Chapter 15  : The Eldest Princess From the Painting

“Why are you here again?” The Deluge Dragon got a shock and started struggling violently. The chains binding its body rattled nosily and vehemently.

Xiao Ran opened the cell door and entered.

“Relax, don’t be so nervous. I mean no harm.”

“My… My vital energy hasn’t recovered yet. Can it be delayed for another two days?” The Deluge Dragon asked doubtfully.

“Your complexion is rosy and your aura is magnificent. Yet you said you have not recovered your vital energy?”

The Deluge Dragon was speechless.

Watching Xiao Ran take out the dagger and the container, he knew that there was no way he could escape today. He decided to try his luck at getting something out of a hopeless situation. “At least let me eat something before you make a move, right?”

“Dream on! You’re in jail, not on vacation,” Xiao Ran said.

With a practiced stroke he made a cut on the wound in the dragon’s limb. The dragon blood oozed out and flowed into the container.

“Your bloodline has become purer again?”

The Deluge Dragon expression changed drastically as he shook his head in denial. “No it did not.”

After filling two bottles to the brim, the dragon became weak again. His aura became debilitated, becoming extremely feeble. Only then did Xiao Ran stop.

“The next time I come, I’ll try to bring you something, depending on the situation,” Xiao Ran said.

He locked the cell door and left.

“Ah! I’ve had enough of this…” The Deluge Dragon roared furiously.

He passed by cell number 1.

He looked in at the Eldest Princess, sitting there calmly and resting with her eyes closed. It was as if she sensed his presence. Her eyes snapped open and glared at Xiao Ran who was standing outside the cell. The memory of him straddling over her body and brutally beating her up came flooding into her mind.

She was grinding her silver teeth in fury. She wanted to punch him back, but she knew she was no match for him.

“What are you looking at?” Xiao Ran asked.

“Hmph!” The Eldest Princess snorted coldly and shut her eyes again.

Xiao Ran shrugged and left, humming a little merry tune.

“Roar!” An ancient beast-like roar issued from her mouth.

Billowing demonic energy surged out from her body, rushing madly towards her consciousness.

Even the surface of her body had a very thick layer of demonic aura.

The Golden Phoenix rushed out, emanating a holy and purifying radiance. It tried its best to disperse the demonic energy, wanting to protect her. However, in the face of this terrifying demonic energy, its powers were too weak.

“Don’t go! Hurry up and hit me!” The Eldest Princess begged in anguish.

Xiao Ran stopped in his tracks and cast his Spiritual Clarity Eye over her.

Compared to last time, the demonic aura in her body had increased by one-third.

Demonic aura filled her body, poisoning her vital veins, blood, and flesh until they were pitch black.

“Has she been furtively practicing the Nine Heavens Evil Spirit Purification Skill all this while?” Xiao Ran thought on a hunch.

“I can’t take it anymore. I beg you to hurry up!” The Eldest Princess held her head with both hands. Her demonic flames were rampaged uncontrollably. Her demented aura blew her hair upwards until it formed a straight line.

Xiao Ran opened her cell door and entered.

The Eldest Princess took the initiative and lunged towards him. She grabbed Xiao Ran’s hand and begged, “Hit me, hurry up!”

“That’s not good, is it?”

“Do it!” The Eldest Princess couldn’t wait any longer.

Xiao Ran raised his hand and slammed it on her head. The demonic aura dissipated slightly and she regained some consciousness.

She grabbed his other hand and slapped it towards her.

“Hey! Did you get my permission to take my hand?” Xiao Ran was displeased.

“Use more force!” The Eldest Princess urged again.

“I don’t hit women,” Xiao Ran said.

“Ah…” The Eldest Princess’ expression turned malevolent. She gnashed her teeth in her wide open jaws, as if she was a ferocious beast that was about to swallow people whole.

She opened her mouth and bit him.

“Get lost!” Xiao Ran kicked her away.

He rushed forward and straddled over her body. He converged purifying spiritual force on his fist and punched her brutally.

