After being forced into marriage, the metaphysical master became the darling of the richest family.

Chapter 324

There was only a moment of silence in the room before the sound of two elderly men gasping for breath could be heard.

Lu Hui stared intently at the ball of black energy in the woman's palm, stammering, "This really is... no, this shouldn't be demonic energy, how could it be demonic energy?"

He and Si Tang exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Si Tang smiled at An Jiuxi, his tone hesitant, "An girl, this is no joke. Demonic energy disappeared from China more than a hundred years ago. If this really is demonic energy, do you know what that means?"

“I understand.” An Jiuxi nodded seriously. “I will take responsibility for my words. You two should have heard about the demonic energy that was seen at the Haicheng branch before, right?”

When the topic came up, Lu Hui chimed in, "Yes, that's true. I thought it was an apology, so I didn't tell you. I never expected..."

There have been many cases of misidentifying yin energy over the years, so it's understandable that Lu Hui didn't tell Si Tang immediately.

"I was the one who extracted it that time."

As An Jiuxi spoke, she placed the demonic energy in her hand into a specially made glass bottle.

Without her spiritual aura enveloping it, the demonic energy gradually awakened and began to rampage within the small glass bottle.

It even tried to smash the glass bottle against the edge of the table so that it could escape.

Unfortunately, An Jiuxi saw through its intention and moved the glass bottle further inside. "The two teachers have also noticed that this thing is beginning to have self-awareness."

The two men had grave expressions, their eyes fixed on the demonic energy.

"The demonic energy of self-awareness has probably devoured a lot of luck. It seems we need to take that thing out and investigate it thoroughly."

Although Si Tang believed what An Jiuxi said, he still needed to test it to be sure before he could determine whether it was demonic energy or not.

"I'm going to the warehouse to retrieve it now." Lu Hui said this and strode away quickly, his brisk pace leaving Si Tang shaking his head helplessly.

"That old guy still has a grudge about that matter."

An Jiuxi was curious about what Si Tang was referring to, but seeing that he didn't seem inclined to continue, she didn't ask.

Jin Yize stood to one side, watching the demonic energy crashing against the glass bottle, and for some reason felt a little sleepy.

Unable to resist moving closer to An Jiuxi, the dizziness in his head lessened somewhat when he smelled her light scent.

Noticing something was off about him, An Jiuxi glanced coldly at the demonic energy and reached out to squeeze the man's wrist. "Don't look at me too much."

This demonic energy was mixed with alluring desires, and Jin Yize, being of a special constitution, naturally couldn't stare at it for long.

It's easily lured; let it go!

"Okay." Jin Yize withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyes to look at her hand that was holding his wrist, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

He felt happy just knowing she cared about him!

Si Tang was not paying attention to their conversation, as he was currently browsing through records on his computer, searching for recent files on the discovery of demonic energy.

Apart from Haicheng, it has not appeared in any other places.

Or perhaps it has already appeared, but their people simply couldn't distinguish whether it was yin energy or demonic energy!

Thinking of this, Si Tang subconsciously looked at the two people standing behind him, and his gaze finally focused on An Jiuxi.

He was incredibly curious about this little girl!

“An girl, you…”

Just as Si Tang was about to ask a question, a series of rumbling sounds came from outside the door, like the sound of something heavy hitting the ground.

As the lab door swung open, Lu Hui, his face flushed, struggled to drag in something that resembled an alchemy furnace.

The stove was covered in dust, and some parts were even rusty.

It looks like it hasn't been used for at least forty or fifty years.
