Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me-Chapter 514 - 476: A Drop of Blood_1
Chapter 514: Chapter 476: A Drop of Blood_1
At dusk.
Lu Chuan lay on the bed, drained of energy, with pale lips and dark circles under his eyes, giving off a feeling of weakness as if a vengeful ghost had siphoned off too much of his vitality.
Yu Sisi lay satisfied on his chest, smiling and saying, "Although a thousand years have passed, I still retain your shape. Our synergy is as perfect as ever. Can you feel it?"
Lu Chuan: "..."
Yu Sisi’s fingers glided over Lu Chuan’s body as she said, "The effect of the Yang Restoration Stone can last a little longer, why not... do it one more time?"
Lu Chuan immediately shuddered and looked at Yu Sisi with a pleading gaze, "Please... spare me... truly, not a drop left..."
Yu Sisi huffed and stood up, draping a white shawl over herself, "Fine, I won’t trouble you further in consideration of your hard day today."
"You rest well tonight, we’ll go to the Devil’s Cave tomorrow."
Having said that, she walked out of the cave.
It was only then that Lu Chuan heaved a sigh of relief. Although Yu Sisi’s allure was truly captivating, she was after all a ghost, and even with the Yang Restoration Stone, it would drain his yang energy. A few more encounters like that, and his life might well be in jeopardy.
After resting for a while, he got up, dressed himself, and took out a bottle of elixir pills from the Demon Suppression Pagoda. He poured out a handful and stuffed them into his mouth.
He then began to circulate his Spiritual Power, starting his recovery process.
Even though Yu Sisi’s consumption of human vitality was terrifying, Lu Chuan, being a Nascent Soul stage cultivator with a Primal Chaos Indestructible Body, could recover from the depletion with relative ease.
However, as he was circulating his Spiritual Energy, he was shocked to find a drop of black liquid in his dantian.
This black liquid emitted an endless aura of yin evil force. Just observing it briefly caused Lu Chuan’s inner evil thoughts to amplify immensely. Within those few seconds, he even felt an impulse to become an utterly evil and wicked overlord, veering towards the path of the Evil Path.
Realizing that something was amiss, he quickly ceased to inspect the black liquid in his dantian, feeling a trace of fear in his heart.
"What is this thing?"
At this moment, Yu Sisi returned to the cave, her soul once again inhabiting Zhong Ling’er’s body.
Seeing Yu Sisi come in, Lu Chuan hastily asked, "Why is there a drop of black liquid in my dantian? Did you put it in my body?"
Yu Sisi did not seem surprised by his question and nodded, "Correct."
Lu Chuan asked, "What is this thing?"
Yu Sisi replied, "You’ll know once you enter the Devil’s Cave. In any case, it’s something beneficial for you."
Lu Chuan uttered somewhat speechlessly, "I just observed it for a moment, and I almost fell into the Evil Path. And you’re telling me this thing is beneficial for me? Isn’t this just a means for you to control me?"
Yu Sisi shrugged her shoulders, "If you say so. Just don’t actively observe it, and it won’t affect you. You’d better not try to remove it from your body; that might cost you your life."
Looking at Yu Sisi’s nonchalant demeanor, Lu Chuan was highly suspicious that this was her way of controlling him.
If things go south after I help her with the trouble in Devil’s Cave, she might use this drop of black liquid to control me.
Then she might just keep me tied to her side for life, using me as a tool to satisfy her desires.
Just thinking about that scenario is unbearably horrifying.
Lu Chuan looked at Yu Sisi with a sense of helplessness and said, "I trusted you so much that I agreed to help you with the troubles in Devil’s Cave, and you have seen how I’ve behaved on this journey—I’ve never had any ulterior motives towards you. And although you forced yourself on me, leaving something so dangerous inside me is really unreasonable."
Yu Sisi, on hearing this, actually got angry and retorted, "That’s right, I’m unreasonable, so what? I don’t trust you, and I want to keep a method inside you so I can control you when the time comes. If you don’t like it, you can leave now. I’m not forcing you to go to Devil’s Cave with me."
Then why don’t you release Ling’er... Lu Chuan sighed and said, "Fine, fine, I’ll cooperate with you, okay? But you have to promise that after I help you with your trouble, you’ll remove this thing from my body."
Yu Sisi glared at Lu Chuan and without another word, turned around and left the cave.
Lu Chuan then communicated with the Tower Spirit through his thoughts: "Tower Spirit, can you tell what this drop of black liquid in my Dantian is?"
The Tower Spirit replied, "If I’m not mistaken, it should be a drop of blood."
"A drop of blood?" Lu Chuan’s eyes widened in disbelief, having never seen black blood before, "Whose blood is it?"
The Tower Spirit said, "It should belong to a very terrifying being. Although this drop of blood contains an astonishing amount of Yin evil force, one must admit that its owner’s realm has reached an unparalleled level. It likely belongs to an ancient almighty power capable of catastrophic destruction."
Lu Chuan was quite surprised and asked, "Can you determine which ancient almighty power it belongs to?"
The Tower Spirit replied, "Although the possibilities are few, it’s still difficult to identify whose blood this is. Throughout history, countless almighty powers have been born, and even I cannot possibly know all of them. This drop of blood could have come from any one of them."
With no other choice, Lu Chuan nodded and asked, "Do you have a way to remove this drop of blood from inside me?"
The Tower Spirit said, "This drop of blood holds a very high position, and using Demon Suppression Pagoda’s power to expel it would likely agitate the force within the blood, and you would be the first to be affected."
"From what I can observe, this drop of blood should not affect you as long as you don’t disturb it. There shouldn’t be any major problems."
Seeing that the Tower Spirit also had no solution, Lu Chuan had no choice but to give up, hoping that Yu Sisi would keep her promise when the time came.
Based on his understanding of Yu Sisi, she probably wouldn’t harm others with such a method. If she did so, there may be another purpose.
"No matter what, let’s first deal with the trouble in the Devil’s Cave and get the Extreme Yin Water," Lu Chuan muttered to himself.
That night, Yu Sisi did not come to sleep with Lu Chuan.
The next morning, Lu Chuan’s condition had returned to its peak, and he continued toward the location of the Devil’s Cave together with Yu Sisi.
After a day’s travel, the two arrived at a desolate and eerie canyon. No signs of animals or plants could be seen here; the sky was shrouded in gloom, and occasionally, there were howling noises like those of vengeful ghosts, making it feel like one had descended into a cold and gloomy hell.
Yu Sisi arrived at a hidden cave entrance, turned her head to give Lu Chuan a look, and said, "Stick close to me."
She then walked into the cave.
Lu Chuan quickly followed her inside, but as soon as he entered, his vision was plunged into darkness. When he came to his senses, he saw Yu Sisi with a dagger, stabbing toward his throat.
