Chapter 196, How to Deal with Demons

"You object, right?"

Lin Ran stood in the air, her words frozen in mid-air before she could finish speaking.

Then the world turned black and white, and everything froze in place.

Lin Ran activated the Eight Gates Formation, and eight gates appeared one after another before opening wide.

boom!

The dark golden fist slammed into the Eye Demon's head, and blood rushed into its body.

Then Lin Ran returned to her original spot, and the world returned to normal.

boom!

Countless cracks instantly appeared on the Eye Demon's body, and golden light shone from the cracks. Then, with a loud bang, the Eye Demon's body exploded into a sky full of black blood.

A tattered core fell from the sky and landed steadily in Lin Ran's hand.

The echo slowly faded away.

"……Bar?"

The atmosphere was quiet, silent, and frozen.

Ling Qiqi took a deep breath, not daring to look at Lin Ran, afraid that she would lose control if she looked at him even once, as the succubus's instincts had a significant influence.

She looked at the last remaining seventh-tier demon.

"Zakuli, what about you?"

"I have no objection."

The lava demon immediately backed down, realizing that it was inappropriate to risk its life here for the sake of a moment of bravado.

Ling Qiqi nodded, and Jian Linglong quietly appeared beside her, her flying sword circling around her, emitting wisps of sword energy, vaguely locking onto all the demons present.

"Hand over your soul essence and take over your territory, or don't leave."

Zaguli was the first to surrender his soul essence, and the remaining demons followed suit.

Only two Shadow Demons attempted to escape, but were pinned to the ground by two sword energies.

Having obtained all the soul essences, Ling Qiqi smiled brightly. She had long wanted to unify this area, but after dozens of battles, large and small, she had been unable to defeat the other demons.

Lin Ran was really helpful; she solved the biggest problem right away.

Ling Qiqi waved her hand.

"Get out of here. I want results within three days, or none of you will live."

The demons left, and Lin Ran was shocked by the cruelty between them. If this had happened among humans, it would have been a fight to the death. She never expected it to end so easily here.

"Qiqi, you..."

He had just turned around when Ling Qiqi gave him a bear hug, and he swallowed the rest of his words.

Ling Qiqi hugged Lin Ran tightly, not caring that others were present, and said something that made everyone's expressions strange.

Zhou Yu shook her head speechlessly and left first, followed by Jian Linglong and Nangong Yu.

Yan Lingfei hesitated for a moment and then left, suddenly feeling that something was still missing.

The Spirit Master walked away because Ling Qiqi had entangled her with her tail. Despite the tail appearing slender and soft, she couldn't break free!

Thus, the top of the castle became a battlefield.

……

One day later.

The Spirit Master hurriedly fled the room and sought refuge with Nangong Yu. Ling Qiqi was playing too many tricks!

Lin Ran couldn't leave, as Ling Qiqi clung to her relentlessly until she was almost completely drained.

After the battle, Ling Qiqi, looking dazed, recounted her experiences as a human.

Lin Ran listened quietly, occasionally being teased by the tail, but at this stage she was powerless to do so.

After a long while, Ling Qiqi calmed down and her mindset gradually recovered.

"Brother Lin, after the demon territories merge, there will be an opportunity for evolution, which can add an ability. Do you need it?"

"Abilities... like those that enhance comprehension?"

Ling Qiqi thought for a while,

"I think I should have it, I'll go look for it now."

She acted immediately, heading to the underground library to search, while Lin Ran took the opportunity to recover her weakened body.

soon.

Ling Qiqi returned carrying a scroll.

"There really is one. Demons all have their own bloodline inheritance. They can become stronger as long as they eat. The requirement for comprehension is very low. This ability is only useful for the peak of the ninth rank. It is useless once you enter the first realm."

"That works too, let's choose that one."

"Okay, I'll go prepare right away. A demon has come to report something, Brother Lin, can you handle it for me?"

Ling Qiqi vanished into thin air.

Lin Ran sensed that she had entered another space, which should be the core space of the territory.

He could enter if he wanted, but it would cause some unnecessary consequences.

On the third day, the demons who had surrendered their soul essence sent over the essence of their territories.

Previously, when they came to cause trouble, it was always with the controller of the territory. If you don't have the identity of a controller, you need to be more than two ranks stronger, otherwise you can't defeat the controller in the other party's territory.

Ling Qiqi accepted the source, made some arrangements, and then went to control the fusion of the source.

Lin Ran clearly sensed that a new space was forming within her territory.

After a moment's thought, he activated the spatial rules to help Ling Qiqi expand her space.

Ling Qiqi's voice came through.

"Brother Lin, how long can you hold on?"

"A long time." After estimating, Lin Ran gave the size of the open space.

"Brother Lin, if you help me open up a space, I'll use all my essence to evolve my abilities, which will improve my comprehension even faster."

"it is good."

The two divided the work, with Jian Linglong guarding the surroundings.

Zhou Yu, Nangong Yu, Lingzhu, and Yan Lingfei all have their own cultivation and research.

Nangong Yu occasionally manages the territory, but mostly maintains the status quo and rarely makes any changes.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

After stabilizing the new space, Lin Ran heard Ling Qiqi's tired voice.

"It's a success, Brother Lin. We don't need to expand any further."

"it is good."

Ling Qiqi appeared out of thin air, hugged Lin Ran, and fell asleep instantly.

Lin Ran: ...

He carried Ling Qiqi into the largest room in the castle, and then tried to enter the newly opened space. He found that he could enter, but he could not activate the territory's ability; Ling Qiqi had to control it herself.

He decided to give up for the time being, as there was still plenty of time and no need to rush.

His mental energy covered the castle, and he saw that Nangong Yu was hesitating about some matters concerning the territory.

The lobby on the first floor.

Nangong Yu sat behind the main seat, looking at the report on the table with a slight frown, as if he had encountered a very troubling matter.

Below, a dozen or so demons of different races knelt on the ground, not daring to look up, quietly awaiting Nangong Yu's decision.

"Are you having trouble?"

Lin Ran walked slowly over, and her clear voice made the demons tremble.

Several demons recalled the scene from that day. They were always considered powerful demons, but they couldn't even last a single move against this human!

Immediately, their heads drooped even lower.

Nangong Yu looked up and smiled.

"Well, there's a small problem. Qiqi isn't here, so I'm not entirely clear on the situation and can't make a decision."

"Let me see."

Lin Ran scanned the area with his mental energy, and his powerful processing ability allowed him to instantly understand the whole story. He then went to the library and copied all the information.

a long time.

After processing the information, Lin Ran stroked her chin and said to the demon kneeling on the ground,

"Go tell the other demons to follow the original rules. Kill anyone who causes trouble. If you can't kill them, come find me."

"Yes."

The demons immediately said this, and then quickly left the castle.

Nangong Yu put down the documents, leaned back in her chair, and stretched out her arms. Lin Ran couldn't take her eyes off her trembling breasts.

She smiled gently and opened her arms.

"You're really something, come on."
