Grasping Evil

The Yin Yang Transformation was already at the eighth level of the first realm.

Meanwhile, the Corpse Devil Record was at the ninth level of the first realm, making him ever so closer to the first corpse transformation.

After devouring countless flesh from the corpses, his demon power increased to 28 units.

Currently, he was at the Mid Nascent Soul Realm with 190 units of magic power while his spirit sense was at the Peak Nascent Soul Realm. On the other hand, his body refining realm was at the peak level of Silver Bone which was just a hair's breadth away from the Jade Life Realm!

Breaking through the final barrier of the Jade Life Realm would require luck!

After regulating his condition for a few days, Ning Fan looked at the Cauldron Ring on his left wrist. A look of reminiscence could be seen flashing in his eyes.

The Flower Demon and the Wind Demon… They were two of the twelve concubines of Demon General Li Ban!

In the past, he had a bitter fight against each of them. Today, he could finish them off with just a finger!

The second realm of Yin Yang Transformation that Ning Fan had been eager to accomplish would most likely be achieved today.

Plucking the two female demons would be the key to his breakthrough.

The first realm of Yin Yang Transformation granted him the ability to pluck and acquire the cultivation of women.

What kind of ability would he unlock once he reaches the second realm?

"Show yourselves!"

He shook the Cauldron Ring and red mist began to fill the atmosphere. Two unconscious females appeared, lying on the ground.

The one in the red shirt was the Flower Demon while the other who wore a purple robe was the Wind Demon. Both of them had curvy and alluring bodies that could trigger anyone's sexual desire by just looking at them. However, their faces were hideous as they were full of scars…When Ning Fan flicked his sleeve, a cool breeze blew against them and they gradually regained their consciousness.

"Where is this place…" The Flower Demon felt fuzzy and muddle-headed as she had passed out for a very long time. As for the Wind Demon, she immediately recognized who Ning Fan was and her eyes were filled with rage.

"It's you!"

She sensed that only Ning Fan alone was in the room and was not protected by any defensive formation. At that moment, the fear and dread she had towards Ning Fan were all gone because there was the Flower Demon and her, a total of two Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, facing a lone Ning Fan!

The only impression she had towards Ning Fan was that he was a mere Harmonious Spirit Realm junior with exceptional techniques and skills.

"Hmmph! You're just being foolish to let the both of us out with no one to back you up. I think you're courting death!"

She parted her cherry lips and opened her mouth. All of a sudden, a purple wind dagger flew out from her mouth, carrying a fragrance belonging to a virgin. She did not even perform hand seals for this technique as it was not considered as one of the proper demonic techniques. However, this dagger was just enough to kill Gold Core Realm cultivators.

In the face of the dagger, Ning Fan's expression turned cold and struck at the dagger. A massive primordial power of heaven and earth crushed the dagger like they were fragile biscuits.

The Wind Demon was also injured from the effect of the primordial power and her Nascent Soul showed signs of crumbling. Fresh blood flowed out from the corner of her lips. The rage in her eyes diminished, replaced by pure astonishment!

She had never seen anyone display such tremendous magic power that was even more powerful than an Early Nascent Soul Realm magic technique with just a finger!

"You…*coughing up more blood*…" Her ability to speak became impaired by Ning Fan's attack. Meanwhile, the Flower Demon who witnessed the short exchange of blows spoke her mind in a surprised tone.

"No way! You… You have attained the Mid Nascent Soul Realm?! This is impossible!"

There's no mistaking it!

That year when the two of them fought against Ning Fan, he really was just a Harmonious Spirit Realm cultivator!

In their minds, they knew it was difficult to resist Ning Fan's bewitching technique. They thought that they would not be any weaker than Ning Fan if they could jointly fight against him. The only way for him to defeat the both of them at the same time would be to suffer a bitter battle and use all his trump cards!

However, nothing like that happened. With only a strike of his finger, he could wield the power of heaven and earth, causing damage to the Wind Demon… The Flower Demon had only seen that power before from the demon general!

"Sister Wind. Let's flee!"

Fear filled her thoughts. She hurriedly held the injured Wind Demon and teleported away.

Inwardly, she thought that Ning Fan was too reckless to summon them in a room which had no defensive formation to stop them from running away.

