Who?

Jiang Yao became nervous, but Jiuya beside him didn't look surprised, I saw him smile faintly and said:

Speaking of which, it seems that she still followed Xiao Yao all the way to the vicinity of the Zhou family's villa. ”

The ...... who followed me all the way? I didn't even notice it......

Jiang Yao was shocked, but when he saw the appearance of the figure in the corner, his surprised expression suddenly turned into embarrassment.

I saw that this person who was sneaking around the corner of the street to spy on Jiang Yao was none other than the beautiful ladyboy who had targeted him in the restaurant before.

"Hey~ White pheasant, what are you hiding there? Come here. Jiuya stretched out his hand to greet the figure on the corner of the street, and the figure was slightly stunned when he saw this, and seemed to hesitate, but finally slowly walked out of the corner and leaned over to Jiang Yao and the others timidly.

Tall figure, snow-white skin, well-groomed long wavy curly hair draped over the shoulders, a pair of watery almond eyes are touching, and with a slim white slanted neck top and denim shorts, she is alive and well off an urban hottie with a high return rate, but it's a pity that Jiang Yao has no heart to take it away at all, after all, being stalked by monsters is not a happy thing, even if it is a beautiful ladyboy......

"Nine...... Lord Nine Teeth, Lord Gluttony, I'm sorry, I'm ...... I didn't want to follow you, but ......" The beautiful ladyboy known as the "white pheasant" said and looked at Jiang Yao unconsciously, and saw that the latter had goosebumps.

"What's it? Could it be that you have a crush on him?" Jiuya admired Jiang Yao's embarrassed expression and asked the white pheasant deliberately and mischievously.

"Ah...... No, it's not, you're mistaken. When the white pheasant heard this, a touch of flying light suddenly flashed on the white little face, and he hurriedly waved his hand. "I just...... It's just that he sensed the breath of a corpse dove on him, and he felt a little nostalgic......"

Corpse dove ...... Xiao Yuan?

Jiang Yao was a little surprised, he remembered the wood carving that he kept close to him, which was also the only relic left by Xiao Yuan.

"I see, you have a good relationship with the corpse dove. Nine Teeth nodded.

"The demons living in this city take care of each other, and everyone is sad to hear about the corpse dove......," the white pheasant's eyes dimmed for a moment, and he said weakly as he habitually stroked the diamond stud earring on his left ear. "Actually...... I also overheard some of your conversations, about the murderer behind Xiao Yuan, do you have a clue?"

"I don't know if it's a clue, but there is a human who seems to have encountered a similar situation to the corpse dove, so let's investigate. Jiuya looked at the white pheasant and said calmly.

"I ...... Can I investigate with you?" the white pheasant's eyes lit up with anticipation. "It's easy to get lost in the mountains, I can be your guide, after all, I know the terrain of the mountains and forests very well. ”

"Hmm...... If the demons went to the place where the accident occurred, not to mention the Lingyutai, there should be no complaints on the side of the Demon God Mansion, gluttony, what do you think?" Jiuya thought for a moment and looked at the red-haired man on the side, while the latter shrugged his shoulders and looked indifferent.

"That's okay, that's great! I'm ...... I'll go back and prepare now!" the white pheasant said excitedly, and disappeared as soon as he turned around, leaving only Jiang Yao, who had not figured out the situation, with a blank face.

"That'...... What about me, can you take me too?" Jiang Yao paused and opened his mouth tentatively.

"Well, it depends on his mood. Jiuya covered his mouth and smiled, pointing at the gluttony. "Originally, he was expecting that after giving you the 'power of the beast', he would be able to easily shake the pot and be at ease from then on, but he didn't expect that because your kid didn't want to be a spirit envoy at all, he could only continue to work as a coolie for Lu Jingyi, no, this guy is unhappy. ”

…… Can I be blamed for this?

Jiang Yao couldn't cry or laugh a little, he looked at the gluttony leaning next to the tree and pretending to look at the scenery, and wondered if he wanted to say something to coax this uncle, but unexpectedly, the other party just turned his head, moved his red eyes to himself, and lazily opened his mouth:

"I remember someone who seemed to have said that they didn't want to have anything to do with me again, right? Why did they come to the door on their own in just a few days?"

I'm going, and I'm still holding grudges......

Jiang Yao complained in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything, as the saying goes, "eat people with short mouths, take people softly", who calls himself a request for others?

"That...... At that time, I was angry, embarrassed to ......," Jiang Yao said carefully as he considered his words. "The situation in the deep mountains and old forests that I am going to this time is unpredictable, and the 'Beast Power' you gave me may be able to help......"

"Help?hehe, it's not bad if you don't help, you forgot who wiped your ass the first two times you lost control?" "People who don't even know basic 'cultivation' still want to help? ”

"Repair...... Cultivation?" Jiang Yao was really at a loss at this time, and could only turn his gaze to Jiuya for help.

"Hehe, this can't be blamed on Xiao Yao, although 'cultivation' is a basic compulsory course for every Spirit Divine Envoy, but he has just come into contact with our world, and it is normal for him not to understand. Nine Teeth smiled and played round.

