34: Turn the tables on them

A pink mist enveloped the entire dense forest.

Su Mei twisted her snake-like waist, walking step by step toward Lin Chen, who was already "dazed and swaying precariously."

On her face hung a triumphant smile, certain of victory.

In her eyes, greed and excitement burned at the prospect of soon enjoying a supreme delicacy!

In her view, the hunt was already over.

This exceptional man before her, possessing the Chaos Dao Body, was about to become the perfect stepping stone for her ascent to the peak!

"My dear Junior Brother, stop struggling."

She extended her slender, jade-like hand and used her painted fingernails to lightly stroke Lin Chen's cheek, which had become hot due to the "drug's effects."

"Tonight, you are destined... to belong to me."

However.

Just as her fingertip was about to brush Lin Chen's lips.

A sudden change occurred!

The moment Su Mei's demonic claw, filled with greed and desire, was about to touch Lin Chen.

All the confusion vanished instantly from the eyes of the young man who had been "dazed" just a second ago! Replaced instead by a profound coldness, deep as an icy pool, and... mockery!

"You..."

The seductive smile on Su Mei's face instantly froze! Before she could react, a strong, powerful hand, moving faster than her own, clamped down on her fair white neck like an iron vise!

"You thought this low-grade aphrodisiac could work on me?"

Lin Chen's voice was cold and filled with sarcasm. His terrifying cultivation, which had already reached the late Golden Core stage, erupted fully at this moment, without any reservation!

Feeling the terrifying pressure that far exceeded her imagination, Su Mei was completely stunned! Her captivating peach blossom eyes were instantly filled with endless horror and disbelief!

"You... you were acting the whole time?!" Su Mei finally understood, her voice filled with endless terror.

"What else?" Lin Chen smiled, a smile that looked more terrifying than a demon to Su Mei! "Did you really think someone like you was worthy of being the 'Hunter'?"

The reason he played along with her for so long was precisely to... use her own scheme against her!

He wanted her to fall harshly from heaven into hell when she was at her most complacent and unguarded moment!

"However, there was one thing you said just now that was correct."

Lin Chen looked at the "prey" in his grasp, whose face was already pale with fright, and the curve of his lips grew increasingly wicked.

"Your Profound Yin Demonic Body is indeed... a great tonic for me."

As his voice fell, he gave Su Mei no chance to react.

He immediately sealed all of Su Mei's ability to resist, and then, like dragging a dead dog, pulled her into the soundproof barrier he had already set up nearby.

Looking at the seductive woman before him, who had completely become his captive and whose eyes were filled with despair and terror, the system's notification sound rang out in Lin Chen's mind.

[Ding! Detected an exceptional "Fertilizer"—the Profound Yin Demonic Body (peak Golden Core stage)!]

[This physique contains vast Life Essence, making it an excellent "soil" for conceiving offspring and accelerating their growth!]

[The host can combine with it, sow the Chaos Dao Seed, and consume the Profound Yin Demonic Power and Life Essence within its body for "Forced Maturation"!]

[Under Forced Maturation mode, the time until offspring birth will be greatly reduced, and their innate talent quality will receive a massive boost! Simultaneously, the host will receive double the system rewards!]

[Warning: This action will cause irreversible permanent damage to the "Fertilizer." host, please use with caution!]

"Fertilizer?"

"Forced Maturation?"

Seeing the system's simple and brutal notification, a brilliant smile appeared on Lin Chen's face.

This function was simply tailor-made for the current situation!

"N-no... don't come closer! What are you trying to do?!"

Su Mei looked at Lin Chen's malicious smile and finally felt fear originating from the depths of her soul!

She didn't know what Lin Chen intended to do, but she knew it would definitely be ten thousand times more terrifying than killing her!

"What am I doing?"

Lin Chen slowly leaned down and whispered softly into her ear, laughing like a demon:

"Naturally... I'm thanking my good Senior Sister for delivering herself right to my doorstep and contributing a share of strength to the proliferation of my Lin Family."

"Don't worry, it won't hurt much."

"Soon... you won't be able to feel anything at all."

"Ah—!!!"

Su Mei instantly let out a miserable shriek that sounded inhuman!

To her horror, she discovered that the Profound Yin Demonic Power she had painstakingly cultivated for over a hundred years and was so proud of was frantically pouring into his body like floodwaters released from a dam!

And she herself was completely unable to resist!

Harvesting Yang to Supplement Yin?

Now, the situation was completely reversed!

She, this arrogant "Hunter," was actually being crazily subjected to... Harvesting Yin to Supplement Yang by her "prey"!

"No! Stop! My... my cultivation!"

Su Mei could clearly feel her cultivation rapidly plummeting at a visible speed!

peak Golden Core stage!

late Golden Core stage!

middle Golden Core stage!

Conversely, Lin Chen's aura was steadily rising under the infusion of this incredibly pure Profound Yin Demonic Power!

The cultivation bottleneck he had already reached at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage was instantly... broken through under the impact of this massive energy!

Boom!

A powerful aura, far surpassing Foundation Establishment, erupted from within Lin Chen!

Early Golden Core Stage!

middle Golden Core stage!

late Golden Core stage!

In just a few breaths, Lin Chen's cultivation soared like a rocket, breaking through three realms consecutively, directly reaching the terrifying realm of the late Golden Core stage!

Furthermore, the dragon elephant particles within his body surged to... ten thousand particles!

"No... no...!"

Su Mei looked at the man who had completed three consecutive jumps in strength right before her eyes, her seductive face already consumed by endless despair and terror!

She finally understood.

From beginning to end, she was merely... a clown who had walked straight into a trap!

A mobile experience package... that had willingly delivered itself!

Finally, when the last trace of Profound Yin Demonic Power within her was completely drained.

Her charming, voluptuous body quickly withered, like a flower drained of moisture, turning into a shriveled husk.

(One night later)

When the first ray of morning sunlight shone into the dense forest.

The soundproof barrier slowly dissipated.

Lin Chen walked out feeling refreshed and invigorated; his aura was more harmonious and unfathomable than before!

Feeling the unprecedented, explosive power within his body, he slowly exhaled a mouthful of foul air.

That mouthful of foul air actually condensed in the air into a faint phantom image of a dragon elephant!

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully sowing the seed and completing one round of "Forced Maturation"!]

[Time until offspring birth has been reduced to one month!]

[Offspring talent has been preliminarily assessed as High Heaven-rank!]

[Congratulations, host, you have received a system reward: dragon elephant particles x 20,000! The cultivation bottleneck has completely loosened, and you are about to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm!]

Boom!

An incomparably vast energy surged into Lin Chen's limbs and bones!

The dragon elephant particles within his body instantly soared from the previous ten thousand to... thirty thousand particles!

And he was only separated from the true Nascent Soul Realm by a window paper as thin as a cicada's wing!

He could pierce through it at any moment!

This was the true overwhelming power of the many sons, many blessings System!

Inside the barrier, Su Mei's fate was utterly miserable.

Her seductive and fiery body quickly withered, like a flower drained of all nutrients.

Her beautiful hair turned yellow and split at the ends.

Her entire cultivation base plummeted from the peak Golden Core stage all the way down to... the Qi Refining Realm!

She was even worse off than an ordinary Outer Sect Disciple!

It was as if all her vitality, energy, and spirit had been extracted, turning her into... a walking corpse.

Lin Chen didn't spare her a glance. With a casual wave, he unlocked her restraints.

"Scram."

"Go back and tell Liu Ruxu."

"She is next."
