Chapter 206: Chapter 205: “Young Master, You Didn’t Do Anything with Her, Did You?”

Chapter 205: “Young Master, You Didn’t Do Anything with Her, Did You?”

Hearing Yao Ji’s words, Luo Wusheng was momentarily stunned, but his eyes lit up soon after.

Could this… could this be considered an official decree to pet the little pink fox?

Just moments ago, he had been lamenting not being able to draw special nether blood from Yao Ji, and he was already preparing to give up on refining it altogether. He had even started considering directly refining the drop of golden blood left behind by the headless Buddha statue that was now sealed within his body.

But now, it seemed… there was still hope after all?

—To be fair, at this point, all Luo Wusheng needed to do was nod in agreement, and everything would proceed smoothly.

But sometimes, surprises can lead to moments of irrationality.

He hesitated for a moment, showing a trace of reluctance on his face.

“I do want to help Miss Yao Ji recover as quickly as possible… but this technique has a peculiar aspect that I’m not sure you can accept…”

“Hmm?”

Yao Ji, who had just opened her mouth with a complicated expression, tilted her head in confusion at Luo Wusheng’s words.

Luo Wusheng, maintaining an air of seriousness, explained, “Miss Yao Ji must have noticed—this technique is a secret technique designed specifically for the Netherkin race. To be precise, it’s meant to be used on a Netherkin Origin Form.”

“In other words, if it’s applied to a Netherkin Humanoid Form, its effects will be greatly diminished. It’s not that the effects themselves differ each time, but the success rate would be significantly lower. And since I’m still a novice with this technique, I may only succeed a few times in a single day.”

“The success just now was merely a stroke of luck…”

As he spoke, he discreetly observed Yao Ji’s expression, ready to change his tune at the slightest sign of discontent.

Yao Ji’s face initially showed a glimmer of understanding.

She had been pondering earlier about how such an extraordinary technique must have some sort of limitation or condition.

After all, based on her personal experience, the technique did far more than simply stimulate spiritual energy through nether blood.

The activated nether blood seemed to have gained some unique properties, as though a hidden essence within it had been awakened. Although there were no visible changes yet, once the activation reached a certain threshold, it could enhance her spiritual energy recovery speed permanently.

This improvement might seem minor compared to an increase in her total spiritual energy, but at her level of cultivation, even a slight enhancement would result in a dramatic overall boost.

’However…’

She fully understood what Luo Wusheng’s words implied.

If the Humanoid Form wouldn’t work, then the technique must be applied to her Origin Form.

“So… does this mean that… Young Master must use the technique on this one Origin Form?”

Yao Ji’s delicate face turned red, and her three large tails twisted into a bundle.

This wasn’t entirely unacceptable… After all, due to her ’good friend’s interference, Young Master had already touched her entire Origin Form before…

But just as Luo Wusheng nodded, he quickly followed it up by shaking his head.

“Even on the Origin Form, repeatedly applying the technique to the same area would significantly lower the success rate…”

Yao Ji blinked her enchanting eyes, seemingly unsure of what Luo Wusheng was trying to convey.

Luo Wusheng, however, glanced at the tails behind her and made a circular motion with his finger.

“Hmm… Miss Yao Ji’s Humanoid Form combined with this part of her Origin Form seems to be several times larger than her Origin Form…”

The little pink fox was momentarily stunned.

And then her face was awash with a deep blush.

She finally understood what Luo Wusheng meant.

’He wants me to let him use the technique in my current state…’

The circular motion he had just made was clearly illustrating the size of her displayed Origin Form.

In her current state, without fully manifesting all three tails, she could only exhibit such a small portion of her Origin Form… even though her tails and ears in Humanoid Form appeared much larger.

The reasons behind this were complex, not something that could be explained in a sentence or two.

But to let Luo Wusheng cast the technique on her current ears and tails?

She recalled the peculiar sensation she felt earlier when her hand was affected by the technique.

Her ears and tails were already sensitive spots due to her being a Nine-Tailed Fox. Coupled with the sensation from the technique, and the fact that she still would need to have to maintain her humanoid appearance…

Her face grew hotter and hotter.

But she raised her eyes to look at Luo Wusheng’s face, lightly biting her lower lip.

“Is this really necessary?”

Luo Wusheng nodded with an innocent expression.

In a sense, what he said wasn’t entirely wrong.

After two attempts, he had begun to grasp the essence of the “Nether Uprising Technique.”

Apart from properly activating the technique, it required the infusion of a strong emotional connection—or at least a certain degree of emotional fluctuation toward the other party.

While petting a fox was delightful, having done it once before, it might not yield the same effect this time.

But now… before him stood a perfect fox-eared girl. The experience of petting her ears and tails—how refreshing and exciting would that be?

The intense stimulation could allow the secret technique to work more effectively. With a bit of luck, he might finally acquire some special nether blood.

Moreover, this technique established a connection, especially when positive emotions were infused. It was a rare opportunity to gain favor with her—something he’d never tried before.

Although most conspiracies had now surfaced, and he had a new plan of action, he couldn’t abandon his old strategies altogether.

Besides, having confirmed that a group of powerful beings would be busy with their ascension preparations and wouldn’t let him die prematurely in the chaos ahead, he had no reason to worry about being used as cannon fodder or as a sacrificial pawn to boost the protagonist’s strength.

Under such circumstances, getting close to the protagonist’s group wouldn’t cause any issues—only benefits.

After all, breaking the game within a year without tapping into the protagonist’s fortune was almost impossible.

That said, if Yao Ji showed any reluctance, he wouldn’t push her. At most, he’d just take it easy afterward and chalk up any success to sheer luck.

But Yao Ji, after a moment of silence, lowered her head and softly murmured, “Mm.”

However, she quickly added in a low voice, “As this one recovers her cultivation later, this one also hopes Young Master will tell her about everything you’ve encountered over the past day…”

Luo Wusheng’s initial smile froze slightly, and then he nodded silently.

He planned to tell Yao Ji everything, including the schemes of the Buddhist Sect.

He had withheld such information from Little Yuli not because of her lower cultivation level, but because, according to the original storyline, the young girl would soon face some major events. Disrupting the protagonist’s mental state and the plot’s progression would be unwise. At least not until she finished the Ancient Heavenly Gate arc.

Similarly, he also intended to withhold this information from Bai Xiaoyao.

But Yao Ji was different. She was a Peak Tribulation Crossing Realm cultivator and the former monarch of the Netherkin Nation who could offer him significant help. Moreover, she had no major role in the early stages of the original plot.

Not to mention that the white-furred little Rat had already been captured by her. Even if he said nothing, she had her ways to find out. It was better to speak to her directly.

As these thoughts ran through his mind, Yao Ji before him blushed deeply, unable to suppress her rising embarrassment. Her tails were tightly curled together as she shifted her gaze, clearly trying to change the subject.

“—By the way, that girl who entered the Antediluvian Nether Eye’s space earlier, the one who seemed a bit off—how is she now? Young Master… you didn’t do anything with her, did you?”
