Chapter 612 - 612 The Corpse of the Yamata no

Chapter 612: Chapter 612: The Corpse of the Yamata no Orochi [19th Update] Chapter 612: Chapter 612: The Corpse of the Yamata no Orochi [19th Update] The abbot’s face was somber as he looked towards Gui Hai, “Gui Hai, is everything you’ve said true?”

Gui Hai nodded with equal seriousness, “Every word is the truth.”

“When Yi Kong informed me, I specifically checked Li Xiaoyao’s identity information, and indeed it matches the person in this portrait as if they were carved out of the same mold.”

“I immediately took Yi Kong with me under the guise of cooperation, and went to the Li Family, hoping to get to the bottom of this.”

“And indeed, I met Li Xiaoyao there — he turned out to be the son of Li Chengfeng, who had been lost for twenty-eight years.”

Yuan Wu frowned and asked, “Why didn’t you report back immediately after getting the information?”

Gui Hai replied, “Li Xiaoyao’s cultivation level was average; at the time I had already ordered Yi Jie to make sure to assassinate him in the Human Realm. Who would have known his cultivation was so terrifyingly powerful, and that he had a not-so-simple relationship with Xiao Qing. Besides, during that period, I was dealing with a very important matter in Ling City.”

...

Gui Hai did not go into too much detail about the appropriation of the botanical garden, nor did he want to elaborate.

Fortunately, the abbot and the elder’s minds were not focused on this, and they did not press with further questions.

“What do we do now?” someone asked.

The abbot stared at the portrait on the wall and slowly let out a breath, his tone resolute, “Li Xiaoyao must die.”

Yuan Li shook his head, “But we don’t even know his whereabouts right now, how can we kill him?”

The abbot said indifferently, “As long as he’s human, he can’t escape the ordinary; just check out his friends.”

Yuan Li’s eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, “Abbot, that’s a good idea.”

…

Li Xiaoyao’s last stop was Ye Qinglian’s room. Seeing him arrive, Ye Qinglian harrumphed in dissatisfaction.

Through the use of eighteen different maneuvers, Li Xiaoyao finally stripped her completely, marking the second time he had come into such close contact with her.

The previous time, in the bathroom, they were occasionally worried that someone might come in, so they were extremely cautious and in agony.

Now there was no such worry. Li Xiaoyao cast a soundproofing technique, and even if she screamed her voice hoarse, nobody would hear.

Upon leaving Ye Qinglian’s room, the sky was already faintly brightening, yet Li Xiaoyao felt not the slightest dizziness or blurriness from overindulgence. On the contrary, he felt filled with strength.

The energy from this Golden Core might not have a significant effect on Li Xiaoyao, but it certainly had a marked effect on the women.

Once the energy from this Golden Core was fully absorbed, the women’s cultivation levels could probably reach the peak of Qi Refining Realm. With a bit of luck, it wasn’t impossible for them to break through the Qi Refining Realm and reach the Spirit Condensation Realm.

Li Xiaoyao touched the Storage Ring on his finger and headed out to the house opposite.

Ren Li was very obedient, cultivating alone in the room, while Jiuyin was still displaying her high-cold CEO-like demeanor, sitting on the sofa and spacing out.

“Come with me.”

Li Xiaoyao spoke and walked onto the balcony. With a leap, he dived into the darkness below. Jiuyin, without asking too many questions, promptly followed by jumping down as well.

The two arrived by the riverside, where there was plenty of space.

The Storage Ring on his finger flickered slightly, and a gigantic corpse lay unreservedly on the river bank.

“Do you recognize this?”

Jiuyin stared intently at the corpse, his ever-calm eyes suddenly bursting with two sharp gleams.

“This is…” Jiuyin’s face flickered with puzzlement, his voice uncertain as he exclaimed, “Within his body lies an ancient bloodline!”

Li Xiaoyao’s mouth curled into a smile, and he said, “This is the Yamata no Orochi, I reckon you’ve never seen one before.”

“Yamata no Orochi!” Jiuyin’s eyes lit up, he responded, “I have indeed heard legends about it.”

“Indeed, it was an ancient demon, but its cultivation level was much weaker than what I had heard of.” Jiuyin shook his head, explaining, “My predecessors told me that a thousand years ago, the Yamata no Orochi was a massive force among the serpent race. But then for some reason, they suddenly vanished without a trace. I had thought that such ancient demon beasts no longer existed in this world, and yet here I’ve encountered one.”

A thousand years ago, Xuan Country must have been rich in spiritual energy, teeming with powerhouses, but that was not now, and Li Xiaoyao had no interest in finding out more. He only knew that what was most important now was to make himself stronger. Should he encounter those old fogies from the Eight Great Sects of Xuan Country again, he wanted to be able to slap them all to death with a single blow.

“This Yamata no Orochi, I give it to you. I have examined it, and its demon core is still inside. If you devour it, your cultivation level will surely skyrocket,” Li Xiaoyao said.

“Give it to me?” Jiuyin paused for a second, somewhat in disbelief.

The Yamata no Orochi, a demon beast with an ancient bloodline, was so precious that its value couldn’t be measured with money.

And now, Li Xiaoyao was offering it to him without even blinking an eye?

Li Xiaoyao’s gesture left Jiuyin feeling a mix of complex and strange emotions.

Initially, under the threat of death, he chose to submit to Li Xiaoyao and forge a master-servant contract. But deep down, Jiuyin had never really considered himself to be Li Xiaoyao’s servant.

Zhu Jiuyin, an ancient demon beast, was a king among the serpent race, high-minded and proud. How could he submit to a human unless the situation was dire?

After the contract was formed, although Li Xiaoyao had never truly treated Jiuyin as a servant, Jiuyin didn’t feel much affection for Li Xiaoyao in his heart.

To put it bluntly, he had humbled himself to survive.

Li Xiaoyao was indeed strong, he acknowledged that, but no matter how strong, what did it have to do with him?

Yet now, as Li Xiaoyao pointed to the carcass of the Yamata no Orochi, saying to him, “It’s yours,” Jiuyin suddenly felt a surge of particularly complex emotions in his heart.

As a cultivator, and such a powerful one at that, Li Xiaoyao would surely know what a demon beast with an ancient bloodline meant.

Even though Li Xiaoyao’s cultivation level had reached the Golden Core Realm, second rank, if he devoured it himself, it would greatly enhance his cultivation level.

Not to say he would break through to the Spirit Condensation Realm directly, but advancing a rank or two would definitely be no issue.

Nevertheless, Li Xiaoyao chose not to use it for himself but to give it to him instead.

If Jiuyin didn’t understand the value of this corpse, his feelings wouldn’t be so complicated.

He looked at Li Xiaoyao for a long time before nodding his head and said, “Thank you.”

Li Xiaoyao, nonchalant, waved his hand and smiled, “You’re my man, of course I have to look after you. Remember what I told you? Stick with me, and you’ll live the good life. If anyone gives you trouble, just drop my name. I’ll make sure even their mothers won’t recognize them after I’m done.”

Jiuyin managed to squeeze out a rather unsightly smile, although handsome, his smile was too stiff.

“Alright, take it. The sooner your strength grows, the more you can help me. I’ll be leaving for a while soon, and I need someone stronger to stay by their side for protection.”

Returning home, Jiuyin went to his room to devour the Yamata no Orochi, while Li Xiaoyao sat in the living room, waiting for the several women to wake from their cultivation.

“Buzz, buzz~”

The vibration of the phone pulled Li Xiaoyao back to reality from cultivating. He looked at the caller ID and was quite surprised—it was actually Li Tu.
