With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

After the death energy gathered inside of the lily, the concentrated death energy in the air disappeared.

The moles also realized that there was nothing left for them here, so they just took one last look at Huang Xie before disappearing into the ground. It didn't take long before all traces of them disappeared as they moved through the ground.

Huang Xie didn't care about the moles from beginning to end.

All he cared about was the lily that he was currently holding.

This lily had settled and now had a strange black mist around it that seemed like the mist of death. But anyone that had a certain amount of knowledge knew that this was nothing more than concentrated death energy.

This was the excess death energy that had been absorbed by the lily when it had been harvested, which is why it took the form of this black mist around the lily.

After looking at the lily for a bit, Huang Xie suddenly turned around and walked back over to where Lin Fan was.

When Lin Fan saw him come over, he said, "I'll protect you while you refine it. Don't worry and just refine it here."

But Huang Xie didn't listen to Lin Fan.

Instead, he walked over to Xiao Ming with the lily in hand and brought it up as if he was offering it to her before saying, "Senior sister, it would be better for you to absorb this lily. It works better with your physique than with mine."

Lin Fan slightly knitted his brows since he knew that Huang Xie wasn't telling the whole truth.

With his Appraisal Eyes, he was able to see the truth behind this Death Lily.

With the concentration of death energy in it, it was actually good for anyone with a special physique, not just Huang Xie. But there were certain things about it that made it as good for Xiao Ming as it was for Huang Xie.

So he wasn't lying, but he also wasn't telling the whole truth.

Xiao Ming didn't say anything as she just looked at the Death Lily in silence.

Huang Xie also didn't say anything as he just held it up in front of him for her to take.

There was this awkward silence that filled the air as the two of them stood there, completely ignoring everyone else that was here. That included Lin Fan and the other two trapped in bubbles of Clear Water.

The way that He Chun Hua looked at the Death Lily really seemed like she wanted to take it for herself, but she couldn't do that since she was trapped in the bubble.

The way that Zhao Ling Jun looked at Huang Xie was as if she was sad that he didn't offer the Death Lily to her.

And Lin Fan…found this funny, so there was a faint smile on his lips.

He had been watching the relationship between his two disciples grow, but it really seemed like there wasn't much progress between them. Whether it was because they were both a bit slow or if there was too much outside interference, it seemed like their relationship didn't progress much.

There was a long moment of silence that lingered in the air before Xiao Ming suddenly reached out to take the Death Lily from Huang Xie.

Huang Xie's expression relaxed a bit when he saw Xiao Ming take the Death Lily, but then a surprised look appeared on his face.

That was because he didn't expect Xiao Ming to suddenly bring the Death Lily up to his face. Before he could even react to what was happening, the Death Lily was already in his mouth.

Huang Xie had no choice but to swallow since Xiao Ming had even put her hand over his mouth and nose, forcing him to eat it or he wouldn't be able to breathe.

The look in her eyes was serious, she might actually choke him if he didn't swallow it.

So Huang Xie had no choice but to swallow the Death Lily.

"Why?" That was what he asked after he swallowed it.

Xiao Ming calmly said, "If I wanted it for myself, I would have gotten it for myself. We came here for you and you're the one that obtained it, so naturally you're the one that will use it."

She narrowed her eyes to look at Huang Xie before adding, "Or are you saying that you don't think that I can get this on my own."

A trace of bitterness appeared in Huang Xie's lips, but he didn't get to say anything in the end.

It wasn't that he didn't want to say anything, it was just that he couldn't say anything as a burst of death energy came from his body. It took the form of a swirl of dark energy around him.

Huang Xie had no choice but to close his eyes and focus on refining it.

Xiao Ming also moved away from him, but she didn't move too far away. She stood there as if she was prepared to protect him if something happened.

Lin Fan shook his head with a faint smile before saying, "Like I said, just focus on refining the Death Lily and don't worry about anything else."

Huang Xie didn't open his eyes, but he did give a slight nod in response to what Lin Fan said.

Lin Fan shook his head with another faint smile before casually raising his hand.

There was this mist that appeared in the area around them that seemed to hide them away.

Xiao Ming looked at Lin Fan with a surprised look when this mist appeared, but he didn't say anything as he went back to sit down in the chair that he brought out. Sitting there, he just calmly watched over Huang Xie as he waited to see what would happen.

The dark energy that wrapped around Huang Xie didn't last long before it disappeared.

It was as if it had been absorbed into Huang Xie with the way that it suddenly disappeared, but the look on Huang Xie's face didn't disappear. It looked like he was struggling with something as he absorbed this dark energy.

After a long time, it finally seemed to relax a bit as there was a layer of green light that appeared around him.

It was just that this layer of green light was completely different from before.

This layer of green light was stronger than any of the green light barriers that he released before.

With the way that it was, it almost as if it had taken form. It looked like a layer of glass that was around Huang Xie with that way that it wrapped around him.

Though there was no mistaking the power that came from it.

It seemed that the power of Huang Xie's physique had increased again, so it was hard to imagine just how strong his defenses were now. At the same time, it felt like there was something special about his defenses now.

But that wasn't the end of it.

"Ah!" Huang Xie suddenly roared out before a swirl of spiritual energy appeared around him.

The Death Lily really had a strong effect on him as it directly made him break through to the next level of his cultivation.

Huang Xie directly reached the Peak Foundation Realm with this and was just a step behind Xiao Ming. If it wasn't for the fact that she had broken through to the Qi Condensing Realm right before this trip, then he would have been at the same level as her.

Lin Fan could only say as expected of the Heaven's Chosen with the speed that he broke through.

Though he did have to wonder how his first disciple Xiao Ming was able to keep up with Huang Xie in the first place.

Was it just because they had been putting everything in her or was it because of something else?

But when he looked at her with the Appraisal Eyes, he hadn't seen anything special about Xiao Ming.

So Lin Fan really couldn't understand how Xiao Ming managed to keep up with Huang Xie's cultivation like this.

After breaking through, Huang Xie took a moment to gather himself before suddenly opening his eyes.

The first person that he looked at was Xiao Ming.

The way that he looked at her was almost as if he was waiting for her approval.

But Xiao Ming didn't say anything in the end as she suddenly turned around and started walking away.

An awkward look appeared on Huang Xie's face when he saw this, but he turned to Lin Fan after this and said, "Master, I've broken through."

Lin Fan gave a simple nod of approval before saying, "There's no rush, stabilize yourself a bit more before we move out."

Huang Xie gave a nod in response before closing his eyes once more and started adjusting himself.

Lin Fan didn't sell Xiao Ming out when she turned around to leave.

Even though she thought that she had hid her emotions well enough, his sharp eyes hadn't missed it.

There was a blush on her face when she turned away from Huang Xie.

Huang Xie's breakthrough had refined his body, so it had also changed his appearance to a certain extent.

He did get more handsome after his physique and cultivation improved, so that was most likely what Xiao Ming was being shy over.

Lin Fan couldn't help smiling to himself.

It seemed that the relationship between his disciples wasn't as shallow as he thought it was.

It seemed that they had become closer over time.
