Chapter 2099: Chapter 2096: Xiao Xi
"Heal the wounds on my body?" Ling Feng looked at his wounds and laughed, "The injuries on me were caused by Void Demon, and they carry the power of Void Demon. Even for me, it would take at least a night to expel it!"
The woman bit her lip and resolutely said, "I can help you, I really can!"
Saying this, the woman stepped forward and placed her hands on Ling Feng’s arm. Instantly, Ling Feng felt a strange power flowing into his body, then this power unexpectedly absorbed the Void Demon’s power within him and returned to the woman’s body.
"This..." Ling Feng was shocked. In just a few breaths, the problem that had been troubling him was resolved. Could this be more unbelievable?
Who exactly is this woman, and why is she able to purify and absorb the Void Demon’s power inside me? Ling Feng fell into contemplation.
It must be said, this woman’s powerful ability is precisely what Ling Feng needs, as Ling Feng will be facing countless battles ahead. If he has this woman by his side, it will greatly increase his battle endurance, which would benefit the improvement of his strength.
The woman’s face showed a hint of delight, "See, I told you I could help you!"
Ling Feng looked at his own wounds, as the power of Void Demon had been absorbed, and his wounds had healed.
"What’s your name?" Ling Feng decided to keep this woman by his side, but before that, he needed to learn more about this mysterious woman.
The woman hesitated for a moment, then shook her head, "I don’t know my name. Since I became aware, I have wandered alone here. I don’t know my background, don’t know if I have friends, and don’t know if I have family!"
The woman’s eyes showed a look of confusion, causing Ling Feng’s heart to tremble, "Since you don’t know anything, let me call you Xiao Xi from now on!"
"Xiao Xi?" The woman was stunned for a moment, then her face blossomed into a radiant smile, as if she had been transformed, "Alright, from now on, I’m called Xiao Xi. I have a name now, I’m called Xiao Xi!"
Watching the cheerful Xiao Xi, Ling Feng finally realized how bright and captivating she was. Perhaps her appearance had been concealed by dirt, but that smile revealed a glimpse of her true self.
"Xiao Xi, I agree to let you stay by my side, but I have a few questions for you, and I hope you’ll answer truthfully!"
Xiao Xi nodded and said, "Of course, as long as I know the answers, I won’t hide anything!"
"I want to know the reason you’re able to live in the Demon Controlling Battlefield!" Ling Feng said seriously, "Although you possess a peculiar power, it seems you don’t have fighting capability, so can you tell me how you survive in such an environment?"
Xiao Xi softly replied, "Actually... I feel there’s a power in me, a power that makes Void Demons ignore my presence! So, when I sense danger, I escape towards the direction where Void Demons gather."
The power that makes Void Demons ignore? Is that power really so miraculous? It seems Xiao Xi’s identity is not simple, but unfortunately, she doesn’t remember her background now.
"Then, what else do you remember?" Ling Feng continued to ask.
Xiao Xi furrowed her brow and said, "There’s always a voice in my heart telling me to go deeper into the Demon Controlling Battlefield, but I always feel that the inner region is very dangerous, so I never dared to go in."
Ling Feng said calmly, "I came to the Demon Controlling Battlefield to fight, to improve my strength. For sure, I will keep going deeper until the core. If you’re afraid..."
"I’m not afraid!" Xiao Xi looked at Ling Feng and said earnestly, "As long as I can stay by your side, I’m not afraid of anything!"
At this point, Xiao Xi’s face showed a trace of shyness, "So... can I know your name?"
"Ling Feng!" Ling Feng said, "You can call me Big Brother Ling! But since there’s a voice in your mind, it implies your background might be related to the depths of the Demon Controlling Battlefield. If we go in together, maybe we can find the origin of your background!"
Ling Feng said this as he reached out his hand, "Xiao Xi, from now on, let’s look out for each other!"
Xiao Xi looked at Ling Feng’s palm and hesitantly placed her hand on his.
...
With Xiao Xi joining, Ling Feng found his battles became more fluid. Even when injured, with Xiao Xi’s help, he could quickly recover and enter new battles.
Unconsciously, a month passed, and Ling Feng felt like a year had gone by because, during this month, he fought every single moment. Due to Xiao Xi’s presence, every time Ling Feng got wounded by Void Demons, she would heal him immediately, allowing Ling Feng to rejoin the battles.
Throughout this month, Ling Feng experienced at least several dozen battles daily, and his strength smoothly advanced from being a Seventh-level Demon to an Eighth-level Demon.
"These Crystal Cores are such a pity!" Ling Feng looked at his stock of a large heap of Crystal Cores, feeling a bit annoyed—they’re like a chicken rib, tasteless to eat and regrettable to discard.
"If only I could absorb the Void Demon’s power within them!" Ling Feng fiddled with the Crystal Core in his hand as he had this thought, "Demon God, do you know any method to absorb the power inside? Didn’t you say earlier there’s a cultivation technique to absorb it?"
The Demon God’s voice came, "There is, but I don’t know either. Do you think I’m the Demon God, aware of everything in the Phantom Demon Continent? My name Demon God is just a title, not a true deity!"
Ling Feng rolled his eyes, well, don’t count on the Demon God for this matter!
However... Ling Feng’s mind rose with the thought, as for the Absorption Technique, he did learn one before—the Blood Demon Technique!
This he learned from You Ruo, and the Blood Demon Technique had helped Ling Feng greatly before. He wondered if this Blood Demon Method could absorb the power inside.
As this thought emerged, Ling Feng couldn’t help but be eager. He took a deep breath, gripped the Crystal Core in his hand, then activated the Blood Demon Method, utilizing the Blood Demon Power, attempting to absorb the Energy within the Crystal Core.
But to Ling Feng’s disappointment, although the Blood Demon Method was activated, it seemed there was a powerful Prohibition on the Crystal Core, obstructing the absorption by the Blood Demon Method.
