Chapter 45: Ruthless Ruyi, Demonic Dissolution
“Willow God?”
Ji Feng Xia stared at Liu Ru Yi in disbelief. She saw that her soul body was solidified, emitting an aura of sacred majesty, far more advanced than ordinary ghosts.
“Wind and Moon Illustrated Record?”
“What kind of treasure is this? It’s too powerful!”
Her gaze left Liu Ru Yi, and Ji Feng Xia looked at the majestic and sacred Wind and Moon Illustrated Record, her eyes filled with fervor.
“Master…”
She moved, wrapping her arms around Zhou Chen’s arm and shaking it continuously.
She wanted it too!
“Don’t worry, you’ll definitely get yours!”
A smooth and soft sensation came from his arm. Zhou Chen pinched Ji Feng Xia’s tender cheeks, giving her a reassuring smile.
Ji Feng Xia had worked hard during this time, doing everything he asked and more.
Zhou Chen naturally wouldn’t be stingy.
“Ji Feng Xia, hear my decree.”
“Your servant is listening!”
Ji Feng Xia was overjoyed and bowed with cupped hands.
“I bestow upon Ji Feng Xia the title of Phoenix God!”
Zhou Chen spoke with heavenly authority. As his words fell, the Wind and Moon Illustrated Record emitted a brilliant golden light once more.
A beam of golden light descended from the sky, enveloping Ji Feng Xia. Her aura instantly surged, and her original Qi Refinement, Fifth Level cultivation soared to the Qi Refinement, Seventh Level in a matter of moments.
The originally eerie and icy ghost Qi disappeared, replaced by a sacred and majestic aura like that of an immortal god. Her strength had increased significantly.
Ghosts feared righteous and yang techniques, but after being bestowed with godhood by Zhou Chen, they were no longer ghosts but gods.
Although they were still weak, their essence had transformed, and they would no longer fear righteous and yang techniques like thunder and fire.
They could even cultivate thunder and fire techniques.
“Not bad, not bad!”
Looking at the transformed Liu Ru Yi and Ji Feng Xia, Zhou Chen was very satisfied.
The temperament of the two women had improved significantly, making people want to pamper them.
“Didn’t I die?”
Liu Ru Yi slowly opened her eyes, feeling the powerful force within her body, filled with confusion.
“You did die!”
Zhou Chen came to Liu Ru Yi, lifted her delicate chin with his fingers, looked into her beautiful eyes, and said frankly:
“But your soul came to me, and after I bestowed godhood upon you, you can continue to exist and cultivate in another form!”
“Are you the hero?”
Liu Ru Yi looked at Zhou Chen. Although it was a question, she was very certain.
“Yes.”
Zhou Chen nodded.
“Why did you save me? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll expose your secret?”
Liu Ru Yi looked around. Although she didn’t know where she was, this place definitely hid Zhou Chen’s greatest secret.
Not to mention the Wind and Moon Illustrated Record, it was a supreme treasure she had never heard of, capable of bestowing godhood and instantly raising her cultivation to the Qi Refinement, Fourth Level.
One must know that Zhou Chen had been wary of her before, even wearing a mask during their intimate moments.
“Because you are my woman!”
Reaching out to embrace Liu Ru Yi’s soft waist, Zhou Chen pulled her into his arms, lowered his head to kiss her, looked into her eyes, and said directly:
“Is this reason enough?”
“Not enough!”
Liu Ru Yi didn’t mind Zhou Chen hugging and kissing her. They had done everything before, and more than once.
But she didn’t believe a word of what he said.
He had been wary of her before and hadn’t treated her as his woman at all. Was it possible that he had suddenly changed?
There must be a conspiracy!
“Because if your favorability towards me doesn’t reach a certain level, your soul wouldn’t be able to come here!”
Zhou Chen gently stroked her face:
“Is this reason enough?”
Liu Ru Yi fell silent.
She didn’t expect it to be like this.
Zhou Chen was also surprised that Liu Ru Yi’s favorability towards him was so high.
They had only met three times.
Each time they just…did it.
Could it be because he was Liu Ru Yi’s first and only man?
Or because of his outstanding…advantages?
“It must be this!”
Zhou Chen thought to himself.
Wasn’t Lao Ai able to conquer Empress Dowager Zhao Ji of the Qin Empire because of his special skill?
And he also had the…prowess of Lao Ai.
No.
Lao Ai was nothing compared to him.
“How did you die? Was it the Salt Gang?”
Collecting his thoughts, Zhou Chen asked about the important matter. Liu Ru Yi raised her head and looked at Zhou Chen:
“Yes! The cultivator you killed placed a blood curse on me before he died. I heard it’s called the Blood Weeping Curse.”
“The Salt Gang found me based on this.”
“This time, they sent Salt Gang Law Enforcement Elder Bai Gui Nong and a Body Refinement, Seventh Level elder, along with other subordinates at the Body Refinement, Fifth and Sixth Levels!”
“Bai Gui Nong is a famous expert in the entire Yun Meng Prefecture. His cultivation has reached the peak of the Body Refinement, Ninth Level, making him a top existence below the Divine Power Realm.”
