Chapter 89.3

In terms of the tour’s main task, Wei Xun had obtained the coat of arms of the Golden-Winged Great Peng and the Golden-Winged Great Peng’s crown. However, there were still three items missing. Wei Xun was sure that there was nothing missing from the Xiangxiong ruins, so he could only wait until the tour group arrived at the other two scenic spots.

As for the branch scenic spot task, the progress of the task was at 80%, and the items to be handed to Xiaolin Temple were the purified thangka that had been possessed by the devil and the devil’s remnants, both of which were in Wei Xun’s hands.

The most rewarding prop he had gotten from the exploration of the ruins were at the nine-storey crystal tower ruins. In total, Wei Xun tabulated he had gotten the following props: the nine black ore slabs that recorded historical events, the iron tree the height of an average human from the legends, the rust-red liquid which filled up half of a small golden box and had the function of attracting the black-haired human skins and turns them into insect food, the fungi pile that could catalyze the production of black haired human skins and an arctic wolf king’s skull that can cause [A Wild Beast’s Psyche]’s ability to be triggered.

During the excursion this time, the young fox was most worthy of praise! Wei Xun had ordered it to go back during the earthquake, and the young fox had immediately snagged two pure crystal stones the size of a tabletop and a few smaller crystal blocks, filling its belly so much that it couldn’t hold anything else.

In addition, Wei Xun was also satisfied with the harvest he had obtained from the title task.

The task completion progress of the [Treasure Hunter] series titles had directly increased to 45%. As long as the progress bar grew by 5% more, the green title [Archeologist] could be upgraded to the blue title [Adventurer].

However, the completion rate of this task had stopped increasing when Wei Xun had descended to the fifth story of the crystal tower. Wei Xun guessed that it was because it was the same location, and there was an upper limit to the progress that could be increased per location.

The rest of the task progress had to be obtained outside the Xiangxiong ruins, in other locations.

Then there was the dark blue title of [Demonic Insect Dominator], and the matching exclusive title item, the Demonic Insect Ball. Now, Xiaojin, the three mantis brothers, and Xiaocui were resting in the Demonic Insect Ball. Although the number of Insect of Evil swarms had been reduced by nearly half after the earthquake, as long as more Insects of Evil were replenished later on, it would be fine.

As for the fungi on the fifth story of the crystal tower, Wei Xun was still figuring out what was the use of the fungi that Xiaocui constantly thought about, besides being able to “morph” the black-haired human skins. Wei Xun asked Xiaocui and learned that the fungus contained very powerful energy, and it might cause a kind of mutation in Xiaocui so that it could give birth to a swarm of demonic insects without having to mate with male insects.

After hearing this, Wei Xun felt that what it described was quite similar to parthenogenesis, which meant that eggs would hatch into new life normally without fertilization. There were many butterflies, moths, and other insects in nature that underwent parthenogenesis.

If Xiaocui could really evolve in that direction, it would be much more convenient in the future. However, every time the female insect mutated, it needed to form a cocoon again, and the time until it would hatch was uncertain. It might be a few hours, or it might be more than ten days. During this tour, Wei Xun still needed to use the swarm in many places, so it would be safer to push Xiaocui’s mutation back.

Apart from these two titles, what surprised Wei Xun most was the mysterious title task where everything was completely unknown.

[Task name: Dominate]

[Task description: Title task that is carried out in phases]

[Task reward: Unknown title]

[Task progress: 15%]

[Task tip: Observe more, more resentment]

Yes! It might be because the progress of the task had reached 15%, but there was now a task name and description! Previously, these were all “unknown”! Although it was still vague, it could be said to be a breakthrough in making progress on this task!

The name of this task was different from what Wei Xun had guessed it would be. He’d originally speculated that it was either a title related to observation or a title related to resentment and ghosts.

But now, the title task was named “Dominate,” which was really confusing. Even so, Wei Xun was looking forward to making progress in this task even more.

A title task that was carried out in phases…

When the progress of the Treasure Hunter series title reached 20%, Wei Xun had gotten the title of [Archaeologist]. Would this title task that would be carried out in phases be the same?

If this was the case, then with another 5% progress, he would be able to see how sacred this title task was.

Wei Xun thought it was very promising. After all, there were two more scenic spots, Xiaolin Temple and Siling Lake. The devil in Siling Lake alone was a big meal. Maybe Wei Xun couldn’t defeat or eat it now, but it wasn’t against the law to take a peek at the devil.

Just as Wei Xun was deliberating, he felt his hands sink. It turned out that the paw of the snow leopard was stacked onto his. Wei Xun held the snow leopard’s paw, and felt that its paw pad was extraordinarily thick. There were silverish-white furs between the toes and paws, like a Maine Coon cat’s paw enlarged by several sizes, and more powerful. The paw pad was black. Yes, it was very cute.

