The night was silent.

Chapter 575 The Power of Bloodline

Chen Yao was Brother Chen’s niece.

It was quite unexpected that she agreed to follow her martial uncle to learn the Dao.

However, if Chen Yao were to learn the Dao, she would likely become truly formidable.

This was due to her exceptionally advantageous innate conditions.

After we chatted for a while, Chen Yao fell asleep.

Brother Chen then told me about Chen Yao’s situation.

She was the daughter of his elder brother, just eighteen years old.

Chen Yao’s father had passed away when she was ten.

She had been living with her mother.

But her mother had remarried last year.

Now, Chen Yao was primarily under Brother Chen’s care…

As we talked, dawn broke.

Brother Chen returned to Chen Yao’s hospital room, and we also paid a visit to Master Jiang’s room.

We briefly recounted last night’s events to Master Jiang.

Master Jiang was also very shocked to learn that Chen Yao was willing to follow the martial uncle to learn the Dao.

However, after his surprise, he quickly regained his composure.

With the hospital matters settled, we left the hospital around eight in the morning.

Everyone looked quite exhausted.

Upon returning to the shop, I went to the backyard to check on Xiao Mei.

Xiao Mei was still asleep, enveloped in spiritual energy.

I didn’t disturb her; she must be at a critical stage of her cultivation, otherwise she wouldn’t have slept for so long.

I was extremely tired.

I collapsed onto the bed and fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was already the next morning.

I yawned and circulated some energy.

I discovered that my internal true qi had stabilized considerably.

The color of my Ghost Life Money had deepened from purple to a reddish hue.

This indicated that a substantial amount of lamp oil had been stored.

At least for the next year, I wouldn't have to worry about my own lifespan.

Stepping out of my room, I noticed the television was on.

Entering the living room, I found Xiao Mei standing there watching TV.

She was still wearing a maid outfit with cat ears.

I was stunned on the spot:

“Xiao Mei, what are you doing?”

Xiao Mei turned around to face me.

She performed a cat-like gesture of licking her paw:

“I learned it from the TV…”

I was speechless.

Looking at the TV, I saw a cosplay program.

On the screen, several cat-girls were posing while photographers snapped pictures, nearly prompting someone to call security.

“Xiao Mei, why are you watching this? It’s not suitable for you.”

As I spoke, I grabbed the remote control and changed the channel for her.

“Battalion Commander, where is your Italian cannon?”

A military drama appeared on the television.

I thought it was acceptable, so I said to Xiao Mei:

“This is good, you should watch this from now on…”

Xiao Mei tilted her head, looking somewhat confused.

Yawning, I didn’t offer further explanation and went to the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth.

After brushing my teeth, I found that Xiao Mei was no longer watching television.

She had transformed back into her original form and was lying on the sofa.

Seeing me emerge, she said to me:

“Qin Ze, I’m so hungry, I want to eat chicken!”

“Alright, wait for me, I’ll go buy some and come back.”

I called out to her and left the inner room.

I opened the shop.

Master Jiang should be discharged from the hospital today.

Chen Yao only had superficial injuries. When she returned, Old Mo said he would look after her.

Therefore, there was nothing for me to do.

I could do as I pleased and perhaps visit Blackwater Mountain later.

To witness the grand occasion of the Daoist sect’s C-level assembly.

And to experience various factions.

With these thoughts in mind, I arrived at the market.

I bought some breakfast to eat and also purchased several turkeys.

Passing by the mobile phone store, I took the opportunity to buy a new phone.

By the time I returned to the shop, half an hour had passed.

Xiao Mei saw me carrying the yellow chickens and rushed over with “ao ao” cries.

It seemed she had been starving these past few days.

Watching Xiao Mei gnawing on a chicken, I asked:

“Xiao Mei, you’ve been cultivating these past few days. Have you broken through?”

Xiao Mei was currently chewing on a chicken head, making “ge zhi ge zhi” sounds:

“Mhm, I’m close to forming an inner core.”

Upon hearing this, I couldn’t help but be surprised.

Close to forming an inner core.

According to the cultivation analysis within our circles, Xiao Mei’s cultivation level would be comparable to mine, wouldn’t it?

Wasn't it said that monster cultivation was very slow?

Yet, Xiao Mei’s cultivation seemed to be progressing like a rocket.

She was only at the Soul Palace early stage or thereabouts before, wasn't she?

“Xiao Mei, why is your cultivation speed so fast?

Isn’t the cultivation of you monsters very slow?”

I asked, my voice filled with confusion.

Xiao Mei continued eating as she replied:

“Because I’m a white fox! My bloodline is different.”

I was taken aback.

It seemed that apart from talent, monsters truly did have a concept of bloodline.

Therefore, I inquired with curiosity:

“Xiao Mei, what is your bloodline?”

“Sky Fox bloodline. Both my parents cultivated to eight tails.”

Xiao Mei replied casually.

However, upon hearing this, I was extremely shocked.

“Eight tails” was truly astonishing.

Among demon foxes, the most powerful was the Nine-Tailed Fox.

And the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox was a terrifying great demon that only appeared in legends.

Yet, Xiao Mei’s parents had cultivated to eight tails.

What level of cultivation did that imply?

With such parents, it was no wonder Xiao Mei had such an amazing bloodline.

But I recalled Xiao Mei mentioning before that she had no parents.

She had grown up with Grandma Hu San Tai Nai.

How did such terrifying great demons disappear?

I didn’t press further.

But I did cast a few more glances at Xiao Mei.

In that case, as Xiao Mei grew, she would become incredibly powerful…
