Chapter 111

Surging blood-colored Source Power poured into his body, and a layer of blood-colored flame burned on Qin Jiang's skin, but he did not feel the slightest sensation of burning, only feeling his entire body wrapped in a warm, balmy heat.

This feeling was extremely wonderful, as if he were floating on the clouds, riding the wind and traveling.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes wide, and his pupils had already turned blood-colored.

"Hmph!"

With a cold snort, the blood flames on his body were instantly swallowed and extinguished by demonic Qi, and the blood-red color that had appeared all over his body faded away.

A moment later, he slowly exhaled a breath, which shimmered with a faint blood-red; by now, his pupils had returned to normal.

He looked at the remaining blood jade fragments in his hand, which had become completely transparent.

Bodhi Blood Jade—it actually had the side effect of eroding consciousness? What exactly was the origin of this thing?

According to records, Bodhi Blood Jade should be a treasure born of heaven and earth, but there was one point of doubt: every time a record of Bodhi Blood Jade appeared, it was consistently the size of a pigeon egg, almost exactly the same.

Added to today's encounter, he did not know if those who had absorbed Bodhi Blood Jade in the past had encountered a situation like today's.

But no one could be certain that those who had absorbed Bodhi Blood Jade were still the same people; perhaps they were disguises, who could say?

Viewed in this light, whether this thing was natural or man-made was truly open to question.

However, he casually brushed away the blood jade fragments from his palm.

The Source Power he had absorbed was real and undeniable. Now, his physical body was three parts stronger than before! Walking out of the cave, Wang Wu and Xiaobai were already refining the power of the Blood Bodhi.

After eating the Blood Bodhi, Xiaobai's rabbit ears stood straight up, and the aura on her body was constantly strengthening.

Beside her, Wang Wu's aura was also gradually stabilizing; although it was not as good as when they first met, it was not far off, and his injuries had already recovered by more than half.

Seeing Qin Jiang, Wang Wu bowed slightly, "Brother Dao, thank you for your help this time; otherwise, my life would have been forfeit."

"You're too polite, it was just a matter of convenience," Qin Jiang laughed.

"That is not so. Although it was a matter of convenience for you, Brother Dao, it saved my life. I, Wang Wu, am not a tiger that does not repay kindness!"

As he spoke, Wang Wu took out a token and handed it to Qin Jiang, "This is the King Token of my Golden Tiger Clan. In the future, you can use this to go to the Golden Tiger Clan, and any request will be granted!"

Qin Jiang looked at the golden token in his hand—a King Token?

Seeing the confusion in Qin Jiang's eyes, Wang Wu crossed his arms over his chest, putting on an inscrutable expression.

"Since things have come to this, I need not hide it: actually, I am the fifth son of the current Tiger King of the Golden Tiger Clan!"

Qin Jiang's expression did not change in the slightest. A full three to five breaths passed before Wang Wu awkwardly lowered his arms, "Not big brother, why don't you have any reaction? Although you Dragon Race are very powerful, you don't have to ignore me, right? I am a prince after all! A son of the Tiger King!"

Qin Jiang glanced at him and nodded slightly, "I know. I will visit when I have time."

*Gasp! * Wang Wu felt his breath hitch; his mouth trembled, and he opened it, not knowing what to say.

Stunned for a while, he bowed slightly, "Brother Dao, although I have recovered, there is still residual Weird Qi in my body, and I need to return to the clan, so I will take my leave here."

"Mm, go slowly."

Wang Wu stomped his feet in resentment. Think of him, a son of the Tiger King, who had even become a Mountain Lord after running away—when had he ever been looked down upon like this? It was truly bullying! Bullying to the extreme! "Hm? You're not leaving yet?"

"Alright, I'm going now."

After Wang Wu left, Qin Jiang looked in the direction he had departed; it seemed... not all Demon Race were meant to die.

