The deafening roar from Mengli made Wulann's entire head buzz, his every hair on end.
In fact, Wulann didn't need Mengli to remind him of the demon bone's importance!
If the demon bone were lost and the memory information it contained were deciphered and spread, it would deliver a devastating blow to the demon cultivators.
It could even lead to their complete annihilation.
"Esteemed Mengli, the situation has come to this. Blaming me is useless. The only solution now is to find out who has obtained the demon bone!"
Wulann wiped the cold sweat constantly beading on his forehead and said, "Once we find that person, we'll find a way to force them to hand over the demon bone."
"If they refuse, we'll activate the mysterious power within the demon bone and kill them!"
Mengli, hearing this, roared in exasperation, "Wulann, have you lost your mind? The fact that this person could snatch the demon bone from Hainuoji means their combat skills are terrifying."
"When I implanted that demon bone into Hainuoji, I added three magical seals. Without heaven-defying means, no one could have discovered the demon bone, let alone taken it from Hainuoji."
"The fact that this person managed to snatch the demon bone from Hainuoji implies we cannot force them to hand it over through conventional means."
He glared ferociously at Wulann, "As for activating the demon bone's mysterious power to kill them, how can it be activated when the demon bone is in someone else's possession?"
"..." Wulann was suddenly speechless.
Mengli was right!
How could it be activated when the demon bone was in someone else's hands?
Why had he said such a foolish thing?
Wulann blinked his eyes and another idea surfaced, "Esteemed sir, how about this? I'll immediately send people to Huaxia to investigate who has obtained the demon bone."
"Then we can dispatch assassins from the demon cultivators to kill them and reclaim the demon bone!"
Mengli sighed, thinking that there was no other way.
After a moment's thought, he said, "Alright, go and arrange it as soon as possible. Our demon cultivator assassins are usually elites, so I hope they can complete the mission."
"Hainuoji's failure is not entirely your fault. I also bear responsibility. I should never have placed the demon bone on him so carelessly in the first place!"
"You go and make the arrangements!"
"Yes, esteemed sir!" Wulann responded and cautiously retreated.
...
Waking up in the morning, Cheng Xiaofan's face was filled with disappointment.
From the moment he fell asleep last night until dawn, not even a trace of a dream appeared.
He had hoped to relive the fervent fusion of souls with his goddess Bai on a dragon boat in the dreamscape, but nothing happened. How could he not be dejected?
Perhaps it was due to the lingering taste of pleasure, he couldn't help but think, even if he couldn't dream of Goddess Bai, having Shen Ruobing, his nominal disciple, substitute would have been acceptable.
As the thought flashed through his mind, he was shocked!
How could I have such a shameless thought?
This must be the dragon pearl's doing!
He wiped the cold sweat from his face and sighed to himself, "Cheng Xiaofan, Cheng Xiaofan, you'll eventually be corrupted by the dragon pearl and ruin your image!"
Cheng Xiaofan leaped out of bed.
After washing up, he went to the balcony and stretched his body while facing the eastern dawn.
With a swing of his arms, his muscles bulged, and a series of crackling sounds emanated from his joints. His blood seemed to surge like a rushing flood, roaring with immense power.
"Wow, Mr. Cheng, you're so beautiful!" At that moment, Melina's sweet and melodious voice came from behind Cheng Xiaofan.
Cheng Xiaofan immediately stopped exercising, turned around, and found Melina wearing a low-cut, tight-fitting slip dress, looking at him with an infatuated and incredibly charming gaze.
The slip dress was as thin as it could possibly be.
It was like wearing nothing at all.
It was too much for the eyes.
"Ms. Melina, are you still feeling dizzy today?" Cheng Xiaofan immediately shifted his gaze to her face and asked with a smile.
Melina quickly replied, "My head still feels a bit dizzy. Mr. Cheng, please stay here for a few more days. I'm afraid of what might happen if you leave!"
In reality, Cheng Xiaofan could see clearly that she was completely fine.
There were two reasons she didn't want him to leave: First, she had just returned from the brink of death and was terrified, fearing further accidents.
The second reason was that she had taken a liking to him.
Cheng Xiaofan's dragon eyes not only possessed x-ray vision but could also perceive people's hearts. He could grasp what others were thinking through his heaven-defying eyes.
But!
Yesterday, he had promised everyone at the foreign affairs office that he would stay for one more day. It wouldn't be good to go back on his word.
Cheng Xiaofan said, "Melina, I understand your situation. I'll stay for one more day at most, and I'll be leaving tomorrow!"
"Mr. Cheng, if you stay for a few more days, I'll give you a million US dollars every day. What do you think?" Melina said, her eyes like silk threads looking at the man before her.
A million US dollars a day, equivalent to nearly seven million Chinese Yuan!
This was a deal worth making!
If I were to say I'm leaving now, I'd be a complete fool, a natural-born idiot!
"Ms. Melina, I need two seconds to consider this. Hmm, okay, I think that's acceptable!" Cheng Xiaofan immediately agreed with a smile.
"Thank you, Mr. Cheng!"
Melina excitedly rushed forward and hugged Cheng Xiaofan.
A warm embrace filled with fragrance and softness!
This feeling was a bit overwhelming!
Cheng Xiaofan quickly pushed her away and said sternly, fabricating on the spot, "I'm sorry, you cannot get too excited. It can cause your blood pressure to rise and even severely damage your brain nerves, leading to unimaginable consequences!"
"Ah, what kind of consequences would that be?" Melina was suddenly startled.
Cheng Xiaofan gritted his teeth and said word by word, "It would turn you into a complete idiot!"
Melina shivered all over and asked with a pale face, "Mr. Cheng, what should I do then?"
Cheng Xiaofan immediately uttered eight words: "All emptiness, pure six senses!"
Melina asked doubtfully, "All emptiness, pure six senses?"
Cheng Xiaofan nodded and said, "That's right. All emptiness, pure six senses means to see everything in the world as empty and not to think about anything!"
"Mr. Cheng, does that mean I have to become a nun?" Melina asked.
"..." Cheng Xiaofan was taken aback!
This beauty understood everything!
It seems I can't just fool around in front of her.
If I were to trick her into becoming a nun and shaving her head for spiritual cultivation, and her father came to Huaxia looking for her, I wouldn't be able to bear that responsibility.
He quickly corrected himself, "Ms. Melina, you've misunderstood me. I mean that you need to maintain this state until your brain nerves have fully recovered."
"Once your brain nerves are completely healed, you can think whatever you want and do whatever you wish!"
