Chu Ruoxuan's face instantly showed a terrified expression upon hearing this.
Seeing his appearance, Mu Qingqing couldn't help but let out a chuckle: "Hehe... Dean, you shouldn't tease him anymore."
Tease?
What does that mean?
Are you guys playing me?!
Chu Ruoxuan was in a daze.
"You little girl, how dare you say that? It was you who locked this Spirit Binding Ring on him. Besides, that old fellow Shen Wei, he refused to lend me money no matter how much I begged. What's wrong with me teasing his disciple?" Dao Yuanming retorted irritably.
Chu Ruoxuan was confused again. He looked at Mu Qingqing and thought, "Isn't this a guy? Why is this old man calling him a little girl?"
Then he turned his gaze back to Dao Yuanming. After taking a clear look, Chu Ruoxuan finally recognized Dao Yuanming and his eyes widened in surprise, exclaiming, "Senior Dao Huang!"
"You brat, you finally recognize me!" Dao Yuanming said with a laugh.
Looking at his happy demeanor, it seemed as if he was still in the moment of having pranked Chu Ruoxuan.
Chu Ruoxuan instantly understood. It turned out Senior Dao Huang had saved him.
No wonder he could save him when the Mo Tuo went berserk.
However, what puzzled him was why the Mo Tuo within him had suddenly gone berserk.
He had clearly controlled his emotions and hadn't become enraged.
Suddenly, Chu Ruoxuan noticed a tear in the clothes at his waist, with a faint trace of blood.
A wispy black aura was also emerging from the wound.
"This is a wound left by the Netherworld Claw!"
Chu Ruoxuan understood. This was his senior brother Yan Gu's doing. No wonder he had suddenly lost control of the Mo Tuo.
It was likely that the Netherworld Claw came from the Nether God race, otherwise it wouldn't have so easily triggered the Mo Tuo's rampage.
Chu Ruoxuan wanted to circulate his True Essence to expel these black energies from his body, but due to the Spirit Binding Ring, he couldn't mobilize even a trace of True Essence.
However, thanks to this Spirit Binding Ring, the Mo Tuo within him could not rampage again.
"Speaking of which, little girl, where did you get the Spirit Binding Ring?" Dao Yuanming asked Mu Qingqing.
Mu Qingqing smiled slightly and explained, "I secretly collected a few from the Jingchenhao merchant ship before."
"Why did you collect these things? Are you looking for slaves for yourself? Aren't you afraid that Xin Ci will get angry?" Dao Yuanming asked, puzzled.
Xin Ci, who was in the consciousness space, suddenly felt a jolt upon hearing this.
Mu Qingqing gave Dao Yuanming a speechless look and said, "Dean, what are you thinking? This thing has many uses. Look, this guy has a Spirit Binding Ring locked on his neck, and the Mo Tuo can't get out." Kuai Shu Ge
"That's true, but this Spirit Binding Ring cannot completely seal that Mo Tuo. Once this brat or the Mo Tuo's power reaches Saint Emperor, this Spirit Binding Ring will be useless," Dao Yuanming said, shaking his head.
Ever since the demonic soul had been integrated into Chu Ruoxuan's body, he had also considered using True Artifacts similar to Spirit Binding Rings to suppress the Mo Tuo.
However, this would also suppress his cultivation, turning him into an ordinary person who couldn't use True Essence.
Having finally become a disciple of Emperor Ming, he didn't want his True Essence cultivation to stagnate.
Thinking of this, Chu Ruoxuan fell into silence.
Only his master, Emperor Ming, knew about the matter of the Mo Tuo. Now, Senior Dao Huang and the boy next to him, who seemed to be his disciple, also knew about it.
Senior Dao Huang might not be a concern, as he had a good relationship with Master Emperor Ming.
But the current boy was different.
Demonic weapon users had always been regarded as evil beings, and he would likely look at him with unusual eyes.
However, when Chu Ruoxuan looked up at Mu Qingqing, he found her staring at him with sparkling eyes.
Judging by her expression, she seemed very interested in the matter of the Mo Tuo.
Mu Qingqing, with an excited look, rubbed her hands together and said with shining eyes, "How did you get that Mo Tuo? It's so cool! I want one too!"
Chu Ruoxuan: "..."
What the heck?!
Chu Ruoxuan was utterly bewildered by the boy in front of him.
Dao Yuanming, who was drinking water, almost choked to death, performing a fountain of water on the spot.
Without even wiping his mouth, he just stared at Mu Qingqing with wide, unblinking eyes, exclaiming in shock, "Little girl, do you know what you're saying?! That Mo Tuo is a Nether God's demonic soul! Do you also want to become a demonic weapon user?!"
"You can't joke about this! Besides, becoming a demon is very ugly. Are you sure you want to be a demon?!"
But Mu Qingqing replied nonchalantly, "Come on, it's super cool. Having a demonic soul like the Mo Tuo behind you is like having a guardian spirit or a stand. You can just stand there and let the demonic soul behind you do the fighting. That's totally awesome..."
Mu Qingqing became more and more excited, her eyes twinkling.
Looking at her, she resembled a fangirl chasing after her idol.
However, she was speaking in Xin Ci's body, which made it more like a fangirl-boy.
Chu Ruoxuan and Dao Yuanming were both stunned by Mu Qingqing's words.
Although they didn't understand what Mu Qingqing meant by guardian spirit and stand, they could tell that this guy genuinely wanted a demonic soul.
Chu Ruoxuan looked at Mu Qingqing in disbelief and thought, "Is this guy joking? How could anyone want to become a demonic weapon user?!"
Demonic weapon users, in the later stages, became neither human nor ghost, and were detested by all living beings as demons.
Dao Yuanming also knew the dangers of demonic weapon users. His expression immediately turned serious as he wanted to dissuade Mu Qingqing and guide the little girl back to the right path.
"Little girl, demonic souls are not good things, and demonic weapon users are even less accepted by people," Dao Yuanming said earnestly.
Having spent some time together, Dao Yuanming quite liked this little girl. As the dean, he didn't want his students to go astray.
Chu Ruoxuan, already eroded by the demonic soul, knew the dangers of demonic souls firsthand. He also chimed in, "Brother, demonic souls are definitely not good things. As someone who has become a demonic weapon user, I have deep personal experience. You can't possibly understand this kind of pain!"
As the two of them tried their best to persuade her, Mu Qingqing tilted her head and asked doubtfully, "Who said you are a demonic weapon user?"
Chu Ruoxuan was stunned for a moment and then retorted excitedly, "Didn't you just see that ferocious Mo Tuo? I have a demonic soul implanted by the Nether God race, so naturally I am a demonic weapon user!"
As he spoke, Chu Ruoxuan couldn't help but get a little angry. Becoming a demonic weapon user was the most shameful thing for him.
But why was this boy in front of him saying these words to tease him?
Unexpectedly, Mu Qingqing retorted, "Who says having a demonic soul integrated means you are a demonic weapon user?"
Mu Qingqing's question caught Chu Ruoxuan and Dao Yuanming off guard for a moment.
Then, like curious children, they both asked in unison, "Isn't it?"
Mu Qingqing's previous question also greatly surprised Elder Han, who transmitted his voice in confusion, "Little girl, what did you mean by what you just said? Do you know the secret of demonic weapon users?"
