Chapter 89: Children, dig in!

Lin Yang, please spare my life; I can play any instrument.

Zi Youying no longer had the arrogant little queen's demeanor; her whole body trembled with fear.

Her proud blood sacrifice plan was destroyed, and she was trapped in this flame prison by Zu Xiaohua, unable to resist.

If she continued to refuse to beg for mercy, there would be only a dead end.

She did not want to die; her reason for plotting the blood sacrifice was to become a Great Emperor and rise above others.

Lin Yang, I can not only play music, I can also wash clothes and cook.

Moreover, I am super obedient; I am like your little kitten—if you tell me to go east, I will definitely leap into your arms.

Creak creak... horse.

Zi Youying sent furtive glances at Lin Yang, showing weakness.

Lin Yang felt a chill run down his spine; it seemed this old demoness was truly frightened.

Before, she acted high and mighty, wanting to make him submit to her.

Now, however, it was the opposite.

She wanted to submit to him.

Seeing Lin Yang silent, Zi Youying thought he was hesitating, so she continued, blushing, to speak.

The most important thing is, I am truly inexperienced.

Master, please command Youying as you wish.

The words fell.

Zi Youying's purple robe looked as if it had been coated with lubricant.

It slipped off with a swish.

In an instant.

Zi Youying's smooth, jade-like shoulder quietly revealed itself; her skin resembled freshly melted snow, so fine that not a single line could be seen.

Under the gentle play of light and shadow, a faint sheen appeared, like the rippling light on a tranquil lake, drawing attention involuntarily and making it impossible to look away.

I'm such a flirt.

Lin Yang instinctively flared with anger.

I originally set my heart on the proper path, but beauty confuses the eyes; I cannot coexist with lust, my heart set solely on the summit of the azure clouds—no matter how many charms it shows, it cannot shake my steadfast resolve.

Zu Xiaohua, kill this calamitous beauty.

Upon hearing those words,

Zi Youying's fragrant shoulder trembled, and she stood there like a wooden chicken.

I had thought my pure passion would ignite his beastly nature, but instead all I got was the words, 'Kill him.'

Lin Yang, you beast!

I hate you; I cannot coexist with you under the same sky.

We cannot both exist.

I wish you a horrible death.

You will suffer retribution.

Seeing that the seduction failed, Zi Youying was the first to let her guard down, and she burst out cursing.

Lin Yang had long seen through Zi Youying's little tricks; no matter how pure her appearance, what good is it if her heart is impure?

After Zi Youying's miserable cries ended,

Zu Xiaohua, having eaten her fill, flew down onto Lin Yang's arm.

Lin Yang stroked Zu Xiaohua's back ridge; her scales seemed thicker and more beautiful.

It seemed that consuming all those vital essences had helped her grow considerably.

Master, I still want to eat.

Zu Xiaohua licked her lips and looked at Lin Yang.

Lin Yang tapped her little head and said, 'If you still want to eat, you can only go eat the Hundred Flowers Fairy.'

Upon hearing that,

Zu Xiaohua's eyes suddenly gleamed, as if she shared the same heroic sentiment.

Lin Yang broke into a sweat and hastily said, 'That one cannot be eaten.'

You should first shrink and rest.

After all, the Hundred Flowers Fairy has always been on good terms with her, and everyone is still cooperating; if Zu Xiaohua truly consumed those vital essences, he would feel uneasy inside.

Fortunately,

Zu Xiaohua obediently shrank and merged onto his arm.

Before him, Zi Youying had merely been stripped of her vital essences by Zu Xiaohua; her true form remained.

Without those vital essences, her rosy cheeks withered at a visible pace.

Fine wrinkles spread like evil vines, crawling over her face; her once moist, full lips became dry and slack, like withered bark.

Her lustrous black hair quickly lost its shine, turning into silver strands that fell like snow.

Her body stooped and shrank, her skin sagging and layered, as if a night had passed like a thousand years.

Hahaha!

Zi Youying glared at Lin Yang and roared, 'Even if you can consume my vital essences, what of it?'

I am immortal; you cannot possibly kill me.

Moreover, have you not heard, 'Wildfire cannot burn it all away; the spring wind blows and it grows again'?

Zi Youying inherently possessed an ethereal physique; besides being able to sense nature's vital essences, it also had the trait of immortality.

Just like the Hundred Flowers Fairy, Zi Youying knew she couldn't kill her opponent, so she merely imprisoned her in the grand formation.

Now, although Zi Youying had her myriad-qi devoured by Zu Xiao Hua, she could still start over, and could also rely on her Ethereal Body, to be reborn with the spring breeze.

"Lin Yang, I've remembered you; give me another hundred years, and I will definitely come find you for revenge."

Lin Yang smiled and said: "You don't have that chance."

"Hmph!"

Zi Youying gave a cold snort: "Even that dragon couldn't kill me; do you think you can?"

"Moreover, if I want to leave, do you think you can stop me?"

Lin Yang said in a deep voice: "If I don't want you to leave, then you won't be able to."

"Then we'll just wait and see."

Zi Youying knew the situation was lost; staying here any longer would be pointless.

It would be better to find a place, hide away for a hundred years, then come out for revenge.

Thus, she made preparations to escape.

However.

Lin Yang merely gave a light smile.

"Children, it's time to let you out to see the world."

Immediately.

Boom!

The space behind him instantly became deep and mysterious, with rolling thunderclouds, as if some terrifying thing were gestating.

Space split open, and a rift appeared.

Soon after.

From that rift, a small head poked out.

Its shape was that of a human-faced sheep body, with eyes under the armpits, tiger teeth and human claws, a big head and big mouth, extremely grotesque.

And these little ones are precisely the cubs of the Taotie.

As the first Taotie cub appeared,

the second,

the third,

until the tenth.

Ten Taotie cubs, mighty and imposing, arranged themselves proudly like little puppies behind Lin Yang.

Seeing this, Zi Youying's eyes nearly popped out of her head.

"This... this... if I'm not mistaken, this is a Taotie, and moreover there are ten of them?"

Such an ancient divine beast—when has she not seen it in books?

At this moment, she constantly recalled the image of the Taotie cubs from the books, comparing them to the creatures before her, muttering to herself: they have a human-faced sheep body, eyes under the armpits, tiger teeth and human claws, a big head and big mouth.

They move with extreme agility, possess terrifying lethality, and have the speed of tigers and leopards.

Moreover, they like to eat humans, and their appetite is enormous.

Thinking of this, Zi Youying no longer dared to linger even a moment.

She turned her head and tried to flee.

Lin Yang saw this, gave a cold snort, and said: "Want to escape?"

"No way."

He immediately waved his hand, issuing a command to the Taotie cubs.

"Children, feast."

As the command was given,

The ten Taotie cubs, like famished wolves, lunged at Zi Youying.

Such high-cultivation old fogeys are exactly their favorite food.

And seeing Zi Youying having flesh torn away in big bites by the Taotie cubs,

Lin Yang gave a light smile.

"After you become the Taotie cubs' 'you can do it', how can you not be undying?"
