Chapter 121: If You’re Not Strong, What Right Do You Have to Be With Sheng Xiao?!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Yu Huang was already very hungry, but she was even more covetous of the Monster Core’s energy.

Yu Huang hesitated for a moment before quickly swallowing the Monster Core.

After the Monster Core entered her stomach, the rich and powerful Monster Core spirit energy was instantly released from Yu Huang’s body. In that instant, the spirit energy in Yu Huang’s body increased explosively. Instantly, she felt as if her body was about to burst from the explosive spirit energy.

Yu Huang gritted her teeth and endured it. The tendons on her forehead protruded, making her look extremely terrifying.

The Vermillion Bird’s fire attribute wandered through Yu Huang’s limbs and bones. All of Yu Huang’s bones seemed to be burning with raging flames.

She was in great pain, but when she thought of Xuanyuan Jing, Yin Mingchong, her father’s broken leg, and his self-destructing beast form, her mentor’s expectations for her, and that man who was as distant as the moon in the water, she gritted her teeth and endured it.

Yu Huang, if you aren’t strong, how can you defeat Xuanyuan Jing?!

If she wasn’t powerful, how could she lead her father back to the Yin Clan?!

If she was not powerful, what right did she have to be with Sheng Xiao?!

Perhaps it was because of Yu Huang’s emotional fluctuations, but the beast heart in her body that had always been calm suddenly spewed out a wave of Purifying Evil Phoenix Flames.

The Purifying Evil Phoenix Flame quickly circulated within Yu Huang’s body. The power of the Vermillion Bird, which had been wild and rampant just now, immediately cowered when it encountered the Purifying Evil Phoenix Flame like a eunuch who had seen an emperor.

The Vermillion Bird Monster Core no longer dared to cause trouble. It quietly floated in front of Yu Huang’s beast heart and did not move at all. It obediently allowed the beast heart to devour its energy.

The energy of the Monster Core was too dense. Yu Huang took more than half a month to completely absorb it.

Originally, the beast heart was only the size of a small marble. After completely absorbing the Vermillion Bird Monster Core, it was now as big as a pigeon egg.

Yu Huang opened her eyes slowly. There was the flash of a flame in her hazel eyes, but she quickly hid it.

Sensing the dense Spiritual Energy in her body, Yu Huang was delighted to discover that she had actually broken through to the early-stage Scholar Realm and reached the intermediate-stage Scholar Realm!

Was the energy of a Rank 6 Monster Core that powerful?!

After getting a taste of success, Yu Huang even had the urge to hunt a few more high-level demon beasts to increase her cultivation.

As this thought flashed through her mind, Yu Huang calmly suppressed it.

Cultivation emphasized quantity rather than speed. This was because cultivation did not only cultivate one’s ability, but also one’s nature.

Be it the Monster Core or the medicinal pill that had the effect of raising cultivation, they were both external factors. It was not advisable to borrow external forces to increase one’s cultivation.

The cultivation that she had painstakingly cultivated for was far stronger than the cultivation that she had gained from elixirs.

After thinking it through, Yu Huang shook her head. She had lived for more than two hundred years, but she had almost gotten carried away.

Now that she had completely absorbed the spirit energy of the Monster Core, could she inherit the demon technique contained in the Monster Core?

A thought flashed across Yu Huang’s mind. The bones on her back suddenly cracked. Yu Huang could clearly feel the changes in her body. Her shoulder blade seemed to have been broken by a hammer, and then it reformed.

Yu Huang’s entire body was trembling from the pain. She used so much strength that her hands were deeply inserted into the soil in front of her.

The bones on Yu Huang’s back were like a jigsaw puzzle that had been messed up. After a moment, the jigsaw pieces returned to their original positions and stopped.

Yu Huang thought that it was over, but at that moment, something else was drilling out from her shoulder blade. It was like a bamboo shoot that had broken out of the ground and brutally tore apart the muscles on Yu Huang’s back.

“Ah!”

Yu Huang could no longer withstand this torture. She howled in pain.

Swish!

A pair of red wings appeared on Yu Huang’s shoulder blades. They slowly spread out and became bigger and bigger. In the end, they were so big that even the cave could not fit them.

Yu Huang laid on the ground and took a long time to recover some strength. She turned her head to look behind her. When she saw the gorgeous red wings on her back, a smile finally appeared on her pale face.

All the pain and torture was worth it the moment she saw the wings.

…

It had been more than twenty days since the battle with the Plum Leopard.

