The next day, Shichen got up, hunched over, and listlessly left his room.
After a quick wash, Nangong Nayue dressed and came out of the room.
"What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well last night?" Nangong Nayue asked, puzzled, seeing his expression.
"Hmm...more or less." Shi Chen nodded weakly.
"Did you have a nightmare?"
"It's not that bad..."
"What could be the reason? It couldn't be a wet dream, could it? Even dreams like that shouldn't be like this."
"How could that be!" Shichen retorted loudly, then asked in confusion, "Then Yue-chan, how do you know that men don't have dreams like mine?"
"You just said it yourself." Nangong Nayue said expressionlessly.
"..."
"Tell me, what exactly happened?"
"Sigh, I might... still be a pseudo-True Ancestor." Shi Chen sighed and answered honestly.
"What do you mean?" Nangong Nayue didn't understand.
"The familiar I devoured from the Fourth Progenitor yesterday is gone..."
Last night, besides learning that he was also going to awaken his familiar by consuming blood, Shi Chen also learned that the familiars he devoured had turned into his magic power.
Familiars are aggregates of magic power, so it's normal for them to be devoured and converted into magic power, but this conversion happens without their knowledge.
The Fourth Progenitor's familiars could not become his familiars at all, and could not even survive in his body, so they were directly converted into magic power.
The magical power transformed from familiars is immense, but it's temporarily useless to Shichen. He needs a means of attack now, and he needs familiars as his weapons.
He had originally thought he could use his familiar, the Demoness Azure Ice, to be arrogant, but it was all for naught.
Isn't this no different from before?
Vlame hadn't taught him any offensive magic yet; after all, he didn't even have any magic power at that time, so there was no need to teach him everything at once.
"You also devoured a familiar from the fourth kind?" Nangong Nayue asked in surprise.
"Yes, the original soul kept a familiar for itself."
"The original soul?" Nangong Nayue looked at him in confusion.
"The Fourth True Ancestor was once divided into twelve parts and sealed, which are twelve original bodies. Her twelve familiars were also sealed in each original body. The original bodies all have self-awareness, and it is no exaggeration to say that they are the blood followers of the Fourth True Ancestor. Any one of them could become the Fourth True Ancestor, as long as it devours the other original bodies," Shi Chen explained.
"So, the Fourth Ancestor wasn't completely defeated?" Nangong Nayue realized.
"That's one way to put it." Shichen nodded: "Each of the Fourth Ancestor's familiars is quite powerful and has different terrifying abilities. Even if one is missing, it's not a big deal."
"Then that means..." Nangong Nayue's expression was solemn.
"Yes, the Feast of Flames will still begin as scheduled. At that time, it will depend on which qualified person has more physical bodies, and that person will have a chance to awaken the new Fourth True Ancestor."
"Isn't this a case of not solving any problems at all? The original body probably doesn't understand anything, right? Doesn't this just make things more complicated?" Nangong Nayue couldn't help but sigh.
The so-called qualified participants are those who attend this banquet, and the condition is to possess a physical body. Needless to say, anyone who can obtain a physical body must have great ambitions.
Helping the Fourth True Ancestor awaken and gain the merit of following the dragon—whatever the purpose, it certainly won't be simple.
Immortal?
That was just the initial and basic goal: to become an immortal being. Naturally, a greater ambition followed.
A True Ancestor is someone qualified to become a regional overlord or emperor. Anyone who has mastered the Fourth True Ancestor is bound to be interested in becoming an emperor.
In a world where power reigns supreme, status is exceptionally alluring, and one might even try to devour the Fourth Progenitor.
Nangong Nayue immediately understood the situation.
"Don't worry," Shi Chen patted his chest reassuringly. "With me here, there won't be any problems."
"Don't you even have a familiar?" Nangong Nayue glanced at him.
"That's just because the Fourth Ancestor's familiar is gone. My own familiar is just as strong," Shichen said without any basis.
"And what about your familiar?"
