90: Chapter 90: I feel uncomfortable all over if I don't inhale for even a minute!

"That's better."

Cao Kun raised his right hand, forcing a drop of essence blood from his fingertip.

Amidst surging spiritual power, the essence blood transformed into a complicated and eerie dark red rune in mid-air.

"Go!" Cao Kun barked softly.

The rune tore through the Void Realm and submerged directly into the center of Feng Jiuyou's illusory brows.

"Ugh!"

Feng Jiuyou's delicate body trembled, and a look of pain and unwillingness appeared on her beautiful face.

She could clearly feel an indelible shackle appearing in the depths of her Soul.

A sense of powerlessness, where life and death were completely controlled by another, swept over her remaining consciousness.

She had actually become a Soul slave to a Golden Core Stage ant.

Cao Kun waved his hand casually, putting away the soul-attracting lamp on the table.

Losing the nourishment of the soul-attracting lamp's flame, Feng Jiuyou's Soul body immediately became extremely unstable, and light spots began to scatter from its edges again.

"Ah…" Feng Jiuyou let out a painful low cry.

Her hands subconsciously clutched her exaggerated, magnificent chest.

In her current state, she could not stay in the outside air for long.

Without the jade pendant as a place to dwell, and having lost the protection of the soul-attracting lamp.

It wouldn't take the time of an incense stick before she completely dissipated between heaven and earth.

The only place to go now was inside the person who had claimed ownership of her.

Feng Jiuyou glared at Cao Kun with eyes full of resentment and extremely reluctantly burrowed into Cao Kun's brow.

Following the Meridians downward, she entered the Dantian Qi Sea.

As soon as she entered, Feng Jiuyou tightly closed her eyes.

As an ancient powerhouse, she knew best just how turbid and unbearable the Spiritual Qi in the bodies of these low-level Cultivators was.

She had already prepared herself to face the flushing of that inferior Spiritual Qi.

She even intended to expend her remaining Divine Soul power to form a shield around herself, trying to isolate those disgusting Impurities to avoid soiling her holy Divine Soul.

However, the next second, Feng Jiuyou was stunned.

The nauseating, low-level Spiritual Qi she had expected did not appear.

Instead, a gray-black airflow gushed out from Cao Kun's Golden Core, tightly wrapping around her Soul body.

At first, Feng Jiuyou was startled and instinctively wanted to struggle.

But when the gray-black airflow actually touched her Soul body, she felt an indescribable, extreme comfort spread to every corner of her Divine Soul.

This gray-black airflow not only did not hurt her, but instead continuously nourished her damaged Divine Soul, which had been dried up for tens of thousands of years.

This repair speed was thousands of times faster than being illuminated by that broken soul-attracting lamp outside just now!

"This is…"

Feng Jiuyou widened her eyes, her breathing beginning to quicken.

"The legendary… Chaos Qi that leads directly to the Origin of the Dao?!"

"How is this possible!"

Feng Jiuyou exclaimed in Cao Kun's Dantian.

In the ancient era, what a brilliant great age that was! Powerhouses were everywhere, and Prodigies were like clouds.

But even in that era, Chaos Qi was a supreme divine object that only existed in legends!

Those old monsters at the Undergoing Tribulation stage, whose cultivation reached the heavens and who had one foot in the Immortal Realm, fought until the stars shattered and continents sank just to find a wisp of Chaos Qi that had leaked from the depths of the Universe.

But even if they were lucky enough to obtain a wisp, they would never dare to absorb it into their bodies easily.

Because Chaos Qi was too domineering; even the Physical Body of an Undergoing Tribulation stage expert would explode and die instantly upon forced contact, and their Divine Soul would be destroyed!

But now, this kid with only Golden Core Stage cultivation—in his Dantian, there wasn't just Spiritual Qi, but an entire vast ocean formed by the gathering of Chaos Qi!

What kind of monster is he?

How could he possibly withstand it?!

Feng Jiuyou's worldview was severely impacted.

But shock was shock. The feeling of being wrapped in Chaos Qi was simply too comfortable.

That comfort, which reached the depths of her Soul, made her unable to control her instincts at all.

Feng Jiuyou closed her eyes and slightly raised her slender neck.

With her sandalwood mouth slightly parted, she began to crazily suck in the surrounding Chaos Qi without any regard for her image.

With the influx of a large amount of Chaos Qi, Feng Jiuyou's Soul body became solid at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The originally semi-transparent moon-white palace dress gradually took on a substantial texture.

Her long legs were crossed and suspended in the Dantian, and even her toes showed a hint of pink.

Cao Kun sat on a stone stool, looking inward at everything happening in his Dantian. Seeing Feng Jiuyou's intoxicated appearance, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Are you a starving ghost reincarnated?"

Hearing Cao Kun's teasing and disgusted voice, Feng Jiuyou, who was immersed in comfort, woke up.

She realized how unsightly her current posture was.

Feng Jiuyou's face flushed red instantly, filled with shame and anger.

She wanted to stop the absorbing action and regain her dignity as an Empress.