Ge Meng buried their buddies who had died tragically on the spot. They also searched for Yu Huang for three days in the periphery of the primitive forest. After failing to find any traces of her, they returned to the capital of the Rakshasa Empire.

Yu Huang was dead.

This was something the Ge Meng bros silently agreed to.

After returning to the capital, none of them mentioned Yu Huang. The entire team thought that Yu Huang had died in the mouth of a demon beast.

Everyone sighed. “This little girl is unlucky. She encountered a Rank 6 demon beast the first time she entered the mountain. What a pity.” Other than that, they didn’t have any other thoughts.

The news that the Shark Mercenary Group had encountered a Rank 6 demon beast quickly spread throughout the entire Jingdu. Although the Shark Mercenary Group had lost more than a dozen people this time, the Ge Meng bros had survived from the mouth of a Rank 6 demon beast. This was quite admirable.

Despite being praised by their peers, the Ge Meng bros could not laugh. This was because they understood that the reason they were able to return alive was not because of their powerful abilities, but because Yu Huang had relied on her own strength to gain hatred points from that demon beast.

The demonic beast only had eyes for Yu Huang. It did not take the brothers seriously at all.

They were lucky to have returned alive.

After recuperating in the capital for twenty days, the brothers finally got over the fear of that nightmare. If they did not go into the mountain to hunt demon beasts, they would not be able to gather enough Monster Cores for next month.

This time, when they entered the mountain, the brothers were much more cautious. They only dared to kill some low-level demon beasts at the periphery of the primitive forest.

On this day, the Sharks Mercenary Group and the Eliza Mercenary Group met on a narrow road.

Every leader of the Eliza Mercenary Group was called Eliza. The newly appointed Eliza was a woman with a pair of light green eyes. The woman’s skin was tan, and her figure was sexy. She was quite feminine.

Gulli stared at her big chest and long legs a few more times. He snorted and didn’t speak.

Ge Meng nodded at her and was about to leave, but Eliza stopped him. “Commander Ge Meng, was the Rank 6 demon beast you encountered last time a Plum Leopard?”

Ge Meng’s eyes darkened when he thought of what happened that day. “Yes.”

Eliza said, “Then it should be the same demon beast as the last one we encountered.” Eliza was one of the few lucky people who had successfully escaped from the mouth of the Plum Leopard. Even now, when she recalled that tragic battle, she still felt a numbing fear.

“That demon beast was very powerful. It was clearly a leopard, but it could fly. We were unable to fight back at that time. Commander Ge Meng, how did you escape?”

Gulli was about to speak when he heard his elder brother, Ge Meng, say calmly, “We were lucky.”

Seeing that Ge Meng was unwilling to say anything, Eliza did not pursue the matter. She continued, “We’ve taken a fancy to a Rank 4 Magic Beast. Do you want to cooperate?”

Occasionally, these mercenary groups would cooperate and distribute the resources according to person.

Of course, when they encountered such ruthless mercenary corps, they would also turn hostile after digging out the Monster Core and directly shoot the other party to take the Monster Core.

However, the reputation of the Sharks Mercenary Group and the Eliza Mercenary Group were not bad. They had cooperated a few times, but never had there been a situation where they shed all pretense of cordiality over a Monster Core.

Ge Meng agreed.

The group walked towards a level 4 Monster Core cave. When they were 300 to 400 meters away from the cave, they heard the angry roar of the monster.

Everyone immediately hid behind the big tree and peeped.

“Roar!” It was a sturdy brown bear. The brown bear’s fur was as hard as iron, and it was most suitable for defensive armor.

At this moment, the brown bear was in a furious state, and the person who angered it was a girl in a black cloak and jacket.

The girl squatted on a giant tree and held a bow in her hand. There was a fiery red duck standing on the bow. The girl shot out a sword, and the duck flew out from the bow like a burning fireball and landed on the brown bear’s head.

Boom!

The brown bear was immediately engulfed in flames.

“Chirp!” Xuan Yu took the opportunity to hurt the brown bear’s eyes. At this moment, Yu Huang jumped down from the tree. A pair of red wings extended from her back. In the next second, the wings spread out and blotted out the sky!

Countless red feathers fell from the sky and shot towards the brown bear like raindrops. The brown bear was instantly pierced by tens of thousands of arrows and fell to the ground!

A Rank 4 demon beast had fallen under Yu Huang’s hands just like that!

The girl took off her hat from her cloak, revealing her waist-long hair and a face wearing a golden mask.

Ge Meng’s pupils dilated!

Wu Huang?

How could she be alive?!