Thinking of Bai Gui Nong, Liu Ru Yi’s eyes became serious, and she said solemnly:
“Fortunately, he didn’t make a move at that time, otherwise I’m afraid I wouldn’t even have the chance to commit suicide!”
“Actually, it was enough for the Body Refinement, Seventh Level elder to capture me alive, but they didn’t expect me to have cultivated a self-destructive Demonic Dissolution technique!”
“I knew that once I was captured alive, I would face horrific torture and punishment. Knowing that I couldn’t escape, I chose to self-destruct!”
“Unfortunately, my cultivation was too weak. Even if I self-destructed using the Demonic Dissolution technique, I couldn’t kill a Body Refinement, Seventh Level expert, let alone a Body Refinement, Ninth Level existence!”
“You were already very impressive!”
Zhou Chen had to admire this woman’s ruthlessness. Self-destruction was indeed a good choice. Not only could it prevent her body from being defiled, but it could also avoid being captured and humiliated.
One must know that the torture women faced when captured was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Even General Yuwen’s “line-up” was nothing compared to that.
The Iron Chair, the Wooden Donkey, rope torture, and various other cruel methods.
Each one could make people wish they were dead.
“Don’t worry, I will definitely avenge you!”
Zhou Chen promised.
Of course.
He wouldn’t recklessly confront the Salt Gang experts now.
With his current means, he could at most deal with the Body Refinement, Seventh Level elder. He was far from being a match for the Body Refinement, Ninth Level Law Enforcement Elder Bai Gui Nong.
“Thank you!”
Liu Ru Yi was touched. She could feel the sincerity in Zhou Chen’s words, not just casual words to deceive a girl.
“I buried the storage pouch of the cultivator you killed that day under a ginkgo tree three miles outside the city.”
Liu Ru Yi said: “At that time, I was worried that there might be tracking devices on the storage pouch, so I buried it on the spot and didn’t take it away. You can go and retrieve it when you have the chance!”
“I understand. I’ll go after a while when it’s safe.”
Zhou Chen nodded, not in a hurry.
He wasn’t lacking in cultivation techniques now, but he was lacking in time to accumulate Romance Points. He didn’t want to take risks.
Just like how Liu Ru Yi was cursed by Bai Ru Yun’s Blood Weeping Curse, if there was any mark on the storage pouch, Bai Gui Nong might be hiding in the dark, waiting for him to walk into a trap.
“Master!”
Ji Feng Xia’s transformation was complete. With an excited look on her face, she ran over and hugged Zhou Chen’s arm tightly.
“I won’t disturb you two anymore!”
Liu Ru Yi’s figure disappeared, turning into a stream of light and merging into the Wind and Moon Illustrated Record.
“Master, how did she get here?”
Ji Feng Xia was very curious.
She hadn’t seen Zhou Chen meet Liu Ru Yi, but Liu Ru Yi had suddenly appeared here.
“It’s just fate.”
Zhou Chen didn’t explain much, looking at Ji Feng Xia and saying:
“She will be your companion from now on. Get along well!”
“Yes, Master.”
Ji Feng Xia felt a little unhappy that her ‘territory’ had to be shared with another person, but there was nothing she could do.
“You go and comprehend the cultivation techniques in the Wind and Moon Illustrated Record first!”
“Okay, Master!”
Ji Feng Xia turned into a stream of light and entered the Wind and Moon Illustrated Record.
As a treasure condensed from the Wind and Moon Mirror, the Wind and Moon Illustrated Record had endless wonders. Not only could it bestow godhood, but it also contained cultivation methods.
Similar to the Battle God Illustrated Record in Huang Yi’s novels.
Zhou Chen looked up at the huge Wind and Moon Illustrated Record in the sky, reached out and grabbed it. It immediately shrank, turning into a scroll and falling into his palm.
Zhou Chen opened the Wind and Moon Illustrated Record. In addition to Liu Ru Yi and Ji Feng Xia’s names, their figures were also inside.
With a thought, reliefs appeared on the Wind and Moon Illustrated Record, containing the profound meaning of the origin of heaven, earth, and the universe.
Zhou Chen glanced at it and immediately closed the Wind and Moon Illustrated Record.
“I’ll comprehend it when I get home!”
Usually, he could multitask, his soul engaging in intimate activities with Ji Feng Xia in the Wind and Moon Mirror while a strand of his consciousness controlled his body to do other things.
But if he comprehended these reliefs, he might not be able to multitask.
His consciousness left the Wind and Moon Mirror. Zhou Chen glanced at the figures lying haphazardly beside him, didn’t disturb them, and quietly left.
After returning home, Zhou Chen said a word to Qin Hong Yu and went back to his room, lying on the bed, his soul entering the Wind and Moon Mirror to comprehend the Wind and Moon Illustrated Record.
Looking at those reliefs, Zhou Chen felt as if he had ascended to immortality, his consciousness wandering in a sea of countless lights and shadows. Countless thoughts surged into his mind, and he fell into a state of enlightenment.
