The evil woman cultivates immortality, and the whole clan offers sacrifice to the heaven

"If I were really that innocent little Suzaku, I would probably be grateful to the Demon King right now, and would be full of trust and reliance on him."

Meng Wan curled her lips with sarcasm.

Unfortunately, she is not that simple little Suzaku.

The Demon King wanted to use her, so she would use him in return.

Since he was using the method of attacking her mind and claiming to help her practice, she would take the opportunity to drive away the two flies surrounding her and get some practice resources at the same time.

Early the next morning, Meng Wan was absorbing the demon energy when she suddenly heard footsteps outside the door.

Immediately afterwards, Qingyu and Bifang appeared at the door of her palace almost at the same time.

Qingyu was wearing light armor and had a calm expression.

Bifang was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a gentle smile on his face.

The two looked at each other, and a hint of hostility flashed in their eyes, but they soon returned to calm.

Qingyu spoke first, "Ms. Meng Wan, there is a grand auction in Yaodu today, do you want to go shopping together?"

Bifang smiled slightly, not wanting to be outdone, "Little Princess, the scenery of the Demon City is picturesque, and the weather is just right today, why don't you go out with me?

I can also tell you some of the history and secrets of the demon race."

Meng Wan glanced at the two of them with a cold expression and a calm and distant tone.

“Thank you for your kindness, gentlemen. However, His Majesty the Demon King reminded me yesterday that I should concentrate on my cultivation and not be distracted by other things.

Meng Wan dare not disappoint your majesty's expectations, and I hope the two gentlemen will forgive me."

When the two heard this, their expressions changed slightly.

Qing Yu's eyes flickered, and he changed his words, "It was my rudeness that almost delayed Miss Meng Wan's practice, but blindly working in isolation is not good for practice.

I have a lot of practical experience. The weather is good today. I wonder if Miss Meng Wan is willing to go with me to the martial arts arena for some actual combat?"

Bifang cursed Qingyu for being shameless in his heart and quickly made a suggestion.

"Little princess, magic is the foundation of cultivation. I happened to bring some ancient books about the secret magic of the Suzaku tribe today. Why don't we discuss it together?"

Meng Wan was unmoved, "Sorry, I plan to practice alone today, please go back."

Qing Yu frowned when he heard this, "Ms. Meng Wan, practice is important, but practical experience is also indispensable."

Bifang also quickly agreed, "Little Princess, you need someone to guide you in practicing magic, otherwise it's easy to go astray. Although I'm not talented, I'm quite knowledgeable about magic, and maybe I can provide you with some help."

Meng Wan's expression remained unchanged, and her tone remained cold, "No need to say more, you two. Meng Wan has made up her mind. If you two gentlemen have nothing else to do, please go back."

After saying that, she turned and walked into the palace, closing the door casually, blocking Qingyu and Bifang outside.

Qingyu and Bifang looked at each other, and the atmosphere became a little awkward for a moment.

Neither of them expected that Meng Wan would reject them so bluntly, leaving no room for maneuver.

On the way back, Bi Fang couldn't help but complain in a low voice, "What on earth is the Demon King doing? He lets us get close to Meng Wan, but lets her concentrate on her cultivation. Isn't this a contradiction?"

Qingyu glanced at Bifang indifferently, his tone calm.

"How can you and I easily guess the intentions of His Majesty the Demon King? Since he wants us to get close to Meng Wan, he must have his reasons. You and I just need to do as he says."

Upon hearing this, Bifang's expression froze, and a look of contemplation flashed in his eyes.

"Commander Qingyu means... His Majesty the Demon King has another hidden meaning behind this action?"

Qingyu nodded, with a hint of profoundness in his tone.

"Meng Wan has the blood of the Vermillion Bird and is gifted, but her mind may not be as pure as it appears. His Majesty the Demon King asked us to get close to her just to test her.

As for letting her concentrate on her cultivation, it is to make her rely on and trust Your Majesty."

Bi Fang suddenly realized, "I see... Your Majesty is indeed wise. What should we do next?"

Qing Yu said calmly, "Just cooperate with the actions of His Majesty the Demon King. Since Meng Wan has chosen to concentrate on her cultivation, we should not disturb her too much.

Occasionally approaching her in the name of cultivation can not only complete Her Majesty's mission, but also will not cause her disgust."

Bifang nodded, "Commander Qingyu is indeed very thoughtful, which is admirable."

"I don't deserve it. I am just working for your Majesty, so I have to think three steps ahead."

Meng Wan stood in front of the window, watching Qingyu and Bifang leave, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.

She gently closed the window and called the maid, her tone slightly distressed.

"I have encountered some bottlenecks in my practice recently, and I have some doubts in my heart. I wonder if His Majesty the Demon King has time to give me some guidance?"

The maid replied respectfully, "My little princess, His Majesty is very busy today and I'm afraid he can't spare time. However, Venerable Jinpeng happens to be free and may be able to help you solve your doubts."

Meng Wan nodded after hearing this, "Okay, then please take me to see Venerable Jin Peng."

The maid responded and then took Meng Wan to the residence of Venerable Jinpeng.

The residence of Venerable Jinpeng is located on the east side of the Demon King's Palace. It is an ancient and solemn palace.

After the maid reported, Meng Wan walked into the hall.

I saw Venerable Jinpeng sitting cross-legged in the center of the hall, with a faint golden light covering his body, looking majestic and mysterious.

Meng Wan took a step forward and bowed respectfully, "Meng Wan from the Suzaku Clan greets Venerable Jin Peng."

Venerable Jin Peng slowly opened his eyes, a golden light flashed in his eyes, and then he looked at Meng Wan with a gentle tone.

"Little princess, you don't have to be so polite. I heard that you have encountered a bottleneck in your practice. I wonder what your doubts are?"

Meng Wan looked respectful and had a sincere attitude.

“Your Excellency, when I was practicing recently, I always felt that the blood power in my body was difficult to fully control, as if there was a force fighting against me.

I have never encountered such a situation before, I wonder if you can give me some advice?"

Upon hearing this, Venerable Jin Peng's eyes flashed with a thoughtful look.

He pondered for a moment, and then said, "The Vermillion Bird bloodline is the supreme bloodline among the demon race, and it is indeed not easy to control.

The obstacle you feel may be because your bloodline power has not yet fully awakened."

Meng Wan was a little surprised. "The bloodline has not yet fully awakened? How can it be awakened?"

Venerable Jin Peng smiled and patiently explained, "Blood awakening is a long process and cannot be achieved overnight. It requires both opportunity and external assistance.

There is a forbidden area in the Demon King's Palace, called the 'Pulse Washing Pool', which contains the purest demon energy in the world.

If you can enter and practice, you may be able to awaken more bloodline power."

"Pulse washing pool?"

Meng Wan was delighted at first, but then hesitated, "Thank you for your guidance, Venerable. But I'm afraid that Meng Wan is not qualified to enter a place like the meridian washing pool."

Venerable Jinpeng waved his hand, speaking in a gentle tone.

"That's fine. You carry the blood of the Vermillion Bird, and you are the future pillar of the demon race. If you are willing, I can ask the Demon King to allow you to practice in the meridian cleansing pool."

"really?"

Meng Wan's eyes were filled with excitement, and she quickly bowed, "Thank you for your help, Your Excellency. Meng Wan will work hard to cultivate and strive to awaken all the blood power in my body as soon as possible."
