Without doing the deed, Ju Chen's strength increased by devouring Cao Mao's blood and all his essence energy. Fortunately, the system replenished his lost energy upon death. Without the system's help, he might have had to start over from scratch.
"Oh, dear…"
Cao Mao didn't know if he should be happy for Ju Chen or not. Fortunately, her loyalty stayed afloat over 240% after the transformation, so she was still a reliable ally.
Still, Cao Mao was frustrated by the repeated dead. He gazed at Ju Chen, who had fallen asleep again.
"I was planning to treasure you, but you dare to lay your hands against your master. You shall be punished!"
Cao Mao popped an orc strength pill in his mouth. Then, he did what he was supposed to do.
During the deed, Ju Chen opened her eyes slightly to look at Cao Mao, who was busy violating her. She closed her eyes, pretending to be sleeping. She wasn't aware that she had a bright smile on her face.
For the remaining hours in the space, Ju Chen allowed herself to be violated to repay Cao Mao for freeing her. Unlike other girls, she didn't moan throughout the deed, but her blushed face, rough panting, leaking juice, and the lower mouth contraction informed Cao Mao that she was enjoying it.

Morning of the next day
Cao Mao and Ju Chen woke up at the same time.
When Ju Chen found that she returned to the real world, she checked her belly and her genital. Surprisingly, no sign of sexual activity remained in her real body. Yet, she could feel the changes inside her.
Ju Chen recalled something. She closed her eyes to concentrate to open a certain system menu.
System Inventory
Currently, Cao Mao had unlocked the system inventory feature for all his yin slaves. Each of them had one slot of space to store one type of item.
In Ju Chen's system inventory, a dried corpse of Cao Mao was inside.
Ju Chen grinned, "So, it was real. It wasn't a dream. He really saved me…"
"Huh!?"
Ju Chen wasn't alone in her carriage. Ju Shoufen was controlling the horse reigns of Ju Chen's vehicle, and she heard Ju Chen's voice. The elder immediately stopped the carriage and jumped inside the wagon to inspect her granddaughter.
"Chen'er! Did you just speak!?"
Ju Chen snapped back from her trance. She gazed at her grandmother with her black pupils.
Various emotions overwhelmed Ju Chen. She lost count of how many times she wanted to speak with her grandmother, but she couldn't control her body or utter a word.
Tears rolled down on Ju Chen's cheek. She gave Ju Shoufen a sweet smile, "I'm back, grandma."
Ju Shoufen also couldn't control her emotion. At long last, her granddaughter recovered from the side effects of a sinister cultivation technique.
The two wailed and hugged each other. Their cry was so loud that everyone from other carriages could hear it.
.
Cao Mao picked his ears and activated the telekinesis skill to extract his ear wax. The wailing was too noisy that their high-pitched voice made his ear wax fall off.
"Ju Shoufen is going to interrogate me again. I hate this."
Cao Mao rubbed his Ring of Slave Master and used one of its abilities – Communicating with his yin slaves via telepathy.
"Do me a favor. If the elders ask you about my secrets again, try not to reveal too much information about my dream space."
It was a one-way communication method. Cao Mao couldn't hear the response from the yin slaves, but he hoped that they would follow his instruction.
.
That day, Ju Shoufen, Jia Wenhe, and Jia Shan didn't pester Cao Mao again. At night time, when the yin slaves had to take turns driving the carriages, the elder gang gathered in Ju Chen's wagon and questioned her about what had happened to her.
Ju Shoufen was so happy that she had forgotten about Cao Mao's existence. She kept checking and asking about Ju Chen's body and mental condition.
"Were you sick? Are you feeling alright right now?"
"Is your dantian okay?"
"Are you hungry? Grandma has several top-grade grain pills. I also have a small piece of frozen rain dragon meat. I'll find a few rare herbs and refine it into a Yin Dragon Pill, so you can get a rain dragon bloodline, okay?"
"Are you feeling sick or sluggish when you use blood Qi?"
"What happened before?"
The questions came non-stop. Yet, Ju Chen never got annoyed. She was so happy that she could be with her grandmother again, and she answered every question, one at a time.
Unfortunately, Ju Chen put her grandmother as her top priority. She violated Cao Mao's instruction and revealed what he did to her in the space.
The three elders heard everything, including the time distortion part. Ju Chen revealed that the time felt longer when she was in her dream world, and Cao Mao could infinitely self-resurrect after she killed him a few hundred times.
Ju Chen even brought out a dried mummy corpse of Cao Mao to prove her story.
"WHAT THE HELL!?" Jia Shan jumped in shock. He recognized the faint aura and the dead body's face.
Jia Wenhe immediately jumped out of the carriage and rushed to Cao Mao's carriage at the back. He didn't need to confirm his son-in-law's presence as he heard the moaning voice of Wei Yuan.
"Ahn! I'm cumming!"
"…"
Jia Wenhe frowned and returned to Ju Chen's carriage. He looked at Jia Shan, "Your disciple is still alive."
