Chapter 44: Using the Body as a Field to Nurture the Demon Seed Blood Lotus!

"Master, what are you all talking about!"

"What exactly is wrong with Xiaoxiu's body!"

Ning Xiaoxiu said in a panic.

Ning Mu frowned, sighed, shook his head, and said: "Xiaoxiu, this Young Master does not know your past experiences, but I imagine you must have held a prestigious position in the Blood Lotus Sect, with no one daring to provoke you. It is not that they feared you, but rather that the person behind you—that is, your Sect Master—was excessively doting on you."

"The reason for this, I suspect, is likely because you are planted with the very thing he needs most!"

Having said this, Ning Mu paused, thought for a moment, looked at Liuli, and asked: "Master, what exactly is the function of this Demon Seed Blood Lotus?"

Liuli sighed, looked at Ning Xiaoxiu, and spoke slowly.

"This nun has only seen it in ancient texts. Although the Demon Seed Blood Lotus is a demonic object, its effects are actually immense. It is rumored that once it fully matures, a single petal is enough to bring the dead back to life."

"That ancient text records: The Demon Seed Blood Lotus, lotus seeds from the heart, lotus roots from the spine, lotus leaves from the blood, lotus flowers from the skin; with abundant spiritual waves, it can grant longevity!"

"The implication is that whichever part of the body has a problem, one consumes the corresponding part of the Demon Seed Blood Lotus!"

"And 'abundant spiritual waves, can grant longevity' can be understood as: once the Demon Seed Blood Lotus reaches the fully mature stage, it is filled with spiritual energy like a surging river, which can even allow a person to attain longevity."

"I presume that apart from the occasional sudden abdominal pain, you are basically immune to all illnesses, and this mark on your belly has gradually grown larger as you have aged, and its color has also gradually deepened, is that correct?"

Facing Liuli's inquiry, Ning Xiaoxiu nodded subconsciously, almost without thinking.

It was indeed so.

From childhood to the present, she had never been sick, except for the abdominal pain.

And this birthmark on her belly, needless to say, was exactly as this nun described!

From when she was a child and it was only around her navel and very pale in color... to now, where this bewitching red is dizzying, and the two lotus seeds at the top are almost spreading over her chest! At first, she had wondered, since it was a birthmark, why would it grow larger as her body grew?

Later, she became accustomed to it and stopped looking into it!

At this moment, listening to the conversation between the nun and Ning Mu, she finally understood.

This lotus... is not a birthmark! It was planted in her body by someone! Who?

There was no need to think; the only people who could have had contact with her body when she was young and ignorant of the world were her father, Pusa Qinlong, and her mother, Wan Wu'er!

Expanding the scope a little, that would also include a few uncles and aunts.

As the Sect Master of the Blood Lotus Sect, Pusa Qinlong had a pathological obsession with Cultivation Points; he was the most likely candidate! At this moment, Ning Xiaoxiu was stunned! She did not fear death.

Compared to humiliation, she would rather die, but under Ning Mu's imprisonment, she did not even have the chance to die! But she was even more afraid of betrayal! She knew that she was not her parents' biological daughter; she was picked up by her father on a rainy night.

But over these years, her parents had treated her as their own and had been very good to her.

Even better than to their own biological children!

When she was competing for the position of Saintess of the Blood Lotus Sect, her elder sister, Bosayouyu, and her cousin, Pusa Tan'er, were both competing.

But at the final moment, they seemed to have agreed beforehand and withdrew simultaneously.

Under the decision of her adoptive father, she successfully ascended to this position of being below one person but above ten thousand! And it was not just that.

Over these years, instances where her adoptive parents wronged their other children for her sake had occurred from time to time!

At the time, Ning Xiaoxiu only felt that they were doting on her excessively.

Now it seemed, how was this doting? It was clearly because they were worried about their medicine field being damaged.

Worried that the Demon Seed Blood Lotus they had planted in her body would be harmed!

No wonder she had to act as a 'man-eater' all these years, devouring the vitality of those courtesans in brothels everywhere! While others in the sect who also practiced the Blood Origin Demon Art did not have to do so at all! It was all to nurture this Demon Seed Blood Lotus! At this moment, Ning Xiaoxiu understood completely!

And after understanding, she felt as if a knife were gouging her heart! Seeing Ning Xiaoxiu completely stunned, her eyes vacant, and two lines of clear tears slowly streaming down, Ning Mu sighed and shook his head.

Xia Chan also looked at this girl, who was even younger than herself, with eyes full of sympathy. Looking at the Blood Lotus mark on her belly.

It would probably be fully mature in a year or two at most, right? Doesn't that mean... if she hadn't fallen into the Young Master's hands, she would have perished in a year or two at most?

She did not know whether to call her lucky or unlucky!

"Senior, is there a way to cure her?"

Ning Mu looked at Liuli and asked.

Liuli nodded.

"There is."

"There are two methods."

"The first is to find an Extreme Yang technique, cultivate it to completion, and then devour the Demon Seed Blood Lotus."

"But during the cultivation process, yin and yang will repel each other, and the Demon Seed Blood Lotus will constantly devour the host's Qi, blood, and cultivation to grow itself; this process will cause her excruciating pain!"

"And judging by the current situation, she must at least cultivate to the Inner Profound Realm before she can devour this Demon Seed Blood Lotus. For the sake of safety, when devouring it, she will also need the help of an expert in Yang-type techniques. This nun could do it, but even if this method eventually resolves the issue, it will cause her Extreme Yin Body to return to an ordinary state!"

Liuli said calmly.

Inner Profound Realm...

Opening Apertures, Qi Sensing, Meridian Clearing, Great Circulation, Inner Profound, Sitting in Reflection...

That is to say, she must at least cultivate to the fifth realm!

Ning Mu raised an eyebrow and said: "I'm afraid there isn't enough time. She currently has no cultivation at all, and cultivating to the Inner Profound Realm is not something that can be done in two or three years. Looking at the state of this Blood Lotus, I'm afraid the time of its maturity is not far off, right?"

Liuli nodded and affirmed: "In as little as half a year, or as long as two years, this Demon Seed Blood Lotus will definitely mature!"

"Then what is the second method?" Ning Mu asked hurriedly.

At this moment.

Ning Xiaoxiu, who was on the couch, also recovered from her stupor.

No one could understand what kind of mental journey she had just experienced during this time.

But from her resolute little face at this moment, and those apricot eyes containing infinite anger and hatred, it could be seen that she had completely accepted all of this and had even prepared for revenge!

Ning Xiaoxiu suddenly got up, and naked, she knelt straight down in front of Ning Mu.

"Master!"

"Before, Xiaoxiu did not treat you with sincerity, and even wanted to resist, but now... Xiaoxiu has decided to follow by your side from now on!"

"If it weren't for Master... Ning Xiaoxiu fears that until death, she would have been kept in the dark by that pair of hypocritical villains!"

"This servant does not fear death, but this servant does not want to live her whole life in someone else's chess game!"

"This servant is deeply grateful for Master's grace!"

"From now on, whatever Master tells this servant to do, this servant will do!"

"Whatever Master does not allow this servant to do, this servant will not do!"

"But this servant has only one request, and that is... this servant wants to live, this servant wants to excise this Demon Seed Blood Lotus from within her body!"

Having finished speaking.

Ning Xiaoxiu lowered her proudly raised head, prostrated herself completely, and performed a grand kowtow! 【Ning Xiaoxiu】 (End of chapter)
