Going against the will of heaven, summoning strange beasts, abandoning her daughter, she is addicted

Xiaoling knew all too well what a demon was.

This thing can awaken the deepest evil within a person. Although she wasn't a good person to begin with, if it weren't for the influence of the demon within her, she probably would never have been so cruel to Xiang'er in her entire life.

Demons are something people dread. But what about Ruan Yu? She actually wants her to raise demons? Does she intend to destroy the world?

Xiaoling really couldn't help but suspect that Ruan Yu's mentality was just as twisted as her own.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Ruan Yu noticed Xiao Ling's gaze, but instead of explaining, she ordered, "Cultivate a high-level demon within a month."

"What if we can't train them?" Xiaoling asked.

"Then die."

Ruan Yu said in a cold tone.

If Xiaoling doesn't even have this much ability, then there's no need for her to stay by her side, and she doesn't deserve to stay by her side.

"Then you might as well kill me now." Xiaoling laughed when she heard this. Either way, she was going to die, so the sooner she died, the sooner she would be free.

She steeled herself and sat down in the chair next to Ruan Yu, fuming.

"You don't seem to be unaware of the demon hierarchy. The combat power of high-level demons is extremely abnormal; even the weakest one is probably at the god level. Do you know how long it took me to cultivate a low-level demon into a mid-level demon?"

"More than fifty years!"

For over fifty years! During that time, it endured countless torments and pains before finally being cultivated into a mid-level demon.

Now Ruan Yu casually says, "You can train a mid-level demon into a high-level demon in a month?"

How is that possible? Unless the sun rises in the west and sets in the east!

Furthermore, cultivating high-level demons is far more difficult than cultivating mid-level demons. Conservatively speaking, it would take at least several hundred years.

Therefore, Ruan Yu is making things difficult for someone!

She never really wanted to live!

Xiaoling figured it out, closed her eyes, and said, "Let's do it."

"..." Ruan Yu knew at a glance that Xiao Ling must have imagined something.

"Demon evolution is simply about it devouring other demons. With the added catalyst of your special physique, is it really that difficult to cultivate a high-level demon in a month?"

Xiaoling was absolutely furious with Ruan Yu. Did this woman even know what she was saying? If it were that simple, wouldn't she have already cultivated dozens or even hundreds of high-level demons?

“It’s not difficult to do as you say, but are demons so easy to find?” Xiaoling tried to make Ruan Yu understand: “I know you’re amazing, but even the most skilled cook can’t make a meal without rice. If we can’t find the demon, we can never carry out the plan.”

“I will find the demons myself; that’s not your concern. You just need to train the high-level demons,” Ruan Yu said, standing up.

Xiaoling didn't even blink before the person in front of her vanished into thin air.

"..." If it weren't for the oath of Heaven, Xiaoling really wanted to kill Ruan Yu! Even if she herself would be bleeding from a head wound, she really couldn't bear it!

Ruan Yu seems like a very shrewd person, so why can't she understand what she's saying!

She said that demons are rare and not so easy to find.

Ruan Yu stubbornly believed that he could capture many demons.

Xiaoling was so angry she laughed. She poured herself a glass of water and gulped it down. "If you ever bring back those two devils, I, Fan Xiaoling, will no longer be surnamed Fan, but Ruan, just like you!"

sound off.

Ruan Yuxiu suddenly reappeared and sat in the very spot where she had just disappeared.

The difference was that she was holding two unformed, low-level demons in her hands.

Fan Xiaoling was stunned. She rubbed her eyes in disbelief, thinking she was seeing things! Demons! They really were demons, two of them!

"Master, where did you get these?" Aren't there only a handful of demons on the Beast Taming Continent?

"Eat these two first." Ruan Yu tossed the two low-level demons to Fan Xiaoling.

The latter did not reach out to take it; instead, a wisp of black and white mist emanated from her body. The mid-level demon within her smelled the scent, immediately manifested, grabbed two low-level demons, swallowed them, and then returned to Fan Xiaoling's body to slowly refine them.

"Do you remember what you just said?" Ruan Yu looked at Fan Xiaoling with amusement, a smile appearing on her face.

Fan Xiaoling's expression was strange: "What did you say..."

Her mind went blank; she was completely stunned by Ruan Yu's work.

She admitted that she was a frog in a well, underestimating Ruan Yu's abilities. But this was too outrageous! She captured two low-level demons in the blink of an eye—where did they come from?

Fan Xiaoling was incredibly curious!

But she didn't dare to ask.

“Didn’t you say you wanted to take my surname?” Ruan Yu said.

“...Alright, from today onwards, I, Fan Xiaoling, will change my surname to Ruan Xiaoling.”

"No need for that. But from now on, whatever I say goes." Ruan Yu put away her smile and said seriously, "I don't like others contradicting me."

Fan Xiaoling nodded seriously, knowing that she was being extremely disrespectful as a servant: "Yes, Master."

After this incident, Fan Xiaoling never dared to underestimate Ruan Yu again.

In the following days, Ruan Yu would feed Fan Xiaoling a low-level demon every day.

In the past, refining demons would cause Fan Xiaoling excruciating pain. Now, with Ruan Yu's elixir, she's lively and energetic, as if nothing had happened.

Moreover, Ruan Yu did not restrict her freedom, and even gave her money, allowing her to eat, drink, and have fun outside.

Fan Xiaoling was living a very happy life.

This was a life she never dared to dream of before.

Fan Xiaoling had thought it over herself; even without making a vow, she was willing to follow Ruan Yu.

"You've been out for so long, Master should have finished refining the pills by now, right?" At dusk, Fan Xiaoling came out of the restaurant, her stomach round and full.

On the way back, I bought a candied hawthorn and ate it as I walked.

"It's her." From the shadows.

Several pairs of eyes were fixed on Fan Xiaoling.

"Are you kidding me? I wouldn't even look at this kind of thing, how could that sir possibly be interested?" The man in the brown cloth shirt scrutinized Fan Xiaoling for a moment, then turned around and slapped the person behind him.

The man who was beaten wasn't angry. He smiled apologetically and said, "Sir, it wasn't her. The real one was another woman with her. I guarantee she's a beauty that could topple kingdoms!"

"Yes, sir, we've been in this business for a long time, what kind of beauties haven't we seen? But that woman was extremely beautiful! I dare say there is no woman in the world who can compare to her looks!"

"It was just a fleeting glimpse, but it was unforgettable! Yes, we even had a portrait drawn after we got back!"

The group talked animatedly as they took out a scroll.

The man in the brown shirt didn't believe it at all. What good stuff could there be in this remote, impoverished place? He should have known better than to waste his time here.

So he glanced at it casually, and in that one glance, his breath caught in his throat!

So beautiful! Is she really not a goddess descended to earth?

The lifelike beauty in the painting is none other than Ruan Yu!

"Where is she! Take me to see her!" The man in the brown shirt made up his mind at a glance—it was her!
