Chapter 206: Chapter 98: Drought Demon 1, 2

Every time you appear, you must either come with the force of thunder or create miracles; only thus can faith grow stronger, and incense flourish.

Gods and Buddhas, like monarchs, once people see through you and realize you are also flesh and blood, how can you continue this work?

It’s better for people to hold deep reverence in their hearts, knowing there’s a god high above, rather than having this god constantly appear in front of them.

Thus, just after saving the entire Cyan Wood Province, the Buddha, having thrown the raccoon demon to the Prime Minister for interrogation, lay in the grass in an unexpected posture.

He felt the bright sun shining, its delicate warmth dispelling the constant rain.

He stretched lazily, yawned, rolled over the grass, and continued to sleep while hugging a tree.

This battle was tremendously exhausting.

At the time, he was too excited to feel it, but afterward, he needed rest.

After sleeping until late afternoon, Li Xuan jumped up, touched the iron cylinder beside him, and pulled out an incense stick.

He was hungry, time to go home for some food.

As the incense burned, a winding golden path suddenly appeared. But unlike before, the path today extended very far, allowing him to reach home in just one or two leaps, unlike previously needing to cross multiple rainbows.

Li Xuan glanced toward the direction of Xinci Temple.

In that temple, there was plenty of incense, and many worshipped him, which meant all the power from incense in that area could be amplified. He could achieve many times more than before with the same effort.

He stepped onto the Incense and Candle Path, quickly returned home, found Qiao’Er, bathed, changed clothes, and then went to the dining hall of Prince Qing’s Mansion for a feast.

The cook continuously stir-fried, pot after pot of dishes, bucket after bucket of rice was brought to the table, and Li Xuan ate with great relish.

While eating, he also flipped through his panel.

[Demon Points: 27]

[Strength: 90/90]

[Agility: 90/90]

[Constitution: 109/109]

[Spirit: 64/90]

After some thought, without leaving his Demon Points idle, he directly spent 26 points to maximize his Spirit Attribute.

Originally, he needed the "Skull Flower," "Tiger Demon Tai Sui," and "Aberrant Ape" to reach 90 points, but now he achieved it directly.

This means that at this moment, his voice and writings would be incredibly persuasive, fully capable of impacting ordinary people with average Spiritual Power.

But as to how to impact them, since he had no Cultivation Technique, he could only rely on a completely unorthodox method.

While eating, he pondered over these miscellaneous matters.

For instance, he thought about visiting nearby prisons to see if there were any death row inmates for him to experiment on.

For instance, his Constitution Attribute was now his highest, and his blood bar already contained three "constitution-oriented demon bloods," namely "Rotting Buddha Corpse Rat," "Black Mountain Tuo," and "Ordinary Rhinoceros Spirit." The combined effect of these demon bloods amounted to a 170-point constitution boost. Adding his 109 constitution points, he intended to test if the total of 279 points could break through.

For instance, he wanted to take out the lamp oil left by the "Rotting Buddha Corpse Rat" for study, thinking through whether he could enhance his "divine Buddha characteristics."

At the same time, various questions were surfacing from the depths of his heart.

For instance, earlier his demonic Vajra had clearly burrowed into the Black Mountain Tuo’s belly and was about to pull out its intestines to eliminate it, but suddenly it vanished. Generally, the Black Mountain Tuo couldn’t have eradicated him so quickly. What happened?

For instance, when the Headless Buddha first appeared, it rained blood twice from the sky.

The Headless Buddha couldn’t summon wind and rain, which seemed like Black Mountain Tuo’s doing.

But how was it possible?

And for instance, why was the Headless Buddha without a head? Why did the "Rotting Buddha Corpse Rat" use lamp oil to shape a headless form and search for a head?

Just as he was contemplating, his woman hurriedly arrived.

The expectant Tian Yuan and Little Princess sat opposite him.

"Where did you go?" asked the Little Princess.

Tian Yuan giggled, "I said it, didn’t I? You care more about him."

"No, I don’t!" said the Little Princess.

"Yes, you do," Tian Yuan replied.

Li Xuan, eating, casually said, "Just wandering around outside."

"Wandering? You have two such beautiful wives at home; how dare you?" Little Princess, accustomed to being straightforward, recently always looked for trouble with Li Xuan, for reasons unknown.

Li Xuan, having suppressed his feelings for a long time, heard his wife mention "beautiful wives at home," and his gaze swept over Tian Yuan and the Little Princess’s graceful figures. There was a charm to them distinct from girlhood now that they were expectant mothers, and his heart suddenly surged with heat.

He looked at the Little Princess with burning eyes.

In the past, the Little Princess would have immediately run off.

But at this moment, instead of fleeing, she suddenly felt an itch in her heart, the desire to close the door and let the man before her do as he wished.

Her breathing quickened, and her delicate face revealed a sense of yearning.

"What’s wrong with you two?" Tian Yuan noticed the strange atmosphere.

Li Xuan also sensed something was amiss.

Suddenly, the Little Princess cooed, "Husband..."

The voice was sweet.

Li Xuan: ???

Tian Yuan: ???

The sound was as captivating as a cat in heat calling in spring.

Yet critically, the Little Princess had never addressed Li Xuan like this before.

Moreover, Li Xuan hadn’t done anything particularly touching for her.

One moment she was like a willful young lady questioning him, the next she appeared like this.

Li Xuan glanced at the sky and said, "It’s already evening."

"Mm." The Little Princess answered again coyly, her face flushed, as if drunk.
