Heaven Devourer Chapter 268

Mo Fan furrowed his brows slightly, suspecting that demon cultivators from Black Water River had followed the spring pool to this place. How else could he explain the destruction of the dragon loach cages?

However, Big Head looked helplessly at Ying Ying on Mo Fan’s shoulder and said with a wry smile, “My King, this was all caused by that little guy on your shoulder.”

“What?” Mo Fan was stunned, turning to look at the innocent-looking Ying Ying.

“It happened like this. I was cultivating the dragon loaches here daily as per your orders, everything was fine. But last night, while I was cultivating, this little guy broke the cages and ate all the dragon loaches. What you saw next was me chasing after him with great effort,” Big Head explained.

“So that’s what happened. I thought some other demon had invaded,” Mo Fan said, relieved. “This isn’t your fault.”

He then turned to Ying Ying, who was hanging his head as if aware of his mistake, and asked, “Why did you eat those dragon loaches?”

“Daddy, I didn’t steal them. This fish-head is framing me,” Ying Ying pouted. “I ate those little fish while he was right here, so it’s not stealing. I ate them fair and square.”

“You…!” Big Head fumed, clearly provoked by the accusation.

“Alright, it’s not a big deal. They’re eaten, and I’m not blaming you. But why did you eat them?” Mo Fan interrupted, stopping their glaring match.

“Daddy, I don’t know why, I just really wanted to eat them. And after eating those little fish, I felt stronger,” Ying Ying said in his childish voice.

Stronger? Mo Fan blinked at the words.

“This little guy was born from dragon loaches devouring each other and evolving. Apart from eating spirit stones initially, the loaches did indeed consume one another later. It seems Ying Ying was driven by his bloodline instincts to eat the dragon loaches for his own evolution. So, his evolution comes from consuming them?” Mo Fan quickly formed a theory, not entirely certain but fairly confident.

With this in mind, he opened his mouth and spat out a pile of low-grade spirit stones.

As expected, the moment the stones appeared, Ying Ying eagerly stretched his head forward, sucking them all into his mouth.

Then, Mo Fan heard a crunching sound as Ying Ying chewed and swallowed all the spirit stones.

“This little guy’s teeth are that strong?” Mo Fan was surprised, while Big Head stood dumbfounded.

Spirit stones were uniquely tough, far harder than regular stones, comparable even to steel.

Yet Ying Ying had bitten through and swallowed them in a few bites, which was astonishing.

More importantly, Mo Fan wondered how the little creature could digest so many spirit stones.

But recalling that dragon loaches had been fed spirit stones from the start, he understood.

Though seemingly weak, dragon loaches could chew and digest spirit stones that even Demon Generals couldn’t handle.

The natural rules of this world were truly fascinating.

Mo Fan marvelled briefly before noticing Ying Ying floating in front of him, staring intently.

“Want more spirit stones?” Mo Fan chuckled.

“Daddy, I found that these spirit stones make me feel good. If you have more, let me try some,” Ying Ying said eagerly.

Mo Fan didn’t rush to produce more stones. Instead, he asked curiously, “You said eating the dragon loaches made you stronger. What about these spirit stones? Do they give you any special feelings?”

“Special feelings… let me think…” Ying Ying tilted his head, closing his eyes as if sensing something. After a moment, he opened them and said, “I feel it. After eating the spirit stones, a big cloud of mist forms in my body, making me feel all warm and cozy. And I found this mist lets me change size whenever I want.”

“Mist… that must be a sea of spiritual energy,” Mo Fan thought, realising the spirit stones served as energy for Ying Ying’s transformations.

This reminded him of when Ying Ying grew to ten zhang to fight the Monkey King in the Land of Immortal Fall.

Understanding this, Mo Fan spat out a mid-grade fire spirit stone for Ying Ying to try.

He was a bit nervous, as this wasn’t an ordinary wood spirit stone. Its spiritual energy was not gentle but violently intense.

Even he didn’t dare absorb the fire spirit stone’s energy, as it could burn his body.

“Huh, this stone feels different. The energy inside is much stronger than the others,” Ying Ying said, eyeing the floating mid-grade fire spirit stone curiously.

“Correct, this is a mid-grade fire spirit stone, containing fire spiritual energy. It’s very dangerous. First, sense it to see if you can handle it, then…” Before Mo Fan could finish, Ying Ying popped the stone into his mouth and began crunching it.

This left Mo Fan and Big Head speechless, though more shocked than anything.

“You… you just ate it like that?” Mo Fan stared, almost in disbelief.

“Daddy, didn’t you give it to me to eat?” Ying Ying asked, confused, before suddenly yelping, “Ah!”

“What’s wrong?” Mo Fan, alarmed, thought the fire energy had erupted in Ying Ying’s body and prepared to help.

“Daddy, this stone isn’t tasty. It’s spicy in my throat,” Ying Ying whined, frowning.

“Uh…” Mo Fan paused, asking, “Just spicy? Are you okay?”

“I’m fine, doing great,” Ying Ying giggled, twirling in the water. “It feels like there’s a fire in my belly.”

Suddenly, Ying Ying opened his mouth toward Big Head, and a wisp of flame shot out, engulfing him instantly.

Under the water’s suppression, the flame quickly extinguished.

When Mo Fan looked at Big Head, the latter’s face was pale, clearly terrified.

“My King, this little pest bullied me. He did it on purpose. You have to stand up for me. That was so scary, I almost didn’t see you again,” Big Head wailed, genuinely frightened. It took Mo Fan’s reassurance to calm him.

The real clincher was Ying Ying’s sudden outburst, “Shut up, ugly fish-head. If you tattle to my daddy again, I’ll roast you like a red-braised fish.”

“…”
