With half a game of chess, I vanquish all demons!

Zhao Yao spread out one hand and drew a dagger from his waist with the other.

Sigh~

The sharp blade sliced ​​across the fingertip, and fresh blood beaded out.

Yan Rouyun knelt in front of him, eagerly opening her mouth to take his finger in, sucking on it with a look of ecstasy.

When she said, "Would you be willing to give it to me again, my lord?" she was referring to this object, not anything else:

Blood element!

Zhao Yao's body contains blood essence, which is of great benefit and has a strong attraction to her.

When they first met, she and a group of small animals were scrambling together on the ground. The recent mating that activated her latent phoenix blood was also due to this reason.

"...So obsessed with blood essence, he was just as frantic when he released his essence before."

This is no different from the behavior of those animals.

The power and influence of primordial energy are far greater than I imagined!

Is it that the Beast Form Fist has the ability to amplify human instincts, or is it due to the excessive power of the demonic blood within, or perhaps both...?

Zhao Yao looked down at Yan Rouyun, staring at the extremely happy expression on her face, his mind racing with thoughts.

While consuming elixirs can stimulate the generation of primordial energy within the body, ordinary people are not so obsessed with them.

This may be related to the category of primordial energy.

The primordial energy generated by consuming elixirs is an abstract concept related to physical activity. Blood essence, on the other hand, is a mystical substance formed by the fusion of primordial energy and blood.

As for the primordial energy extracted from the body by the Broken Jade Chess, it is a pure, sacred energy containing a magical quality.

All three are primordial qi, but they are completely different.

"...My lord, I'm leaving."

Yan Rouyun wasn't too greedy; after taking a few big gulps, she reluctantly stood up.

"Okay, take care on your journey."

Zhao Yao nodded, without saying anything more.

Yan Rouyun gazed at Zhao Yao with a tender and affectionate expression, recalling the absurdity and joy of the past day and night, and thinking of her ruthless battle before. She took a deep breath, stopped being coy, and turned to leave.

She was dressed in Zhao Yao's clothes, with a blood-stained fragment of a constable's uniform tucked in her arms. She was lightly dressed and moved very quickly.

As she walked along the road, Yan Rouyun silently re-examined her fighting style.

Although the "Dream-Drawing Divine Dragon" technique is powerful, it has obvious shortcomings.

This experience is something I owe him, so I'll just give myself to him in return.

But next time, we can't let this happen again; we'll go back and replace it.

There's also a bounty offered by the Heavenly Destiny Tower...

Her eyes narrowed, her determination hardening.

Who exactly defiled the Heavenly Destiny Tower? We must find out exactly what happened!

"Stop chasing me, stop chasing me, stop chasing me..."

Zhao Yao gazed in the direction Yan Rouyun had gone, remaining silent for a long time, when suddenly he heard a sound.

He looked up:

Not far away, the mad protector of the Yuan Chen Sect, the old madman, ran back from the direction he had just left, his voice trembling with sobs.

"...Please, stop chasing me, or I'll kill you...hiccup~ ee~"

As before, the mad old man seemed to be lost in some scene, shouting something to himself.

He ran past Zhao Yao, and after running a distance, he seemed to notice something, so he turned around and ran back.

The mad old man stopped in front of Zhao Yao.

He twitched his nose with a serious expression, sniffing closely while tilting his head to examine Zhao Yao's face.

Zhao Yao didn't know what he was doing, so she observed him curiously and silently without saying a word.

"...Good heavens...Dragon blood, phoenix blood...luck, luck..."

The mad old man mumbled some indistinct words, his voice gradually growing louder:

"...Hey kid, where's that girl you were having sex with in the wild?"

That's a promising talent for practicing the martial arts of my Yuan Chen Sect; he'd be perfect to be my disciple!

"How did you know?!" Zhao Yao was surprised.

Seeing his surprised expression, the mad old man seemed to have heard what he said, and said with a look of disdain:

"Nonsense, do you think I'm blind? She was clearly wearing your clothes just now... Stop with the nonsense, where's the girl?"

