29: Chapter 29: Liu Meier is very moist

At dawn, the square of the Blood Fiend Sect had been cleaned up.

The withered corpse of Blood Child was placed into a crude coffin, and Zhao Yuan personally led men to drive in Spirit-Sealing Nails and attach Corpse-Suppressing Talismans.

These two items were specifically requested by Xiao Ran, the purpose being to ensure that Blood Child would not even have the possibility of turning into a corpse demon.

Thus, there had been eight people when they set out from the Eternal Night Demon Sect: Xiao Ran, Blood Demon Son, Liu Meier, and Tu Gang, along with four other Deacons.

Now, only Xiao Ran and Liu Meier remained as the main figures.

Liu Meier became obedient in an instant; she spent the night organizing the inventory booklet and handed it to Xiao Ran for inspection.

On the books, the resources of the Blood Fiend Sect's storehouses, spirit fields, and Ore veins were clearly listed, and the numbers appeared fine.

However, Xiao Ran knew that at least thirty percent of the profits had been intercepted in advance.

A portion had gone into Blood Child's pocket, which now naturally belonged to him.

As for the other portion, Liu Meier had likely taken some as well.

Xiao Ran did not point it out.

He quickly browsed through the booklet, his gaze pausing for a moment on a few items.

"Seven stalks of eight-hundred-year-old Blood Spirit Ganoderma, fifteen roots of three-hundred-year-old Blood Ginseng, eight hundred catties of Profound Yin Iron Ore..."

These were the only remaining foundations left after the Blood Fiend Sect had been plundered.

"Senior Sister Liu, where are these resources now?"

Xiao Ran looked up at Liu Meier.

"They have all been sealed and are waiting to be escorted back to the Sect."

Liu Meier's reply was watertight.

"Hmm."

"The Blood Fiend Sect has operated for hundreds of years after all. Although it has suffered such a great disaster, it still has some foundation. You have worked hard on this mission, Senior Sister."

Xiao Ran closed the booklet and said indifferently.

"You are too polite, Ninth Demon Child. It is merely my duty!"

Liu Meier bent over, revealing a patch of snow-white skin.

Xiao Ran naturally couldn't hold back and snuck a few glances.

You have to admit, this woman was quite seductive, but she really had the goods!

Truly, looking at this bowl of noodles, she was big and round!

Xiao Ran observed for a while, then walked to the edge of the square, took out the specially made communication jade talisman of the Eternal Night Demon Sect, and injected demonic essence into it.

The jade talisman lit up, and a blurry phantom appeared.

It was the duty Elder of the Deacon Hall.

"What is the report?"

"Disciple Xiao Ran, ordered to participate in the Blood Fiend Sect takeover mission."

"However, an accident occurred during the mission last night. Senior Brother Eight fought hard against a Golden Core Peak stage Blood Jade Demon Spider and unfortunately perished."

"This Disciple risked his life to repel the Yao Beast and preserved the resources and surrendered troops. I am now reporting the situation."

Xiao Ran reported with a calm tone.

The other end of the jade talisman was silent for a few breaths.

"Blood Child... has perished?"

The Elder's voice carried surprise.

"Yes."

"Tell me in detail."

Xiao Ran recounted the prepared narrative.

The Blood Fiend Cave, the Golden Core Peak stage Demon Spider, Blood Child's greed for merit and reckless advance, fighting bravely but being outmatched, and himself striking at the critical moment to repel the Yao Beast but arriving too late to rescue him...

His tone was plain, but the details were rich, sounding flawless.

"The Blood Fiend Sect's resources have been tallied, one hundred and thirty-seven surrendered troops are willing to join our Sect, and the remains of the Eighth Demon Child have been collected."

"Please instruct on the follow-up arrangements."

The other end of the jade talisman was silent for another moment.

"I will report this matter to the Sect Master and the Deacon Hall Master immediately."

"Xiao Ran, you are to act as the temporary team leader, stabilize the situation, and a relief team will arrive within three days."

"The remains of Blood Child must be properly preserved; they will need to be examined by the Law Enforcement Hall upon returning to the Sect."

"This Disciple understands."

The communication ended.

Xiao Ran put away the jade talisman and turned to look at Liu Meier.

"The Sect's relief team will arrive in three days!"

Hearing this, Liu Meier said with a smile.

"Don't worry, Ninth Demon Child. I will definitely help you watch over the stall."

The next three days were calm and peaceful.

Xiao Ran used this time to do a few things.

First, he met with Shi Hao in secret.

He left enough Cultivation resources for the youth and several basic Cultivation Techniques suitable for the Crimson Sun Battle Physique, and agreed to send someone to pick him up in half a year.

By then, the Demon Child Ranking Battle would be over, his own status would be more solid, and it would be easier to arrange for a trusted aide to enter the Sect.

Second, he carefully studied the scroll of the Blood Nerve (Fragment), and initially mastered several practical secret techniques from it.

Especially Blood Soul Truth-Seeking, which now allowed him to perceive the state of others' Qi and blood quite clearly.

Third, he took the time to visit several secret locations in the Blood Fiend Sect.

Relying on the keen sensitivity of Guixu Demonic Light to energy fluctuations, he scavenged some scattered resources that had been overlooked.

Although they weren't precious, even a mosquito's leg is meat.

Fourth, he couldn't hold back and had his way with Liu Meier.

This woman was very smart and also very skilled.

In short, these three days were very satisfying for Little Xiao Ran.

So much so that in the end, Xiao Ran couldn't control himself again and gave Liu Meier a larger share of the loot.

Three days later, the Eternal Night Demon Sect's relief team arrived.

Leading the team was a black-robed Elder at the Late Nascent Soul Stage from the Law Enforcement Hall, accompanied by more than ten Inner Sect Disciples.

The Elder examined Blood Child's remains and carefully inquired about the sequence of events.

Xiao Ran and Liu Meier's stories were consistent, and combined with the testimony of Zhao Yuan and the other surrendered troops, the entire process had no loopholes.

As for why that Golden Core Peak stage Demon Spider suddenly appeared and then retreated, Xiao Ran's explanation was:

"This Disciple luckily injured its vital point; it probably felt it wasn't worth risking its life."

This reason wasn't perfect, but it barely made sense.

After all, it was inherently difficult for humans to fully fathom the thinking of a Yao Beast.

The black-robed Elder did not delve deeper, but just looked at Xiao Ran deeply and said,

"The Ninth Demon Child remained calm in the face of danger, protecting fellow Disciples and resources. The Law Enforcement Hall will record this merit truthfully."

The subtext of this sentence could not be more obvious.

The winner takes all.

Since Blood Demon Son was already dead, even if there were doubts about his death, the Sect would still not pursue it.

This was the Demon Sect.

Xiao Ran cupped his hands: "Thank you, Elder."

The handover was completed, and the relief team escorted the resources and surrendered troops back first.

Xiao Ran and Liu Meier steered the blood bone boat behind them.

The atmosphere on the return journey was somewhat subtle.

Liu Meier would occasionally find Xiao Ran to have her way; this woman seemed to have become addicted recently.

Sometimes, while chatting with Xiao Ran, her gaze would involuntarily drift toward Little Xiao Ran.

As for Little Xiao Ran, he never held back.

In this way, they had their way for another five days.

The gates of the Eternal Night Demon Sect finally arrived.