"Uh... they're still dormant. Do we need to offer a sacrifice to awaken them?"
"How do I do it?"
"..." Shi Chen pursed his lips and silently looked at Nangong Nayue, his gaze involuntarily drifting to her fair neck.
"Why are you looking at me?" Nangong Nayue asked curiously.
"I need to drink blood..." said Teacher Shichen.
"Blood sucker..." Nangong Nayue immediately took a step back, covered her neck, and stared at him warily.
"Natsuki-chan... are you serious about backing down?" Toki's lips twitched.
"Hmph! What else? Wait for you to suck my blood?"
Nangong Nayue understood the urge to drink blood from vampires, which meant she was sexually attracted to them.
"I'm innocent! I'm not that casual."
"I hope so... and let me make it clear beforehand, sucking my blood won't do you any good."
"Of course I know."
"Wait, you're not going to attack Xia Yin, are you?" Nangong Nayue narrowed her eyes, staring at him dangerously.
"How could that be? How old is Xia Yin? Do you think I'm that kind of person?"
"Who knows if you're that kind of person?" Nangong Nayue pouted.
"...Where is the most basic trust between people? I'm so sad that you're doing this to me, Tsuki-chan," Toki said, feeling wronged.
"Hmph! It's all because you suddenly said you wanted to drink blood, and you're only interested in little girls." Nangong Nayue crossed her arms, unmoved.
"When did I ever say I was interested in little girls? I'm interested in you, Natsuki-chan."
"If you're interested in me like this, what's the difference between you and being interested in little girls?" Faced with Shi Chen's sudden confession, Nangong Nayue's expression remained calm: "Besides, aren't you only around little girls? That girl named Lan Yu Qian Cong, and Xia Yin."
"Isn't Ms. Sasa an adult woman?" Toki couldn't help but retort.
"What do you mean?" Nangong Nayue's eyes turned cold. "You want to attack that stupid dog?"
"No, no, that's impossible," Shi Chen quickly waved his hand in denial.
"Hmph, that's for the best." Nangong Nayue snorted coldly.
"Sigh, can't you trust me at all, Yue-chan?" Toki sighed helplessly.
"That depends on your performance... So what are you planning to do? Go around finding people to prey on women?" Nangong Nayue changed the subject and asked.
"That's ridiculous!" Shichen shouted. "I don't plan to awaken my familiar for now."
"What about the Fourth True Ancestor?"
"Don't worry, it will take a year or two to find all the original bodies."
"Really? You know quite a lot," Nangong Nayue said calmly.
"I'm awesome, aren't I?" Shi Chen said with a smug smile.
"..." Nangong Nayue rolled her eyes at him in annoyance.
"In short, we can live a stable life for a while."
"You really won't hurt a little girl?" Nangong Nayue couldn't help but ask again.
"Natsuki-chan... if you keep doing this, I'm going to have to get rough with you." Toki looked at her seriously.
"What? What do you want? I don't think you can do it at all." Nangong Nayue was not afraid.
"Did you say that?"
"Come on, if you dare."
"good!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Chen suddenly reached out and touched Nangong Nayue's head.
Nangong Nayue shook her head helplessly and disappeared.
"Is that all you've got?"
A voice came from behind him. Without saying a word, Shi Chen turned around and continued to pat her head.
Swish!
Nangong Nayue disappeared again.
Shi Chen also used spatial magic to sense spatial fluctuations and chase after her.
The two darted around the living room, chasing and playing like children.
"Natsuki-chan, don't run away!"
"Why wouldn't you run? So I could pat your head? I really don't know what's so great about patting your head."
"You don't understand."
"I don't need to understand."
"You wait, I'll definitely catch up with you!"
"You're someone I taught; you're still a long way from catching up with me."
"But I have more magic power than you. Let's see what you do when you run out! Hmph~ Then you'll be left to my whims."
"Are you stupid? It's right here in this room, how much could it possibly consume? It'll last for days."
