76: You humans are so evil.

"That outfit doesn't suit you," Su Chen said, trying to keep his voice calm. His gaze swept over Yue Yao, making an effort to sound as steady as usual.

"Why not?"

She leaned closer to Su Chen. Beneath the velvet fabric, her curves rose and fell, trembling slightly with her movements. When she tilted her head back, her nose almost touched Su Chen's chin.

"Does it not look good?"

Su Chen was startled by her sudden closeness.

Sunlight streamed in through the French windows, casting a golden edge on her snow-white hair. That pure and earnest expression, coupled with the striking outfit, made Su Chen's temples throb. A wave of heat quietly spread through him.

"It's not that it doesn't look good," he said, taking a deep breath and suppressing the strange feeling in his heart. "Go change into something else. There are new clothes in the closet."

"Oh." Yue Yao pouted. Although she still didn't understand why, she obediently nodded and turned to walk towards the bedroom.

When she reached the doorway, she suddenly stopped. Her long ears drooped slightly as she looked back at Su Chen, "Then when can I wear this outfit?"

Su Chen looked at her pitiful expression and felt a surge of irritation.

He walked over and pulled Yue Yao in front of the computer: "Since your learning ability is so strong, come on, research it yourself."

...

Ten minutes later, Yue Yao, blushing, closed the [CET-4 & CET-6 Exam] folder.

"You humans are too wicked!"

"This outfit... it doesn't cover anything at all!"

She thought of how she had looked just now, recalling those images, and her legs rubbed together in shame.

"Yue Yao, Yue Yao, you are the future Demon Emperor! How can you be like this?"

Saying this, she opened the computer again and continued to study English.

...

Su Chen leaned against the desk, listening to the rustling sounds coming from the bedroom, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Fortunately, this rabbit didn't do it on purpose. Otherwise, if she continued to tease him a few more times, even with his profound cultivation and rich driving experience, he might not be able to hold on.

At this moment, a cool sensation spread through his body, nourishing his limbs and bones.

He twisted open the second bottle of star water and took another large gulp. The white frost on the bottle melted from the heat, leaving a cold, damp feeling on his fingertips.

If other cultivators saw this, they would probably be shocked.

star water was a treasure during the four Mortal Stages (Meridian Opening, Qi Gathering, Core Condensing, Spirit Solidifying), but by the Spirit Sea Realm, almost no one used it anymore.

No other reason than this: Spirit Sea Realm cultivators had already opened their Spiritual Sea, and the quality of their spiritual energy was no longer on the same level as before.

Only a massive supply could show any effect, and only a person like Su Chen, who had emptied the Security Department's inventory, would dare to drink it so freely.

The bedroom door opened with a "click."

Yue Yao walked out wearing Su Chen's black T-shirt. The wide collar revealed half of one shoulder, and the hem barely covered her buttocks, revealing two fair, slender legs. Her tail poked out from the gap in the hem, wagging gently.

Her expression was calm now, but the blush on her ear tips had not yet faded.

"Master, what are you drinking?" She walked to Su Chen's side, curiously leaning in to look at the bottle in his hand. Her nose twitched slightly, as if distinguishing the scent.

Su Chen didn't answer. He simply waved his hands, and instantly, a small mountain of high-grade spirit stones piled up on the coffee table in front of them, their lustrous glow swirling in the living room.

"Wow!" Yue Yao's eyes lit up instantly, like a rabbit finding a carrot. She pounced directly on the pile of spirit stones, grabbed one, and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Crunch—crunch—"

The high-grade spirit stone was as crisp as a biscuit in her mouth. Spiritual power instantly erupted in her mouth, and crumbs fell from the corners of her lips.

While gobbling it down, she reached for the star water on the table, twisted open the cap, and guzzled it down. Her Adam's apple bobbed up and down with her swallowing motions.

Su Chen's eyelids twitched.

One should know that the hardness of high-grade spirit stones was comparable to Profound-grade magical artifacts. Ordinary cultivators would hold them in their hands to slowly absorb the spiritual energy. This rabbit, however, was directly gnawing on them. How sharp must her teeth be?

Looking at Yue Yao's wiggling little mouth, he secretly rejoiced that he hadn't harbored any special thoughts earlier.

Half an hour later, Yue Yao patted her bulging stomach and let out a burp. A powerful surge of spiritual energy suddenly erupted from her body. White light enveloped her entire being, and her slightly immature aura instantly became steady and profound.

"This is truly the Void God Realm," Su Chen raised an eyebrow, perceiving the information coming through the contract.

Yue Yao's abilities also became clearly visible in his mind:

[Moon Shadow Mystic Veil]: Draws upon the power of the Great Yin's origin, transforming formless moon shadows into a mystic veil covering the body. It can conceal one's tracks amidst light and shadow, block aura, spiritual energy fluctuations, and even divine sense prying. Even a Saint Realm cultivator would find it difficult to detect.

[Moon Essence Jade Liquid]: Formed by the condensation of the true essence of moon essence within the Moon Rabbit clan's bloodline, it is crystal clear like dew and warm like jade. Containing the life force of the Great Yin, it can heal severe injuries, replenish deficiencies, and warm the divine soul upon contact. With these three effects combined, it is truly a heaven-defying healing sacred item.

[Burning Moon Emperor Qi]: Burns one's own origin blood essence to draw upon the Great Yin Emperor Qi and transfer it to a target, forcibly elevating their cultivation. The target's cultivation is temporarily boosted, capable of crossing one major realm at most (e.g., Linghai Peak -> Virtual God Early-stage). The upper limit cannot exceed one's own realm (currently Void God Realm, thus the target can reach Virtual God Peak at most).

[Great Yin Moon Wheel Array]: Draws upon the Great Yin spiritual energy of heaven and earth, using the divine soul as a brush and moon essence as ink, to outline a Moon Wheel restriction within a hundred-zhang radius. Once the array is activated, silver light spreads like a net, containing the three laws of "Fixation," "Restriction," and "Coldness," trapping enemies within the moon essence barrier, rendering them immobile and their spiritual energy frozen.

Su Chen's heart stirred. This combination of abilities was simply perfect for support. Whether for stealth infiltration or team combat, it could play a huge role. Especially [Burning Moon Emperor Qi], which could instantly provide an extra major realm of combat power at critical moments.

He remembered his physical body, strengthened by the Taixu Dragon Blood, which not only far surpassed others of the same rank in strength but also granted immunity to all spells below the Spirit grade. If Yue Yao's assistance was added...

A bold idea formed in his mind: soloing the beast tide.

If he could succeed, all the merit points in the entire Jiang City would be his.

But the painful memories of his previous life quickly brought him back to reality. Now was not the time to take risks.

He glanced at his own cultivation, Spirit Sea Realm Peak.

If he could break through to the Void God Realm, then it would be stable.

Su Chen no longer hesitated. He opened all the remaining star water on the table and poured bottle after bottle into his mouth.

The icy liquid transformed into pure energy within his body, surging along his meridians towards his Spiritual Sea.

Two hours later, Su Chen slowly opened his eyes. The spiritual energy fluctuations around him were even more condensed than before.

Within his Spiritual Sea, the previously sparse spiritual liquid had become as thick as mercury. Although his cultivation temporarily dropped to Linghai Mid-stage, the quality of his spiritual energy had skyrocketed several times, and its condensed state far surpassed what it was before.

He moved his limbs, his joints making faint crisp sounds, and a smile played on his lips.

Improving his cultivation had never been difficult for him.

Su Chen picked up his phone, tapped the icon for Clan Luck Expedition, his eyes sharp as blades, with faint lightning flowing around him.

"Clan Luck Expedition, activate."
