Chapter 15: Pure Edition Juice. Juice Lady
"If I could travel to some places for swordsmanship cultivation and experience more of the charm of swordsmanship, perhaps it would help me seize that special feeling and comprehend my own sword intent."
Luo Qingyue also nodded slightly, expressing her approval of his words.
"Good. I'm very pleased that you have this heart for cultivation."
She took out a small purple-gold sword and handed it to Jiang Ling. "This is a token that can allow you to enter and leave the Wine Sword Villa. I was once an old acquaintance of the villa owner there. If you encounter difficulties when you go to that place, take this thing to find her, and it may be able to help you a bit."
Jiang Ling looked at the small purple-gold sword in his hand...
On the blade were engraved sword patterns that emitted a faint icy sword energy, and on the hilt were the gilded words "Sword Chief", seeming to be a special symbol of identity.
...
One month later.
Shen Mu unsurprisingly broke through to the late stage of Qi Refining.
At the same time, he also cultivated the Chongtian Art to the second level and began to use pure spiritual power to widen and refine his meridians so that he could accommodate more spiritual power flowing in and out.
"Whew~~"
"With this, I can use higher-level spiritual treasure spells."
Shen Mu felt the abundant spiritual power in his body that surpassed that of his peers at the same stage, and he became a bit more confident about the places he was going to visit next.
"Senior Brother!"
With a "bang", Lin Yuhe pushed open the door vigorously, still being as unrestrained as ever towards him.
As soon as Shen Mu heard the exclamation of the blond girl in front of him, his good mood instantly plummeted, and he said with a bit of helplessness, "What are you shouting about?"
"I've discovered something interesting. Do you want to come and take a look?" Lin Yuhe raised her eyebrows, looking as sly as an old fox.
"No, it definitely isn't a good thing." Shen Mu saw her malicious look and resolutely refused.
Although he had formed a temporary special consensus and cooperation relationship with her a month ago, that didn't mean he would unconditionally obey her.
"What if I say that it's related to the incident where Tang Yueyao secretly ate my Love-Reunion Elixir that night?"
Shen Mu's brows furrowed slightly, and he became a bit interested.
However, he still chose to refuse: "Still not going."
"Eh~?" Lin Yuhe showed a slightly surprised expression on her face.
"But if Senior Brother doesn't go to take a look, maybe she'll climb into your bed and ambush you at night."
As soon as these words came out, Shen Mu immediately got up from the bed and came to her side like a gust of wind. "Let's go."
This simple word fully showed his attention to this kind of special emergency situation.
"Humph~ Senior Brother's face-changing speed is really fast."
"Isn't it because of you that I've become like this?"
...
"Ow~"
In Lin Yuhe's room, Tang Yueyao was eating a fiery red spiritual fruit while occasionally looking uneasily at the two figures beside her with the corner of her eye.
"Senior Brother... Senior Sister..."
"Do you want to eat some too?"
Tang Yueyao picked up a fiery red spiritual fruit on the table in front of her and handed it to Shen Mu, asking with an innocent look on her face.
Shen Mu took a quick look at the fiery red spiritual fruit that emitted strands of pure Yang fire energy and declined with a smile, "No, if you're really hungry, just eat as you like. Don't worry about us."
"Really don't want it?"
"Yes."
"Hmm..."
Tang Yueyao tilted her head slightly, with a trace of confusion in her glistening peach-blossom eyes, and then opened her small mouth and continued to nibble on the spiritual fruit.
At this time, Shen Mu's eyes also slightly darkened, lost in thought.
...
After the two walked out of the room and came to a stream far away from her, Lin Yuhe slowly spoke...
"Look, around the first to the fifteenth day of the lunar month, her craving for things rich in Yang energy will increase greatly, and even her perception ability will also increase a lot."
"And if she doesn't take in a large amount of Yang energy during this period, the basic abnormal manifestation is that she will always be insatiably hungry."
"In this way, it can explain why she precisely stole and ate the Love-Reunion Elixir in my room that night."
Shen Mu remained silent, with memories and thoughts always in his eyes.
Around the fifteenth day... craving for things rich in Yang energy... increased perception ability...
Insatiable hunger... Naturally charming...
Why do I feel that... I've seen similar descriptions in some part of this game...
"Hey, do you think... could this be the manifestation when some special attributes of her physique are activated?"
"..."
Seeing that Shen Mu didn't react much, Lin Yuhe rolled her eyes slightly and slapped his butt from behind. "Hey! Were you listening to me?"
"!"
Shen Mu immediately straightened up, startled out of his reverie, and gave her an annoyed look before silently taking a step aside.
"What were you thinking just now that you were so absorbed?"
Shen Mu shook his head slightly. "Nothing. What did you just ask?"
"I said, could her behavior... be the reaction when some special attributes of her physique are activated?"
Some special attributes of the physique...
Hearing this, Shen Mu seemed to be inspired and had a flash of inspiration, thinking of a kind of monster physique in the "Record of Ten Thousand Spirits and Demons".
"Right! How could I forget that there are still some rather special monsters in this world!"
"Monsters?" Lin Yuhe couldn't help but slightly furrow her phoenix-like eyes.
"Yes, monsters."
Shen Mu recalled the records about the Enchanting Demon in the illustrated book.
"The Enchanting Demon, as the name implies, is a Yin monster known for its charming arts. It often appears in the Qingbai Mountain Range in the Ten Thousand Spirits and Hundred Rivers area and lives by sucking the Yang energy of passing living beings."
"Especially for male human cultivators, they like them very much."
"They often transform into beautiful women in distress to seduce them and make them fall into the charming world from which they can't extricate themselves."
"Finally, they will suck up all their Yang energy alive and turn them into cold corpses."
"However, even for such a monster."
"Some cultivators take advantage of their relatively strong craving for things rich in Yang energy and their perception ability that is far superior to other monsters to capture and tame them and enlighten their spiritual intelligence."
"Let them obey their own orders and search for spiritual treasures rich in Yang energy for themselves."
"Or... to satisfy their own desires, let them become an excellent tool for cultivating the Yin-Yang Great Way and combine with them in cultivation."
"But after combining in cultivation, some people found that such monsters could actually give birth to offspring with a combination of human and monster bloodlines, and gradually such things became less common."
"After all, having one's human bloodline mixed with that of a monster from another race will surely be despised and loathed by others."
Hearing this, Lin Yuhe faintly sensed some subtleties and her face gradually became solemn. "Could it be that... she is the offspring with the bloodline of an Enchanting Demon?"
"I'm not sure about this. After all, regarding Tang Yueyao's personal background, it hasn't been mentioned where her origin is and who her parents are."
Shen Mu could understand this problem to some extent. After all, it was a cultivation game with many game characters, and it was impossible for the design of the character backgrounds to be completely detailed.
"How about... we think of a way to test her?"
"If it's really the case, we might be able to witness the birth of an innocent and pure version of a 'juice squeezer'."
