I Can Transfer the Side Effects of Evil Skills

Clearly, they were preparing to leave so the Beast Taming Hall could take over.

However, there was still some handover work to be done. Thus, upon their return, Jiang Wanzhao and the other True Disciples immediately headed for the Beast Taming Hall’s Flying Celestial Ship.

Zou Feng knew full well that even though the rights had been sold, Jiang Wanzhao and the others must have already reaped substantial rewards over the past few days.

After all, he had only discovered the incubation chamber for the ant king-grade larvae. But what about the adult ant king-grade monsters?

And what about the lizard monsters from the beginning, or the giant, floating jellyfish...

To say nothing of anything else, the bodies of those powerful Alien Race creatures were certainly full of priceless ”materials.”

’Unfortunately, I can’t take part in the distribution of these profits for now...’

While waiting for the handover to be completed, other exploration teams began to return, and Zou Feng spotted Luo Yingning among them.

The woman had spent days in the catacombs, yet she didn’t have so much as a minor wound. He couldn’t tell if it was due to good luck or sheer strength.

Her companion, Bai Rui, on the other hand, was clearly badly injured and looked pale.

After glancing at her, Zou Feng figured that now they were back on the Flying Celestial Ship with True Disciples around, Luo Yingning wouldn’t be foolish enough to try and start something.

Unexpectedly, after looking his way for a moment, Luo Yingning suddenly appeared to get into an argument with Bai Rui.

He couldn’t tell what it was about, but from where Zou Feng stood, he could see Bai Rui pleading with a pained expression while Luo Yingning glared back, impatiently retorting.

The argument didn’t last long. Bai Rui eventually clutched her forehead, giving up.

The next moment, Luo Yingning strode quickly in his direction.

At this sight, Zou Feng’s eyes lit up.

’Is she really going to start something? Attack me in public, in front of all these people?’

’Then no one can blame me for fighting back in self-defense and devouring this little ”dessert”...’

Gongsun Jinghong, Teng County, and the other women were, of course, by Zou Feng’s side.

Seeing Luo Yingning approach, their guards went up instantly, and they all prepared to strike.

After all, ever since joining the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect, they knew Luo Yingning was a powerful Poison Cultivator with a natural Spirit Bone. They didn’t dare underestimate her.

Seeing this, Zou Feng said in a low voice, ”In a minute, whatever she tries, don’t any of you do anything. I’ll handle it.”

Hearing this, the women didn’t hesitate, taking a collective step back.

”Zou Feng!”

Luo Yingning stopped about seven paces from Zou Feng and was the first to speak.

Luo Yingning’s presence drew the gazes of the other disciples around them.

After all, many people there recognized Luo Yingning.

With her extreme beauty, the power from her innate Spirit Bone, and her venomous, cruel methods, it would be hard *not* to be famous.

Zou Feng asked coolly, ”To what do I owe the pleasure, Miss Luo?”

Luo Yingning first took a deep, greedy breath, as if she was smelling the potent toxic aura on Zou Feng—an aroma that invigorated her.

That one breath made her feel intoxicated.

It also solidified her earlier intentions.

’If just a whiff is this good, what would happen if I could actually take a bite? Wouldn’t I ascend to heaven on the spot?’

”Zou Feng, let’s cut the crap. We both know what’s going on. I want to use you for my Refinement, and you want to use me for yours. So why don’t we... just dual cultivate? We can enter each other and take what we need!”

Zou Feng smiled. ”Alright, then let’s—wait, what did you just say!?”

He’d expected her to provoke him into a fight. How had the conversation suddenly taken such a bizarre turn?

Luo Yingning continued shamelessly, ”Dual cultivation would benefit us both. And with my body and looks, it’s a blessing you couldn’t hope for in a hundred lifetimes. What do you say?”

The area immediately fell silent.

The expressions on most people’s faces turned strange.

Gongsun Jinghong and the other women, however, were furious. This was no different than trying to steal him right in front of them.

But Zou Feng had already told them to let him handle it, no matter what happened. So for now, the women could only bottle up their rage.

Zou Feng snapped out of his stupor and sized up Luo Yingning, sneering inwardly.