"The so-called 'cultivation' refers to a kind of practice in which human beings can integrate the borrowed power of the demon gods by opening up their own breath veins. For the Spirit Divine Envoy who can borrow the power of the demon god for their own use, the level of cultivation is directly related to the amount and type of demon power they can borrow, and those who cultivate well can even break through their original five element attributes and increase the upper limit of the number of [Shikami], after all, the amount of demon power that each person can borrow at the beginning is limited. Nine Teeth explained.

"For you, Xiaoyao, since you are born with a 'colorless attribute' physique, you can borrow demonic power from various attributes, and even the 'power of fierce beasts', which is your advantage, but also because you have not carried out 'cultivation', the amount of demonic power that can be contained in your body is very limited, and it is also difficult to control the fierce 'power of fierce beasts', which is also the reason why you almost lost control the first few times. Generally speaking, unless you cultivate to a high level, few spirit envoys dare to directly arm themselves with demonic power in the way of [Soul Infusion] like you, which is also for fear that the demonic power will get out of control and cause backlash. ”

"But that time when I was in the final battle with Ah Li, it seemed that I was in good control......"

"That's because of the assistance of the 'Xuanwu Bead'. Nine Teeth said. "Once in a while, there is no problem, but after all, it is not a long-term solution, people with too thin foundations use external force to assist in the forced use of infused demon power, and in the end it is their own life that is consumed, I advise you to practice the cultivation level first. ”

“…… Then what exactly do ...... 'cultivate'?"

"Well, everyone's cultivation method is different from person to person. Generally, 'cultivation' is to gather the breath in one's own body, and after accumulating it, use 'qi' to open up the veins, this kind of cultivation is more like the 'internal strength practice' in martial arts novels, according to each person's different talents, the time to reach the corresponding level is also different. And inside the Spirit Imperial Stage, the level of cultivation of the Spirit Imperial Divine Envoy also directly affects their star rating, and the Spirit Imperial Divine Envoy of three stars and above has basically cultivated to a high level. In addition, cultivation not only makes it easier for people to control demonic power, but it also has unimaginable benefits for humans themselves. ”

"...... benefits?"

"Hmm...... Let's put it this way. Jiuya blinked, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly threw a seemingly clueless question at Jiang Yao. "Guess how old Lu Jingyi, the leader of the Lingyu Stage, is this year?"

"Probably...... More than forty?" Jiang Yao recalled Lu Jingyi's elegant face, and the traces of time did not seem to be obvious to him.

"Haha, don't be scared when you say it, he's three digits old. ”

"What...... What?" Such an eye-catching answer really succeeded in calming Jiang Yao, and in Jiang Yao's heart, Lu Jingyi suddenly had another label of "old monster" in addition to the title of a black-bellied high-ranking official.

"Hehe, for a human like Lu Jingyi who has cultivated to an extremely high level, their physical condition is far beyond people's common sense. Jiuya laughed, as if he had expected Jiang Yao's shocked expression. "Of course, there are only a handful of such people, and high-level cultivation can only be achieved by relying on talent and years of accumulation, I have been in human society for thousands of years, and I have never seen a few top cultivators like Lu Jingyi. ”

"Is it accumulated over the years...... Then for me, I'm afraid I won't be able to use the 'power of the beast' for a long time before I have cultivated my 'cultivation' to a high level?"

"Oh, not necessarily. Jiuya looked at Jiang Yao, and suddenly the conversation changed. "By the way, when you used the 'Beast Power' before, you should have been aware of the energy flow in your body, right?

"Well, there is a ......"

Jiang Yao remembered the ocean of energy in his body, but what he didn't say was that in addition to the gluttonous 'power of the beast', there seemed to be another strange unknown power mixed in this ocean of energy...... Although he himself did not know what it was.

"Your situation is quite special, because you now have a flow of energy in your body, and you also have the assistance of the 'Xuanwu Bead', so for you, you can directly skip the step of 'gathering qi' and use that energy flow to open up the vein, so as to get twice the result with half the effort, which is a shortcut that no one else can envy. Nine Teeth said. "And if you can smoothly control the energy flow of demonic power in your body, then it will also be of great benefit to you in controlling and using the 'power of the beast' in the future. ”

"So good?" Jiang Yao was a little surprised, but soon he was ruthlessly poured cold water on the gluttony.

"Hehe, are you going to buy vegetables when you cultivate?" said with a sneer. "Even if you take a shortcut, it's just a little faster than others, and when you have to practice to fully control the power of the 'fierce beast' before you save people, Zhou Wenhai's grave grass is probably a foot high. ”

"You ......" Jiang Yao suddenly became angry when he heard this, and just wanted to say something more, he saw Tao Tao turn his head and look over, with a smile on his face, which made Jiang Yao have a bad premonition.

"If you really want to come with me, that's fine, but ...... You have to give something to show your ability and sincerity. Gluttony looked at Jiang Yao with malicious intentions, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly.

"I want you to do something. ”
