Recruit demons to become heroes, hunt demons to become gods

Chapter 271 Spring Arrives and Luo Daling's Transformation
The two women didn't want to eat Dou Eqing, but rather the sixth-order Heavenly Origin Liquid was too tempting for them.

If Dou Eqing hadn't subconsciously stopped the two women through the Demon Slave Seal Contract, the drop of Heavenly Origin Liquid that was meant for Luo Dayou would have been snatched away by Zhou Zhixiu and the other woman.

This snatching would not only ruin Dou Eqing's plans, but Zhou Zhixiu and Luo Daling might also fight over a single drop of Tianyuan Liquid.

Dou Eqing naturally understood what the two women were thinking, and quickly said:
“As you have all seen, I have already given him that treasure. To obtain such a treasure is a stroke of luck from heaven. I have none left, and I swear an oath.”

He looked so sincere that Zhou Zhixiu and the other woman couldn't believe him, and they couldn't do anything about it, since both of them had the Demon Slave Mark on their bodies.

However, if force doesn't work, try a softer approach.

In particular, Luo Dayou's words when he left—"Help me get them all pregnant"—inspired Luo Dalinling.

Actually, Luo Dayou said this mainly to Zhou Zhixiu.

In Luo Dayou's heart, it was wrong of Zhou Zhixiu, who was now his Daoist partner, to have stood by and done nothing.

Even with Luo Daling's intervention, she shouldn't have remained indifferent while Dou Eqing bullied her; she should at least have verbally stopped Dou Eqing.

Luo Dayou was completely fooled by Dou Eqing because of Tianyuan Liquid, but the truth was that he was just pretending.

He was already at a disadvantage, and with the Heavenly Origin Liquid, such a precious treasure, in his possession from Dou Eqing, he had no choice but to play dumb and satisfy Dou Eqing to get his hands on the Heavenly Origin Liquid.

His words, “Help me get them both pregnant,” were his retort to Zhou Zhixiu and the other woman before he left.

The two women were already at odds, and this statement was tantamount to inciting them to "compete for favor" with Dou Eqing, which was in fact a humiliation of women by men.

While Zhou Zhixiu was still bothered by Luo Dayou's subtle humiliation, Luo Daling, who had already given herself to him, suddenly came up with a plan because of the Tianyuan Liquid and her awkwardness with Zhou Zhixiu.

"Dou Lang, let's go, let's make a baby for the Luo family!"

Luo Daling vanished from the rooftop in a flash, reappearing in Dou Eqing's arms.

She tilted her head back and asked Dou Eqing for a kiss, but her attention was drawn to Zhou Zhixiu on the roof of the attic.

At the same time, she removed one corner of the protective array around Ya Yuan.

All of her actions were observed by Zhou Zhixiu, which made Zhou Zhixiu extremely ashamed and indignant.

"cheap!"

Zhou Zhixiu uttered the word "cheap" and then instantly teleported away from the place.

No sooner had she left than Dou Eqing, unable to resist the allure of her beauty, involuntarily lowered his head to comply with her demands.

Although the two engaged in the most intimate dual cultivation for three days, this was the first time they had shared such a passionate and tender kiss.

After all, their previous dual cultivation was instinctive, lacking the involvement of subjective consciousness, which was equivalent to two drunkards having a spring dream.

Now that both of them are fully conscious, their feelings are naturally different.

Dual cultivation may stem from pleasure, while kissing can arouse lust.

Especially after having experienced the bliss of sensual pleasure, when this desire is in progress, the thought of pleasure immediately dances in the mind, gradually catalyzing the generation of sensual desire.

Thus, under the influence of the "gradual" approach, Luo Daling, whose body had been deprived of sex for a long time, gradually became intoxicated, like drinking fine wine, and took the initiative to pull Dou Eqing into the hot spring water.

How could I possibly refuse such an invitation from a beautiful woman?
Originally still preoccupied with Shi Hao's matter, Dou Eqing ultimately decided to prioritize satisfying Luo Daling's request.

Despite possessing the Demon Slave Mark, which allows him to command Roda Ling, only conquered women will be truly devoted to him, and only those who are wholeheartedly devoted to him will receive rich and satisfying rewards.

Therefore, Dou Eqing spared no effort and wholeheartedly used his dual cultivation technique.

Therefore, while cultivating with Luo Daling, he also taught her the "Yin-Nourishing Yang Classic".

Because of the dual cultivation secret method in this scripture, Luo Daling's control over Dou Eqing can make her more satisfied, and even allow her to reach the pinnacle of bliss higher, faster, and easier.

