CHAPTER 394: CHAPTER 381: THE HOMEBODY GIRL DOESN’T WANT TO GO OUT

"Xue Youyou, is everything alright with master over there?" Liu Rouxin felt the air trembling, glanced at Liang Yi and Su Youyi beside her, and finally decided to ask the sister within her.

In the space of the Sea of Consciousness, a young girl lies on a plush, white big bed in a cottage filled with books, holding an ancient thread-bound book in her hands.

The girl seemed to be around eighteen or nineteen, dressed in a white cool dress, the same color as the bed below. Possibly due to lack of grooming, her black hair appeared somewhat messy.

"Don’t worry, after losing the Blood Core, that thing no longer has any means to contend against your master. Now it’s just a matter of when your master wants to kill him," noticing the presence of Liu Rouxin in the room, Xue Youyou, who was lying on her stomach reading a book, responded without looking up.

Before the Blood Core was about to merge, she had sent a wisp of consciousness over and took a look at the situation there. Once the merging ceremony was interrupted, she knew this matter was pretty much resolved.

"Do you really think anyone can casually become a Blood Demon?" Xue Youyou scoffed at Jia Xian’s naive actions. Swallow a Blood Core and think you can become a Blood Demon? Has he eaten so much pork that his brain has turned into one?

Blood Demons are Innate Creatures, naturally born, completely different from the Human Race, a postnatal creature. To transform a postnatal creature into an Innate being with a Blood Core, Xue Youyou knew such a rare treasure existed, but it was definitely not the Blood Core.

Moreover, even though Jia Xian swallowed the Blood Core for power, the power represented by the Blood Core itself had completely changed, even if it was a Blood Core left by a Ninth Realm Blood Demon, it couldn’t exert much power in Jia Xian’s hands.

But if that thing was given to her, although she wouldn’t be able to instantly advance from no cultivation to the Ninth Realm, directly enhancing to the peak of the Seventh Realm or the early phase of the Eighth Realm would still be feasible. Once she simply went into seclusion and completely absorbed the Blood Core, she could reach the Ninth Realm unimpeded.

This is a Blood Demon’s talent; although there are many limitations, once an opportunity arises, advancing in realm is as easy as playing.

"Xue Youyou, with that Ninth Realm Blood Demon’s Blood Core, could you start cultivating?" Liu Rouxin stared at the somewhat distracted Xue Youyou, suddenly thinking of a possibility.

"Hmm... This method is indeed feasible," Xue Youyou, coming back to her senses, pondered for a moment, eventually nodding.

"Our Blood Demons are rare, across three epochs I only knew about three. One in the First Epoch, the one Liang Yi talked about before, and then there’s me, so I never really thought about using Blood Core to enhance myself."

Blood Demons share the same essence and engulfing each other is completely feasible. A strong Blood Demon’s Blood Core could be said to be the purest essence of fresh blood in the world, something every Blood Demon would desire.

This may also be the reason why few Blood Demons are born, as if many appeared, they’d surely be ruthlessly devoured by the strongest one.

But with fewer, that won’t happen; not to mention, even across an epoch, it’s rare to see another. Even if they did meet, who would devour the only other fellow of their race?

Liu Rouxin, with a body materialized in the Sea of Consciousness, sits beside Xue Youyou with her chin propped up, looking somewhat absent-minded.

"Hey, hey, you aren’t harboring some crooked idea, are you?" The sudden silence of Liu Rouxin made Xue Youyou, who was reading beside her, somewhat concerned, and she couldn’t help but shift her gaze from the book towards Liu Rouxin.

"It’s not that crooked," Liu Rouxin, being petite, even sitting at the edge of the bed her feet couldn’t touch the ground, felt somewhat embarrassed after hearing Xue Youyou’s question.

"How crooked is ’not that crooked’?" Xue Youyou rubbed her temples with some distress, setting the book she hadn’t finished aside. Using strength around her waist, she directly flipped over to sit next to Liu Rouxin.

Liu Rouxin used to encourage this girl to become a female demon when she was young, but now, as time goes by, her evil heart has faded, and her personality has become more reclusive. On the other hand, Liu Rouxin, who used to behave like a good girl when she was young, now shows an increasingly deviant trend; she even started playing the role of a caring big sister.

"I was just thinking of scraping a little off that Blood Core, by which Sister Blood could step into the First Realm, and then you could overcome your fear of blood and start cultivating, couldn’t you?"

Liu Rouxin’s little plan was making a loud metaphorical noise, sparing just a little shouldn’t have much impact, right?

"It’s useless, the Blood Core of a Ninth Realm Blood Demon has already become a perfectly flawless whole, once there’s any damage, the power within will start leaking uncontrollably." Xue Youyou shook her head, dismissing Liu Rouxin’s idea.

"Besides, Sister herself no longer has such a strong desire to cultivate anymore; whether to cultivate or not doesn’t matter."

Having turned into a homebody, Xue Youyou truly felt there were so many delicious and fun things in the world, why obsess over cultivation?

"But... Sister Blood, if you can’t cultivate, you can only stay here forever." Liu Rouxin looked at Xue Youyou somewhat sorrowfully. Although Sister Blood could conjure all kinds of books and delicious foods, isn’t it a pity not to see the world with your own eyes?

"Haha, aren’t you afraid Sister will go out and become a great demon who does nothing good?" Xue Youyou chuckled and ruffled Liu Rouxin’s hair.

Although Liu Rouxin was capricious and arrogant in the outside world, she was always like a child who never grew up in front of her.

If Liu Yishou was like a grandfather to Liu Rouxin, and Xu Yi played the role of a father, then Xue Youyou was like a mother to Liu Rouxin.

During Liu Rouxin’s loneliest and most helpless time in childhood, it was always Xue Youyou accompanying her. When encountering lethal dangers during her cultivation journey, it was often Xue Youyou who took over her body to help Liu Rouxin overcome difficulties.

The transformation of Xue Youyou, from a naturally cold-blooded Blood Demon to what she is now, was crucially influenced by Liu Rouxin.

The influences between the two who have been together for many years are mutual.

"It doesn’t matter whether I go out or not; let’s just go with the flow." Xue Youyou patted Liu Rouxin’s head indifferently.

"Um... okay." Since the person in question said so, Liu Rouxin could only reluctantly put away her immature idea.

Although she was aware that if her master found out about this, she would probably be scolded again for being a "rebellious disciple."

"Go and check; it should have ended over there." Xue Youyou went back to lying on the bed, picked up the unfinished book, and waved her hand towards Liu Rouxin.

"By the way, I’m almost done with my books here, help Sister collect some more when you have time."

"Got it, got it." Liu Rouxin looked at the towering piles of books around her, resignedly agreeing before vanishing from the spot.
