Chapter 191 Resolutely Will Not Be a Spirit Pet
"An interesting gadget?"
Tao Tao frowned slightly, not understanding what the other person meant, but she had to admit that she had a lot of things in her hands. Had he discovered something terrible?
Is it a white jade hairpin adorned with flowers, or a swift, cloud-borne horse? Could it be Tuantuan? A Qinglan fruit? Or perhaps Ayan…?
Upon thinking this, Tao Tao immediately became uneasy. The other party was a Nascent Soul stage expert. If he really discovered Bai Yan, how would she escape from here?
Just as her thoughts were becoming confused, the old man slowly walked towards her and released a terrifying pressure that almost made Tao Tao lose her balance, while A Wu had already coughed up blood and fainted.
"Your cultivation is still too shallow; you cannot use this. You should give it to me." With that, the old man raised his hand, and a green light, like a rope, tightly bound Tao Tao. The green light transformed into thin threads that burrowed into Tao Tao's body, seemingly searching for something.
This feeling was awful, as if sharp thorns were probing everywhere inside her body, piercing every meridian, causing her to sweat profusely and her lips to gradually turn white.
"Ugh..." Tao Tao couldn't help but groan, trying to mobilize his spiritual power to break free, but found that the spiritual power in his body was already out of control, and he couldn't even activate his magic weapon. He could only be trapped and at the mercy of others.
The difference in strength between the two sides was simply too great. In the old man's eyes, she was nothing more than an ant, whom he could kill at will, without even a chance to resist.
"It was well hidden, but I still managed to find it."
The old man revealed a cold smile, increasing the force as if he wanted to tear her apart. Tao Tao felt as if her bones were about to be pulled out, and she couldn't help but scream in pain.
As the old man increased his strength, black demonic energy overflowed from Tao Tao's body, and her eyes turned a pale purple, making her look particularly bewitching.
The severe injuries to her body nearly caused Tao Tao to lose consciousness. The old man didn't care how much pain she was in, as long as he achieved his goal. However, he didn't expect it to be so strenuous, as he had consumed a lot of his spiritual energy.
"Almost there." Finally, there was some progress, and the old man smiled with satisfaction. But just as he raised the corners of his mouth, an extremely strong force suddenly appeared from the black demonic energy within Tao Tao's body, rushing towards the old man and forcing him back, causing his body to slam against the wall.
At his level of cultivation, ordinary attacks could not harm him in the slightest, and his body had long been tempered. Even if he crashed into a wall, it wouldn't affect him. But he never expected that the power emanating from Tao Tao's body would almost pierce his primordial spirit.
If he hadn't dodged in time, he would probably have been seriously injured by now.
"Who exactly are you? Why do you have demonic entities within you? And what was that power just now? With your cultivation level, you shouldn't possess such power."
The old man found it unbelievable and stared at Tao Tao in shock, but Tao Tao was still in a daze and didn't want to pay any attention to him. Besides, even if she wanted to answer, she didn't know the reason herself.
This person attacked her without any explanation. She initially thought he had his eye on some treasure and was even worried that he had discovered Bai Yan. But she never expected that he actually wanted the Demon-Slaying Pestle.
That thing crawled into her body on its own. If it hadn't been sealed by Bai Yan, it would have backfired on her sooner or later. Tao Tao even hoped to have it pulled out, she would even give it to him, but the process was really painful.
Seeing that Tao Tao didn't answer his question for a long time, the old man angrily said, "Answer me!"
At the same time, he struck out with a palm towards Tao Tao. Just as the palm was about to hit Tao Tao, the space behind her suddenly distorted, and a black vortex appeared. A hand reached out from inside and pulled her into the vortex. The old man had already sped up, but he couldn't grab anything and watched helplessly as Tao Tao disappeared.
The old man's eyes darkened, and he said coldly, "A spatial array? It seems to be quite powerful."
Tao Tao felt a wave of dizziness, and her body seemed to move backward uncontrollably. After a moment, the movement stopped, and she felt as if she had been thrown to the ground. She was already weak, and being thrown like that, she could only sit down limply.
What happened?
She covered her head, looked up suspiciously, and wondered how she had suddenly changed places after almost being slapped to death by the old man.
The environment still looks like it's in the Bogu Building, but it's no longer the auction venue.
"I……"
"Little guy, you're pretty lucky. I thought the spatial array wouldn't work after it was sealed, but it still succeeded at the last moment. You were just a hair's breadth away from being killed by that old man Qin Yun's palm."
Why does that voice sound so familiar? Tao Tao looked in the direction the voice came from, puzzled, and found a silver-haired, red-eyed man in a black robe standing in front of her, looking at her with an ambiguous smile.
Was it the person sitting opposite him? Why did he save her? Did he want her to become his spirit pet?
Tao Tao struggled to stand up, but found that he still had no strength at all. The Nascent Soul cultivator named Qin Yun had indeed hit hard. He felt that his internal organs had been severely injured and it would be difficult for him to recover for a while.
Just as she gave up getting up, the man suddenly stepped forward, gently lifted her chin, and stuffed a green pill into her mouth. Tao Tao was startled and tried to dodge, but the man touched her, and her body instantly became immobile, leaving her to let the pill slide down her throat.
"Don't worry, it's just a Xuan Yuan Pill. That old guy was too heavy-handed. If you don't get treatment in time, it might damage your foundation and make it difficult to recover. Your cultivation might even stop here."
The man smiled faintly, and it seemed that he was saving Tao Tao. This puzzled Tao Tao. He saved her life and even gave her medicine to treat her. Did he really treat her as a spirit pet?
That won't do! She absolutely will not become anyone's spirit pet!
"Thank you for saving me, senior. If there is anything I can do to help you in the future, I will do my best."
Upon hearing this, the man's smile deepened. He casually crossed his arms and opened his mouth with amusement. Before he could finish speaking, Tao Tao immediately interrupted, "But I will absolutely not become anyone's spirit pet. If Senior insists on doing so, then I can only fight to the death!"
Tao Tao's voice was sweet and childish, and her threats were utterly intimidating, sounding more like she was whining. The other party was a Nascent Soul cultivator, so what use were her threats as a Foundation Establishment cultivator? It was like a joke, completely ineffective.
"You'd rather die than be my spirit pet? Follow me and you might have a chance to ascend." The man raised an eyebrow, finding Tao Tao's appearance amusing and unable to resist teasing him more.
Tao Tao's face was resolute, "I'd rather die than do that!"
If she becomes someone's spirit pet, what will happen to Bai Yan? Wouldn't the gap between them widen even further? She doesn't want that.
Suddenly, the man's red eyes darkened, and his voice became extremely cold. He said, word by word, "Then die."
