Chapter 85 - The Gluttonous Ling Lei.
After killing and absorbing the blood and the life essence of Wang Li, Ling Chen put his dried corpse inside his inter-spatial ring without wasting any time.
Right now, there was no trace of Wang Li left behind, and Ling Chen had completely assumed his identity. At this moment, the only thing that was on his mind was how to save Fang Lan and Hu\'er and make the Supreme Sword Dao Sect know the consequences of messing with him.
Ling Chen didn\'t want to openly attack the Supreme Sword Dao Sect before he was able to save both Fang Lan and Hu\'er because he didn\'t want those old geezers to use them as hostages to threaten him.
While trying to come up with a way to save both Fang Lan and Hu\'er without alerting the enemy.
"Ohh Shit, I forgot about Ling Lei." Blurted out Ling Chen with a worrying expression on his face.
Without wasting any time, he quickly hopped into the bed and sat in a meditative stance. After calming himself down and adjust his breathing, he dove within his sea consciousness.
Within his sea of consciousness which was nothing but a never-ending white space with a huge dark tree in the middle, Ling Chen saw the butt naked Ling Lei that was trying to climb onto the dark tree.
" Little Lei." Shouted Ling Chen with a concerned voice.
The moment Ling Lei heard Ling Chen\'s voice, he quickly turned around and saw Ling Chen\'s projection not too far away from him. His face was suddenly beaming with happiness.
With an innocent and happy smile on his face, he quickly crawled toward Ling Chen in a flash while yelling ." Mama, food."
Listening to Ling Lei\'s words, Ling Chen felt as though his heart was being stabbed by a thousand needles. He was feeling hurt as well as guilty for leaving Ling Lei in this empty white place by himself with nothing.
Till now, he still hasn\'t feed Ling Lei. Not that he didn\'t try, but Ling Lei couldn\'t eat or didn\'t want to eat the same food as a regular human. On the way to the Supreme Sword Dao Sect, Ling Chen had stopped and picked countless tasty fruits in the forest. However, Ling Lei refused to eat them.
Ling Chen didn\'t know if it was because of Ling Lei\'s weird body. Unlike a regular human, Ling Lei didn\'t have any dantians or meridians.
"Mama, food." Yelled out Ling Lei again when he arrived in front of Ling Chen\'s projection while pointing his finger at the remaining five fruits of creation hanging in one of the branches of the dark tree.
"No, Little Lei. These aren\'t foods, they are your unborn little brothers and sisters."
"Sorry for keeping you here by yourself. Let\'s go outside, big brother will give you plenty of food to eat." After saying that, with a single thought, Ling Chen brought Ling Lei out of his sea of consciousness to the real world.
Inside the cave mansion, Ling Chen sat on the bed while holding little Lei in his arms.
" You must have very lonely by yourself." Ling Chen said while patting Little Lei\'s head.
While Ling Chen was unable to bring anything from the outside world to his sea of consciousness or his lower-dantian, it wasn\'t the case with Ling Lei.
After leaving the Grey Wolf Village, Ling Chen was worried about what to do with Ling Lei because he couldn\'t just bring him along into the Supreme Sword Dao Sect while trying to save Fang Lan and Hu\'er.
After racking his brain to find a solution, he decided to try and see if he could bring Ling Lei back into his consciousness. He didn\'t even think that it was going to work because he had tried to bring other stuff into his lower-dantian and his sea of consciousness many times, and it didn\'t work.
To his surprise, he discovered that he could bring Ling Lei into the white space within his sea consciousness freely which was a huge discovery for him.
It was because of this that he was able to freely infiltrate the Supreme Sword Dao Sect without any worry.
Feeling Ling Chen\'s hand rubbing his head, Ling Lei suddenly closed his eyes as he was enjoying the feeling of having his head being patted by his mama with a huge smile on his face as though he was a little cat.
" Wait a moment, big brother Chen will give you tons of food now"
With that, Ling Chen placed the well-behaved Ling Lei into the bed while he took out a bunch of things from his inter-spatial ring and placed them on the bed.
There were medicinal pills, one or two spiritual fruits, and a 5th rank demon beast core. These were the things that Ling Chen has taken from Wang Li\'s inter-spatial ring after he had killed him.
Ling Chen figured that if Ling Lei didn\'t like to eat regular food, maybe he was more into things that were filled with true Qi energy just like Hu\'er.
He had already realized that Ling Lei had the same power as himself. The power to devour one\'s blood and life essence to increase his strength. And unlike him, Ling Lei wasn\'t born with a human body. Though he looked similar to that of a human, he was a completely different species or race.
One could even say that Ling Lei was the perfect version of Ling Chen or the being that Ling Chen was supposed to be born as.
The moment Ling Lei saw these things on the bed, he quickly pounced towards them like a cheetah.
Ka Cha! ka cha!
The next moment, all Ling Chen could hear was a Kacha sound as Ling Lei was gulping down everything that was on the bed.
Whether it was the Restoration True Qi pills, True Qi stones, Spiritual Fruits, Ling Lei ate them all. Even the fifth rank demon beast core didn\'t escape his grasp.
Looking at Ling Lei eating everything single thing on the bed, Ling Chen suddenly thought about the gluttonous Hu\'er. At the same time, he was wondering what kinda that teeth did Ling Lei possess to be able to crush True Qi stones and Demon beast core as though they were candies.
After eating all the medicinal pills, True Qi stones, and the spiritual fruits on the bed, Ling Lei suddenly fell asleep.
"I guess you are full now." Ling Chen said before he brought Ling Lei into the white space within his sea of consciousness with a single thought.
"Now, it\'s time to take care of the Supreme Sword Dao Sect as well as saving Fang Lan and Hu\'er." Ling Chen said he got off from the bed and sat crossed leg on the floor in the middle of the cave mansion while closing his eyes.
Swoosh!
The next moment, a huge red magic rune suddenly appeared inside the cave mansion with Ling Chen in the middle. At the same time, the ground beneath the cave mansion shook violently as though something was trying to drill into the ground.
The slight tremor continued for a second or two before it finally stopped and the huge red magic rune disappeared at the same time.
