"The master also misses Xiaoqing and Xiaobai."

Zhu Yu smiled and replied, raising his hand to pat Xiao Bai's head. Compared to Xiao Qing's curly and spiky hair, Xiao Bai's hair was as smooth as a ribbon and felt very nice. He stroked it a couple of times and stared at it.

[Target: Xiaoqing/Xiaobai]

[Race: Thunderstorm Naga "Variant"]

[Bloodline: Naga Serpent]

[Cultivation Level: First Tier Perfection: 31/35]

[Innate Spells: Naga Avatar, Summoning Tides, Snake Control, Troop Recognition...]

[Status: One body, two souls, healthy]

Refining the "Naga's Eye" didn't seem to change much on the panel.

However, Xiaoqing and Xiaobai's strength has actually changed a lot. Their bloodline has taken another step forward, breaking the "Storm Thunder Naga" restraint and transforming into a "mutant species", which is comparable to the "Immortal Tomb Spirit Ruins" mid-grade spirit bloodline.

The potential ceiling has been raised to another level.

Furthermore, as a core derivative lineage, its innate magic, "Naga True Body," has transformed into "Naga Avatar." The difference of just one word is not only vast, but also enormous.

"Naga True Form" only allows Xiaoqing and Xiaobai to summon a projection of "Naga Serpent," while "Naga Dharma Body" is different; it allows Xiaoqing and Xiaobai to truly transform into "Naga Serpent."

Or rather, it is now equivalent to "Naga Serpent".

It is merely a "Naga Serpent" with diluted bloodline from countless generations ago. It certainly cannot compare to the legendary mythical creature "Naga Serpent," but it still possesses a trace of its power.

This is why "Dream," as the second-chosen one of "Lady of Pleasure," is so wary of Xiaoqing and Xiaobai.

"Mythical creatures" are naturally inclined to take the easy way out.

In other words, they are "born gods". Xiaoqing and Xiaobai, who have awakened their bloodline, already possess a trace of divine qualities. Although it is weak and insignificant, it is still a divine quality.

As a secondary god, "Dream" felt it most deeply.

As you can see, in the past, "Dream" would have already clung to Zhu Yu, using him to lavishly please "Lady Pleasure." But now, he stands obediently to the side, glancing at Xiao Qing and Xiao Bai from time to time, his eyes filled with both apprehension and a subtle, stimulating excitement...

"Only four 'Spiritual Ruins Origin' are missing...?"

Zhu Yu landed on Xiao Qing and Xiao Bai's cultivation level column, pondered for a moment, and then used his mind to sense the divided spirit located in "Canglan Spirit Ruins".

Suddenly, a flood of information rushed into my mind.

The "Canglan Lingxu" was restarted, and the spirit was deployed. As expected, it still possessed the little princess "Milo Storm Herstotta" in the "Storm's Nest".

Because the goal is to fleece "Lan".

The "distracted mind" did not act rashly, but followed the previously established trajectory. Although there were some slight differences, the general development was still the same.

"Distraction" has once again become the shining jewel of "Storm Nest".

Even now.

"Distracted Spirit" once again entered the "Green Pearl" Forest, and his cultivation broke through to the "Second Stage" with ease. The deadline for the final battle with the Warsaw Fishermen is not far away.

Perhaps because he had plundered too many "spiritual items" last time, this time he found very few that could be taken out of the "Canglan Spiritual Ruins".

Furthermore, the "Distracted Spirit" had subtly inquired about the sacred relic "Naga Horn" from Old Greg, only to discover that the "Naga Horn" had been lost a thousand years ago by a "Storm Naga."

It is not difficult to see from this.

Either the remains of the Naga Serpent are too precious for the Azure Void to be nurtured in a short time, or the remains of the Naga Serpent do not belong to the Azure Void and disappeared completely after being taken out...

Zhu Yu was more inclined towards the latter.

However, this did not stop him from taking advantage of "Lan". Recalling their last meeting, "Lan" subtly revealed his malice towards "Azure Tower".

He believed that this "distraction" would not end empty-handed.

Let the "distracted mind" continue along the same path as last time. Coming back to her senses, Zhu Yu patted Xiao Qing and Xiao Bai's heads, put them down, and said with a smile:

"Come on, your master will treat you to a feast..."

"Hurrah!…"

Upon hearing the words "feast," Xiaoqing immediately jumped up and cheered, her round, chubby face beaming with joy, her eyebrows raised.

The quiet and gentle Xiao Bai seemed to be disturbed by Xiao Qing. She frowned slightly and let out a soft hum, but the sound was so soft that Xiao Qing ignored it.

This made her even angrier; she pouted and glared at her.

Zhu Yu, who had observed Xiao Qing and Xiao Bai's thoughts, found it quite amusing. A slight smile appeared on his face as he ruffled Xiao Bai's hair and said:

"Hmm, how about we ask Manager Luo Ling to order a few more pretty outfits for Xiao Bai?"

"Um."

Xiao Bai's blue eyes lit up immediately. She nodded emphatically, as if she had thought of something. She raised her head slightly and gave Zhu Yu a bright smile.

