Chapter 108: Pets Recognize Their Masters

  At the moment he sensed that tender green, Nie Kong felt a strange connection between himself and the seed, a connection that originated from his soul.

  Suddenly, a scene appeared in Nie Kong's mind, which was the memory brought by the seed. These memories basically confirmed Nie Kong's previous guesses.

  When he was struck by lightning, the Demon Server suddenly malfunctioned. The ultimate BOSS, Ziluohuanling Xiang, and the data of the pharmacist Nie Kong, who was wrapped in its leaves, somehow merged together, transforming into a seed-like form, which was then infused into his still-unextinguished soul consciousness through the gaming helmet, finally arriving at the Tianling Continent with him. In this process, it seemed that Ziluohuanling Xiang and Nie Kong's data had lost quite a bit.

  Game data and human souls merged! Who would have thought that such an absurd thing existed in the world? Nie Kong couldn't help but sigh inwardly, but thinking about it, even being possessed by a powerful entity from another world was possible, so having game data inside him wasn't entirely unacceptable.

  After germination, the absorption of that emerald green accelerates, and a few seconds later, the remaining bit on the surface of the seed enters the interior along the seam of the bud.

  "Blood absorption complete, pet 'Zi Luo Huan Ling Xiang' successfully recognized its master. Please name it, Master!" A thought suddenly came over.

  "Huh, pet?"

  In a daze, he felt the connection between himself and the Ziluohuan Xiang becoming increasingly clear, as if it had become an inseparable part of his body.

  The consciousness once again entered Nie Kong's mind: "Blood absorption complete, pet 'Purple Spirit Fragrance' successfully acknowledged master, please name your new pet!"

  "Is it fragrant?"

  Nie Kong's heart moved slightly as he tentatively thought of these two words in his mind, unsure if they would be received.

  "Username created successfully!"

  After the extremely formalized consciousness recovered, a thread of joyful and pleasant emotions spread from Ziluohuan Lingxiang's body, and Nie Kong quickly felt a strong sense of dependence from this emotion, which felt like a small pet relying on its master to show affection.

  "Am I really its master now? Xiang Xiang?" Nie Kong exclaimed in his heart.

  "Ah ya ya!" Zi Luo Huan Ling Xiang trembled slightly, as if responding.

  "Smells good!"

  Vaguely hearing this voice, Nie Kong suddenly became interested. "Ah ya ya" was the signature battle cry of Ziluohua Xiang in the game, and every time she was about to launch an attack, she would let out a loud shout, just like the miserable scream of the "Red Pupil Demon" when it died. However, now Ziluohua Xiang's voice sounded extremely childish, as if a mature and charming woman had turned into a little loli.

  "Ah ya ya......" Zi Luo Huan Ling Xiang trembled again, her tone subtly changed, as if she was pouting.

  "Smells good!"

  “……”

  Like a creepy uncle teasing a little girl with a lollipop, Nie Kong was excited and called out to it dozens of times.

  Finally stopped this kind of nasty attempt, Nie Kong felt a bit strange. If he was still in the game, having the ultimate BOSS, Ziluohuan Lingxiang as a pet would absolutely shock the entire demon world. This was a symbol of status and power, but now, what role would the hybrid of BOSS and pharmacist player have?

  "No matter if it's useful or not, having this little thing by my side isn't bad, after all, it comes from the same world as me." Nie Kong smiled to himself, suddenly remembering the consciousness transmitted by the Purple Luo Phantom Spirit Fragrance when it recognized its master.

  "Has the blood been absorbed?"

  Is that dark green liquid separated from the blood also blood?

  Nie Kong's mind was filled with doubts, his fingers lightly pinched the Tian Zhen, and his attention was focused on the ball of energy inside the Yao Chi hole. He could feel a very powerful force from it, but because it had been trapped in the Yao Chi hole after leaving the blood vessels, that force had lain dormant, and he didn't know if it would erupt again.

  That power has a strong destructive force, Nie Kong's illness is entwined with it, his meridians are blocked, and his spiritual power cultivation is slow. It can be said that it is haunting him. But it is also very unfamiliar, Nie Kong searches his memory, but he cannot find any information about it, perhaps it was inherited from his mother?

