Han Ye finally regained his composure, knowing that he was in an assessment and everything he was seeing was nothing but an illusion.
“Thank you, Qing Li. I couldn’t have made it through without you.”
“The seductive effect of this Purple Rhinoceros Wood is difficult to detect. However, when it comes to beguiling hearts, we fox demons are naturally gifted. These illusions are nothing to us.”
Tushan Qingli’s voice rang out, tinged with arrogance.
Faced with the hideous fat pig in front of him, Han Ye naturally delivered a heavy punch.
With Tushan Qing Li by his side, all these demon beasts were frozen in place, unable to escape.
They could only watch helplessly as Han Ye launched his attack.
Han Ye drew in his Dantian, his muscles and bones gave a slight creak, and the dragon and tiger roared. He unleashed a punch, and an invisible surge of energy burst out from his fist.
– Boom!
The ugly green-faced demon in front of him was blown into pieces under the force of the punch, turning into wisps of black smoke.
“Young Master, although these scenes are illusions, these ugly creatures are indeed demons,” Tushan Qing Li explained.
“Oh?”
“These are not ordinary pig demons, but a different kind—pig demons that have been possessed by demon seeds. They are violent by nature and love to consume the Yang energy of the human race. The horrifying state of these corpses speaks volumes.”
Han Ye glanced at the dry corpses, their lower halves completely empty, which made him shudder.
“The chief culprit is gone. It’s time for the illusion to disappear, right?”
Just as Han Ye was thinking this…
The entire Dao Residence shattered like a mirror, instantly breaking apart the illusion before him.
When Han Ye opened his eyes again, he found himself back in the Purple Rhinoceros Bamboo Forest.
But he didn’t move recklessly. Instead, he lay on the ground using his peripheral vision to survey his surroundings. He quickly realized that no one else had woken up.
Even the renowned lady in white, Chu Xianyu..
She was sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed, seemingly unconcerned, evidently still caught within the illusion.
“Where am I?” Wang Da Niu also stepped into the illusion, looked around in confusion, forgetting what had just happened.
Bright red lanterns were still hanging, and laughter rose from within the Dao Residence, sounding like silver bells.
Occasional flashes of lightning in the sky reminded people that this was a place of conflicting interests.
Looking at the gloomy Dao Residence in front of him, Wang Da Niu muttered:
“Huh, this place reminds me of the latrine back home. I don’t know why, but I’m suddenly feeling homesick.”
He strolled up to the entrance of the Dao Residence and easily pushed open the door.
“Oh, sir, your pectorals are so big. Can this girl touch them?” contemporary romance
A beautiful woman in gauze lightly swayed her fan and greeted him with a beaming smile. The moment she saw Wang Da Niu, her eyes sparkled.
The man standing before her was brimming with Yang energy, clearly a fortifying supplement.
“I’m not as good as you are. I’m not that big.”
Wang Da Niu scratched his head bashfully upon receiving the compliment.
She giggled, “So funny.”
And then her figure flickered, in a blink of an eye, she was by Wang Da Niu’s side, smiling seductively:
“Sir, do you think I’m pretty?”
For a moment, Wang Da Niu’s eyes became hazy, but he murmured:
“Um… you’re alright but I think, Hongliu is better.”
“Who is Hongliu?”
“The girl I like in my village.”
Even in this state, Wang Da Niu still spoke candidly.
The woman in gauze couldn’t help but laugh, her gaze intense, “Why don’t you forget about this Hongliu and stay with me? I promise, I will make you feel on top of the world.”
“Sorry lady, it’s inappropriate for a man and a woman to be too intimate, I might be illiterate, but I know my manners.”
“Moreover, I can’t let down Hongliu.”
Wang Da Niu shook his head resolutely, as if he had regained his bearings. No matter how the gauze-wrapped woman tempted him, he remained unmoved, his will firm as steel.
The gauze-wrapped woman’s mouth twitched, she forcefully pulled down her robe and tried to laugh seductively: “Hongliu is far away, while I’m just in front of you. Why don’t you take a closer look at me?”
“I’m inexperienced.”
Wang Da Niu said earnestly.
“Don’t worry, I can guide you.”
“No, I can’t let down Hongliu.”
Seeing that Wang Da Niu remained unaffected, the gauze-wrapped woman’s face grew ugly and she felt extremely frustrated.
“Stop thinking about this Hongliu already.”
Her tone started to lose patience.
“Your Hongliu, how could she possibly compare to me? Be it her body or looks, how could she match up to me?”
Unexpectedly, as soon as she said this…
Wang Da Niu instantly became stern, his voice thundered:
“Nonsense! My Hongliu is the most beautiful!”
“Then let you and your Hongliu die together! I can’t stand you anymore.”