’With her vicious personality, would she really be content with just dual cultivation?’

There was no such thing as complementary dual cultivation between Poison Cultivators.

The best and most direct method to refine another’s toxins was, and always had been, to devour them completely.

Therefore, her proposal was clearly a trap she’d laid for him after weighing the pros and cons.

If she attacked him outright, a core disciple or even a True Disciple would likely intervene.

And even if she succeeded before being stopped, she would face severe punishment according to sect rules.

In short, the best opportunity to strike had been during the chaotic battles in the catacombs. That time had passed.

That’s why she was now trying to use her beauty to lure him into a trap.

During dual cultivation, they would be alone. She could make her move then and later claim that Zou Feng had tried to assault her, forcing her to retaliate.

Since they weren’t in the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect, the Celestial Dao Cauldron wouldn’t be monitoring them, so she could get away with it.

’Too bad for her...’

Zou Feng found it amusing. ’Do I really look like the kind of person to fall for a honey trap?’

’Although, this is also a chance for me to turn the tables and devour her.’

’But agreeing to her proposal—even pretending to agree—in front of Gongsun Jinghong, the other women, and all these people would be going too far.’

’So, I have to add a condition that everyone will understand.’

In the next moment, a plan formed in Zou Feng’s mind.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he lifted his chin slightly, a smirk playing on his lips. ”Your proposal... isn’t entirely unacceptable...”

He agreed?!

And in front of his own partners?

Many people’s expressions turned mischievous, and a new wave of gasps and murmurs swept through the crowd.

Everyone’s attention shifted to Zou Feng’s partners, Gongsun Jinghong and Teng County.

But they discovered that neither woman showed any anger or shock. They seemed completely unbothered.

In fact, Teng County was even smiling.

Only Qiu Lan’s expression shifted. She had a normal reaction: complete confusion.

Of course, they didn’t know that Gongsun Jinghong and Teng County had been eccentric, even crazed, Evil Cultivators ever since they began their training.

Compared to the things they’d seen and heard before, this was small potatoes.

Especially Gongsun Jinghong, who once learned that her own father had suddenly developed a keen interest in giant bears and had even started keeping several of them...

Besides, both women had a tacit understanding and instantly grasped Zou Feng’s true intentions.

Hearing Zou Feng’s response, Luo Yingning broke into a smile, just as she’d expected.

”In that case, no time like the present. Your room or mine?” Luo Yingning licked her lips, not bothering to hide her eagerness.

Bai Rui, who had just walked over, felt a wave of disgust watching this.

She began to feel that all of Mu Wanrou’s devotion to Luo Yingning back at the Tianxiang Association had been a waste.

’Senior Sister Mu, you really misjudged her in the end...’ Bai Rui shook her head slowly, no longer wanting to concern herself with Luo Yingning’s betrayal of that relationship.

But in the next moment, Zou Feng changed his tune. ”Not so fast. I’m not finished...”

”We can dual cultivate, but only after we return to the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect. We’ll do it on the Dao Discussion Platform!”

Dual cultivation... on the Dao Discussion Platform?!

At his words, it wasn’t just Luo Yingning; everyone else was stunned.

But Luo Yingning’s face quickly darkened. ”Are you messing with me?”

Zou Feng shrugged. ”You’re the one trying to mess with me, you venomous bitch.”

”Cut the crap. If you want to refine my essence, do it openly. Let’s go back and settle it on the Dao Discussion Platform!”

”And even if you genuinely wanted to dual cultivate, who’s to say we can’t do it on the platform? If you don’t want an audience, we can just put up a screen of Spiritual Qi...”

His words infuriated Luo Yingning so much that her face turned ashen. She nearly lost control and attacked him right then and there.

But with a flicker in her eyes, Luo Yingning managed to restrain herself.

”It seems the tolling of the Celestial Dao Cauldron has given you a confidence you don’t deserve.”

”Have you already forgotten how you hid like a turtle in its shell when you were first brought to the Immortal Sect, not even daring to face me?”

”Fine. If you want to die on the Dao Discussion Platform, then I will grant your wish!”