To celebrate the "Blood Slave" breaking through to the second tier and transforming into the "Blood Demon", the "Naga Serpent" bloodline contained in Xiaoqing and Xiaobai has awakened.

Zhu Yu decided to hold a simple banquet and invited "Master Ma" to give him the "Life Elixir" that he had previously promised.

He gave the order.

As the head housekeeper, Zhu Yi started busily making arrangements.

Months passed.

The "Upside-Down Tower" hired many servants, some to clean the environment, some to tend to the flowers and trees, and others to manage the kitchen...

Normally, Zhu Yu doesn't eat grains, so they have nothing to do. Most of them are borrowed by "Whale" to a layer of space to help take care of "Fish People".

Now Zhu Yu gave the instructions.

The tranquil second-floor space suddenly became much more lively.

Some servants keep showing up in the square from time to time...

And in the center of the square.

Zhu Yu lay lazily in the rocking chair, holding a book in his hand, flipping through it with great interest.

The dark elf "Dream" stood behind him, massaging his shoulders. The radiant aura emanating from her made her cheeks flush red, and she looked completely pleased. Anyone who didn't know better would think that she was the one being massaged.

"Waaah..."

Xiao Qing squawked and chased after the "Black Feather Chickens" that had followed her all the way from the "Netherworld Palace." Now, nourished by abundant spiritual energy, the three "Black Feather Chickens" had advanced to the first-tier low-grade demonic beasts, running incredibly fast and clucking incessantly...

Out of sight, out of mind, Xiaobai simply shrank back into its body.

"Miss Qing, please try this pine cone paste..."

Zhu Yi served her with a beaming smile, taking out various specially prepared fruits and snacks from the animal bag and feeding them to Xiao Qing from time to time. Xiao Qing ate with great delight and chased after the food with even more enthusiasm.

When Xiao Hei arrived with Xiao Qi, the noise in the square became even more lively.

No one knows how Xiao Qi did it, but she managed to bring up Xiao Yu's offspring, who had been left to roam freely outside. Then, a group of insects and demons played a game similar to "eagle catching chicken."

Little Black, relying on its large and plump body, took the lead as the mother hen without hesitation, while Little Green acted as the eagle, and they played around with laughter and joy.

I don't know if I was awakened by the noise or because of my bloodline and offspring.

Xiao Yu, who had been honing herself by Zhu Yu's aura in his sleeve, rarely showed herself. She nuzzled his cheek, perched on his shoulder, and stared at the playing demons and insects, including Xiao Qing, with her large pupils. She gently rubbed her sword arm, which resembled a blood-red butterfly flapping its wings.

If you look closely, you'll notice it.

A nearly invisible blood-red thread, like an insect, coiled and moved between the blade's arms, and a faint yet incomparably sharp "intention" slowly emanated from it.

"Dream," who was immersed in "pleasure," was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head. She was jolted awake for a moment, and her hazy pupils quickly regained their clarity. She looked at the presence that made her feel threatened as if she were facing a formidable enemy.

When he saw Xiaoyu, he was immediately stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"A praying mantis?... "

"Um?…"

Zhu Yu, who was flipping through a book, turned to look at Xiao Yu, his eyes wide with astonishment. "This is... sword intent?..." He suddenly stood up, raised his hand and tapped Xiao Yu's head, staring intently at her.

[Target: Xiaoyu]

[Race: Mutant Jade Mantis]

[Bloodline: Sky-Splitter Butterfly]

[First-Tier Perfection: 15/15]

[Talented Spell: Sky-Splitting Spirit Slash]

【Intent: Blade Intent Lv1, Characteristics: Blade Qi, Refining Qi into Threads】

[Status: Healthy, Excited.]

The information panel is as usual.

The only difference is the addition of a column for the character "意" (meaning/intent).

Zhu Yu's gaze fell upon it, and the information became clear.

"Intention" is similar to divine thought. It is the ultimate power born from the mind when a certain skill is honed through countless trials and tribulations and at a certain moment, one aligns with the will of Heaven.

Its power, when used alone, can shake the soul and spirit. Those with weak minds may die from a broken soul. If it is attached to spiritual power or magical artifacts, its power will be amplified exponentially. If it is further enhanced by spells or supernatural abilities, its power will increase dramatically.

Xiaoyu cultivated the "sword intent," which is extremely effective in offense.

Qiao Hewei's elder brother, Qiao Heyong, had mastered "sword intent" and made a name for himself in the "Meteor God Inner Palace," so Qiao Hewei granted him a "subordinate Foundation Establishment" position and took him under his wing.

At this time, he and Hong Youfu, who were also granted the "Subordinate Foundation Establishment" position, were in seclusion to adjust their physical and mental state in preparation for breaking through to the "Foundation Establishment" level.

"He actually managed to cultivate 'sword intent'..."

Zhu Yu's gaze couldn't help but turn somewhat strange.

As we all know, insects and demons, due to their bloodline, are far more savage than rational at the first level. To expect them to settle down and hone their skills is nothing short of wishful thinking.

