Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter-Chapter 383 - 143: One Year Later, Fourth House, Unusual Events, Mastering the Flower Demon
Li Yuan said: "I’m not happy with you like this."
Jing Shuixiang looked at Li Yuan with a face full of panic, repeatedly saying: "I’m sorry, I’m sorry... I’ll change, I’ll change."
Then she ran to the side, took off her thick coat, and put on a very alluring sheer garment. In this cold weather, she knelt beside Li Yuan with a smile, raised her snow-white neck, held a tray, looked at him flatteringly, waiting for him to eat.
Li Yuan wanted to say something but stopped.
Such a routine was not uncommon.
The woman in front of him would always misunderstand his intentions.
Even if his intentions were kind, this woman would always imagine them as "greed" or "desire", then force herself to make the corresponding response to please him.
But, it seemed to be getting more and more out of hand...
Li Yuan quickly finished his meal and swiftly pulled Jing Shuixiang into the bedding.
Jing Shuixiang began to twist her body, using every effort to please him desperately, to make him happy, pleased...
The next day, sunlight penetrated the oiled paper window, shining on the bed.
When Li Yuan made a move to get up, Jing Shuixiang quickly ran out, wanting to prepare to serve her man.
But Li Yuan pressed her down, held her still, and while using his voice to suppress her, he dressed himself and then gently said to her: "Sleep a little more."
He walked outside, where someone was already waiting for him.
It was a scholarly-looking man, none other than the Patriarch Jing Banfeng of the Jing Family.
Currently, in dealing with Li Yuan, Jing Banfeng always came personally and would never send other family members. This was also elevating Li Yuan to a very high status.
At this moment, he said in a friendly manner: "Master Li was resting yesterday, so I didn’t disturb you. Seeing Master Li now, you seem to be in good condition, right?"
Li Yuan rubbed his forehead and said: "Just a bit tired, but it’s nothing now."
Jing Banfeng excitedly said: "I heard that Master Li has tamed the Rebirth Flower Demon?"
Li Yuan said: "Patriarch, you can let that Flower Demon out... I can control it."
"Really?!!"
Jing Banfeng was so delighted he almost jumped up.
Li Yuan nodded and said: "Why don’t I show it to the Patriarch?"
"Alright, alright!" Jing Banfeng was extremely excited.
Li Yuan watched his expression.
He knew... his "access permissions" were about to reopen once again.
...
...
A month later.
Li Yuan received an order from the Hall Master to cooperate with the elite members of the hall to go out and survey the "terrain".
The so-called "terrain survey" was using death row prisoners to explore the patterns of a certain Ghost Realm, to prevent a repeat of unaccounted losses like "Mu Chen" during a major battle here.
What Li Yuan needed to do was to establish an "isolation belt" to keep any potentially disruptive enemies out.
If they really wanted to come over, they would have to fly.
And this would block the vast majority of enemies.
...
Swish, swish, swish...
The cloak fluttered fiercely in the cold wind on the high cliff.
Standing on the high cliff were Li Yuan and Cui Wuji.
The Ancestor of the Cui Family had become Li Yuan’s partner, always protecting this "highly strategic genius Weapon Forger and genius Demon Tamer".
Li Yuan glanced at his "2600~3350", then at the Ancestor of the Cui Family’s "1480~3010", and said: "Thank you, Ancestor."
Cui Wuji laughed and said: "No need to be polite, let’s get to work."
Li Yuan said: "It can be done in three days at most."
Saying this, his chest suddenly bulged, and a bewitching red flower crawled out from his neckline.
The Flower Demon poked its head out and extended its roots.
The roots, like legs, quickly ran far and soon took root, scattering seeds...
As time passed by, a spot of red appeared on the mountain, spreading rapidly to both sides like a long, flame-like blood-red "flower wall".
At first, it was very slow, but after a few hours, the expansion speed of the "flower wall" reached an unbelievable level.
Two and a half days later, this "flower wall" surrounded an area like a city wall.
Cui Wuji clicked his tongue in amazement. As he approached one of the flowers slightly, he felt a visionary fragrance wafting in the wind. The layers of visionary fragrance entwined together, unexpectedly making him feel a bit dizzy and dazed.
"This flower is indeed effective.
Those below Sixth Grade will all be stopped."
Cui Wuji thought for a moment and continued, "Right, what if they dig tunnels and come from underground, is that possible?"
Li Yuan said: "I instructed the Flower Demon about a certain area, and wherever a flower can bloom, it will...
If someone digs a tunnel, seeds and petals will be scattered on them, and the tunnel they dug will also be filled with seeds.
The petals are sticky and toxic and will initiate the first attack.
If they manage to block it, the seeds will also get into the invader’s flesh, then quickly take root and sprout. This is the second attack.
Sixth Grade Martial Artists can manage, Seventh Grade Martial Artists can hold on for a little while, but Eighth Grade Martial Artists might have roots break through their skin immediately, then take root and sprout in their flesh.
Moreover, approaching this area is difficult in itself because of the heavy visionary fragrance here, which is a constant attack...
If they avoid all of these, they have an hour of invasion time. However, this could trigger a major disturbance. We can also be on alert in advance."
Cui Wuji said with interest: "Taking root and sprouting in the flesh? If the flower eats the flesh, will it become stronger?"
Li Yuan said: "I haven’t tried yet."
Cui Wuji said: "You should try. The Hall Master would surely support it. If it can eat flesh, maybe we can plant it in the Meat Field and see?"
Li Yuan glanced at the Ancestor of the Cui Family and said: "Let’s try it when we get back."
Cui Wuji excitedly said again: "I heard this flower can reproduce infinitely... Could it turn the entire Mianzhou Path into a labyrinth, making it impossible for outsiders to come in?
And those who want to leave the city would need the map we provide."
Li Yuan said: "It’s not that exaggerated. The root lies with the Flower Demon. If the Flower Demon rises for more than an hour, then the flowers extending from it will all wither."
This information didn’t need to be hidden; he just told Cui Wuji what the Jing Family had concealed.
In fact, ever since he controlled the Rebirth Flower Demon, these were no longer secrets.
"I see..." Cui Wuji murmured, "That’s already very strong."
He looked at Li Yuan with bright eyes and said: "Master Li, you truly are a treasure."
Li Yuan was speechless...
As the two talked, below the cliff, inside the wall of enchanting Rebirth Flowers, appeared hundreds of gray-clad death row prisoners, while the disciples of the Divine Wood Hall began to drive them in all directions, starting to explore the Ghost Realm patterns covered by this "Paradise".

Postscript: There were many miscellaneous matters today, so I only wrote this much. I will try to return to 8000+ words tomorrow.