Although Xuefeng liked to clean itself, this was a wild environment, and the paw had stepped on all kinds of corpses. Wei Xun was bored, so he wiped the snow leopard’s paws with a disinfectant wipe, and even pressed on the tips of its paws to play with it.

The claws of snow leopards were like those of cats, and they were able to unsheathe them. The curved claws were extremely sharp, and they could easily tear apart their preys’ bodies, but at this moment they were quietly retracted. It allowed Wei Xun to play with its paws freely.

Many men worshiped guns, and they naturally liked things that represent strength and danger. For example, there were people who raised falcons, tigers, and brown bears in foreign countries, and undoubtedly, who was to say these people were obsessed with these ferocious and powerful beasts? Wei Xun was also a little fascinated. Seeing the snow leopard covering its head with its long fluffy tail, his hands itched to touch it.

The snow leopard’s tail was almost as long as its body. It was fluffy, and not only could it maintain balance while running and jumping on cliffs, it could also cover its legs and head with its tail when it was sleeping, like a warm blanket. Wei Xun grabbed the snow leopard’s long tail, wrapped it around his hand, and immediately felt like he was wearing a pair of natural silver plush gloves.

However, even after being harassed like this, the snow leopard still didn’t even move its eyelids, as if it had fallen asleep, breathing steadily. Once Wei Xun wiped the snow leopard’s paws, he combed its fur again. After the snow leopard was cleaned and its silver fur was fluffy and beautiful, he moved his hands aside and felt a sense of accomplishment. Finally, he was sleepy. Wei Xun yawned, closed his eyes and dozed off.

This sleep lasted until the evening of the next day.

“Bingbing, don’t make trouble.”

In a daze, Wei Xun felt a fluffy heat source approaching him, and seemed to smell it. Something rustling licked his fingers, and it felt a little itchy. Wei Xun subconsciously thought it was his Maine Coon cat, Bingbing, that he raised at home. It got hungry when it woke up early, and that was how it usually woke Wei Xun up.

But at this time, Wei Xun’s eyelids were extra heavy, and his consciousness seemed to be sticky like glue. He wanted to wake up, but couldn’t open his eyes. Soon, he fell into a drowsy sleep, and his consciousness fell into darkness in an instant.

‘Master, Master.

‘Master.’

That was, until the slightly anxious calls of the fox cub awakened Wei Xun from his drowsiness.

‘Master, wake up and replenish your Yang Energy!

Wei Xun’s eyelids felt warm, and hot breath spewed on his face. The distance between that creature and him was too close, so Wei Xun subconsciously avoided it, but his body was pressed by a heavy object, unable to move.

How long have I been asleep?

Wei Xun finally woke up and opened his eyes. He saw a glimmer of dusk shining through the tent and intruding in. Under the dim light, Wei Xun saw the snow leopard pressing on his body, its animal eyes staring at his face seriously. It huffed a little, as if it was confirming whether he was alive or not.

It had been a day and a night!

No wonder the snow leopard was so nervous.

Wei Xun’s body felt heavy and he felt a little weak. The fox cub babbled in his ears about the dangers of the lack of Yang Energy. They could range from erectile dysfunction to not waking up from sleep. Wei Xun had slept for a day and a night. Apart from being physically exhausted, he also lacked Yang Energy and had no strength.

Of course, there were people who were physically strong and resilient, and their Yang Energy would recover after a night of rest. However, some people were physically weak, like Wei Xun, who’d slept for a day and a night, but felt that he had gotten worse.

“Okay, okay, I’m fine.”

Currently, the young fox was conscientiously educating Wei Xun, while Wei Xun was rejecting the snow leopard’s worried licking and sniffing. The spikes on the snow leopard’s tongue were dense, and with just a lick, it could lick one’s flesh off one’s bones. Wei Xun’s exposed skin was all reddened, so obviously the snow leopard had worked very hard to wake up the unconscious Wei Xun.

Wei Xun hugged the snow leopard’s upper body comfortingly, stroking its back with one hand and entwining his fingers into its thick silver fur, while holding the snow leopard’s paw with his other hand. Under the cover of its body, Wei Xun quickly inhaled some Yang Energy with the demonic mosquito mouthpiece.

“Hiss.”

Wei Xun was scalded, so he sucked in a few breaths of cold air.

What happened? This blood, no, why is this Yang Energy hotter than the first time I sucked it?

