This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered
Chapter 279 - 270: Pain is Just Momentary

Chapter 279: Chapter 270: Pain is Just Momentary

· The vast Spirit Food Hall was bustling with activity, with countless disciples choosing to dine here. For cultivators of low realms who couldn’t yet abstain from food, consuming Spirit Food could provide a replenishment of Spiritual Power comparable to that of low-level Spirit Pills, so every Super Force placed a high value on Spirit Food.

"Haven’t seen you for three to five days, have you been gobbling up hormones or did you take a tour around your grandma’s house?"

Bypassing the main hall, Liang Yi went directly to the back kitchen. When he saw Uncle Tangerine again, from dozens of meters away, he could spot a big blob of orange stuffing his face. As he ate, he looked greedily from bowl to pot, casually stuffing leftovers into his Tansy cat-storage necklace, showing quite a hoarder’s spirit.

Uncle Tangerine had turned from a cute pet kitty to a big fat orange in just a short month or two.

It seemed like he had only briefly slimmed down before promptly regaining the weight.

"Where would I get a grandma from? I only have a cheap old man!" Uncle Tangerine had sensed Liang Yi’s arrival a while ago but continued his voracious feast unabated.

Several Spirit Chefs from the Purple Cloud Sect were busy serving him freshly prepared dishes while clearing away the empty plates, looking very busy.

"So, you’re admitting you’ve been eating hormones? But something about this situation seems off." Liang Yi reached out and touched Uncle Tangerine’s belly, soft, slippery, and bouncy with a top-notch feel!

Tangerine cats can eat, but Uncle Tangerine’s apparent overeating was clearly problematic. Moreover, Liang Yi felt a tremor in his Cliff Sword Intent the moment they met, sensing something unusual in Uncle Tangerine’s body.

It was as if two forces were battling inside!

"It’s all because I swallowed a strand of Abyss Power that was in the way when helping your master last time, and who knew that stuff would be so hard to digest? It has been wreaking havoc in my belly since. I had no choice but to use a lot of mana to wrestle with it, hoping to wear it down."

Uncle Tangerine kept chewing on a big piece of roasted meat and mumbled indistinctly. Though he liked to eat, this kind of compulsive consumption could really make one’s cheeks sore! The power of the Path of Swallowing was struggling against the Abyss Power, so he couldn’t directly swallow it.

"Why don’t you just try to grasp the essence of the Path of Transformation and be done with it?" Liang Yi found it odd. Surely Uncle Tangerine could have thought of this himself?

"I’d love to, but you know the nature of Abyss Power as well. As soon as I start to meditate and contemplate, it comes out to cause trouble; when I focus on wearing it down, it hides like a turtle tucking its head in."

The more Uncle Tangerine talked, the angrier he got, devouring two plates of Spirit Food fried rice in one breath.

"Is there any solution? Come on and treat me, Kitty Lord here."

"There is a way, but you’ll need to cooperate." Liang Yi couldn’t help but smirk at the sight of Uncle Tangerine, who was practically dislocating his jaw from chewing, looking pathetically at him.

"Meow meow, no problem, I’ll cooperate with whatever!" Uncle Tangerine was eager to end the torment akin to carrying a baby and agreed on the spot.

"Really?"

"Really!"

"Alright then, since you’re so earnest, you might as well expose your belly!" Liang Yi’s smile was wicked; he had long wanted to stroke Uncle Tangerine’s belly, but the prideful creature would never agree to show it.

"····"

Uncle Tangerine eyed Liang Yi skeptically. Was this kid just waiting for the chance to sneak a peek at his private parts? Was his delicate little tummy something anyone could just stroke?

"Hmm?"

Eye to eye, one full of mirth, the other full of suspicion. Under Liang Yi’s persistent gaze, Uncle Tangerine ultimately chose to give in, moving reluctantly and dragging his feet.

After the time it took to eat three plates of fried rice, Uncle Tangerine finally lay down in front of Liang Yi, paws bent forward, revealing his orange belly little by little.

"There, good kitty!" Liang Yi crouched down, grinning triumphantly.

He hadn’t tricked Uncle Tangerine; he was confident in handling the Abyss Intent. After a long time of contemplating the Cliff Sword Intent, it was finally time to put it to use.

"It’s time to test the results of my contemplation," Liang Yi murmured.

"Hey, hey, are you sure this will work? You’re not using me as a test subject, are you?" Hearing Liang Yi’s words made Uncle Tangerine uneasy, what devilry was this!

"Relax, the pain will be momentary."

Liang Yi placed his left hand on Uncle Tangerine’s belly, while the tip of his right hand produced a strand of remarkably fine yet incredibly sharp blood-red Sword Intent, inching ever closer to Uncle Tangerine’s lower body.

At that moment, a certain tangerine cat recalled the fear of being psychologically shadowed by Su Jianyi’s sword.

"Hey hey hey, what are you looking at?" Uncle Orange saw Liang Yi peering in places he shouldn’t. Are you planning on performing a sterilization surgery through this?

"Just taking a casual look, you’re an orange cat, not a human." Liang Yi chuckled awkwardly. He was used to taking care of cats and unconsciously glanced around.

That said, the kid has grown up after all, and should have some privacy.

