Chapter 3
Fortunately, Huo Yao was notorious for his killings, and Xie Zuo was entangled with him like a fox with a tiger. Along the way, all the demons they encountered fled in all directions, and they entered Xie Zuo’s lair without any danger.
The so-called nest was actually Xie Zuo hollowing out an entire mountain, building himself a spacious and comfortable residence. When he didn’t need to be tortured, he would come back here to practice hard.
The blood mist in the abyss was thick, full of evil thoughts, malice, and hatred. If ordinary demons and ghosts got a little bit of it, they would instantly turn into blood. The evil spirits suppressed here would be eroded by the blood mist over time, slowly turning into flesh and soul, becoming part of the blood mist.
Naturally, Xie Zuo didn’t want to be corroded to pieces early. He still wanted to go out, destroy heaven and earth, so he wouldn’t hang around outside if he had nothing to do.
As soon as he passed the barrier arranged by Xie Zuo, Huo Yao fell to the ground.
Xie Zuo was still wrapped around his waist, pressing his face down. He twisted hard to push away Huo Yao. He let go of him and was about to run away, but Huo Yao held the tip of his tail down.
“Want to run?”
Xie Zuo struggled hard but did not break away. “Why do you want, Great Deity of Thunder? It’s already safe here. Why don’t you rest and recover your power? Why are you arresting me?” Huo Yao pulled Xie Zuo away bit by bit.
After dragging him back, he sat up and said, “You haven’t received the thunder punishment today yet.”
With only half a breath left, he still had to undergo the thunder punishment. This guy’s heart was more vicious than a demon! Xie Zuo became angry and turned to bite Huo Yao’s neck.
As the fangs cut into the flesh and tasted blood, Xie Zuo was shocked: Huo Yao didn’t avoid it; so, he drank his blood happily!
It smelled good, tasted good, and the warm blood didn’t sting at all.
Xie Zuo seemed to have drunk some exquisite wine, becoming drunk in one sip.
He breathed rapidly, fangs digging deeper and deeper, wanting more.
Huo Yao couldn’t shake off Xie Zuo, who was greedily sucking blood on his neck for a moment, and shouted angrily: “Get away!”
A piece of bright yellow paper emerged from the palm of his hand, and there was a flash of lightning inside the yellow paper.
Although he had lost all his magical power, he could still use spells. Xie Zuo, this evil beast, was really determined to not change his ways. He must make him look good today!
Xie Zuo sensed the danger in time, but it was already too late…
“Pa—!”
Huo Yao slapped the yellow paper heavily on Xie Zuo’s head.
“Crack–”
There was a chaotic sound, and thunder and lightning surrounded Xie Zuo, dragging him away into the air to form a cage. Several thunder and lightning strikes hit him fiercely and quickly in the cage.
Xie Zuo was like a grasshopper thrown out of a frying pan, twisting, bouncing, and roaring crazily inside the cage until his skin and flesh were charred black.
After a while, the thunder torture finally ended.
“You don’t know whether to live or die.” Huo Yao snorted coldly, picked up Xie Zuo, who had more air coming out than taking in, roughly tied him into a knot, and dragged him backwards into the depths of the lair.
.
Xie Zuo suffered a terrible death. When he was dying, he felt Huo Yao sweep his lair, and then completely lost consciousness.
Seeing that Xie Zuo was completely exhausted, Huo Yao threw him aside, sat on the floor, and began to meditate to restore his divine power.
After a while, Huo Yao opened his eyes and frowned slightly. He raised his head and touched the side of his neck, feeling two deep bite marks and a hand full of blood.
The wound didn’t heal? This evil beast was really poisonous all over his body!
The trouble was not the wound. Huo Yao felt his mouth was dry, and his blood was surging. He couldn’t calm down and meditate at all.
This had never happened before. As the Great Thunder Deity in charge of heavenly punishment, he had always been calm and self-possessed, with a heart as stubborn as stone.
No matter what situation he faced, he never loses his mind. How could it be… This situation couldn’t be repaired at all, forcibly?
He was afraid that he would go crazy if he mobilized his divine power. Huo Yao stopped decisively and leaned against the wall with his eyes closed to rest, waiting for his body to slowly eliminate the venom left by Xie Zuo.
Huo Yao could not help but replay the previous scene in his mind. When he was holding a spear and almost stabbing Xie Zuo’s forehead, he could faintly see the face of a young man through his ugly snake head.
The young man’s eyes were as bright as sun, his face was like a plum, and he had a pair of long, curved eyebrows. He had an appearance that made people fall in love with him at first sight.
That face was actually 50 or 60% similar to the person in his memory, further confirming Huo Yao’s previous conjecture.
Huo Yao sighed silently, feeling that the remaining poison in his body had been cleared, and was about to continue meditating when he suddenly saw Xie Zuo twitching.
Even in a coma, Xie Zuo was regretting it. If he had known earlier, he should not have provoked Huo Yao. It was not like he had not personally experienced the power of the thunder, so the hard end was to find fault for himself.
He fell asleep in the middle of the night and was awakened by a divine power flowing through his body.
At first, Xie Zuo thought he couldn’t digest the divine blood after drinking it, but he soon realized that the divine power was friendly to him. It not only repaired his internal injuries but also helped him transform!
The thick snake skin began to crack from his head, and Xie Zuo’s newly formed body struggled in the gradually loosening snake skin. The cracks became wider, and his head popped out, followed by two arms.
It was easier with his hands. Xie Zuo tore open the snake skin wrapped around his body, and his whole body emerged, wet from the snake skin.
Huo Yao watched the entire process. Xie Zuo shed his ugly snake skin and transformed into a tall and slender young man.
The humanoid Xie Zuo’s skin was as white and bright as moonlight, his hair thick and soft, his muscles firm, his bones excellent, and his whole person exuded a holy beauty.
However, when he raised his head, a pair of blood-red eyes filled with an evil nature met Huo Yao’s gaze, intertwining divine beauty with a thrilling aura that made it difficult to look directly at him.
One more look, and it seemed one might go crazy.
Xie Zuo licked his lips and gazed at Huo Yao greedily. Darling, just by sucking a few mouthfuls of his blood, he transformed into a human body without any pain.
If he ate a piece of Huo Yao’s flesh, wouldn’t he ascend to the sky immediately?
At this moment, Huo Yao didn’t dare to look directly at Xie Zuo. With most of his divine power restored, he returned to his former appearance with phoenix wings, a golden helmet, brocade robe, and golden armor.
Seeing Xie Zuo dangling naked, he took off the cloak from his shoulders and threw it to Xie Zuo. “Now that you’ve cultivated into a human body, learn the rules of being a good person.”
The cloak fell on Xie Zuo and automatically turned into a set of black robes with narrow sleeves and high splits.
Xie Zuo blinked, opened his arms, and turned around, admiring his new clothes. “What rules? Is wearing clothes a mortal rule? This dress is so ugly, it’s too tight.”
After that, he pulled it loose, removing the collar and exposing his entire white and slender neck, feeling much more comfortable.
Xie Zuo compared his and Huo Yao’s clothes again, raised one foot, and said, “Where are the shoes?”
Huo Yao ignored him.
Xie Zuo came closer, raised his head, lowered his head, and looked at Huo Yao from head to toe.
The gaze was so wanton that Huo Yao had the illusion of being licked by the long tongue of a big snake.
Huo Yao turned around to leave, but Xie Zuo grabbed his arm. “Great Thunder Deity, how about dual cultivation with me?”
