As she spoke, she slowly drank the tea. It seemed like she wanted to finish the entire cup of tea.
"Hey, little b * tch, quickly open the door. What are you doing inside?"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The knocking on the door made Yan Li's head hurt. He glared at Hong Yi and said, "Aren't you a Precious Tool?!" As he walked towards the door, he suddenly saw the bloodstains on the floor.
He was surprised to find that the blood had not completely solidified even after such a long time. The dark red blood was like magma that would not cool down and solidify. Upon closer inspection, it seemed to contain a sense of life.
"Your human blood is mixed with the demon blood," Hong Yi said calmly as if she was explaining.
Anyone who had come into contact with the demon race would definitely recognize it.
Yan Li's head hurt even more. He shouted towards the outside, "I'm bathing. Stop knocking and wait for me in the hall downstairs!"
Hearing the footsteps outside gradually fading away, he heaved a sigh of relief. He immediately found a dry cloth and planned to wipe off the bloodstains on the floor.
"You better stop," Hong Yi said calmly.
Unfortunately, it was too late. The moment the dry cloth came into contact with the demon blood, it immediately burned.
While Yan Li was stunned, the dry cloth had already been burned to ashes. If it was not for the fact that the nearby combustible objects were a little far away, the house would have been instantly ignited.
It seemed like if the blood that came into contact with the wooden boards was not the first to flow out, the Scarlet Moon Restaurant would have already been burned to ashes.
The demon blood actually had the property of self-immolation. Moreover, it would seep down sooner or later. Once the Scarlet Moon Restaurant was burned to ashes, when the Vice Prefectures investigated, his "identity" would be exposed.
Thinking of this, he was at a loss for what to do.
Hong Yi said with a hint of mockery, "Now, only the worm in your head can help you get through this."
"You mean the larva of the Soul Devouring Butterfly?" Yan Li asked.
Hong Yi just drank his tea and did not speak.
Yan Li's heart moved. He took out another larva from his Universe Ring and placed it on top of the demon blood. A miraculous thing happened. As soon as the larva smelled the devil blood, it wriggled its body excitedly. It didn't even bother to fight back against Yan Li. It opened its mouth and sucked.
All the demonic blood and human blood on the ground were sucked into its stomach, and the floor was immediately clean without a trace of blood.
Yan Li immediately relaxed and said, "Thank you."
"Are you thanking me?" Hong Yi asked.
"You actually have larvae in your body, right?" Yan Li asked.
Hong Yi said, "Now that your identity has been exposed, our plan cannot be carried out. Helping you is the same as helping ourselves."
Yan Li said indifferently, "Li Hongzhuang probably didn't expect the Demon Blood to be involved."
Hong Yi's eyes flickered slightly. She stood up and walked to the corner of the wall. She pressed her soft hand against the wall and said, "Take care." Then, she disappeared through the opened door.
After she left, Yan Li looked down at the larva.
At this moment, the larva's body had expanded significantly. If it was only the size of a finger before, it was now like a blood-filled grapefruit. It could be seen with the naked eye that the demonic blood was circulating and burning in its body.
The larva hissed in pain from time to time. A layer of dark red armor gradually grew on its body. Two openings appeared on what seemed to be its back, from which a pair of small bone wings with mucous membrane extended out.
As it changed, its body gradually shrunk, but it didn't return to its original size. It was still the size of a palm, and its body changed from a round shape to that of a long worm.
As Yan Li was engrossed in watching, something strange happened. The larva suddenly flapped its bone wings and pounced at his face with lightning speed. His body reacted faster than he could think. He instantly reached out and pressed the larva to the ground.
Feeling the strong struggle of the larva, he thought that it would be a disaster if he kept it alive. He didn't know when it would backfire, so he might as well kill it.
Just as he was about to make a move, a flash of light suddenly flashed across his mind, giving him a shock.
Backfire!
Backfire!
That's it!
Yan Li's eyes lit up. Didn't the larva perfectly solve one of the two problems that Su Xingyu had mentioned? Didn't that mean that he had a chance to break free from Li Hongzhuang's control? Didn't that mean that he could set up a trap to teach her a lesson?
"Bitch, your luck is at an end!"
He cursed through gritted teeth, but then he calmed down.
According to Su Xingyu, apart from these two problems, the blood ginseng wasn't something that could be found so easily.
His top priority was to find the blood ginseng. Only then could he carry out the next part of his plan.
Thinking of this, he put away the larva, tidied up the room, and went downstairs.
Although the two of them were impatient, considering the condition of Yan Li's body, they cautiously said, "Don't take it too hard. We'll help you think of a way."
Yan Li said, "Let's talk somewhere else."
…
On the other side, in the Lian Mansion on Jinlin Street, Young Master Lian had been enjoying himself more and more after his narrow escape from the gates of hell. He knew that he wasn't cut out for cultivation. It was better to enjoy himself while he was still young. He didn't want to worry about money when he was old.
One evening, he was on a pleasure boat on the lake in his house, having fun with the courtesans. Although the courtesans were all as beautiful as flowers, it was easy to get tired of things that were within his reach.
He suddenly stopped, feeling dispirited. He leaned against a courtesan and put his feet up on the low table. "De Shun, get your ass in here."
De Shun was his attendant. He had grown up in the Lian Mansion and was loyal to Young Master Lian.
The docile De Shun scrambled in and said with a charming smile, "Young Master, I immediately got my ass in here when you called me."
"Mm," Young Master Lian said with satisfaction. Satisfied, Young Master Lian said, "This Young Master is about to die of boredom. Quickly think of something to pass the time for this Young Master."
De Shun might have been subservient, but he was truly thinking of Young Master Lian. He put on a brave face and said, "Young Master, didn't the master bring back a technique last time? It's very weak in fights of magical powers, but if you work a little hard, you might be able to reach Head Bestowment. If you break through, you will be able to live to 120 years old like the master. Why not? "
"Hard work?" Young Master Lian slammed the low table with his feet. "Don't you know that I can't take hard work?"
De Shun put on a long face and did not know how to persuade him.
"Hmph, it's all that Yan Li's fault. How dare he refuse to take me as his disciple!" Young Master Lian's face suddenly darkened. "How am I not worthy of being his disciple? Hmph, when he's rejected by the Court Of Sword, he'll come back and beg me! "
"Hurry up and think. If you can't think of something, I'll let the dogs bite you!"
De Shun put on a long face and thought about it. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. "By the way, Young Master, there will be a large auction in the Precious Treasure Pavilion in two days. I received news that there will be blood ginseng there."
"Oh?" Young Master Lian stood up swiftly. His eyes shone. "The blood ginseng that can replenish a man's blood essence?"
"Yes," De Shun said.
