The anger in Demon Pu's eyes, which had initially dissipated, instantly flared up again, and his voice turned icy cold: "Oh, you dare to tell me to try? Let’s see if your mouth is tougher or my crown feathers are harder!"
As Demon Pu activated his power, tens of thousands of crown feathers once again began piercing wildly through Gu Qingfeng's body.
*Ding!*
Host has been attacked by Demon Pu. Defense +1000!
Gu Qingfeng was stunned. Just like that, his defense increased by a thousand? The drop was way too fast!
He hadn’t expected the defense of the Black Dragon Immortal Body to be so ridiculously overpowered. The power of the Dragon Transformation Realm had been directly reduced by ten times.
"Gu Qingfeng, do you yield?" Demon Pu asked coldly.
Gu Qingfeng curled up in pain, his face twisted, but amidst the agony, there was a hint of defiance. "I yield to your ***."
The cold light in Demon Pu's eyes grew even more intense. He increased the intensity, not giving Gu Qingfeng a moment to catch his breath. Countless crown feathers continued to pierce through him relentlessly.
After the time it takes to burn an incense stick...
Gu Qingfeng, exhausted from acting, found a comfortable position and lay curled up on the ground.
Demon Pu, looking at Gu Qingfeng writhing in pain, asked again, "Do you yield?"
"I yield to your ******."
"Good, very good!" Demon Pu laughed in anger and continued the torture.
The joyful moments passed slowly.
One incense stick, two incense sticks, half an hour, an hour...
Demon Pu's expression shifted from anger to surprise, then to admiration, and finally to numbness.
He silently watched Gu Qingfeng, who was now "on the verge of death," curled up on the ground, his emotions in turmoil.
He couldn’t help but ask himself: If it were him, could he endure such torture for so long?
Demon Pu couldn’t find an answer. He had always considered himself a man of strong will, but after witnessing Gu Qingfeng today, he finally understood what it meant to know that there’s always someone stronger, a sky beyond the sky.
What kind of belief was driving this kid?
Ten thousand needles piercing through his body, and from the inside at that—even the toughest man couldn’t endure such extreme torture for more than an incense stick’s worth of time.
Demon Pu had used this method to interrogate many people before, and the longest anyone had lasted was about half an incense stick.
But Gu Qingfeng had endured it for a full hour!
From start to finish, he hadn’t uttered a single word of surrender, nor had he shown any sign of weakness. The only thing he said was an endless stream of creative and vulgar insults.
In the process, Demon Pu had even learned about relatives he never knew existed.
"Demon Pu, you ***, come on, keep going!" Gu Qingfeng said weakly.
Demon Pu’s expression was numb, showing no emotion.
"Gu Qingfeng, what do you really want?" Demon Pu asked, his voice devoid of feeling.
"I want you to keep torturing me," Gu Qingfeng replied honestly.
"Ah," Demon Pu sighed. "I know you’re angry, given all the torment you’ve endured, but I had no choice. If we worked together, it would be a win-win situation. Why won’t you cooperate?"
"Who said I’m not cooperating?"
Gu Qingfeng, lying on the ground, suddenly spoke up.
His words left Demon Pu stunned.
Gu Qingfeng continued, "You seem to have some serious issues. Which ear heard me say I wouldn’t cooperate? Did I ever say I wasn’t willing to devour the Blood Demon Seed?"
Demon Pu was stunned again. He thought back carefully and realized Gu Qingfeng had indeed never said that.
"Since I agreed to your plan, I’ll definitely follow through. I just fell asleep yesterday, but I never said I wouldn’t continue. On the other hand, you, the moment you heard I was asleep, threatened to kill me and started torturing me, asking if I yielded? After drinking, I don’t even lean on walls, let alone yield to you!"
Demon Pu exploded, "If you agreed to the plan, why didn’t you say so earlier?"
"You didn’t ask!"
"Me?!" Demon Pu was utterly speechless. He felt like he had never been this exasperated in his entire life. What kind of person was this?!
"So, you’re actually willing to carry out the plan. Why did you have to provoke me and endure all this suffering?"
Gu Qingfeng smirked disdainfully. "Who told you to ask if I yielded? Ever since I was a kid, I couldn’t stand hearing that phrase. Don’t ask, because the answer is always no!"
Demon Pu stared blankly at the smug Gu Qingfeng, his mouth opening and closing without a word.
He wasn’t angry anymore. He couldn’t be angry with Gu Qingfeng. This man was a complete madman, through and through. You could never predict what he would do next.
From their very first meeting, it had been like this. When Demon Pu had said, "I came here to kill you," Gu Qingfeng had immediately slapped him, completely disregarding the fact that Demon Pu’s strength far surpassed his own.
When he learned that the Blood Demon wanted him dead, his first reaction was to express admiration for the Blood Demon and say he wanted to pay a visit?
And today’s meeting was even more absurd.
An incredible opportunity was right in front of him, but he had fallen asleep???
He slept so soundly, as if it were Demon Pu’s fault for scheduling the operation too late.
And then there was the fact that this man had agreed to the plan but, because of a single question—"Do you yield?"—had endured an hour of torture!
Which of these actions was something a normal person would do?
After a long silence, Demon Pu finally spoke. "What time do you usually rest?"
"From 11 PM to 1 AM. Why do you ask?"
"Three days from now, at 9 PM, we’ll proceed with the plan as agreed." With that, Demon Pu’s figure vanished in an instant.
Only then did Gu Qingfeng realize that the time had been moved up. Demon Pu was afraid he might fall asleep again.
"Hey, wait, why are you leaving?"
Gu Qingfeng felt a bit unsatisfied. Although Demon Pu had provided quite a bit more defense, the level of the Black Dragon Immortal Body was too high, and it hadn’t advanced further.
He estimated that if Demon Pu went all out, it might be enough to push the Black Dragon Immortal Body to the next level. That would be simple, but he’d have to wait three more days.
Just as Gu Qingfeng was about to leave, he noticed something. On the spot where Demon Pu had been standing, there were now more than a dozen small medicine bottles.
Gu Qingfeng picked them up, opened the lids, and was immediately surprised. He quickly checked each bottle and found that they were all filled with high-quality pills, mostly for healing and boosting cultivation.
Many of these were not even available at the Wutong Prefecture Demon Suppression Bureau.
These pills were worth at least ten thousand gold—equivalent to a million taels of silver!
Gu Qingfeng understood Demon Pu’s intention. This was a sweetener, to ensure he didn’t hold a grudge and would still devour the Blood Demon Seed.
As expected of a Dragon Transformation Realm expert—truly wealthy! A casual gift worth a million taels.
Today had been a huge win. Not only had he gained the Black Dragon Immortal Body and a massive boost in strength, but he’d also received so many precious pills.
Demon Pu was a good demon after all!