What Dou Eqing didn't know was that this scripture was of a very high level among the intelligence gathered by the Blazing Flame Cave specifically for the Demon Hunter Sect.

The Blazing Flame Cave has gathered almost all the information about this scripture, but they still cannot obtain the complete cultivation method of the "Yin-Nourishing Yang Scripture".

Now that Luo Daling has easily received the instruction, in addition to being delighted, she has also deduced something else from it.

At this moment, based on the information obtained from the Blazing Flame Cave, the "Yin-Nourishing Scripture of Yang" is unique to Yu Fengxian. Unless it is her Daoist partner, no one else should know it.

Based on this, Luo Daling suspected that Dou Eqing had pushed Yu Fengxian down, or that he had become Yu Fengxian's sex slave.

"Oh, what a terrible cause and effect! No wonder I fell victim to it too."

Luo Daling sighed inwardly, resigning herself to her fate.

After all, with the Demon Slave Mark on him, he was no longer in control of his own destiny.

Dou Eqing had other plans in mind and wanted to get away from Luo Daling as quickly as possible.

But Luo Daling didn't know whether she had fallen in love with pleasure or was simply insatiable. No matter how hard Dou Eqing tried or how skilled he was in dual cultivation, she was still entangled for a full day and night.

Her body and mind were satisfied, but her desires were not. Luo Daling still longed for the sixth-tier Heavenly Origin Liquid that Luo Dayou had taken.

She said shyly to Dou Eqing:
"Considering my humble self-deprecation, shouldn't you, Dou Lang, show me your treasure? Don't tell me you don't have one."

Her self-deprecation refers to the shameful acts of the two people's dual cultivation techniques, and the various "tastes" were a first for her.

She also revealed that she had only given herself to Luo Dayou once.

After her first dual cultivation session with her Daoist partner, they were separated due to some matters, and then she discovered that she was pregnant with Rosie.

After having a daughter, Luo Dayou devoted all his heart and soul to her, which led him to quickly become involved with his fellow disciples. This caused a rift between them, and Luo Daling never allowed him to touch her again until Luo Dayou and Zhou Zhixiu became Daoist partners.

She revealed her private past, which involved her actions during a dual cultivation practice in order to please Dou Eqing.

In Luo Daling's later view, this was also a sign of self-degradation.

Dou Eqing wanted to leave, but Luo Daling used such subtle tactics to keep him there, making it impossible for him to refuse.

He had no choice but to exchange five levels of merit for nine drops of Heavenly Origin Liquid to give away.

"We don't have any sixth-tier ones, so we'll give you fifth-tier ones. If you have any Nascent Soul disciples, they might come in handy."

Luo Daling suddenly frowned, as if recalling something troubling him, and said with a bitter smile, "Speaking of disciples, there is indeed a troublesome matter."

Rosie's image flashed through her mind, and she clenched her fists involuntarily.

Seeing that he looked strange, Dou Eqing quickly asked, "What's troubling you?"

"It's all your fault!" Luo Daling's eyes suddenly turned red, and her voice choked with sobs. "If it weren't for you, how could Xixi have..." Before she could finish speaking, two lines of tears slid down her cheeks.

Seeing this, Dou Eqing hurriedly explained:
“Didn’t I already say? Her soul resides within the Soul Refining Evil Armor. Once my cultivation improves, I will definitely be able to help her be reborn. Right now, she’s merely cultivating in the form of an artifact spirit.” He then pressed further, “What exactly is the trouble?”

Luo Daling wiped away her tears and sighed deeply:
"The Luo family of the Demon-Suppressing Sect wished to form a marriage alliance with our clan. They originally favored Luo Qian, but that Zhou family member obstructed their plans. Later, the Grand Ancestor intervened, allowing members of the Luo family of the Demon-Suppressing Sect to try getting to know Qianqian. If they were mutually attracted, they would be betrothed; if not, the marriage would be called off."

He recounted the whole story in detail, missing his daughter as he spoke, his voice growing increasingly somber as he remembered her death.

His clenched fist trembled slightly, clearly showing the deep grief and indignation in his heart.

Although the Demon-Suppressing Sect and the Demon-Suppressing Dao Sect differ by only one word, "Dao," they are worlds apart.

The Demon-Suppressing Sect is merely a seventh-tier sect with a history of tens of thousands of years, while the Demon-Suppressing Dao Sect is a powerful eighth-tier sect that dominates a region...

Luo Daling recounted a long-ago story in detail.

It turns out that 100,000 years ago, the Luo family of the Demon-Suppressing Sect and the Luo family of the Blazing Flame Cave were originally from the same lineage.

