Dawnless Sovereign-Chapter 66: Womans Intuition

"After we've each taken a Marrow Cleansing Pill, we can cultivate here. Each of us should build a little igloo for ourselves, and I think there's a nearby pond that we can use to wash ourselves."

Yu Zhongge took a glance at Mo Ganyun's hulking frame, then added, "I think you're gonna need two of these, Little Yunyun."

"Don't mind if I do!" Mo Ganyun harrumphed as he grabbed two pills from Yu Zhongge without any hesitation.

"Even after taking the Marrow Cleansing Pill, we have to make sure that we only progress one rank at a time and don't skip any ranks. After each breakthrough, we should travel a few hundred kilometers to acclimate to our newfound power," Qiu Yunshang proposed.

Elsewhere, in an even harsher and more inhospitable environment, Wu Zhibing had just slain a demon beast with his spear.

Jun Hefang and Hua Kaixie immediately rushed in to conduct a thorough search.

"Nothing here."

"No Underworld Soul Restoration Herbs on my end, either. Only a few Earth Spirit Fruits."

"Let's eat the fruits, then continue our search," Wu Zhibing sighed.

They had taken on a mission from the southeastern headquarters, which required them to bring back at least ten Underworld Soul Restoration Herbs.

Those herbs were to be refined into Yin Yang Soul Restoration Pills in preparation for the upcoming battle.

Wu Zhibing's trio had already completed the same mission in the past, so they were experienced and had been tasked with carrying out the mission again.

They had come to the same place as last time, but there didn't seem to be any Underworld Soul Restoration Herbs left.

Along the way, they had fought many formidable demon beasts and obtained many precious natural treasures, but their mission target remained as elusive as ever.

Even though their cultivation bases had been advancing rapidly, that did nothing to lift their spirits because they knew that the lives of countless comrades hinged on the success of this mission.

"Let's keep going."

In the opposite direction, Dong Yunyu was facing an Emperor tier demon beast on his own, with a loud and fluent string of profanities and derogatory terms streaming out of his mouth to complement his sword techniques.

The demon beast naturally couldn't understand him, but he was still blasting insults at the top of his lungs, and the more he did so, the more formidable his attacks became.

As it turned out, he had been hiding a secret from everyone, which was that his battle intent and mental state could be elevated by insulting others. This was the reason why he had detached himself from Wu Zhibing's trio in the first place.

"Wu Zhibing, you cocky asshole! I hope you get that pretty little face of yours permanently disfigured by a demon beast! Jun Hefang, you dumb virgin! I bet you can't get it up even if I gave you an aphrodisiac pill! I haven't forgotten about you, Hua Kaixie, you little shit! You ain't got no dick, just a tiny ass clit! Hey, that's bars!

“I'm a lyrical genius! Ha! And you, Fang Che, you sly little bastard! You sent me to that other restaurant to get the shit beaten out of me! I can't believe I fell for that! Once I get back, I'm going to beat you to a pulp!"

The Emperor tier demon beast was feeling extremely frustrated as it held on for dear life against Dong Yunyu.

It had no idea what was going on with this human. He was spouting a bunch of nonsense that it couldn't understand, but the more he rambled, the stronger he became!

Thus, it began to roar in retaliation, but that only seemed to further excite its human opponent, and he began yelling back at the top of his lungs while continuing to go from strength to strength.

The demon beast was terrified.

What the hell is going on?! I don't understand what's happening right now!

It was already wounded, but it was unable to get away, and before long, it fell to its demise by Dong Yunyu's sword.

Dong Yunyu continued rambling to himself as he extracted the demon beast's inner core, then skinned it before carefully dissecting its carcass and splitting up its bones, flesh, and other bodily tissues.

After looking around cautiously to ensure that there was no one nearby, he pulled a storage ring and stowed everything away inside.

After that, he continued insulting anyone that he could think of while eagerly collecting the natural treasures that the demon beast had been guarding, and it seemed that he derived much more joy from insulting others than from his victory against the demon beast.

"What can I do for you, Young Master Chen?"

