Chapter 37: The Blood Fiend Ancestor

  No way, it seems like I got a good deal, anyway, it's alright.

  "Let's just forget what happened earlier, got it?!" Xun suddenly turned icy, startling me. Is she mad now?!

  "Nothing just happened, you know." Xun didn't say anything else, she just quietly ate her fries and occasionally took a sip of Coke. After a long time, her icy face finally showed some signs of thawing.

  Just then, Xu Xiang suddenly stood up and blurted out a sentence: "I've finished eating, goodbye!" After that, she left. Originally I wanted to catch up with her, but after thinking about it, I gave up.

  After all, being kissed out of the blue for no reason would make anyone angry, let alone the school belle.

  It's better to wait until she calms down before apologizing, as explaining now would only make things more confusing.

  Women, really can't figure them out.

  Xu Xin left, and I didn't need to stay anymore. I asked the waiter for a bag, packed up the "Kaifeng dishes", and took the bus back home.

  Throwing things on the table with an excited face, compared to the awkwardness of eating with Xun Xin, I care more about the pseudo-ling stone.

  He pulled out the jade pendant from his pocket, damn it! This appearance is really an insult to the audience!

  What the...! What's going on? I was just observing the spiritual stone when I suddenly found a small ring on my finger.

  Isn't this the wooden ring? Damn! Forgot I returned it to the boss already.

  This thing doesn't look like it's worth much money whether from its appearance or size, maybe the boss thought of it as a small gift and gave it to me at that time.

  Although I thought so in my heart, I still casually put it on the table.

  "Mei'er, come out!" With a flick of her fingers, the necklace on her neck popped open, and Mei'er transformed into human form, appearing before me.

  Handed that jade pendant in front of Mei'er, smiled and said: "You refine it, see if you can untie the third tail!"

  Actually, I'm quite conflicted inside. I don't know what kind of power Meier will recover to if she unseals the third tail's seal. If she unseals the third tail's seal, she can leave my side. I hope there will never be a day when it is unsealed...

  But I'm also afraid that Mei'er's strength is not enough, and she'll be caught by that old man who spoke nonsense like he did back then. Although I, Xia Tian, am selfish, I haven't reached the point where I'd restrict others' freedom for my own sake. So, I've decided to let Mei'er refine the spiritual energy in this jade pendant and unseal it.

  Mei seemed to have not expected my actions, stunned for a moment, her eyes reddening slightly. I was about to speak up to comfort her when Mei smiled and said: "Big idiot, this pseudo-spirit stone has no effect on me. The spiritual energy inside can only be absorbed by humans."

  "Is that so......" I felt a little disappointed, but more excited. Am I being selfish? No, if I have enough strength, even if Mei's seal is not lifted, I can still protect her!

  "Now sit cross-legged, hang the jade pendant on your chest, and then follow the breathing method I taught you to circulate the true energy inside your body." Mei'er said to me, half-kneeling on the sofa.

  Following Mei'er's instructions, she sat cross-legged on the ground, with a jade pendant hanging from her neck, her lips slightly parted, and began to draw in the true energy within her body.

  "Right, I haven't swept the floor yet, have I? Won't my pants get dirty? Just as I was thinking this, Mei'er's voice came over: 'Collect your thoughts!'"

  "Heh heh......" He let out a dry laugh, calming his thoughts and slowly circulating his true energy to absorb the spiritual energy from the jade pendant.

  As expected, at the moment when the true energy just came into contact with the jade pendant, a thick and rich spiritual energy overflowed from the cracks of the jade pendant.

  Then, driven by the true energy, it enters from the nose, travels throughout the body, and finally slowly settles in the dantian. The whole body feels exceptionally comfortable, just like after a run, you go to take a sauna, and coincidentally, there is also a sexy female massage therapist who uses her white and tender hands to caress your entire body.

  Although I'm still a rookie, the feeling at this moment is absolutely more enjoyable than the love between men and women! Besides, that thing requires you to swing your waist back and forth to get pleasure, while this one just needs you to sit on the ground and breathe.

  I greedily absorbed the spiritual energy emitted by the jade pendant, and as time passed, I felt my whole body covered in sweat, sticky.

  "Ah!" Just as he was about to stop absorbing the true energy and go take a bath, a sudden anomaly burst forth.

  "Ah!!!!!" A sharp pain filled my brain, and Mei'er beside me saw my condition and asked with concern: "Xiàtiān, what's wrong?"

  I crouched on the ground, with a severe headache that made me almost unable to speak, only subconsciously enduring the pain.

  "In the summer, don't scare Mei'er!" Mei'er was getting anxious, but I had no way to respond now. I felt like my head was going to explode, but it couldn't, and just kept swelling back and forth, torturing me."

  "Hahaha! My Blood Ancestor has finally emerged!" Just as I was about to faint, a somewhat worn-out voice appeared in my mind, and before I could ask anything, I fainted...