"Aren't you insane, sir?"

Zhao Yao asked with curiosity and directness.

"Pah!"

"I'll poop all over your face, who's crazy? You're the crazy one... Where's the girl?"

The crazy old man snorted and glared, continuing to press for answers.

"...It stinks! Did you poop in your pants?"

I don't know if there's a water source nearby.

I'll light a fire here. You can find a water source, take your clothes and wash them, then dry them when you return."

Zhao Yao took two steps back with a calm expression and offered a suggestion that could get him out of there.

He still remembered Yan Rouyun's warning: "Don't get involved in his affairs."

This old man is a protector of the Yuan Chen Sect, and must also be a martial artist. It's best to avoid contact with him if possible.

"Holy crap, I...I'm the one who's crazy or you?! Why can't you understand human language?!"

Hmph~ Never mind, I won't ask the girl.

"You, you have to do me a favor. If someone passes by and asks for directions, point them to a side road and make sure they don't catch up with me. It could save your life."

Unable to get a reply, the mad protector became furious and paced back and forth. Suddenly, he changed the subject in a rambling manner and asked Zhao Yao for help.

"You still say you're not crazy? Stop spouting nonsense. I helped you, and now you've saved my life."

Zhao Yao squinted and scrutinized the old man, remaining silent for a moment.

"Should we help or not?"

The crazy old man pressed for more information.

"I can help..."

Zhao Yao nodded slightly in response.

He immediately followed up with another question:

"...Are there any benefits?"

"What? You like smelly old men? Hehehe~ You have good taste, young man."

The Mad Protector glanced at Zhao Yao warily, then immediately began to make lewd winks.

Zhao Yao's eye twitched. No, I still prefer girls who smell good.

He stated directly:

"I mean elixirs, elixirs that can increase one's vital energy."

"...You should have said so earlier, you've made my heart flutter..."

As the Mad Protector was speaking, his head suddenly felt like it had been electrocuted, his face twitched, and he began to stutter.

"Oops~"

The intense discomfort in his head made the Mad Protector sigh, and he reached out and scratched his scalp vigorously in his dirty hair.

Then, ignoring the dirt on his hands, he pulled a ceramic bottle from his robes and threw it at Zhao Yao.

"Take it..."

Zhao Yao watched as the ceramic bottle traced an arc in the air, and clearly smelled a foul stench that was getting closer from afar.

He wasn't about to reach out and catch it; he stepped back to the side, letting the pottery bottle fall to the ground.

pat~

"Tsk, this young man, he's still not very nimble. He probably fell into the pee... Alright, as we agreed, you help me out and I'll save your life."

I'm leaving, no need to see me off.

After the mad old man finished muttering to himself, he waved his hand vigorously and ran off on his own.

He ran incredibly fast and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"What nonsense about saving my life, what a madman."

Zhao Yao watched his departing figure, shook her head, and didn't know what to say.

He looked around, broke off a stick from the roadside, and pulled out the earthenware bottle that the mad old man had thrown. Then he took a water bag, poured water into it, rinsed it, and then held the bottle with one hand with a blade of grass and pulled off the cork with the other.

boo~

嗅~

As soon as the stopper was pulled out, a unique fragrance wafted out.

Zhao Yaoyi's expression turned quite strange when he smelled that familiar fragrance.

Why is it this pill again!

In this ceramic vase are two "Spring Dreams That Leave No Trace".

He put the cork back in the bottle, put away the pill, stood there, gazing in the direction of the mad old man, thinking to himself:

"Still a crazy, lewd old man."

This time, he did not swallow the pill immediately, for fear that Yan Rouyun's situation would repeat itself.

I can skip the "Spring Dream Without a Trace" pill, but I can take the medicine left by Yan Rouyun before she left... I wonder if it can replenish what I've lost over the past two days.

"Gurgle~"

While swallowing the pills like candy, Zhao Yao wandered around the area.

This is the only way to reach the barren rocky mountains.

If you wait here, you will surely be received by the military officer who will guide you.
