Chapter 46

After Li Yu finished speaking, the Sui Empress's mature and charming face showed helplessness and hesitation again.

She had those "Hundred-Medicine Corpses" as eyes and ears, so she knew Li Yu wasn't lying; he truly hadn't killed anyone from the opposing camp.

But steal the corpse?

The Empress shook her head and refused directly, then proposed another rather stimulating solution:

"That female immortal's corpse is completely shrouded in poisonous elixir clouds; even His Majesty and I cannot withstand it if we get close, so it cannot be stolen."

"As for those invaders, the palace is shrouded in poisonous mist, and there are a large number of mad medicine corpses transformed from eunuchs and palace maids, plus His Majesty—it is a dead end for all of them."

"How about this: you crawl into my pistil now, and I will take you into the palace to find a chance to slaughter one person from the opposing camp."

"During the process, it won't hinder our dual-cultivation bedchamber arts. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"

"Trust this slave, this is a pleasure you have never experienced since you grew up."

As the Sui Empress spoke, she made that gesture again.

At the same time, not knowing what stimulating images she thought of in that head of hers, she showed a face of shyness and joy, and those flower buds with tongues and teeth began to drip saliva again.

And Li Yu was full of astonishment.

Having a baby while breaking into the palace, and then having a "husband watching" scenario... do you really have to play it this stimulating?

The key is, how dare I go in?

The so-called "a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall"—this is more than just a dangerous wall.

Just based on the performance of being almost sucked into a dried corpse when ambushed earlier, Li Yu dared to be certain that once he voluntarily crawled in, he might truly experience pleasure he had never known, but the ending would also be incomparably miserable.

By rights, he should have refused directly at this point.

But Li Yu didn't; instead, he showed a look of temptation and hesitation on his face, as if he were truly struggling and considering it.

Until dozens of breaths passed!

Seeing that he was pondering for too long, the Sui Empress gradually became impatient.

Her flower body swayed as she moved toward Li Yu, saying seductively: "Let this slave let you experience the beauty of it first, so you can make a better choice..."

Who would have thought that when Li Yu saw her movement, the look of temptation vanished without a trace. He retreated while shaking his head readily: "No, no, I appreciate your kindness, Your Majesty."

Once these words were out, even a fool could react to being played.

A negotiation and deal with a seductive atmosphere thus fell through.

The Sui Empress's face, which had been shy and red, turned cold and murderous in the blink of an eye.

"You dare to play me?"

"You're courting death!"

Amidst a scream, those several flower-feet shook violently, petals flew, and a seductive, eerie shadow darted toward Li Yu.

Halfway there, a large number of flower thorns containing deadly poison erupted, and even more vines whipped and bound toward him.

Judging by the intensity, if he were hit, Li Yu would be severely injured on the spot.

Fortunately, he had predicted this and started fleeing in advance.

However, even though he had eaten the "God-Foot Elixir," his speed was still slower than the Sui Empress. Those flower-feet of hers looked slender but possessed immense power; every time they shook, they made the entire flower body erupt with terrifying speed.

But Li Yu could always use underhanded tricks to avoid being captured.

First is the Explosion Flame Elixir; at critical moments, he would throw these fire elixirs behind him, and very viciously, specifically aiming at the Empress's face and chest. The Explosion Flame Elixir couldn't burn the Undead Medicine Corpses to death, so naturally, it couldn't do anything to the Empress, but the matter of disfigurement—even if she had become a flower demon evil spirit—could not suppress the instinct to dodge.

Second is the Compassionate Heart Elixir; when there was a risk of being severely injured and captured from afar, this guy would pick off a small piece of the elixir to eat, briefly entering the 【Compassionate Heart Form】, barely able to resolve the Empress's offensive.

Third is the Dantian fire; every time Li Yu was about to be captured, he would release Dantian fire. He wouldn't spray it at the Empress, but let the Dantian fire burst out from every pore of his body, like a fire-man, leaving the Empress with no way to start.

There were side effects, too: except for the container holding the elixirs, everything else was burned away, and the temptation to the pistil flower demon skyrocketed several times over.

Thus, in this empty corpse city, a very strange scene began to play out: a charming flower demon frantically chasing a naked teenage boy.

Once the latter was caught, he couldn't escape the ending of being forced.

Unfortunately, Li Yu was both treacherous and slippery, and he happened to have a supernatural power like "Dantian fire" that completely countered her. Unless the Sui Empress was willing to endure the pain of being burned to force Li Yu, there was absolutely no possibility of success.

But she was unwilling to give up. Having been trapped in the Mystic Domain for so many years, having finally encountered a special existence and having hope of breaking free, she naturally wanted to hold on tightly.

Especially since she saw that Li Yu gained power through taking drugs and it wasn't his own, she thought about exhausting this boy to death.

Alas!

The two chased and fled for a full half-hour.

Li Yu was still full of vigor.

The hundred-flavor meat balls had extraordinary spiritual effects.

It was the Sui Empress herself whose gorgeous flower demon body began to show signs of withering, and those flower-tendril vines also became weak.

Who could have thought? It was she who went limp first.

She finally woke up from her "lust" and her face changed drastically.

Unwillingness appeared in her eyes, but she decisively turned to return to the imperial palace.

But the next moment, she suddenly heard a "cough, cough, cough" sound not far away. It was Li Yu, who seemed to have used the Dantian fire supernatural power too many times, injuring his internal organs, staggering as if to fall to the ground, with thick black smoke spewing from his throat.

