“Come!” Chen Xing’s face revealed an expectant expression. “Embrace of the Demon!”

As the words fell, a powerful burst of energy erupted from Zero’s center. Chen Xing was suddenly startled. The intense energy directly overturned the sofa with him sitting on it!

“Oh no…”

The large glass floor-to-ceiling window in the living room cracked densely from the impact of this energy. Fortunately, the glass had been specially treated, so it wouldn’t shatter into shards. The pieces remained connected, without falling off. It must be said that having an expensive house is indeed good. Otherwise, the grandpas and grandmas leisurely strolling downstairs would definitely get a scare.

“Zero?”

“Chen Xing…” Zero’s voice sounded, though she was right in front of him, he felt as if the voice was ethereal and distant.

As if it came from the heavens!

After the dissipation of the energy, the clothes she was originally wearing had fallen off, revealing the original demonic armor. Her body appeared translucent.

She looked like a semi-transparent spirit.

She opened her arms, with a gentle smile on her face, and floated towards him.

Chen Xing wanted to see this smile for a lifetime. Subconsciously, he reached out his hand, wanting to embrace Zero.

However, he didn’t touch anything!

He looked at Zero in astonishment as she passed through him with her ethereal body. She smiled gently: “I love you…” In her spirit form, she lightly kissed his thin lips.

Chen Xing still felt nothing.

The next moment, Zero in her spirit form… was sucked into his mouth! More accurately, she entered his body.

Immediately, an even stronger burst of energy spread out with Chen Xing as the center. Even his clothes were directly blasted into pieces!

“Crack!”

The glass that had been shattered by Zero earlier finally couldn’t bear it. It didn’t completely shatter, but the entire glass panel was shaking, as if it would fall off the building in the next second.

Chen Xing couldn’t move at all now, experiencing excruciating pain throughout his body. The red patterns that were on Zero’s body earlier also spread all over his body! And two demon horns rapidly grew on top of his head.

During the growth process, the intense headache almost made Chen Xing faint!

His skin also developed layers of crimson scales like armor. Chen Xing’s hands and feet had transformed into demonic claws! Every inch of his skin was covered in crimson scales, even his face.

His demonic form was completely different from Zero’s! He looked extremely daunting. Just how a demon should look!

The two demon horns on top of his head were even longer than Zero’s horns, by more than a point.

【 Chen Xing!? 】

San’er couldn’t help but shout.

Even he didn’t know how Chen Xing had turned into this. He hadn’t detected any demon blood within Chen Xing! So how did he become a demon?

Suddenly, he understood!

In essence, Zero was still a Spirit User. Her ability was similar to the spirit form of Gu Meow Meow and Yun Xinghai. Except, Gu Meow Meow turned into a cat, while Zero turned Chen Xing into the Demon King!

Finally, the huge floor-to-ceiling window that was teetering fell! The strong wind from the 52nd floor rushed into the room.

Chen Xing coldly looked at his hands, which had turned into demonic claws, and then looked outside. At that moment, the massive glass window was descending. He reacted instantly, leaping off from the 52nd floor!

In mid-air, he descended in the position with the least resistance. “…Couldn’t you have just told me? Why jump off the building?”

He said because the falling glass window suddenly disappeared.

In Chen Xing’s system inventory, there was now one more item: “Shattered glass window.”

“Why didn’t we talk earlier? Wasn’t this kind of thing not allowed before?” He was referring to the numerous assassins who used hidden weapons at the Assassin Star.

At first, Chen Xing couldn’t dodge them and kept getting injured. He asked San’er to help retrieve those hidden weapons directly into the system space. But San’er said it wasn’t possible!

【 The principle of the system is: to provide the host with a good new life experience without excessive interference. 】

“What counts as excessive?”

【 For example, if someone shoots at you and you can’t dodge it, and you ask me to save you, that’s definitely not allowed. 】

“…”

【 But if you shoot a gun and suddenly regret it, wanting to retract the bullet, then I can do that. 】

“I understand. So, if I’m about to die, you won’t interfere.”

【 No 】

It’s not that he didn’t want to interfere, but he really couldn’t! All judgments had to go through the main system of the headquarters. So even if San’er wanted to intervene and save Chen Xing, he couldn’t.

As they were talking, Chen Xing’s descent speed became faster and faster.

