Chapter 114 - Persecuted (2/2)
Hu Po looked at the moon. After awhile passed, he asked, “Ah Bai, are we really spiritual beasts?”

Ah Bai nodded, “Of course.”
Hu Po turned around and looked at him, “Then why don’t I feel the inheritance of a spiritual beast’s bloodline?”
Ah Bai thought about it for a bit, “I think it has a lot to do with the fact that we’ve never seen our parents before.”
Hu Po looked down at the bottomless abyss, “Golden Eyed Leopard said that if we want to awaken our bloodline, we’ll need to push ourselves into desperate straits. Hey, if I jump down from here, would I awaken my bloodline?”
He might…but it would be useless even if he did awaken it. Ah Bai said, “This is such a high cliff, you’ll fall to your death before anything else happens.”
Hu Po, “……”
Hu Po withdrew his gaze, turned around, and walked back.

Ah Bai asked, “Where are you going?”
“To cultivate.” Hu Po responded.
Ah Bai wagged his tail as he followed Hu Po. Both tiger cubs walked over to a rock on high ground that was closest to the moon and sat atop it. They closed their eyes, then began to use a cultivation method unique to demonic beasts to absorb the spiritual Qi between the heavens and the earth.

In a place like Mass Graves Ridge, corpses fresh out of the oven would appear there every day that would be thrown around casually.
The moon was shrouded in dark clouds above. Two figures — one tall and the other short — walked over to Mass Graves Ridge hand in hand.
Lin Xuanzhi scanned their surroundings, “Have you mastered the method of absorbing corpse Qi?”
Yan Tianhen nodded, “I’ve practiced it lots of times, so there shouldn’t be any problem.”

Thus, Lin Xuanzhi said, “I’ll set up a protective array for you from a side, get it done as soon as possible.”
After he retreated to one side, Lin Xuanzhi jumped onto a tall tree and found a good position that was convenient for monitoring their surroundings at all times. Since there was no time to lose, Yan Tianhen walked over to a cultivator’s corpse, settled himself down, then began his first absorption of corpse Qi for his cultivation.
It may be called corpse Qi, but in actuality, after cultivators die, the corpse Qi within their corpses is an amalgamation of all the cultivation and Qi they had accumulated while they were alive.
But during the time of death of a cultivator, a vast majority of their cultivation and Qi would have dissipated, and only a little residue would remain. One of the most important reasons an Imperial Corpse user is known as a demonic cultivator is because in the process of controlling a corpse, Imperial Corpse users would constantly absorb the Qi and cultivation in other corpses. This kind of behaviour of improving their cultivation through seizing other people’s cultivation instead of relying on themselves has always been regarded as disgraceful, so it was classified as an act of demonic cultivation.
Yan Tianhen absorbed all those corpse Qi into his own Dantian Qi sea. After he finished absorbing one, he would move onto another and only stopped after he had absorbed the corpse Qi in ten cultivator corpses.
Lin Xuanzhi jumped down and walked over to Yan Tianhen’s side. When he saw his pale complexion and bright red lips, his brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, “Will there be any negative side effects from absorbing this kind of corpse Qi?”
Yan Tianhen shook his head, “There won’t be any effect if I just absorb a small amount of it. At most, my complexion would look a bit uglier, but if I absorb a large amount of it, my lifespan would be reduced.”

Lin Xuanzhi’s face immediately darkened, “When I asked you about it before, that’s not how you answered me.”
Yan Tianhen felt a cold chill run down his spine. He immediately smiled and blinked, “I didn’t deceive Dage. It’s just that, absorbing all this corpse Qi is nothing much. Moreover, once I’ve refined that corpse such that it comes back to life, he will be able to come absorb corpse Qi by himself and won’t need to do so through me anymore. At most, I just need to provide him with a few drops of blood at intervals to promote his absorption.”
Lin Xuanzhi looked at him calmly, “I’ll believe you for now.”

After they returned to their yard, Yan Tianhen went straight into his room.
As soon as he entered and went around the screen, Yan Tianhen looked at Chigu, who was lying flat on his back on the bed stark naked.
Yan Tianhen was about to walk over when he was dragged back by Lin Xuanzhi, who had followed along.
“Isn’t Lin Yan a bit too careless with how he deals with matters?” Lin Xuanzhi frowned as he made Yan Tianhen turn around such that his back was facing that nude male, “Wait here for awhile. Don’t look at what you’re not supposed to.”

Yan Tianhen’s mind was enshrouded in fog, “What am I not supposed to look at?”
Lin Xuanzhi said with a profound tone, “You can’t just look at other people’s body so carelessly, or else you’ll get an eyelid inflammation.”
Yan Tianhen, “…….”
But, he isn’t that five or six year old kid who knows nothing ah.
After he made a brief visual assessment, Lin Xuanzhi estimated that the corpse’s stature should be similar to his, so he took a set of his own clothes and went back to Yan Tianhen’s room. Then he walked straight up to that corpse to put the clothes on him.
“It’s okay now, come over ba.”
When Yan Tianhen heard that, he turned around and saw Lin Xuanzhi tighten the waistband around that corpse.

He instantly felt a little sour, “Dage has never even dressed me before, yet you actually gave your own clothes to that corpse.”
Lin Xuanzhi tied a knot on the clothes belt and smiled, “He’s just a corpse, why would Ah Hen eat that kind of vinegar?”
Yan Tianhen was stunned and immediately blushed, “I’m not eating any vinegar, I’m not envious of him at all.”

Lin Xuanzhi looked at Yan Tianhen with a profound look in his eyes, “I see. Does Ah Hen also want Gege to dress you as well?”
Yan Tianhen said angrily, “Only kids let other people dress them.”
Lin Xuanzhi nodded, “Therefore, adults undress people.”
Yan Tianhen blinked and asked, “Dage, what do you mean by that?”

Lin Xuanzhi pressed against his forehead. How could he accidentally crack such a colourful joke around a child like Yan Tianhen, who had an incredibly pure heart as well.
He was being really inappropriate.
“It’s nothing much.” Lin Xuanzhi got up and gave up his seat for Yan Tianhen, “Transfer the corpse Qi to him quickly ba. If the corpse Qi stays in your body for too long, it won’t be good for your health.”
Yan Tianhen nodded, “It might take awhile, should Dage go take a short rest first?”
