Chapter 177: Chapter 92: Terrifying Spirit, Hunting Demons

This result made Li Xuan feel somewhat heavy-hearted.

Why?

This result indicated one thing: no matter how strong your body is, if your spirit doesn’t measure up, then from the perspective of the Spirit Attribute, you’re no different than an ordinary person.

The Spirit Attribute seems to exist in a different dimension than "strength, physique, agility."

Afterwards, both of the death row prisoners met with mishaps.

The first prisoner stared at the Nine Scenes Map for half a day and directly became an imbecile.

The second prisoner, after looking at Li Xuan’s painting imbued with a sense of despair for about half an hour, bit his tongue and committed suicide.

If the previous result only made Li Xuan feel heavy-hearted, these two results made him feel fear.

His Spirit Attribute was only 90 points.

If there was a monster with 900 points of spirit who painted a picture and threw it into the human world.

Wouldn’t that be like "The Ring"?

If the monster liked music and hid spiritual power within a song, then...wouldn’t "one song annihilate a city"?

These results led Li Xuan to start adjusting his strategy for allocating points.

He had originally begun placing points towards "strength, physique, agility," but now...he thought it was better to lean towards spirit as much as possible.

If "strength, physique, agility" were lacking, he could still run away, but if the spirit were lacking, he wouldn’t even know how he died.

Later, Li Xuan destroyed the "painting imbued with a sense of despair" and instructed Wei Yao to be cautious in her training before starting to search among the orphans and abandoned infants collected earlier to find suitable children to cultivate.

...

...

Nightfall.

Li Xuan continued carefully cultivating with his wife.

He had been diligently doing this for nearly two months now.

Afterward, he continued pondering on the "Li family enhancement plan."

After this period of testing, the Nine Scenes Map should already be able to enhance the spirit, but how much it can enhance is still unknown.

Besides this, he could have Wei Yao, and the children selected by Wei Yao, worship through incense faith and wish to "become stronger."

As long as he was nearby, he could open the Worshipers’ Divine Realm to directly help Wei Yao and these children through the "long ordinary training phase," quickly elevating them to the level of Secret Martial Arts Martial Artists, and then, with the support of the prime minister’s residence-provided "Blood Qi Pill," "Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill" and such, rapidly elevate his own people.

The curtains lightly fell.

Li Xuan glanced at the person beside him on the pillow and felt increasingly anxious.

The darkness outside the window seemed like fog.

Great Yin could simply be an "island where the ignorant live."

...

...

Early the next morning.

Amidst the smell of smoke, Tian Yuan ate early and drove away in her carriage.

The Little Princess unfolded the map, casting her gaze towards the Qing River outside Xiongshan County, while looking, she said to the maid Shi He beside her, "I heard back in the capital that the fish from Qing River are delicious."

Finished speaking, her expression slightly dimmed, and she said, "It’s a pity Sister Yuan is always busy and has no time to join me..."

Suddenly, she remembered the Great Demon.

A few days ago, the Great Demon would take the concubine of the Wei family out every day, and when they return in the evening, the Wei family member appeared exhausted, deeply flushed.

Thinking about the Great Demon performing such things in the wild daily made the Little Princess feel sick, and she too felt dirty.

As Li Xuan’s wife, Zhao Qingxue could feel that Li Xuan seemed to be secretly doing something lately, like taking prisoners from the jail, and then those two prisoners just disappeared.

Secret Martial Artists were nothing more than being infected by demons and thus turned into demons...

And such beings like the Great Demon who can condense a dual demon form certainly are no longer human.

After all, who can be so terrifying above the bed?

The Little Princess just thought of it as her legs started to tremble.

She hated demons.

But for the peace and stability of Great Yin, she had no choice but to attend to the demons.

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt her stomach churn, a wave of nausea emerging.

Zhao Qingxue immediately squatted down, grasping the cold stone bench with both hands, vomiting a burst of sour water.

After vomiting for a while, she took deep breaths, about to say something, but her stomach churned again, leading to another bout of vomiting.

The maid Shi He beside her urgently called for someone to bring warm water, and after a bit of fuss, helped the Little Princess back into the room.

...

...

A few days later.

The Little Princess lay down.

Li Xuan sat beside her.

Outside the screen, a doctor was taking her pulse.

After a long time, the doctor smiled and said, "It’s a joy pulse, a joy pulse."

After smiling, he stood up and said, "Congratulations, Prince Qing, congratulations, Princess."

Li Xuan also revealed a smile.

But the Little Princess was utterly dumbfounded.

She...she had a child?

Beside the bed, Li Xuan held her hand, speaking to her in a gentle tone.

But the Little Princess didn’t hear a word.

Her complexion pale, in her mind, subtitle after subtitle flashed by.

’She...she actually bore the Great Demon’s child.’

’She was completely defiled by the Great Demon and now carries the Great Demon’s offspring... no, no, the child is innocent.’

Immediately she took a deep breath, clenched her small fists, her expression becoming wretched and pitiful, thinking to herself: Now, my bond with the Demon is even deeper, this country can become more peaceful.

Thus, I must carefully nourish the fetus and bring this child into the world properly. Then...never learn from their father.

As long as I teach the Great Demon’s child well, everything can return to the right path. Mother, Sovereign brother, General grandfather can also rest assured...

...

Coincidentally.

Two days later.

Tian Yuan was also found to have the joy pulse.

However, even with pregnancy, Tian Yuan couldn’t put down the work of the Li family commerce, especially as the Pole Star Commerce Association came once again with a large order, targeting the goods — Firefly Fragrance.
