The Hehuan Sect cultivates alchemy; my senior sister helps me refine alchemy throughout the world.

Huo Xin reached out her withered hand and gently patted Shen Yifei's cheek, the gesture incredibly tender.

"Boy, I've been waiting for you since the moment you stepped into the Demon Realm. Along the way, you've collected Golden Essence and subdued the Imperial Advisor, but with your meager cultivation... heh..."

A chill ran straight to the top of Shen Yifei's head.

He suddenly understood many things!

"Red Sleeve, you deliberately destroyed my demonic root. Did you ever imagine that one day I would find her and return here with her!"

"Boy, you are indeed very clever. Hongxiu, your mother's personal maid. Letting her go was twofold: first, to lure Youlan out, and second, to find you, you little bastard. Your mother has hidden you very well..."

Huo Xin chuckled softly, her tone carrying an air of complete control: "What a pity, no matter how deep the concealment, it cannot escape the will of Heaven. Did your mother think that sending you to the cultivation world and changing your appearance would preserve the traces of the Five Elements Demon God's inheritance within you? She was too naive."

Shen Yifei froze on the spot, unable to move even a finger. The bewitching divine sense was like an invisible net, binding him tightly from head to toe.

With her hands behind her back, Huo Xin walked leisurely around to Shen Yifei's back, her voice unhurried, "The inn in Chiyang City, the rift in Luohun Plain, the lava beast in Chiyan Valley, every step I took was a path paved for you."

"You...you mean..."

"You think gold essence is so easy to find? You think the restrictions I set up would be guarded by a lava beast? Heh..."

The bewitching heart slowly detached from the Demon King's body, coalescing into a hazy gray shadow. "That lava beast was raised by me, and that restriction was a flaw I deliberately left, just so that you could come here smoothly."

Why did you do that?

"Hahahaha...Why?"

The illusory image gradually solidified, and a gaunt and sleazy middle-aged man appeared before Shen Yifei.

No wonder Jin Jing hates bewitching demons; he's truly ugly. But ugliness doesn't matter; he just looks like a villain.

Malicious, despicable, cunning, wicked, arrogant, greedy, callous, mean, hypocritical, filthy...

These are all the words I could think of!

Words used to describe a bad person can be seen on their face.

When Shen Yifei looked at the face in front of him, his first reaction was not fear, but disgust.

"What are you looking at?" Huo Xin grinned, revealing a set of yellowed teeth. "Don't you think I look special?"

Shen Yifei steadied himself. "I'm wondering, how did you become a Demon God with looks like that? Don't you nine Demon Gods consider appearance when selecting candidates?"

"Hehe, no wonder you inherited Wan Shuo's legacy. Just like him, you have a silver tongue. No matter how ugly I am, I'm still much better than being neither male nor female, right? At least I'm still a man. Don't believe me? Take a look..."

Having said that, Huoxin actually tried to pull down her own pants!

"Stop! You're a real pervert. Don't you think you're disgracing the Nine Demon Kings?"

"Disgraceful? Haha... What do you mean by face? To me, there's no such thing as face..."

Huo Xin pointed to her face, "Look at this, this is what God gave me. Why did He have to put all the misfortune and all the bad things in the world on me alone?"

Looking at his self-pitying face, Shen Yifei felt disgusted, but he had to admit that the guy's acting skills were indeed quite good.

Just moments ago, they were arrogantly declaring that everything was under control, but now they're playing the victim, putting on a pitiful act as if they've been abandoned by God.

Shen Yifei didn't respond, but just watched him perform quietly.

Huo Xin let out a couple of howls, and seeing that Shen Yifei didn't respond, he stopped pretending and said with a sinister smile, "Boy, do you think I'm pitiful?"

"A little," Shen Yifei said honestly. "If you put your face on the street, even a dog wouldn't bother biting you... because it's too dirty."

"Sharp-tongued, but... I like it!"

After Huo Xin finished speaking, her figure blurred and turned into a cloud of gray-black mist, rushing straight towards Shen Yifei's face!

"Kid, just hand over your body!"

The gray mist was moving at an astonishing speed. Shen Yifei had no time or strength to dodge it. He only felt a chill between his brows, and a cold aura had already entered his sea of ​​consciousness.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, Shen Yifei's soul stood in the center of the wilderness, watching the gray mist roll around in his sea of ​​consciousness a few times before transforming into the withered and wretched appearance of Huoxin, looking around and clicking his tongue in admiration.

"What a wonderful place! Look at this sea of ​​consciousness—vast, clear, with a solid foundation, and even imbued with the aura of the Five Elements…a hundred times better than that wretched place of the Demon King!"

Huo Xin sniffed, then said with rapture, "It even smells like golden essence. Kid, when I regain my full strength, I'll give you the credit!"

He had barely finished speaking when a childish voice echoed from the depths of his consciousness: "Ugly monster! What are you doing in here! Get out! Get out right now!"

Huo Xin looked down and saw a little golden girl with two topknots floating in the corner of his mind, standing with her hands on her hips and glaring at him.

Huo Xin was stunned for a moment: "Golden Essence? You've already taken human form?"

"Go to hell! My name is Jinbao! You ugly freak? Get away from me! Your ugly face is disgusting!!"

Huo Xin's expression darkened after being called an ugly monster twice by a little child: "Little brat, I'll eat you in a bit. Your delicate skin and tender flesh will surely be delicious raw."

"Want to eat me? You'll hurt your teeth!" Jinbao retorted sharply.

Huo Xin was too lazy to waste words with her. He turned to look at Shen Yifei's soul and said with a sinister smile, "Boy, I'll take your sea of ​​consciousness. We've been destined to meet, so I'll give you a quick death and let it dissipate on its own to avoid suffering."

Shen Yifei's soul laughed. "Bewitching Heart, are you sure you've got me cornered? Don't you think it's too easy for you to enter my soul?"

Huo Xin frowned: "What do you mean by this? Kid, you don't actually think that your broken sea of ​​consciousness, with the blessing of golden essence, can defeat me, do you?"

Shen Yifei smiled. "Huoxin, how did you manage to trick me? You let me find you so easily. Things that go too smoothly are often traps. You should understand that."

No sooner had Shen Yifei finished speaking than a black spear pierced through the air!

Huo Xin chuckled and easily dodged the attack.

"I thought you had some killer move. No wonder I couldn't find Wan Shuo's other half; they were all here with you! They've all been delivered to my door! Bring them all here!"

Huo Xin exhaled a stream of black gas, which transformed into a giant hand and fiercely grabbed at the vital point of Shen Yifei's soul!

Once the mind is captivated, the force is unstoppable.

Shen Yifei hurriedly retreated, his divine sense urging, "Wife, merge!"

Two golden beams of light attacked Huoxin, one from the front and one from the back.

This was the power of the Five Elements Demon Gods empowering the Golden Essence, forcing Huo Xin to stop and step aside.

However, this was just two golden lights colliding directly, merging into a larger, faster golden light that headed straight for Huo Xin!

"oops……"

Huo Xin cried out in alarm, for the golden light offered no escape!
