Chapter 1042 - 1042 23 The Siege on the Blood Emperor

Chapter 1042: Chapter 23: The Siege on the Blood Emperor [Combined] Chapter 1042: Chapter 23: The Siege on the Blood Emperor [Combined] Feng Yin had naturally run out long ago.

In fact, as soon as the plan of action was confirmed, Feng Yin had wanted to flee.

A wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall, and someone who cherishes his life as much as Feng Yin would, of course, plan his escape early.

But just as he was determined to get away, Jinmian the Third arrived. Feng Yin, who valued his wealth as much as his life, didn’t miss the chance to extort an additional two thousand top-quality spirit crystals, seizing the very last opportunity to benefit.

Then he heard a booming sound coming from outside…

Of course, the Third would go to check out what was happening.

As for Feng Yin, he was well aware that this must be the action starting.

Once it had begun, how could Feng Yin dare to stay a moment longer?

If it were someone else, perhaps they would stay to put on an act, or even mock the old devil to his face, then escape by using the Illusory Silkworm—since they were prepared and could leave at any time.

But Feng Yin wouldn’t. He had never planned to do such a thing from the beginning.

He knew very well how high the old devil’s spiritual cultivation was, unreasonably so, to the extent that it was beyond his own comprehension!

Practitioners cultivate both their spirit and heart, and the higher the spiritual cultivation, the more enlightened they become, the more they know, and the more they realize how little they actually understand. The universe is vast, and he was just a mere grain in a granary, a needle in the ocean, nothing more.

Even though Lei Tu, the old devil, was severely injured and at his weakest in history, finishing off Feng Yin would probably only take a slap, and he might not even need to use that.

Now that the grand scheme had succeeded and he had taken all the benefits he could, why bother putting on an act?

If he were to get killed while pretending, who would he complain to?

Such foolish acts with no benefits were definitely not Feng Yin’s style.

So he didn’t even intend to see Lei Tu; he just slipped away.

The Illusory Silkworm was even more impatient than Feng Yin, teleporting him away the moment it received his message.

Having not seen Feng Yin for quite some days, Feng Ying and Xiaoshe almost went mad with excitement, rushing into his embrace, rubbing against him nonstop, almost as if they wanted to merge into his body.

Without a word, Feng Yin immediately performed the Spirit Touch enhancement on the long-missed Feng Ying. Ah, and casually he did the same for Xiaoshe and the six other creatures, each getting a touch, of course, with Xiaoshe receiving a complete Spirit Touch.

The other six, given their extraordinary talents, couldn’t yet withstand a full Spirit Gathering enhancement, so sharing one between two was the limit for now.

Just as Feng Yin predicted, all six creatures promptly fell asleep after the enhancement.

Xiaoshe, however, kept its spirits up, coiling around Feng Yin’s wrist. Given its current level of cultivation, which was certainly not comparable to the six younger ones, Xiaoshe was feeling very sleepy after receiving the complete enhancement but didn’t want to miss out. Now that they had reunited after a long time, it wanted to enjoy more moments of affection.

As for Feng Ying, she curled up in Feng Yin’s embrace, silent and unmoving.

Her cultivation had obviously made significant progress, and she could easily handle a full Spirit Touch enhancement without losing a single feather or feeling the need to sleep. She just clung to his skin tightly, her big eyes brimming with tears, and her little nose twitching.

Clearly, she was deeply troubled by the fact that Feng Yin had, “without a sound, abandoned her for several months” and was holding a grudge, sullen and forlorn… In short, she felt exceedingly wronged!

“It’s okay, it’s okay, I won’t do it again,” Feng Yin had no choice but to repeatedly assure.

Feng Ying continued to look aggrieved, obviously dissatisfied with Feng Yin’s words.

You’re actually thinking there could be a next time? Shouldn’t you be saying there will definitely not be a next time?!

But gradually, Feng Yin felt that something wasn’t quite right.

Huh, why hasn’t she shed any feathers this time? Not even sleeping? No sign of tiredness at all?

Could it be that the Spirit Touch enhancement affected the air instead?

What’s going on here?

After some thought, he realized, “Are you full?”

“Yi yi?”

Feng Ying was puzzled. What do you mean? Full of what? What have I filled up? What are you even talking about?!

Feng Yin counted on his fingers for quite a while, then with a jolt of shock realized that Feng Ying had received Spirit Touch enhancements nine times up to now. It was no wonder the technique no longer worked on her.

However, to push further and unlock the Spirit Opening enhancement, he had not yet advanced enough to obtain it, which was a bit awkward…

“You’ll have to wait a bit longer… This doesn’t do much for you anymore,” Feng Yin consoled Feng Ying.

Feng Ying just snuggled closer into his embrace, clinging tightly.

She felt more and more that Feng Yin completely missed the point. Who cares about some enhancement right now?

Hmph, what I need now is to sleep in these arms. Is the enhancement important?

Well, the enhancement is still important, but it’s of secondary importance, do you understand? Not the most important, but still very important!

After pacifying everyone, Feng Yin of course had to contribute more offerings to the Illusory Silkworm.

Yep, not just one but seven times, seven times! Once again, he felt utterly drained!

By the situation with Feng Ying and the Illusory Silkworm, Feng Yin concluded that Feng Ying was in the midst of a breakthrough. Until the last time, the Spirit Touch technique had shown remarkable effects on her, like achieving immediate enlightenment and instantly ascending to the heavens, and it was the same for others too.

Now that Feng Ying had received nine Spirit Touch enhancements, she had developed resistance to the technique and thus no longer experienced the same rapid progress. She needed to unlock a more advanced Spirit Opening skill to gain further benefits.

As for the Illusory Silkworm, its cultivation realm was already beyond Feng Yin’s knowledge. The Spirit Touch technique, while beneficial, did not have as drastic an effect on it compared to its effects on Feng Ying, Xiaoshe, and the six young ones. This was due to the essence of the Great Dao contained within the Illusory Silkworm, something that could only be vaguely sensed once one reached the Illusory Silkworm’s level.