Therefore, it is rare.

Or rather, almost no first-tier insects can cultivate "intention".

But considering the special nature of "Xiaoyu".

While it may seem bizarre, it's not entirely incomprehensible.

"Not bad, not bad..."

Zhu Yu's eyes lit up with joy.

It can be said that Xiaoyu, who has mastered the "sword intent", combined with her special technique "Sky-Splitting Spirit Slash" and the "Sky-Splitting Butterfly" bloodline, will become one of his henchmen, second only to "Blood Slave" and on par with "Xiaoqing", "Xiaobai" and "Meng", and will have a bright future.

As if sensing her master's joy, Xiaoyu tilted her head to look at him, restrained her "sword intent," and rubbed her cheek against his, responding with trust and happiness.

Then I lay down and quietly watched Xiaoqing and the others play and make noise.

"Dream" breathed a sigh of relief, gently massaging Zhu Yu while glancing at Xiao Yu, Xiao Qing, and Xiao Hei every now and then, thinking to herself:

"Even the master's pet is so powerful, 'Dream' has to work hard to please 'Lady'..."

Her eyes were resolute as she guided a wisp of Zhu Yu's breath into her body. Before long, her extremely sensitive body was once again immersed in the pleasure that intertwined "pain and joy".

Every now and then.

Then a wisp of mysterious power descended from the darkness and merged into "Dream's" body. This power not only made her magical meridians develop faster, but also made her body more sensitive.

In the hazy state of "dream," the captivating and joyful voice of "the lady" faintly echoed behind my head.

Zhu Yu vaguely sensed something and probed out with his senses.

next moment.

Unknown information flooded into his mind, transforming into a series of breathtaking images. As a murmur, both real and unreal, arose, all the memories gradually coalesced into a hazy, ethereal figure. With the murmur growing louder, the figure became clearer, and the murmur itself became more distinct…

"Pain is the source of ultimate pleasure, the ladder to the divine kingdom. Come, come, prisoner deep in the mire of this swamp, I am the Lord of Pleasure, enter my divine kingdom, eternally immortal, and share in ultimate bliss..."

The alluring voice, brimming with seduction, echoed repeatedly, but perhaps because of the distance, the figure could not be fully revealed; only a deep, striking white glimpse remained.

Zhu Yu neither responded nor blocked the "thought".

for a long time.

The sound abruptly stopped, and the figure vanished like a dream, leaving behind a light pink three-pointed star mark with interwoven gray patterns.

When the mind focuses on it, information emerges.

The inscriptions include a diagram of a sacrificial altar and a catalogue listing a wide variety of goods.

Most of these items are products of the "Abyss," especially "Dark Elves," and there is also information about fishermen, orcs, and Eldar...

All of them are women, and the prices are clearly marked.

After learning about it, Zhu Yu was speechless.

This "Lord of Pleasure" is clearly not doing so well; a demigod is actually engaged in such a business as trafficking "people" and pimping.

Although he had no interest in the matter, he still glanced at it briefly.

Upon closer inspection, Zhu Yu indeed discovered some good items.

For example, one of the beastmen named "Titan" can advance to the second tier upon reaching adulthood and is known as the "Child of the Earth." As long as it stands on the ground, its power is inexhaustible.

There is also a half-dragon named "Dragon Girl". According to the book, she was born from the intercourse of a pure-blooded "silver dragon" and a human. She was born with a strong body and also possessed powerful magical aptitude.

If not for an unexpected fall.

It can be said to be a foregone conclusion that it is a second-order descent.

Zhu Yu was very envious when he saw it, but when he saw the label "Ten Thousand Dao of Spiritual Ruins Origin" afterward, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​buying it.

However, having nothing else to do, he tried to contact the "Lady of Pleasure" who wasn't doing so well in the "Abyss" through the "Mark," sending her a message that he wanted to buy "Titan" and "Dragon Girl," but the price was too high.

He then stopped paying attention.

The aroma of food wafted through the air.

His invited guests arrived one by one.

The first to arrive were his founding disciples: Xun Su, Ni Ying, Bai Meng, and Qiao Hewei. Then Xiang Sui, Liang Kuan, Bai Yan, Zhou Tong, and Hong Xingwang followed.

Not long after.

Led by a servant, the leper priest, beaming, led Chen Ying, who was holding an infant, to the mountaintop platform.

"I've met the real person."

The others also stood up and greeted him respectfully.

Zhu Yu smiled and rose to greet him, "Congratulations, Senior Brother Ma, on the birth of your son." He turned to Chen Ying and nodded slightly. With a thought, he used his magic power to condense a jade pendant using the supernatural ability "Superior Man," and then used the "Essence of the Five Elements" to make a necklace, which he then waved and presented to Chen Ying.

After doing all this, he feigned dissatisfaction and said:

"Senior brother has a son! How could you not inform your junior brother in advance so that you could carefully prepare a gift..."

Master Ma was clearly taken aback by his actions. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but then he saw Zhu Yu suddenly turn his head to look down the mountain, his face showing confusion and surprise.