"I need you to go to the White Cloud Prefecture and deliver a batch of resources to Night Demon."

"Night Demon?"

"That's right. While you're there, take a look at him for me and see if he's actually as incredible as everyone makes him out to be."

"Are you interested in him, Young Master Chen?"

"A little. As long as he doesn't die, there's a decent chance that he'll rise to the same heights as me and Yan Beihan someday, so it can't hurt to invest in him early."

"It sounds like you're still a little skeptical about his abilities, Young Master Chen."

"Of course. I hadn't even heard of this Night Demon at all before the Parasite Ascension Project. It's like he's come out of nowhere, and I can't help but feel a little suspicious. For prodigies of our caliber, like Yan Beihan and myself, all of us were widely renowned from a very young age, but it's like he suddenly materialized out of thin air!

“I presume the One Heart Church has made some moves to conceal information about his past, but I'm sure you can get around that."

"Yes, Young Master Chen."

"Make sure to do it fast. Once Night Demon begins to grow into his full potential, he's going to completely erase his past to ensure that no one can find out anything about him. That's the one common trait that people like us share."

After sending his subordinate on his way, Young Master Chen rose up into the air, then casually took a mid-air stroll over to a palace that was surrounded by gardens full of vibrant flowers.

There was a potent floral aroma in the air, and Young Master Chen smiled as he asked, "Are you there, Yan Beihan?"

"What do you want, Chen Yin?"

Judging from the tone of Yan Beihan's voice, this Chen Yin was clearly not a welcome guest.

"I've come to visit you."

"I'm busy."

"I want to have a chat with you about a certain person."

"Who?"

"Night Demon."

Sure enough, that was enough to pique Yan Beihan's interest, and she drifted out of her floral palace.

"Why do you want to talk about Night Demon?"

"I'm very interested in him, and I know that you haven't recruited him as an ally."

"So what?" Yan Beihan asked with a cold expression.

"Let's not beat around the bush. You and I both know that we'll need powerful allies and subordinates if we want to rise to greater heights. I don't know who this Night Demon has allied himself with during the Parasite Ascension Project, but I'm certain that we're superior to them in status. Perhaps you know who he allied himself with. In any case, I wanted to come and have a chat with you about him."

"I don't think there's anything to talk about. It's too early to determine anything right now."

"It can't hurt to make early plans. What do you think of this Night Demon? Is he someone that can be used? How lofty are his ambitions? Where does his future lie?"

"I have no interest in considering such pointless questions," Yan Beihan scoffed.

"And that's why you'll never truly be able to reach the top. Someone with the ambition to reach the very top must constantly be scrutinizing details that are missed by others and hatching elaborate plans earlier than everyone else."

"That's why you're destined to reach the top, while I'm just a clueless woman, is that what you're saying?"

"Not at all! I just want to hear what you think of him. Your input is very important to me."

A doting look appeared on Chen Yin's face as he began, "Beihan, you..."

A layer of goosebumps was instantly raised over Yan Beihan's skin, and she hurriedly took a step back as she threw her hands up in surrender.

"Stop! I'll tell you what I think of Night Demon as long as you don't speak to me in that nauseating tone!"

Chen Yin's expression instantly stiffened, and he sighed, "Fine. Tell me what you think of him then."

"When it comes to Night Demon... I want to take a bit more time to observe him before I make a decision."

"Are you struggling to gauge him?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"That's right," Yan Beihan admitted. "I feel like he's harboring some secrets."

"Is your woman's intuition telling you that?"

"Yes."

"Women's intuition is not an exact science, but it's often very accurate," Chen Yin mused.

"I'm planning to make Night Demon a subordinate of mine in the future, so I suggest you keep your hands off him," Yan Beihan warned.

"Let me remind you that Night Demon is a man, and a man of great potential, at that, so he may not be willing to serve a woman."

"We'll just have to wait and see then!"

"I've already sent someone to deliver him some resources. Regardless of whether I can win him over or not, it can't hurt to invest in him."

"Are you trying to steal him from me?"

Yan Beihan was furious.
