Even hybrid monsters have their day

A glint of purple light flashed in Xu Ruwen's eyes. "Actually, I don't mind if we become a real couple."

It must be said that although Xu Ruwen and Xiaobai are both male, they are fundamentally different.

Although Xiaobai has lived for tens of thousands of years, it has been living a life similar to a single-player game because it is mostly alone and rarely leaves the underworld. Therefore, its spirit is still very simple.

Xu Ruwen was different. He had been through the tumultuous world of human society, and because of his superior physical attributes, he had never suppressed his desires. Although he was able to maintain his composure, his spirit was quite open-minded, and he had almost learned all the inherent flaws of humanity.

Geng Miaowan felt a flash of light before her eyes, and in the haze, Qiu Pi's handsome face appeared again. He looked at her affectionately, stroked her face, and said, "Wan'er, will you be my woman?"

Her heart was filled with surging emotions, like a turbulent sea, with wave after wave rolling in.

"Qiu Pi..."

"Wan'er..."

"No!" A voice echoed from the depths of her heart, "This isn't me...this isn't me..."

The voice in her heart grew louder and louder, like a boulder thrown into the sea, the splashing water sweeping over her like waves, striking her heart heavily.

The moment this thought crossed her mind, she felt Qiu Pi's image blur for a moment, like an old television suddenly changing channels, and her expression turned somewhat pained.

"Are you trying to kill her?" A voice echoed in her mind, tinged with displeasure. "If this triggers her inner demons, it will be a major threat to her future cultivation!"

Although Luan Hao said that, he had no intention of helping her.

At this moment, Xu Ruwen also noticed her unusual behavior. He had only intended to joke with her, and hadn't actually used his full charm. If it were Geng Miaowan, who possessed cultivation, she certainly wouldn't be affected; at most, she would just be momentarily distracted.

However, he forgot that her cultivation was suppressed in this space. Now she was no different from an ordinary human, and coupled with her complete lack of defense, even such a slight spell caused her to have an unusual reaction.

He immediately wanted to undo the spell on her, but Luan Hao stopped him. "Undoing the spell isn't necessarily effective, and even if you did, you wouldn't untie the knot in her heart; instead, you'd plant the seeds of inner demons within her. Oh well, let fate decide. If she can overcome this on her own, it will benefit her future cultivation." This was the main reason he only offered advice and didn't actually help her.

“But she…” Xu Ruwen hesitated. In the past, even if she died because of him, he wouldn't have felt anything. However, this time, knowing that Geng Miaowan might be in trouble, a subtle change occurred in his heart.

He just doesn't understand yet that this is a special bond between owner and pet.

"Let's trust her this once..." Xiao Bai also spoke up. For cultivators, inner demons are always a powerful and terrifying existence. "If it really doesn't work, it's not too late for you to take action."

After saying that, it was still a little worried, so it added, "Luan Hao, could you keep an eye on the girl for me?"

Because it concerned Geng Miaowan's safety, Luan Hao, unusually, did not contradict Xiao Bai and replied, "I will."

Fortunately, their fears didn't come true, and soon Geng Miaowan's complexion gradually improved. However, she didn't regain consciousness; instead, she entered a meditative state. This was the first time they had encountered such a situation, and they weren't sure if it was normal, but they all tacitly refrained from disturbing her.

She didn't open her eyes until noon the next day. Her eyes were clear as water, and a joyful smile graced her face. "I'm about to break through..."

Yesterday, while resisting the allure of the spell, she somehow suddenly entered her sea of ​​consciousness and began meditating. Although no one cultivated in this space, the spiritual energy was still abundant.

As soon as she entered meditation, she was pleasantly surprised to find that her unexpected action had caused the spiritual energy in her dantian to surge, and she seemed to be on the verge of a breakthrough. It had only been a little over a month since her last breakthrough to the initial stage; if she could break through to the later stage, she would be only one step away from the Foundation Establishment stage.

If she continues at this pace, she might be able to advance to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage in the group selection competition a year from now. At that time, her chances of winning against others would be much greater. Although she felt that this cultivation speed was still not enough, she was basically satisfied and had nothing to say about it.

She was unaware that even for cultivators with exceptional talent, advancing from the Qi Refining stage to the Foundation Establishment stage takes at least two to three years, not to mention for ordinary cultivators, three to five years is common. And yet, she only expressed basic satisfaction with her almost heaven-defying cultivation speed. If her group members knew, she'd probably be torn to shreds.

However, the creatures present were all ancient beings, thousands of years old, and naturally did not pay much attention to her slight improvement in cultivation. As a result, Geng Miaowan did not realize until much later that her cultivation speed could be considered heaven-defying among cultivators.

Xu Ruwen felt relieved as soon as he saw that she didn't mention the spell he had cast on her, but Geng Miaowan gave him a sidelong glance and said, "I'll remember this debt."

Once her cultivation surpasses his, she'll torment him a thousand times over!

Xu Ruwen shrugged indifferently, then remembered the words Feng Xiaotian had left for her that morning and said, "Yi Lanfeng is dead."

"What! Dead?" Geng Miaowan exclaimed in shock. They had been waiting for this person at the bar last night. "How did he die?"

Asking would be pointless; if Feng Xiaotian's calculations are correct, then...

"Just like those people."

Yi Lanfeng is a notorious playboy in the city. He takes advantage of his family's wealth to seduce women everywhere. On one occasion, he even teamed up with several other spoiled brats to forcibly take a female student he had his eye on home. After the incident was exposed, his family paid money to settle the matter.

Calling them scum is an insult to the word. Even the victims of similar murders in recent years, Geng Miaowan felt, deserved to die.

Previously, she had limited information and was not very clear about the details of the incident. Now, after learning about these things, she felt that the murderer was practically eliminating a scourge for society. She couldn't even muster any interest in such a person.

As night fell, a villa at the foot of the mountain was surrounded by yellow police tape, with two policemen on guard squatting by the roadside. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, and two dark figures entered the villa at lightning speed.

A policeman rubbed his eyes. "Did something pass by?"

The other looked up and saw that the surroundings were empty. "You must be mistaken, it's just the wind." (To be continued.)