Jia Shan widened his eyes in shock, "I know! But this corpse is his!"
"True. But he is still alive."
"But this is also his real body! Even without Qi, I can tell!"
"HE-IS-STILL-ALIVE."
"…"
Ju Shoufen also examined the mummy corpse. She took out a knife and dissected it.
"What are you doing, grandma?" Ju Chen was taken aback.
"You said that you sucked his blood until he died, right?"
"Yes."
"When a cultivator with the strength of 4th-stage or higher dies, they usually leave behind a fragment of their essence core. Mao Miaomiao has mastered wood element and lightning element, so his essence core fragment should still be in there."
Jia Wenhe raised his eyebrows as he figured what Ju Shoufen wanted to do. Jia Shan, on the other hand, stared at Ju Shoufen in disapproval.
"Are you going to refine the corpse?"
Ju Shoufen snorted, "This brat has an orc bloodline. It would be a waste not to refine it into a bloodline crystal. Also, wood element fragments can be used as a high-grade fertilizer. I can grow divine trees with it."
"…"
While Ju Shoufen was talking, she extracted a dark grain from the corpse's abdomen, below the belly button. It was similar to a kidney stone, but it shone in green light.
That was a fragment of Cao Mao's essence crystal, which stored wood Qi inside.
Ju Shoufen grinned as she had an inspiration. She planned to ask Ju Chen to kill Cao Mao several times in the space and collect his dead bodies for her.
Unfortunately, the crystal fragment and the corpse suddenly disintegrated into dust.
"Huh?"
Ju Shoufen scoured for the crystal fragment in a panic, "WHY!? WHY DOES IT DISAPPEAR!?"
Jia Wenhe and Jia Shen were also surprised. They gazed at the dust for a moment before they turned to Ju Chen, who might know something.
Ju Chen shook her head. She was relieved when the corpse disappeared, though.
"I'm sorry. I don't know why it disappears. But I think there must be a mysterious law that prevents this exploitation."
Ju Chen was a smart girl. Although she had been inside Cao Mao's space a few times when the vampire ego was still controlling her body, her consciousness took notes of the surroundings and his actions.
Sometimes, Ju Chen saw the aftermath of several battles, which Cao Mao had fought against clones. Corpses of Cao Mao and the clone remained in the space for a few minutes before they turned into dust and merged with Cao Mao's body.
Some weird laws were at work in that space, and Ju Chen suspected that it wasn't Cao Mao's power. If it were his, he could have killed and controlled everything inside the space, and the clones should have been powerless against Cao Mao.
Ju Chen told the elders about her hypothesis.
Jia Shan, Jia Wenhe, and Ju Shoufen understood what Ju Chen was trying to say. They also guessed that Cao Mao was under the control of a high-ranked Dao God.
"I think the space prevents us from stealing his fortune," After Ju Shoufen muttered to herself, the corpse dust flew as if they were alive. They returned to Cao Mao's carriage.
Jia Wenhe got out of Ju Chen's carriage to see if they merged with Cao Mao's body as Ju Chen's testimony or not.
Of course, they merged with Cao Mao, and the latter didn't even react to the massive cloud of dust. He simply pumped his seeds into Wei Yuan's belly as if he was in a trance.
Jia Shan and Ju Shoufen also saw how it happened. They came up with the only explanation.
"Figured. Mao Miaomiao has a dao god backer."
"So, what are we going to do with him?"
Jia Shan shrugged. He didn't care if Cao Mao would be someone else's vessel. As long as he could get his dantian back with his brother's help, he could return and kill Wei Huang any time.
Jia Wenhe also didn't mind if Cao Mao served other gods. From Ju Chen's testimony, the pervert guy did something to dispel the vampiric ego and healed his daughter. He had no reason to betray the benefactor.
Ju Shoufen was still skeptical about Cao Mao. But since her granddaughter expressed that they shouldn't harm him, she was willing to support Ju Chen.
Unbeknownst to Cao Mao, most of his secrets were out. Yet, the elders chose to maintain the current relationship since he had helped them so much.
From that day onward, Ju Shoufen, Jia Shan, and Jia Wenhe stopped bothering Cao Mao about his secrets. They focused on protecting the carriages and the babies.
Without the elders' interference, Cao Mao had more time to dual-cultivate with Wei Yuan during the daytime. At night time, he summoned the rest of his yin slaves to use the manual dual-cultivation mode.
Two months later, all yin slaves increased their compatibility with wood Qi to 100%. Only Wei Yuan fell behind since she could only dual-cultivate with Cao Mao during the daytime.
Aside from Ju Chen, the strength of all yin slaves reached the peak of 4th-stage. Wei Yuan became the weakest member as she only had an essence river, maintaining her cultivation base at the mid-stage of 4th-rank.
Wei Huang never sent people to come after them, which was surprising. Cao Mao didn't know what happened to the other side, but he appreciated the peaceful period.
Also, they finally reached their destination, the abandoned city and the former territory of Dong Zhongying.
