166: Chapter 166 Follow me, or get beaten up and then follow me

After Feng Yange finished cursing, she sat down with a thud.

Red Eye approached, wanting to say something, but with one glare from Feng Yange's sharp eyes, it immediately backed away.

Feng Yange took out a rack, lit a bonfire, and started grilling meat and simmering soup.

Half an hour later.

"Do you not want to Cultivate?"

Red Eye asked aloud. This meat smelled so good.

It was starving for it.

Feng Yange glanced at Red Eye. "I'm hungry. I'm eating something to cool my temper and avoid Qi Deviation."

Red Eye backed away a bit more, losing the arrogance it had when they first met.

The air was filled with the aroma of grilled meat and simmering soup. It was so tempting!

Feng Yange heard a swallowing sound, raised her eyes to glance at Red Eye, and asked, "Want some?"

"Yes!"

Red Eye immediately approached. Under the illumination of the night-luminescent pearl and the bonfire, a pitch-black Red Eye monster ran right in front of Feng Yange, looking like a pure black doll.

"Oh, you can shapeshift too?"

She knew it; how could the Origin of Darkness not be able to shapeshift?

If it craved her fragrant food, how could it not be gluttonous?

Red Eye glared at Feng Yange, puffed up with anger. "Human, what kind of tone is that? Are you mocking me?"

"Why would I mock you? I'm just disgusted by your malnutrition. I doubt you've ever eaten these things; you're drooling."

Red Eye hurriedly reached out to wipe the corner of its mouth, only to realize it had been tricked.

"Human, you lied to me!"

"Who cares enough to lie to you? Hurry up and eat. There might not be a next meal after this one."

Feng Yange stretched, then glanced at Red Eye, who was devouring the grilled meat. She curled her lips slightly; having eaten the meat she grilled, she had this in the bag.

"Human, this meat of yours is delicious."

"Of course it is. There's no good meat here, so I can only eat the worst kind."

Feng Yange sighed. "I miss my seafood feast, my hotpot meat."

Red Eye's hand froze, its Red Eyes filled with confusion.

What were those?

It had never heard of them, never eaten them, but they sounded delicious.

In this lifetime, its first meal was given by this human.

"Adjustment complete. I will continue to Cultivate. If I don't succeed, I will become a demon!"

Feng Yange entered meditation. The Darkness Power around her body quickly surged into her. Red Eye looked down at the grilled meat in its hand, then looked at the human before it, lost in thought.

"It's been a month, and there's still no news from Mistress. She hasn't replied to our messages either. Could she be…"

Bai Jiuxiao's eyes were slightly red. Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Mo Yuan. "No. Mistress must be Cultivating. If something happened to her, we would all sense it."

"I don't know how much longer it will take for Mistress to come out."

Xuan Li murmured. Having turned into its original form, it lay on the ground with dull eyes. It couldn't Cultivate here; there was no Spiritual Qi, so it could only wait.

"Everyone, ration the Bigu Pills that Mistress gave us."

Mo Yuan reminded them. It was even more uncomfortable here than when he was in the Demon Race.

"Mistress will succeed," Jun Chen comforted them. "Let's wait a bit longer."

Long Ze clutched the Jade Slip in his hand. For over a month, they had all been found, but Mistress was not there.

It was he who had dragged Mistress into this. They said they didn't blame him, but he felt guilty.

"I miss Mistress so much."

Bai Jiuxiao turned into his original form and leaned against Xuan Li; his body was cool and could serve as a mat.

Xuan Li shook itself, but couldn't shake him off, so it let him be.

"If we had known, we should have consummated our marriage with Mistress first."

Yue Lan conjured a large pool and lay inside. The seawater was cool, and his fish tail swayed as he spoke with a tone full of helplessness.

They could all sense Mistress, except for him and Cang Yan.

Yue Lan's lazy gaze glanced at Cang Yan, who was fast asleep on Ling Feng's back. He really had turned into a little red bird, able to sleep anywhere and sleep very well.

Forget it; Cang Yan was undergoing Nirvana, and sleep was the most important thing.

Red Eye hugged the bowl and licked it, its eyes filled with anticipation for the first time.

Was it going to succeed?

The Darkness Power inside Feng Yange's body began to circulate regularly. From initially running wild, it now converged into a small ball of light, then steadily landed and took root in her body, growing into a black vine.

"Dark Spirit Root!"

Red Eye flew up in joy. Feng Yange slowly opened her eyes, the dark aura around her body thick and intense.

"Human, you actually succeeded."

"Dark Spirit, hello there!" As soon as Feng Yange spoke, Red Eye was so scared that it backed away, looking at Feng Yange with caution.

"You… you know what I am?"

Feng Yange revealed a mischievous smile and stood up, approaching Red Eye. "Dark Spirit, the Origin of Darkness Power, the spirit produced here, right?"

"What do you want to do?"

Why was this human's gaze so scary? It looked like she wanted to eat a child.

But it wasn't a child, it…

Red Eye looked down at its small physique. Alright, it really did look like a child now.

Feng Yange licked her lips and revealed a wicked smile.

"What do you want to do after you finish talking?"

Red Eye retreated again and again, then fell to the ground, looking at Feng Yange in terror. For the first time, it felt the fear of being eaten.

This human really dared to eat it because she had a Dark Spirit Root.

"I'll give you two choices. Follow me, and in the future, I'll take you to eat and drink well and reach the Peak of a Dark Spirit."

Red Eye stared at Feng Yange. "What's the second choice?"

"Get beaten up, then refer to the first choice."

Red Eye looked at Feng Yange and suddenly started crying loudly, "Waaah!" Feng Yange crouched down and reached out to stroke its head. "How is it? The feeling of being scared isn't pleasant, is it?"

Red Eye looked at Feng Yange, aggrieved, tears welling in its eyes. The human was actually stroking it.

She didn't find it disgusting.

"Do you want to eat a seafood feast? Do you want to eat hotpot? Do you want to go out and act tyrannically with me?"

With every sentence Feng Yange said, Red Eye's eyes filled with more anticipation.

"If you follow me, you'll be my spirit from now on. You help me Cultivate my Dark Spirit Root, and I'll take you to eat delicious food. The colorful world outside isn't just about colorful black."

Red Eye nodded vigorously, its chubby little hand resting on the back of Feng Yange's hand. "Okay."

What an obedient Dark Spirit baby, insisting on pretending to be an old monster.

Feng Yange forced out a drop of blood to form a contract with the Dark Spirit. The Dark Spirit turned into a small doll and flew onto Feng Yange's shoulder. "Master, will you make delicious food for me in the future?"

"Of course, but let's finish handling things here first."

Feng Yange looked around. "My Dark Spirit Root needs a lot of Darkness Power to Cultivate, which is equivalent to the Spiritual Qi of the outside world. Are there any Spirit Stones here that contain Darkness Power?"

"Yes!"

The Dark Spirit blinked its Red Eyes. "Master, I'll take you to see."

Feng Yange followed the Dark Spirit to a pitch-black cave. The Darkness Power inside was denser than outside, constantly surging into her body. There was no feeling of being devoured as before; she only felt that her Dark Spirit Root was very comfortable.

Endless Darkness Power; before, it was a terrifying devouring power, but now it was her power.

Feng Yange held the night-luminescent pearl to illuminate the area. Everywhere were these black, glowing crystals. The rich Darkness Power was seeping out from these crystals.

"Master, these stones contain very rich Darkness Power. They are crystals formed by accumulation over time."