However, the temptation of the Chaos Qi was simply too great. Her body simply wouldn't listen to her.

Although she didn't say anything, the speed at which she absorbed the Chaos Qi didn't decrease at all; instead, because of nervousness, she absorbed it even faster.

Seeing that she was only focused on absorbing and completely ignored him, Cao Kun directly issued an order through the enslavement mark in his mind.

"Eating my food, drinking my drink, and still pretending to be cold and aloof with me?"

"Hurry up."

"Call me Master and let me hear it."

Hearing Cao Kun's frivolous voice, Feng Jiuyou's sucking motion paused, and she retorted angrily in her mind.

"Don't even think about it!"

"I would rather die than be humiliated!"

"Even if my Divine Soul dries up and dies here today, turning into dust between heaven and earth, you can forget about making me call you Master!"

She thought that since she had already been planted with an enslavement mark and had entered, this kid couldn't really kick her out.

As long as she refused to budge, Cao Kun couldn't do anything to her either.

"Yo, your bones are quite hard."

Cao Kun wasn't angry either. Dealing with this kind of haughty woman, he, Grand Elder Cao, had plenty of methods.

"Fine, you won't call, right?"

With a thought, Cao Kun used an extremely cruel method. He directly and forcibly cut off the supply of Chaos Qi in the small area around Feng Jiuyou.

The gray-black airflow that had originally wrapped Feng Jiuyou tightly dissipated rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, the area around Feng Jiuyou became empty, and there was no longer a trace of Chaos Qi nourishment.

As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but hard to go from luxury to frugality.

If Feng Jiuyou hadn't been exposed to Chaos Qi from the beginning, she might have been able to endure the pain of her Divine Soul being weak.

But now, her Divine Soul, which had been dried up for tens of thousands of years, had just tasted the world's top divine object. The feeling of being filled hadn't lasted long before it was forcibly cut off!

The huge drop from the clouds to the bottom of the valley made her feel as if ants were crawling all over her body.

"Don't you have backbone?" Cao Kun's voice came slowly.

"Then just hold on. Whenever you figure it out, that's when you speak again."

After saying this, Cao Kun directly cut off communication with Feng Jiuyou, leaving her to struggle on her own.

"Hmm…" Feng Jiuyou let out a painful muffled groan.

She hugged her shoulders, and her Soul body began to tremble uncontrollably.

So uncomfortable.

So wanting… so wanting the Chaos Qi to fill herself…

Having persisted for less than half the time of an incense stick, the Empress's pride, self-esteem, and bottom line all turned into bubbles in the face of that unbearable torture. She really couldn't hold on anymore.

"I'll call…" Feng Jiuyou's weak voice rang in Cao Kun's mind, carrying a thick crying tone and undeniable grievance.

Outside, Cao Kun picked up the teacup on the stone table and took a sip. The corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising.

"Louder, are you a mosquito buzzing? I can't hear you."

Inside the Dantian, Feng Jiuyou closed her eyes, tears of humiliation welling up in her illusory eye sockets. She abandoned all her dignity.

A soft, gentle voice, mixed with a hint of pleading, echoed clearly in Cao Kun's mind: "Mas… Master. Please Master… give me… Chaos Qi!"

Hearing this melodious and tender call, Cao Kun only felt his Blazing Sun Spiritual Root jump fiercely. Sure enough, this kind of contrast was the most addictive.

"Good girl." Cao Kun smiled with satisfaction.

"That's more like a qualified Soul slave."

"Not bad performance, here's a reward for you."

With a thought, the Chaos Qi in his Dantian surged out again, wrapping Feng Jiuyou's Soul body once more. Her dried-up Divine Soul was nourished again.

"Ah…" Feng Jiuyou let out a sigh of satisfaction, lying limp in the Chaos Qi, unable to muster even a shred of thought to resist.

Just then, the crisp System notification sound rang in succession in Cao Kun's mind.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully subduing a top-grade Soul slave: Empress Jiuyou (Feng Jiuyou).]

[Reward task points: 3000 points.]

[Current task points balance: 16900 points.]

[Ding! Triggered long-term hidden task: Reshape the Physical Body for the Soul slave, Empress Jiuyou.]

[Task description: Empress Jiuyou is an ancient powerhouse with an extremely powerful Divine Soul. Please find top-grade Heaven And Earth Treasure for the host to reshape a top-grade Physical Body that fits her Divine Soul.]

[Task reward: After completing the reshaping, the Soul slave will automatically transform into a top-grade Jade Beast (direct contract, ignoring slot limits) and reward a legendary-grade blind box!]

Seeing the series of prompts popping up on the panel, Cao Kun's eyes shone amazingly.

What excited Cao Kun the most, without a doubt, was that long-term hidden task. After reshaping the Physical Body, not only could he get a top-grade Jade Beast for free, but he could also get a legendary-grade blind box!

"It seems that after completely resolving the Ji Family's trouble, I must find an opportunity to go outside Qingzhou."

The Heaven And Earth Treasure to reshape an ancient Empress's Physical Body is definitely not something that a small place like Qingzhou, which is nestled in a corner, can provide.
