Villain Master, my disciples all want to backstab me

Although he didn't take the little waste's suspected behind-the-scenes manipulation seriously.

However, it was a small lucky bag worth 100 points after all, and this "panda panties" looked pretty cute... So Bai Yuan didn't say much, just muttered in his heart: "Small lucky bags have already given out stockings, so super-large lucky bags can't give out anymore."

【…】

The little waste said nothing.

Regardless, Bai Yuan prayed softly before once again investing in the fluctuation value. With a flash of light, the silver turntable was replaced by a large turntable shimmering with star-like colors. The pointer on the disk spun at high speed for more than a dozen times before slowly stopping at a certain grid...

[Fluctuation value -10000]

[Congratulations to the host, you've won the Moon Cat Earrings (ear-shaped ornaments crafted from the remains of a Moon Shadow Cat Demon. Wearing them increases spiritual power absorption and recovery speed by 300% (an additional 100% increase at night), and allows you to use the Moon Shadow Cat Demon clan's innate magical powers: Nine Shadows Resurrection and Shadow Travel. It also enhances the five senses.]

[Nine Shadows of Rebirth: From the tail, one to nine [Life Shadows], alternating between real and imaginary, split off. Each Life Shadow can absorb one fatal blow for the main body, granting nine lives. After the Life Shadow shatters, the main body must consume moonlight to rebuild, during which time the main body's combat power is reduced by 30%.]

[Shadow Walk: Transform yourself into a translucent shadow, freely traveling between the physical and shadow dimensions. While walking, you ignore physical obstacles, but will be burned by magical instruments and talismans containing pure yang energy.]

“…Huh!”

Bai Yuan opened his eyes wide, and a look of surprise appeared on his face as he studied the text.

This is really...

It’s like finding a treasure!

"Moon Shadow Cat Demon", Bai Yuan has some impression of it.

That is an ancient demon tribe mentioned in the setting collection of "Asking the Immortal".

This clan was born in the "Eclipse Moon Abyss" ten thousand years ago. Their ancestor was a nine-life spirit cat that devoured the fallen fragments of the lunar planet. As a result, they gained the ability to travel between the shadows and the real world, and this ability has been passed down from generation to generation.

The "Moon Shadow Cat Demon" in its heyday was said to be among the top ten demons in terms of strength, but its reproductive capacity was low, so it is now basically extinct. The last time it was seen in the cultivation world was more than two thousand years ago, and it has never appeared since then.

However, it has two branches that are doing quite well, continuing from thousands of years ago to the present day, and have appeared in the main text of "Asking the Immortal" -

One branch, the Nine-Lived Cat Clan, closely resembles the Moon Shadow Cat Demon in appearance. They inherit the Nine-Lived gift and possess a stronger reproductive capacity. However, their racial stats are relatively low, and even exceptional adults are typically only at the Golden Core to Nascent Soul stage.

The other branch lives in the Eastern Wilderness Monster Territory, a powerful clan there. They possess a racial value closer to the "Moon Shadow Cat Demon" and the ability to transform their bodies into shadows and "etherealize"...

Well, that's right.

I'm talking about the "Shadow Leopard Clan".

A few days ago, Bai Yuan and his group encountered a shadow leopard, which was killed by Ji Lingyun. Now they have drawn a magic weapon from their ancestors. This is quite a coincidence.

now.

The Moon Cat Earring's [Shadow Walk] is similar to the Shadow Leopard Clan's [Etherealization]. Combined with [Nine Shadows Resurrection], which can withstand up to nine fatal blows, these two abilities are worth nearly 10000 Fluctuation Points. Not to mention, it also comes with "Enhanced Five Senses" and an increase in spiritual energy absorption speed.

That’s a 300% increase!

The jar of [Drunken Immortal Wine] that Bai Yuan still remembered so vividly was only 70%!

Such an increase, combined with Bai Yuan's spiritual roots after three transformations, is likely to make him even better than the destined protagonist!

"Little waste, you performed well this time."

Bai Yuan praised him in his heart, then breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the turntable:

"Come on... one last shot!"

[Fluctuation value -10000]

[Congratulations to the host, you got...]

……

After a while.

Bai Yuan opened his eyes again and fell into deep thought as he looked at the two black objects that appeared in his palms.

This thing is the [Moon Cat Earrings].

