Villain Cultivator

194 Family, Eh?

"Ah, crap. I just ruined his corpse. Miaomiao, can you summon one more of this guy? I\'ll make sure to kill him and leave an intact corpse."

Ju Shoufen was into the lecture that she forgot about her purpose. She was supposed to keep the corpse intact to test if they could bring this dead body to the real world. If they could do it, they might be able to claim the bounty and get 1,000 essence cores and the shadow element crystal from Liu Bian.

Meanwhile, Cao Mao was heartbroken. He sat on his butt, hugged his knees, and sobbed while he buried his face in his knees.

Ju Shoufen\'s face darkened, "Dafuq is wrong with you, brat?"

"I\'m just sad, senior."

"… Why?"

"I…" Cao Mao almost exposed his secret that he didn\'t get a reward for killing Xie Tian\'s clone. He snapped back to his sense when he gazed at the naked loli grandma. His rooster got excited again, but he hid it behind his knees.

Cao Mao distracted Ju Shoufen by pretending to be mentally weak.

"The cultivation world is scary. If a core pillar expert can kill me by commanding my element Qi to explode, how can I resist them in the future?"

Ju Shoufen laughed. She patted his head, "You\'re a fool. Core pillar experts can indeed kill weaker cultivators with a flicker of fingers, there\'s a limit to their abilities. Commanding and mastering an advanced element Qi isn\'t a simple task that everybody can do. On this continent, rogue cultivators without a Dao God\'s protection are suppressed by the Eyes of Heaven\'s Will. They are too busy overcoming random heaven tribulations whenever they try to achieve a new power, so they don\'t have enough free time to evolve their element Qi."

"I know. But aren\'t there many experts with advanced element power?"

"No. Every 20 core pillar experts, only one or two of them can use an advanced element Qi."

Cao Mao raised his eyebrows. All the 6th-stage experts he had encountered so far had the presence of big boss villains, and they seemed capable.

"Are you sure? All elders that I know seem to be able to use advanced element, though."

Ju Shoufen burst into laughter, "You have grown up in the middle of a monster\'s den, brat. Well, come to think of it, you were once Xu Xiuying\'s adopted son. Her ice element is considered a weak advanced element, but it\'s still powerful nonetheless. Jia Shan is a former sword saint, so he knew about metal element and sword aura. Jia Wenhe and I are using a similar power. Fu De is using blood element. And then, there\'s Wei Huang bastard… In short, you never get to know the abilities of trashy core pillar experts out there. They\'re much weaker than the experts you knew."

Cao Mao was certain that he would run into monstrous core pillar experts or leaders of organizations, sects, or clans in the future. Trashy cannon fodders were less likely to show up in front of him due to the story plots around Ma Moxi. Even if they were to show up, they would become EXP for the protagonists in the area.

"Anyway, I need the ability to store items like my granddaughter. What do I have to do to get it?"

Ju Shoufen changed the subject. She tried to control the flow of conversation, so she could use this time distortion space to the fullest.

Cao Mao was aware of that. Of course, he wouldn\'t allow this loli grandma to use it for free.

"Remember what I said? We need to do it 10,000 more times."

Ju Shoufen clicked her tongue in disdain, but her lower mouth twitched as if she was anticipating the marathon sex. She didn\'t realize that her body reacted to the demand of her master.

"Fine. Also, can I have that pill again?"

Cao Mao had a smug smile on his face, "Why do you need a sex pill? Was I that bad?"

"Don\'t get the wrong idea! That stupid pill increased my vitality and stamina. I need it, or I\'ll pass out again!"

"Right…"

…

200 hours later

Cao Mao had his fill violating this loli grandma for 10,000 times. Doing it with small girls gave a different experience.

Furthermore, Cao Mao obtained fire element and poison element resistance from using manual DC mode. He hadn\'t mastered both of them yet, but he planned to do so if he could mate with Ju Shoufen 90,000 more times.

As promised, Cao Mao unlocked a system inventory slot for her.

But then, the system informed him about what he could do after he completed protagonist rematch mode for the first time.

Ding

\\u003cYou can pay your life essence to increase system inventory slots for yourself or your yin slaves. Each upgrade will unlock one additional slot.\\u003e

In the past, Cao Mao\'s slaves could only possess one slot of system inventory, so they could only bring one item to the Isolation Training Space. However, he only used the slaves as his cock sleeves, so he disregarded the feature for a long time.

Now, Ju Shoufen demonstrated that all slaves could be used in combat against the clones. The item slots became a necessity for Cao Mao\'s future skill farming plan.

"How many inventory slots can my yin slaves have?"

\\u003cOne yin slave can have up to the number of inventory slots that you have, but they cannot have more inventory slots than you.\\u003e

"How much does the upgrade cost?"

\\u003cEach inventory slot requires 10,000 liters of life essence to unlock.\\u003e

"That\'s… quite expensive."

The upgrade cost was too high.

Still, the system inventory was the only thing that could prevent items from decaying. On the other hand, stored items in spatial rings could still rot or decomposed if they were incorrectly handled. It could be useful for storing consumable items, such as pills, food, or water. Even Cao Mao allocated half of his hollowed spring water in the space inventory and stacked them in one of his ten slots.

Moreover, the system inventory was the only way to transport items from the real world into the space. Cao Mao would need many slots to get all ingredients into that world.

\'Haiz. I guess I have to postpone my cultivation upgrade. I\'ll sell more pills and get more essence cores. Then, I\'ll unlock all inventory slots for myself and everybody… I need 100k LE for myself and 190k for each girl. Wait, how many yin slaves I have again?\'

(15 x 190,000) + 100,000

Cao Mao sweated profusely. He needed 59 more essence cores or 59 million refined stones for his project.

