Wanting to Live Well but Surpassing the Protagonist – 44 Not Much to See
With all her spiritual power consumed, the secret technique took over again. Liang Xiaorou’s tall and voluptuous body gradually shrunk, returning to its original appearance. She coughed up a mouthful of blood. “I like your character. If there’s a next life, I ‘ll definitely be sisters with you.”
“Okay.”
The two of them looked at the demonic beasts that were fighting each other and smiled slightly.
Faced with death, everyone’s reaction is different. Some people will try everything they can to survive, some will cry in despair, and some will choose to accept it calmly.
They knew that the demonic beasts in front of them were all of relatively low intelligence, which was why they had rushed out to be cannon fodder. The smarter ones were all waiting at the back, avoiding any losses. Moreover, there were definitely even stronger demonic beasts among them. How could they possibly allow these lesser demons to succeed?
Just then, a giant wolf with wings and a worm-faced, beast-bodied demonic beast appeared. The giant wolf slapped out a paw, and all the demonic beasts that were fighting over the right to eat the immortal body were instantly crushed into a pulp.
“The immortal body, which one is it?” The worm-face looked at Qin Shimeng and Liang Xiaorou, who were protected by three layers of barriers that were as fragile as paper to it, and spoke in a thick human voice.
A demonic beast that was about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, the strongest existence that Qin Shimeng and Liang Xiaorou had seen so far.
“It’s the smaller one.” Another demonic beast quickly replied.
“Not even good enough for grinding my teeth, the immortal body.” The worm-face looked at Qin Shimeng. With a sonic wave, the three layers of barriers disappeared. “Sacred body, not bad. You and I, one half each .”
The giant wolf also discovered Qin Shimeng’s Icy Heart Sacred Body and expressed its agreement.
“But, don’t split it vertically, split it horizontally. I want to eat a real half.”
“No problem.”
“My lords.” At this moment, a mid-level great demon dared to speak. “Eating them directly might not be very cost-effective. Why don’t we keep them in captivity? We can scrape off their flesh and collect their blood at regular intervals. That way, we’ll have an endless supply of immortal blood and flesh. Oh, and sacred flesh and blood.”

Because all the demonic beasts’ attention had been drawn to Liang Xiaorou earlier, no one had noticed that Qin Shimeng was also a sacred body.
As soon as this mid-level great demon spoke, many great demons of the same realm around them expressed their approval.
That’s right, there were only two immortal bodies and two sacred bodies, and they were all eaten by the giant wolf and the worm-face. They wouldn’t even get to taste a single hair. But if they kept them in captivity and drew their blood and scraped off their flesh, it would be like having an endless supply of resources. They would also have the chance to taste it.
“Hmm.” The giant wolf nodded, seemingly very pleased. “That’s a good idea.”
Then itped the demonic beast that had slap come up with the idea to death. “But I don’t need you to teach me what to do!”
The other demonic beasts did not dare to speak.
The hierarchy among demonic beasts was very clear, with strength being paramount.
An ant colony can kill an elephant. If they dared to challenge the two late-stage great demons, these numerous demonic beasts would indeed have a chance of killing them. But the problem was that it was impossible for the demonic beasts to have such tacit understanding, and none of them wanted to die. It was not like before, when they had all been blinded by the immortal body.
“What do you think?” The giant wolf asked the worm-face.
“I want to eat it all at once. Keeping them in captivity is too troublesome. But I can’t deny that we could eat more in the future.”
Listening to the demonic beasts discussing their life and death, Qin Shimeng and Liang Xiaorou felt very uncomfortable. To be killed and eaten in the midst of chaos was not such a bad ending, but to be kept as livestock, with their blood drawn and flesh scraped off at regular intervals, was truly unbearable.
That way, they would indeed have a chance to live, and they could wait for the sect to rescue them, but the problem was that they were not willing to survive in this way. They would rather die a quick death.