Now that the Blazing Cave has a chance to advance to a seventh-tier power, the Luo family of the Demon Control Sect wants to break away from the sect and merge with the Luo family of the Blazing Cave.

Therefore, the Luo family of the Demon-Suppressing Sect specially sent a direct descendant, Luo Su, to form a marriage alliance with the Blazing Flame Cave.

Although Luo Su's cultivation level was not outstanding, he was extremely proud due to his background in a major sect. First, he was rejected by Luo Qian, and then he learned that the marriage arrangement would be decided by the female cultivators of the Blazing Flame Cave, which immediately aroused his pride.

He actually became a disciple of the Blazing Cave, determined to win over Rosie.

This behavior is just like those infatuated young men in folk tales who are willing to lower themselves to win a smile from their beloved.

It's just unclear whether this persistence stems from genuine affection or is driven by the conquering desires of a scion of a powerful family.

In the end, Rosie and Luo Su of the Demon Exorcism Sect failed to reach an agreement, but instead, she became Luo Daling's personal disciple.

Luo Su was originally from the Demon Extermination Sect, but now he has become Luo Daling's personal disciple.

This person's identity is special, serving as a bridge connecting the Luo family of the Demon-Suppressing Sect with the Blazing Flame Cave. Seeing his usefulness, the family naturally devoted all its efforts to cultivating him.

His cultivation has improved significantly, and he is only one step away from breaking through to the Void Refinement Realm.

Therefore, Luo Su was able to thrive in the Flames.

When Luo Daling and Dou Eqing talked about Luo Su, they couldn't help but recall some unpleasant past events.

She remembered being tricked by Luo Su into going to Qingluan Peak, a remote place in the Blazing Flame Cave.

Luo Su stood on the edge of the cliff, the mountain wind howling, making his dark robes flutter like ink.

"Master, you are wise and discerning; your disciple's loyalty to you is absolute."

He suddenly knelt on one knee in front of Luo Daling, deliberately making his voice low and mellow, but his eyes kept glancing at Luo Daling.

Luo Daling, dressed in pristine white, gently stroked the teacup with her jade-like hand, without even lifting her eyelids:
"Sincerity? Where are you looking with those eyes?"

Her voice wasn't loud, but it sent chills down Luo Su's spine.

Then, Luo Su blurted out all his thoughts about Luo Daling without really understanding what he was thinking.

It turns out that after Luo Dayou and Zhou Zhixiu became Daoist partners, Luo Su secretly began to plot against his master, Luo Daling.

Luo Daling initially thought Luo Su would be a decent son-in-law, but his despicable thoughts completely changed her opinion of him.

Luo Su suffered setbacks in many ways, so he was naturally unwilling to accept it.

Since the soft approach didn't work, he had no choice but to resort to the hard approach by invoking his connections.

He told his family about his relationship with Rosie, but then turned around and accused his master, saying that Luo Daling had tried to seduce him but failed and was trying to break him up with Rosie.

He crafted this story so meticulously that it led some members of the Luo family of the Demon-Slaying Sect to force a marriage alliance.

He once used this to blackmail Luo Daling into giving him some sweet treats.

Luo Daling then employed a delaying tactic and took on another disciple named Han Meng.

Han Meng is exceptionally talented and has outstanding looks.

Thus, Luo Daling temporarily used this female disciple from a "poor family" to keep Luo Su from indulging in lust.

Unfortunately, in the great war between humans and demons in the Ten Thousand Demon Cave five years ago, Han Meng was severely injured, losing all her cultivation and being completely disfigured. Therefore, Luo Su once again turned his lustful desires towards Luo Daling and her daughter.

If Luo Daling and her daughter hadn't both been more powerful than Luo Su, he would have already used other methods to harm them.

Of course, Luo Daling did not reveal this secret to Dou Eqing, but he would find out sooner or later.

After hearing Luo Daling's account, Dou Eqing immediately thought of the old formula, the Demon Slave Seal, to deal with Luo Su.

"Dealing with that kid is easy, just leave it to me."

He explained his solution.

"I remember there's a limit to the number of these. Now that I'm already yours, when will you remove the demon slave seal from me?"

Luo Daling said to Dou Eqing in a coquettish tone.

"Once you give birth to a big, healthy son for our Luo family, we'll hand over the sect to the child to manage."

Dou Eqing vaguely evaded the question.

Seeing that one request after another could not be fulfilled, Luo Daling brought up the topic of Tianyuan Liquid again.

Because she discovered that the matter of Tianyuan Liquid was not simple.

