331: Chapter 331 Returning to the Dark Zone

It was a pity that Shi Yuying's favorability was still 5 points short.

Stuck at the critical juncture of 75 favorability points, he couldn't get the reward...

Looking at Shi Yuying, whose eyes were gradually becoming unfocused before him.

Chen Yi decided to work some serious overtime tonight and strive to directly grind her favorability to 80 points!

In the subsequent cultivation, Shi Yuying's favorability indeed increased bit by bit.

The last trace of estrangement and inferiority in her heart, caused by the age gap, was gradually replaced by deep affection and reliance.

Finally, when the morning sunlight of the next day spilled into the bedchamber through the window lattice, the system's notification arrived right on schedule!

[Ding! Shi Yuying's favorability + 1 point!]

[Ding! Shi Yuying's favorability has reached 80 points. Congratulations to the Host for successfully capturing the heart of a Spirit Beast Girls!]

[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining 500 Enhancement Points!]

[Congratulations to the Host for mastering the Beast Taming Skill — Turn the Tide!]

[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the item — Advanced Enhancement Card X3!]

"Finally got it..."

Chen Yi let out a long sigh of relief and just wanted to close his eyes for a moment of rest.

But he found Su Taotao and Shi Yuying leaning against him, one on his left and one on his right.

Their beautiful eyes were sparkling, and far from being tired, they looked like they were still wanting more.

"Brother Chen Yi, I'm not tired yet! Let's continue!"

"Chen Yi! Au—Auntie here can—can also continue!"

Looking at this fiery scene, Chen Yi could only sigh helplessly in his heart.

"It looks like I'll have to work some more overtime!"

Half a day later, Chen Yi finally woke up leisurely.

After eating the breakfast prepared by The girls, Chen Yi kept his promise and took Shi Yuying's six Contracted Spirit Beast for a taste of super-fast leveling.

When the vast and pure spiritual power was poured into their bodies without any loss, helping them increase their spiritual power.

The eyes of these six girls looking at Chen Yi instantly became incomparably fervent and worshipful!

This kind of cultivation efficiency was something they dared not even imagine before!

Shi Yuying seemed to have gradually become accustomed to her new identity and her intimate relationship with Chen Yi, no longer blushing and acting shy at every turn like at the beginning.

It was just that when her eyes occasionally met Chen Yi's, they would still dodge slightly.

That subtle sense of inferiority caused by her actual age could not be completely eliminated overnight.

Chen Yi saw all of this in his eyes and didn't say much.

Time would dilute everything; long-lasting companionship was far more powerful than words!

"I'll take better care of Aunt Ying tonight."

He thought to himself truthfully.

However, after the incident in the True Illusion yesterday, everyone was still a bit fearful.

The danger level of the Ultimate Darkness Zone far exceeded expectations.

That kind of attack, which struck directly at the weaknesses of the soul, was simply impossible to guard against!

With the team's current average strength, exploring deeper rashly posed too great a risk.

After some discussion, Chen Yi made a decision.

Return to the Eternal Day Zone first and use Su Taotao's Taotie Bloodline to devour the barrier energy.

Then he would guide them to assist everyone in cultivation and fully increase their levels!

Cultivation resources could be used at any time.

But the barrier in the Eternal Day Zone, which contained pure Light Attribute energy, was a unique resource that couldn't be moved, so it naturally had to be utilized first.

So, half a day later.

Everyone returned along the original path, passed through the barrier again, and returned to the light-bathed Eternal Day Zone.

Next began two and a half months of cultivation—or to be precise, vacation time!

During the day, Chen Yi's main job was to help The girls guide energy and increase their levels;

At night, it was in the gentle embrace of the Crystal Palace, engaging in intimate activities, cultivating Affinity, painful yet happy!

Time flew by, and the two and a half months passed in the blink of an eye.

Everyone's level ushered in a qualitative leap!

Shi Yuying successfully broke through to the tenth stage of the seventh rank!

Su Taotao also caught up from behind, reaching the eighth stage of the seventh rank!

Chen Yi's original Contracted Girls, including Black Rose, all improved to the seventh stage of the seventh rank!

Lilian also caught up, reaching the sixth stage of the seventh rank!

Shi Yuying's six Contracted Spirit Beast, under Chen Yi's outsourced benefits, also had their levels improved to the fifth stage of the seventh rank!

Although their leveling speed was slightly inferior to Chen Yi's direct Contracted Spirit Beast.

But looking at the younger generation globally, this speed of improvement was enough to make any so-called prodigy dumbfounded, enough for them to brag about for several years!

This day, Chen Yi was preparing as usual to let Su Taotao devour the barrier energy for cultivation.

However, when Su Taotao activated her Taotie Power and began to absorb it as usual.

The originally solid barrier, after holding on for a moment, actually let out a slight crisp sound, turned into light spots all over the sky, and completely dissipated.

And it didn't re-condense like before.

"It seems that the energy reserve of this barrier has also been gnawed clean by Tao Tao!"

Chen Yi rubbed his chin, "I don't know how long it will take to recover naturally..."

During this period, they had not seen any other prodigies come to this ninth-layer Eternal Day Zone.

Presumably, they must all be stuck in the Storm Zone.

Chen Yi naturally couldn't waste time waiting for the barrier to recover.

He looked around at the women beside him, whose strength had greatly increased and who were full of energy, and felt a sudden surge of pride.

"Alright, we've rested enough, and the levels have been improved enough."

"It's time to head to the Ultimate Darkness Zone again and continue our unfinished exploration!"

"Let's go!"

---

Just as Chen Yi's team was cultivating intently in the Eternal Day Zone and their strength was soaring rapidly.

A crisis lurking in the shadows was also quietly spreading at the edge of the Ultimate Darkness Zone.

Gu Fan, this SSS-level prodigy on the surface of the Dragon Kingdom, was currently acting like a madman.

Relying on quite a few of his trump card healing treasures and the few wind breath flowers he had, he used his physical body to resist and finally successfully broke through the defense line of the Storm Zone, arriving at the sixth-layer Eternal Day Zone.

After another month of struggling, they finally found the barrier entrance to the final area — the Ultimate Darkness Zone!

Looking at that barrier glowing with a faint light, madness and unwillingness flashed in Gu Fan's eyes.

He used a one-time detection secret treasure to confirm that Chen Yi and his party had already entered it.

The poisonous fire of jealousy was almost burning his sanity to ashes.

"Chen Yi... you are indeed here!"

He gritted his teeth, his face twisted.

He attacked the newly condensed barrier slightly.

He discovered with despair that with his current state and strength, it was absolutely impossible to forcibly shatter this barrier in a short time.

The thought of burning his bridges grew wildly in his heart.

No breaking, no establishing; break, then establish!

Only by cutting off his retreat could he force out all his potential and solidify his determination to kill Chen Yi!

He no longer hesitated and took out that life-saving trump card originally intended for escaping desperate situations — the Space Escape Talisman!

This talisman was incomparably precious, and there was only this one!

It could instantly teleport him and anyone in physical contact with him to any location within his line of sight or memory.

He didn't expect that this time it would be used to track someone...
