Chapter 108: Chapter 107: This Seat Never Associates with Monsters【First update, please subscribe】_1
The White Bone Demon laughed and said, "Juanlian, if you don’t let me out, the Bodhisattva really will storm in and kill us."
Sha Chen slapped her and retorted, "Shut up. If I’m going to die, I’ll make sure to take you down with me first."
In a dilemma, Sha Chen suddenly said, "Bodhisattva, are you referring to a White Bone Demon named Bai Jingjing?"
Guanyin replied, "Yes, that’s her."
Sha Chen said, "She did indeed threaten me earlier, intending to seduce and slay me. She even claimed that her master was a friend of the Bodhisattva."
"How could that be possible? I thought. After all, you are the greatly compassionate and merciful Goddess of Mercy; how could you be friends with a demon?"
He patted his chest and said, "That’s why, irritated that the demon tarnished the Bodhisattva’s name, I took it upon myself to slay her."
The Bodhisattva frowned, her eyes emitting a sharp light.
She didn’t believe a single word Sha Chen said.
She was well aware whether the White Bone Demon was dead or not.
However, the White Bone Demon had blurted it out, claiming she was a friend of the White Bone Saint.
It doesn’t sound good for the Bodhisattva to be friends with a demon, she thought.
So she said, "You did well to slay her. I never associate myself with the likes of demons."
Sha Chen gave a thumbs-up and said, "The Bodhisattva is mighty."
Guanyin Bodhisattva asked, "Do you have her remains? I would like to grind her bones to dust and scatter them to the winds."
Sha Chen replied, "There’s no need for the Bodhisattva to trouble herself. I have already done just that. From now on, she can no longer speak ill of the Bodhisattva."
Guanyin Bodhisattva looked deeply at Sha Chen and then nodded with a smile. "Since the demon has been vanquished, I am relieved."
"Considering you must be terrified, you probably suspect that I’m not my true self and dare not rashly open the Formation."
Sha Chen immediately said, "Exactly, I am full of doubts. Please forgive my suspicion, Bodhisattva."
Guanyin Bodhisattva said, "Well then, I was just passing by. When I noticed a demon aura, and knowing you are a deity from the heavens with limited Mana, I feared you might not be its match and came to offer my assistance."
"Since you have slain the demon, I am at ease. Moreover, you have vindicated me. Take this as a reward."
She casually plucked a willow leaf, dabbed it with a drop of Sweet Dew Jade Liquid, and sent it flying towards Sha Chen’s phantom.
Sha Chen did not dare to slight this gift and used his Divine Power to catch the drop of Sweet Dew Jade Liquid, quickly expressing his gratitude.
The Bodhisattva turned and left without looking back.
As the phantom disappeared, Sha Chen placed the drop of Sweet Dew Jade Liquid on the shore. After thousands of checks to confirm there were no issues, he reluctantly brought it into his cave dwelling.
However, he still held it in the palm of his hand, the other hand poised on the Nine-dragon Divine Fire Cover, ready to set fire to it at the first sign of trouble.
After tens of thousands of checks, the drop of Sweet Dew Jade Liquid was indeed problem-free.
But he still couldn’t bring himself to begin Refining it.
He didn’t trust anything given by Guanyin.
So he turned to Jade Rabbit with a smile and said, "Yu Er, this is the Sweet Dew Jade Liquid bestowed by the Bodhisattva. I gift it to you. You have worked hard these years."
Jade Rabbit was overwhelmed with joy and gratitude, tears streaming down her face.
She threw herself into Sha Chen’s arms, sobbing.
"General, you are too kind to me. I have no way to repay you; may I be your rabbit?"
Sha Chen pushed her away and said, "I think I’d better destroy this drop of Sweet Dew Jade Liquid instead."
Jade Rabbit snatched it at once and swallowed it.
Suddenly, her face turned red, and her eyes did as well.
Jade Rabbit said, "This drop of Sweet Dew Jade Liquid, it’s, it’s, it’s..."
Sha Chen’s face changed drastically. As expected, there was an issue.
Jade Rabbit continued, "It’s quite interesting, so comfortable... General, I want more."
Sha Chen’s face darkened. He pulled her over and carefully examined her.
However, while he was inspecting her, Jade Rabbit was being far too cooperative.
He coughed and said, "I’m just checking to see if there’s anything wrong with you, if there are any side effects. Get your leg off me."
Jade Rabbit blushed, silently got dressed, then lay flat and said, "General, please do the check, but be gentle."
