--- Chapter 142 ---

The next day, Yunlong gradually opened his eyes and looked at his room ceiling with a relaxed gaze.

"Good morning, I guess?" Yunlong released a sigh because he couldn't but think about what happened to his big sister the whole night.

Yunlong couldn't find the explanation for it right away, but he already has several assumptions in his head.

'I have to confirm a few things first.' Yunlong thought while lifting his body off the bed.

He slowly walked toward the window and opened it, revealing warm morning sunlight.

Yunlong sensed the warm sunlight contacting his skin and felt the sun flame in his body react joyfully, which caused him to smirk a little.

"Burn..." He silently whispered.

A bright golden flame instantly blazed from thin air, burning intensely but didn't set anything on fire because Yunlong controlled it to match sunlight temperature.

'Warm...' Yunlong calmly thought while looking at the floating golden flame in front of him.

He calmly closed his eyes and sensed the surroundings, noticing his senses have improved a lot after training over the years.

Not only could he sense anything around a quarter kilometer, but he also perceives each detail of the area. Even a light presence of a silkworm in Dugu Bo's garden couldn't escape him.

"This is good, hmm?" Yunlong suddenly frowned and hurriedly opened his eyes, looking in the direction of the forest.

--- Sunset Forest ---

Bai Xue walked outside of Dugu Bo's garden and searched for a particular fungus around the inner skirt of the sunset forest because it probably would perfect her creation.

"Mhm, According to the book, It should be around here." Bai Xue looked around for a moment and noticed a towering white umbrella-shaped mushroom.

"Weird..." She muttered because this mushroom didn't release any scent or have any exceptional features, which caused her to frown a little.

Crack!

The ground suddenly shook violently, and the mushroom moved like it had an intellect, which caught Bai Xue off guard.

"Tch. It's a spirit beast." Bai Xue called her martial soul but noticed thick roots have already entangled her legs and arms.

Bai Xue struggled a little and angered because this happened because she let her guard down.

'Thank god that rat wasn't here because she would laugh her ass off at me!' She thought while clenching her fist in annoyance.

Twitch!

"Hah... Don't joke on me!" Bai Xue's body suddenly flared with a yellow flame, and her eyes shone with bright golden lights.

Boom!

The broom materialized in Bai Xue's hand, and she indifferently looked at the mushroom spirit beast.

"Explosion..." Bai Xue coldly whispered like she was giving a death verdict.

BOOM!!

The area around Bai Xue burned into ashes, and she released a heavy breath because being annoyed like that somehow caused her to use too much spirit energy.

"At least I felt better now." Bai Xue commented while looking at the charred mushroom.

Kacha! Crack! Boom!

But, many thick roots suddenly emerged and covered the entire area, which caused Bai Xue's eyes to widen because that attack should have killed this spirit beast.

Bai Xue closed her eyes to gain her focus and was about to prepare for another attack. However, a familiar hand suddenly grasped her hand.

"Calm down..." Yunlong's soothing voice entered Bai Xue's ears, and she hurriedly opened her eyes.

"Y-Young master..?!" Bai Xue was shocked for a moment and then realized the situation they were in right now.

Yunlong patted her head gently and casually looked at the roots with an amused look on his face. "You didn't kill the main body. That's why it was still alive." He commented.

"The main body?" Bai Xue tilted her head in confusion.

"Mm," Yunlong nodded his head and casually stomped his leg to the ground, causing a slight tremor in the area.

Bam!

A white spearhead made of a strand of Yunlong's handkerchief burst out of the ground with a pierced green gem, which immediately released a black spirit ring.

"10,000 years old spirit beast..." Bai Xue covered her mouth in surprise.

[You have killed a thousand hearts mushroom]

[Mortal Sin: Gluttony activated]

[You have devoured a thousand hearts mushroom's soul and spiritual energy]

[You have gained additional passive skill, Fake Death]

Yunlong's eyes shone a little with crimson light, and hunger in his stomach immediately disappeared. 'Not bad...' He thought.

"Young master, that gem." Bai Xue suddenly said while pointing her finger at the pierced green gem.

Yunlong swung his hand a little, and the spearhead flicked the gem toward them, which Bai Xue caught her hands.

'The last ingredient, emerald heart.' Bai Xue looked at the green gem in her hand with brightened eyes.

'If I had this, my perfect pill...' She quietly continued with a flaming desire.

However, remembering the fact that Yunlong killed it and not her, Bai Xue becomes hesitant.

"You can have it." Yunlong suddenly said with a smile on his face.

"R-Really!" Bai Xue responded with a surprised expression, but Yunlong only chuckled and shook his head a little.

"Mm, I don't have any use of it, and you have been perfecting your pill, so this gem is important, right?" Yunlong answered while taking Bai Xue's hand and slightly firmed her hold onto the green gem.

"Yes..." Bai Xue smiled beautifully.

"Well, let's go back. We are about to attend the auction." Yunlong calmly stated while patting Bai Xue's head, and she eagerly nodded her head.

They went back and prepared to go, which took roughly about an hour because Yunlong prepared another disguise for himself.

Yunlong wore a casual loose white robe and glasses, which changed his eye color to blue because of the illusion.

The usual calm aura around him has wholly changed and become more humble, or more precisely composed like an educated scholar.

'I want to see my big sister's surprised face.' Yunlong naturally thought while looking at the mirror in front of him.

'I bet she would be shocked.' He smirked a little.

Yunlong walked toward the first floor and saw his maids wore veils to cover their faces.

"Let's go to the auction." Yunlong gently smiled.