  "Oh no, oh no, oh no......"

  The soft and tender cry interrupted Nie Kong's contemplation, the voice conveyed dissatisfaction, as if asking Nie Kong why he had been ignoring it for so long.

  The little guy is quite sticky, huh?

  Nie Kong smiled to himself, suppressing his concern about the dark green blood, and again called out "Fragrant, fragrant" as he pulled out the golden needles from the nine major hidden acupoints one by one with his right hand.

  Nie Kong's tone and voice changed, making the little guy tremble non-stop, until his "ah ya ya" cries became weaker and weaker, as if he had fallen asleep.

  "Finally got it done."

  Nie Kong took a deep breath, and began to attempt the "Five Star Shift Technique". A moment later, Nie Kong was overjoyed. Without those dark green blood clots blocking him, whether it was shifting the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body or absorbing and refining the wood element spiritual energy, his speed had increased by nearly tenfold. This efficiency was already at the level of a normal Spiritual Master.

  If you can unblock the 12 regular meridians and the 8 extraordinary meridians, the efficiency of your practice will definitely be greatly improved on the basis of what it is now.

  Nie Kong was quite confident about this point.

  About two hours later, the empty Ling Shen San Jiao was filled with emerald green wood-based spiritual energy. Unlike before, when he had cultivated "Wu Xing Nao Yi Jue" for half a day and only accumulated a tiny bit of spiritual energy, which was then dispersed and blocked by the dark green blood.

  The spiritual energy inside the cave was abundant, and Nie Kong only felt that his whole body had become several times clearer. "Creak" a sound, the door was suddenly pushed open, Nie Kong hurriedly turned to look, and saw Hua Mei sitting on the ground, leaning against the door frame, deeply asleep, apparently unintentionally touching the door.

  "Sister?" Nie Kong walked over and called out softly.

  "Be careful, uncle..."

  Her eyebrows were furrowed, her face was tired, and even in sleep, she seemed to be worried about herself. Nie Kong's heart felt like it was being grasped by a small hand, both painful and grateful, and he couldn't help but carefully pick up Hua Mei.

  Softly humming a sound, Huā Méi's arm suddenly wrapped around Niè Kōng's neck, the plump and tender flesh pressing against his chest, rubbing against him as he walked. The soft and springy sensation transmitted over, Niè Kōng could even feel those two protruding points, but at this moment, there wasn't a single licentious thought in his heart.

  Huā Méi's slender body was not heavy, but Nie Kong found it somewhat laborious to hold her in his arms. In the end, he had to mobilize the spiritual power within his apertures to carry Huā Méi into the adjacent room.

  The red candle in the room was only half left, and the candles on this continent of Tianling were more durable than those in the previous life. They were made from a kind of spiritual beast's oil, and a candle as long as a foot could be lit for ten days or even half a month.

  Her bedroom was also simple, only with a small wardrobe more than Nie Kong's side. She gently placed Huamei on the bed, and Nie Kong carefully helped her take off her shoes and covered her with the quilt.

  Her eyebrows and face were delicate, her eyes like a painting, but on her forehead there was still a red mark left from when she bumped into the wall yesterday. Fortunately, it was just a scratch, and after it healed, it wouldn't leave a scar. Nie Kong couldn't help but reach out his hand to gently stroke the red mark a few times.

  Looking back on the scene at that time, Nie Kong suddenly felt a little grateful to Er Lin and San Mu. If it wasn't for them holding Hua Mei in time, she might have died yesterday, which was an outcome that Nie Kong absolutely could not accept.

  If it's said that Nie Kong's feelings for Hua Mei yesterday were only derived from the memories of this body, but now he really likes this good girl. Of course, this liking is just a simple liking, neither is it the original Nie Kong's respectful love for his sister-in-law, nor does it involve romantic feelings between men and women.

  It wasn't until a while later that Nie Kong finally got up, put down the curtain, blew out the candle, and left the room.

  In the darkness, Huamei covered her face and began to pant heavily, her heart racing as if it was going to jump out of her chest. The scorching feeling spread from her cheeks to her whole body, making her feel soft and weak all over. She couldn't believe that she had actually been carried to bed by her uncle, and even worse, she was still hugging him tightly. How embarrassing!