  But it seemed like in the next second, I woke up, and that pain seemed to have never appeared before, and everything just now seemed to be my illusion.

  "What a powerful soul, heaven has indeed been kind to me. I've just awakened and already received such a great supplement!" A low, mysterious voice appeared in my ears once again.

  Some unbelievable things rose up, an old man with a tattered shirt, fiery red hair and three-foot-long beard appeared before my eyes. Awesome! Dressed so avant-garde. And where I was, it was pitch black, not at home.

  "Who are you?" I asked somewhat nervously to that old man who was dressed in a somewhat punk style.

  This dark space, I seem to have been here before, should be the so-called Zi Fu, but it shouldn't be Mei Er's, because there is no sign of Mei Er here, only this self-proclaimed Blood Killer Old Ancestor, a ruthless old man.

  "Me?" The old man raised his eyebrows and burst out laughing, but suddenly stopped abruptly, his face turning gloomy as he stared at me: "The one who will send you to the afterlife!" He then transformed into a bloody shadow and charged towards me.

  "What the...! This isn't right!" Isn't he supposed to say a few more lines before going after the main character? How did it come to me and I just started doing it?! My mind was full of thoughts, but my body didn't hesitate at all, and I rolled and crawled away to the side.

  At this time, who still cares about dignity? It's good enough if you can survive!

  From the old man's words, I roughly understood that this old guy is trying to swallow me up to strengthen his own soul, but damn it, where did this old man come from!

  "Hey, kiddo! Hah... hah... you're quite capable, don't run!" The old codger's hands were on his knees, panting heavily as he spoke to me. My situation wasn't much better either, I was also half-dead from exhaustion, and I replied to the old codger: "Not run? Am I an idiot?"

  I've been chasing this old codger around in this dark space for quite some time, and what's exciting is that this old man's speed isn't much faster than mine. Every time I narrowly escape his attacks, it seems that as people get older, whether they're ordinary or cultivators, their hands and feet aren't very convenient.

  But... I'm basically out of energy now, and although that old man also looks exhausted, I feel like it won't be long before I get consumed by this undead old man.

  Mei'er, where are you?! Come and save me quickly! My heart is wailing in distress, but Mei'er still hasn't appeared.

  "Hey kid, let's...let's talk about it, how about we don't run away?" The old man plopped his butt down on the ground and spoke to me in a negotiating tone. I also sat down with a thud: "If you're not chasing me, then I won't run away!" On the surface, I pretended to be relaxed, but my body was still tense.

  "Then I won't chase you, and you little brat shouldn't run either!" The old man replied with a seemingly pleased tone.

  "That's right!" He responded perfunctorily to this old fellow, but in his heart he was thinking about where this old fellow came from.

  Considering the situation, this old man should have come out of that jade pendant. Because I absorbed the spiritual energy inside the pendant, it gradually couldn't support the seal inside, and this old undead ran out. This old undead had just come out and didn't have much strength, so he needed to swallow some souls to recover his strength. At that time, I was immersed in the pleasure of absorbing spiritual energy, and I was taken advantage of by this old man.

  "Where do you think you're going!" The old undead suddenly let out a stern shout, transforming into a bloody shadow that charged towards me. Although I was preoccupied with my thoughts, I had anticipated this move from the old undead, so I hastily dodged and weaved.

  "Hey kid, didn't you say you weren't going to run away anymore!" The old man seemed furious, his already-standing-on-end hair standing even more on end.

  "My grass! Didn't you say you weren't going to chase me anymore? Do you really think I'm a fool? I said, at your age, how can your thinking be so simple? I reckon even pigs are smarter than you!" Panting heavily, he scolded the old man in a fit of rage, not caring about anything else. This old fart is really too annoying!

  I don't know if it's because I'm getting carried away, but the more I scold, the more spirited I become. Pointing at that old man, I continue to scold: "I say you have a pretty complex face, how can your IQ be so simple? And..."

  I haven't finished speaking yet, that old man suddenly went completely berserk: "Ah! You little brat, today I'll exhaust my soul's power to cut you into a thousand pieces!"

  "His fists were clenched, his veins bulging, his eyes red, his whole body trembling. Ah, my god! If he starts foaming at the mouth next, you'll be having an epileptic fit! At your age, can't you take care of yourself a bit?" I continued to say, but inside I was nervous to death, seeing that the old man was really angry.

  "Wah wah wah!" The old undead let out a loud cry, and a ball of flames condensed in his hand. As the flames appeared, the old undead's face turned even paler, but a hint of an evil smile played on the corners of his mouth as he stared at me like I was already dead.

  "Hmph!" The old man let out a cold snort and directly threw the fireball in his hand at me.

  "My grass! It's really coming!" I hastily dodged, but suddenly found that the stupid guy's low IQ was worrying, and his legs were also surprisingly agile! Damn it! As soon as I turned around, I felt my calf go soft and fell to the ground, and that ball of flame was less than six feet away from hitting my body. At this moment, there was only one thought in my mind: "I'm done!"
