Chapter 559: The Use of Ke Yin

"Interrogator Xiao Xiao Feisuo, it's been a while."

Interrogator Xiao Xiao Feisuo was clearly overjoyed by Rod's arrival.

She even tossed aside her beloved bloodstained tooth-extraction forceps, and flew circles around Rod's head.

Dragonfly-like crystalline translucent wings carried white specks of light, paired with her brightly colored dress.

Just like the little fairy beside the Princess in a fairy tale.

If only Interrogator Xiao Xiao Feisuo weren't covered in blood.

And it would be even better if she weren't wearing two bloody, mangled front teeth at her waist.

"Lord Rod!"

Interrogator Xiao Xiao Feisuo replied excitedly.

Her Common Tongue wasn't very good — she had only formally started learning it after the Tooth Fairy Rosalia left.

Now she could manage some ordinary conversation.

Rather, the Tooth Fairies here were either missing limbs or lacking in intelligence.

They seemed to be survivors Rosalia had rescued from a massacre.

Interrogator Xiao Xiao Feisuo looked at the dog-girl Sharron, who was gnawing on the hand holding Rod.

She asked, puzzled: "Mistress?"

But clearly, she wasn't very precise with some of her word choices.

Rod's face darkened, and he coaxed patiently:

"Not a mistress — based on physical and emotional foundations, freely falling in love with each other — what kind of relationship is that?"

"Lovers!"

"No, it should be partners or husband and wife."

Sharron's teeth, which had been gnawing on the hand, froze.

She loosened her bite.

She looked at Rod unhappily: "Proposing to me in a dark, damp dungeon like this, through the mouth of a little fairy who can't speak properly? I won't accept."

"What are you thinking, keep gnawing."

"Hmph, stop squirming around. If you're going to grind teeth, do the job properly — what are you wiggling about all day for?"

The pup liked gnawing fingers and palms.

Rod always liked to tease the pup's warm tongue with his fingers.

Interrogator Xiao Xiao Feisuo flew in front of him and kissed his cheek.

She tilted her little head.

In her puzzled expression, that delicate face carried both the cruelty of fresh blood and childlike innocence.

"Lord Rod, don't want Rosalia anymore?"

"Rosalia and I aren't in that kind of relationship."

Because the Tooth Fairy Rosalia had entrusted these little Tooth Fairies to Shi Ying Town and to Rod, and even told them they could come to Rod for help if anything came up.

So this group seemed to think Rod and Rosalia had an unusual relationship.

Looking at the little fairy's expression, as if she was about to cry.

Rod was helpless.

He took a small fang from his spell pouch and handed it to her.

The fang was a dull yellow.

It carried a faint, terrifying majesty that terrified living creatures.

This was one of the Black Dragon Mikhail's dragon fangs — and the smallest one at that.

Any bigger and Interrogator Xiao Xiao Feisuo wouldn't be able to carry it.

"Dragon dragon fang!?"

The little Tooth Fairy froze for a moment, then burst into delighted cheers.

She hugged the dragon fang and flew in circles, kissing Rod's face every time she looped around.

"Lord Rod, like you more now!"

"Heh."

Sharron seemed a bit annoyed with the little thing, glared at her, and bit down on Rod's palm even harder.

"Alright, alright, I'll bring you some other teeth when we go down."

Interrogator Xiao Xiao Feisuo shook her head:

"Not that — Lord Rod's body has a special, cruel smell on it, a smell Tooth Fairies really like."

"Oh."

Cruel.

【Brutal Ke Yin】?

In the battle with Asmodeus.

Rod had once activated 【Berserk】, and in that instant was pulled into an alternate space and branded with 【Brutal Ke Yin】.

But so far the Ke Yin had been kept out by his extremely high spiritual resistance, and hadn't fully entered his body.

"Not only can people from the Holy Fire Sect sense it, but little Tooth Fairies can too."

"Among Tooth Fairies, a long, long time ago, there was this kind of smell!"

Interrogator Xiao Xiao Feisuo said seriously, standing on his shoulder.

"Fifty years ago?"

"Yes, more than one does."

Hearing this, Sharon pondered for a moment.

Still gnawing on her palm without letting go: "Hmm, I heard that the Tooth Fairy Sprites were the most violent and warlike of all the little sprites. Combined with their simple and pure minds, the energy they fed back into the Other Space was also more pure. Perhaps for this very reason, they were more favored by the power of the Ke Yin."

"There's such a saying?"

"Just a guess. Now, the number of Tooth Fairy Sprites is too small; there is no data to support it. Perhaps the little sprite massacre fifty years ago was related to this."

"I see."

Interrogator Xiao Xiao Feisuo looked at Rod's slightly heavy expression.

She was somewhat puzzled.

She leaned in again, gently stroking his cheek, and said softly:

"My Lord Rod, don't be unhappy. Xiao Xiao Feisuo will teach you to become powerful!"

"Teach me?"

Rod and Sharon had originally thought she had misspoken again and paid it no mind.

Unexpectedly, immediately after.

She stumbled through explaining some methods of using the Ke Yin.

The two of them listened, and the more they heard, the more something felt off; the more they heard, the more feasible it seemed.

Each of them slightly activated the Ke Yin within themselves.

Immediately.

A new entry appeared on the panel.

【Favor of the 'Cruel Ke Yin': 'Infinite Brute Strength'.】

Right after, a blood-red aura emitted from the Ke Yin outside their bodies, drilling into Rod's four limbs and eight bones.

It continuously and slowly enhanced Rod's physical strength.

"Oh."

Rod looked at Sharon.

He saw that she wore a similarly surprised and excited expression.

Her 【Wen Yi Ke Yin】 had been inside her longer, so perhaps the skills and methods of application she had figured out were also more numerous.

Rod quickly calmed down and had to warn:

"Use it cautiously, Sharon. This is, after all, something from the Other Space."

"Precisely because it is something from the Other Space, we should try to explore it as much as possible. The Wen Yi Ke Yin is not as ruthless as the Cruel Ke Yin; it is always benevolent and kind. I just learned a move that can stimulate the nerves. Don't you want to try it?"

Saying this.

Her eyes were seductive, her exquisite snow-white face carrying a teasing air, as she actively licked Rod's finger.

"... If you say try, then let's try."

The two did not continue discussing this topic.

Quickly.

They arrived at the office in the underground prison.

Through the visual magic of observation, they could see the situation in the cell of the half-goat Miss Miss Ainala next door.

All four sides were damp stone walls, with only a small ventilation window on the iron door.

Miss Miss Ainala was bound by two chains imbued with magic.

But the interior was fully furnished: books, musical instruments, a separate toilet, and a shower room.

The food was delicious, and her clothes were clean and bright.

It was less a prison and more like a vacation cottage.

It was just that her mind was somewhat unclear, staring into the void.

This was caused by the hallucinogenic drug of Interrogator Xiao Xiao Feisuo.

Since Miss Miss Ainala's imprisonment, contact with others had been consistently avoided.

The method Rod wanted to employ was to select a death-row prisoner and, by 'accidentally' revealing false information every day, inform him that a high-ranking official who had harmed his family member had been brought in here.

Not guiding directly, nor instigating indirectly.

Using treatment to reinforce the impression.

And by allowing negligence of the rules, letting that death-row prisoner actively seek an opportunity to kill Miss Miss Ainala.

According to Interrogator Xiao Xiao Feisuo.

The 'education' of the death-row prisoner was almost successful.

Coincidentally, this time Rod and the others came to visit, providing a reason to say 'someone wants to pull her out,' thereby forcing that death-row prisoner to take the risk again.
