Purple lightning flashed, forming a net to restrain and suppress the white ape. Lian Nishang, Ling Yu’er, and the others quickly rushed over. Seeing the powerful Rank 4 demon in such a sorry state, Ling Yu’er, Li Yi and Ji Yun, the Rank 3 Demon Subduing Division students, revealed looks of admiration. Lord Shen was the same age as them, but he could easily suppress Rank 4 demons.
“Brother Shen is still the best.” Lian Nishang stuck out her tongue mischievously and killed the white ape with her saber.
Lieutenant Lu and the other Ju County’s Demon Suppression Division members walked over and flattered him. This white ape was not weak. Even a fifth-level expert would have to spend some effort to deal with it. In the end, Lord Shen dealt with it in less than a few hours. Such efficiency was truly shocking.
“Lieutenant Lu, your county should be able to deal with the other demons under the white ape, right?”
The rest were all Rank 3. If he couldn’t even deal with the third rank, then Ju County’s Demon Suppression Division wouldn’t exist anymore. Lieutenant Lu hurriedly said, “Lord Shen, don’t worry. Our Ju County will definitely kill the remaining demons.”
Shen Ping nodded, “I’ll have to trouble Lieutenant Lu to make some arrangements. I’ll be staying in Ju County for the next few days so that I can familiarize myself with this place. Who knows, I might come back in the future.”
“The accommodation has already been arranged. Please follow me, Lord Shen.”
Back in the county, Lieutenant Lu had arranged for a spacious residence. The various guests were very considerate and it was obvious that they were very experienced. During this period, he had even secretly stuffed two women into Shen Ping’s bedroom, but Shen Ping had righteously rejected them.
In the next three to four days, Shen Ping accompanied Lian Nishang to play and shop in the county while he went to the Mount Ba Range to search for natural treasures. For a level-four demon to appear, it meant that there were at least Earth Blood Lotuses and Blood Spirit Ginsengs in the mountain range.
He had broken through to the Star Rank, so he could use more methods. The efficiency of the investigation was extremely high. In just two nights, he had turned a mountain range upside down, even deep underground. Finally, he found two Blood Spirit Ginsengs and three Earth Blood Lotuses.
On the fifth night, just as he was about to combine the Blood Spirit Ginseng with other materials to try to refine it into a medicinal pill with a higher absorption efficiency, a beautiful figure appeared outside the house.
“Lord Shen, it’s me.”
Shen Ping could not help but reveal a look of surprise. When he opened the door, it was really Ling Yu’er. “Miss Ling, it’s already so late. What’s the matter?”
Ling Yu’er seemed to have mustered up a lot of courage. “Lord Shen is already so strong at such a young age. I wonder if you can give me some pointers?”
Shen Ping was stunned. He had not expected Ling Yu’er to want to improve so much. Originally, he thought that he would have to use some methods and spend some time slowly nurturing her, but the other party took the initiative to come knocking on his door. “Could it be that she was affected by the true spirit? That shouldn’t be the case. If she’s really the reincarnation of Immortal King Ling Die, she wouldn’t be so casual, right?”
With that thought in mind, he allowed Ling Yu’er to enter the room. The other party wanted to improve. So he had to give his juniors some pointers. Looking at the young and lovely girl in front of him, Shen Ping poured a cup of tea for her. “Miss Ling, I do have some unique cultivation methods. Moreover, I have heavenly treasures in my hands. However, you have to understand that there is no such thing as benevolence in this world for no reason.”
Ling Yu’er’s face turned red as she bit her lips. “Yu’er understands. As long as I can get Lord Shen’s guidance, I’m willing to listen to your instructions.”
If she became his direct faction…
From a certain point of view, her choice was indeed smart. After all, the Demon Suppression Division of Laiyang Prefecture was divided into two factions. If she wanted to stand out, she had to join one of them. However, Ling Yu’er was only a student and did not even have the chance to go out hunting. Even if she wanted to join, she had to have connections. At the very least, her talent and potential did not have any advantage compared to the other students.
“What do your parents do?” Shen Ping wasn’t in a hurry. He was purely curious as to why Ling Yu’er would take the initiative.
“My parents do business in the county. They have always taught Yu’er to seize the opportunity.”
He looked at her shy face and Shen Ping understood. It turned out that she was influenced and reminded by her parents. “Come, sit on my lap. This way, it will be easier to examine the bloodline power in your body.”
Ling Yu’er’s face was flushed red as she sat on Shen Ping’s lap. She seemed to have just taken a shower and still smelled of spices.
Shen Ping could clearly feel the stiffness of her body, especially the hip line where her legs touched. Her muscles were tense. “Don’t be nervous. You’ve awakened the wood element. Although your attack power isn’t strong, your defense and support abilities are very powerful. Let me see if your bloodline power is pure first.”
Ling Yu’er hummed softly. There was the sound of clothes rubbing against each other. His hand touched her youthful skin. “How does the bloodline feel?”
“L-Lord Shen, it’s a little cold.”
Shen Ping’s fingers traced the tendons on his fair skin and slowly extended down. When they reached the point where the tendons converged, the power of his bloodline surged slightly. “What about now?”
Ling Yu’er’s breathing quickened. “Lord… Lord Shen, my body feels warm and my blood is surging.”
“Keep it up. This is the only way to sense the direction of your bloodline’s improvement. I’m going to infuse my bloodline power into your body now. This will help your bloodline continue to circulate. Are you ready?”
Ling Yu’er remained silent. The moment the bloodline power was connected, her face was bright red as she muttered, “Lord Shen, please guide me well. Yu’er wants to break through to Rank 4 as soon as possible.”
