8: Absorbing the essence and blood, the fox was shocked

He is merely in the Linghai Realm. Even if he could absorb the demon emperor's essence blood, shouldn't he refine it slowly, absorbing it bit by bit? This guy actually swallowed it whole?

Ignoring Su Meier's shock, Mu Wuchen simply closed his eyes and sensed carefully.

Upon entering his body, the demon emperor's blood unleashed a violent force that impacted Mu Wuchen's internal organs, turning his body a faint pink.

However, this explosive power was suppressed by him in the blink of an eye, and soon transformed into a vast and pure energy that merged into his meridians, causing his aura to climb steadily.

Linghai Fifth Layer!

Linghai Sixth Layer!

Linghai Seventh Layer!

After breaking through three entire realms, his body, which had been reshaped by the system, was finally filled with power, and a sensation of profound comfort immediately arose, like a starving person who had just eaten their fill.

Mu Wuchen let out a long breath and slowly opened his eyes. At this point, only a few tens of seconds had passed since he swallowed Su Meier's essence blood.

At this moment, Su Meier was utterly astonished. Even with her demon emperor realm perspective, the scene before her still exceeded her comprehension. This was also the first time since she had known Mu Wuchen that something had caught her off guard.

She had seen other demon race geniuses absorb the demon emperor's blood before. Even those with stronger physiques among the demon race nearly died in the process and took several days to complete.

But what was this with Mu Wuchen? Just a few tens of seconds?

Was her blood just given away for free?

Giving Mu Wuchen a benefit?

Was her blood so useless?

Was there no justice left?

"Little fox."

While she was distracted, a voice suddenly echoed in Su Meier's Sea of Consciousness. It was Mu Wuchen's voice.

This was the mental transmission technique she had used on Mu Wuchen not long ago.

Su Meier was slightly startled and turned her head to look at Mu Wuchen.

As she looked into Mu Wuchen's eyes, she met a pair of strange pink pupils.

The moment she saw these peculiar pupils, Su Meier's own pupils suddenly became unfocused, and her body relaxed as if in a daze, her hands hanging motionless, like a lifeless toy.

Seeing this, Mu Wuchen slowly approached Su Meier, extended his hand, and gently stroked her exquisite face, then pinched it. He found that Su Meier still showed no reaction.

Could it be because Su Meier's cultivation was too low at this time?

Mu Wuchen controlled the Primordial Slave Seal, causing Su Meier's cultivation to slowly rise. He wanted to see the extent of what his newly acquired ability could do.

Under his control, Su Meier's cultivation slowly ascended: Body Tempering Ninth Layer, Ningqi First Layer, Ningqi Fifth Layer, Ningqi Ninth Layer...

Su Meier remained motionless.

Mu Wuchen then directed his pink eyes towards Su Meier's eyes again, the power of his gaze seemingly penetrating her Sea of Consciousness.

Suddenly, fragments of memories appeared in Mu Wuchen's mind...

Two beautiful white foxes chased each other through the forest, one in front of the other. The one in front was clearly larger and more agile, with four beautiful, striking fox tails and a pair of sapphire-blue eyes like gemstones.

The white fox running behind was noticeably smaller and more slender, but she only had two tails and was clearly much clumsier.

She panted, flapping her small paws, trying to catch up to the four-tailed fox in front, but she couldn't. However, her pair of pink eyes narrowed slightly, and her small mouth opened slightly, seemingly very happy...

"Sister, wait for me!"

The two-tailed little fox spoke, her voice a tender, bell-like female tone.

Suddenly, the scene shifted, and another sight emerged.

The four-tailed fox was gone now, only the two-tailed white fox trembled, her pink eyes showing terror. There were deep ligature marks on her neck. Several fearsome-looking male cultivators cornered her in a dark corner, and a scar-faced man stepped forward and reached for her neck...

Just as Mu Wuchen wanted to continue understanding, the scene abruptly shattered, and Su Meier had already regained clarity.

Her eyes were now full of spirit. She instinctively reached out, and a powerful force surged towards Mu Wuchen's head. That force clearly carried the aura of the Mystic Infant.

With her realm restored to the Profound Infant Realm, above the Linghai Realm, Su Meier finally broke free from Mu Wuchen's control.

Mu Wuchen lightly raised his hand and easily caught her striking, snow-white wrist. Su Meier's realm began to drop.

Su Meier instinctively struggled, trying to break free from Mu Wuchen's hand, but found that with her current cultivation, she was far from being Mu Wuchen's opponent and could only let him hold her.

Mu Wuchen looked at the fox woman before him with a playful expression. The scenes just now were clearly fragments of her memory, but unfortunately, they were incomplete, only two simple scenarios.

"Little fox, you're not behaving again. Punishment."

Mu Wuchen said calmly.

As Mu Wuchen's voice sounded, Su Meier's body directly knelt before Mu Wuchen.

Her realm had returned to Body Tempering Third Layer.

Su Meier did not mind her drop in cultivation, but instead looked at Mu Wuchen's pink pupils with complex emotions.

Mu Wuchen's method just now was actually the Heavenly Spirit Fox Clan's bloodline talent, the Heavenly Fox Eyes.

Possessing these eyes would greatly increase one's control over spiritual power, allowing one to control others and even read memories through powerful spiritual energy. Her Heavenly Fox Clan's illusions and charm techniques all relied on this.

Simply by using a bit of her essence blood, Mu Wuchen was able to acquire her clan's bloodline talent, and even use it on her!

"What did you just see?"

Just now, she felt that her Sea of Consciousness had been spied upon by Mu Wuchen.

Su Meier asked with some trepidation.

She vaguely felt that Mu Wuchen seemed to have read her memories, but she didn't know which ones Mu Wuchen had obtained. She had many secrets that she did not want Mu Wuchen to know.

Mu Wuchen rubbed his chin, a thoughtful expression on his face, then spoke:

"Nothing much to see. I just saw you naked when you first transformed into human form..."

Su Meier's face immediately flushed red, then white, then pink. She turned her head away, no longer bothering with Mu Wuchen.

It seemed she never gained any advantage in front of Mu Wuchen.

Su Meier's eyes flickered; she couldn't tell if Mu Wuchen was telling the truth or not.

Mu Wuchen looked at his slightly torn and disheveled clothes, then ordered Su Meier, who was beside him, to get up, fetch, and help him change into a white robe. Afterward, he sat down cross-legged on the spot to stabilize his cultivation.

After fulfilling Mu Wuchen's command, Su Meier found that her cultivation seemed to have increased a bit. Her strength, which had originally dropped to Body Tempering Third Layer, had now reached Body Tempering Fourth Layer.

Feeling the change in her strength, the little fox frowned deeply, and slightly raised her fair fingers, counting, seemingly calculating how long it would take her to recover her strength at this rate...