Bai Yuan thought that this thing might be an earring or something, after all, it was made of the "Moon Shadow Cat Demon Remains". However, when she actually got it in her hand, she found that the appearance of this magic weapon was clearly a pair of black cat ears, and they were furry, and felt very soft and comfortable to the touch.

but……

If I wear this thing on my ears...

Bai Yuan tried to put the earrings on her ears, gestured for a while, and then looked at the figure in the bronze mirror in front of her.

Chapter 161 Cat-eared Lolita and Undercurrent

Bai Yuan in loli form is not tall, and her figure is petite, but her body proportions are very good. She looks like a pocket-sized version of the mature woman form.

now.

With such a figure and appearance, coupled with such a pair of fluffy cat ears, she looks like a kitten that has just transformed, so cute.

Even those cold, sharp, and murderous peach blossom eyes didn't hold much of a threat. Instead, they added a touch of ferocity to her delicate, porcelain-doll-like face. It made one want to grab this cat-eared girl, hold her in their arms, and torment her.

——In fact, if possible, Bai Yuan himself would like to do so.

It's a pity that it can't be done.

Now the key question is...

She is the "Blood Kite Demon Lord" who has killed countless people!

What’s going on when “The Demonic Lord” turns into “Cat-eared Girl”?

If this face was seen by the Blood Origin Sect, the Shentu Clan, or those righteous cultivators who were bent on exorcising demons and defending the Way, they would probably burst out laughing. Even close friends like Ye Shuang'er and Ji Tingxue would probably look at her strangely...

Although Bai Yuan no longer has much of the authority of a master in front of Ye Shuang'er, he cannot give up on himself like this!

Of course.

From another perspective, the 300% increase in spiritual power absorption is still very impressive, not to mention the two magical powers [Nine Shadows Rebirth] and [Shadow Travel], which can do things that even the God Transformation Realm cannot do.

If Bai Yuan had to choose between face, dignity, and these two magical powers, she would most likely lean towards...

wrong!

Why can’t I have them all?!

Bai Yuan reacted and immediately whispered in his heart, "Little loser, this thing of yours...is there any way to hide it? Like, shrink it a little, or fold it in half?"

She had just tried it. The structure of the [Moon Cat Earrings] was mortise and tenon style, and had a certain degree of elasticity. After wearing it, it could just cover her original ears. She could hardly feel the foreign body, and it could also move around like real cat ears.

However, this kind of "movement" has a very small amplitude, and it is difficult to stick the ears to the head and then cover them with hair... Even if it can be done, the bulging appearance will look a bit strange.

【this……】

The little waste obviously didn't expect Bai Yuan to ask this, and immediately began to flip through the instructions:

[There is no such function as the host said]

[However, these earrings themselves can also use the [Shadow Walk] ability. If the host really wants to hide them, they can choose to activate this ability. In this way, the earrings will become a translucent shadow, which is difficult to distinguish without careful observation.]

"Is that so...? That's fine too."

Bai Yuan nodded, then thought of something else: "Then I have another question. What does 'a magical weapon imbued with pure yang energy' refer to? Does it have anything to do with the sun? Does that mean that if I'm active under the scorching sun, my ability to [Shadow Walk] will also be restricted?"

【Yes】

Generally speaking, the Moon Shadow Cat Demon's abilities can only be maximized at night or on rainy days. During the day, especially at noon when the sun is at its peak, the use of its abilities is somewhat restricted.

The specific manifestations are a burning sensation from the outside to the inside, a faster rate of spiritual power consumption, and the outline of the shadow when moving becomes more obvious...]

"Um……"

Bai Yuan listened to the little waste's explanation and pursed her lips slightly. "But, even on rainy days, the sun is actually there, right? It's just obscured by clouds and invisible. And isn't moonlight essentially reflected sunlight? Why is it unaffected at night?"

【……ah?】

The system seemed stunned.

[This...maybe it's due to the light intensity.]

"Yeah……"

Bai Yuan pondered for a moment and didn't ask any more questions.

After all, the "Pure Yang Power" judgment criteria given by the system is a good thing for her.

Besides, this is a world of immortal cultivation, and many common astronomical theorems aren't universally applicable. Perhaps the sun here is actually a reincarnation of the ancient "Three-legged Golden Crow," and there's a Guanghan Palace on the moon... There's no point dwelling on these things.

present.

Bai Yuan recalled the setting collection of "Asking the Immortal" that he had read in his previous life, and made a simple note of the forces that might possess the "Pure Yang Power".

——These are all her potential enemies.

