A succubus devours its master? She then raises a twelve-winged angel!

Chapter 371 Ying Bing, I'm sorry!
Meanwhile, after sealing the void rift that connected to the Demon Abyss, Gu Xing had already arrived in the Snow Region with Vera.

At this moment, he was standing on the site of the old battlefield where the Insect King had attacked him.

Returning to this familiar place, I couldn't help but feel a little sentimental.

With his gaze falling on the remains of the giant turtle that had been completely drained, Gu Xing finally understood why Vera had been able to be taken advantage of by the Insect Emperor's will.

Vera completely drained the body of an existence that surpassed the level of a totem.

There's no way Vera could completely control this power!
Vera saw Gu Xing stunned and realized that Gu Xing was thinking about the mistakes she had made before.

A hint of guilt flashed in her eyes as she whispered:
"Master, I'm sorry!"

Liuli got hurt because of her.

Furthermore, she almost hurt Gu Xing.

Gu Xing shook his head. "Let bygones be bygones; there's no need to bring it up again."

Then, Gu Xing changed the subject and asked Lin about something.

"How is your fusion with the Insect Emperor's power going?"

Vera carefully examined her internal condition and gently shook her head:

"For some reason, it seems that the integration process has encountered a bottleneck and is difficult to make further progress."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xing stroked his chin and pondered for a moment.

This situation is not unexpected.

After all, Liuli was able to break through to the Origin level only with the help of the multiple blessings of angelic luck, divine patterns, and demonic core.

Although Vera absorbed the Insect Emperor's will, it was strong, but she probably still lacked the necessary skills to break through to the Origin level.

However, even the system has not yet provided a detailed solution.

Gu Xing could only wait for Vera to absorb another portion of the Zerg will before seeing if the system would provide a solution for breaking through to the Origin level.

"Keep absorbing! Integrate the power of the Insect Emperor as much as possible, and it would be best to master the Devouring Law first!"

This principle suits Vera best.

Vera's life law and devouring law combined
Gu Xing felt that the strength she could unleash would be in no way inferior to Liu Li's.

After giving Vera his instructions, Gu Xing led her on a continued journey toward the center of the Snow Country.

They hadn't gone far when they encountered the Snow Wolf Clan.

Gu Xing's past act of saving the Snow Kingdom had already made the entire Snow Wolf Clan remember him.

Therefore, it was quickly brought to Sherry and Yingbing.

"Gu Xing?!"

Ying Bing's voice trembled with disbelief as her gaze was fixed on the familiar figure led by the snow wolf.

The surrounding wind and snow seemed to stand still at that moment, and her world consisted only of the person who was approaching step by step.

She was one of the people most affected by the news of Gu Xing's disappearance.

For countless days and nights, she could only barely keep herself from collapsing by relying on Lilith's words that his life was safe and sound.

Suddenly, he reappeared before her without warning, so real that she felt somewhat dazed.

A thousand words surged within my chest—

I wanted to ask him where he went, what he went through, and I wanted to tell him my worries...

But the moment I met his calm eyes, all the words choked in my throat, turning into the simplest greeting:
"Are you OK?"

Gu Xing's temperament is no longer what it used to be.

He could tell that Ying Bing had a slight affection for him.

But he now understands...
The only thing I like is glass!

So, he deliberately maintained a polite but slightly distant demeanor, simply nodding slightly and replying in a steady voice:

"I'm fine." This subtle gesture and tone, like a cold needle, gently pierced Ying Bing's heart.

She keenly sensed the deliberately maintained distance, and her bright eyes instantly dimmed, a bittersweet feeling spreading rapidly.

But she is Ying Bing after all.

She quickly lowered her eyelashes, and when she raised them again, she had tried to put on a seemingly relaxed smile, although the curve of the smile was somewhat forced.

"It's okay."

She spoke rapidly, as if afraid that if she slowed down even a little, she would lose control of her emotions:

"You...you're here to see Lady Lilith and Lady Yuki-onna, right? I'll take you there!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she gave Gu Xing almost no chance to respond or ask further questions.

She turned around abruptly and stepped into the thick snow first, her steps hurried and even a little rushed.

Only her slightly trembling, somewhat frail figure in the wind, and the barely perceptible swaying as she walked, silently told of the turmoil in her heart.

Gu Xing gazed at her feignedly strong back and sighed softly in his heart.

"Feel sorry!"

Inside the Beast Taming Space.

After witnessing what happened outside, Liuli's originally tense nerves finally relaxed.

She exhaled softly, and the stinging pain from her unhealed injuries seemed to lessen somewhat.

Because Liuli was injured, Gu Xing kept her in the Beast Taming Space.

Seeing Ying Bing's appearance, she was initially afraid that her master would be taken away by that human.

But now it seems.
She was overthinking it.

Not far away, Vera leaned against the thick branches of the ancient tree of life, her emerald eyes taking in all the subtle changes in Liuli's expression.

She curled her lip in slight disapproval, a complex emotion welling up inside her.

During this time, how could she not have felt Gu Xing's deliberate, aloof demeanor?

Every time she tried to get closer, she could feel an invisible barrier.

This made her ambitious plan to take down her master progress unusually slowly, almost to a standstill.

But...give up?
This idea never truly crossed her mind.

Her fingertips unconsciously traced her lips, as if a trace of something still lingered deep within her consciousness.
The touch that Gu Xing left behind to awaken her, a touch that transcends everything.

The decisiveness and warmth of that moment are deeply imprinted on her soul.

"No matter what, I will not give up."

She reaffirmed this to herself once again.

Looking at Liuli's somewhat smug profile, Vera did not provoke her, but her eyes flickered slightly as she fell into deeper thought.

To make his master give up Liuli?

This is absolutely impossible!

Therefore, Vera never intended for Gu Xing to give up Liu Li and choose her.

All she asked for was a seat next to Gu Xing!
While Vera was constantly pondering her plan...

Just as Liuli was secretly delighted, she suddenly felt a chill for no reason, as if she were being stared at by a calculating gaze.

She cautiously raised her head, scanning the tranquil beast-taming space before finally fixing her gaze on the slender, green figure beneath the ancient tree in the distance.

Vera was looking down slightly, with a faint smile playing on her lips.

Liuli's brows furrowed immediately, and a warning bell rang in her mind:

"What mischief is this little green tea b*tch up to now?"
