Bai Lin was instantly furious. Gather a hundred demons into the list? Including him? Of course, he had no objection to collecting other demons. But reserving the central position for him—that was unacceptable. Any existence that challenged him should not exist. Bai Lin stepped back two paces, staring at the vine-like prohibition that kept extending outward, his gaze growing colder. Trying to absorb his demonic power? Dream on! He flipped his hands, building up his demonic energy field. But the energy of the Hundred Demons List was stronger; no matter how much he gathered, it was instantly drained away. He frowned and launched the first attack at lightning speed, aiming at a nearby vine. The blue demonic flame pierced through the vine instantly—but there was no result. The green vine only trembled once; the wound healed quickly. Then it swung again, continuing to stretch and crawl, adding more material to the net that would trap him. Bai Lin's face darkened. His demonic power, carrying ancient energy, could scorch even the strongest demons. Yet this so-called Hundred Demons List remained unscathed. Such powerful and eerie strength was the first he had encountered since his 'awakening.' He gritted his molars, stretched his arms slightly, and blue flames instantly covered his entire body, entering a fully loaded attack state for the first time. Holding his breath and concentrating, fierce flames erupted from both his hands—intensely hot blue flames. The vines seemed to sense his movements. After a brief pause, they multiplied in an instant, clustering tightly together like a giant hand that could blot out the sky, and slammed fiercely toward Bai Lin! As the dark shadow rushed forth, Bai Lin's gaze sharpened. He clenched his fists, and the flames on his body turned into two ferocious fire dragons, shooting like lightning toward the center of the vine hand! Meanwhile, Huangfu Jun, lying asleep in the sea of flowers, suddenly felt a stabbing pain in her chest. The pain was so sharp that she instantly opened her eyes. She sat up abruptly, clutching her chest, gasping for air. The stabbing sensation at her heart inexplicably disappeared. After catching her breath, she lowered her hand, looked around in shock, and examined her surroundings. Her pupils contracted. Where was this? All around were walls—no doors, no windows—just empty white walls painted a ghastly white. She clearly remembered being in a sea of flowers. How had the scene changed so suddenly? Now she was in a strange room with nothing but stark white walls and a bed, no furniture at all. Before she could figure it out, a dazzling white light flashed before her eyes. Huangfu Jun's vision went white, blinded by the light. She turned her face away, closed her eyes, and waited for a moment before opening them again. The beam of light dissipated, revealing a figure. A dark expression, silver hair glinting coldly, a stark black minimalist combat suit—cold and murderous. Huangfu Jun blinked uncomfortably. 'C-Captain Bai? What's wrong with you?' She suddenly remembered the sea demon she had absorbed into her energy field. Throwing off the covers, she got out of bed to find her shoes. 'Is there a problem with the sea demon? Is the mission not going smoothly? And how did I end up here?' Hearing this, Bai Lin's face grew even darker. He ground his teeth and said with inexplicable harshness, 'No problem. It's going very smoothly.' Huangfu Jun: '...' What was wrong with Bai Lin? He looked like someone had raided his nest, full of grievance and hatred. Bai Lin let out a light snort. 'This is my office.' Huangfu Jun then realized. A big white room with only a bed and nothing else—that was indeed Captain Bai Lin's office. Bai Lin turned his back to her, his tone strangely cold. 'I found an answer.' Huangfu Jun, still putting on her shoes, looked up in confusion. 'What answer?' Bai Lin gave a cold laugh. 'The truth behind your demonic power coming and going.' Huangfu Jun stood up in surprise. 'What truth?' Bai Lin glanced sideways coldly. 'You need to eat demons, absorb their power for your own. Eat a hundred of them to awaken your demonic power. Not only will it awaken, but it will also break the balance restriction between a half-demon's lifespan and demonic power.' Huangfu Jun: '...' That sounded strangely disgusting. 'But... but I've never eaten any demons before.' She was skeptical. Bai Lin turned slightly, his cold gaze sweeping over her. After a moment, the corner of his mouth curled into a contemptuous smile. 'So that's why you were so weak before.' Huangfu Jun's mouth twitched. 'Alright,' she said, as if reluctantly accepting the idea. She couldn't help stepping forward to press further. 'Then how do I eat them? Does the Monster Bureau allow me to eat demons? Will I become that powerful after eating demons?' The veins on Bai Lin's forehead were faintly visible. He glanced at her sideways, gave a cold laugh, but didn't answer anything. With a sudden burst of white smoke, his figure completely vanished. He would never tell her what he had just experienced. Nor would he tell her the true purpose behind his words.