“Uh…” Zero, inside Chen Xing, looked at the ground getting closer and felt a bit scared.

“Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”

In the blink of an eye, the ground was right in front of them!

Chen Xing’s face was rushing downwards, and just a second before kissing the ground, he suddenly flipped over.

“DONG!”

He smashed into a large pit several meters in diameter.

The loud impact echoed throughout the Serene Haven City!

The elderly couple several meters away from him looked at Chen Xing standing in the pit with a horrified expression. He now looked like a devil, even though he was a demon.

The old man trembled and extended his finger. His mouth slightly opened, revealing a shiny golden false tooth.

“I… I… ? This young man! You’re so cool”

“Geese~”

The woman beside the old man rolled her eyes and fainted directly.

“Hey! What’s wrong, Xiaohong!” The old man, though old, was very agile! He immediately held onto the unconscious woman, and at a glance, it was evident that he was a Spirit Master too.

His Xiaohong might be his Spirit User!

Chen Xing, however, looked at the two elderly people casually.

“You didn’t scare them to death, did you?” He was asking San’er.

“They’re not dead. S-rank Spirit Masters don’t die that easily. It’s just that they’re old, so they’re easily startled.”

“Wow!”

“Ah! It’s a ghost!” Suddenly, a girl screamed.

Chen Xing frowned and looked at her.

“Ah! Help!” When she saw Chen Xing looking at her, she was frightened and immediately ran away while screaming.

With Chen Xing’s current appearance, he did look quite intimidating. However, advanced Spirit Masters or Spirit Users would certainly find this appearance quite cool. Like that old man!

“I suggest you go back quickly. The Demon’s Embrace can only last for three minutes. After three minutes, you will fall into a coma.”

“Alright!”

After saying that, Chen Xing bent his legs and then exerted force forcefully.

“BOOM!” He deepened the pit even further.

Then, like a rocket, he shot into the sky.

His speed was extremely fast! But when passing by the 52nd floor, his body flipped. He flipped back into the room through the falling window. He reached the 52nd floor with just one leap.

In this form, Chen Xing felt that he had even regained 50% of his peak strength!

Back in the room, he walked directly into the bathroom and observed himself. “Tsk… so handsome!”

【 Do you have any self-awareness? 】

“The amplification from the Demon’s Embrace is really powerful! I feel like I’ve at least recovered half of my strength.”

【 More or less, your peak combat power in this world should be around 2.7 million. 】

“2.7 million? Wasn’t it mentioned before as 1 million+?”

【 That was referring to the level of an S-rank Spirit Master. It didn’t specify the exact combat power value. It was just your subconscious assumption. 】

“Oh, I see.”

【 Now, after the amplification from the Demon’s Embrace, your combat power is approximately 1.4 million, reaching the level of an S-rank Spirit Master directly. 】

“Almost doubled?”

【 However, the side effects are really significant, and the time is about to end! 】

“How weak will I be in the weakened state?”

【 I don’t know either. There are 10 seconds left. 】

After hearing that, Chen Xing returned directly to the living room and lay down on the sofa. The strong wind was blowing into the room, creating a refreshing feeling.

“3, 2, 1!”

In the instant the countdown ended.

Chen Xing’s brain felt as if it had been struck heavily, and his consciousness instantly became blurred. A sense of exhaustion swept through every cell in his body, leaving him completely drained of strength.

He hadn’t felt this way in a long time, like the exhaustion one feels after intense battles for several days and nights!

Chen Xing’s demon horns, crimson scale armor, and demon claws all disappeared without a trace. Then he felt his body become heavy, and Zero suddenly appeared on top of him.

With closed eyelids and light breathing, Zero peacefully lay on him. Her small hand was placed near his mouth, like a little kitten sleeping on its owner. She immediately fell into a deep sleep.

Chen Xing felt the cool touch of Zero’s skin against his. Suddenly, he realized…

When Zero transforms, her clothes disappear…

He ended up in a state of bursting clothes earlier…

Their skin was tightly pressed together now!

Unfortunately, Chen Xing didn’t even have the strength to move a finger, let alone lower his head to look. His eyelids became heavier and heavier, but he forced himself to stay awake with sheer willpower.

However, his head grew increasingly heavy. In the end, he fell into a deep sleep.

【 Tsk… Not suitable for children, not suitable for children… 】

“Whoosh~”

A thick blanket covered the two of them completely…
