After the True Heiress Travels Back
Chapter 664: He Covets His Body!

Chapter 664: Chapter 664: He Covets His Body!

Quan Sicheng opened his eyes and was immediately greeted by Shi Yaoguang, whose eyes were filled with joyous anticipation.

"You’re back so soon?"

Shi Yaoguang said with a smile, "The moment I thought of you, didn’t my heart just rush back to you?"

"Try this; it’s the tastiest cake I could find after some research."

Quan Sicheng found her words very agreeable and promptly responded, "It’s the flavor I like; you’ve gone to a lot of effort."

Shi Yaoguang replied naturally, "For us, talk of effort is unnecessary, isn’t it? Wouldn’t that make us seem distant?"

Hearing her say that, Quan Sicheng chuckled softly and nodded, "You make a good point."

After finishing the cake, Quan Sicheng prepared to continue his cultivation.

Spurred on by Shi Yaoguang’s words, he was determined to work doubly hard.

Once he could successfully control Demonic Qi, he would be qualified to stand with Shi Yaoguang against Heavenly Dao.

Yes, that’s right.

That’s what he was thinking in his heart.

To stand with Shi Yaoguang against Heavenly Dao.

Emmmm...

Even though it felt slightly off, since Heavenly Dao seemed to be on his side after all.

But he also knew that Heavenly Dao wasn’t as benevolent as it appeared.

If Heavenly Dao were truly so kind, it wouldn’t have schemed against him and Shi Yiqing.

Yes, that’s right, Quan Sicheng knew again.

Though he didn’t know what Heavenly Dao wanted to gain from him.

But, he had figured out that Heavenly Dao was none other than Shang Minghao, who had been following Shi Yiqing around.

At first, he thought Shi Yiqing and Shang Minghao had mutual feelings and wanted to be together.

But then...

He began to feel that Shang Minghao was actually trying to bring him and Shi Yiqing together.

This was far from his initial impression that they were a couple.

Although he didn’t know why Shi Yaoguang had approached him, he felt that Shi Yaoguang was still safer than Heavenly Dao.

Heavenly Dao had its sights set on him, whereas Shi Yaoguang did things specifically targeting him only to attract his attention because she liked him.

Quan Sicheng was swayed by Shi Yaoguang’s few words and completely forgot how she had sternly rejected him before.

Previously, Quan Sicheng harbored the illusion that Shi Yaoguang liked him.

Moreover, he had questioned her publicly.

When he asked if she was playing hard to get, Shi Yaoguang immediately denied it without hesitation.

Shi Yaoguang said she would never like someone like Quan Sicheng.

Playing hard to get?

In his dreams!

However.

Someone in love is just that unreasonable.

Even the unpleasant things that had happened in the past were easily overlooked by him.

For Shi Yaoguang, this was, of course, a good thing.

And precisely because it was a good thing, Shi Yaoguang had no intention of stopping him from letting his thoughts wander.

If Quan Sicheng could conquer himself with his own fanciful thinking, that would be perfect.

Thinking this, she couldn’t help but reveal a smile that reflected her determination to succeed.

Heavenly Dao, oh Heavenly Dao...

I’m afraid it could never have imagined that for every step it takes, the devil is a foot taller.

If Heavenly Dao wants to scheme against her, it can’t blame her for scheming back.

Heavenly Dao still has no idea about Shi Yaoguang’s thoughts.

Of course, it wouldn’t have the chance to know anymore.

Because...

Now it really had no way to deal with Shi Yaoguang.

No, not just Shi Yaoguang, it also had no way to deal with Demonic Qi.

Shang Minghao was now spending every day with Quan Jinbei, absorbing and purifying Demonic Qi, but the rate at which the two of them purified it couldn’t keep up with the rate of its creation.

Their exhaustion was one thing, but the Demonic Qi wouldn’t run dry.

The stark contrast was just ridiculous.

"I think..."

One day, after a tough time, Shang Minghao couldn’t help but speak up to Quan Jinbei.

Quan Jinbei glanced at him lazily, his eyes full of disdain.

If it weren’t for this wretch, his darling little wife wouldn’t have had to compete in acting with another man.

Even if that man was the son he had once fostered, it wouldn’t be acceptable!

With this thought, Quan Jinbei’s gaze at Shang Minghao became even more blatant.

Of course, this was not a lascivious blatantness.

Instead, it was a chill that even the Heavenly Dao could feel emanating from Quan Jinbei.

Shang Minghao kept telling himself in his heart that this was just an illusion.

This was just an illusion.

Only by thinking so could he avoid feeling guilty.

However, even though he reasoned thus, there was still a little bit of fear in him.

Of course, as the Heavenly Dao, he must not show fear.

So, he mustered the courage to speak his mind.

"I want to discuss something with you."

Quan Jinbei glanced at him and asked, "What is it?"

Shang Minghao’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he tentatively began, "Since we’re like this, the Demonic Qi definitely can’t be completely purified, so I have a small suggestion..."

Quan Jinbei cut off his proposal, "Before you voice your intentions, I have a concept I’d like to ask if you agree with."

Shang Minghao lifted his eyes, asking with perplexity, "What concept do you have?"

"One plus one often produces energy greater than two, don’t you agree?"

Shang Minghao nodded his head.

His heart felt fuzzy.

He had a very bad feeling about this.

It was just like...

The feeling when his first clone was refined by Shi Yaoguang.

About this,

he could only tell himself in his heart that these were illusions, all illusions.

This couple, one being able to refine him, surely the other one couldn’t possibly also refine him, right?

The Heavenly Dao is not common cabbage, nor is it some kind of tonic.

If he really could be easily refined by anyone, that would be...

Shang Minghao was full of wishful thinking in his heart.

Little did he know, every one of his thoughts hit the bullseye.

What Quan Jinbei was thinking about was exactly that improbable possibility that he deemed impossible.

Quan Jinbei was coveting him!

Coveting his body!

Not the kind of coveting that wants to engage in unspeakable tales.

But a purely salivating over his body.

Um, why does it seem to be getting more colorful the more it’s said?

But in fact, Quan Jinbei’s craving for Shang Minghao’s body was purely simple.

In other words, Shang Minghao was a bundle of energy, and what he craved was the Spiritual Energy of the Heavenly Dao.

Ordinary people, of course, cannot refine the energy of the Heavenly Dao.

But he was different.

The technique he and Shi Yaoguang cultivated was special.

After cultivating, Quan Jinbei realized that this technique surprisingly matched well with him.

As a result, his cultivation became twice as effective with half the effort, and he also easily attained various additional skills.

For instance, absorbing energy that didn’t belong to him.

The Heavenly Dao had been careless and hadn’t noticed one thing.

That is...

Demonic Qi normally cannot be refined by ordinary people.

For other cultivators, to achieve the effect he did in their cultivation would be completely out of the question.

Furthermore, Demonic Qi and Spiritual Energy conflict with each other.

Once one has cultivated Demonic Qi, they can no longer continue to cultivate Spiritual Energy.

This is the doctrine that good and evil cannot coexist.

In the eyes of the Heavenly Dao, both Shi Yaoguang and Quan Jinbei are cultivators.

Of course, since this native world doesn’t have the conditions for cultivation, the Heavenly Dao doesn’t know what true cultivators are like.

This led to his misunderstanding about Quan Jinbei’s abilities.
