the problem.The only possible explanation is that Ye Bufan secretly tampered with something in the latrine, boosting his cultivation level drastically in a short period of time. That's the only way he...In mid-air, the azure dragon's body rapidly shrank until it transformed into a little girl, looking exactly the same as before, with no difference whatsoever.

Xiaoqing bounced excitedly to Ye Bufan's side: "Brother Ye, that stinky woman ran really fast. Next time I see her, I'll twist her head off and use it as a ball."

Ye Bufan also lamented the cunning of Lan Meier, this woman. Discovering something was wrong, she immediately ran without any hesitation.

"Just run then, it's not a big deal."

For him, Lan Meier was just a passerby, whether she ran or not didn't matter.

"Brother Ye, how are your injuries Are you feeling better"

"Much better," said Ye Bufan. "How are you doing now Have you completed the ascension completely"

"It's done! Now I'm a true ninth-order demon beast, and a very powerful one at that."

Xiaoqing's face was filled with pride and satisfaction, while her eyes were full of gratitude.

"Not bad!"

Ye Bufan nodded in satisfaction. He was afraid that Xiao Qing would encounter difficulties when breaking through, so he directly gave her two Dragon Breath Pills. Now it seems that the effect is really good.

Not only has it already become a ninth-order demonic beast, but it is also much stronger than the average ninth-order demonic beast.

"Brother Ye, thank you. This time if it wasn't for you, I would really be done for."

Little Qing said sincerely.

"Don't be so formal with me, besides you were helping my older brother before."

Ye Bufan said, taking out another Longxi Pill, "You take this too. Will it help you break through to the tenth rank"

Xiao Qing shook her head. “This won't work.”

"Is that not enough I have a few more here."

Ye Bufan said, taking out a small jade bottle. He had refined seven Longxi Pills this time, giving two to Xiao Qing. There were still five left inside.

"No."

Xiaoqing waved her hand and said, "It's not a matter of quantity, but the dragon energy contained in this kind of pill can only allow monsters to advance to the ninth rank. It's not enough to advance to the tenth rank."

"No matter how much I eat now, it's a waste because it won't do any good anymore."

"Oh!"

Ye Bufan nodded, but this result was already very good. A ninth-order monster was comparable to a cultivator at the Great Ascension stage, capable of sweeping across the entire Tianluo Prefecture.

He put the remaining pills away. This wouldn't do Xiaoqing any good, but he might find a use for them later.

Xiaoqing blinked her eyes and asked, "Ye Big Brother, do you know that the inner pill of an eighth-order monster beast is very precious Have you ever thought about killing me before and taking my inner pill"

Ye Bufan said, "Of course not."

"Why Why won't you, when we are both human beings, and those people try every means to get my inner elixir Are they bad people"

Ye Bufan thought for a moment and said, "If before you advance, someone offered you a Dragon's Breath Pill as a condition to kill me, and then gave you the pill, would you do it"

"This..."

Xiaqing didn't answer immediately. Instead, she sat down and put her hands under her chin, thinking hard for a while. Then, she said firmly, "I won't do it."

"What if I asked you to kill someone"

"That's fine, as long as they don't kill you, anyone else is fair game."

Xiaqing answered very directly.

Therefore, I wouldn't covet your demonic beast's inner core, and you wouldn't kill me for a single Dragon's Breath Pill.

This is human nature, because people are friendly. We are friends, and I won't betray you, and you won't betray me.

"Oh!" Xia Qing nodded vaguely, as if she understood.

"Well, human nature is complex. If you want to be a truly human being, there's still a lot you need to learn."

Ye Bufan said, "You protect me first, and I'll talk after I recover."

Things had been completely settled, his heart finally at ease. He began to close his eyes and cultivate his energy, repairing his body.

Although his previous injuries were severe, he had already reached the stage of a small accomplishment in body refinement, and his physical recovery ability was extremely powerful.

Adding the effects of Huichundang, after two hours, the injuries on his body had completely recovered.

He stood up, stretched out his hand, and pulled Dugu Xiu's body into his storage ring.

I have to say, the old guy just dodged a bullet. He was lucky that falling rock didn't turn him into mincemeat.

Let's go.

"Go to the Imperial City of Dàshùn Empire."

After Ye Bufan finished speaking, he flew towards the direction of D Shun Empire's Imperial City. Xiao Qing didn't ask any further questions and followed directly behind.

The hundred-li distance was not far, and soon the two arrived at the outskirts of the Imperial City.

Ye Bufan did not go straight into the city, but stopped at the city gate.

It was already late afternoon now, the city gates were closed, and there weren't too many people around.

He pointed to the imposing city gate in front of him: "Give it a try, let Big Brother see your current strength."

"Okay!"

Xiaqing agreed with a sound, then excitedly rushed up, and punched the city gate.

With a deafening roar, the earth trembled violently.

The original imperial city of the Da Shun Empire was tall and thick-walled, incredibly strong. It was also fortified by magic formations, so even a thousand troops would be unable to make any headway.

Under Xiaoqing's punch, he was as fragile as paper, offering no resistance whatsoever. The hundreds-meter-long city wall was instantly reduced to rubble.

Suddenly, the entire imperial city was thrown into chaos. The guards within the city scurried about like ants on a hot stove.

Ye Bufan was also taken aback. Although he had known that Xiaoqing's cultivation had greatly increased after advancing to the ninth level, he hadn't expected it to be this powerful.

In this case, even without revealing its true form, its cultivation would be absolutely far superior to that of an ordinary Mahayana expert.

"Brother Ye, how are you doing Not bad, right"

Xiaoqing's face was full of expectation, just like a child waiting to be praised.

Ye Bufan held up a thumb: "Not bad, not bad, you're already quite impressive."

As two people were speaking, a disheveled officer with hundreds of men rushed out from the city, looking over and shouting, "What's going on What are you doing"

Due to excessive nervousness, his voice trembled as he spoke.

It's no wonder, just now Xiaoqing's punch was truly amazing, directly destroying the entire city gate, even causing the city wall to collapse hundreds of meters.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it was true. Could this be done by a human Even a Void Core Realm expert couldn't do this, could they

It wasn't just him; the soldiers behind him were standing there, their legs trembling uncontrollably. They were clearly terrified as well.

Then a strange scene appeared: a young man stood at the door with a little girl, looking calm and composed.

While hundreds of elite soldiers here were filled with trepidation, their faces etched with fear.

"Ye Bufan said, "Go call Dugu Yi to see me." "

If someone else had directly called the emperor's name, this officer would have been furious by now, but he didn't dare to show any anger.

"Stay here and wait for me. I'll be right back. Don't do anything stupid."

The officer spoke cautiously, afraid to provoke the other party. Although there were only two of them, they were more formidable than a thousand troops.

After he finished speaking, he bolted into the city. Soon, there was a stir within the imperial palace. Finally, three thousand Imperial Guards rushed out.

Behind him followed a line of people, the king, officials, and noblemen all accompanying Dugu Yi.

In fact, he could hear the commotion clearly without needing that general to report it. He immediately led his troops over.out a furious shout and jumped onto the stage directly.Di Rong glanced at her, a flash of envy in his eyes."How is it a woman again Don't you have any men in the Tianfeng branch""Aren't you looking fo...
