CHAPTER 125: CHAPTER 100: BLESSING FRUIT

The evil personality couldn’t win against Li Anle, and changed its name to ’Li Xiao’e’.

"Put your hand in my mouth, and I’ll suck out the blessing from your father god."

Li Xiao’e eagerly opened its tiger’s mouth; she was more than happy to suck out the contamination of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Evil God from Li Cunxu. She desperately needed the power of the Evil God to resist the uncontrollable erosion of the pure white gift.

If the pure white gift struck her soul a few more times, her soul would really be bleached pure white.

Bleaching everything—the matter, soul, strength, Spiritual Energy, and so on—into a kind of pure white eerie energy. This white energy had no aggressiveness, only erosive and assimilative properties.

Li Cunxu placed his hand into the tiger’s mouth, touching the barbed tongue of the pure white young tiger, a slight prick, as if the sharp tiger teeth were ready to bite off Li Cunxu’s palm at any moment.

Li Xiao’e took a big gulp, and the contamination of the Evil God within Li Cunxu seemed to hear the call, rushing into his left hand, exiting through his fingertips, and getting sucked into Li Xiao’e’s tiger stomach.

Having drawn something away, Li Cunxu’s body became extremely weak, finding it hard to stand, yet he was very happy.

The noisy voices that had been urging him to commit evil acts, to kill and burn, to chop off heads were finally gone.

For the past few months, every so often, Li Cunxu would have to attack an outpost of the Blood God Sect, with attacks becoming more frequent, all due to the Evil God’s contamination.

If he didn’t commit evil acts, the contamination would accumulate, and if it exploded, he would lose control and become confused.

Committing evil acts would relieve the contamination, but it only addressed the symptoms rather than the root cause, and it would intensify the Evil God’s contamination.

With the last trace of the Evil God contamination sucked away, Li Cunxu was dizzy, like being anemic, and Li Anle hurriedly supported him.

Li Xiao’e licked its tiger mouth, savoring the lingering taste of the Evil God’s power.

"Mission accomplished."

"Then what’s up with brother?" Li Anle asked.

Li Xiao’e replied, "He’s had his power drawn away; weakness is normal. A bit of rest will help."

Li Anle gave Li Xiao’e a flick on its fuzzy tiger head.

Li Xiao’e covered its head with its fluffy tiger paw, "Why hit me?"

Li Anle said, "No manners, don’t say ’he’, say brother."

Li Xiao’e roared loudly, "I don’t have a brother who nailed me to the bed for ten years unable to move."

"Brother, that was to protect us, to prevent us from committing evil and being killed by the alliance."

"Committing evil is the instinct of an Evil God Believer, not letting me do evil is more painful than killing me."

Li Cunxu, recovering some spirit, patted Li Xiao’e’s head gratefully.

"You saved my life, thank you, Little Evil."

"I’m not interested in your thanks, keep your hand away from my head."

Li Xiao’e shook off the hand from its tiger head.

Li Cunxu, reluctantly withdrawing his hand, the pure white young tiger’s head felt excellent, fluffy, and this was still the head of the Sacred Beast with the renown of the Pure White Sacred Beast.

Li Anle excitedly said, "Little Evil can absorb the contamination of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Evil God, probably the other three personalities can also absorb the contamination of the remaining three gods. Brother, have we solved the problem of Evil God contamination?"

Li Cunxu pondered for a moment and shook his head.

"No, it’s not solved. Evil God contamination is essentially the erosion and assimilation of Evil God power. If the four evil personalities absorb a lot of Evil God contamination, they are actually absorbing a lot of Evil God power. With too much Evil God power, they will evolve towards becoming an Evil Divine Son."

Li Cunxu vaguely remembered a BOSS Divine Son that transformed by absorbing too much contamination from others.

Throughout forty years of gaming career, he had taken down too many bosses, like crucian carp crossing the river; unless the boss had something special, Li Cunxu would find it hard to remember.

The spiritual fetus of the evil personality could merge with a pet beast, and there was no reason why the spiritual fetuses of the other three evil personalities couldn’t. Thus, Li Cunxu suggested that Li Anle’s remaining three spiritual fetuses should merge with pets of dragon, phoenix, and tortoise.

The pure white young tiger had a trace of the bloodline of the Four Symbols White Tiger.

And there were still three spiritual fetuses, just enough to gather the Cyan Dragon, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise, to form the Four Symbols.

Without realizing it, it became dark again, and Li Cunxu had to go home.

"Oh, I almost forgot this."

Li Anle ran into the bedroom and retrieved a jade box from the nightstand.

"What is this?"

"Birthday present."

Li Cunxu’s birthday was on January 1st.

"Didn’t you already give me a birthday present?"

The birthday gift from Li Anle was a handmade picture made from the scales shed by a Red Lotus Carp.

Because it was the first birthday gift Li Anle had given him, it held great sentimental value, and Li Cunxu was reluctant to use it as material for a Blood Banquet Holy Meal.

It hung above his bed.

"This is a birthday gift from grandpa."

The jade box opened, releasing a pleasant fragrance in the air.

"What is this?"

On the fruit was a natural pattern of the word ’blessing’; Li Cunxu found it familiar, but couldn’t recall what it was.

"This is a Blessing Fruit. According to what grandpa said, it’s a rare expansion item. Eating it can add an extra contract slot and bring a stroke of good luck."

There was a complicated expression on Li Cunxu’s face; despite his efforts to keep away from Li Shiji, he hadn’t expected the man to still care about him.

Li Cunxu accepted the Blessing Fruit; he indeed had a need for it.

Besides, since Li Shiyin had already set his sights on him, there was no point in trying to keep his distance from Li Shiji anymore.

Originally, he distanced himself from Li Shiji to avoid being targeted by his grandfather’s archenemy, Li Shiyin, so he could fake his death and escape before Li Shiyin launched a massacre on the family.

Li Cunxu walked a couple of steps, and his cautious or paranoid nature kicked in, feeling uneasy about taking the precious luck-enhancing Blessing Fruit back home, fearing the possibility of it being snatched halfway.

It was possible, even though there were no insiders leaking the fact that he had the Blessing Fruit, some peculiar talents could sense the presence of valuables on Li Cunxu.

Like some pet beasts with a keen sense of smell akin to a dog’s could smell the treasure on Li Cunxu without any innate ability.

"I should eat it here, save myself the worry of being robbed."

Li Cunxu ate the Blessing Fruit in big bites; it was sweet and delicious, bringing peace of mind, as if eating it would lead to good things happening.

On the way home, Li Cunxu indeed encountered a piece of good fortune; he found money on the side of the road.

The money was blown by the wind to slap onto Li Cunxu’s face, as if it had delivered itself to him.

Though it wasn’t much, just two hundred, finding money made the whole day feel more upbeat.

"Maybe I should buy a lottery ticket, might hit the jackpot."

"Nah, I don’t really need money now, no need to use my luck on winning the lottery."

Li Cunxu secretly sold off the unneeded resources obtained from the Deep Red Express sorting center bit by bit on the black market in different districts of Tongdu.

Now, Li Cunxu was very wealthy, but spending this money required some carefulness.

Though it wasn’t dirty money, it still needed to be laundered to be used by Li Cunxu, lest it drew suspicion from the Blood God Sect operating in the dark.

If someone suddenly became well-off without reason, there had to be a reason for it.

Could it be because you kid attacked our Blood God Sect outpost, exchanging the resources for money?

Back at the ranch.

"Dark Crow, learn this skill!"

Li Cunxu summoned Dark Crow and took out the Curse Observation skill seed.
