Unfortunately, his bad luck didn’t end there. After escaping from the array, he found a cliff where spiritual qi was excellent to cultivate for a couple of days, so his injuries finally became a little better. Just as he was about to try and comprehend the power within his bloodline, he found that under the terrifying strength of the array, his originally awakened bloodline had actually once again fallen into deep silence.
That was the demon emperor bloodline that countless monster beasts dreamt of obtaining! If he had never awakened it then it wasn’t a big deal, but he had just gotten a taste of such immense power when it disappeared from his grasp. It was like a starving beggar who had suddenly found ten thousand gold taels, and was just wondering whether to have shark’s fin soup or bird’s nest first but before he could even buy a mantou, he lost all the money. Who could withstand this kind of a blow? It was like falling from heaven into hell!
Either way, ever since he was molested by Ling Chuxi, Zhen Ye who had been plagued by bad luck was frustrated and unhappy. In a fit of anger, he tried to forcefully awaken the demon emperor bloodline, but he became diverted on his cultivation path and was once again severely injured.
This time, his injuries were even more serious than the previous times, and he did not even have the energy to walk. He could only obediently lie on the ground and await death.
“Hey, little thing, why are you here? I know you are not a squirrel, so don’t glare at me anymore. What kind of a monster beast are you though?” Ling Chuxi scooped up Zhen Ye and after touching him, her expression changed a little. “Little thing, why is it that every time I see you, you are so badly injured?” Ling Chuxi sighed and dug out a porcelain bottle. She took out a couple of medicinal pills and stuffed them into Zhen Ye’s mouth without any warning.
‘Witch! This young master will not accept these—ah, but this pill smells quite good though…’ The future demon emperor objected at first, but eventually spinelessly opened his mouth to swallow the pills Ling Chuxi gave him. After swallowing them, the fiery pain in his organs lessened and eventually disappeared.
‘Forget it. Ling Chuxi, you rascal, this young master shall reluctantly forgive your previous insolence towards me. However, when this young master recovers, I still will settle the score with you. Just you wait!’ The proud young master was muttering objections in his heart for a very long time, but they were all unheard by Ling Chuxi.
“Alright, follow me back.” Ling Chuxi hugged Zhen Ye and caressed his glossy red fur as she giggled. “I shall give you a name. What about Little Red? What do you think? It’s very suave and cool, isn’t it?”
The future Lord Demon Emperor almost choked. ‘Little Red? Little Red?! She actually gave me such a tacky, idiotic name! Ling Chuxi, I’ll kill you!’
Zhen Ye flailed and struggled in her grip, wanting to get free so he could claw her.
“Haha! You like the name that much, huh?” How could Ling Chuxi not tell that the little fellow really disliked this name? However, she purposely said the opposite to tease him. She could not tell what kind of monster beast the little fellow was, but Ling Chuxi knew that it was no simple creature. It could understand her words, and she had seen this little thing before, near Little Silver Ancient Mountain. That meant it had actually traveled all the way to the Sacred Realm of Sects. It was definitely no ordinary monster beast.
If Huangfu Qingjue was here, he would also sigh. Ling Chuxi’s naming standards were truly horrible.
As for Ling Chuxi, she wasn’t bothered about Zhen Ye’s objections as she hugged him tightly. “Little Red, don’t fuss anymore. Follow me home, your injuries haven’t recovered yet.”
