Chapter 657 Demoness Zexi
This Astral Demon casually looked down on Cain and said, “Refer to me as general Wen. Hurry it up and get to mining at this section.”
The Tao siblings didn’t need any prompting as they quickly scurried along to their mining section.
Cain silently followed general Wen’s direction, picked up the dingy pickaxe near his feet, and got straight down to work.
Up close, Cain suddenly detected something strange from these divine purply crystals. A faint, yet noticeable calling stirred in his blood and soul.
Without any change in expression, Cain chopped down his dingy pickaxe at a random purple crystal. The moment it connected, the mystical energy from the divine purple crystal directly flowed into Cain’s body.
Cain expected something. A fierce burning pain. Terrifying cold. Or even a jolt of painful electricity.
However, no pain had actually come to him!
Scratch feeling even the slightest bit of pain. The energy from the divine purple crystal actually felt a bit good?
The principles within the energy did something beyond his expectations. It silently absorbed into chaos principles injuries, gradually increasing its healing process!
Many ideas streak through Cain’s mind like a violent thunderstorm. He kept his expression indifferent, but questions ran at a mile per minute.
‘The hell is this divine crystal? Why is it healing me? And in this way, as long as I suppress my divine aura, nobody will even know about it. Is this just great luck? Or something else?’
No matter what Cain thought, he wouldn’t get any answer from brewing in his mind. For now, he simply decided to follow the most straightforward thought.
Continuously mining these divine purple crystals and increasing the rate of his healing. The faster he was back at peak performance, the better.
Time quickly flew by.
Cain had entered into a monotonous state. Wails of anguish continually slithered into his ears, but he had ignored it all.
His determination stayed still in healing his injuries.
As the hours went by, general Wen inevitably placed his attention on Cain. He didn’t perform any differently from the others in terms of mining the crystals.
But what was strange was the fact he never once made a single slip-up. That calm expression didn’t twitch for even a second.
Such calmness annoyed general Wen. A cruel light glittered in his eyes. He was about to imposingly walk over when another Divine Ruler presence appeared by his side.
A cute giggle filled with divine laws to swoon souls reverberated.
“Hehe~. General Wen? It seems you have some kind of personal vendetta against that cutie over there?” The one with a soothing, hypnotic voice came from a seductive, beautiful demoness.
Her eyes glittered with gleaming divine lights. The enchanting smile gracing her lips could drown out the light from the sun. The way she so confidently stood, showcasing her curvaceous, seductive body would light the flames of desire in any man or woman’s soul.
Even general Wen couldn’t stare straight at her. He crossed his arms, coldly saying, “Zexi. Just wanted to teach this brat how things are around here. Calm little shits like him truly think their plans can get them out of any situation.”
“Hehe~!” Zexi cheerfully giggled once again. Her divine presence expanded, faintly engulfing Cain.
Cain had no choice but to turn over and look as the spotlight was on him. Though, his expression still didn’t change even when gazing upon Zexi’s soul-stunning figure.
Zexi’s eyes glittered even more. “Heh, I really like this fellow! General Wen, I advise you to not hurt a hair on his body. I want to see him this night.”
A strange expression instantly colored general Wen’s face. He blinked, unsure if he had heard Zexi’s right. His eyes looked over, expecting to see a teasing expression, but Zexi’s expression was completely serious.
Though it confused him, general Wen didn’t bother with finding trouble with Cain anymore. He coldly snorted, saying, “Whatever.”
“Good!” Zexi brilliantly smiled. She winked at Cain and tossed over a small scroll. “I’m expecting to see you here tonight, cutie. Don’t work too hard now.”
And with that, Zexi quickly left the mining cave.
General Wen was bewildered but simply decided to not think too hard about Zexi’s strange actions.
Even Cain was a bit put off guard. His current appearance is his handsome, original form. With looks that can make any mortal realm cultivator swoon to their knees.
But this was a Divine Ruler in discussion. A divine expert with a tremendously tough divine will.
Most of the time, divine cultivators become enamored with one’s presence, aura, attitude, strength, and then looks.
πΈπ±πxt.ππt
Cain was suppressing his Divine Aura. He seriously didn’t think Zexi called out him for only his looks or strength.
Something else may be at play.
But Cain also knows speculating right now will not lead him to any valid answer. Thus, he continues to pour his all into mining the purple crystal and strengthening his healing process.
…
The day slowly dragged by.
After endless, grueling work, Cain and the Tao siblings were finally back inside their dingy house.
They all were resting for a small moment before needing to get back down to cold business.
But at this time, Tao Mi and Tao Pang had slightly envious expressions while staring at Cain.
Tao Mi eagerly said, “How lucky are you, brother Cain. To be called in by general Zexi! She typically, well, only calls in women. And the women she calls in live noticeably better lives than anyone else. You are…huh. You are the only man she had ever called in!”
“Really, just how can your luck be so good?” Tao Pang tried to calmly speak, though his tone was laced with envy.
“Is that right?” Cain was still calm throughout the entire process.
He wouldn’t be fooled by the seemingly glorious lights. He’s not on the brink of despair to clutch onto any warm light. Nor would he think his luck is so outstandingly great to get him laid by a Divine Ruler within a slave camp.
This is the world of brutal cultivation. Tricks and deception are always around the corner.
Still, nothing would get done from sitting around and talking about it.
Cain traded some last words with the Tao siblings before quickly departing.
Stepping outside of his dingy house, the scroll Zexi gave him suddenly illumined with beautiful divine lights.
Gleams of law lights shrouded over Cain’s body. His presence was both untraceable to other Astral Demons and instantly noticeable by Zexi.
Cain was internally impressed. This way, he’ll be shielded from wandering off on his own within the slave camp. But he also can’t make a getaway, as Zexi knows exactly where his position is.
Though Cain had zero intentions of running in the first place.
His divine steps quickly tore him through the skies. He passed by several Astral Demons.
All Astral Demons who took a glance at Cain held overwhelming disdain in their eyes. But none of them attempted anything due to Zexi’s divine law lights.
It only took Cain a few minutes to reach Zexi’s relatively better-constructed house. Runes of law glittered all across. A far superior atmosphere of source laws exuded out, beneficial to all cultivators coming close by.
Cain didn’t even have to come close. The front door opened on its own.
Staying calm, Cain unhesitatingly stepped inside Zexi’s house.