"Good opportunity!"

The Sui Empress changed direction and frantically lunged at Li Yu.

And, she soon got her wish.

The phoenix robe opened in an embrace, and the two rolled into a ball.

Li Yu had special sensations all over, and the pistil flower demon was also intoxicated by the scent of elixir and medicine on Li Yu's body, her whole body flushed. Just as she thought the good thing was about to happen.

Suddenly, she realized that the boy's face did not show panic or shyness, but a smile of a conspiracy fulfilled.

Instantly!

The pistil flower demon's heart skipped a beat, and fear surged for no reason.

Before she could react, the latter opened his mouth and spat out a full Dantian fire.

While igniting the flower-mouths in front of her, he deliberately spoke to interfere with words.

"Beauty misleads people; one must abstain from lustful poison, Your Majesty."

"If I'm not mistaken, neither you nor that Emperor can leave the imperial palace for too long. Those poisonous mists are deadly poison to outsiders, but they are also the place where you two maintain your lives."

"So you snuck out to have an affair with me, and you had to suck dry the zombies in the whole city to medicate yourself first? Do they automatically resurrect every so often, otherwise they couldn't withstand the harvesting of you two for so long, right?"

"Also, if Your Majesty leaves for too long, will you wither and die?"

This time, the Sui Empress was in no mood to answer any of Li Yu's questions.

She decisively cut off all her flower-tendrils, threw Li Yu away, and her flower-feet shook frantically as she fled toward the imperial palace area regardless of anything else.

At this moment, she had completely understood!

The seemingly pure and good boy in front of her was actually an insidious, cunning, and shameless person.

Through observation and probing, he had long ago seen through some of her weaknesses and details, deliberately showing weakness and delaying time so he could counterattack when she fell into weakness.

She wanted to sleep with him!

And Li Yu was thinking about slaughtering her to complete another side mission.

Behind him, Li Yu fiercely picked off a piece of Compassionate Heart Elixir and stuffed it into his mouth. The murderous intent he had endured for a long time permeated out, and he chased after her without a word.

The situation of entanglement was suddenly reversed.

Comparing the two's strength, the pistil flower demon undoubtedly had the upper hand, but she was countered by the Dantian fire.

If only she and Li Yu were in this Mystic Domain, then in a day at the fastest or a few days at the slowest, Li Yu would be exhausted of all his supplies and then forced by the opponent to have children, over and over again.

Unfortunately, there were too many other factors.

The important thing was that she was dizzy from "lust" and didn't hide her fatal weakness, and Li Yu had sharp eyes; after noticing it, a few probes were enough to know it.

So he lured her further and further away from the imperial palace.

Seeing she was about to give up, he deliberately showed a flaw and gave a sweet embrace, until the dagger was revealed.

And what followed was a tragic event of destroying flowers with a ruthless hand.

Although Li Yu couldn't engage in close-quarters combat with the pistil flower demon and had to guard against her exploding when she was at the end of her rope, with the assistance of several elixirs, he used methods like long-range harassment, attacking and fleeing, and Dantian fire sneak attacks in a cycle, successfully holding back the pistil flower demon's pace.

As time passed quickly!

Finally, under Li Yu's entanglement like a "pervert," the pistil flower demon ultimately failed to escape back to the imperial palace.

When she was a hundred feet away, only a shrill wail was heard.

Her several flower-feet could no longer shake, but were forced to take root. Strands of poisonous mist continuously overflowed, and her whole body began to lignify. With the last look of resentment falling on Li Yu, her beautiful face also turned into wood, and she died completely.

In Li Yu's mind, the wonderful prompt sound rang again:

"Congratulations to the Command Master with the codename 'Calamity Star', successfully completed the side mission: Collect Spirit Demons."

"Obtained 100 merit points."

Without the risk of being forced, and with another hundred merit points in the account.

Li Yu's mood was naturally incomparably wonderful, although he hadn't completed either of the two main missions.

But he had completed three side missions.

He had already obtained more than three hundred merit points!

"Unless one of Wen Wen Feifeng or Shang Yang can snatch that 【Corpse of the Penglai Female Immortal】, my performance in this Mystic Domain should be number one."

"However, according to what this pistil Empress said, that dim-witted monarch is extremely fierce, so the two of them may not have a winning chance... Eh?"

As Li Yu was pondering, his expression suddenly changed.

It was because he suddenly saw the pistil flower demon, who had become like a wooden sculpture in front, and in her gorgeous flower pistil area, strange flower nectar was now seeping out, drop by drop, gathering like a small spring and condensing in the pistil.

Seeing this scene, he immediately remembered another rule regarding practitioners:

"After a transcendent existence dies, the spiritual characteristics within the body will slowly precipitate. Each one has great use, and some are even the main ingredients for secret medicine formulas."

"Of course, if not used carefully and swallowed rashly, it is very likely to encounter accidents or contamination."

With this thought, Li Yu stepped forward.

Taking materials on the spot, he broke off a flower bud from the pistil flower demon and filled it with this pool of nectar.

And the moment he got it, an unexpected prompt sound came from his mind:

"Discovered 【Spirit Demon Nectar】, which is both the identity symbol of the pistil and the gathering of its spirituality."

"You can choose to take it out of the Mystic Domain, or hand it over to the Demon Star Command after the mission ends to obtain 50 merit points."