Liang Yi focused his concentration, the Cliff Sword Intent at his fingertips flickered like a candle flame, while Uncle Orange’s face turned sour, praying that Liang Yi wouldn’t prick the wrong spot.

Fortunately, that kind of low-level mistake didn’t occur in Liang Yi’s hands, and the Cliff Sword Intent smoothly entered Uncle Orange’s body.

Watching Uncle Orange shudder in fear as the finger touched his belly, Liang Yi almost couldn’t maintain the Cliff Sword Intent from laughter.

"Quit laughing, bro, can you get on with the important stuff?" Uncle Orange was almost scared into a cold sweat. The spot Liang Yi touched was perilously close to his vitals, and he was terrified that Liang Yi might accidentally cut something.

Liang Yi was somewhat speechless. Normally, it wouldn’t require such effort and meticulous care, just a straightforward fight to the end. But Uncle Orange insisted on swallowing it into his belly, how could he not be cautious?

But, fortunately, the Cliff Sword Intent handed down from the old father-in-law was truly powerful, slicing through the Abyss Intent that was like an endless torrent of water as smoothly as a hot knife cuts through butter.

Liang Yi didn’t feel any obstruction at all, merely entering the space inside Uncle Orange’s body, finding that small cluster of murky and ominous Abyss Power that was holding a standoff with Uncle Orange’s strength, and before it could react, he struck with one sword, and that was that.

Closely feeling the scene of the sword strike, Liang Yi raised his eyebrows lightly. He had never been able to get close to the Abyss Intent before, only knowing from the panel that this Cliff Sword Intent could target the Abyss Intent, and now he realized that the inner structure of this Cliff Sword Intent was actually four parts similar to his own Abyss Intent.

Liang Yi even had reason to believe that this Cliff Sword Intent was mostly likely concocted by Su Jianyi from the true Abyss Intent.

"This is quite interesting, what’s this? Using the Abyss to defeat the Abyss?" Liang Yi couldn’t help but think.

"Oh wow, it doesn’t hurt anymore, meow!" Uncle Orange wanted to touch his little belly, but alas, with limbs too short, his paws couldn’t reach his belly at all, and he could only helplessly scratch the air.

"Your pose is pretty intoxicating." Liang Yi was directly amused by Uncle Orange’s actions.

"How do I put it? This feels like having a bellyache and then going to the toilet for a relieving experience, meow!"

Uncle Orange’s face was flushed with excitement as he attempted a rollover, but alas, skill activation failed! He could only shift his body bit by bit to get up.

What surprised Liang Yi, however, was that as Uncle Orange twisted and turned, he transformed back from his gigantic orange form to his once petite and adorable self.

"That Sword Intent is pretty interesting. I’ve never come across in my memory that Abyss Intent could be eliminated in this way. Where did you get this from?" Uncle Orange, free from abdominal pain and looking clear-headed, took a few cat-like steps in a circle. Only then did he stop and ask Liang Yi, not remembering that Liang Yi knew this trick; otherwise, he would have pestered Liang Yi to solve the issue earlier.

"Senior Su left it behind before he left. It’s normal for you not to know. This Sword Intent had probably never been used since he developed it, and I guess you weren’t in this world when he came up with it."

"That explains why there is a power targeting the Abyss that I don’t know about." Uncle Orange pondered with a look of contemplation. At that time, he probably was still a Spirit Light of Heavenly Dao, accompanying Liang Yi in another world.

"Alright, your issue is resolved, now help me with mine." Liang Yi took Uncle Orange and strode out of the Spirit Food Hall, heading straight to the sect’s Transmission Array.

"Huh? What other matters do you have, meow?" Uncle Orange looked puzzled. What possible matters could Liang Yi have?

"By the way, do you know about the Abnormal People?" Liang Yi suddenly asked Uncle Orange, who was following him with cat steps.

"You want to ask about the origins of the players, right meow?" Uncle Orange flicked his tail, hitting the nail on the head about what Liang Yi was thinking.

Liang Yi’s expression didn’t change upon his thoughts being uncovered, but Uncle Orange’s response actually confirmed some of his own guesses.

"Yes, you know?"

"I used to know, but not anymore, meow. Anyway, it’s related to Heavenly Dao!" Uncle Orange curled up even smaller and hopped right onto Liang Yi’s head to lie down, licking his paws as he spoke.

"Aren’t you Heavenly Dao?" Liang Yi was puzzled.

"I am merely a Heavenly Dao Spirit, a spark of spiritual wisdom born from Heavenly Dao and reincarnated. If you hadn’t interfered back then, right now I would be in charge of the Heavenly Dao again, but now Heavenly Dao is Heavenly Dao, and I am me, understand?" While Uncle Orange seemed to be complaining, there was no genuine complaint in his tone.

If he had been newly reborn and controlling Heavenly Dao, he would have gradually been assimilated by the torrent of Heavenly Dao, nowhere near as comfortable as now.

"If I were complete, I would definitely know all about the origins of everything, but right now I’m not complete at all, pfft, I mean my memory is incomplete."

"Somewhat like the relationship of a separate Divine Soul to the main body?" Liang Yi mused over Uncle Orange’s explanation, vaguely seeming to grasp something.

"Not too far off, fairly close."

"What about the Abyss then? How did it come about?" Liang Yi suddenly remembered this question. Everyone had always been on alert against the Abyss breaking its seal, so how did this Abyss come to exist?