But before they could teleport, Ning Fan who was standing still on his original position lifted a finger. Grey light was emitted from that finger. The next moment, they felt that they could not move a single limb as if they were tightly bound by invisible threads.

Ning Fan flicked his sleeve once more and the two females were swept to the side of the bed against their will.

One of them fell into Ning Fan's arm while the other landed on his right… The both of them couldn't move!

"Did I say you two can go?!"

Ning Fan sneered.

He did not establish any formations on the room because there was no need for it!

Two mere Early Nascent Soul Realm female demons wants to escape from me… It's merely wishful thinking…

"How…. How is this possible?! What is that technique? How did you seal our movements with one finger? I can't even free myself even if I use the self-sacrificing technique… It's impossible! The Demon General can't even do this!"

"What makes you think that I can't do what Li Ban can't do? Anyway, I don't think Li Ban can do what I am doing now, having the two of you in my arms, waiting to be plucked by me!"

"What did you say?! How dare you call our master by his name?! And how dare you think of plucking us?! You're such an impudent man… If you dare to…" The Wind Demon's eyes flashed. She really had a bold attitude to reprimand Ning Fan.

Her face might look ugly, but when she struggled in his arm, she looked pitiful.

"What can you do if I really pluck you two?!"

Ning Fan's hand harshly grabbed on the Wind Demon's bosoms. The humiliation and the pain almost made the Wind Demon want to die for real.

"Let go of your hand! Don't touch me!"

The Wind Demon's eyes flashed with hatred. Her bosoms were not ample but they were soft. The tenderness was extraordinary. Though she lost her beautiful appearance for some inexplicable reason, her attractive body would still actually tempt quite a lot of demons to have sex with her… But she was reluctant and afraid.

After her movements were sealed, there was no way for her to break free. What she could do now was to witness Ning Fan's devilish claws violate her body.

Despite the purple cloth that separated Ning Fan's hand from directly touching her skin, she could still clearly feel the warmth of his hand as Nascent Soul Realm demons had keen senses.

Detestable, truly detestable…

She regretted her action of pursuing Ning Fan for the All-Heaven Relic… She could have escaped this fate if she did not do so…

"If you dare to humiliate me any further, the Demon General will definitely not forgive you. He is now in Great Jin…"

"Demon General? Great Jin? Oh. Evidently, you're unaware that we're no longer at Great Jin. Furthermore, the Demon General has probably gone to the Demon World… Perhaps, he will find me someday… But look at this…"

Ning Fan smirked coldly at her and summoned the Red Lightning Whip from his glabella. It was infused with the power of the Dragon Tendon!

The Dragon Tendon of the Immemorial Lightning Dragon!

There was still a trace of qi from the weapon even though Ning Fan had wiped it off earlier.

But… It's not a mistake… This is the qi of the Demon General!

"You took the Dragon Tendon of the Demon General?! How dare you?! Tell me, what have you done to the Demon General?!" In a moment of desperation, the Wind Demon's neck broke free from the seal and bit on Ning Fan's hand. Blood oozed out from his hand.

Apparently, this woman who's an underling of Li Ban sure holds a deep admiration for him. It was why such a miracle happened, breaking free from the seal.

However, the cruel Li Ban is never concerned about their life and death… Her blind love and loyalty seems wasted on the wrong person.

"He is not dead yet. However, I'll kill him the next time I meet him!"

"If you dare to hurt him, I'll fight you to the death!"

The Wind Demon's jaw did not let go of Ning Fan's hand… The pain made Ning Fan's expression become cold.

"I have heard that Demon Generals will naturally have their own partners after they awaken in the Land of Demons. If they like their female partners, they will take them as their concubines. However, they will mutilate their faces if they don't like them, extinguishing their hopes of becoming the concubines of others… Although they don't like the women, they don't want them to have sex with others… As such, your faces were disfigured by Li Ban. Am I right?!"

"No…It's not… Master Li Ban did not do that on purpose…" The Wind Demon spoke hesitantly as if she recalled some terrible memories from the past. That day when the Demon General awakened, he conjured demonic techniques to disfigure her face.

The Flower Demon's eyes turned sad and gloomy as well when she heard Ning Fan's words.

Tears began to well up within the sockets of their eyes and fell down their cheeks as if they were still being mentally agonized by the action of their master.