Soon, Wei Xun realized that it wasn’t that the snow leopard’s Yang Energy was stronger, but that his own reaction was wrong. Unable to control his body, Wei Xun buried his face in the thick fur on the snow leopard’s chest and breathed in deeply. His whole body was burning hot. The mouthful of Yang Energy was like a drop of magma falling into ice water, causing the water to immediately boil up.

Wei Xun’s body trembled slightly. Fortunately, the snow leopard was big enough to cover him almost completely, so that the audience in the livestream room would not notice the abnormality. However, Wei Xun felt that his state was a bit out of control at the moment. He originally wanted to inhale a little Yang Energy, but when Wei Xun came back to his senses and forced himself to retract the demonic mosquito mouthpiece, he had already inhaled Yang Energy for five seconds.

Would the snow leopard be sucked dry by him!

Feeling that his brain was burning, Wei Xun couldn’t think more. He seemed to be soaked in a hot spring for some time, and he couldn’t lift his body. This feeling was different from the drowsiness he experienced due to the lack of Yang Energy, which was a combination of being tired, sleepy, and too weak. But now, Wei Xun felt that he was extremely excited, and his bones were itchy. Only when he came into contact with the snow leopard did the feeling go slightly dormant.

Wei Xun’s pale cheeks were blushing, his mouth was slightly open, and the breath he exhaled was all hot. When the snow leopard sniffed him again, Wei Xun didn’t avoid it, but went up to it, sniffing the snow leopard in a similarly beast-like manner.

Wei Xun’s reaction made the snow leopard excited, and its aura clearly changed. Slightly irritable, it grabbed the collar of Wei Xun’s jacket and tore it, showing a slight ferocity. However, Wei Xun didn’t dodge it, and he even turned his head in cooperation, as if deliberately showing the pale skin on the back of his neck to the snow leopard.

What’s going on, something isn’t right.

Although his body was as weak as if he had a high fever, and his hands and feet were limp, Wei Xun’s consciousness was exceptionally clear. He obviously felt the changes in his body, but Wei Xun was sure that he didn’t have any special perverted obsession with snow leopards.

The young fox was also dumbfounded. It was stuttering as it repeatedly said that it was definitely not because Wei Xun was under its influence. It was still a fox cub, not fully developed. Hence, absorbing Yang Energy was like drinking Nutrition Express, there was no other reaction one would have. Definitely!

That was weird, it was not his problem, and it was not the fox cub either. Was it really because he had absorbed too much Yang Energy? However, if too much pure Yang Energy would cause an erection, then it was Wei Xun’s problem. But now, he obviously shared a kind of unique intimate feeling with the snow leopard, which seemed to be instinctive and not controlled by reason.

Wei Xun ran through his mind quickly, and suddenly an idea flashed through his mind. He thought of the demonic insect ball.

[Your esteemed self is a natural reproducer, and your swarm will have a strong desire to reproduce]

[Re.produce.er.]

Wei Xun gritted his teeth and exclaimed, ‘Xiaocui, come out!’

An emerald green light that only Wei Xun could see appeared, and the palm-sized emerald green lace-winged insect appeared. But as soon as it came out, it was whipped by the tail of the snow leopard to the side of the backpack.

Xiaocui hid in the shadow of the backpack and remained as quiet as a chicken without making a sound. Sure enough, it was because of this shitty Reproducer. It was due to Xiaocui who was in the demonic insect ball. Once it disappeared from the ball, Wei Xun quickly calmed down.

Although his body was still hot due to the consumption of excessive Yang Energy, control had gradually returned to Wei Xun’s hands, and reason overwhelmed instinct. At this moment, the weight of the snow leopard was all on his body, and the cold tip of its nose touched the back of his neck from time to time. The cold feeling stimulated Wei Xun’s hot skin and caused him to shiver, allowing him to completely recover his reason.

When the snow leopard tried to bite the back of Wei Xun’s neck, the fully recovered Wei Xun decisively pushed the snow leopard away.

The feeling of blood rushing to his head had not completely dissipated, and the tent seemed to still be filled with a fiery atmosphere. Wei Xun was afraid that he would be affected by the mood inside the tent again.

When the snow leopard approached Wei Xun again, he held its forehead down, firmly pushed it away again, and walked out of the tent.

The author has something to say:

Leopard-y: ???

Leopard-y: Ow??

This tour is the same as Xiangxi-it will end in about fifty chapters!

I am so sorry! The task of saving up backlogged chapters these days is too heavy. It has caused Yanyan to weaken tat, so I will stop uploading extra updates these days. So each chapter will only be about 9k Chinese characters.

When I come back on May 1st, I will try my best to update more chapters. I remember the nutrient solutions provided by Little Angels! Now it is 360,000, and there are still 21 chapters to update, I can do it!
