In the Royal Capital, at the city gates, the guards were currently inspecting those entering the city.
Within the crowd, two figures successfully passed the inspection and walked through the gates.
After identifying a direction, they made several turns and arrived at a dilapidated courtyard.
“Hehe, you’ve finally arrived.”
An old man holding a cane walked out slowly.
Although his eyes were cloudy, the aura emanating from his body struck fear into the hearts of others.
“I didn’t expect that you two wouldn’t be executed by the Master.”
The old man’s voice was somewhat hoarse.
“We were also a bit surprised that the Master would let us go.”
Bahufa removed the human skin mask from his face.
These two were none other than the Eighth Elder and Ninth Elder of the Demon Clan who had sneaked into the Imperial City.
The old man before them was the Fourth Elder.
Although they were all Elders, the Fourth Elder’s strength was far greater than that of the Eighth Elder and his companion.
“Fourth Elder, when do we act?”
The Eighth Elder asked somewhat anxiously.
After all, the Master hadn’t given the two of them much time.
The Fourth Elder walked over to a tattered reclining chair in the small courtyard and then leisurely lay down.
“What’s the rush? The Second Elder hasn’t arrived yet.”
“The Second Elder is coming too!”
Hearing this, the Eighth Elder’s entire body shook.
This time, the chances of success were significantly higher.
“Jie jie, it seems the Task will definitely be completed now.”
The Ninth Elder laughed sinisterly.
“Old Ninth, I’ve wanted to ask for a long time, what’s with that laugh of yours?”
The Eighth Elder couldn’t for the life of him understand why Old Ninth had to add those two “Jie jie” sounds whenever he laughed.
“It fits our identity.”
“Huh? Where did you hear that from?”
“The Demon Race Self-Study Manual given to me by the First Elder.”
“…”

Inside the Great Prison of the Seven Star Sect Imperial Capital Branch.
Unlike the high-spirited handsome youth from before, the current Jing Kun could be described as looking utterly defeated.
“Hey! Let me out! I want to kill Qin Mu!”
Jing Kun’s body shook violently, causing the Lock Chain to let out a clattering sound.
“Alright, save your strength.”
From the side, Wan San watched Jing Kun’s futile efforts and said, “Being bound by these chains that lock your cultivation, we are no different from mortals. No matter what you do, they won’t pay any attention to you.”
Compared to Jing Kun’s crazed state, Wan San appeared quite calm.
After all, as someone formerly from the Devil Path, he had been in and out of prisons many times.
If you were from the Devil Path and hadn’t experienced prison a few times, you’d be embarrassed to call yourself a person of the Devil Path.
The reason people of the Devil Path were so formidable was largely because they would escape after being imprisoned, giving them the capital to brag about being of the Devil Path.
Those who weren’t qualified to call themselves Devil Path had all died in the cells.
Only by absorbing the experience of predecessors in prison and avoiding the pitfalls that rookies stepped into could one truly achieve the Devil Path.
“Why! Why! Why…”
Jing Kun’s strength gradually faded, and he lowered his head weakly.
“Sigh—”
Not far away, Wan San shook his head at this sight.
Jing Kun’s condition was due to the Demonic Transformation being too severe, as it had already invaded his consciousness.
Although the more severe the Demonic Transformation, the more power one obtained and the stronger they became.
However, the demonic Qi would devour a person’s nature and erode their consciousness, gradually turning them into a crazed demon who only knew slaughter.
This was the common end for those who underwent Demonic Transformation.
Of course, there were also some powerful figures who, relying on their own willpower, forcibly endured the erosion of the demonic Qi.
Once successful, such a complete fusion of human and demon would be even more powerful than a pure member of the Demon Clan.
Due to the nature of their birth, it was almost impossible for pure members of the Demon Clan to become Immortals.
However, a complete fusion of human and demon could, in theory, become a Demon Immortal.
It was just that while this was theoretically possible, no one in reality had ever succeeded.
Silence returned once more to the Great Prison of the Seven Star Sect Imperial Capital Branch.

Qin Mu carefully guided the Qi Strength to flush through his Jingmai.
After completing three cycles, the Qi Strength was finally exhausted.