These nine drops of Heavenly Origin Liquid now seem to have just been born from the source, and there must be a secret within them.

"When will Dou Lang be able to send Ling'er to the sixth rank?"

Women seem to be born with the ability to be charming; her demeanor made Dou Eqing's bones melt.

"Once we're in charge of the Blazing Cave, everything will be there."

Dou Eqing knew that the other party suspected the source of Tianyuan Liquid, so he had no choice but to vaguely change the subject.

Luo Daling was indeed successfully distracted by this idea, and began to think about Dou Eqing's ambition.

With her intelligence, after a few moments of thought, she gradually understood Dou Eqing's plan.

The more I think about it, the more mysterious and unpredictable Dou Eqing seems.

So she stopped clinging to Dou Eqing and kindly led him away from the Flame Cave camp.

He had intended to escort Dou Eqing back to the Baishan Sect's headquarters, but Dou Eqing declined, fearing that leaving any trace would expose his plans for the Blazing Flame Cave.

When Dou Eqing appeared before Shi Hao, everyone was curious about how he had managed to escape from Luo Daling's clutches in just four days.

He said nothing, and seeing that Shi Hao's spiritual power was completely imprisoned, he directly used the Demon Slave Seal Hand Technique and pointed a finger at Shi Hao's brow.

"If you accept it, you can go back."

Shi Hao gritted his teeth and accepted the Demon Slave Seal, but in reality, it was all an act.

He was confident that with the Qiankun Ring, a soul artifact, most soul-related restrictions would not have a strong binding force on him.

"From now on, I will follow Master Dou's lead without question!"

After accepting the Demon Slave Seal, Shi Hao performed a single kneeling salute to Dou Eqing and then left the Baishan Sect's headquarters.

No sooner had he left than Dou Eqing eagerly inquired about the Minotaur from the crowd.

To date, Dou Eqing has accumulated nearly 50.5 levels of merit.

Clearly, in this short period of time, the Minotaur Demon personally killed dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators, thus gradually gaining fifth-order merit.

Although the Minotaur was killing with great gusto, Dou Eqing was somewhat worried about the safety of this strategic henchman.

Even though human cultivators and demons are different races, in most cases they tacitly maintain the restriction that the higher-level cultivator should hunt down the lower-level opponent, especially in this kind of massacre where the strength of the higher-level cultivator is overwhelming.

Therefore, if the Minotaur were to kill indiscriminately, the human race could send out experts at the Integration Realm to hunt him down.

Dou Eqing glanced at everyone, and finally Guo Jia stepped forward to answer his question.

"When we returned to Stonegate, the Minotaur secretly followed us. Not only did we fail to spot the Minotaur and his lieutenant, but they also kept the human outposts hidden from us..."

From Guo Jia's account, Dou Eqing learned that the Minotaur had massacred the Guo family in the northwest of Shiguan City.

Guoyuan was a fifth-tier power, established by a former loose cultivator alliance. Lacking sufficient foundation and a powerful protective formation, it was slaughtered by the Minotaur and his deputy general, who decimated 90% of its members in a very short time.

The founder of Guoyuan Academy, one of only two people at the Refinement Realm, could not escape and were reduced to ashes by the Minotaur Demon.

The Minotaur vented all his hatred for Dou Eqing on the Guo Courtyard.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have personally slaughtered the entire clan.

He did not bring his subordinate demons with him at the time, which means that the Minotaur not only slaughtered Nascent Soul cultivators who were only one realm lower than him, but also Nascent Soul, Golden Core, and even Purple Mansion and Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Upon hearing this, Dou Eqing realized that the Minotaur was indeed in danger.

"Do you know its approximate location?"

He didn't have high hopes and didn't think Guo Jia could give him an answer, but as soon as he finished speaking, Guo Jia replied.

"They wanted to take a detour and return to Demon Cloud Cave via the southwest route guarded by Tiger Venerable."

"How do you know? If you knew, wouldn't the Minotaur be doomed if he went back along this path?"

Dou Eqing still thought that the human cultivators had completely grasped the whereabouts of the Minotaur.

Guo Jia did not answer his question, but instead used a secret communication device—the Silent Dharma.

Silent Faroes are in pairs, one for each person to communicate over long distances.

This magical artifact was originally intended for Rosie and Dou Eqing to communicate secretly. Later, Dou Eqing gave his own to Guo Jia to communicate with Rosie.

The main purpose of this move was to obtain external intelligence from the Blazing Cave through Rosie.

After all, even regarding the war between humans and demons, high-level cultivators have more comprehensive information than their own forces.

