5: Chapter 5 We're Cellmates

"Little lady, hurry up and release your man." Kang Dalei shouted recklessly, his mouth running wild.

Slap!

But as soon as the words fell, Ruan Mi slapped him hard across the face.

"If you dare to run your mouth like that again, believe it or not, I will slaughter you."

Kang Dalei's expression turned cold. His demon-slaying blade appeared. "Slaughter me? You aren't qualified."

One slash, slaughtering a horde of monsters.

Countless strands of gang qi began to converge, and the powerful gale nearly made Ruan Mi, who was close at hand, unable to open her eyes.

But the Tuotai Realm was, after all, the Tuotai Realm. As the blade momentum was unleashed, the monster core cannon in Ruan Mi's hand immediately gathered a terrifying beam of light, pressing it right into Kang Dalei's mouth.

"Slash, go on and slash!" Ruan Mi laughed coldly.

"Kang Dalei, let me tell you, if you dare to tease this young lady like that, killing you now would be letting you off too easy."

"Our Heavenly Demon Sect happens to be short on a few test subjects, so why don't you go and give it a try?"

"Wifey."

Slap, slap, slap.

"Speak properly."

"Beauty, beauty, you can't do this! Just because I'm handsome, you shouldn't harm me like this. Are you jealous of a handsome man?"

After being slapped several times, Kang Dalei immediately quieted down quite a bit.

However, the words coming out of his mouth made Ruan Mi just want to vomit blood.

This bastard is truly shameless.

"Kang Dalei."

"Wifey, I'm here."

Slap, slap, slap. Another few slaps later, Ruan Mi was speechless.

"You, you..." Taking a few deep breaths, Ruan Mi kicked Kang Dalei a few more times, which finally relieved her anger a little.

"Now tell me the secret of this fish pond, otherwise this young lady will castrate you right now."

Ruan Mi moved the monster core cannon to Kang Dalei's thigh and threatened him viciously.

She was now completely convinced by the rascal in front of her.

If it weren't for wanting to get to the bottom of this fish pond, she would have long since blasted Kang Dalei to death.

"Speak quickly." Seeing that he was still refusing to talk, Ruan Mi urged him.

Kang Dalei had no choice but to speak, though he started spouting nonsense and making things up.

"Once upon a time, there was a Flower-Fruit Mountain. Inside the mountain was a stone monkey. After absorbing the essence of the sun and moon for hundreds of millions of years, the stone monkey finally received guidance from an expert and became a saint overnight."

"And that expert who guided the stone monkey to sainthood and became renowned across the three realms was my ancestor, Patriarch Bodhi."

"Patriarch Bodhi knew the rise and fall of the five realms over trillions of years, and understood the ebbs and flows of the Underworld, as well as billions of nether affairs."

"This fish pond is one of the several treasures he left behind, known as the Black Water Body-Forging Pool."

After Kang Dalei's bullshitting, Ruan Mi naturally didn't believe him. She pulled the trigger and fired a shot.

[Ding-dong, congratulations to the host for breaking through to the Fourth Level of Body Refining.]

"Little lady, didn't expect that, did you? Your granddaddy here is a Body Refining genius."

Grabbing Ruan Mi by the neck, Kang Dalei looked at her triumphantly.

He didn't expect that this shot would turn out to be a blessing in disguise, allowing him to break through to the Fourth Level of Body Refining.

"Hahaha..."

Ruan Mi's face turned bright red, and she struggled to squeeze out a sentence:

"Even if you want to be happy, can you please bandage your wound first? I'm afraid you..."

"Audacious." Kang Dalei's voice suddenly became shrill.

Then his expression stiffened. He immediately realized something and said nervously, his face full of tension:

"I won't become a eunuch... System, help me!"

[Ding-dong, recommending Limb Regeneration, price: 1000 points.]

"Forget it, I'll just recover slowly."

Upon hearing that it cost a thousand points, Kang Dalei immediately closed the system.

"Little wifey, hand over all the monster cores you have on you."

There were a total of thirty-eight monster cores, a world of difference compared to the last batch.

The highest one even reached the quality of a High-Level Monster Soldier.

"You really did try to scam me last time."

