Chapter 86: The Nudi's Envy

"Zhang... Brother Zhang... what have you done to me?"

Hu Mei'er's voice grew weaker and weaker.

She felt her body being hollowed out, and an unprecedented sense of fear surged into her heart.

Zhang Yi, however, turned a deaf ear and continued to absorb her energy.

Not until Hu Mei'er had only one breath left did he slowly withdraw his palm.

He could not cause too much of a scene at the Demon Saint Mansion, otherwise, it would violate the rules of the Demon Saint Mansion.

Looking at the shriveled Hu Mei'er, a flash of disdain crossed Zhang Yi's eyes, "Idiot, did you really think I would give you benefits for nothing? How naive!"

He bent down, grabbed Hu Mei'er by her fox fur, and threw her out.

Hu Mei'er's face was full of anger.

But she no longer had the strength to be angry.

The energy in her entire body now was barely enough to support her standing up.

Let alone fighting Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi watched Hu Mei'er lying limp on the ground, sneered, and said with a playful tone: "What? Still want to lie on the ground and play dead? Don't forget, this is my territory. If you don't get up, I can't guarantee what I might do."

Hu Mei'er raised her head with difficulty, her eyes filled with resentment.

But her weak body did not even have the strength to stand up.

She gritted her teeth and squeezed a sentence out through her teeth: "Zhang Yi, you... you will die a horrible death!"

Zhang Yi squatted down and mocked, "Hu Mei'er, I advise you to be sensible. Don't think I don't know what scheme you are plotting in your heart.

Want to run to the Demon Saint Mansion to complain?

Do you think they will still believe a vixen like you?"

Zhang Yi let go, stood up, looked down at Hu Mei'er, and continued: "Let me remind you again, after I swallowed the Demon Core by the Arena, I left the scene, many Demon Beasts saw it, and even the Demon Saint Mansion guards present should have seen it."

"And you, you appeared in my resting area and turned into this ghostly state, what does that mean?"

"It means you came to find trouble with me, you brought this upon yourself, you can't blame anyone else. Do you think the people at the Demon Saint Mansion will favor you?" Hu Mei'er certainly knew.

Although she wished she could tear Zhang Yi into ten thousand pieces, she also understood that everything he said was the truth.

A family as large as the Bear Clan had been disqualified from the competition by the Demon Saint Mansion, let alone their Fox Clan.

If she really caused trouble and led to the entire Fox Clan being unable to participate in the competition, the loss to the Fox Clan would be huge.

Hu Mei'er's heart was filled with unwillingness and anger, but she could only swallow her teeth and stomach the bitterness.

She knew that this time she could only suffer in silence.

"What? No more words? It seems you also understand the stakes involved."

Zhang Yi watched Hu Mei'er's aggrieved look, feeling a burst of pleasure in his heart.

Hu Mei'er glared at Zhang Yi fiercely, but had no strength to retort.

She struggled to stand up and walked out shakily.

Without energy to support her, she had to pant for a long time after every step, and rest for a long time, looking utterly wretched.

Zhang Yi watched Hu Mei'er's difficult departing back, turned around, returned to his room, and sat cross-legged.

Immediately, he began to refine and absorb the energy plundered from Hu Mei'er.

As the energy poured in continuously, Zhang Yi felt his strength increasing rapidly.

He felt secretly smug in his heart: Hu Mei'er, this idiot, not only delivered herself to his door to let him absorb energy, but also dared not speak out; just thinking about it was satisfying.

With Hu Mei'er's energy, Zhang Yi felt his body filled with inexhaustible energy.

Besides that, there was also quite a bit of spiritual energy.

Zhang Yi was immersed in the joy of his cultivation base skyrocketing when he suddenly felt his face wet, and a strong smell of bird droppings hit his nose.

He opened his eyes abruptly, a huge bird face was close at hand, and Mother Jubiao was looking at him with excitement.

"Damn! Mom, can you pay attention to your image!"

Zhang Yi wiped the saliva off his face in disgust; this smell was really pungent.

"Oh my, my son is truly amazing! You broke through again! This energy fluctuation, tsk tsk, it's almost catching up to your mother!"

Mother Jubiao didn't care about Zhang Yi's disgust at all, her pair of bird eyes shining as if she had seen sparkling gold.

"That's for sure, don't look at whose son I am!"

Zhang Yi raised his chin proudly, then asked with some confusion, "Where are the others?"

"They all went to participate in the Arena competition, I was just too lazy to go, so I stayed home to protect your dharma."

Mother Jubiao said, and couldn't help but rub against Zhang Yi's face, "Son, you have a future! It looks like we will soon have a Lingfu in the Demon Saint Mansion!"

Zhang Yi felt wonderful inside.

A Lingfu in the Demon Saint Mansion was a symbol of status, rich in spiritual energy, making cultivation twice as effective with half the effort.

By then, let's see who still dares to look down on him!

Just as he was thinking, the door creaked open, and Nudi walked in gracefully.

She was still in her arrogant and cold appearance, her chin slightly raised, looking straight ahead, as if everything in this world could not enter her eyes.

However, when she passed by Zhang Yi, her eyes couldn't help but glance over.

Feeling the surging energy fluctuations on Zhang Yi, her heart trembled: This kid... could he have broken through again?

She looked at Mother Jubiao calmly, with a hint of inquiry in her eyes.

Mother Jubiao understood, nodded with a smile, looking proud of him.

Nudi felt a mix of emotions in her heart: jealousy, envy, and a hint of something indescribable... admiration?

She snorted coldly and turned her head away.

Zhang Yi puffed out his chest, looking smug, and raised his eyebrows at Nudi: "See that? Brother has broken through again! Even if you whip your horse, I'm afraid it will be hard to catch up to my pace, right?"

He deliberately emphasized the word "Brother," just enjoying the sight of Nudi being frustrated.

Nudi let out a cold snort without even lifting her eyelids, "Isn't your breakthrough only because you hogged the Demon Beast core all to yourself? What is there to be proud of?"

Zhang Yi knew this was naked jealousy on her part, and he felt secretly delighted.

Yet on the surface, he pretended not to care at all, humming a tune that lacked any melody.

He walked up to his underlings like the Wind God Pterosaur and waved his hand, "Brothers, just wait and see! In this Arena competition, I must secure a High-grade Spirit Talisman!"

"By then, once we have the Lingfu of the Demon Saint, the Qi will be more than enough, and our cultivation will soar!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a voice full of mockery came over: "Yo, you've got a big mouth! With your third-rate skills, you still want to take a High-grade Spirit Talisman? Stop dreaming! Be careful not to trip over your own tongue!"

Empress Sister leaned against the doorframe, digging out a piece of meat and stuffing it into her mouth.

"Do you know who is going to challenge you tomorrow?"

Nudi said in a cold, icy tone.

Zhang Yi felt a jolt in his heart when he saw the girl's appearance.

However, he quickly calmed down.

He gave a disdainful laugh, "Who cares who it is; the rules of the Demon Saint Mansion are that only Demon Beasts of similar levels can compete in the same Arena, and at this stage, one cannot jump too many levels, so I'm not worried."

Nudi gave a cold sneer, "Let me tell you, it's the King of the Lion Clan!"