They knew that Demon General Li Ban was cruel and ruthless. However, they still admired him… When he was still in his slumber, they were the flower and wind that gain their spirituality from the demonic power that emanated from him… To them, even though Li Ban destroyed their faces, they did not feel that his actions were too much.

"Interesting… But your loyalty to him is none of my business. Now, the both of you are just my cauldrons. You will be plucked by me…"

"You dare?!" They shouted loudly.

"I don't understand why there are a lot of people questioning whether I am daring enough to do what I want to do or not… This isn't the right question. It's what I must do! I need cauldrons and you two are the enemies that fell into my hands… These are your fates! If you two act cooperatively, I will give you a way out. I will spare your lives and leave you both with your Gold Core Realm powers intact!"

"No! We are the Demon General Li Ban's partners. Only he can make love to us… Argh!"

Ning Fan knocked the Flower Demon out with his finger and his indifferent gaze landed on the Wind Demon.

"You both have no choice!"

Her shirt's buttons were being unbuttoned one by one, revealing her naked body.

Her bra was removed, exposing the two little white rabbits standing upright.

Her face became boiling hot. She closed her eyes with dissatisfaction. He knew that Ning Fan must be enjoying the look of her body.

Stroking, fondling and teasing… The warm hand went to her abdomen and drew circles around it. It made the Wind Demon nearly have a mental breakdown.

Tears continued to flow down from her eyes. She wanted to breathe deeply. She wanted to shout loudly. She wanted to ask for help from her master. However, she slowly caught the unfamiliar smell of the sea. It was not the smell that belonged to any of the eight hundred cultivation countries. She began to realize that her master was not going to save her. Perhaps, he might even kill her with a single slap if he finds out that she was having an affair with another man.

She was well aware of the cruelty of her master. However, she still could not forget the red-haired man whom she had been guarding while he was in deep slumber.

That man granted her the chance to become a demon. However, he took away her beauty.

It was heartbreaking to be hurt by the person you admire the most. To her, it's even more depressing than being humiliated by her enemy, Ning Fan.

It's normal for an enemy to humiliate me…. But why would the Demon General Li Ban be so cruel to disfigure me…

Her heart gradually became numb.

Even the pain from below her abdomen was no longer painful anymore.

The tears in her eyes was the natural reaction of her body towards the loss of her virginity. But much of the tears were the disappointment she had towards Demon General Li Ban.

"Perhaps I should kill myself rather than live a disgraceful life… It's so tiring… What's the meaning of living like this? Even if Master finds me, he will not let me off the hook…" She was in despair. She tried to bite her tongue although she clearly knew that it was futile for a Nascent Soul Realm expert like her.

Suddenly, Ning Fan stuck his finger into her mouth and touched her tongue, stopping her teeth from tearing it apart.

"Life itself has no meaning. However, if you continue living on, you'll find your purpose in life. For instance, you became a flower and I discovered you… Although we're enemies, if you allow me to pluck you, I will restore your face after that."

"Restore my face?" A glimmer of hope flickered in the Wind Demon's eyes.

"Fifth Revolution Pill, Face Restoration Pill… Even if your face was disfigured to the extent that no one thinks that it can be restored, I still have means to help you. Give me some time. I will concoct the pills for the both of you."

"…"

After hearing Ning Fan's promise, the anguish within her heart gradually subsided. Now she could only feel the stabbing pain from her lower abdomen which made her frown and grit her teeth.

"It's painful… Be more gentle…"

"How are you not supposed to feel pain? It's completely dry down there…" Ning Fan's brows knitted together too.

This Wind Demon truly was unique. With her stubbornness alone, she was able to break free from the seal, though Ning Fan only displayed half of the original power of the technique.

Aside from that, this woman could numb her senses, rendering the power of the Yin Plucking Finger ineffective even when her heart was filled with hopelessness. All these miracles occurred merely because of her stubborn determination.

If she were to continue behaving like a dead frog while she was being plucked, obtaining a single unit of magic power would already be considered miraculous to Ning Fan.

However, if she cooperates, the effect of the process would reach its peak, allowing Ning Fan to acquire twenty units of magic power…

It's truly unexpected that my Yin Plucking Finger will lose its effect on her…

That incident made Ning Fan realize that plucking women by force was not a wise choice after all.

