The Devil's Tribulation

Nanzhou Holy Flame Island, in the Holy Flame Realm.

Inside the Soul Burial Mountain.

Although Pan Chengfeng used the "purification technique" more than ten times, he still managed to burn the original set of robes worn by his personal disciples.

Each disciple only has one set of robes, so when Pan Chengfeng burned them, he had to take out his own clothes to wear.

Wearing a light purple robe made of materials no less luxurious than those worn by a direct disciple, and with a wooden hairpin, Pan Chengfeng quickly got himself ready.

He thought that after using the cleansing technique and changing his clothes, everyone would stop disliking him.

But when they got within fifty meters of Xueyou, she cried out urgently, "You...you...don't come any closer!"

Pan Chengfeng's face stiffened as he said, "Fairy, is there no need to go to such extremes? I've already cleaned it up."

"You, you, please let me have a moment..." Xueyou knew she had been somewhat impolite.

But she still vividly remembered how Pan Chengfeng had emerged from that pile of filth, and she couldn't quite accept it for a moment.

Xueyou's pretty face showed a slight embarrassment as she said, "Go and take a look at that beast's cave. There should be some good things inside. Consider it my reward for giving you this time."

"Your injury..." Before Pan Chengfeng could finish speaking, Xueyou hurriedly interrupted, "I'm fine, I just overexerted myself. I'll be fine after meditating for a while."

As she spoke, Xueyou sat down cross-legged and took out a few pills to begin circulating her cultivation technique.

Pan Chengfeng, feeling rebuffed, shrugged helplessly and muttered, "Who did I do all this for! And you're still complaining about me, humph!"

Recalling how Xue You used her ultimate move 'Heaven and Earth Manifestation', Pan Chengfeng felt a surge of excitement and muttered to himself, "Was that goddess really Xue You? Is there really such a beautiful woman?"

Pan Chengfeng is still obsessed with that goddess; he's incredibly audacious.

Just as he was drooling and daydreaming, a dark figure moved with incredible speed, appearing on Pan Chengfeng's shoulder in a few flashes.

Hei Wu, with a cute yet fierce expression, his two cat eyes practically spitting fire, grabbed Pan Chengfeng's hair and yelled, "You lied to me! You dare lie to me! I won't be able to eat my meat!!!"

Pan Chengfeng casually grabbed Hei Wu by the neck with practiced ease, lifted him up, and said, "I was just looking for you. Well, that saves me the trouble."

Hei Wu felt a dizzying sensation as Pan Chengfeng pinned him to his thighs. Before he could even speak, a piercing pain shot through his buttocks.

The screams that had just ended at Burial Soul Mountain started again with a 'slap slap slap'.

Black Warrior kicked wildly with his four claws, trying to break free from the clutches, shouting: "Ungrateful! You're a villain!"

I saved you, and now you're spanking me!

"You little rascal! You little rascal! Waaaaah~ Stop hitting me! Waaaaah~ I won't do it again..."

Hearing Hei Wu call him ungrateful and a villain, Pan Chengfeng hit him even harder.

The commotion between the man and the cat was quite loud, and Xue You naturally noticed it as well. Seeing Pan Chengfeng beating a kitten, she felt a little sorry for him and asked, "Fellow Daoist Pan, why are you doing this? Is it your spirit pet?"

Pan Chengfeng said indignantly, "It's my ancestor! An ungrateful wretch..."

After saying those two sentences, Pan Chengfeng realized that it was Xue You who had asked the question, so he quickly adjusted his tone and said, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Fairy. My poor upbringing has produced a rebellious brat."

Hei Wu screamed in agony, but upon hearing Xue You's melodious voice, he grasped at it like a lifeline and cried out urgently, "Fairy sister, save me! He's going to kill me! Sister, please save me!"

Pan Chengfeng's large hand rose and fell on Hei Wu's little buttocks. It seemed like he was hitting hard, but in reality he was holding back. He could hurt and injure him, but he would never seriously injure or kill him.

This time he was really furious. This little kitten not only took advantage of his predicament to extort crystal cores, but also planned to abandon him and run away. Even an uncle and aunt could not tolerate this.

With such a spirit pet, you might as well throw all those resources into the sea!

Pan Chengfeng didn't know what sins he had committed, since other people's spirit pets could protect their masters from harm.

Let's not even talk about Xin'er's spirit pet. Look at the spirit pets of the Qiu brothers, Situ Xian's Xuanbing Jiao, Liu Qian's Tie Tou and Tong Tou, and so on.

Which one isn't both obedient and well-behaved?

Oh, right, there's also the big guy. The big guy is very obedient, but he doesn't seem to be able to tell whose orders to follow.

