Chapter 642 - 203: Cat Knight Shen Bai

The blood-red Cold Moon trembled slightly, emitting waves of clear chimes. It looked like a pulsing cloud of blood mist; just a glance was enough to make one’s scalp tingle.

The trembling looked terrifying, but Shen Bai knew it was Red Makeup communicating with him through the Cold Moon.

"Master, I have not failed your expectations in this evolution. Let me show you my new abilities."

Streams of Information flowed into Shen Bai’s mind through the Cold Moon’s vibrations.

Once Shen Bai had absorbed all the Information, he had a general understanding of Red Makeup’s second evolution.

’This second evolution is quite good,’ Shen Bai thought to himself.

The first evolution had granted a twofold boost to Sword Techniques.

This second evolution brought a threefold boost.

Now, the attack power of Shen Bai’s Soul-Annihilating Sword had far surpassed his Vajra Dharma Form Fist, taking the top spot.

It could now be called the most powerful of all his offensive Divine Powers.

With a casual swing of his sword, Shen Bai could now slay a peak Void Realm cultivator.

He felt that if he were to face Zhu Xueshuang again, with his current strength, he could make her flee in disarray in much less time than before.

The second evolution didn’t just bring one ability, but two.

Besides the threefold boost to sword-type Divine Powers, the Cold Moon itself had also changed.

Shen Bai circulated the Qi in his body and gave the Cold Moon in his hand a shake.

When he shook the Cold Moon, Blood Red Sword Qi emerged.

This time, the Blood Red Sword Qi had a new quality.

Before, the Blood Red Sword Qi was a layer of pure red.

Now, while still pure red, there was a layer of deep crimson within the Blood Red Sword Qi.

A second Sword Qi was Hidden within the first, creating a double-layered Sword Qi.

Now, for Shen Bai, one stream of Sword Qi could be used as two, undoubtedly giving the Soul-Annihilating Sword another boost.

Imagine it: tens of thousands of streams of Sword Qi appearing in mid-air, each one concealing a second. The astonishing destructive power would strike fear into anyone’s heart.

"Not bad."

Shen Bai stood inside the Space of his Life and Death Storage Skill, a trace of delight on his face.

This time, Red Makeup’s evolution had truly given Shen Bai a huge, pleasant surprise.

With this boost, Shen Bai felt much more confident about his upcoming trip to Lingyun Dao.

A flash of light appeared, and Red Makeup materialized in the Space of the Life and Death Storage Skill, still completely naked.

She hugged Shen Bai, pressing her fair body against his chest and rubbing gently.

"Master, I have not failed your expectations. From now on, I will grow even stronger to help you reach the pinnacle," Red Makeup said softly.

Shen Bai froze.

He looked down at Red Makeup’s exquisitely beautiful, fair face, and her... indescribable peaks.

Red Makeup wasn’t shy. She raised her head to meet Shen Bai’s gaze, her eyes shimmering like autumn pools.

A restless heat stirred within Shen Bai.

Even Liu Xiahui probably wouldn’t have been able to remain unperturbed with a beauty in his lap in this situation.

Shen Bai wrapped his arm around Red Makeup’s waist, took a deep breath, and said, "You’re playing with fire."

How could he not see what Red Makeup was thinking?

She could conjure up clothes to wear at any moment, yet she deliberately chose not to, and was now putting on such a show for him.

Red Makeup pursed her lips and smiled. "My body, my heart, my everything—it all belongs to you, Master. If I’m playing with fire, I’m the one who will get burned. I know that."

The corners of Shen Bai’s mouth lifted slightly. He suddenly swept Red Makeup up into a princess carry, brazenly admiring the fair skin before him.

This time, Red Makeup grew a little shy. She lowered her head, her face flushing crimson.

The clothing on Shen Bai’s body began to disappear.

Then, Shen Bai began to scale her peaks and explore her depths.

’I’m not some eunuch protagonist from a storybook,’ Shen Bai thought.

If any normal man could control himself in a situation like this, Shen Bai would give him a thumbs-up, then curse him for being worse than a beast.

Behind him, a flash of light appeared. Amber landed behind Shen Bai, her emerald-green eyes filled with a hint of impulse.

"You too!"

Shen Bai grabbed Amber and, amidst her startled cry, pulled her to his side.

Inside the Space of the Life and Death Storage Skill, Shen Bai continued to scale the peaks...

...

「A long time later.」

A rift appeared in the inn room.

Shen Bai, fully dressed, stepped out from it with Red Makeup and Amber.

"Not only have I become a Deceitful Beast Knight, but now I’m a Cat Knight too." Shen Bai’s lips twitched.

Red Makeup and Amber flanked him on his left and right, faint blushes still on their faces.

Deceitful Beasts have excellent physical constitutions; they had long since recovered from any slight pain.

"We need to get on the road," Shen Bai said.

Indulging in beautiful women was fine, but becoming addicted to them was not.

He still had to get to Lingyun Dao; there were important matters to attend to.

Amber and Red Makeup also knew that Shen Bai had urgent business, so they didn’t press the matter.

Then, the two of them turned into flashes of light. One merged into Shen Bai’s body, while the other merged into the Cold Moon.

Shen Bai straightened his clothes, then turned and walked outside.

...

Along the way, he had a meal with Qin Shuang. After she saw him off, Shen Bai left Xuanjing City.

Standing in the wilderness, Shen Bai didn’t hesitate. He used Divine Thousand Miles and, in an instant, transformed into a streak of light that shot into the sky, heading toward Lingyun Dao.

Back in Xuanjing City, Eunuch Chen seemed to sense something and took a drink of strong liquor.

"On this journey, Shen Bai will truly soar like a dragon across the world."

The General Department sat beside him and said, "We should get to our own business as well. I didn’t expect the Dean to uncover so many problems on this trip."
