Chapter 109 - 95: Super Evolution of the Female Demon Beast!【Laugh】

"That bastard?"

Ai Lin was puzzled.

"The one who buried me in the mountain, that bastard!"

So it turns out, when Little Zi was five years old, she was sold by her father to the richest aristocratic family in the city to serve as a maid because of her cute looks. Little Zi suffered a lot at first to learn all the rules, but she persevered and performed excellently. There were numerous rules in the aristocratic home, and punishments were commonplace. Fortunately, the young mistress of the family took a liking to her, and they had a good relationship. Little Zi was well cared for.

When Little Zi was nine years old, her young mistress suddenly fell gravely ill and despite their best efforts, could not be saved and passed away. The heartless aristocratic master claimed that his daughter would have no one to look after her in the afterlife, and ordered that Little Zi and several other close maids be buried with her!

Little Zi and five others were secretly drugged unconscious, and before they knew it, they were buried underground with the young mistress.

While in a deep sleep, Little Zi felt a chilling cold all over her body and was awakened. When she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was her own decaying body. She was terrified and cried for an unknown length of time. Strange knowledge gradually emerged in her mind, and she understood what she had become and what she could do.

Under bewildering circumstances, she became a female demon.

However, she could not leave this place.

More accurately, she could not stray too far from her body.

So, the newly formed young female demon absorbed the surrounding power in solitude, trying constantly to make herself more powerful. Then one day, she left the burial site.

By this time, the burial mound had disappeared, with wild grass and trees now growing all around. She had no idea where she was.

Everywhere the female demon went was desolate, and all animals stayed clear of her. Little Zi felt even more lonely. She spent day and night trying to increase her strength so that she could travel farther. As time went on, Little Zi finally found a way out of the forest, and she remembered a city from her memory. The city had become ruins, and in the sky, a huge flying dragon was turning the city into a furnace.

Then, Little Zi realized that her revenge had been taken by someone else. Losing all motivation, Little Zi returned to the mountains. She dug up her body and left the mountain top. She walked aimlessly across endless mountains until she found a place she liked. She stopped, buried her body, and began to sleep. Until the monster woke her up from her sleep. Then, Little Zi was driven out of her original home, and didn’t have time to bring her body with her.

"So, you must really want to get your body back..."

Ai Lin was moved to tears by the girl’s plight. This type of story touched the deepest part of her heart.

"Yes, if my body is destroyed, I will disappear."

Little Zi said somberly, her face showing traces of sadness and some relief.

That’s how it was with female demons. They had the miraculous ability to ignore physical attacks, but they are not without weakness. Even though they’re disassociated from their bodies, they could not completely abandon them. They often hid their bodies so that as long as the original body still existed, they could ensure regeneration.

Now, the place where Little Zi has been hiding her body has been occupied by the monster, meaning that Little Zi was at risk of dying at any time. Although Little Zi had once died, from a strict biological classification perspective, undead beings are still another form of life. Few people want to die a second time after their first unexpected death.

However, while showing sympathy, Long Yi was also focused on something else. Little Zi said that she had seen a giant flying dragon turning a city into a furnace. In the recent past, the only country that had been directly attacked by a giant dragon was the Black Dragon Empire. Someone foolish in the Black Dragon Empire tried to summon the Demon Abyss Dragon to be his servant, but unexpectedly summoned the Demon Abyss Dragon King. As a result, not only did the summoner die, but the Black Dragon Empire also lost several cities. The Black Dragon Tyl gained a lover from another plane and even had a child, and the city that was completely wiped off the map by the Demon Abyss Dragon was naturally traceable.

In various rumors, the Black Dragon Empire has never given up on their research on the undead.

Does this have anything to do with Little Zi?

Long Yi didn’t ask, it would naturally reveal itself with time and investigation. If Wesley were here, would he think of some connections?

The group delved deeper into the forest, shielded from various beasts thanks to the aura of dragons. Bajie and Xiaoyou had formed a great partnership. Xiaoyou would fly overhead and swiftly kill prey, and Bajie would then charge over and carry the large prey back. Thus, their food supply was taken care of.

At this point, Ai Lin finally understood why Long Yi had brought so many spices. In the depths of the old forest, the most readily available thing was ingredients. As long as one was patient, almost any ingredient could be found, but spices were a different matter. Humans had grown accustomed to the use of spices. If they were to eat tasteless food in a place like this for a few months, it would definitely have a detrimental impact.

