Chapter 167: Another Sleepless Night Tonight

"Ding, congratulations on upgrading the Indestructible Demon Body."

"Flesh: Middle Grade of Entering Divinity."

At the moment of upgrade, a surge of heat filled his entire body. The Indestructible Demon Body was an upgraded version of the Titanium Grade Demon Body, and it was now Lin Fan's only means of defense.

The light on his flesh converged inward, becoming even more powerful than before.

Mie Qiongqi, who was frantically beating Lin Fan, saw the scene before him and was utterly astonished, finding it hard to believe. He could sense that the Sect Leader had undergone a change.

"Use twenty percent strength." Lin Fan was overjoyed. For him, the most satisfying thing was taming Mie Qiongqi, who was now a dedicated tool for free upgrades.

"Alright." Mie Qiongqi had also realized the Sect Leader's extraordinariness. Although he had only used ten percent strength, after so many strikes, even a piece of iron would have been smashed to pieces. Yet unexpectedly, the Sect Leader was becoming more energetic.

At this moment, only one thought crossed Mie Qiongqi's mind: the Sect Leader not only enjoyed abusing others but also liked being abused.

But he wasn't stupid; naturally, he wouldn't say it out loud, or else he couldn't imagine what kind of inhuman treatment he would suffer.

At this moment, Mie Qiongqi's aura surged, increasing by one level of strength compared to before. He threw a punch that made the void crackle and pop.

Having long comprehended the Dao of the Void at the high stage of the Minor Celestial Realm, every move he made contained supreme void power, crushing everything in its path.

Although Mie Qiongqi had suppressed his strength, his punch was still not to be underestimated.

"Bang..."

The punch collided violently with Lin Fan's body, producing a dull sound.

"Ding, congratulations, Indestructible Demon Body experience +200,000."

"Eh..."

Something's not right. He had clearly told Mie Qiongqi to use twenty percent strength, so why was the experience gained even less than before? Could it be that this guy was slacking off?

But judging by the fear in Mie Qiongqi's eyes, that seemed unlikely. Perhaps after the Indestructible Demon Body upgraded, twenty percent strength was still insufficient?

That must be it.

...

"Use thirty percent strength." Lin Fan said.

"Yes." Mie Qiongqi dared not disobey Lin Fan's orders. He immediately struck fiercely without hesitation.

"Ding, congratulations, Indestructible Demon Body experience +300,000."

Every time Mie Qiongqi struck, the blood and qi in his body violently churned. This was probably the limit he could withstand at the moment.

But there was no rush; taking it slow would eventually raise the level.

...

"Little Junior Sister, what do you want to eat tonight?" Zhang Ergou was in charge of the three meals for the Nameless Peak disciples. Now that they had this little junior sister, whom the Sect Leader valued highly, Zhang Ergou naturally had to take good care of her.

More importantly, whether he could go to Jialan Peak in the future depended on this little ancestor.

"Eh, where is that dull sound coming from?" Zhang Ergou frowned, puzzled about the source of the noise.

"It seems to be from the Sect Leader's place." Feng Juejue said.

"The Sect Leader is probably refining pills." Zhang Ergou couldn't figure out what the sound was, but it might be the noise from the Sect Leader's pill refining.

"Senior Brother, I want to go see." Cai Zhiqiao, sitting on Zhang Ergou's head, said curiously.

When they left Yongtian City, Cai Zhiqiao would cry and fuss, but as time passed, Lin Fan and the others patiently communicated with her, eventually helping the child gradually get used to this place, and she no longer made a fuss.

Perhaps in Lin Fan's view, if she lived here for several years or even decades, the memories of her family would gradually fade away.

"Senior Brother, that might not be a good idea. If the Sect Leader finds out..." Feng Juejue said from the side. If they sneaked a peek and the Sect Leader found out, they would definitely be tortured again.

Zhang Ergou was also hesitant, but seeing the expectant look in Little Junior Sister's eyes, he gave in. After all, he who receives favors is soft; his future happiness as a senior brother depended on Little Junior Sister. If he offended her now, it would be too late for regrets.

...

"Let's not make a sound, just take a quick look." Zhang Ergou made a major decision.

"Senior Brother is so kind. Zhiqiao won't make a sound." Cai Zhiqiao blinked her big eyes.

"Alright, let's sneak a peek."

...

The three of them crept stealthily, moving lightly and silently, afraid to make any noise. They lay low in a corner, peeking through a gap.

When Zhang Ergou and the others saw the scene inside, their curious faces instantly froze in shock, unable to believe their eyes.

How could the revered Sect Leader in their hearts be... be...

"Ah, refreshing, not bad..." Lin Fan closed his eyes, feeling the experience skyrocketing. This feeling was fantastic. Especially the look of pleasure on Lin Fan's face, which made Zhang Ergou and the others tremble with fear.

Could the Sect Leader have that kind of fetish?

At this moment, Zhang Ergou, who was peeking, suddenly changed expression. He realized that if the Sect Leader discovered them, it would be disastrous.

Especially since the Sect Leader and the new junior brother were... doing that.

He dared not think about it, really dared not imagine.

"Senior Brother, what is Master doing?" Cai Zhiqiao asked in confusion.

"Shh, keep your voice down." Zhang Ergou's hair stood on end. Little Junior Sister's voice was not soft; it was quite clear.

Lin Fan, immersed in the experience gain, hadn't noticed anyone outside, but this clear voice reached his ears.

Lin Fan's expression changed slightly. Someone was peeping outside. The voice was unmistakably his disciple's.

Zhang Ergou and the others must be there too. They had definitely seen his cringe-worthy expression just now.

As the sixth Sect Leader of the Holy Demon Sect, he couldn't let his image be ruined in the eyes of his disciples.

At this moment, Lin Fan's thoughts raced, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

He struck out with a palm, heavily hitting Mie Qiongqi's chest.

Then he flicked his sleeve, his gaze warm and calm. "That set of palm techniques you just used lacked power and was full of flaws. You still need more practice." Then he looked toward the door and said softly, "You can come in now."

Zhang Ergou and Feng Juejue exchanged glances, a trace of helplessness in their eyes. They had been found out after all.

"Master, what are you doing?" Cai Zhiqiao, her short little body stepping over the threshold, came before Lin Fan, looked up, and asked innocently.

Lin Fan smiled faintly, patted his little disciple's head, and said without a blush or a racing heart, "Master was just teaching your junior brother martial arts. Why are you back so early today?"

Cai Zhiqiao nodded as if she understood. "Master, it's already dark. It's not early anymore."

Lin Fan was startled, then looked outside. He hadn't noticed how fast time had flown; it was already dark.

"Qiongqi, you still need to ponder that set of palm techniques carefully. Don't leave tonight. I'll give you some thorough training." Lin Fan said.

"Yes." Mie Qiongqi dared not say anything more and could only nod, but his innocent eyes were filled with tears, as if he wanted to cry.

Tonight would be another painful, sleepless night.