Meanwhile, he also realized how horrible a stubborn person would be… Evidently, his own technique had yet to incorporate his own stubbornness. Otherwise, the power of his Yin Plucking Finger would become stronger…

Ning Fan had never consoled an enemy before in his life. It was because of the ineffectiveness of the plucking process that pushed him to do so.

The woman who was in misery just now seemed to have found her hope to continue living on after hearing words of consolation and an empty promise.

It's no wonder some people say that women are the easiest to be taken advantage of when they are heartbroken.

"What should I do in order to aid you in plucking me…" The Wind Demon asked cautiously. In her mind, she now felt that she belonged to Ning Fan. As far as she knew, the cruel Demon General Li Ban would never forgive her and her sister, the Flower Demon. Ning Fan was much magnanimous compared to the demon general as he promised to keep her alive after plucking her, even though she was his enemy…

She might not love or have a deep admiration for him, but to comply with him was the only choice she was left with.

"Just relax…"

The power of Yin Plucking Finger successfully infiltrated her body.

Her breathing slowly became heavy.

She began to move her hips to synchronize with Ning Fan's thrusts. Her thighs were tightly clasped on his waist.

A feeling of joy that she had never experienced before in her whole life spread throughout her body like electricity from the intersection point of their two bodies. She was tingling with excitement.

She placed her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly as he continued moving his hips. Deep inside her thoughts, she was confused. He was supposed to be her enemy.

What would her relationship with him be after this?

Despite her hostility towards Ning Fan diminishing, she still had no feelings towards him. The only feeling she had was the pleasure from her lower abdomen.

"Cauldrons?... I think you're at a loss to pluck an ugly woman like me…"

"My master once said, everything is the same when the lights are turned off! Moreover, in my eyes, you are much more attractive than other women."

"Really?"

She became even more puzzled. Her arms firmly gripped on to Ning Fan's back, going along with every pounding to her hips.

Her heart has yet to have any good feelings to Ning Fan but her body had submitted to him…

Unknowingly, she had already smoothed out her hair and rode on top of Ning Fan…

Unconsciously, Ning Fan awakened the Flower Demon and planted the power of his Yin Plucking Finger into her.

Afterwards, the room was filled with the moans of the two female demons…

His demon power was increasing. Finally, it attained sixty-six units of magic power, breaking through the Early Nascent Soul Realm!

As for his Yin Yang Transformation, it successfully achieved the second realm!

All of a sudden, a whisper resounded in his Sea of Consciousness, telling him about the second ability that was unlocked.

"Mind Reading Technique. It activates a bewitching technique through words. It allows the user see through feelings and intentions in someone's heart. This ability can be used to read the hearts of every woman. What the heart thinks, heaven and earth knows. Reading the mind with a bewitching technique without showing any traces. . This is the secret technique of keeping human cauldrons and seeing through their hearts… It is only effective on cultivators whose cultivation realms are not greater than themselves."

When this message resounded in his mind, he was petrified.

What kind of ability is this? Reading women's minds with the Yin Yang Locket after speaking to them?

The first technique: plucking, is a technique that requires force. Now this second technique: Mind Reading Technique, is a gentle technique?

With this technique, even a chaste heroine would unknowingly fall for me if I can have control over her thoughts…

Ning Fan's brows knitted together. This technique obviously did not fit his style…

If this technique is genuinely a mind-reading technique, he could understand what's in the hearts of Void Fragmentation Realm female cultivators once he achieves the Void Refinement Realm. If they have something troubling their minds, he could make use of the opportunity and approach them…

Should I use this kind of ability?

Should I try it?

Ning Fan activated the Yin Yang Locket. The next second, the locket trembled and two messages echoed from it. They were the inner thoughts of the two female demons.

Wind Demon: I'm really immoral and promiscuous. Although I don't like him, but my body still succumbed to the sexual pleasure…"

Flower Demon : "This is the taste of a man? It's so comfortable…"

The Wind Demon was blaming herself and feeling ashamed of her actions. On the contrary, the Flower Demon completely surrendered to the bewitching technique.

Ning Fan's eyes widened in surprise.

This ability truly was heaven-defying!

It's perfect for snooping information!

Besides, it was excellent for fawning over females… However, it was hard to imagine that Ning Fan would lower his pride to flatter a woman.

