"We'll wipe out all the demon nests in one fell swoop!" Ghost Face confidently raised his right forepaw and said, "Really, I can see through those demons' illusions. I won't miss a single nest and I guarantee they won't return alive. They'll all be sent to the endless void!"
"I believe you," Shang Xiye surprisingly affirmed instead of arguing with Guimian this time.
Ghost Face was overjoyed and was about to ask Shang Xiye how many underlings he could get.
But Shang Xiye continued, “This time is different from the past. Since you have already encountered Jiu Yue’s demon shell twice in the Demon Beast Forest, it means that these demon nests are personally guarded by Jiu Yue’s demon shell. He will not allow you to destroy his millennium plan. If you anger him and force him to take full action, even if I give you all the manpower of the Pill Sect, you will not be able to return.”
“Yes, Mianmian, if you really want to help me and the Prince, then focus on continuing to advance your cultivation level.” Ji Fengyao reached out and stroked the mane on Ghost Face’s forehead, which had hardened a bit, and said gently, “Look, you’ve only advanced one level, yet you’ve already forced Jiu Yue to split his demonic soul again to help you. If you can advance to a Great Demon or even take human form, with your talent and abilities, you will definitely be of great help then.”
The female master's gentle encouragement made Ghost Face's blood boil.
It was rare that the male master didn't criticize him today, and even affirmed him. Ghost Face felt that his life was perfect. He tilted his head with smug excitement, jumped up and paced back and forth, and agreed repeatedly: "Since the male master and female master both place high hopes on me and think so highly of me, then starting today, I will go into seclusion and focus on cultivation. I will not do anything else until I advance to the level of a great demon. I will never come out of seclusion!"
"Then you'd better keep your word. Don't just find a place to squat for two days and then sneak out to slack off again. I'm going to prepare to break through to the Pill Saint realm, and everyone will be very busy and may not be able to take care of you. If you sneak out again and encounter the Demon Lord's demonic shell, no one will be able to save you." Ji Fengyao was afraid that he would lose his patience, so she deliberately teased him with a smile.
"No way, mistress, just you wait and see, this time Mianmian has truly reformed," Ghost Face raised his right forepaw again to swear.
Seeing that he did this humane thing quite well, Shang Xiye couldn't help but laugh and tease him, "'Reformed,' you're quite self-aware. But don't talk big too soon, or you'll regret it later."
Ghost Face instantly exploded: "What the hell? Your face hurts? You're the one who's going to be in pain, Master! Just you wait, I'm going to find a place in the back mountains to cultivate in seclusion. When you see me again, I'll be a handsome young man even more handsome than you, and then you'll be jealous!"
Having said that, Ghost Face, eager to prove himself, dashed off towards the back of the mountain and disappeared without a trace.
Watching Er Gouzi's comical back view, Shang Xiye and Ji Fengyao couldn't help but exchange a smile:
This guy is a real character.
With him around, their lives were filled with much more fun.
"However, Your Highness, are we really going to leave those demon lairs unattended? They're the channels through which the demons mobilize their army," Ji Fengyao asked, already having a plan in mind. "How about I attempt my Pill Saint breakthrough in the Demon Beast Forest? When the Pill Tribulation comes, if the Heavenly Dao senses the existence of the demon lairs and demons, it will intensify the lightning punishment, directly destroying those lairs and demons. Under the lightning punishment, even if Demon Lord Jiu Yue himself comes, he'll be helpless, and we might even be able to eliminate him as well!"