Sha Chen’s cheeks twitched.
What does this rabbit want!?
After confirming multiple times that she had no issues, he asked, "So you don’t feel anything abnormal?"
Jade Rabbit replied, "I feel it! A total sense of relief, and it seems like my Primordial Spirit has grown stronger!"
Sha Chen nodded. It appeared that Guanyin really had not tampered with it. Her earlier show of force was probably just to test him. Knowing that he would not give in, she had offered him the Sweet Dew Jade Liquid as compensation, lest he harbor resentment towards Buddhism.
Sha Chen immediately felt some regret.
He pried at Jade Rabbit’s mouth, wondering if he could make her spit it out.
Jade Rabbit, in pain, said, "General, don’t pull at my mouth, it hurts! Pull somewhere else."
Sha Chen tapped her head, saying, "What nonsense are you spouting all the time?"
Then, he had her continue Refining, while he took out the willow leaf awarded by the system and swallowed it to begin Refining directly.
He didn’t care that the White Bone Demon was watching right beside him. He just crazily activated his devouring power.
「One month later.」
The willow leaf was completely Refined, but Sha Chen’s aura didn’t change much.
However, his physical body had undergone an earth-shattering transformation, emitting a brilliant blue-gold radiance.
Dragon-like scales appeared all over his body, and his skin became extremely condensed.
His physical body had reached the Great Perfection of Greater Primordial Golden Immortal, equivalent to the peak state of Greater Primordial Golden Immortal.
It could be said that his physical body was invincible below Da Luo.
Finally, my physical body has once again surpassed my Cultivation, and now, my Cultivation must also advance further, Sha Chen thought with delight. At the same time, he was eager to retreat for Cultivation again as soon as possible to enhance his Cultivation level.
"You, you, how can your physical body be so strong?" the White Bone Demon, still tied to the post, asked in a weak voice.
Ever since hearing Guanyin’s words, she knew she had been abandoned. Moreover, Guanyin knew about her loose tongue and probably couldn’t tolerate her anymore. If Guanyin saw her in the future, she would likely kill her. During this month, she had lived in trepidation. Seeing Sha Chen’s achievements in Cultivation and his formidable physical body, she completely abandoned the idea of killing him to take over his cave dwelling. Firstly, she was trapped and couldn’t escape. The Undefined Flying Rings were one thing, but the Dragon Binding Rope truly restrained her, preventing any escape.
Jade Rabbit was still cultivating. The Sweet Dew Jade Liquid she received this time was too important for her, and she needed to continue Refining it.
Moreover, she very conscientiously and conveniently pulled up the cultivation resources from the fields for her Cultivation, causing Sha Chen to wince every time she acted.
He felt as if she wasn’t just pulling up melons from the field but tugging at his own guts.
Sha Chen wanted to stop her several times but always held back in the end.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained, he thought. If Jade Rabbit became stronger, she could do more for him.
He looked at the White Bone Demon and said, "Do you now realize how foolish it was for you to provoke me before?"
The White Bone Demon’s feelings were complicated as she replied, "Yes, I was foolish and ignorant, beyond compare. Can you let me go?"
Sha Chen said, "No."
He then stood up, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
Keeping this demon around was nothing but trouble. He was set on killing her, to end the matter once and for all.
The White Bone Demon sensed Sha Chen’s intent to kill and was terrified, as if she saw death approaching.
"Don’t, don’t, don’t kill me! I, I have great use, please don’t kill me..."
Initially, she wanted to face death with dignity, but she realized she was still very afraid of dying.
So she play-acted pitifully, hoping Sha Chen would have mercy on her.
But in Sha Chen’s eyes, she was just a painted skeleton, not a beautiful jade.
Therefore, she could only plead for her life, fearing that any delay would mean the end of it.
"Let me go, I beg you, please let me go! I can be of great use," the White Bone Demon pleaded.
Sha Chen asked, "What use are you?"
The White Bone Demon answered, "Anything! I am very skilled."
Sha Chen said, "I don’t need it. A beauty that brings disaster, a painted skeleton—dream not of disturbing my Dao heart."
Then, he lifted the Undefined Flying Rings, ready to execute the White Bone Demon.
The White Bone Demon cried out, "Don’t kill me, don’t kill me, I beg you, really don’t kill me! I am willing to be a servant or a maid, to do anything for you, just don’t kill me."
Sha Chen said, "I don’t need it," and was about to proceed with the killing.
The White Bone Demon cried, "I’ll help you steal from my master’s treasure vault! He has money..."