Looking at the bag of glistening monster cores, Kang Dalei got angry.

"Tonight you must accompany me; consider it some compensation for me."

Kang Dalei leered, looking Ruan Mi up and down.

He hadn't noticed before, but this little wifey was actually quite pretty.

Her pitch-black, flowing long hair, her round little face, and her curvy figure were truly tantalizing.

Upon hearing Kang Dalei's words, Ruan Mi's expression instantly turned extremely ugly.

"If you dare to touch me, I will definitely make your life worse than death."

Kang Dalei clicked his tongue, looking completely indifferent,

"Little wifey, even if you want to threaten me, shouldn't you wait until after I've made you feel like you're in heaven?"

"You..."

"Me..."

"Shameless." Ruan Mi spat.

Kang Dalei said triumphantly, "Thanks for the compliment."

"Before you make her feel like she's in heaven or hell, shouldn't you let us have a look?"

The well-dressed young man and Kang Dalei's former prison mate from Dongning Prefecture appeared at the entrance of the Fishing Village, though no one knew when.

Seeing the two of them, Ruan Mi, who was in Kang Dalei's hands, immediately became excited.

"Xiahou La, Old He, kill this bastard for me!"

Kang Dalei looked at the two on the shore with a grin, but suddenly his expression changed. With a lunge, a transparent, seven-colored evil aura instantly surged around his body.

His demon-slaying blade appeared in his hand, and he charged directly toward the two of them.

Now that he had broken through to the Fourth Level of Body Refining, he was equivalent to a Tuotai Realm expert. Facing the two who were also in the Tuotai Realm, he had nothing to fear and even felt like laughing.

One slash, slaughtering a horde of monsters.

Xiahou La curled his lips into a smile, and several long swords flew out from his hands simultaneously, stabbing toward the charging Kang Dalei.

"This guy used blade momentum right from the start; does he not know..."

Before he could finish speaking, Kang Dalei put away his demon-slaying blade and smashed a fist toward his face. Xiahou La was instantly sent flying.

His face, which had been quite handsome, caved in directly.

"You're trying to act cool while fighting me?"

In truth, Kang Dalei did not know that every time he unleashed blade momentum, he would consume his own evil aura.

He just thought it looked cool.

Moreover, as a transmigrator, he only had a rough understanding of this world's cultivation methods. It was clearly impossible for him to be like those other cultivators.

He threw several more punches in succession, each one radiating magnificent divine power.

Kang Dalei was at the Fourth Level of Body Refining, but he had awakened the Nine-Colored Evil Aura. Whether in attack, speed, or defense, he was incomparable to ordinary Body Refining cultivators.

Just from that one punch, Xiahou La had nearly lost consciousness, and then several more punches followed.

Xiahou La, who had a delicate and handsome face, turned into a pig's head.

No one expected that Kang Dalei would be so formidable when he exploded with power; even he himself hadn't expected to be this strong.

"I'm actually this strong?" Kang Dalei was somewhat incredulous.

He originally thought that at the Fourth Level of Body Refining, fighting a Tuotai Realm expert of the same level would at least allow him to protect himself, if not fight to a draw. But now he realized that he seemed to be invincible among those of the same rank.

"Who else? I want to take on ten at once!"

Kang Dalei pointed his finger at the stupefied prison mate nearby and walked toward him with a lewd expression.

Seeing Xiahou La's miserable state, the prison mate didn't dare to fight Kang Dalei at all. Moreover, his strength was the weakest compared to Ruan Mi and Xiahou La.

"Bro-brother, don't do it, we are fellow prisoners."

A few minutes later.

The three were hog-tied and bound to a willow tree by the fish pond.

Each of them had inevitably been tormented by Kang Dalei.

Who would have thought that this guy would use every possible means to force them to reveal the location of the monster cores.

"Another hundred or so monster cores. I didn't expect your Heavenly Demon Sect to be quite so wealthy."

After Kang Dalei collected the monster cores one by one, he purchased a few more items from the system.

A wooden house and an upgrade for the Death Fish Pond.

Now that he was at the Fourth Level of Body Refining, the fish pond was about to become useless to him, so he had to upgrade it as soon as possible.
