I Can Devour Spirits

In this cycle, he continued without fatigue.

”What... what is he doing?” Shen Mizi’s eyes showed a hint of doubt.

”It’s been five days now!” Ximen Kankan said, ”He seems to be saying that he’s talking to those weapons.”

”Huh?!” Shen Mizi’s mouth formed an O shape.

Xiao Yu’s eyes turned red.

Xiao Yu slowly walked to Duan Rong’s back and called out tremblingly, ”Duan Rong.”

Duan Rong had just grasped a weapon in his hand when he suddenly heard Xiao Yu’s familiar voice. He turned his head, looked at Xiao Yu, his eyes lit up with joy, and said, ”Why are you here?”

Xiao Yu stared blankly at Duan Rong, seeing his haggard face and gaunt appearance, with disheveled hair tangled with a piece of straw.

Xiao Yu walked over, sniffed, reached out, and plucked the straw from Duan Rong’s hair. Looking at his bloodshot eyes, her heart ached suddenly, and she almost burst into tears.

Xiao Yu suppressed her emotions and asked, ”Duan Rong, what are you doing?”

Duan Rong was momentarily stunned, then saw Ximen Kankan and Shen Mizi behind Xiao Yu, both looking at him with the same gaze.

Duan Rong smiled and suddenly threw the weapon in his hand, saying, ”Forget it. I’m done.”

In fact, this was already his sixth day devouring the artifact spirits of these discarded weapons.

He had devoured so many artifact spirits, but the highest rank was only Tier Seven, which corresponded to nothing more than the True Qi Realm Fourth Level.

Not to mention a Tier Twelve Qi Vortex Realm artifact spirit, in these five or six days, he hadn’t even encountered a Primordial Qi Realm artifact spirit.

He had devoured so many artifact spirits and had never encountered a single Primordial Qi Realm artifact spirit. This was probably not a matter of probability but rather due to some reasons he couldn’t fathom.

Moreover, he could brush off Ximen Kankan, that carefree guy, but looking at Xiao Yu’s concerned and worried eyes, he couldn’t hold it together.

Duan Rong threw down the weapon and touched Xiao Yu’s face with his dirty hand, saying, ”It’s alright, don’t worry.”

Xiao Yu, seeing that Duan Rong was acting normally, unlike the crazy behavior Ximen Kankan described, felt most of her worries dissipate.

Duan Rong turned to Shen Mizi and said, ”Hey, Miss Shen, finally willing to come down from the Elder Hall? I thought you had forgotten about us poor guys.”

Shen Mizi’s face turned urgent as she pulled Xiao Yu along, saying, ”Sister Xiao, look at him, when did I ever say that?”

Xiao Yu glanced at Duan Rong, saying, ”Don’t talk nonsense; the mammy from the Elder Hall won’t let her come down until the training period is over.”

Shen Mizi, holding Xiao Yu’s hand, looked at Duan Rong and said, ”Did you hear that? Don’t talk nonsense!?”

”Fine!”

Duan Rong smiled and drew out his words.

He suddenly placed his hands on Xiao Yu and Ximen Kankan’s shoulders and looked at Shen Mizi, saying, ”Seems like we’re gathered again. Let’s go, I’ll take you around my territory.”

Ximen Kankan said, ”Your territory?! Do you still think we’re in Xianggu County?”

”Here, we are the rulers,” Ximen Kankan said, pinching his little finger in front of Duan Rong’s eyes.

”That’s you!” Duan Rong said, ”I’m the mountain king here, got it?”

”Mountain king your ass, I’m still an earth emperor!” Ximen Kankan was clearly unamused by Duan Rong’s bragging.

Duan Rong glanced at Ximen Kankan, didn’t want to argue with this fool, and softened his tone, saying, ”Let’s go. Just consider it touring my place, how about that?”

Ximen Kankan said, ”Now that sounds human.”

So, Duan Rong led Xiao Yu, Ximen Kankan, and Shen Mizi to the mountain top belonging to Shang Xiangyu.

Duan Rong jumped off the iron chain, waving his hand and said, ”Feel free to explore. Everything on this mountain is yours to use.”

Then Duan Rong showed them around, and Xiao Yu, Ximen Kankan, and Shen Mizi were surprised to find that the mountain top was empty, completely silent without any noise.

”Is there no one on this mountain?” Ximen Kankan asked.

Duan Rong said, ”Of course, I told you, I’m the mountain king here.”

”From now on, you’re the second-in-command,” Duan Rong said to Ximen Kankan, then pointed at Shen Mizi, ”You’re the third-in-command.”

Then Duan Rong stopped, not pointing at Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu paused and asked, ”What about me?”

Duan Rong said, ”You’re the wife of the chief.”

Xiao Yu blushed, raised her fist to hit Duan Rong, who immediately dodged, and the two started playfully chasing each other.

Ximen Kankan and Shen Mizi watched enviously.

Ximen Kankan glanced at Shen Mizi and asked, ”Do you want to be the wife of the chief?”

Shen Mizi rolled her eyes at him and said, looking at the mist rolling over the cliff, ”If you jump down from there, I will be.”

Ximen Kankan looked at the cliff, snorted from his nose, and said, ”Who are you fooling? Don’t dream. If I jumped from here, wouldn’t you become the second-in-command?”

Hearing this, Shen Mizi giggled.
