Chapter 1076 – Exit the Pass
After listening to Long Yu’s narration, Snake Mal realized that he had been too naive.
If the other party sensed their intentions, it would be detrimental to their next actions.
“It’s still your lordship’s thoughtfulness, so should I raise the rent a bit to exhaust the magic crystals in her body early?”
Long Yu shook his head, “No need, this point of magic crystals won’t help much, it will also easily cause the other party to be wary, for the time being, let her cultivate for a while longer, she will at most break through to the Earth Demon Realm, this point of cultivation is not enough to worry about.”
“Yes, your lordship has the cultivation of the Heavenly Demon After Realm, and is in charge of the entire Southern District, if not for your lordship’s unwillingness to be governed by others, he would have long ago served a certain Demon King, and left this extra-territorial land.”
Long Yu smiled disbelievingly, “Others see this extra-territorial land as a poisonous scorpion, but in my eyes, there are opportunities everywhere here to earn large amounts of magic crystals, only those wastes who are not strong enough will pin their hopes on others.
Serving the Demon King seems to be honorable, but on the contrary, one’s body can’t help it, even one’s life is at the whim of others.”
Speaking here, Long Yu looked at Snake Mal, “Would you also feel that your life is in my hands, a feeling of being bound?”
Snake Mal was slightly shocked and quickly lowered his head to explain.
“I don’t dare to have such thoughts, my subordinate’s cultivation is low and his abilities are shallow, relying on the blessings of Your Excellency, I have been able to live a peaceful life in this Abyssal City, my subordinate is more than grateful to Your Excellency, how could I have such disrespectful thoughts?”
Long Yu smiled, “It’s alright, no need to be nervous, even if you really have such thoughts, I won’t be angry, you’re very good, you’ll be responsible for monitoring the movements of this Celebrity female cultivator.
There is always a day when the magic crystals run out, it’s impossible for her to stay in the cave and never come out for the rest of her life. As long as she shows signs of leaving the city, or if there are any other emergencies, you can just inform me at any time.”
“I understand, my lord.”
After seeing Long Yu leave, Snake Tail’s face was filled with joy, she couldn’t wait to return to her residence, and after confirming that the formations in her room were in a closed state, she took out the porcelain vase and wooden box that Long Yu had rewarded her with.
She first took the porcelain bottle, and as the lid was lifted, a burst of fatty aroma rushed out.
After carefully confirming what was inside, Snake Tail’s face revealed an uplifted look.
His Lordship had really treated her well, and had even rewarded her with the valuable Dragon Fat Cream!
It was just that with her current cultivation level, she couldn’t use such a precious thing yet, so she could only keep it for now.
Snake Mal closed the mouth of the bottle and lovingly played with the porcelain bottle for a while before putting it away with reluctance, her gaze cast to the wooden box on the side.
Compared to the valuable Dragon Balm, the treasure in the wooden box was slightly inferior, but it happened to be the Blood Stasis Fruit that Snake Mal could use right now.
The Blood Stasis Fruit was very strange looking, it was blood red, the size of a fist, and the surface was covered with some green veins similar to green veins.
What’s even weirder is that these green lines would twist from time to time, making it look a bit creepy.
Snake Mal greedily looked at these Blood Stasis Fruits, and precious took them out of the wooden box, and with a gentle force, the skin of the Blood Stasis Fruits was pinched.
After the Blood Stasis Fruit was pinched, accompanied by a faint fishy odor, maroon juice seeped out from the breach.
Seeing this, Snake Mal hurriedly applied the juice evenly on his body.
The maroon colored juice fell onto Snake Mal’s skin, emitting a “snorting” burning sound, and there were even wisps of green smoke that continuously rose at the contact point between her skin and the juice.
Soon, the skin of her entire body was corroded by the Blood Stasis Fruit’s juice.
Snake Mal’s veins rippled all over her body, her face twisted in pain, and her entire body curled up into a ball uncontrollably.
This process lasted for an unknown amount of time, and finally, the medicinal properties of the Blood Stasis Fruit gradually penetrated her body.
New skin, too, grew back from her body. Snake Mal rolled over and rose up with a satisfied expression on her face.
After absorbing the Blood Stasis Fruit, her cultivation had once again improved, and she was only one step away from the Earth Demon Realm.
Although the process of absorbing the Blood Stasis Fruit was very painful, compared to the increase in cultivation, these pains were not worth mentioning.
After consolidating her cultivation slightly, Snake Mal put her demonic thoughts into the Spying Formation and continued to monitor the movements of that human female demon.
With the degree of importance that His Excellency placed on the superior magic technique, as long as she helped His Excellency obtain the technique, it would definitely be a great achievement!
If His Excellency is pleased, there is a high possibility that he will pass the technique on to her!
Snake Mal suppressed the anticipation in his heart and concentrated on monitoring the human female demon in the cave, refusing to let go of a single detail.
This surveillance was for six whole years!
It had to be said that Snake Mal’s patience was extremely high, six years of day-to-day surveillance had not worn down her patience.
During this period, in order to monitor the movements of this human female devil, she deliberately unloaded the chores of renting the cave, and even temporarily put aside her cultivation.
But all of this effort was worth it compared to the superior demonic skill.
One day six years later, the female cultivator in that cave, after breaking through to the Earth Demon Realm, finally stopped cultivating.
Through the peeping formation, Snake Mal heard her talking to herself.
“Sixteen years have passed, I finally broke through to the Earth Demon Realm, and the magic crystals on my body have also run out……. It’s time for me to get out of the cave and go earn some magic crystals.”
Snake Mal’s spirit was revitalized, she was finally going to leave the gate!
Calculating the time, the magic crystals on the other party should indeed be exhausted, in the past, when she renewed her rent, she paid a one-time fee for five years.
But a year ago when the room fee expired, she only made up a year’s rent, enough to see that its hands are strapped.
Seeing the human female demon get up and leave the cave, Snake Mal withdrew his demonic thoughts from the peeping array, and after a little thought, he touched out a jade talisman, punched a sound transmission into it, and then waited patiently in the room.
Did not wait long, she really waited for the news that the female cultivator of the celebrity race to withdraw from the rent.
After organizing her mind, Snake Mal got up and pushed the door out, with a trace of just the right amount of astonishment on her face.
“I can’t believe I can’t see through your cultivation ……! Obviously the cave you rented has been abandoned, it’s almost impossible to cultivate, it’s hard to believe that when I didn’t know, the city guard array was repaired?”
Xu Chuniang smiled faintly and spoke the words she had thought of in advance, “It’s not that the city guard formation was repaired, in fact, I originally had the cultivation of the Earth Demon Realm, it was only due to my injuries that my realm plummeted.
Right now, after the injuries on my body have healed, my cultivation will naturally be restored.”
“I see.”
Snake Mal nodded in understanding, but in his heart, he was laughing coldly.
If she hadn’t tampered with the other party’s cave, she might have really been fooled by this rhetoric.
A great fall in realm due to injury, thanks to her for coming up with such a good excuse.
Snake Mal spoke as if she had no intention of doing so, “I heard you say that you wanted to return the rent just now, are you planning to leave the city?”
