Chapter 1332: Heart Rot Poison

Chu Linfeng looked at Meng Ji and asked, “Why would the Yin Yang Demon Emperor, a genderless creature, be interested in women? I’m confused by you. How did you become a soul body?”

“The Yin Yang Demon Emperor is a complete pervert. He can transform into a man or a woman. When he’s a man, no one can be more handsome than him. When he’s a woman, if someone is more beautiful than him, he will find a way to kill them or possess their body. And perhaps because I was prettier than him when he turned into a woman, that I was possessed. As for why he wanted to be with me like that, perhaps he also has a man’s side that needed some kind of release!” Meng Ji explained.

Chu Linfeng grew more confused the more he listened, but the matter had passed, and it was useless to dwell on it. “Xuan’Er, I’ll never let you suffer again in the future. It’s all my fault for not being able to protect you. You don’t blame me, do you?”

“Silly, why would I blame you? This is fate; it’s the tribulation in my destiny. But I believe this tribulation can be overcome because I have a husband who loves me, a husband with great power. Now, talking to you makes me feel very weak, so I might as well stay back in the porcelain bottle and wait to come out when you return to the Immortal Realm.” Meng Ji said.

“Alright, it won’t be too long. Xuan’Er, I will definitely bring you back to life. Lin’er is waiting for you!” Chu Linfeng said.

Meng Ji’s residual soul quickly re-entered the porcelain bottle. After Chu Linfeng put the cork back on, he placed it into the storage ring. Thinking about the suffering Meng Ji endured in the Demon Realm made him feel quite remorseful. He had a carefree life in the Immortal Realm, yet she could only be described in one word: miserable!

“What are you thinking about, so engrossed?” The voice of Fairy Lingxiao came from the cave entrance, and soon she and the Jade Immortal Emperor entered the cave, both holding several wild chickens in their hands, their harvest being quite good.

“Our task is complete. Now it’s your turn! It’s been a long time since I had a barbecue, so let’s see what delicious dishes our husband will make for us this time.” Fairy Lingxiao laughed.

“I’ll go gather some firewood. We were so focused on hunting wild chickens that I forgot about this. You two talk slowly!” The Jade Immortal Emperor turned and left again.

Chu Linfeng skillfully slaughtered the chickens, plucked the feathers, removed the innards, and used water transformation to clean them. Fairy Lingxiao was stunned by his skills, admiring Chu Linfeng’s excellence from the bottom of her heart.

Not long after, the Jade Immortal Emperor returned, and Chu Linfeng started the barbecue. His skilled technique soon filled the cave with the aroma of roasted meat, and naturally, it was time to enjoy the feast.

“Lin Feng, you should head back to the Ten Thousand Demon Cave. If any emergencies arise, you can be prepared. The soul mushrooms cannot be lost. Jade and I will join you as soon as we can.” Fairy Lingxiao said.

The Jade Immortal Emperor nodded, agreeing with Fairy Lingxiao, “Gentleman, if there’s anything unusual, contact us. Lingxiao and I will rush over in time. Here’s a communication jade pendant for you.” She finished, revealing a green jade in her hand.

Chu Linfeng was curious about the jade in the Jade Immortal Emperor’s hand. He distinctly remembered when he restored her body, she had nothing, and where this jade and her sword came from remained a mystery. However, he felt embarrassed to ask her.

Accepting the jade, Chu Linfeng said, “Alright, should I face any difficulties, I’ll inform you. You two should stay here to rest and recuperate. I’ll be heading off now!”

Having said that, Chu Linfeng left the cave, and with a flash of his figure, he used instant teleportation to quickly appear at the entrance of the Ten Thousand Demon Cave. He immediately used light transformation to hide his body, then broke the restriction on the entrance to enter the cave.

The inside of the Ten Thousand Demon Cave was almost the same as when he first entered; bones and residual souls were everywhere. It wasn’t long before Chu Linfeng reached the location of the soul mushrooms, though he stood quite a distance away, about ten meters from them.

This was mainly because the purple Skeleton King was standing right in front of the soul mushrooms, holding a bone sword in his hand. The bone sword radiated intense murderous intent, clearly not an ordinary item.

“Yin Yang Demon Emperor, if you dare come to seize my soul mushrooms this time, I will destroy you! You would never dream that I used Heart Rot Poison around these soul mushrooms. Even if you are powerful, you would not be my match if you fall to it. This Heart Rot Poison took me ten thousand years to collect from skeletons, and I’m using it all this time.” The Skeleton King said.

Upon hearing this, Chu Linfeng was shocked. He didn’t understand what kind of poison the Heart Rot Poison was, but he could be sure that its toxicity was extremely potent. A poison gathered over ten thousand years was terrifying indeed.

However, the Skeleton King was also foolish enough to reveal this secret at this time. Had he not come here, he wouldn’t have known, and might surely have fallen to the Heart Rot Poison. It seemed that Lingxiao sending him here was indeed the right decision.

Chu Linfeng cautiously spread out his divine sense to observe the surroundings, primarily to determine the exact location of the Heart Rot Poison and how to avoid it.

His first thought was to use earth transformation to sneak underground and quietly take away the soul mushrooms without being noticed, but he found that this method was ineffective. He felt his divine sense being quickly devoured as it entered the soil beneath or even above ground.

This meant that the primary characteristic of the Heart Rot Poison was devouring, or perhaps corrosion. A poison capable of corroding even divine sense was terrifying. Just thinking about it sent chills down Chu Linfeng’s spine.

At this moment, the Skeleton King pulled out a black porcelain bottle, “There’s just a little bit of Heart Rot Poison left. I originally intended to use it to dominate the Demon Realm, but I’m using it against that perverted Yin Yang Demon Emperor now. Although a pity, it’s still worth it. Once I kill the Yin Yang Demon Emperor, no one in the Demon Realm will be my match.”

The Skeleton King muttered to himself, but Chu Linfeng’s heart was set on acquiring the Heart Rot Poison. This poison that can corrode even divine sense would be formidable in the Divine Realm, possibly saving his life in a critical moment.

The Skeleton King quickly put the porcelain bottle away, and Chu Linfeng noticed this creature didn’t have a storage ring, making it mysterious where it put the bottle.

Time passed, and ten days went by in the blink of an eye. After learning about the Heart Rot Poison around the soul mushrooms, Chu Linfeng no longer continued to investigate. Instead, he used earth transformation to hide himself in the soil. Continuous use of light transformation drained a lot of light element energy, so he preferred not to waste it frivolously.

“Hahaha! In a day, the soul mushrooms will mature. As long as I consume them, I will be the strongest in the Demon Realm. Yin Yang old monster, just wait to be slaughtered by me!” The Skeleton King declared…
