Lei Yucheng's face turned deathly pale, and his voice trembled slightly as he pressed, "Brother Ye, is there really no way at all? Are we just supposed to watch him turn into a monster who only knows how to kill?"
The despair in his eyes seemed genuine; clearly, that "close friend" held immense weight in his heart.
Seeing this, Tang Xi said quietly, "Since His Majesty the Wolf King has already reported this matter to the Demon Emperor, with the Demon Emperor's abilities, he must have his own considerations and solutions. Your coming to us... is actually not very meaningful."
Indeed, if even Ye Wushang couldn't solve the problem, then these younger generation members, even if they were willing, would probably be powerless to reverse the situation.
But just then, Bai Xiaoruo pondered for a moment and blurted out, "Actually... this evil spirit's blood energy isn't entirely incurable. If the symptoms are mild and the erosion isn't deep, it seems there are still ways to clear it... hiss..."
However, before she could finish speaking, she gasped sharply, froze on the spot, and swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
This abrupt pause immediately drew everyone's attention.
Feeling those gazes, Bai Xiaoruo paused for two or three seconds before managing an extremely awkward yet polite smile. She raised her hand to adjust her collar, concealing the blush rising on her neck, and explained with a dazed look, "N-nothing... I suddenly... I suddenly thought of something happy..."
Everyone: "..."
But Lei Yucheng, who was above, was unwilling to let go of this glimmer of hope and said urgently, "Sister Bai, you're not kidding me! That person is really important to me! If there really is a way..."
“Uh…” Bai Xiaoruo’s expression stiffened, and she glanced at Shen Yunhao beside her.
However, Shen Yunhao remained calm, leisurely picking up his teacup with the hand on the table, taking a slow sip without making any comment.
This "it's none of my business" attitude infuriated the little fox, who wanted nothing more than to pounce on him and bite him again.
But faced with Lei Yucheng's almost burning expectant gaze, she was caught in a dilemma. After stammering for a long time, she could only vaguely say, "This matter... I... actually... am not quite sure either. I just vaguely seem to have heard someone mention a possibility... yes, a possibility! As for the specifics, I will have to go back and ask before I can give you a definite answer..."
"But...but..."
"Enough!"
Bai Xiaoruo raised her eyebrows, venting all her resentment, which she didn't know where it came from, on this unlucky guy. "I said I would help if I had a way! Why are you rushing me! Don't ask anymore!"
Startled by her sudden outburst of anger, Lei Yucheng opened his mouth, but ultimately dared not say anything more, and lowered his head dejectedly.
Li Ye and Tang Xi, who were on either side, looked at Bai Xiaoruo thoughtfully.
Li Ye was clearly curious about what this vague "treatment method" she was referring to actually was.
Tang Xi's gaze shifted subtly between Bai Xiaoruo and Shen Yunhao. She was more curious about Bai Xiaoruo's strange reaction earlier...
Only when everyone's attention was no longer focused on her did Bai Xiaoruo subtly reach under the table and yank out a hand that had somehow slipped under her robe and was rubbing against her leg. She didn't forget to pinch the back of the hand hard, making Shen Yunhao gasp in pain.
But when faced with Bai Xiaoruo's fierce eyes, he merely raised an eyebrow, his face remaining calm and composed. He even raised the hand that had been pinched and continued drinking tea as if nothing had happened.
"..."
Bai Xiaoruo gritted her teeth in anger, but there was nothing she could do.
Of course she knew that the little thing he did under the table was to remind her not to reveal Han Haixin's secret, but... couldn't you have done it another way?
Why does he have to act like a scoundrel at a time like this and make a fool of himself in front of everyone...?
Above, Lei Yucheng finally recovered from his disappointment and worry, cleared his throat, and drew everyone's attention back.
"As for the second matter..." He glanced at a silent figure in the corner of the room, "Let Brother Tie explain it himself!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's surprised gazes turned to him.
Sitting in the corner, Tie Li, who wasn't particularly burly, slowly stood up, first clasping his hands in a fist salute to everyone present and then looking around.
"Gentlemen and ladies, first of all, I would like to convey the message through Brother Yucheng, regarding the reason for gathering everyone here. If there is any abruptness, I hope you will all forgive me!"
Then, he continued, "It is truly my honor to have this opportunity to get to know the outstanding young talents of the Lizhou demon race today."
Although these words were just polite formalities, he spoke sincerely and adopted a humble attitude, so even though the crowd still had some doubts, they couldn't feel any resentment.
After exchanging pleasantries, Tie Li's expression became much more serious: "I wonder if any of you have ever heard of 'Melting Source Body Refinement'?"
Sitting next to him, Lu Shaojie stroked his chin and spoke first: "You mean the Fusion Source Body Refinement, which your Mountain Moving Clan only has once every ten years, and which can temper the demon body and purify the bloodline?"
"Brother Lu, your knowledge is truly vast; this is indeed the secret technique for body refinement." Tie Li nodded, no longer keeping everyone in suspense. "I have come here today to invite you all to participate in our clan's once-a-decade Fusion Body Refinement!"
"What?!"
"Inviting us?"
These words shocked everyone present!
Even Bai Xiaoruo, who was still sulking, and Shen Yunhao, who seemed calm while drinking tea, raised their heads, a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes.
The next moment, someone waved their hand with a smile, "Brother Tie, don't joke around! This Fusion Source Body Refinement is an extremely important core resource for your Mountain Moving Clan. It is only opened once every ten years, and there are only about a hundred slots each time. It has always been allocated to the most important elite disciples in your clan. There has never been a precedent of inviting outsiders to participate!"
