Outside the prison, the demons could only hear the cries of the little fox, unable to see what was happening inside.

"That... that person was ordered by the demon suppressor to..."

"Shh, silence!"

"Aren't you afraid the demon suppressor left some spell behind? How many lives do you have to dare gossip like this?"

The commotion from the little fox's cell sparked whispers and discussions among the demons in the prison.

...

Boom!

A surge of fire spiritual energy flooded into Lin Hao's cell.

Unable to absorb it all, the spiritual energy accumulated, growing increasingly violent.

The rampant fire spiritual energy continuously battered the prison's formation, exciting the other demons who saw it as a chance to escape.

But before they could act, Han Liyue flew in, her beautiful eyes flashing with golden light. She softly commanded, "Seal!"

Immediately, the protective formations of each cell were activated, and a thousand flying swords patrolled the prison.

Wherever the sword light reached, the demons bowed their heads.

After controlling the scene, Han Liyue investigated the source of the disturbance.

The cell was filled with violent fire spiritual energy, which amazed her.

Meanwhile.

Lin Hao had regained clarity. After absorbing the little fox's Primordial Yin, he had suppressed the fire within him. To his surprise, he found himself at the peak of the Foundation Establishment early stage, not expecting such a great benefit from the little fox.

Moreover, he felt there was more to gain. Sensing the cell still brimming with violent fire spiritual energy, he quickly sat down to cultivate.

He could use this to break through to the mid Foundation Establishment stage!

As Lin Hao meditated and absorbed with all his might, the rampant fire spiritual energy in the cell surged towards him like a flood, being absorbed into his dantian.

The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.

"Break through for me!"

Lin Hao shouted in his heart.

Then he felt the spiritual power within him break through a barrier, racing into a wider path.

All the fire spiritual energy in the cell was absorbed, and the cell returned to calm. At this moment, the little fox, who had fainted from the ordeal, slowly regained consciousness.

Recalling what had just happened, she glared fiercely at the man meditating.

Clang!

Her slender fingers sprouted sharp claws, flashing with a cold gleam.

She wanted to take advantage of Lin Hao's meditation to slit his throat with her claws!

But... when her claws were at his throat, she hesitated.

She retained a sliver of rationality, knowing this man had considerable strength and likely held a significant position in the sect, only punished to be here for some mistake. Killing him would not end well for her.

Her claws retracted, and she merely watched the man coldly.

"Hey, you filthy human, are you really meditating, or just pretending?"

Lin Hao had actually been awake for a while, digesting the benefits of dual cultivation with the little fox, with a strand of his divine sense monitoring the outside.

He saw all of the little fox's actions, from showing her claws to retracting them.

This little fox actually held back. Lin Hao's lips curled into a smile, recalling their earlier entanglement, finding it absurd.

Humans and demons were on different paths; what kind of trouble had he gotten himself into!

Just as he was about to end his meditation.

Suddenly, the cell door opened.

Han Liyue entered, seeing Lin Hao in tattered clothes, sitting in the corner, her brows furrowed instantly.

With a wave of her delicate hand, a white ribbon flew out, striking the little fox and slamming her against the stone wall of the cell.

Pfft!

The little fox spat out a mouthful of blood, her face pale as paper, glaring fiercely at Han Liyue.

"Beast, dare to harm a disciple of the Xuan Yin Sect? Believe it or not, I'll skin you alive."

A golden pair of scissors appeared in Han Liyue's hand, trailing spiritual energy as they flew towards the little fox.

Seeing things getting out of control, Lin Hao pretended to just wake up, using a golden light talisman to block Han Liyue's attack.

"Lin Hao, are you alright?"

Seeing him awake, Han Liyue temporarily stopped pursuing the little fox, instead sending a strand of divine sense to check Lin Hao's injuries, only to find he was unharmed, making her expression turn peculiar.

The little fox gritted her silver teeth, cursing, "Filthy human, you're finally awake!"

Lin Hao ignored the little fox's fury, instead diverting attention, "Elder Han, when did you arrive?"

Han Liyue's gaze was deep, her red lips parting slightly, "Just now. I sensed a violent fire spiritual energy from outside the cell..."

"Lin Hao, what exactly happened?"

Uh...

Lin Hao thought Elder Han could probably guess what had happened, but since she didn't spell it out, he wouldn't foolishly explain.

"Nothing much. Just a little mishap during cultivation, and this demon helped out a bit."

Helped out a bit? More like a hundred times! The little fox was full of resentment, but in front of the always stern Elder Han, she dared not speak much.

"As long as you're alright..."

Han Liyue's gaze lingered on the little fox's thigh, saying softly, "Demons are best at beguiling hearts, don't fall for its tricks. The cell is not a place to linger. If you're fine, let's leave."

Han Liyue pulled out a stack of paper figures from her storage bag, blowing on them. The figures grew in the wind, becoming indistinguishable from ordinary people.

Under Han Liyue's control, these paper figures immediately began repairing the damaged cell, including the door that had flown off and the weakened protective formation.

After the two left, the little fox returned to her true form, her furry paws leaving three deep claw marks on the divine iron cell door.

Filthy human, I've never suffered such a loss!

Just wait, when this lady gets out, I'll surely avenge this!

...

Back at his residence.

Lin Hao looked inside his dantian, discovering the spiritual liquid had transformed from a small pond into a small lake.

He couldn't help but marvel at the benefits from the ordeal with the little fox, equivalent to cultivating with a hundred Qi Refining female cultivators.

The effect was truly extraordinary!

So powerful it was unbelievable!

Taking advantage of the lingering benefits of dual cultivation, Lin Hao cleared his mind of distractions, focusing on meditation and cultivation.

With his physique, without the interference of evil fire, he could cultivate much faster than ordinary cultivators.

Han Liyue's divine sense, sensing the vortex of fire spiritual energy forming at Lin Hao's residence, was shocked, her chest heaving.

No wonder Zhan'er lost so badly; this boy is blessed with great opportunities!

A hidden dragon in the depths, once it shows its claws, will surely cause a stir!

She couldn't help but feel fortunate for maintaining a good relationship with him, thinking to take better care of him in the future, as she might rely on him someday.

With her thoughts clear, she retracted her divine sense, preparing to make a round in the prison, ensuring all demons aware of today's events kept their mouths shut!
