179: Chapter 179 Your Name?

The two Heart Demons went offline without any warning, leaving Su Mo alone in the environment.

Su Mo wasn't in a hurry. He stood quietly in place, wondering what the two guys were up to.

Not long after, the eyes of "Heaven Moon" and "Tianqiong" became lively again.

Furthermore, large patches of black smoke began to emerge in the Illusion, occupying the entire Illusion in the blink of an eye, leaving no gaps.

In the outside world, countless streams of pure black Devilish Qi erupted from Su Mo's body, even lifting his entire body out of the Floating Life Flower Sea.

Inside the Illusion, the black smoke gathered and transformed into hundreds of Heart Demons of various forms. Some maintained distorted shapes, while others were humanoid figures whose faces couldn't be clearly seen... But regardless, all the Heart Demons were now staring intently at Su Mo with fervent and excited eyes.

“Greetings, Esteemed Teacher!!”

The numerous Heart Demons bowed deeply and shouted in unison, using the etiquette of the Human Race to show respect.

Su Mo looked at these "students" before him. Even with his extensive experience, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch violently.

“Uh... Hello, comrades!”

“Hello, Esteemed Teacher!!”

“You've worked hard, comrades!”

“Serving the Esteemed Teacher!!”

The Heart Demons' response was even more fervent.

Just then, Su Mo saw an acquaintance in the crowd of Heart Demons.

Su Mo looked at her silently, and she responded to Su Mo silently. The surrounding noise seemed to quiet down completely at this moment.

“You...”

“You...”

The man and the demon spoke simultaneously, then exchanged a smile.

“Long time no see... Heart Demon Nine Five Two Seven.”

“Long time no see... Su Mo.”

Heart Demon Nine Five Two Seven's words carried three parts joy, three parts mutual admiration, and four parts inexplicable meaning.

At this moment, her body was incredibly solid. The first time she met Su Mo, she was a strange, relatively ethereal black shadow.

Now, Heart Demon Nine Five Two Seven's figure had transformed into an extremely solid humanoid form, with a graceful stature—slim where she should be slim and plump where she should be plump—making her practically a supermodel among Heart Demons.

But the only flaw was... the color wasn't quite right.

She looked exactly like a black person wearing a tight, black matte bodysuit, with only her sharp, glittering eyes providing any brightness.

“Your current appearance...”

Su Mo hesitated before speaking.

In his understanding, Heart Demons shouldn't have specific forms or genders.

Heart Demon Nine Five Two Seven looked down at her body, and her bright eyes curved into a smile:

“How is it? This is a form I meticulously constructed based on Human Race aesthetics, referencing the appearance of many female Human Race Cultivators.”

“You... don't misunderstand. I just feel that maintaining this form allows me to constantly immerse myself in the role I'm playing.”

“Alright, whatever makes you happy.”

Su Mo gave up on dwelling on it and changed the subject:

“It looks like you're doing well. You're already a Heart Demon General.”

When this was mentioned, Heart Demon Nine Five Two Seven's eyes seemed to brighten even more:

“Thanks to you, brother, ever since we parted, I've felt like I have endless inspiration. I've been combining what you taught me with what I slowly figured out from the tasks given by the Heavenly Dao...”

She walked casually next to Su Mo, intentionally or unintentionally brushing against his arm. A strange, springy, soft, and smooth sensation immediately transmitted itself.

Really?!

Really!

“After that, my success rate for causing Cultivators to fall to Heart Demons went from thirty percent to ninety percent. Ordinary Cultivators simply can't resist the Illusions I create.”

“Consequently, my Realm rose steadily, and I quickly reached the rank of Heart Demon General. But remembering your selfless guidance, I decided to compile a manual so that all Heart Demons would know the contribution you made to my Heart Demon Clan.”

Heart Demon Nine Five Two Seven turned and looked at the many High-level Heart Demons in front of her:

“Originally, there were barely a hundred High-level Heart Demons in my Heart Demon Clan, but now there are almost over five hundred!”

Su Mo's mood became complicated as he listened to her grand claims.

He had only given a little guidance back then, but he hadn't expected this fellow to be such a doer.

Could this be considered... being a Model Teacher for Demons and enlightening the demonic masses?

Su Mo could sense that Heart Demon Nine Five Two Seven's current level of intelligence completely surpassed his imagination.

It was clear that the other High-level Heart Demons were probably similar.

Inwardly, he couldn't help but sweat for the many Cultivators in the Cultivation World.

“Oh right, brother, could you perhaps teach these High-level Heart Demons here? They've admired you for a long time. After you teach them, we can catch up properly. It's been over ten years since we last met...”

“Wait!”

Su Mo quickly waved his hand to interrupt, slightly overwhelmed by the enthusiasm.

“I can teach them, but I still have important business to attend to right now.”

“What business? Do you need me to step in?”

“It's not a big deal, actually. I have a friend who is also here, and they should be caught in a Heart Demon Illusion right now, so you...”

Hearing this, Heart Demon Nine Five Two Seven didn't wait for Su Mo to finish speaking and waved her hand, summoning two High-level Heart Demons:

“The two of you go notify the Heart Demons next door. That is the Esteemed Teacher's friend. You know what to do about the rest.”

“Yes!”

The two Heart Demons agreed readily but hesitated to leave.

Su Mo understood their hesitation and chuckled:

“Don't worry, I'll start giving guidance once you return, and I'll even sign your manuals.”

“Thank you, Esteemed Teacher!”

The two Heart Demons' eyes lit up. After leaving that phrase, they vanished... into Hua Rumeng's Heart Demon Illusion.

The sunset dyed the sky a warm orange-yellow, casting a soft halo over the peaceful Paradise before them.

“Husband, come chase me~ Hahahaha...”

“Daddy, come chase me~ Hahaha...”

Two figures, one large and one small, were running lightly barefoot on the grass, their bell-like laughter echoing along the path.

The larger figure was Hua Rumeng. She looked back, her eyes full of happiness, displaying the innocent sweetness of an ordinary wife, something Su Mo had never seen before.

Beside her, a little girl of about seven or eight years old, with two small pigtails, was half-hidden behind a tree. Her delicate face was exposed, and she surprisingly bore a fifty percent resemblance to Su Mo.

Meanwhile, "Su Mo" stood not far away, a gentle smile on his face, looking like a Loving Father.

“Daddy's coming to catch you...”

“Su Mo” raised his hands. As soon as his voice fell, two streaks of black Devilish Qi appeared beside him out of thin air.

His figure immediately froze, and his brow furrowed.

Heart Demons usually work quickly when taking on private targets; whoever snatches the target gets the job, usually working in pairs.

Otherwise, if there were too many, no single person would get much Divine Soul power.

Moreover, the unspoken rule among Heart Demons is that they cannot interfere with a target that has already been taken over during the work period.

But why would a member of the same race trespass without authorization at this time?!

The flow of time inside the Illusion was inconsistent with the outside world. Seven years had already passed within it.

In a little while longer, this Female Cultivator's Divine Soul would completely dissipate.

A sharp glint flashed in the eyes of the "little girl" hiding behind the tree. She stopped what she was doing and stared intently at the two masses of Devilish Qi.
