I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

"Hmm?"

As An Luping began to emit meaningless laughter, his face displaying utter foolishness, Xue Jing was slightly taken aback.

"The old man's mental endurance is really weak."

He shook his head, having intended to ask An Luping about the Dragon Cult, to see if he could get information about their location or the like, and then snuff them out.

But seeing An Luping's current state, even if cured, he would still drool, so never mind.

Xue Jing stepped forward, reaching out with his right hand to grasp An Luping's neck and lift him high.

Dark Flame surged wildly from his hand, engulfing An Luping completely, blazing intensely. An's body began to undergo the process of Annihilation at a pace visible to the naked eye, as if an invisible eraser was rubbing his flesh away.

The Heretic God worshipped by the Dragon Cult is the "Infinity Dragon" - Ananda Tashasha. Though they call it a dragon, it actually seems more like a serpent... At least the Dragon Cult members Xue Jing had encountered so far had abilities more related to snakes.

And when it comes to snakes, the most representative symbol is "Immortality."

In almost every myth, snakes are associated with immortality.

The enemies that Xue Jing had encountered so far were like cockroaches that couldn't be killed... Some even seemed to have abilities that felt more impressive than his own "Twin Lifes" and "Shadow Transform", brimming with talent.

An Luping's eyes didn't look normal, clearly there was an issue, probably a result of the Dragon Cult's gifting ceremony or some kind of human modification, so it was better to be thorough in disposing of him.

Once Shadow Flame was released, everything would be Annihilated, leaving no trace behind.

It wasn't until he had completely Annihilated An Luping, not even a speck of ash remaining, that Xue Jing looked at the residence where Yun Qin was held. He chose not to immediately enter and rescue her.

Instead, he took out his phone and dialed Ning Yuantai's number.

The phone barely started buzzing when it was answered at lightning speed.

"Xue, what can I do for you?"

Ning Yuantai's respectful voice came from the receiver.

He had long since set Xue Jing's number as a special ringtone, and so far, Xue Jing's calls to him were always picked up instantly, without exception.

"Yuantai, you're free right now, right? Here's the thing..."

...

Pocketing his phone, Xue Jing stood quietly on the side of the road, waiting. Enjoy new adventures from empire

Compared to rescuing Yun Qin himself, it seemed better to let Miao Miao come to pick up her own maid.

He had thought about going back to get Miao Miao himself, but then felt uneasy, worrying that something might happen to Yun Qin if he left. So, he made the call, asking Ning Yuantai to bring Miao Miao over while he stood guard here.

He didn't have to wait long.

The rumble of an off-road vehicle gradually ceased in front of the house.

Before the car door could open, Miao Miao leapt out of the window and flew towards Xue Jing, who was waiting at the corner.

"Jing."

In front of Ning Yuantai, she didn't bother to pretend and spoke human language.

Her delicate, almost flirtatiously charming feline face was filled with anthropomorphic emotion, her emerald pupils shining moistly.

Xue Jing caught Miao Miao, cradling her in his arms like a baby, with one hand supporting her bottom and the other her back, and chuckled,

"What's the matter, Teacher Wan, looking like you've been successfully wooed?"

At his words, Miao Miao snorted lightly, turned her head aside, but didn't respond.

Ning Yuantai got out of the car, stroked his chin thoughtfully upon seeing this scene. Could this be the one wearing the Cat Tail Ring... perhaps Xue?

"Yuantai, I've troubled you again this time."

Xue Jing patted Ning Yuantai's shoulder, thanking him.

"Look at what you're saying, you're making it sound so formal. It's just a little favor," Ning Yuantai said, clearly delighted.

He thought that this way, Xue would gradually get used to asking him for help.

Wouldn't that make him the undisputed right-hand man to Xue?

Unaware of the various thoughts running through Ning Yuantai's mind, Xue Jing entered the house, still holding Miao Miao in his arms.

Inside the room, he pointed towards the carpeted and concealed entrance to the basement and smiled,

"Yun Qin is down there."

Miao Miao looked up at Jing's chin, hesitated, and asked,

"Jing, where is Priest An?"

Upon hearing the question, Xue Jing pondered a moment before replying, "I killed him."

Miao Miao sighed, "I see..."

"Feeling a bit sentimental?" Xue Jing asked softly.

After all, An had been part of the same organization; there might still be some feelings, right?

Miao Miao shook her head, "No... just that someone I used to see often is suddenly gone, and it feels strange."

She jumped from Xue Jing's arms and used her claw to hook the carpet on the floor, revealing it.

A metallic, handle-locked entrance to the basement was exposed.

Xue Jing stepped forward and crouched down, grabbed the handle, unlocked it, and lifted it.

"Clang—"

A dull sound echoed as the basement entrance was opened.

"Go ahead," Xue Jing said softly.

Miao Miao nodded and jumped down.

Xue Jing followed closely behind.

...

In the brightly lit room, a little girl lay bored on the sofa, intermittently reaching for the chips on the table while watching TV and occasionally grabbing her soda to take a swig, letting out a "ha" of satisfaction.

When Miao Miao and Xue Jing entered, they saw this scene and were momentarily stunned.

The little girl, who had heard the sound of the basement entrance opening, thought it was An Luping and didn't pay it any attention, not even bothering to look back.