Shaking his head, he looked at Xiaobai, whose rising aura had gradually leveled off; her refining of the Blood Bodhi had reached its end.

If the previous Xiaobai had only just entered the realm of a Great Demon, then now she was a Great Demon comparable to a fifth-tier Secret Martial Artist.

It had to be said that this Blood Bodhi was indeed infinitely effective for those below the seventh tier.

"Hm? Where is the Mountain Lord?" Xiaobai opened her eyes, looked around, and asked.

"He returned to his clan's territory," Qin Jiang said.

Xiaobai was stunned upon hearing this, then nodded with some disappointment, "He left, huh."

"Mm, do you want to come with me?" Qin Jiang asked.

A Great Demon comparable to a fifth-tier Secret Martial Artist could still tidy up the courtyard.

"No," Xiaobai said without hesitation.

"Alright then," Qin Jiang nodded. "It's a pity; after Wang Wu leaves, I suppose no one will protect you. I think the next time I see you, you might just be a pile of bones? Or maybe not even bones left." Xiaobai's pupils filled with panic, "You... you don't talk nonsense! They... they are all very good to me!"

"Are they good to you, or are they afraid of Wang Wu?" Qin Jiang laughed.

Xiaobai swallowed, her gaze shifting back and forth constantly.

"It's a pity; I had intended to take you to taste the delicacies of Ning'an. Come to think of it, I am quite a wealthy man; I don't even know how to spend my money."

"Re... really? You're not lying to me, are you?" Xiaobai lowered her head, but her gaze kept shifting toward Qin Jiang.

Human candies were so delicious! She had eaten quite a few of those pink candies!

"Suit yourself."

Having said that, Qin Jiang walked straight toward the outside of the valley.

"Hey! Wait for me! I didn't say I wasn't going! Hey, hey, hey! Don't fly! I don't know how to fly! I beg you! Take me with you! Take me with you!"

Ning'an City, city gate.

"So this is a human city! It's so big! It's so pretty! What is that? Can it be eaten?"

Xiaobai pointed excitedly at a stall selling lanterns.

"That's a lantern; it cannot be eaten."

"Over there, over there!"

"That's a candle... you can try it."

A moment later, the two joined the line heading into the city; Xiaobai held a sugar figure in her hand, licking it from time to time.

*Tap, tap, tap! * Rapid footsteps sounded, and a person clad in black armor came sprinting from the city gate.

"Fourth Master! You have returned!" The person knelt on one knee directly, causing the people around Qin Jiang to glance sideways and scatter in all directions.

"Who are you?" Qin Jiang looked at the person.

"This subordinate is a clerk under the Fifth General of the Black Armored Army!" the person said.

"What is the matter?" Qin Jiang asked.

"Third Master gave orders that the Xu family you asked to keep an eye on arrived in the city a few days ago!" the clerk said.

Qin Jiang's expression brightened upon hearing this, "Where are they?"

"In Ping'an Ward; that place originally belonged to the Xu family!"

Cloud Crane Courtyard, Xiaobai lay in the pavilion, with a mountain of various snacks and pastries piled before her.

Qin Jiang sat in the pavilion writing something.

Come to think of it, this was his first formal visit, so he naturally had to be more solemn.

In my own name? I'd probably be turned away at the door, right? After thinking for a moment, he took out the Green Fire Lord's seal and stamped it at the end of the visiting card.

"Someone come."

Xiaobai stood up upon hearing this.

"I wasn't talking to you."

"Oh." Xiaobai continued to lie down.

*Tap, tap, tap! * "Fourth Master, what are your orders?" A Black Armored General walked in and asked.

"Help me deliver this visiting card to the Xu family in Ping'an Ward," Qin Jiang said.

"Yes! Fourth Master!"

After the Black Armored General left, Qin Jiang thought for a moment, stood up, and walked toward the outside of the courtyard.

"Xiaobai, watch the house; I'm going to buy some gifts."

"Mm, bring me something good to eat!"