Seeing that Pan Chengfeng was hitting him quite hard, and Hei Wu was screaming in pain, Xue You, as if possessed, involuntarily shouted, "That's enough, stop hitting him!"

Startled by Xue You's rebuke, Pan Chengfeng froze in mid-air, staring blankly at Xue You and asking, "What does the fairy mean by this?"

Xueyou actually interfered when he was disciplining his own pet!

Pan Chengfeng was momentarily stunned, and Hei Wu hurriedly broke free of his restraints, escaping to Xue You in a few swift movements. He pleaded with his large, pleading eyes, "Fairy, save me... my butt hurts so much..."

Xueyou's heart skipped a beat; she was instantly charmed. She picked up Heiwu and thought to herself, "How can there be such an adorable kitten? It's so cute!"

Pan Chengfeng saw that Hei Wu had actually run into Xue You's arms and thought anxiously, "Oh no! This little kitten is going to use the same trick again!"

"Snow..." "Alright! Go find your treasure, I'll teach it a lesson for you."

Pan Chengfeng wanted to say something, but Xue You's beautiful eyes glared at him and stopped him.

Pan Chengfeng had no choice but to swallow back what he was about to say, and cupped his hands slightly, saying, "Alright, I'll go see what treasures it has. If this little kitten misbehaves, Fairy, feel free to beat it. It doesn't matter if you beat it to death."

Pan Chengfeng hadn't gone far when he heard Hei Wu's complaining voice: "Listen, Fairy Sister, did you hear that? That brat doesn't care about my life or death at all!"

I just saved his life, and this is how he repays me!

"I'm going to tell Sister Qian'er on this!"

Xueyou asked with a look of doubt, "Who is Sister Qian'er?"

Black Warrior rubbed his swollen little bottom and replied, "Fairy sister, could you please heal my wounds first? I'll tell you slowly afterwards~"

Xueyou didn't refuse. She took out the best wound medicine and applied it to Heiwu while listening to Heiwu reveal Pan Chengfeng's 'dirt'.

How good is Pan Chengfeng's hearing?

Although they were already two kilometers apart, Hei Wu heard every word he said and remembered it.

He secretly vowed, "Looks like I haven't beaten him enough! I refuse to believe that a son can't be raised through beatings!"

Hei Wu is with Xue You now, so Pan Chengfeng doesn't dare to do anything.

They had no choice but to cover their heads and head straight into the cave of the Emperor Soul Beast.

The empty cave was filled with a foul stench, and there were several piles of bones of unknown creatures surrounding a huge stone bed.

It seems that the Emperor Soul Beast has always been resting on that stone bed. Although it has lost its intelligence, it has still retained some of its old habits.

As soon as Pan Chengfeng entered, he pinched his nose and then used his magic to form a protective layer, preventing the foul-smelling gas from flowing into his nasal cavity.

After looking around twice and finding nothing of value, Pan Chengfeng said with some disappointment, "No way, an eighth-tier magical beast doesn't have any guardian herbs? How is that possible?"

Undeterred, Pan Chengfeng circled the cave twice more, but found nothing of value except for bones.

Pan Chengfeng patted a huge white bone and said, "The only things worth anything here are the skeletons of these seventh-tier demonic beasts; there's nothing else..."

The bones of seventh-tier demonic beasts can be used to refine magical artifacts, but Pan Chengfeng is not yet able to refine them. However, it's good to have them in reserve, as he will need them sooner or later.

With a wave of his hand, Pan Chengfeng stored the entire skeleton of the seventh-order demon beast into his storage bracelet.

With most of the bones gone, the enormous stone bed was revealed.

Pan Chengfeng jumped up the steps, which were as high as a dozen city walls, in just a few steps. As soon as he stood down, he saw a fist-sized black and gold mushroom growing on the left hind foot of the stone bed.

Pan Chengfeng's heart skipped a beat. He wanted to exclaim in surprise, but worried that he might be seeing things, so he quickly took three steps at a time to get to the mushroom.

I removed my protective layer and brought my nose close to the mushroom to take a sniff.

Upon smelling it, something extraordinary happened; the entire cave echoed with Pan Chengfeng's loud laughter.

Even Xueyou and Heiwu outside heard it.

Hei Wu said with a look of disdain, "He must have found some treasure. Fairy sister, look at him, so naive. It's just treasure, I've seen plenty of that~"

Xueyou stroked Heiwu's little head and said, "Yes, it's just a 'Heavenly Rhyme Divine Mushroom,' look how happy he is..."

Before he could finish speaking, Black Warrior in his arms disappeared.

Xueyou looked up and saw that Heiwu was no longer injured. He was running very fast on his four short legs, shouting as he ran, "I got a share of this precious medicine too!! You can't keep it all to yourself!"

This cat bled for you, this cat saved your life, and this cat has a share of the precious medicine!
