442. Liquid Inner Elixir

When Ye Feng gained the ability to mass-produce celestial-level beings, he modified the bodies of all the women around him. Now, each of them was at least at the celestial level, including Chi Yanhuan. So, it was no effort at all for Chi Yanhuan to pull the powerless Ye Feng into the room.

As she dragged him inside, Ye Feng was a bit surprised, not understanding what Chi Yanhuan intended.

“Huanhuan, what are you—?” Ye Feng asked in confusion.

“Ye Feng, I have something to ask you,” Chi Yanhuan spoke with excitement, her tone trembling a little.

“What is it? Go ahead,” Ye Feng replied.

“Do you actually like me?” Chi Yanhuan asked, unable to contain her emotion.

“Of course I do. Why are you asking?” Ye Feng smiled.

“Don’t smile! If you like me, why do you treat me this way?” Chi Yanhuan was still agitated.

“How did I treat you?” Ye Feng wondered aloud.

“We’ve known each other for so many years, but you’ve always been lukewarm, neither close nor distant. What does it mean?” Chi Yanhuan shouted, her voice rising in agitation. Fortunately, the room’s soundproofing was exceptional, or else the sisters next door would have come over.

Hearing this, Ye Feng finally understood. He thought for a moment, then spoke slowly: “Huanhuan, you should remember the circumstances when I first met you, right?”

“What does that matter?” Chi Yanhuan countered, perplexed.

Ye Feng’s tactic of diverting her attention was effective. Though Chi Yanhuan protested, her focus shifted.

“At that time, the world was teetering on the edge of chaos. I was doing everything I could to maintain stability in Huaxia—there simply wasn’t time to indulge in personal affairs. Maybe the others told you, but even when my son was born, I couldn’t return. Otherwise, Natasha wouldn’t have found the chance to steal him away,” Ye Feng explained quietly.

“But what about now? We’re hiding at the bottom of the sea, maybe for the rest of our lives. What else could you be busy with?” Chi Yanhuan pressed, still unconvinced.

“You’re mistaken. Badbad told me this afternoon that Angus plans to move the entire sea. Do you think I have much time left?” Ye Feng replied heavily.

“That’s impossible! No one could do such a thing!” Chi Yanhuan protested, unwilling to believe.

“Because of spatial rings, the impossible becomes possible. So I’m about to get busy again—extremely busy. There’s no escape for us now,” Ye Feng said.

“But—” Chi Yanhuan started, but Ye Feng cut her off.

“Huanhuan, I understand how you feel. I truly have been very busy these past few years. Give me just a few more days, all right? If my plan succeeds, then we’ll have plenty of time to deal with our own matters,” Ye Feng smiled.

“All right, I…” Chi Yanhuan faltered, unable to finish, because Ye Feng had already sealed her lips with his own. “Mmm… mmm…”

The two became entwined in a passionate kiss. Only when Chi Yanhuan thought she might suffocate did Ye Feng finally stop and, smiling, said, “I’ll go now. If we’re still alive in a week, then we can talk about us.” With that, Ye Feng left, leaving Chi Yanhuan blushing deeply.

As Ye Feng exited the room, Badbad’s voice sounded, “Why didn’t you take her? Maybe it would help your cultivation. Have you forgotten about the Blood Tiger?”

“She’s my woman, not a cultivation tool! Besides, Long Xuan changed my meridians—who knows if my bloodline has changed too? I don’t understand this new cultivation method. Who can say if any of that is still useful?” Ye Feng answered irritably.

“Speaking of that cultivation method, you still haven’t given it to me. I want to study it,” Badbad said.

“I haven’t given it to you?” Ye Feng replied in surprise.

“What do you think? I’ve been busy finding you a cave. When did you give it to me?” Badbad snapped.

“My mistake. Here, take it yourself,” Ye Feng said.

Badbad quickly extracted everything about the cultivation method. After receiving it, Badbad fell silent. Ye Feng returned to his own room, planning to get a good night’s sleep. Starting tomorrow, he intended to enter seclusion for cultivation. After all, even if they managed to escape into the cave, it wouldn’t be a permanent solution. The people of Huaxia couldn’t live in caves forever. Besides, the caves lacked the mineral resources needed for technological development. In the end, they would have to rely on the Celestial Dragon for rescue. So Ye Feng hoped to transform himself into a humanoid Celestial Dragon as soon as possible.

Just as Ye Feng was about to fall asleep, Badbad’s astonished voice rang out, “Wow, the Celestial Dragon who invented this cultivation method was truly a genius!”

“What now? I was nearly asleep!” Being roused abruptly was never pleasant, and Ye Feng’s tone showed his annoyance.

“Come inside and see!” Badbad said, then promptly stunned Ye Feng and dragged him into a deep dreamscape.

Within the dream, Ye Feng found himself standing as if in the middle of the cosmos, the scene grand and spectacular.

“Why did you pull me in here? And what’s with this setting?” Ye Feng asked, confused.

“Mystical things demand a bit of a mystical atmosphere. I’ve finished studying the Celestial Dragon cultivation method—it’s incredible! If you master it, Angus will be nothing. You could wipe him out in a heartbeat,” Badbad said excitedly.

“Is it really that powerful?” Ye Feng replied, curious about the method’s true potential, since Long Xuan hadn’t explained it clearly.

“Absolutely. Now I understand why so many races in the universe covet the Celestial Dragon’s inner core. They can liquefy and solidify energy—imagine how much energy that takes! It’s more wondrous than any heavenly treasure,” Badbad laughed.

“Stick to the point. I already knew that part,” Ye Feng was unimpressed by Badbad’s marveling.

“All right. According to my simulations, this method compresses energy to form an inner core. The first step is to compress your internal energy into a liquid core. Then, by absorbing ambient energy, you solidify it. Once the core is solidified, you’ll completely surpass Angus,” Badbad explained.

“How long, by your calculations, would it take me to solidify the core? And, if I grow an inner core inside me, wouldn’t that make me a monster?” Ye Feng asked in surprise.

“With your current condition, forming the liquid core should be easy—three to five days, I estimate. So before we reach the cave, you’ll be done, and your strength will be restored beyond the divine level. The hard part is solidifying the liquid core. That process is tough to predict, since there’s nothing to compare with. As for becoming a monster, do you really think you’re still human after merging the genes of the Four Sacred Beasts? Anyway, the core stays inside, so outsiders can’t see it. No one will know you’re a monster. At least you won’t have the Celestial Dragon’s appearance, so you won’t be hunted everywhere in the universe,” Badbad laughed.

“That’s true,” Ye Feng chuckled in response.
