Chapter 49: Five Years Later...
Two and a half years later...
In the heart of the demon clan, within the Palace of Love Demons, thunderous booms echoed from the training grounds.
Two figures—one black, one red—soared and clashed in midair.
Each collision sent waves of black and red energy blasting outward, shaking the palace.
These two were none other than Lin Ze and Leng Xiao.
Five years had passed since Lin Ze returned. He no longer held the softness of a child. Tall and lean, his features were sharp, his expression cold, and his brows carried a heroic edge. A dark, sword-like mark rested between his eyebrows. He had now fully mastered the lust techniques taught by Sidi, and exuded a rare, dangerous charm.
On the streets, his return rate wasn't 100%, but it was no less than 99%—the ultimate heartthrob.
A perfect lady-killer.
Leng Xiao had changed, too. Now over eighteen, she was a dazzling young woman.
Dressed in fiery red, her wild and beautiful features made her look like a blazing flame. And though her aura was fierce, her voluptuous figure made her stand out even among the demon clan's beauties—her figure even surpassed that of Yue Ye.
After learning that Lin Ze had returned five years ago, Leng Xiao often came to the Palace of Love Demons to spar with him. Among the younger generation, only Lin Ze and Yue Ye were close to her in power.
But Yue Ye had dedicated herself to managing the Yue Ye Chamber of Commerce, rarely sparring anymore. And so, Leng Xiao kept returning to find Lin Ze—not just for training, but perhaps... for something more.
She often stayed overnight after sparring.
As they fought fiercely, a curvy maid dressed in formal black-and-white attire stood below, eyes full of admiration.
This was Xiao Yun, Lin Ze's personal maid.
Seeing that Leng Xiao was at a disadvantage, Xiao Yun called out with enthusiasm, "Master Lin Ze, go! Beat up Leng Xiao!"
Leng Xiao, hearing this mid-battle, fumed: "Xiao Yun! You're so heartless! This witch has treated you well!"
Xiao Yun didn't flinch. "Your Highness, when you used to be stronger, you bullied Master Lin Ze all the time. Now that he's reached the sixth level, it's only fair he gets a little revenge."
Lin Ze chuckled as he saw Leng Xiao pushed back. "Sister Xiaoxiao, if you don't focus, you'll lose for real this time."
"Hmph! This witch will never admit defeat. If you end up crying later, don't blame me."
"Heh, we'll see if you have the strength, Sister Xiaoxiao."
"You dare tease your sister? Let me show you the power of the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon!"
As Leng Xiao shouted, her body surged with a dark red aura. Black scales appeared over her body, and her aura surged dramatically.
She was on the verge of breaking through to the seventh level.
"What a powerful aura!"
Even Xiao Yun was shocked. Leng Xiao had never used this form before.
For the first time, she worried for Lin Ze.
Feeling both Lin Ze and Xiao Yun's astonishment, Leng Xiao raised her chin proudly. "Hmph, now you see how strong this witch is?"
Lin Ze smiled slightly. "Sister Xiaoxiao, your defense must be pretty solid now, huh?"
"Huh?" Leng Xiao blinked, confused by the odd question.
Before she could respond, she sensed something—Lin Ze's dark aura suddenly intensified. His power surged rapidly!
Before their eyes, Lin Ze's black hair turned into a striking silver-white.
A black vertical mark appeared between his eyebrows.
When he opened his eyes, a golden gleam flashed across his pupils.
A faint black mist surrounded his body—this was the power of his third Taotie bloodline:
Shadow Enhancement.
A thin shadow layer cloaked his body, greatly boosting his defense, strength, and speed.
"So handsome~"
Leng Xiao stared blankly.
Lin Ze's black hair and eyes had become silver and gold—an arresting transformation.
She quickly shook her head, cheeks flushed, realizing she had lost focus.
But now her eyes grew sharp again—Lin Ze's current aura was no weaker than her own.
"Be careful, Sister Xiaoxiao."
The moment Lin Ze finished speaking, he vanished.
In a blink, he appeared in front of Leng Xiao—faster than lightning.
"So fast!"
She barely had time to react. Her instincts kicked in—she crossed her arms and poured spiritual power into her defense.
Bang!
Lin Ze's fist struck her arms like a cannonball. She flew backward, smashing through a rockery behind her.
Stones flew. Dust billowed.
Lin Ze froze. He hadn't expected his blow to be so strong.
Before the dust cleared, a cough rang out.
He instantly teleported to her side.
"Sister Xiaoxiao, are you okay?"
Lin Ze carefully lifted her up and carried her away from the wreckage. Xiao Yun rushed toward them—only to pause halfway.
She saw Leng Xiao's lips curve into a sly smile, and her slightly open eyes peek at Lin Ze.
Xiao Yun sighed, chuckling quietly. "His Highness Leng Xiao really hasn't grown up… just like Her Highness Yue Ye."
As Lin Ze worried, Leng Xiao—still in his arms—suddenly pinched his cheek.
Pretending to be angry, she puffed up her cheeks.
"Lin Ze! How dare you hit your Sister Xiaoxiao that hard? If this witch hadn't blocked in time, you'd have broken two ribs!"
Though she joked, she wasn't lying—Lin Ze's punch had already reached seventh-level strength.
Had she not reacted fast enough, it would've ended badly.
Seeing that she was fine, Lin Ze let out a long breath of relief.
Xiao Yun approached and smiled, "Master Lin Ze, since Her Highness Leng Xiao is unharmed, you should go freshen up. You promised to meet Her Highness Yue Ye today."