Although the "Moon Shadow Cat Demon" had been missing for thousands of years, and it was unknown whether it was extinct, the ancient clans and sects likely had records of it. If she used "Nine Shadows Resurrection" or "Shadow Travel" twice in front of outsiders, they would likely be able to track her down and take targeted action.

Therefore, Bai Yuan had to find a way to conceal the [Moon Cat Earrings] to prevent the trump card from being revealed too early.

On the other hand, you must also be prepared for the possibility of leaks and being targeted, and develop several response plans in advance to avoid regrets after the incident.

Thinking of this, Bai Yuan felt a little headache.

Since the "whitewashing plan" began, she has not gained many friends, but has more and more potential enemies.

At the beginning, there was only the Qingxuan Sect, and later on, the Qingming Valley, the Xueyuan Sect, the Shentu Family, the Donghuang Demon Clan were added... Fortunately, Jiang Rao's hatred value was reduced by her, otherwise there might be several more added to this list.

Of course, even with just the few on the list, it's already astonishing. It's not quite as far from being "the enemy of the whole world," but it's not far off.

Bai Yuan suspected that there might be an invisible big hand exerting force here.

Well...that's what I'm talking about: "Heaven's Way".

After all, her survival to this day was essentially a violation of Heaven's will, and she had also deceived Ye Shuang'er and Jiang Rao, the two originally destined "daughters of Heaven." Ye Shuang'er was probably sold out by her and would have helped count the money. Under such circumstances, Heaven naturally wouldn't be kind to her.

And if all this is really related to "Heaven's Way"...

Then, she might face even more severe challenges. It's not impossible that she might even have to "die" one or two more times.

For this reason, these prizes from the super-large lucky bag may be able to provide her with a lot of help.

Next.

Bai Yuan began to try out the two magical powers of the [Moon Cat Earrings].

After repeated attempts, she gradually became familiar with [Shadow Walk].

The use of this magical power is not complicated. As long as the power contained in the [earrings] is mobilized in a special way, the whole person can be transformed into a blurry shadow.

This kind of shadow can only be seen as a hazy outline in bright light, but in the dimly lit cave, it is like invisible and cannot be distinguished by the naked eye.

More importantly, in this state, she can easily shuttle through rocks and rock walls, and achieve instantaneous shuttle and jump to the "shadow" area within a certain range - but the latter method of use consumes a lot of spiritual power and cannot be used for a long time.

Incidentally, the shadowing ability of "Shadow Walk" can be applied only to a specific area. This is the method Bai Yuan had just asked the system about, to hide the earrings. However, localized shadowing is more difficult than full shadowing, requiring a higher level of precision in spiritual power control, so further practice is needed.

As for "Nine Shadows Resurrection"...

Bai Yuan also did some exploration.

Although her true form is not a cat, when Bai Yuan put on the earrings, she could indeed feel an itch in her tailbone, and several tail-shaped shadows appeared in the shadows under her feet, which could sway gently according to her wishes.

However, the effect of "replacing life" is difficult to try.

After all, Bai Yuan couldn't just go find someone to hit him a few times just for this. Considering that [Galaxy Fantasy Veil], also from the Super Lucky Bag, could withstand a blow from a Spiritual Transformation Realm cultivator, even if [Life Shadow] was a little weaker, the difference wouldn't be that big.

Moreover.

[Life Shadow] and [Galaxy Fantasy Veil] can be stacked.

Add to that [Exquisite Dice] and [Netherworld Bone Flute]...

Bai Yuan was now fully capable of displaying the strength of a cultivator at the Spiritual Transformation Realm. If he encountered enemies like Shentu Jixue, Shao An, and Qing Lingzi again, he wouldn't be as embarrassed as he was before.

Even if an accident really happened, and we were ambushed from all sides like we were in Falling Star Valley...

She also has one last trump card to play.

——It’s what I drew from the second super-large lucky bag just now.

This thing might be even more powerful than the [Exquisite Dice]...

"Unfortunately, I don't know how to use the black coffin I brought back from Cangwu County. Ji Lingyun didn't tell me, and Blood Kite hasn't shown any interest in discussing it with me. I feel like it must be a very powerful magical weapon..."

"There's also the [Nine Cauldrons Mountain-Suppressing Seal] that I seized from the Qingxuan Sect. I haven't been able to use it or refine it, so it's been lying idle until now. Otherwise, I could have a few more trump cards..."

Bai Yuan remembered these two things.

However, as mentioned above, she has no way to use it for the time being and can only choose to put it aside for the time being.