"The ability of the second realm is so amazing. I wonder what the ability I will unlock once I achieve the third realm…"

"I'm sure you will love the third ability so much that you cannot bear to part with it… Opening the Profound Yin World and becoming the master of this world. You will also be granted the Fire Tablet. Every woman you have sex with and every man you throw into the Profound Yin World to rot, their cultivations methods and magical techniques will appear on the Fire Tablet… In other words, you can easily get access to all kinds of secret arts or cultivation method…"

Luo You's faint sound echoed from the locket. She seemed to had just awakened from her sleep.

"How do you know?"

"What are you talking about? I face this Fire Tablet every single day. All kinds of cultivation methods and techniques were etched onto it… En. It's not bad. Apparently, you didn't slack off while I was sleeping. Now you have reached the second realm. Oops. I can see every part of your naked body now…Hehe" Luo You teased.

"…" Ning Fan was speechless. He secretly activated the Yin Yang Locket to read Luo You's heart.

Unfortunately, nothing came to his mind.

Seemingly, even if Luo You suffered a great loss of her magic power, she still was not a person that he could see through.

…

He cleared his mind off of distracting thoughts and continued to pluck the female demons.

When night fell and everything was quiet and still, he kept the two women into his cauldron ring and regulated his breathing.

After his demon power attained the Early Nascent Soul Realm, a blackish green demon star appeared on his left eye.

As he tried to activate the star, it flashed incessantly.

This was his first Demon Star, the Star of Palm Wood!

Suddenly, a pair of blackish green wings grew from his back. They were the Wind Lightning Wings but they have now been enhanced by his demon power.

This pair of dark green wings had a greater speed… That is to say, his demon power improved his flying speed.

Now, he had all three: the Divine, Devil and Demon Stars.

He dispersed the wings and stood silently beside the window, listening to the sound of the blowing wind.

The atmosphere was quiet, very quiet. There were only the soft howls of the mountain breeze and the low chirps of the autumn worms.

He shut his eyes, recollecting all his deeds for the past few months.

Endless killing…

Heartless plucking…

The deeper he walked the path of a devil, the further he was from the naïve self in the past.

If I see someone peeking on Ning Qinger again, will I still intervene?

If I meet someone like Yue Ling and Bing Ling who are willing to become my cauldrons, will I still let them go?

"No. I've changed…"

He heaved a light sigh.

Everyone would change, just like time which flowed endlessly.

He would not become the same young gentleman in the winter snow.

However, something will remain unchanged… No matter what I do, Zhihe, Lan Mei, Yin Suqiu, all these women would not elude me.

Especially Zhihe…

She was the stupidest girl that had ever appeared in Ning Fan's life.

"Zhihe… I actually feel that I lack something after I've chosen my path. I've pondered for so long. But when I think of you, I finally understand… I lack a smile…"

Ning Fan's lips curved into a wry smile and stretched his back like how one did after waking up in the morning.

The devil aura from his body was fully concealed.

A true devil!

A true devil would not easily be perceived as a devil from just their appearance!

The cold Ning Fan was like an unsheathed sword!

But when he thought of Zhihe, he became like a sword in its sheath!

Without realizing it, his state of mind achieved the Mid Nascent Soul Realm!

"Very well. My state of mind is sufficient now. Next, I can start breaking through to the Late Nascent Soul Realm… Only 110 units of magic power more and I can steadily attain the realm. In other words, I am going to need six more Nascent Soul Realm human cauldrons. There's not much difficulty in attaining the Late Nascent Soul Realm but for Peak Nascent Soul Realm… I will need another 1500 units of magic power. To attain Divine Transformation Realm, it will require another 10000 units… After attaining the Late Nascent Soul Realm, my cultivation speed will become slow again, unless I have another 500 Nascent Soul Realm cauldrons… But that's only wishful thinking on my part. There are only a limited number of women under the blue sky… Moreover, female cultivators are less in nature. Perhaps, there might not be 500 of them in a dangerous place like this…"

Ning Fan smiled helplessly.

To him, achieving Peak Nascent Soul Realm was indeed difficult, let alone the Divine Transformation Realm.

It's no wonder that there were so many Nascent Soul Realm cultivators but there were only so few Divine Transformation Realm experts.