The gauze-wrapped woman could no longer hold back. Her face instantly twisted, and black air started to emerge from her face. Her left shoulder sank, her right shoulder rose, and her legs twisted, turning her into a monstrous creature.
Seeing her true form, Wang Da Niu was taken aback.
He stepped back several steps in shock, exclaiming:
“My, you’re not human!”
“You demon! You’re so ugly, and you dared to defile Hongliu! Come, take my punch!”
After recovering, Wang Da Niu, fueled by the power of his blood, used the martial arts he learned in Liu Manor and threw a punch at her.
But his punch did not land on her.
“Splash!”
A crisp sound echoed, and the entire illusion disappeared.
Wang Da Niu successfully passed the second round of the test.
“Huh? Where is that freak? He dared to badmouth Miss Hongliu, I’ll definitely teach him a lesson next time.”
Upon waking up, Wang Da Niu sat up and immediately began to look for that ugly demon beast.
His mind suddenly cleared.
He remembered that his purpose was to participate in the admission test, and heaved a sigh of relief:
“So it was an illusion.”
At this moment, a hearty laughter rang from his side.
“Not bad, not bad! I didn’t expect the first one to wake up to be a descendant of the Tyrant King.”
The Elder of Internal Affairs walked towards Wang Da Niu with an approving smile on his face.
“Am I the first one to wake up?”
Wang Da Niu was taken aback by these words and quickly glanced around.
He found that everyone else was lying on the ground and he was the only one sitting up.
He really was the first.
Seeing Wang Da Niu’s sturdy arms, the Elder couldn’t help but to admire silently.
Sure enough, as a descendant of the Tyrant King, he’s honest and simple-minded, no wonder he could pass the test so quickly.
This proves his Dao Heart is extremely firm.
On the other side, Han Ye, who was still lying on the ground, suddenly realized that Wang Da Niu had stood up and started talking to the Elder of Internal Affairs.
Only then did he understand that Wang Da Niu had passed the test.
Such a formidable performance from Da Niu?
Han Ye’s first reaction was surprise, but then again, it made sense.
If the second test was about the Dao Heart, then it probably wouldn’t matter much about one’s natural talent.
Given Da Niu’s personality, it’s unlikely that anyone could shake his inner beliefs.
Even he wouldn’t be able to do so.
At most, he could subtly influence others through his behavior and speech, but changing them entirely was impossible.
Since someone had already awoken first, he stopped pretending to sleep.
Pretending to have just regained consciousness, he sat up, rubbing his arms.
This quickly drew the attention of the Elder.
Seeing that Han Ye also woke up, the Elder was puzzled.
Could it be that those with the Tyrant King Bloodline are naturally more determined?
Had it been earlier, he would surely think that things like bloodline talent had nothing to do with one’s Dao Heart.
But now, his belief was shaken!
“Brother Han, you’re awake.”
Seeing Han Ye wake up, Wang Da Niu walked over, patted his shoulder, and chuckled.
“Yes, the charm of that demoness was formidable, I almost fell for it.”
Touching his forehead, Han Ye acted as if he had not fully recovered.
“Da Niu, how did you pass? So quickly.”
Han Ye asked curiously, he was intrigued by Da Niu’s method of passing the test.
Wang Da Niu shook his head: “Don’t mention it. That demoness dared to insult my Miss Hongliu. I wanted to teach her a lesson, but she ran away herself.”
Hearing this, Han Ye had a strange expression on his face.
He seemed to visualize the scene of Wang Da Niu interacting with the pig-like demoness.
Could this be the power of pure affection?
“Hahaha!”
The Elder of Internal Affairs burst into laughter and explained:
“This Purple Rhinoceros Illusion Forest has more than one kind of illusion.
There are many, corresponding to the seven emotions and six desires of people. All the desires and lifelong Heart Demons will appear one by one in the illusion. The case of the Dao Residence Pig Demon you experienced was specifically designed to test men.”
“So that’s how it is.”
Han Ye nodded in realization, but also sensed something was wrong.
“Wait… the Dao Residence Pig Demon’s case, could it be that this illusion isn’t fake, but based on real people and events?”
His eyes widened in surprise.
To this, the Elder of Internal Affairs only smiled and did not offer further explanation.
“Brother Han, look at Miss Liu!”
Wang Da Niu pointed at Liu Lingqi, his face filled with astonishment.
Turning his head, Han Ye saw Liu Lingqi’s face was filled with pain, as if she had been through unbearable torment, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
At that moment, he remembered what Administrator Liu had told him.
Liu Lingqi had experienced some unpleasant incidents when she was young and might be haunted by her Heart Demon.
On the other hand, Chu Xianyu sat in the same spot as if nothing had happened, appearing totally relaxed.
Just then.
A bright blue orb suddenly dropped from her body.
Seeing this, Han Ye’s eyes lit up.
Finally, it dropped.
Hurrying over, he absorbed the attribute.
