Chapter 4292: Friend or Enemy?

At the end of her words, Fifth Little Demon still felt a bit regretful; if she could control those powers, she would be very strong.

"Don't worry, just eat this."

Ye Bufan flipped his wrist, and the fiery red Medicinal Pill refined by the Demon Refining Bottle appeared in his palm.

Fifth Little Demon was a bit surprised: "What is this?"

Ye Bufan said: "The essence of the Dragon Subduing and Blood Nurturing Array is all here."

"Really?"

Fifth Little Demon was filled with joy and swallowed the Medicinal Pill.

Before long, a surging energy rose from her lower abdomen, and her body transformed, revealing her true form, as her ninth tail slowly began to turn as white as jade.

After a quarter of an hour, the transformation was completely finished, and she floated in mid-air, looking like a sculpture carved from beautiful jade.

"Finally, success!"

Fifth Little Demon transformed back into human form, her exquisite face filled with excitement.

Ye Bufan was naturally happy for her: "How long will it take for you to integrate the power of the heavenly fox pearl with your own body?"

Fifth Little Demon said: "I'm not quite sure about that either. It might not take too long, perhaps half a month, or maybe thirty days.

Once I become a Yuan Ancestor Level expert, I'll be able to help you then."

Ye Bufan nodded: "Hurry up. Without strength, one can only be an ant. Let's all seize the time to improve ourselves."

This experience made them realize the importance of strength even more. If Ku Xuzi hadn't arrived at the last moment, the tragic fate of the two of them would have been unimaginable.

The Dragon King Palace was completely under Ye Bufan's control. He marked out an independent space, where Fifth Little Demon would integrate the power of the heavenly fox pearl.

After settling everything, he moved his mind and appeared in another corner of the Dragon King Palace.

When he had saved that mysterious White-Clothed Woman and brought her into the Dragon King Palace, to avoid causing panic among others, he had also set aside a separate area for her.

No one else could enter here; it was like an independent Small World.

When Ye Bufan appeared here, he was startled by the sight before him.

The mysterious White-Clothed Woman was suspended in mid-air, but she was completely different from when he had saved her.

Her dark skin had become as clear as jade, pure white like snow, with rolling peaks and deep valleys, a boundless scenery.

At the same time, her appearance had completely recovered; her features were picturesque and captivating, but at this moment, her eyes were tightly closed, and she was still in a deep sleep.

What was different was her aura; it was many times stronger than before, and the Chaotic Origin Energy circulating within her body was becoming increasingly evident.

As an experienced Cultivator of the Chaotic Holy Scripture, Ye Bufan was certain that the other party Cultivated the same Cultivation Technique as he did; from this perspective, they could be said to be from the same sect.

What shocked him the most was that he had seen this White-Clothed Woman before, in the Three Lives Well, when she ambushed the golden-armored expert. They looked exactly alike, and even their temperaments were extremely similar.

Ye Bufan swallowed, the immense shock making him forget the beauty before him.

He reached out and grabbed a white long gown, completely covering the White-Clothed Woman's naked body.

"Who exactly is she? Is that golden-armored expert the legendary Immortal Saint Ancestor? Who is this White-Clothed Woman? What is their relationship?"

"Also, she also Cultivates the Chaotic Holy Scripture. What is her relationship with me?

Was the White-Clothed Woman who planted the bodhi tree her? Was the White-Clothed Woman who left me a message her?"

"When I rescued her from the Soul Chasing Sword Sect, she was already on her last breath, her aura weak, and her entire body was black.

How is it that in just half a day, she has become like this? How did she do it?"

There were too many questions, which made Ye Bufan feel dizzy for a moment, completely unable to grasp any clues.

He reached out and placed his hand on the White-Clothed Woman's wrist, wanting to check her condition, but she was in a deep sleep at this moment, with no pulse at all, so he couldn't discern anything.

If the other party woke up, she would surely be able to answer many of his questions, but now she was completely in a deep sleep, showing no signs of waking up.

Looking at this peerless beauty, his mind was filled with myriad thoughts, and for a moment, he couldn't determine whether the other party was friend or foe.

Let's wait. Perhaps, as Ku Xuzi said, the time has not yet come.

Thinking of this, he no longer paid attention to the White-Clothed Woman before him and wanted to find the chaos pearl to quickly improve his strength.

Previously, he and Fifth Little Demon had dug up a total of six chaos pearls; he got three, and the little girl got four, including the one she caught in the final passage.

And he had directly taken seven chaos pearls when breaking the formation at the end, plus the three in his hand, making a total of ten.

According to his calculations, if he fully absorbed and refined these ten chaos pearls, his Cultivation should reach the Yuansheng Stage without a problem.

But unexpectedly, after searching for a long time, he didn't see a single chaos pearl.

Logically speaking, the entire Dragon King Palace was his space, so finding things was as easy as flipping a hand; he could find them with his Divine Sense.

But those ten chaos pearls had disappeared into thin air, without even a shadow.

"Where did they go? Could they have been stolen? That's impossible!"

Ye Bufan immediately rejected his own guess. The Dragon King Palace was a True Spirit World, and it was impossible to open it without being forcibly taken by anyone.

Even if someone entered, he, as the master, would notice immediately.

As for the other people inside the palace, he had turned this place into an independent space, so others couldn't find it at all, let alone take the chaos pearls.

"How did they just disappear? Who took the chaos pearls?"

Ye Bufan suddenly had an idea; the independent space was not empty.

His gaze fell upon the White-Clothed Woman, and he instantly understood what had happened, feeling a pang of heartache at the same time.

The chaos pearls condensed pure Chaos Qi, and the other party also Cultivated the Chaotic Holy Scripture, with not much difference in their Cultivation methods.

Now she had recovered from severe injuries to this state, her aura many times stronger than before.

Clearly, those ten chaos pearls had all been fully absorbed by her, but they were absorbed while she was in a state of deep sleep, so perhaps she herself didn't even know.

Having found the answer, Ye Bufan's face was filled with black lines, completely unable to describe his feelings at that moment.

He had risked his life to obtain those ten chaos pearls, such abundant resources, yet he hadn't used a single one, and they had all benefited this White-Clothed Woman.

The most crucial thing was that he still didn't know whether the other party was friend or foe.

At this moment, he was filled with regret; why didn't he store them separately, instead of putting them all together?

But regret was useless; they had already been absorbed by this White-Clothed Woman, and there was no way to get them back. He couldn't possibly kill her to vent his anger.

"You really got a bargain. We'll remember this debt and settle it when we get the chance."

Ye Bufan grumbled a sentence to the White-Clothed Woman, then his figure flashed and he left the Dragon King Palace.

Back in his room, he still felt a bit annoyed after thinking about it; he had gone to the Soul Chasing Sword Sect but ended up not getting a single chaos pearl.

Suddenly, his heart stirred, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He didn't have any, but Fifth Little Demon still had some in her hand. Thinking of this, he moved his mind, and the unconscious little girl appeared in the room.
