Fairy, I'm going to control you tightly!

In the following days, Ji Nanbei went to Su Qianxue's place twice more.

Su Qianxue has also made a breakthrough in her cultivation these past few days, reaching the second level of Qi Refining.

Ji Nanbei's reason for going there was simple—to hunt down a few more Foundation Establishment demonic beasts while he still had some talismans left, in order to temper his physique.

The effects of the demon core tempering the body are indeed astonishing; Ji Nanbei's physical strength is increasing at an incredible rate.

On this day, Lin Mengxi, the senior sister who was usually elusive, also made a rare appearance.

When Lin Mengxi realized that Ji Nanbei had reached the peak of Qi Refining, she was truly surprised.

"Wow, you've actually caught up with the schedule? Could it be that you really can break through to the Foundation Establishment stage within a month?"

Ji Nanbei felt like cursing.

So when this unreliable senior sister set the goal of "Foundation Establishment in One Month," she never expected him to be able to achieve it, right?

Then what was she yelling about earlier?!

"Do you have any tips? Tell your senior sister quickly."

Lin Mengxi leaned closer with a smile.

"Sincerity brings results."

"?"

After choking on his senior sister's words, Ji Nanbei remembered something and asked seriously:

"Senior sister, may I ask if human cultivators can directly consume the inner core of a demon beast? I've heard that it's the core of a demon beast's cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mengxi also suppressed her smile and shook her head, saying:

"How is that possible? Demon beast inner cores can only be used for refining weapons or pills. Even when used in medicine, only a portion of their essence is extracted to refine the medicinal materials. If a human were to swallow them directly, at best their dantian would be damaged, and at worst they would explode and die."

After saying that, she glanced at Ji Nanbei suspiciously.

"You're not thinking of taking a shortcut and swallowing that stuff, are you? I advise you to give up that idea as soon as possible. I don't want to watch my junior brother explode into fireworks right in front of me."

Ji Nanbei shook his head.

"Of course not, thank you for letting me know, senior sister."

Having obtained this information, Ji Nanbei was able to confirm that human cultivators were indeed unable to directly consume demon cores to temper their bodies like Su Qianxue.

Ji Nanbei, who can simultaneously temper his demon core using the body-seizing system, will likely become an anomaly among human cultivators in the future.

At present, Ji Nanbei's physical strength is only slightly above normal, and has not yet caused a qualitative change.

However, if he continues to refine himself, one day he will become a terrifying being whose physical body can withstand spiritual treasures.

The legendary "physical ascension to sainthood" might be something Ji Nanbei could achieve.

At that time, who could rival Ji Nanbei, whose physical body was incomparably strong and whose spiritual energy and magic were astonishingly powerful?

Afterwards, Ji Nanbei chatted with Lin Mengxi for a few more minutes before they parted ways.

Ji Nanbei did not inform Lin Mengxi about Cheng Ling'er's master's condition.

Perhaps Senior Sister knows, perhaps she doesn't, but this is Master's private matter, and it should be Master's decision on whether to reveal it. Ji Nanbei is unwilling to do anything unnecessary.

Of course, Ji Nanbei already had some ideas about Cheng Ling'er's situation.

However, before that, there is a crucial prerequisite—Demonic Points.

Having just redeemed the "Invincible among its peers" talent, Ji Nanbei was already running low on magic points and needed to accumulate some to continue his plan.

At dawn, Ji Nanbei summoned the possession panel again.

After a moment's thought, he decided not to go to Su Qianxue's place today—he had already used up most of his offensive talismans, and if he were to forcibly hunt Foundation Establishment monsters again, it would be easy for something to go wrong.

It's been several days since I last saw that adorable little swordsman.

Clicking on Xiao Jingxi's save slot, Ji Nanbei's vision went dark. When he opened his eyes again, the familiar room came into view.

"You're here! Why haven't you come the past few days? Did something happen to you?"

As soon as Ji Nanbei arrived, Xiao Jingxi's voice rang out, revealing obvious urgency.

After a brief moment of adjustment, Ji Nanbei replied:

"I'm fine, just taking care of some odd jobs."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingxi breathed a sigh of relief.

Ji Nanbei hadn't shown up for the past few days, and she thought something had happened to him, which made her very anxious.

However, there was no use in being anxious—she knew almost nothing about Ji Nanbei, not to mention his name, she didn't even have a single clue about his voice or figure.

Fortunately, Ji Nanbei was unharmed and returned to her body as usual.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jingxi suddenly stopped.

"You...you're seeing someone else!"

Ji Nanbei was taken aback by the question.

He immediately realized that Xiao Jingxi probably thought he hadn't come for the past few days because he had gone to be with someone else.

In fact, it's not entirely wrong.

But this statement...

Something feels off.

It unexpectedly made him feel a little guilty.

Hmm? Why would someone who has possessed another body feel guilty?

Ji Nanbei simply responded directly:

"Yes, I went to someone else's place to take care of some things."

"How could you do this!"

Xiao Jingxi protested.

"Why not? You have what I want, and others certainly have it too. You're all my treasures!"

Wow, that's such a jerk!

Ji Nanbei felt increasingly strange—he was clearly just possessing someone else's body!

"Waaah... She's a vixen, isn't she!"

"Huh? How did you know?"

Ji Nanbei was stunned for a moment, wondering how Xiao Jingxi knew about Su Qianxue.

Xiao Jingxi was completely baffled by this rhetorical question.

What on earth is all this?!

In the end, the two, whose channels were completely different, calmed down.

"From now on... can you only... only have me on your account?"

Xiao Jingxi suddenly asked softly.

Ji Nanbei: ? ? ?

Young lady, what you said is quite dangerous!

What outrageous remarks!

Ji Nanbei coughed lightly.

"No, that won't do." Though it was somewhat cruel, he still refused.

He didn't want to deceive Xiao Jingxi, so he decided to be ruthless.

Xiao Jingxi visibly became dejected.

Ji Nanbei had no other choice but to explain:

"If I don't go to someone else, my situation will be very difficult, so I have no choice but to do this."

"I can protect you!"

Ji Nanbei smiled helplessly.

That's just childish.

Just as I was about to explain further, there was a noise at the door.

It sounded like someone was knocking on the door.

Ji Nanbei stood up, slightly puzzled.

He was quite familiar with Xiao Jingxi's daily routine. Breakfast time had already passed, and no one should be visiting at this hour.

"Did you make plans with someone?"

Ji Nanbei asked in a low voice.

"no."

Xiao Jingxi was equally puzzled.

So Ji Nanbei walked to the door and opened it.

Standing outside the door was a short girl with chubby cheeks that made you want to pinch them.

Ji Nanbei recognized him as the person he had seen at the banquet in Tai Xuan Hall.

What was it called again?

Oh, right, Bai Jie.

Ji Nanbei then frowned slightly.

If I remember correctly, my assessment of this person that day was: the one at the bottom of a delicate love triangle, and the one who harbored hostility towards Xiao Jingxi.

This person actually came to our door on their own initiative?

Want to do it?

Are you going to fight?
