And Tempering An Unsullied Body - Chapter 141

The dragon’s lifeless eyes were directed at Mei Qianmeng and the others, exuding an ancient and majestic power. They still looked like stone dragons, but they had been given life and were awakened once again.

Facing such a stone dragon, a chill rose in the hearts of the disciples of the Demon Region, as if they were facing a real dragon.

Gu Xi was also shocked by such an aura. He did not know if it was his imagination, but he felt that the stone dragon was looking at him.

Even Mei Qianmeng had to be respectful, “This junior was asked by someone to come and ask for the Dragon Ball.”

“Dragon Ball? Hahahaha, such boldness. A little girl like you can’t just take a Dragon Ball.”

The stone dragon did not get angry when he heard that. His tone was a little mocking. “The Dragon Ball is the essence of a dragon. If the Dragon Ball is gone, the dragon will not live for long. But if a true dragon dies, the Dragon Ball can live forever. This Dragon Ball has an extraordinary meaning to our dragon race. We can not give it to outsiders easily.”

To put it bluntly, this Dragon Ball was equivalent to the entire cultivation of a true dragon. Even if it died, the dignity of the dragon race was not allowed to be trampled on. They would rather destroy it than let the Dragon Ball be obtained by outsiders.

“I don’t want to go on a killing spree. Please leave.”

Mei Qianmeng said anxiously, “We must have this Dragon Ball, please forgive us, Senior.”

The stone dragon seemed to have seen something, “Eh, you guys actually have a Dragon Stone on you, no wonder you were able to find this place.”

…

The stone that was emitting light from Mei Qianmeng’s hand slowly floated in the air, and a drop of golden blood actually floated out from it. Everyone could feel the power of this drop of blood, and they could not help but feel excited.

The golden blood instantly entered the stone dragon’s body. A faint golden light flashed across the stone dragon’s body, and even its body seemed to have become more agile.

Following that, the light of the stone gradually dimmed, and it looked no different from an ordinary stone. Because of the appearance of the Dragon Stone, the stone dragon’s attitude also changed.

“Since you have the Dragon Stone in your hands, I might as well give you an opportunity. As for whether you can get the Dragon Ball, it will depend on your strength.”

Mei Qianmeng was a little surprised. She did not expect the Dragon Stone to have such a use. No wonder the Demon Venerable had told her that the Dragon Stone was very important. At this critical moment, it would have unexpected effects.

“Thank you very much, Senior.”

“Don’t be too happy yet. The Dragon Ball is not so easy to get. You little girl, you have such high cultivation and talent at such a young age. You have to think carefully. Is it worth taking such a big risk?”

Mei Qianmeng’s attitude did not change at all. “Please enlighten me, Senior.”

Who would have thought that stone dragon would suddenly change the topic? “You, stop hiding. I’ve long known of your existence.”

Both Mei Qianmeng and Gu Xi were stunned on the spot.

The people from the Demon Region said in disbelief, “Senior, are you joking? There are actually other people here besides us!”

They did not even know when they were being followed. Mei Qianmeng’s expression was extremely ugly. Following the gaze of the stone dragon, there was indeed a faint fluctuation in the shadows.

If she did not observe carefully and was exposed, it would be difficult to notice.

After clearly seeing the person who walked out from inside, Mei Qianmeng’s heart was in turmoil.

“It’s actually you!”

Her gaze was extremely sharp, as if she wanted to see through Gu Xi’s entire being.

She never thought that it would be him.

Mei Qianmeng’s expression was fearful. “I must have underestimated you back then.”

However, Gu Xi acted as if nothing had happened. “What a coincidence, Holy Maiden, we meet again.”

Thinking about it, Gu Xi should not have been bewitched by the Heavenly Demon Technique. However, his disguise had fooled everyone, even her. Whether it was in terms of cultivation or his scheming methods, it really made Mei Qianmeng admire him.

At the same time, she was even more fearful. When had such a strange creature appeared among these Righteous cultivators? Perhaps the big sects and ancient clans had all been fooled by this kid.

Such a person had gone through a lot of trouble and obtained a few green seedlings. How could they be ordinary things?

Mei Qianmeng thought of the people who had once mocked Gu Xi and thought of the Enlightenment Tea leaves in her hands. She did not know why, but she felt a bit aggrieved. She was afraid that those who had been kept in the dark still did not know what they had missed.

“Who exactly are you?!”

What made Mei Qianmeng even more shocked was when Gu Xi had followed them. If it were not for the stone dragon’s words, she was afraid that she would have messed up the Demon Venerable’s big event.

“I’m just an ordinary cultivator.”

Even when faced with the covetous eyes of the people of the Demon Region, Gu Xi was still calm and composed.

How could an ordinary cultivator have such a trick that could even deceive the Holy Maiden of the Demon Region and play everyone in the palm of his hand?

Mei Qianmeng wanted to laugh when she heard this. Although she had many questions in her heart, she could only suppress them. Moreover, even if she asked, Gu Xi might not tell her.

The other people of the Demon Region were extremely angry. They knew that they had been fooled by Gu Xi.

“Holy Maiden, should we teach this kid a lesson? How dare he deceive us?”

Mei Qianmeng looked at him as if she was looking at a fool. She said coldly, “Do you think that you can deal with someone who can resist the Heavenly Demon Technique? Moreover, he has deceived all of us.”

“You can’t say that. Maybe this kid is wearing some kind of Magical Artifact that can counteract the power of the Heavenly Demon Technique. Besides, there are so many of us here. Can he deal with all of us alone?”

His words were not without reason. However, with her foresight, Mei Qianmeng was even more cautious this time. She had not probed Gu Xi’s background. Unless it was a last resort, she did not want to be enemies with such a person.

“He’s a little strange. Let’s not act rashly for the time being. We should focus on the Demon Venerable’s matter.”

If they fought here, it was hard to guarantee if it would displease the stone dragon. If they did not obtain the Dragon Ball, the gains would not be worth the losses.
