Qingtian Hunting Ground.
Mo Fan took the box from Wang Feng and opened it. Inside lay a blood-red crystal emitting a strange, eerie light.
"What is this?" Mo Fan frowned.
"The blood droplet Lu Nian absorbed," Wang Feng replied.
Mo Fan's hands trembled. He nearly dropped the box.
"Damn! Wang Feng, why are you giving me this dangerous thing?" Mo Fan's eyes widened.
Song Qiming and Lingling also looked shocked.
"Wang Feng, how did you get this?" Song Qiming asked, frowning seriously.
"It fell out after Lu Nian died. Don't worry—if anyone else tried to use it, there would definitely be problems. But Mo Fan is different."
"What do you mean?" Mo Fan scratched his head, looking puzzled.
Lingling furrowed her brow, thought for a moment, then said, "I've read the relevant information. For the Demonic System to succeed, it must have a different level of magical power than a mage of the same level. The higher the mage's level, the more magical power the Demonic System requires. That's why past experiments have always failed."
Wang Feng nodded. "Exactly. But there's one missing condition. The Demonic Element exchanges power with the Evil Saint King. Having more magic than an average mage is just a requirement. The real price is the soul. To survive while gaining power from demons, you need a huge amount of essence and residual soul."
Mo Fan's expression darkened. "Old Wang, even if I can use it, I'd end up like Lu Nian…"
Wang Feng waved his hand. "Don't worry—that was Lu Nian's failure. Real demons aren't much different from humans. They even look more handsome!"
Song Qiming frowned sharply. "Where did you get this information?"
Wang Feng touched his chin. "How should I put it… Didn't I use the healing system to examine demon Lu Nian's body? This is what it told me."
Song Qiming was stunned, clearly not expecting such an answer.
"Old Wang, you have more magic skills than me. Why don't you use it yourself?" Mo Fan asked curiously.
"It's a crappy demon system. Even a dog doesn't need it!" Wang Feng said disdainfully.
Mo Fan: ???
No, buddy… even dogs don't use it? Then why give it to me?
"Oh, don't misunderstand. I just look down on this demon system. But its power isn't weak. A mid-level demon can tear a commander apart with bare hands, and a high-level demon can kill a monarch. It's just that the cost is too high, so it's not worth it for me." Wang Feng explained.
"This…" Mo Fan looked at the box in his hands, eyes flashing with confusion.
"I'm giving it to you not to use now, but as protection. When facing certain death, you'll have a desperate means to fight." Wang Feng continued.
"Oh, I see." Mo Fan nodded and put the box in his pocket.
Song Qiming took two puffs of his cigarette and said nothing further.
After seven days, Wang Feng finally returned to his apartment.
As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu sitting on the sofa.
Mu Nujiao wore black stockings, while Ai Tutu wore white. Their slender legs were crossed and stacked together, giving off a subtle mischievous impression.
Very good. The Black and White Devils!
"Huh? Wang Feng is back?"
Ai Tutu leapt from the sofa with a bright smile.
Mu Nujiao remained silent, her expression calm, her feelings hidden behind gentle eyes.
"You have no respect for your elders. Call me brother!" Wang Feng glared at Ai Tutu.
Then he looked at Mu Nujiao and smiled slightly. "Jiaojiao, how's it going? Did you get any compensation?"
Mu Nujiao nodded softly. "One top-level spirit seed and five intermediate-level plant cultivation resources."
"So little? That can't be all, right?" Wang Feng frowned slightly.
Mu Nujiao smiled faintly. "There's also a ballot for the National Government."
"Votes? I see."
The value of government votes far exceeded ordinary resources.
Ai Tutu came closer, curious. "Brother Wang Feng, what did you get? This time, more than a dozen aristocratic families pressured you. It's a pity the compensation isn't public. Dean Xiao handled it all."
Wang Feng smiled. "Three Galaxy Veins, a Spirit-level Winged Magic Tool, and three high-level cultivation resources."
"Wow! That old Song He had so much wealth! He suffered losses. He should have been forced to give up more resources long ago!" Ai Tutu said, dissatisfied.
Wang Feng then asked, "Does your plant department have any demon seeds attached?"
Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu shook their heads.
Plant species are rarer than elemental species. Not every plant-type demon produces seeds, and if they do, cultivating them can even give birth to conscious beings usable as contracted pets by mid-level summoning mages.
Finding seeds of plant demons on the market is nearly impossible. Most awakened plant-system mages rely on specially cultivated ordinary plant seeds.
"Hey, this is for you."
Wang Feng took out two pseudo-demon seeds and placed them in Mu Nujiao's and Ai Tutu's hands.
"Is this a plant demon seed?" Mu Nujiao asked in surprise.
"Yes. It's a general-level pseudo-terrorist demon seed from Jinlin City. Tough, fast-growing. I'll use it for now and replace it later with a better one." Wang Feng nodded.
"Thank you, Brother Wang Feng!" Ai Tutu smiled brightly, then hesitated, tiptoed, quickly kissed Wang Feng on the cheek, and ran upstairs like a happy little bird.
"This girl…" Wang Feng shook his head, eyes falling on Mu Nujiao.
"Jiaojiao, don't you want to show some appreciation?" he teased.
Mu Nujiao rolled her eyes, cheeks flushed slightly, whispering, "Come to my room tonight."
Then she turned and went upstairs.
"Blessed evening~"
Night.
Moonlight spilled like water across the apartment windowsill.
Wang Feng quietly approached Mu Nujiao's room.
The room was girlish: pink curtains, a soft bed, and a few cute dolls—likely Ai Tutu's doing. A faint fragrance lingered, the unique scent of Mu Nujiao.
She sat by the windowsill, gazing at the moonlight, wearing a red dress. The thin fabric outlined her graceful, elegant figure. The dim light accentuated her charm, making Wang Feng's heart race.
"Jiaojiao, I'm coming in."
Mu Nujiao turned her head, cheeks flushed, a mix of shyness and anticipation in her eyes.
"Hmm~"
