Chapter 441: Chapter 441: Self, Ego

"Huff, huff, huff..."

In the bedroom with its high bed and warm pillows.

Lin Fan’s breathing had become rapid.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he had been completely engulfed by black flames.

In his eyes, the peacefully sleeping Yang Linglong on the bed seemed like a delicacy.

That urgent desire to possess made him unable to resist stretching out his hand.

Towards her fair, jade-like neck to grasp.

"Swoosh..."

Suddenly, a beam of yellow light flew out from Yang Linglong’s palm.

Enveloping her along with the entire bed within it.

Lin Fan’s hand was eroded by that Demon Qi.

The pain, like being burned by fire, made him involuntarily step back a few paces.

"What am I doing!"

Amidst the severe pain, Lin Fan’s consciousness suddenly became somewhat clear.

Looking at Yang Linglong on the bed.

He was startled by the terrible thought he had just had.

Since when had he become so terrifying.

And in his mind, a strange voice suddenly sounded.

"Sleep with her... possess her... such a fine body... hurry... tear off her clothes... consume her completely..."

This voice was as if it came from deep within his soul.

At the same time, Lin Fan only felt like his head was about to explode.

It was as though something was trying to take over his thoughts.

To make him act according to that voice’s command.

"Hurry... possess her, she doesn’t care anyway..."

"She’s just a woman... with your abilities, all the women in the world are just playthings to you..."

"Do what you want... take her, violate her... make her unable to live or die..."

That pain, as if he had been put under a tight spell, made Lin Fan clutch his head with both hands and fall to the ground.

But the voice did not stop, instead, it roared unceasingly.

As if it wanted to burst out of his body.

"Lin Fan... what’s wrong with you!"

Lin Fan’s scream startled Yang Linglong awake.

Seeing Lin Fan collapsed on the ground, her face was filled with surprise.

Eager to get up and help him,

she failed to notice that the protective charm she had been clutching had fallen to the ground.

The Demon Qi that had enveloped her disappeared in an instant because it no longer had a host.

"Don’t come over!"

With a splitting headache, Lin Fan hurriedly shouted loudly.

Right now, Yang Linglong was like a bundle of kindling.

Sufficient to ignite the flames around him.

A single moment of lost rationality, and tonight something uncontrollable would happen.

"What... what’s wrong with you... don’t scare me... I... I’ll call an ambulance right now!"

Looking at Lin Fan’s pallid face, his entire body soaked in sweat and in such a pitiful state,

Yang Linglong felt a heart-wrenching pain.

Uncertain of what to do, she hurried back to grab her phone.

"Don’t... don’t call... pick up... pick up the charm... quickly..."

Lin Fan, whose body was gradually losing control, was like a starving wolf that had seen bloodied fresh meat.

Suppressing the most primal desires within his body was not so simple.

He could only use his last bit of rationality to shout loudly.

As long as she held that charm, he would temporarily be unable to approach her.

It was also enough to ensure her safety.

"Oh... I got it... I got it..."

Yang Linglong hurriedly picked up the talisman that had fallen to the ground.

As the Daoist Qi surged once again, it enveloped her.

The out-of-control Lin Fan was immediately forced back by the searing heat of the Daoist Qi.

"Hold onto it... wait for me... wait for me to come back..."

Because of the Daoist Qi, the Demon Qi in Lin Fan’s body suddenly weakened a lot.

Struggling to his feet, he staggered out of the room.

The torment of his boiling blood made him long for a cool place.

The nearby wild lake was naturally a good choice.

Thus, he turned into a black light and shot a few miles away.

Diving into the water, he indulged in the coolness of the lake bathing his entire body.

Floating face-up in the water, Lin Fan stared at the bright moon emerging from the clouds.

Everything that had just happened was beyond his expectations.

The pervasive Demon Qi, the bloodthirsty carnage, and the voice at the bottom of his heart.

What exactly was this?

Why had it never happened before?

Why did he almost succumb to becoming a bloodthirsty, lustful beast?

All of it seemed to have been concealed by something.

Or perhaps, something buried inside him was slowly awakening.

Countless thoughts shuttled through his mind.

Yet there were no clues to be found.

However, the mountains and forests at this moment

were not as quiet as one might imagine.

Two figures stood atop the bamboo sea, watching Lin Fan’s every move intently.

Their bodies moved up and down with the swaying bamboo.

And coupled with their attire, if seen by others, they would certainly be thought of as deities descended to Earth.

"To withstand the corrosion of Demon Qi and even assimilate it, it must be said that the boy indeed has a strong will. However, the strength of the Demon Qi inside him is formidable, likely a legacy of the ancient era. Heavenly Master, are you confident you can suppress it?"

The woman dressed in a green plain robe looked to be in her fifties.

Her phoenix-like eyes turned to the old Heavenly Master standing by her side.

But standing with the old Heavenly Master proved she was far from simple.

"There’s probably no one in this world who can suppress him, otherwise how could he become the ancestor of the Five Corpses? If there was any way, the master would not have let him venture out on his own. It seems like his true self is beginning to awaken. From now on, everything is up to him to resolve."

The old Heavenly Master stroked his beard, looking at Lin Fan with a look of approval.

He had almost lost himself to demonization yet managed to control himself.

How many in this world could survive such tribulation?

"Since we can’t suppress him, your purpose in seeking me out isn’t just to admire his will," said South Sea Divine Nun with a smile.

"Nothing escapes the South Sea Divine Nun’s Dharmic eye. Indeed I have sought you out for a matter," replied the old Heavenly Master with a smile. "You saw just now: although he had lost control, he chose to endure being struck by lightning rather than harm the girl. This shows the depth of his emotions. So, I think that the man who neither you nor I can calm might instead be transformed by affection. That girl is the key piece."

"So, you want me to take on a disciple?"

South Sea Divine Nun smiled knowingly, looking at Yang Linglong who was still sitting on the ground, clutching the talisman tightly.

"That’s right. If he were to lose control one day, these girls might be the only ones who can assist him. But if their strength is too weak, they won’t be much help. I see that she has a decent physique and a solid foundation. If she could learn a thing or two from South Sea Divine Nun, it might make a difference should she need to intervene one day, to avert a disaster. Isn’t this also a meritorious deed?"

The old Heavenly Master did not deny that he was there to find a mentor for Yang Linglong.

South Sea Divine Nun was one of the top thirty on the celestial list, with elegant Cultivation Techniques most suitable for women.

If she were willing to teach, Yang Linglong would surely become a great heroine someday.

"I accept this matter,"

declared the old Heavenly Master, and of course, the South Sea Divine Nun would not refuse.

And looking at the teary-eyed Yang Linglong.

She also took a liking to her.

However, they could not rush the matter of accepting a disciple.

They needed to find the right opportunity to make proper contact.
