Chapter 204: Chapter 135: Deceit Dao Assembly

For a Guardian Beast Master, Talent is indeed very important.

But when one’s Talent doesn’t reach the level of a Celestial Destiny Seeker, emotional intelligence and interpersonal skills are sometimes more important than one’s Beastmaster Talent.

As an outstanding merchant managing a vast chamber of commerce, Fu Hongning had always believed this!

After seeing off Yan Han, You Weiwei, and the others, Zhong Yi stretched lazily.

After being held in a spiderweb in the same position for seven or eight hours, Zhong Yi felt sore all over.

Zhong Yi hadn’t checked on the Sun Wheel Thorns’ growth all day.

He planned to check on the Sun Wheel Thorns tomorrow because he had something very important to do tonight.

He was going to feed the Rule Deceit Embryo, which possessed the replication Rule, to Hong Ji.

He wanted to see if, after devouring the Rule Deceit Embryo, Hong Ji could do what he predicted.

To use Rule Authority Equivalent Replication to replicate absorbed materials.

When Zhong Yi went to the next room to look for Hong Ji, she wasn’t devouring various Demon carcasses in her usual flashy manner.

As soon as Zhong Yi entered her room, he saw Hong Ji practicing her smile in front of a mirror.

She elegantly shouldered a Horned Demon’s leg bone and, like a noble lady eating a bird’s nest, slurped the greasy, foul-smelling marrow from within.

Upon seeing Zhong Yi, Hong Ji immediately came over to him, still shouldering the Horned Demon leg bone, and asked with a voice full of expectation,

"Master, do you think anyone would watch if I became a mukbanger?"

"Juanjuan said you can make a lot of money from mukbangs. I can support myself with the money I earn in the future!"

As she said this, her eyes sparkled, clearly seeking Zhong Yi’s approval.

Hong Ji’s body had a limit to how much material it could devour.

As a Mortal Beast Tier, Silver Quality Guardian Beast, Hong Ji was now basically unable to perform Material Absorption on new materials without replacing old ones.

’Letting Hong Ji do something she’s interested in would save Big Bell from being tormented by her in the kitchen every day.’

Zhong Yi wasn’t part of the target audience for mukbangs.

Even with the booming live streaming industry in his previous life, Zhong Yi had rarely watched any mukbangs.

Looking at the entire mukbang scene in the Xin Xia Federation, probably no one else would suck the marrow straight from a Horned Demon’s bone.

When it came to bizarre food mukbangs, Hong Ji would definitely be number one!

"Someone will definitely watch. When you stream, you can be even bolder, as long as you don’t break any rules."

"You might find that even more people will enjoy it."

With that, Zhong Yi took out the Rule Deceit Embryo from his Storage Pouch—the very one coveted by countless Deceit Holders.

"Hong Ji, absorb this Rule Deceit Embryo as a material."

The moment she saw the Rule Deceit Embryo shimmering with multicolored light in Zhong Yi’s hand, Hong Ji immediately lost interest in the Horned Demon leg bone she was holding.

Hong Ji could sense the benefits this Rule Deceit Embryo held for her.

It contained a type of power she had once sensed from the Resurrection Celestial Lord.

’As long as I absorb this ball of flesh, I’ll be able to control that power too!’

The higher the level of the material, the slower Hong Ji absorbed it.

Absorbing this Rule Deceit Embryo took her nearly four full hours to complete.

Before Hong Ji began absorbing the Rule Deceit Embryo, Zhong Yi summoned the Hundred-Eyed Moon Demon and released Qin Ruyue.

He specifically asked Qin Ruyue if there was anything to be aware of when absorbing a Rule Deceit Embryo.

The instant Qin Ruyue saw Hong Ji, she did indeed sense the Bizarre aura of the Flesh and Blood Element from her.

But this girl, who looked so much like Zhong Yi, couldn’t possibly be a Bizarre creature.

Because Qin Ruyue couldn’t sense the Energy Core that all Bizarre creatures possessed within Hong Ji’s body.

’To have a Guardian Beast that isn’t even a Bizarre creature devour a Rule Deceit Embryo... only Zhong Yi would come up with something like this.’

A Rule Deceit Embryo contained a dense amount of Mysterious Power.

A Rule Deceit Embryo could be described as the posthumous creation of a Deceit Beast that had devoured an Order Beast to obtain the Power of Rules.

If an ordinary Guardian Beast were to swallow it, it would either have its body corrupted by the Mysterious Power, mutate, and die,

or it would most likely waste the Rule Deceit Embryo entirely.

Sensing that Qin Ruyue wanted to stop Zhong Yi and didn’t want him to give her the Rule Deceit Embryo,

Hong Ji immediately began to absorb the Rule Deceit Embryo in her hands.

As the Rule Deceit Embryo was swallowed into her body, a unique energy fluctuation immediately appeared around Hong Ji.

After a long while, Qin Ruyue discovered that not only was Hong Ji unaffected,

but the Energy within the Rule Deceit Embryo was actually beginning to fuse with her.

When Qin Ruyue had devoured the Rule Deceit Embryo with the Mysterious Night Rule, it was because her Night-Cutting Spider was highly compatible with it.

And even then, it had taken her just under five days.

’If Shi Mi wanted to absorb this Rule Deceit Embryo, it would take at least a week.’

’If he could have been as fast as this Human-shaped Guardian Beast before me, Shi Mi would have long since taken the time to absorb the Rule Deceit Embryo while I was chasing him.’

Today was, without a doubt, the most tumultuous day of Qin Ruyue’s life.

She had gone from a fugitive to a hostage-taker, and finally, to a prisoner.

From a free person to a Servant whose very life was held in another’s hands.

Now, Qin Ruyue’s worldview was collapsing all over again!

Because Hong Ji had actually managed to completely absorb the Rule Deceit Embryo in under four hours and had even successfully mastered the Power of Rules contained within it.

’I spent all that time trying to persuade Zhong Yi, and the reality turned out to be the complete opposite of what I said.’
