Chapter 499

The meaning of living is to keep the shit warm?

The strange man widened his eyes, clearly not expecting to hear such an explosive interpretation before he died.

Seeing the strange man's reaction, Ye Lin thought he didn't understand, so he explained solemnly again.

"Don't you think so? Everyone is actually a shit gun. Eating is just replenishing ammunition. When you kiss someone, you are less than a meter away from the other person's shit."

"If you don't believe me, you can take a shit right now before you die and touch it to see if it's warm."

Strange man: "......"

He was once a Human Emperor, and after being demonized, he was an existence that demons in the Demon Realm dared not easily provoke.

Now that he was about to die, the thing he did before dying was to take a shit and touch it to see if it was warm. Is this appropriate?

"Not taking one? If you don't, you'll die with shit," Ye Lin added.

Strange man: "......"

Okay, now it's even more inappropriate.

"Trouble... take my corpse back to the Human Clan's territory for burial. This is my last wish. Please." The strange man spoke slowly.

He was not prepared to discuss the meaning of living with Ye Lin anymore; that was just asking for trouble.

As the saying goes, a person's words are good when they are about to die. He believed that his last request would not be refused.

Unexpectedly, Ye Lin patted his chest and guaranteed.

"Burial? Don't worry, I am someone who handles both killing and burying. I guarantee to grind your bones and scatter your ashes, and I guarantee not a single hair will be left in this world."

As soon as the words fell, the dying strange man sat up straight like a flash of light, saying with full breath.

"Fuck! You! Wu wu wu......"

Before the national essence could be uttered, Ye Lin immediately reached out and covered his mouth, saying gently.

"You can't say that, that's a dirty word."

"Come, repeat after me, little mouth, don't talk~"

The strange man widened his eyes, staring fixedly at Ye Lin, as if to remember his appearance deep in his soul.

Then his eyes rolled back, and he completely stopped breathing.

"Dead already? Mrs. Empress, come over for a meal!"

Ye Lin waved at the direction of the Soul-Devouring Empress.

One human and one demon soon finished dividing up this former Human Emperor.

The body was turned into nutrients by endless devouring, and the soul body was also refined into pure energy.

"You protect me closely. I need some time to refine this energy, and I cannot be disturbed during this period."

There was joy in the Soul-Devouring Empress's eyes; the soul energy of this strange man was enough to equal her hundreds of years of hard cultivation.

However, refining such a powerful soul was not an easy task for her either.

"No problem!"

After Ye Lin finished speaking, his whole person stuck to the Soul-Devouring Empress like an octopus.

"How about it? Is it close enough?"

"...... Did I suck your brain out a few days ago? Can you be normal?" The Soul-Devouring Empress rolled her eyes.

"Isn't this the closeness you wanted?"

Ye Lin landed sheepishly.

"Let's go into that cave. Other creatures in the Demon Realm don't know this guy is dead yet, so basically no one will come here."

The Soul-Devouring Empress nodded.

Ye Lin took the Soul-Devouring Empress back to the cave where the strange man lived.

After passing the human-shaped candlestick, the Soul-Devouring Empress began to refine the soul body energy, and Ye Lin guarded her side quietly.

Fortunately, there were no accidents throughout the process. As the days passed, the Soul-Devouring Empress's aura reached a higher level.

"Now only the demonic Qi penetration is left.. /"

There was uncontrollable excitement in the Soul-Devouring Empress's purple eyes. As long as she went through the demonic Qi penetration, she would no longer be the Soul-Devouring Empress, but the Soul-Devouring Demon Empress!

"Thank you!"

The excited Soul-Devouring Empress hugged Ye Lin and kissed him directly.

"Thanking someone like this is very insincere, Mrs. Empress." Ye Lin's mouth curled up.

The Soul-Devouring Empress's cheeks were a bit flushed, and she raised her hand to tuck her hair behind her head, skillfully enough to make one's heart ache.

"Wait, wait a minute! I'm just teasing you, there's still serious business to do!"

Ye Lin hurriedly stopped the Soul-Devouring Empress.

Mainly because he really couldn't get any interest in this place; the surroundings were full of various strange corpses left by the strange man, and Ye Lin hadn't reached that level of curiosity.

"Alright then~"

The Soul-Devouring Empress sighed faintly, biting her red lips, her pair of purple eyes shimmering with water, looking at Ye Lin with grievance.

"Hey, following you, I can't even get enough to eat."

Ye Lin's eyes went straight; he hadn't expected that the high-and-mighty Soul-Devouring Empress would have such a side.

"Don't worry, when we're done here, I'll teach you how to make crispy, bursting, super creamy cream horns."

Ye Lin pulled the Soul-Devouring Empress and continued to explore deeper into the cave.

He couldn't wait to see if the old Demon Venerable's corpse that the strange man mentioned was true or false?

Deep in the cave was a space excavated by hand, filled with a faint stench of rot, and the ground was covered with the skins of demonic creatures.

Clearly, this was the place where the strange man lived, ate, drank, and shat.

And at the end of this space, there was a corner. Ye Lin turned along the corner and walked to the end, only to see that at the end of the cave, there was a stone platform.

On top of the stone platform lay a withered bone quietly.

The Soul-Devouring Empress suddenly stopped, and her face turned deathly pale.

"What's wrong with you?" Ye Lin asked with concern.

"I... I don't know... seeing that withered bone, I suddenly felt especially afraid, I can't control it..."

The Soul-Devouring Empress's breathing became extremely rapid.

Ye Lin's pupils shrank violently.

Judging from the Soul-Devouring Empress's reaction, the strange man really didn't lie to him. This withered bone was very likely that of the old Demon Venerable.

"Then you wait for me here."

Ye Lin walked up alone. The old Demon Venerable had clearly been dead for a very long time, and even the energy on the corpse had dissipated between heaven and earth, leaving only a faint trace of demonic might.

Even a trace of demonic might from many years after death could scare the Soul-Devouring Empress to a deathly pale face, which was enough to show how terrifying this old Demon Venerable was when he was alive.

But such a powerful existence was killed silently.

The guy who killed him was still using his identity to continue ruling the Demon Realm, which was simply terrifying to think about.

This also made Ye Lin even more wary of the current Demon Venerable.

"Ye Lin, what exactly is the origin of this withered bone?" The Soul-Devouring Empress couldn't help but ask.

She really couldn't understand why a withered bone would make her so afraid.

Ye Lin raised his hand and decomposed the withered bone completely, destroying the corpse and erasing the traces.

"What withered bone? Where is there a withered bone? You must have seen it wrong. Today, we saw nothing, understand?"
