Lu Ren stood at the edge of Niu Genshan, shook the dirt off his little feet, and then casually said, "Niu Genshan, I didn’t provoke you, why did you attack me?"
It took a deep breath, the demonic power circulating within finally allowed it to breathe, full of weakness, it said, "I just wanted to help you up."
Lu Ren’s indifferent expression paused slightly for a moment, then calmly said, "Don’t you know that at our level of strength, approaching someone easily is a signal for battle?"
Niu Genshan snorted, "You’re confident, whatever you say is right."
"As a demon, why are you in contact with that Erwa?"
Niu Genshan gave Lu Ren a strange look, "She’s a little demon, why can’t I contact her?"
Lu Ren raised an eyebrow. He had personally checked the bones and was certain that Erwa was not a demon. Logically, with Erwa’s pure flesh and single divine soul, she should be a delicacy in these demons’ eyes, eating her would be highly beneficial.
For those evil cultivators who manipulate divine souls, with Erwa’s purity of spirit, they could refine a quite good puppet.
And this Niu Genshan, although it lacked a murderous aura, and wasn’t tainted by any slaughters, its intentions were very impure.
Lu Ren leisurely said, "A mud doll, why do you come over every month, even sealing her under this Taihang Mountain intentionally or unintentionally? What’s your intention?"
These days, Erwa’s mouth kept babbling, besides talking about some interesting animals she encountered while hunting in the forest, she talked most about this Niu Genshan.
Niu Genshan moved its four hooves, trying to stand up when Lu Ren lifted his little foot, pressing it on the top of Niu Genshan’s head.
In an instant, Niu Genshan felt as if a mountain was pressing down on its head, making it hard to move its body.
Niu Genshan couldn’t help but exhale a long breath, a stream of white mist spewing from its nose.
Feeling Lu Ren increasing the pressure under his foot, almost crushing its skull.
If what it said didn’t satisfy Lu Ren, it was doomed.
The thought of Niu Genshan’s current predicament made it anxious; it had been cultivating for nearly two hundred years just to begin forming, and because of its age, even if it transformed it would just be an old man; if it didn’t come up with a solution, it truly would die of old age.
"I said, it’s the Great Demon Li Mountain inside Taihang Mountain who took a fancy to Erwa, keeping her here for himself, I’m just a shepherd!"
Lu Ren’s gaze flashed, "That Great Demon Li Mountain, what are its origins?"
"It’s a transformed black snake. It reportedly saw Erwa and believed she was destined to be its future companion, so it specially ordered me, Old Niu, to supervise her. After Erwa turns sixteen, she’ll be delivered to it."
Niu Genshan appeared humble and submissive, but Lu Ren was skeptical, "How many people has that black snake said this to?"
"Uh, as far as I know, there have been over three hundred."
Oh well, this darn thing isn’t a black snake at all, it’s entirely a lecherous snake.
Lu Ren’s expression remained calm, and when Niu Genshan saw Lu Ren deep in thought, it hurriedly spoke, "I have to report every month, if I die and don’t report on time, that Demon King Li Mountain will definitely send someone to investigate."
Lu Ren sighed, "Why."
Niu Genshan seemed puzzled, "Sir, what do you mean why?"
"I just wanted to find a place to rest and recuperate peacefully, why are there always people wanting to harm me?"
Niu Genshan became more cautious, seeing Lu Ren’s long sigh, couldn’t help but say, "Sir, it’s not to victimize you, it’s just interest in little girl Erwa, not you. The Demon King is not interested in men."
"...I understand, but I live here."
This Old Niu couldn’t speak properly.
Lu Ren raised his hand, the Ten Lands True Scripture operating, the Ten Earth True Qi encompassed a strand of his spiritual imprint, gathered at his fingertip, forming a small grain-like golden light particle.
Niu Genshan’s cow eyes widened immediately, it clearly sensed the terrifying power contained within this light particle.
It could guarantee, if this golden particle exploded suddenly, it would definitely blast it to pieces.
Struck a hard surface!
Lu Ren flicked the light particle with his fingertip, morphing into a thread of light that shot into Niu Genshan’s forehead.
Lu Ren said indifferently, "This thing should support your activities within a hundred miles radius of me, but if you run too far, it will explode."
"Should?" Niu Genshan was somewhat puzzled.
"Well, because it’s my first time using it, I’m not sure if it truly supports within a hundred miles, maybe it contracts, maybe it exceeds, you can test it."
Niu Genshan angrily cursed internally, but outwardly nodded, looking honest and sincere, "Sir, whatever you say."
Lu Ren didn’t care about Niu Genshan’s thoughts, if he wanted not to alarm that so-called Demon King Li Mountain, then controlling Niu Genshan was the optimal solution. This was the Buddha Seed Technique from the Real Buddha’s True Scripture, strictly speaking, a shortcut to lure one into the Buddhist Sect.
But in Lu Ren’s hands, it wasn’t like that; in his view, planting Buddha seeds in someone, the person’s life would be thoroughly controlled, it’s the most cruel, most extreme method of control.
Yet in the Real Buddha’s True Scripture, it’s described as high and mighty, making him scoff.
Lu Ren withdrew his foot, letting Niu Genshan honestly stand up in a manner suggesting complete obedience, although unaware of its thoughts, given this level, it’s unlike ordinary people, who can’t hide their feelings and thoughts from spreading.
But overall, its performance was satisfactory to Lu Ren, so he didn’t say much more, except a few intimidation remarks.
Lu Ren coldly said, "Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking, the seed is planted in your Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness, if I sense any bad thoughts, I’ll blow your head up and feast on a full beef banquet."
Niu Genshan immediately became silent as a cicada, focusing all efforts to suppress thoughts, not daring to think more.
After having Niu Genshan find several sets of clothes from the outside, along with books about local customs and ordinary knowledge to pass the time, it obediently left.
Seeing Niu Genshan’s four hooves staggering with every step, Lu Ren shook his head slightly, withdrew his gaze and ignored it.
That fool was just acting for him.
Once Lu Ren leisurely returned to the wooden house, and Niu Genshan confirmed Lu Ren wasn’t watching anymore, its four hooves suddenly flew, darting away like fleeing, rapidly leaving the place.
Lu Ren smirked, not saying more, with a slight mental movement, as Niu Genshan galloped over ten miles away, feeling as if it could fly high with birds and swim far with fish, it suddenly felt a sharp pain in its forehead. Content orıginally comes from novelFɪre.net
