"Ah, you are Hei Meigui..."
The Spirit Saint let out a scream of terror upon recognizing the attire of the person before him.
His face was ashen, believing he was doomed for daring to stop this female god of death. There was no good end for him.
Unexpectedly, Hei Meigui didn't even glance at him, walking past him with large strides.
As for the others, upon hearing the name Hei Meigui, they lacked the courage to stop her, allowing her to leave.
Thus, Hei Meigui walked out of the Heavenly Realm Inn as if no one were there, swaggering out.
No one knew that Hei Meigui's strength had not yet recovered, and it was her weakest moment. These people had missed the best opportunity to capture her.
Upon exiting the Heavenly Realm Inn, Hei Meigui felt something was amiss.
The spiritual energy within her surged like a sea, her bloodline pulsed, and her aura became chaotic.
She bit her lip, wondering if the poison she had taken earlier still lingered.
However, when she circulated her spiritual energy to investigate, she found no signs of poisoning.
Not only that, but she was surprised to discover that the shackles that had been bothering her body showed signs of loosening.
Hei Meigui's cultivation had been stuck at the peak of the Spirit Saint realm for a long time, with no progress.
After all, it was incredibly difficult to break through to the Spirit Emperor realm. This threshold was as solid as a rock, and many cultivators could not break through it in their entire lives.
But unexpectedly, this threshold had now loosened!
"Could it be that kiss?"
Her mind couldn't stop replaying the scene of her kissing Ji Mo, her heart in disarray.
Just then, she had a premonition, as if a hidden force surged forth, and the bottleneck that had been troubling her began to shatter.
The shackles vanished, and her cultivation soared.
Hei Meigui finally reached a step that countless cultivators struggled to achieve, pushing open the door to the Emperor realm and stepping into it, reaching the Half-step Spirit Emperor realm.
She was on the verge of fully entering the Emperor realm, but the surging power had been exhausted.
She stopped there, only half a step away from becoming a true Spirit Emperor.
She had a feeling that perhaps one more kiss with that scoundrel would allow her to completely enter the Emperor realm.
"Oh, what am I thinking? How can there be such a good thing in the world as breaking through a realm just by kissing?"
Hei Meigui covered her flushed cheeks with her hands, feeling ashamed of her thoughts. Kissing could increase cultivation; how could she have such an absurd notion?
"Scoundrel, you took such great advantage of me. Just you wait, I swear I will kill you."
Hei Meigui shook her head to regain her composure, her body transforming into a black mist and disappearing.
After a long while.
A dark shadow appeared and muttered to itself, "I don't know what fortuitous encounter Hei Meigui had to become a Half-step Spirit Emperor. However, she is not a man, and I have no need to provoke her."
The dark shadow looked towards the Heavenly Realm Inn in the distance, revealing a sinister smile.
There, was the target of his obsession.
...
Inside the Heavenly Realm Inn.
"Xiao Bao, you're quite something."
Ji Mo looked at Ying Tianbao, who was only wearing his underwear, and then at Yao Weiwei emerging from his room, a smile with a hidden meaning on his face.
A man and a woman alone in a room, it was obvious what had happened.
He just hadn't expected the arrogant demoness from earlier to be mixed up with Ying Tianbao.
Indeed, rich people were liked by girls, even demons were no exception.
"Why are you smiling? It's not what you think."
Yao Weiwei quickly defended herself. Seeing the annoying smile on Ji Mo's face, a nameless anger rose within her.
Nothing had happened between her and Ying Tianbao. If this misunderstanding spread, how would she face people in the future?
As the Saintess of the Howling Moon Silver Wolf tribe, she was supposed to maintain an image of purity.
"Brother Mo, we are not having an illicit affair. We are truly in love at first sight."
Ying Tianbao quickly explained, afraid that Ji Mo would misunderstand him as a promiscuous man.
"Shut up, what nonsense are you talking about? Who is in love at first sight with you?"
Yao Weiwei was flustered.
Ji Mo's face showed a strange expression. This demoness was indeed not a good person. Could she be after Ying Tianbao's money?
Ying Tianbao said softly, "My dear, stop pretending. If you didn't like me, why would you sneak into my room in the middle of the night? Brother Mo is not an outsider, you don't need to be shy or hide anything."
"Wow... sneaking into the room in the middle of the night!"
Ji Mo exclaimed, surprised that the demoness was so bold and proactive.
"If you keep talking nonsense and ruin my reputation, I will kill you."
Yao Weiwei was furious, wishing she could kill these two bastards before her.
Especially Ji Mo, who kept winking and making faces, which was unbearable for her.
But when she thought of Hei Meigui's experience earlier, her hair stood on end, and she dared not harbor any hostility.
If she provoked this devil, she might suffer a tragic fate.
Finally, unable to bear it any longer, she stomped her foot and turned to leave.
"Why are you still standing there stupidly? Go after her. Girls are shy. Go and coax her,"
Ji Mo kindly reminded Ying Tianbao.
Ying Tianbao chuckled and immediately chased after her, completely unaware that he was still only wearing his underwear.
"As expected, true love can transcend species."
Ji Mo sighed, and began to believe in love again.
Then he returned to his room to sleep.
However, he never expected that Ying Tianbao would disappear after going out.
The next day, Ji Mo found that Ying Tianbao had not returned overnight and went to inquire at the inn.
The innkeeper told him that Ying Tianbao and Yao Weiwei had both left the inn last night and had not returned since.
"This guy, could he have lost control and is having fun outside?"
Ji Mo was unconcerned, thinking Ying Tianbao had gone to enjoy some private time, and didn't think much of it.
It wasn't until three days later, when Ying Tianbao still had no news, that he felt something was wrong.
Even if he was having a private time, he should at least send a message back, why was there no news?
Moreover, he heard that night thieves had reappeared recently, abducting several handsome young men.
"It's over, could Xiao Bao have met with foul play?"
Ji Mo finally considered this possibility.
Night thieves specifically targeted handsome young men, and Ying Tianbao was also a rare beauty. It was highly likely that something had happened to him.
He then asked the Heavenly Realm Inn to send people to search for Ying Tianbao's whereabouts, but after two days, there was still no news.
Ying Tianbao had vanished as if he had evaporated from the earth, disappearing without a trace.
This situation was the same as those men abducted by the night thieves.
Without a doubt, Ying Tianbao had indeed run into trouble, and it was highly likely that he had been abducted by the night thieves.
"Could that demoness have done it?"
Ji Mo first suspected Yao Weiwei, because Ying Tianbao had gone to chase Yao Weiwei that night, and then disappeared.
Yao Weiwei was a major suspect.
Furthermore, Yao Weiwei had not appeared in the past few days, perhaps she had fled out of guilt.