Opening his eyes, he clenched his fists and felt the True Qi within his body.
It had to be said, as expected of Miss Mengyu; if the Qi Strength had been any higher, it would have caused damage to the Jingmai, and if it had been any lower, the flushing would have been incomplete.
Restraining his aura, Qin Mu looked up and saw Miss Mengyu sitting by the table not far away, holding a book and reading.
Furthermore, Miss Mengyu was sitting with her legs crossed.
Due to her posture, half of her fair calf was exposed from beneath her skirt.
If she were to wear high heels and let that calf sway back and forth, it would definitely be a beautiful sight.
No, no, no, this is Miss Mengyu, how could I be so depraved?
Qin Mu hurriedly suppressed the small thoughts in his heart.
However, why did Miss Mengyu suddenly have an interest in reading?
In Qin Mu’s impression, Miss Mengyu was more interested in Dan Prescriptions.
Then, Qin Mu noticed the Storage Pouch placed on the table.
That seems to be… mine!
He hurriedly reached toward his waist, and sure enough, it was empty.
Moreover, Young Master Qin discovered that the book in Miss Mengyu’s hand looked more and more like the one Chen Kai had given him earlier.
It’s over, it’s over…
At this moment, Qin Mu was breaking out in a cold sweat, feeling as if he might not see tomorrow’s Sun.
“Mu’er~”
With an affectionate tone, Qin Mengyu smiled as brightly as a flower, no different from usual.
I’m doomed, I’m doomed.
Amitabha, Hallelujah, Amen, Infinite Heavenly Lord, please protect me and help me survive this tribulation!
“What are you standing there for? Come here, come to your Sister.”
Qin Mengyu patted the seat beside her.
Little did she know that in Qin Mu’s eyes, this was no different from an invitation from the God of Death.
“No… it’s okay, Miss Mengyu, I’ll just stand. I was meditating for too long just now, and my legs are numb…”
Qin Mu didn’t dare to look into Miss Mengyu’s eyes, and as soon as he made slight contact, he quickly shifted his gaze.
Qin Mengyu gave a soft smile, put down the book in her hand, and came before Mu’er.
This… this!!
Qin Mu was so scared he wanted to retreat, but once he retreated, it would definitely make Miss Mengyu even more unhappy.
Qin Mengyu looked at the way Mu’er lowered his head and didn’t dare to look her in the eye.
With his slumping little head, he felt even more like a little puppy.
Mu’er is so cute~
“What’s wrong? Is Mu’er so afraid of me?”
“No… No!”
Qin Mu hurriedly shook his head in denial.
“Then why do you not dare to look directly at your Elder Sister?”
Because I don’t dare to…
Qin Mu was like a primary school student who had been caught by the teacher doing something wrong.
“Alright now, your Elder Sister won’t eat you.”
Qin Mengyu pulled Qin Mu to lie down.
Lying on the soft Bed, Qin Mu’s tense body relaxed slightly.
However, he still couldn’t be careless.
“Mu’er, it’s time. You should take a midday nap~”
“Ah? But, Miss Mengyu, it’s only…”
“Shhh— No talking. Sleep obediently.”
Qin Mengyu took out an eye mask and put it on Mu’er.
Although he didn’t know why Miss Mengyu was acting like this, it was fine as long as he didn’t get beaten.
Thinking this, Qin Mu was about to fall asleep when suddenly, a chill came from Little Young Master Qin.
“Miss Mengyu, I, hiss…”
a burst of a never-before-experienced wet and hot sensation made Young Master Qin’s scalp tingle, and his body instantly went weak.
After an unknown amount of time, the dazed Young Master Qin seemed to hear slurping sounds, and then a gradual sense of fatigue washed over him as he fell asleep.
Qin Mengyu straightened her body, beckoned with her hand, and a cup of tea landed in her palm to moisten her throat.
Her beautiful eyes looked toward the book on the table, and she put it into her own Storage Pouch.
Thinking of the contents of the book, it seemed she still had much to learn.
Looking at the sleeping youth beside her, her eyes were full of tenderness.
Mu’er~
Kissing is no longer enough to her