In the end, Cao Mao gave Ju Shoufen two slots of system inventory for now, so this moody elder could shut her mouth tomorrow.

Next morning

Ju Shoufen woke up. For the first time in decades, she had a good sleep. Yet, her lower mouth contracted and sent extreme pleasure to her brain as the lingering sensation of 200 hours of marathon sex affected her real body.

\'That damn brat! This is a disgrace. Eh, but that time distortion space is too useful. I need to use it more often. Selling my body to get extra time in life and a unique ability is worth it!\'

She opened her system inventory menu that Cao Mao had bestowed her after 10,000 rounds of sex. There were two square boxes with two different icons on the semi-transparent blue screen.

One of them was a fire element crystal, which she earned from defeating Xie Tian\'s clone. Another one was a clone\'s corpse, which Cao Mao had summoned for her to kill and collect.

Ju Shoufen pulled out the clone\'s corpse and placed it on her bed. The body of Xie Tian\'s clone had a hole in his chest. As for the rest, such as armor or clothes, were still in a good shape.

\'Last time, I dissected that brat\'s corpse, and it disintegrated. If I don\'t touch this corpse, how long can it last?\'

As Ju Shoufen was an alchemist, her way of thinking was akin to a modern scientist. Her trial and error methods of proving her hypothesis and theory were also similar.

Ju Shoufen sat there, looking at the corpse and counting the time.

One hour later, it was still there.

Three hours later, the muscle of the corpse hardened, and the body became stiff.

Three hours of observation was enough for Ju Shoufen to conclude that the corpse wouldn\'t disappear as long as nobody touched it.

Ju Shoufen split the corpse into two and dissected it for the dantian core, just like how she did it with Cao Mao\'s dead body.

ZAA

A minute after Ju Shoufen damaged the corpse, it turned into dust. The particles scattered and flew away.

Ju Shoufen shook her head. Had she handed over the corpse to the imperial men, they would have discovered that it was a fake body. Then, the imperial clan wouldn\'t leave Ju Shoufen and her family alive.

\'I can\'t con the prince. Well, it\'s fine. I can still profit a lot if I can use the time distortion space correctly.\'

Ju Shoufen changed her clothes and combed her hair. Then, she got out of her room.

In front of her room was a white cat and a silver fox cub, hugging each other and wailing.

"Huh? What are these monster beasts doing here?"

…

Meanwhile, Ma Ping\'s living room became the gathering center as usual. However, two unusual members decided to join them today.

Aside from Ma Shoucheng, Pang Lingming, Ma Ping, Ju Chen, and Ma Xingjuan, who were the regulars, Ma Moxi and Cao Mao joined them today. The hidden villain and the protagonist had something to discuss with the elders.

The protagonist wanted to show off his improvement in his cultivation base, proving his worth to the others. He was now a level 6 meridian establishment expert.

The increase of Ma Moxi\'s cultivation base shocked his family members. But for Ju Chen and Cao Mao, the feat of jumping from level 10 bone refinement realm to level 6 meridian establishment realm was nothing.

Ma Moxi looked smug in front of Cao Mao. He glanced at the latter and puffed his chest, feeling proud of himself.

"Here, can you trust me now?"

Ma Ping nodded and smiled, "Very well. You\'ve done well, Moxi. You must have used a lot of resources for that, right? By the way, I see that you\'ve brought a monster beast pet with you as well. Are you planning to keep it?"

Ma Ping and others noticed the fox cub that came together with Ma Moxi, but it ran toward Ju Shoufen\'s guesthouse. They were curious where Ma Moxi found the fox.

"Before that, can we kick him out? He\'s an outsider," Ma Moxi pointed at Cao Mao\'s face in disdain,

Ma Ping scoffed, "Don\'t be rude. He\'s your brother-in-law from now on. Show him some respect!"

Ma Moxi wanted to talk in private with his family members, but Ma Ping insisted that they should talk here. The protagonist groaned as he didn\'t have a choice.

"Alright. Fine." Ma Moxi gave up persuading his grandfather. Since Cao Mao wanted to stay, he had an idea of how he could exploit this brother-in-law.

Instead of talking to his grandfather, Ma Moxi turned to Cao Mao. The former grinned as if he was plotting something.

"Well, since you\'re my brother-in-law, you\'re a relative of mine. Since we\'re family, we should help each other. Right?"

Cao Mao squinted his eyes. He also gave the protagonist a fake smile, "Of course. If there\'s something I can do for you, please say so."

"Good," Ma Moxi sneered, thinking that Cao Mao was too na?ve.

"Brother-in-law, I heard that you\'re rich. Could I borrow some of your spirit stones? I need an investment fund to prepare for the upcoming auction event."

"Ah, I see. It\'s that, huh," Cao Mao smirked. As he had guessed, this protagonist was up to something. "Unfortunately, I\'ve already invested in something. Currently, I\'m lacking cash"

Cao Mao declined the request right away, but he gave Ma Moxi some face by giving him a counter offer.

"However, I\'m willing to give you my remaining pocket money as an investment fund if you can do something for me."

"Oh, sure. What is it?"

"First off, I need to ask you a few questions. I need you to answer me truthfully," Cao Mao leaned his face closer to Ma Moxi. He got so close to the protagonist that he almost kissed him.

However, the eyes of Cao Mao suddenly gave Ma Moxi a scare. They were sinister and mysterious at the same time. The protagonist felt like he was staring into the abyss.

Cao Mao tilted his head a bit, "Can you concoct pills, brother?"