Upon seeing the silent Faro, Dou Eqing immediately realized that the Minotaur had taken the initiative to contact the Guo family.

"A Nascent Soul stage expert is already pursuing them? They're asking us for help?"

Dou Eqing asked Guo Jia via telepathy.

Guo Jia nodded.

"Also, Stewardess Ji of the Judgment Hall has been waiting for you in the inner hall for some time."

Guo Jia hesitated several times before finally speaking.

The steward he was referring to was Ji Xi.

He could tell that Dou Eqing was paying close attention to the Minotaur.

The fact that the Minotaur had taken the initiative to contact him gave Guo Jia some reason to speculate: the Minotaur might have been subdued by Dou Eqing's unpredictable methods and become one of their "own people".

With Ji Xi's arrival, the couple will be reunited after a long separation. Dou Eqing might be held back by Ji Xi and unable to deal with the Minotaur.

Guo Jia then asked about the Minotaur via telepathy, and Guo Jia believed that Dou Eqing did not want too many people to know the relationship between the Minotaur and Dou Eqing.

Therefore, in the end, Dou Eqing himself could only help with the Minotaur's matter.

On one hand, Guo Jia felt that Ji Xi would delay Dou Eqing from rescuing the Minotaur, and on the other hand, he believed that Dou Eqing could use Ji Xi's position as a steward of the Judgment Hall to obtain information about the pursuit of the Minotaur.

So, in the end, he revealed Ji Xi's arrival.

Otherwise, he would use the excuse of forgetting to delay Dou Eqing's meeting with Ji Xi, so that Dou Eqing could directly go and deal with the Minotaur.

When Dou Eqing heard that Ji Xi had arrived, his concerns were much the same as Guo Jia's.

But he decisively went into the inner palace to see Ji Xi.

Because he considered that he would need someone to cover for him in the Hall of Judgment in the future when he plotted the Blazing Cave.

The Minotaur Demon had given him some merit points that weren't at the fifth tier, and Dou Eqing planned to make use of them as soon as possible to cultivate Ji Xi, which was an excellent choice.

He rushed into the inner hall and saw Ji Xi, dressed in her finest attire, casting an eager gaze upon him from the main seat.

Before he could speak, "Smack!" Ji Xiyu slapped the armrest of the seat, leaping off and throwing herself into his arms. Then she whispered sweetly in his ear:
“Dou Lang, you’ve forgotten your old love now that you have a heart. Xi’er has waited for you for countless years, and thought you didn’t want me anymore.”

"How could I? Xi'er is my precious darling. I can do without anyone else, but I can't do without my beautiful Xi'er."

As Dou Eqing spoke, he played tricks on the other woman to show his love for her.

"kiss Me……"

Dou Eqing simply took Ji Xi and hid in the Ziwei Immortal Mansion to carry out his mission.

……

Unfortunately, just as Dou Eqing had finished feeding Ji Xi, Ye Na began to entangle herself with him.

Yena's injuries had long since healed, and she had been waiting for Dou Eqing to appear, so much so that she had no time to focus on her cultivation.

Although she was reborn from the brink of death to save Dou Eqing, she was even more grateful to him for saving her life, which deepened her feelings for him.

Just as Dou Eqing returned to the Ziwei Immortal Abode, Xiao Yuzhu and the Zhong sisters also discovered him.

Whether he cultivated with Ji Xi or Ye Na rushed forward to offer herself, it all caught their attention.

After Dou Eqing won over Ye Nashi, Xiao Yuzhu no longer wanted to be reserved and flew over impatiently.

Just as Yena was tactfully leaving the space to the two of them, the Zhong sisters barged in.

The Zhong sisters are in a very special situation. They are two people in one body, with only their faces changing between the two. Everything else about their bodies is normal.

However, they are no longer the little sisters they once were; they have transformed into mature, sophisticated women.

The Zhong sisters arrived gracefully, both having reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul realm. Dou Eqing frowned and looked troubled upon seeing their sudden intrusion.

It turns out that in his eagerness for quick results, he had already depleted his vital energy seven times, even though he had only practiced the "Yu Yang Yang Yin Jing" with Ji Xi for a day.

In just two days, the two women took turns attacking, severely damaging Dou Eqing's vitality. Looking up now, Xiao Yuzhu's bright eyes were like water, clearly indicating that she was not someone to be trifled with.

If this kind of relentless battle continues, I'm afraid I'll collapse from exhaustion.

Yena was an expert at the Refinement Realm.
Dou Eqing's eyes darted around, and a plan came to mind.
