171 Swallowing Poison to Kill Your Enemies.

After Ren Zu's break down, Zhi Rui soothed her and they both continued on the travel, through two more months

"How much did you progress?" Zhi Rui asked.

"Seventy-five percent" Ren Zu answered.

That small pang of envy shook Zhi Rui's core again. She sighed. Her mind went back to the method of lust. She didn't think much about it until now. But seeing how useful it is through Ren Zu, her mind kept plotting ways to get the original method from Bianca.

Her physical strength was raised due to the tempering, but her inner energy stayed the same. After inheriting the barbarian's main lineage, The method of lust was purified and contained for a while. But the unsolved desires while not backlashing it halted the advance.

She needed to solve it. After seeing how over the top this kind of method was. Her desire for it rose and ironically, it gave birth to another heart desire.

As she watched Ren Zu Struggle against a level three sleek snake, Zhi Rui kept trying to find ways to acquire the original method. But a way to make Bianca take out the original method of lust to her Didn't even flash through her mind.

She didn't have any treasure a level six could possibly want.

Neither did she had any authority to help the dark elves. Even if she did had those things, could its value be compared to the Method of Lust?

Zhi Rui knew Bianca was only waiting until the sixth level to swallow her cultivation and become venerable of lust and the true heir. But even if she went and asked for the original method as a way to invest in her future body. It wouldn't work. Bianca was whimsical and sadistic. If she could deny something just for the sake of causing displeasure, she would do it.

The only time she managed to move Bianca, was in the cave when she threatened suicide... But now, there other possibilities for the future and the method was just another great tool. It was valuable but not enough to kill yourself over it. and if she tried to use suicide with that kind of feelings, Bianca would see through it and wouldn't believe Zhi Rui's determination to do it.

A light suddenly went off on her head.

She couldn't use suicide right now, as even she didn't believe she would be able to kill herself for a tool. The way ahead was full of possibilities and she isn't on her wit's end like last time.

'But what if.....?' Her eyes shone with madness and Zhi Rui's lip went up on a wicked smirk. 'I situation where the only option is to give it to me. Otherwise, I would die, regardless of my own will.'

Calming herself Zhi Rui only allowed a grin to be on her face.

Ren Zu was done with the beast. She retracted her elongated deadly nails and looked down at her robe, not a single drop of blood stained the cloth.

'I used to change it two to three times per night, but now two months later,I only had to change it once. Experience really makes a difference.' REn Zu thought.

Unconsciously her eyes went to Zhi Rui and she felt a chill run down her spine. The cold, mad Glint on her master's eye scared her.

"Ren Zu,I already tempered myself with earth, fire, water, and air. I hadn't planned on going on another, but we finished it sooner than expected, so why not go all out? Let's go to the Eel's gorge."

Ren Zu stopped. She knew the Eel's gorge, it was a dangerous place where thunder Eels gather. But her impulse was to just follow along with a nod. But Zhi Rui's words from months before were still fresh on her mind.

"M-Miss Zhi Rui, that place is quite dangerous, not even the elders go there. Only some high talented inner elders are authorized to seek some rare alchemy ingredients inside."

Zhi Rui smiled in appreciation for her initiative.

"True, but I need to temper my body, and electricity is a kind of deadly natural element also. I want to build resistance against it."

Bianca on a faraway place instantly receivedZhi Rui's words from her high leveled subordinate.

She tilted her head to the side, she eyed Zhi Rui''s training since the beginning and the same thing wouldn't go well on the Eel's gorge.

Bianca shrugged her shoulders. "Once she sees it, she'll understand that it's impossible, there's no need to meddle."

The subordinate thought about mentioning Zhi Rui's weird grin, but left it out in the end. This kind of minor issue is irrelevant. He thought.

Because Zhi Rui's mind never stopped racing through their travel, their speed was slow, four hours later, Ren Zu looked on the horizon with dread.

Thunder noises and flashes of lightning ran out from a wide and deep abyss.

Soon they reached the place, The loud sound didn't allow for a normal conversation.

But they didn' need to speak for their astonishment to be acknowledged by each other.

Zhi Rui looked down on the small but dark abyss, the water was completely transparent. A group of five meters long and half meters wide lightning eels were swimming while electrifying any living being in that water,sometimes the electricity would go out of the water and hit the surroundings

Ren Zu Trembled. 'Master wants to go there!?'

Zhi Rui approached and spoke in her ear softly.

"You said that you wanted to be abused by me, we should start today."

She extended her storage pouch.

"Inside a storage pouch, is a still, dead place. No light, no air, and movement. You'll be locked on our own body." Zhi Rui's eyes went round. "Get inside." She said.

"I-I can hel-"

"You'll be a burden." Zhi Rui interrupted her words.

Ren Zu hesitated, she couldn't understand why, but Zhi Rui's words were final. She even warned of how the place inside the storage pouch was.

After five seconds Ren Zu simply allowed Zhi Rui to take her into the pouch.

Zhi Rui stepped close to the edge of the cliff. She could feel a strong presence approaching but she was already there.

Without a second thought, she threw herself down. The barbarian old man inside of her was screaming profanities but Zhi Rui only smiled and couldn't care less.

The level five subordinated appeared where Zhi tui had jumped from.

His face went pale and He immediately informed Bianca before following Zhi Rui.
