The dark passage was enveloped in silence, and since stepping into it, the continuous crises had dissipated completely.
Lu Ye leaned against the cave wall, with Nian Yuexian nestled in his embrace, both hurriedly deploying their techniques to recover their energies.
The crunching sound was startlingly out of place in this silent atmosphere.
Nian Yuexian initially paid it little mind but soon realized something was amiss, as the sound was not like chewing on spirit force pills. A quick scan with her Mental Consciousness revealed an expression of surprise.
Because she discovered Lu Ye was actually eating a demonic pill!
"Are you alright?"
How could someone eat a demonic pill? Though quite experienced herself, such a matter was unheard of; a demonic pill indeed contains vast energy, but it is the essence of a demon beast's cultivation, impure and chaotic to a cultivator. Even if it could be refined and absorbed, it would render one's spirit force exceedingly murky.
