Instead of Checking In Regularly: I Hide And Cultivate In The Monster-quelling Tower And Become Invi

Chapter 5: Starving Three Days

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As the medicinal power continued to take effect, Zhou Xuan’s body underwent a transformation.

The soft places became softer and the hard places became harder.

This medicinal effect was stronger than he had imagined. After an hour of meridian cleansing, his physique had already broken through the Silver-grade and reached the Gold-grade.

After removing the filth, his skin became crystal clear like a newborn’s. If Auntie Wang, who was next door, saw this, she would also be envious.

The body was the foundation.

Only a sturdy body could accommodate more power and withstand more damage.

He stood up and realized that there was an additional layer of impurities on his body.

“I need to take a shower,” he said softly.

However, this was the Demon Subduing Pagoda and there was no bathhouse.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he looked at room 7. “Oh right, isn’t there a ready-made one?”

…

After a while, Zhou Xuan opened the heavy door to room 7.

As soon as he opened the door, he heard singing.

The song was melodious and full of magic, making one intoxicated.

The person singing was actually a siren—a mermaid. She had a human head and a fish body, and her face was demonic and charming.

Compared to her, the foxtail demon in room 4 was not even qualified to be her younger sister.

The only person who could compete with her in seductiveness was the legendary vixen.

She soaked in the pool, revealing only her charming face.

At that moment, Zhou Xuan only thought of one person: Flame Spirit Concubine.

She was as gentle as water and extremely charming.

Her voice was full of demonic charm. It was not just moving. It contained a terrifying mental attack that had the effect of hallucinating.

She was originally living in the deep sea, attracting demon hunters with her mellow singing.

Many demon hunters were intoxicated by her singing and were unknowingly hunted down by her, becoming food in her stomach.

Later on, it was the people from the Demon Subduing Academy who took action and suppressed her with a high realm, capturing her.

She had long been a Silver Nine-Star. Her singing could even confuse even more powerful low-grade Gold-tier Demon Hunters.

At that time, she had jokingly called the Demon Hunters “Low-grade Gold dogs”.

This was also why she was so terrifying and why she was so valuable!

Zhou Xuan had already broken through to the Silver Nine-Star realm, but his spiritual power was far inferior to the mermaid’s.

He could not resist the mermaid’s mental attack. He was immersed in the gentle singing and could not extricate himself. His eyes gradually became blurry.

He looked happy, but that was just how it looked.

When the mermaid saw this scene, her eyes glowed with blue light and her smile became even more seductive.

She did not come out of the water. She planned to use her mellow singing to control Zhou Xuan to approach her step by step and then finish him off.

Suddenly, a deafening tiger roar sounded at the door.

“ROAR!”

When she looked again, she didn’t know when the big-headed tiger demon in room 6 had arrived.

It was also a Silver Nine-Star. When it roared with all its might, it had the ability to shake the mountain forest. It directly broke the mermaid’s song and pulled Zhou Xuan back from his lost state.

The Tiger Demon’s Tiger Roar Technique and the Lion Demon’s Lion Roar Technique were one of the few methods to counter the mermaid’s sound attack.

The big-headed tiger demon’s roar just now had caused the mermaid to break her cultivation, which explained everything.

Zhou Xuan came back to his senses and could not help but be shocked. The mental attack of a sea demon mermaid was indeed terrifying.

Mom was right. The more beautiful a creature was, the more dangerous it was.

Fortunately, he was prepared and asked the big-headed tiger demon to help.

The condition was that the next time he attacked, he would not slap the big-headed tiger demon’s face.

The voice of the sea demon mermaid was broken, and her expression instantly changed. With a ferocious expression, she roared at the big-headed tiger demon.

“You brawny and simple-minded hillbilly, you actually became a lackey of the human race. I hope you starve for three days.”

When the big-headed tiger demon heard this, its tiger body trembled. “You’re a dead salted fish. Other than whimpering, you don’t know anything else. You’re just a whimpering monster. Disgusting.”

It was born strong and advocated strength. It liked to fight with its palms on flesh and despised those fancy attacks the most.

Naturally, it also looked down on the sea demons and mermaids.

Because water combat was its weakness, it could not do anything to the sea demons in the sea.

However, it was a different matter here.

“Help me take a bath.” Zhou Xuan took the initiative to walk forward.

With the help of the big-headed tiger demon, he was no longer afraid of the mermaid’s singing.

“Bath your sister!” The mermaid’s voice was hoarse. It was obvious that she was extremely angry.

Mermaids were born charming, and they were often captured by demon hunters and turned into pets.

She hated humans.

She opened her fiery red lips again, sang a song, and launched a mental attack.

However, with a roar from the big-headed tiger demon, her singing stopped abruptly.

“Bastard…” She couldn’t help but curse.

With the big-headed tiger demon around, it was difficult for her mental attacks to work.

However, she did not sit back and wait for death. She circulated her demonic power and attacked again.

With a flick of her tail, seven to eight water pillars spewed out and shot towards Zhou Xuan.

When Zhou Xuan saw this scene, he did not panic. As long as the other party did not sing and it was not a mental attack, he was not afraid.

He used Lightning Steps and easily dodged seven to eight water pillars.

With a swoosh, he appeared in front of the siren mermaid.

“How are you so fast?” The mermaid was shocked.

She only saw that Zhou Xuan’s disguised cultivation level was Silver Four-Stars, but she did not know that Zhou Xuan’s true cultivation level was Silver Nine-Stars.

Zhou Xuan didn’t say anything. His hands moved quickly as he pulled her out of the pool and threw her to the ground.

Her seven-colored scales shone, and she spat out mist from her mouth in an attempt to counterattack.

Zhou Xuan activated his Astral Soul and a Nine Leaf Sword Grass appeared out of thin air.

The Nine Leaf Sword Grass shone and shot out sharp sword-like power, scattering the mist. In the end, it hit the mermaid’s body and cut off a large number of scales.

The mermaid cried out in pain.

“Demon beasts are disobedient. They most likely deserve a beating.” This was the principle that Zhou Xuan followed.

He pressed the sea demon mermaid to the ground and rubbed her on the ground so hard that she bled all over the ground.

At the door, the big-headed tiger demon clapped and cheered. “Good job, good job. You made salted fish cry.”

Its tiger bloodline was noble, and it was the king of all beasts. However, it couldn’t command the sea race, so it naturally wasn’t convinced.

Now that it saw the mermaid, who was a member of the sea race, being ruthlessly rubbed against, it felt extremely good.

If not for Zhou Xuan, it would have pounced on the mermaid and torn her into eight pieces.

After Zhou Xuan’s abuse, the mermaid was finally convinced.

She dragged her exhausted body and obediently helped Zhou Xuan wash up.

“From now on, you will be my personal scrubber.” Zhou Xuan laid in the pool with a look of enjoyment on his face.

“Yes.” The mermaid bit her lip and agreed with tears in her eyes.

At the door, the big-headed tiger demon couldn’t help but smack his lips when he saw this scene. “You really know how to enjoy yourself.”

It had also seen a few students who came here to do odd jobs, but it had never seen anyone like Zhou Xuan.

Anyone who dared to touch its butt was definitely a ruthless person. It made a decision in its heart that it would follow Zhou Xuan from now on.

“If I acknowledge him as my big brother, at least I won’t starve for three days, right?” It muttered in its heart.

Zhou Xuan took a comfortable shower and washed away the impurities. He felt relaxed.

Tomorrow, he planned to sign in on this mermaid. He did not know what he would get.
