Chapter 1254: Absorb Demonic Energy! Do You Also Have Demon Bloodline?

"Huh, huh......"

In the villa's living room, Ye Lan breathed heavily.

Her slender fingers gripped the sofa armrest so tightly that her knuckles turned white.

The thin veil was soaked through with sweat, clinging to her undulating curves, outlining a silhouette that stirred blood and heat.

More astonishingly, her heart-shaped tail now unconsciously coiled around her own thigh, the tip brushing her skin and leaving red marks.

Yet even in such agony, she still struggled to shake her head at Xu Jingming's question:

"No... don't call the teacher, I'll be fine in a bit."

The recent combat intensity had been too great, accelerating the revival of her bloodline.

Just now, the effect of her bloodline revival suddenly intensified.

This forced her, who had planned to take a shower before attending the gathering, to remain in the living room and suppress her succubus bloodline.

But who could have expected that this bloodline revival was showing signs of slipping out of control!

That's why she couldn't answer Xu Jingming's call, leading to this scene being witnessed.

As for Teacher Niki:

If she couldn't even suppress the side effects of her succubus bloodline revival, how could she hope to obtain a Law Seed?

So unless it was the final step, she wouldn't let Teacher Niki intervene.

"Uh... you're sure?"

Watching Ye Lan's expression grow even more pained, Xu Jingming hesitated.

"No... don't."

Ye Lan bit her lower lip and shook her head; faintly visible through her purple hair were her ear tips glowing with a pink sheen.

The demonic energy around her grew denser, even forming tangible, eerie purple vapors!

At the same time, Xu Jingming suddenly felt a strong attraction to this demonic energy!

He froze for a moment, then immediately realized.

It was his Purple Nightmare Demon Body craving the demonic energy to break through!

"Even non-pure demon bloodline demonic energy can be absorbed?"

Xu Jingming's expression turned strange, yet he still prepared to try—he stepped toward Ye Lan.

"Don't... don't come closer!"

Seeing this, Ye Lan stepped back hastily, a flicker of panic in her purple eyes.

The side effects of the succubus bloodline are easily resolved—find an opposite-sex partner.

But she refused to do so, choosing instead to suppress it forcibly.

If Xu Jingming came closer now, she wasn't even sure she could continue suppressing the side effects.

"Senior, don't worry—I'm here to help you."

Xu Jingming paused his step, yet continued walking toward her.

As the distance closed, Ye Lan clearly felt the vigorous life force emanating from Xu Jingming.

That masculine aura, brimming with yang energy, made her breathing even more ragged.

Her skin grew even rosier; the long tail behind her writhed restlessly around her waist.

She could feel her reason slipping, unable to hold back her desire.

"Forget it, you're not bad either..."

In the end, desire overwhelmed reason.

A heart-shaped pattern surfaced in Ye Lan's purple eyes, and she stepped forward with her long legs, drawn toward Xu Jingming.

Just as her soft body was about to press against him, Xu Jingming gently placed his right hand on her shoulder.

In an instant, the demonic energy within her surged like a dam breaking, rushing wildly toward Xu Jingming!

"What is this...?!"

The heart-shaped pattern in Ye Lan's purple eyes gradually faded.

Reason returned; she was astonished to find her inner turmoil rapidly calming.

Soon after, the agitation vanished completely.

Yet she still remained in her succubus form!

"The side effect of the bloodline revival is gone?!"

Ye Lan's expression was filled with astonishment; her beautiful eyes stared incredulously at Xu Jingming:

"What did you just do?"

"I don't know—I was just driven by my body's instincts."

Xu Jingming feigned ignorance, wearing a bewildered look.

In truth, his Purple Nightmare Demon Body had already absorbed all the demonic energy and used it to strengthen himself.

But this amount of demonic energy was too little—he'd need to absorb it ten thousand times to break through to To Second Layer.

Still, better than nothing—it was a small gain.

"Body instincts?"

Ye Lan became interested, astonished:

"It seems you, like me, possess hidden demon bloodline—only it hasn't reached the condition for revival yet!

Otherwise, a normal person absorbing demonic energy would immediately fall into demonic transformation.

Once we return to Noah Holy Land, you can ask your teacher to test your constitution."

"There's a possibility—I'll go find Teacher Luwen later."

Xu Jingming nodded, then cleared his throat and said:

"Uh, Senior Sister, wouldn't it be better if you changed your clothes first?"

Ye Lan had been wearing only a thin gauze robe, and the sweat from earlier had made it cling tightly to her skin.

What she wore looked as good as naked—certain sensitive areas were plainly visible.

Those two full curves swayed right before his eyes, and as a young man with vigorous blood and qi,

he found it extremely hard to look away.

"Change clothes?"

Ye Lan followed Xu Jingming's gaze downward.

Only then did she realize—her fair, delicate face instantly flushed deep red.

She had forgotten she had just finished bathing and was still wearing only a gauze robe!

"Sit in the living room for a moment; I'll be right back."

With those words, Ye Lan fled into the bathroom.

"Succubus bloodline—no wonder Senior Sister defeated the Star Level Two experts of the Lingshu Holy Land."

Sitting on the sofa, Xu Jingming had finally understood.

Indeed, cultivators with special bloodlines were utterly overwhelming over ordinary cultivators.

Fortunately, he too possessed a special bloodline.

And one even stronger than the succubus: the Thunder Prison Demon.

"Ding ling ling~~"

His communicator rang—it was Lu Yunji calling.

"Senior Brother Xu, have you contacted Senior Sister Lan?"

He tapped to answer, and Lu Yunji's lovely face appeared before him.

"Sort of."

Xu Jingming glanced at the blurred silhouette reflected on the bathroom door.

He hadn't contacted her—he'd shown up at her door directly.

And he'd accidentally uncovered Ye Lan's secret.

"Good, we've been waiting for you two."

"Alright, we're on our way."

Xu Jingming nodded and ended the call.

A few minutes later, when Ye Lan stepped out of the bathroom,

she had changed into casual attire—the succubus form gone.

Her figure still retained its curves, but no longer so exaggerated; her tail and wing membranes had vanished.

In their place was her usual cold elegance.

Only a faint blush still lingered on her delicate face.

Had he not just seen it, Xu Jingming would never have believed the cold, composed Ye Lan could have such a sensual side.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

Ye Lan softly spoke, her expression slightly uneasy.

She had only intended to change her clothes.

But who knew her undergarments had become so thoroughly soaked…

There was no choice—she had to shower again and change every piece of clothing.

Hence the slight delay.

"No problem, Senior Sister Lu and the others are already waiting. Let's go."

Xu Jingming smiled.

Yet inside, he felt a trace of regret.

Too bad—the beauty he'd just seen had been but a fleeting glimpse.

After this, he doubted he'd ever see it again.