After more than a hundred punches,

Xiao Ran stopped and the demonic aura around her disappeared completely.

She lay on the ground and gasped with relief.

“Get off.”

Xiao Ran stood up from her and took three steps back. Her swollen porcine face was extremely unpalatable.

“The demonic aura this time is worse than last time. Are you still practicing that forbidden technique?”

“How did you know?”

“It’s not hard to find out,” Xiao Ran said.

“No!” The Eldest Princess denied.

“Don’t ask me for help the next time the demonic aura erupts.”

He turned around and left. The Eldest Princess became frantic. If Xiao Ran didn’t agree to help, once the sequelae broke out again, she would definitely turn into a heinous monstrous demon and become a walking corpse.

She stood in front of him. “No!”

Xiao Ran folded his arms and stared at her in a quizzical fashion.

The Eldest Princess gritted her teeth. After thinking for a while, she decided to tell the truth. “This Forbidden Technique is very deviant. Once you start practicing it, you won’t be able to stop. It will operate on its own for 24 hours a day.”

“Wasn’t your shoulder bone sealed?”

“Don’t ask me. I don’t know either.” The Eldest Princess shook her head.

“I’m very busy. I can’t always be by your side, right?”

“I’ll let them promote you.”

Seeing that Xiao Ran had no reaction, the Eldest Princess thought about it and understood. How could an extraordinary person like him be interested in rank and file official positions?

If she were to use this kind of debase worldly method, it would probably be a slap to his face.

“What do you want?”

“Anything?” Xiao Ran asked.

“No!” The Eldest Princess took a step back, maintaining her guard.

“What are you doing?”

“You want me to keep you company, isn’t it?”

Deep creases appeared on Xiao Ran’s forehead as he said in an unpleasant tone, “I’m a decent person.”

“If you want me to help you, you have to promise me something.” Xiao Ran added.

“Let me hear it!”

“With you as the model, let me draw you,” Xiao Ran said.

“That’s it?”

“Yeah.”

“Alright! I agree.” The Eldest Princess agreed.

Xiao Ran was quick to find some ink and paper.

“You look very ugly right now. Let me help you reduce the swelling first,” Xiao Ran said.

A stream of purifying spiritual force was injected into her face. After several breaths, she regained her original state.

“Stand by the side.”

The Eldest Princess walked over and stood by the wall.

Xiao Ran was about to draw with the brush when he remembered that he still had two bottles of dragon blood on him. He took out a bottle and poured some of it onto a dish. He then dipped the tip of the pen in some dragon blood and began drawing on the paper.

His Genesis Level painting skill was close to the state of Nirvana.

It was done in one go.

He put away the brush and admired the figure in the painting who looked exactly like her. It was a painting full of graceful charm.

Picking up the painting, a golden light shot out and scattered in the air. Amazingly, the figure in the painting walked out.

“This, this…” The Eldest Princess was dumbstruck.

“Retrieve.” Xiao Ran summoned back the figure and rolled up the painting.

The Eldest Princess walked up to him and made one round examining him closely, as if she wanted to see through him.

“What?”

“The painting you just casually produced is able to unleash the full strength of a Master Realm Level 1 punch?”

“Is that strange?” Xiao Ran asked.

“What level is your painting skill?”

“You want to know? I’m not telling you!” Xiao Ran turned around and left.

After leaving the Purgatory,

Xiao Ran entered the rest chamber.

After drinking the two bottles of dragon blood, his physical body grew stronger once more, making him comparable to Master Realm Warriors.

He took out a brush and paper and started drawing again.

This time, he drew a young monk and a line of words, “Demon, I want you to help me evolve my skills.”

After producing three paintings, a dungeon guard could be heard knocking on the door.

“Brother Xiao, are you there?”

Xiao Ran put the paintings away and opened the door to go out.

“Something wrong?”

The dungeon guard stuffed ten taels of silver into Xiao Ran’s hands with an ingratiating look on his face. “My Lord asked me to lock a Master Realm Level 10 demon in a cell on the ninth floor.”
