Shang Beiyu sensed the demonic seed being suppressed again in the room, sending him a distress signal. He stirred the demonic energy within his body, preparing to lend a helping hand.
In that instant, almost all of Hei Xiao and Ji Fengyao's efforts were wasted.
The Demon Lord's appeal to demons was absolute and insane; the demons instantly went into a berserk state and launched a frenzied counterattack.
Ji Fengyao sensed the demonic seed's berserk counterattack and recklessly unleashed her full spiritual power to suppress it. Her spiritual power was almost exhausted, and she collapsed her cultivation!
"Little Yao'er, stop! If this continues, you will lose all your cultivation!" Black Owl noticed Ji Fengyao's actions and shouted anxiously.
Shang Beiyu was also frightened by Ji Fengyao's reckless actions, and stopped after only briefly stirring up demonic energy:
He never expected that the little guy would risk his future and his life to protect Xiao Chen!
Without Shang Beiyu's stimulation and support, the demonic seed only entered a berserk state for a second before returning to normal. Ji Fengyao and Hei Xiao's spiritual power, like a landslide and a tsunami, instantly suppressed it back into the dantian, and all the demonic energy shrank back into the seed shell.
"good!"
Ji Fengyao exclaimed with delight, quickly grasped the silver needles between her fingers, and repeatedly applied them to Hei Xiao's waist, abdomen, and dantian, placing a total of three seals.
After doing all this, Ji Fengyao's body went limp and she collapsed onto the couch.
She had just lost a level of cultivation, dropping from the twelfth level of the Legendary Realm to the eleventh level, which can be described as a great loss of cultivation and damage to her foundation.
"Little Yao'er, how are you?" Hei Xiao, dragging his weak body, turned around and half-lifted the little female bandit, looking at her pale, bloodless face with great heartache, his eyes reddening with tears.
After dealing with the Empress Dowager's affairs, Xique rushed over in a hurry.
Upon hearing Black Owl's words outside the door, Magpie quickly pushed aside Lin Shuang, who was sobbing in the doorway, and rushed into the house.
Seeing Ji Fengyao, who had been full of energy just moments before, suddenly become so weak, and Hei Xiao, who had been full of vigor in the afternoon, looking as if he had just returned from the brink of death, suddenly erupted in anger.
She rushed to Lin Shuang, who had followed her in, grabbed Lin Shuang's collar with her left hand, and raised her tightly clenched fist to Lin Shuang's face. She was trembling with hatred, but in the end, she remembered their past sisterly affection and did not hit her.
After holding back for a long time, the magpie finally roared at the top of its lungs, "You ungrateful wretch! How much more should my young lady treat you before you are satisfied? How could you bear to harm her like this, and even harm Master Hei like this? Are you even human?!"
"I had no intention of harming the Princess, nor did I intend to harm Brother Xiao. I was instigated and deceived. I long to be with Brother Xiao..." Lin Shuang knelt down in front of the bed, crying, and said repeatedly, "Princess, please punish me. Brother Xiao, please hit me. But please believe me, I really had no intention of harming you!"
Black Owl half-embraced the little female bandit, his breathing rapid, a strange flush rising on his pale face. His eyes were icy as he looked at Lin Shuang, his voice as cold as ice: "In the past, I held you in high regard only because you were someone favored by Xiao Yao'er; today I'll make my words clear: even if I, Xiao Chen, am reduced to ashes, I will not marry a slave girl, much less you. From this moment on, we are strangers, with no friendship left, only the hatred of a near-death experience!"
Today we are strangers, and there will be no more friendship in this life!
These words carry immense weight!
Lin Shuang felt as if her burning heart had been thrown into a bottomless icy lake.
The warmth in my heart was quickly cooled and frozen, chilling me to the bone, as I plummeted into an endless abyss.
