Chapter 913: Chapter 835: The Grass on the Grave Is Really a Treasure

"Who are you trying to fool?"

Su Ran looked at the demon with disdain and said dismissively, "It was your heart that I injured back then that made you run away, kid. Have you forgotten that already in just a few short months?"

"Damn skeleton! If my demonic blood had been fully awakened at that time, how could you have exploited that weakness?!"

Bringing up the shameful past was like ripping off a scab, and the demon roared angrily, "Don’t let me catch you, I’ll definitely make you wish you were dead!"

Seeing the demon’s fearless demeanor, Su Ran couldn’t help but frown slightly.

The heart endures, the demon lives on...

This was trouble.

"Huh?"

After pondering over Yin Si’s words, Su Ran let out a light gasp and asked uncertainly, "Lord Yin Si, you mean to say that the heart only needs to be strongly stimulated, right?"

"Whatever method you use, as long as you cause the heart’s blood supply to become chaotic, that’ll suffice. There’s no need for a heavy blow."

Yin Si chuckled, an expression of someone enjoying the show on his face; the demon now posed little threat.

"Haha, that’ll be easy then!"

Su Ran’s eyes lit up. He called over Yin Si and the Drought Fiend to secure the demon so it couldn’t move. Once he was sure it was safe, Su Ran stepped forward and pulled out the fresh and juicy graveyard grass.

Graveyard grass?

Yin Si was taken aback, not understanding what Su Ran intended to do with the graveyard grass.

"Oh, Goodegg, if you don’t wake up now, I really would’ve wasted this graveyard grass..."

Su Ran crushed the graveyard grass forcefully, squeezing out the green juices and dripping them directly into... the demon’s nostrils.

With the demon’s mouth tightly shut and not even a crack visible, there was no choice but this last resort.

The drops of liquid, reeking of corpse oil, slipped through the demon’s nostrils into its body. With such intense gustatory stimulation, the demon began coughing violently, its body shaking uncontrollably, its eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

As the demon was coughing, Su Ran pulled out a large handful of graveyard grass and stuffed it into the demon’s mouth, pressing down on its chin to prevent it from spitting it out. The intense coughing stopped abruptly.

However,

Unable to bear this inhuman torture, the demon’s face turned red with the effort to contain it, and after a brief silence, it erupted like a volcano, spraying the graveyard grass five meters away with such force that it nearly spit out its own teeth.

"Ugh..."

The stimulus of the graveyard grass was unbearable for anyone, and the demon’s stomach started spasming violently. The physiological stimulation made it vomit uncontrollably, splashing gastric juice all over itself. At this point, the demon was a mess of tears and mucus, its chest heaving erratically, an image of utter misery.

"Oh? This graveyard grass also has such an effect? Truly remarkable."

Seeing the demon tormented like this, the wheeler-dealer Yin Si’s eyes flashed with surprise, as if he had discovered a new continent, and he clicked his tongue in amazement.

"No, this isn’t potent enough, we need to keep going!"

Su Ran noticed that although the demon’s reaction was intense, its heart was not much affected; the tattoos on its surface had not faded, only the rate of its beating had increased significantly.

Seeing the demon in such a pitiable state made Su Ran feel somewhat guilty, but this was his only chance, and if he missed it, it would be gone. Resolving to be tough, he grabbed another handful of graveyard grass, squeezed out the juice, and poured it straight down the demon’s throat.

"Ugh——"

Overwhelmed by the intense smell, the demon convulsed sharply and passed out cleanly. Its heart, however, beat more frenziedly, emitting a strange red glow, flickering incessantly.

"Hahaha, it’s done!"

Yin Si laughed heartily, took out a slender silver needle, and stabbed it into the heart with lightning speed, skillfully twirling it.

"Little skeleton, hurry up and invite Master Lu!"

"Understood!"

Su Ran wasn’t hard pressed to guess Yin Si’s intention, it had come to the most critical moment. As long as the old beggar awoke Dog Egg’s slumbering soul, that would be enough.

Soon, the old beggar hurried over, showing a speed that even Su Ran couldn’t match.

"M-mister, you’ve gone to great lengths, Dog Egg he, he..."

The old beggar was so excited that he couldn’t speak properly, but when he saw the silver needle inserted in the demon heart, his face turned deathly pale, wanting to say something but not managing to get the words out.

"No matter. This child hasn’t fallen too deep into demonic influence, there is still hope for salvation!"

Yin Si twirled the silver needle, and at the moment when the demon heart swelled to its limit, his expression turned stern. He suddenly pulled out the needle, and a jet-black blood arrow shot out. The demon’s body involuntarily shuddered, and a pained expression instinctively crossed its face. It was only when the blood turned bright red that Yin Si finally plugged the heart.

After the demon heart lost a great deal of blood, it appeared much deflated, and even the patterns on its surface vanished. Now the demon looked as if it were on the threshold of death, its breathing becoming much weaker.

"Master Lu, go quick and awaken Dog Egg’s soul!"

Reminded by Yin Si, the old beggar started earnestly calling out to Dog Egg, recounting his happy childhood and the unforgettable joyous times.

Gradually, Su Ran noticed two crystal-clear teardrops emerge at the corners of Dog Egg’s eyes, trickling down his darkened cheeks onto the ground, his expression also becoming peaceful.

As time passed, the Divine Phoenix’s time was up, turning into specks of light that vanished into the air, and the surrounding temperature quickly fell.

"Lord Yin Si, Dog Egg’s heart is damaged; will that affect him in the future?"

The disappearance of the phoenix was expected, and Su Ran wasn’t surprised. While anxiously awaiting Dog Egg’s awakening, he couldn’t help but ask the scheming Yin Si, worried.

"Heh heh, the weakening of the demon heart, that’s a major impact!"

Yin Si replied darkly, "A strong heart keeps the demon alive. This kid is in imminent danger!"

"What?"

Su Ran exclaimed in shock, his voice becoming sharp. He hadn’t expected the consequences to be so serious. Did he inadvertently harm Dog Egg?

"What’s the rush, let me finish!"

Seeing Su Ran falter, Yin Si finally flashed a smile, "Only when the demon consciousness perishes can Dog Egg’s soul break free from suppression; that’s when the kid will awaken from his slumber."

Damn, all that worry for nothing!

Turns out, it was the demon that was in imminent danger, not Dog Egg, that despicable merchant, panting for effect!

"That’s good, that’s good."

Seeing that Dog Egg could safely overcome this ordeal, the heavy stone pressing on Su Ran’s heart could finally be moved aside, greatly relieving his stress.

"Little skeleton, one thing you need to be aware of is that the demon’s heart has lost too much blood, and Dog Egg’s strength might diminish a great deal."

"What’s there to worry about, as long as Dog Egg regains his senses, strength and all that is immaterial!"

Su Ran didn’t take it seriously at all, looking at Dog Egg full of anticipation, wholeheartedly hoping for his awakening from the coma.