The one with the largest appetite was naturally Bajie. Over half of the prey it carried back would end up in its own stomach. Bajie ate meat and did not spit out the bones, and according to Long Yi, it seemed to have a preference for bones over meat. Sometimes, Long Yi even suspected that Bajie was a dog in its past life.

Little female demon Little Zi watched as the two people and two dragons ate, and a look of envy would always appear on her face, but as a demon, she didn’t even have a physical body. Even if Long Yi wanted to invite her to eat, it appeared that there was nothing she could eat.

Even though the two didn’t intentionally want to tease her, after all, they couldn’t just not eat like Little Zi in order to survive only on Fighting Aura or Mana. After a few such incidents, they developed guilty feelings every time they ate.

At last, unable to ignore it anymore, Long Yi spoke up:

"Ahem, Little Zi, do you have anything edible?"

Little Zi thought hard: "Energy, any energy, Dragon Power, Fighting Aura, Mana, any form of energy can be my food."

Long Yi nodded, just as he had suspected.

He gestured to Little Zi: "Come on over, try this taste."

Little Zi, puzzled, came over to Long Yi, placed her hand on her little head, and a slight chill spread out from his palm. At the same time, a Giant’s strength transformed into Mana, and was infused into Little Zi’s body. Little Zi closed her eyes, cherishing the moment, gradually, her pale little face even began to gain some color.

"How is it?" Long Yi asked.

"Good..." Little Zi muttered unclearly.

"Good?" Long Yi was confused.

"Warm..." Little Zi opened her eyes, and in an instant, the eerie ghost lights in her eyes were no longer cold, instead, they were like a flame, they had even gained warmth!

"Can this serve as your food?"

"No, no! This is too extravagant, such a precious power, how could it be used on a Lower Demon like me. In reality... I just miss it, I don’t really care about the food you consume, please... don’t worry about me anymore.

With that, the little demon, Little Zi, nervously floated away.

Long Yi glanced over at Ai Lin beside him, both of them were jubilant.

Little Zi’s earlier nervous motion was truly adorable. Even though she had taken the form of a demon for hundreds of years, her mental state remained that of a nine-year-old child since she was alone in this rarely-habited place. Despite her demon status, her eyes remained pure and innocent. Every word she spoke, every request she made was completely heartfelt, with none of the dishonesty or deceit.

This was the main reason why Long Yi had decided to help her.

Long Yi called out from a distance: "In reality, it’s perfectly fine. I am a Dragon Knight, and Mana doesn’t serve a great purpose for me. On the contrary, consuming Mana even helps me to boost my strength. So if you like it, then I seriously don’t mind."

Little Zi, who had been hovering in front, turned around abruptly and in a whoosh, teleported in front of Long Yi. A pair of big eyes stared up at Long Yi. Her once pale face brimmed with eagerness, she asked shyly: "Really?"

The drooling little demon looked so adorable! If not for the ghost fire flickering in her eyes, she could have been the greedy little cat from next door!

Long Yi mentally praised her, then nodded confirmation: "Really!"

"That’s great!"

Little Zi, with her hands clenched in fists, stood expectantly beside Long Yi, waiting for him to put his hand on her head again. Long Yi grinned and said, "Actually, you can give me your hand."

Little Zi’s face turned a slight red, and she extended her little hand to him.

As Long Yi took Little Zi’s hand, he instantly felt the icy chill emanating from it.

Such a cold hand!

Long Yi activated his Mana inside his body, and began to slowly infuse it into Little Zi’s hand. Because Little Zi was floating in the air without needing to use her feet to walk, there truly wasn’t any impediment.

As the Mana continued to infuse, Little Zi’s body began to become gradually clearer, and her pale face increasingly rosy. Suddenly, a glow arose, sending a chill all around. Long Yi only felt that the little hand in his grasp seemed to have become even colder. When the glow faded, he saw that Little Zi had undergone some changes.

Her complexion was more natural, not the previous pale with a little rosy tint. The once ragged hem of her skirt had become intact, and her previously bare feet were now covered in a pair of white long socks.

Even though she was still floating in the air, she now resembled a normal little girl even more.

"I’ve evolved!"

Exclaimed Little Zi, in surprise.