Qin Shimeng and Liang Xiaorou looked at each other. Just as Qin Shimeng was about to detonate her dantian to commit suicide, the worm-face immediately detected it and released a sonic wave. Qin Shimeng’s true qi instantly became chaotic, and she vomited a large mouthful of blood, suffering a very serious internal injury. Liang Xiaorou was also affected, and blood seeped from the corner of her mouth. The two of them fell to the flying boat, which then lost control and began to fall.
The demonic beasts below that could not fly all opened their mouths wide. The worm-face released another sonic wave, and the flying boat stopped in mid-air.
“We can’t let them continue living. Let’s just eat them.”
“Good.” The giant wolf laughed. “This time, you can do the dividing. That way, you won’t say that I’m not fair.”
“Okay.” The worm-face came to the flying boat and stretched out its beastly claws. Suddenly, the giant wolf launched a sneak attack, and the worm-face was instantly smashed into the ground, crushing a group of low-level demonic beasts.
“What do you mean?” The worm-face raised its head.
“It’s simple. They’re all my food.” The giant wolf bared its fangs.
———Outside the Encirclement
Ye Yong looked at the swarm of demonic beasts in the distance, which resembled a beehive and would send shivers down the spines of anyone with trypophobia. He could not help but stop.
Life is precious. Although Qin Shimeng and Liang Xiaorou were the female leads, they were not the only female leads. There was no need to put himself in danger for them.
With this thought in mind, Ye Yong turned around.
It was not that he did not want to save them, but there were at least a few hundred thousand demonic beasts there, and more were rushing over from all corners of the secret realm. With his less than 500,000 reversal points, he would not be able to kill all those Nascent Soul stage demonic beasts. At that time, not only would he not be able to save them, but he would also get himself killed.
He’s not the protagonist, so he wouldn’t dare to act heroically and risk his life to save a damsel in distress.
“I’m sorry, I will remember all of you. Farewell.” Ye Yongzhen glanced at them and immediately flew away on his small magic carpet.
——Inside the circle
The two late-stage great demons stared at each other, and the air was extremely oppressive. A battle was about to break out.
“Boom!” Suddenly, a suffocating force that made all the monsters present tremble instantly killed half of the monsters that were flying above. Even their blood evaporated immediately, leaving no trace.
A Nascent Soul-level attack! It was terrifying!
The two great demons were shocked. Could it be that the adults had awakened?
They saw a human male sitting on a flying carpet descending from the gap above onto the flying boat of the two Saintly and Immortal Bodies.
Only then did the monsters react from the attack just now. They carefully sensed the cultivation of the human male. He seemed to be at the Foundation Establishment stage. Impossible, right? They sensed him again and confirmed that he was indeed at the Foundation Establishment stage. They were instantly enraged.
“You little human! How dare you kill so many of my brothers!”
“Quickly capture him!”
However, even the reckless monsters did not dare to act rashly at this moment, because the Nascent Soul attack had left them with lingering fears. No one was sure if the other party could unleash such an attack again.
The first thing Ye Yong did when he landed on the spaceship was to take out a prop and set up a formation that could withstand Nascent Soul attacks.
A Nascent Soul-level attack and a Nascent Soul-level defensive prop were both one-time consumables. They instantly cost him 100,000 Reversal Points.
It was hard to earn money, but it was easy to spend it.
Ye Yong ignored the monsters outside and looked at the fallen Qin Shimeng and Liang Xiaorou, his heart aching. He bought high-grade healing pills and fed them to them. Only when their breathing became steady and they were able to open their eyes did Ye Yong heave a sigh of relief.
The first thing Liang Xiaorou did when she woke up and saw Ye Yong was to subconsciously cover her chest. However, she was very weak, and her hand fell down halfway without any strength. Therefore, she did not succeed in covering anything. Instead, it was as if she was telling Ye Yong to look over here.
Ye Yong had already seen everything from this angle. It was flat and small, and he felt that there was nothing to see at all.
So, under Liang Xiaorou’s shy and angry gaze, he took a few more glances.
Tsk tsk, it was really boring. There was nothing to see. He, Ye Mou, never lied.
