<h4>Chapter 48 - 48: Assimtion and Tempering!</h4>


    The me of Pride entered Tang Li Xue''s body deeper and deeper until it arrived at her dantian.


    From her dantian, the me of Pride started to spread to all of her meridians, blood vessels, including to all of her bones and muscles.


    The me of Pride started to temper every part of Tang Li Xue''s body from inside out with its scorching temperature.


    Right now, deep blue me covered Tang Li Xue''s entire body, it looks fascinating beautiful but the danger that she faced right now was actually very high.


    Tang Li Xue tried to use her current strength to resist the deep-blue me that spread on all of her body and the rate of her Health Points decreasing was reduced a lot but when she tried to resist it this way, it also made her stamina decreased more rapidly too!


    ''UUUUUUUUAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHH… Is this your best shot, scourge me?! You tiny little me wants to burn this Queen?! Dream on!''


    The me of Pride became even more enraged by Tang Li Xue''s mocking!


    BWOOOOSH~~!


    The deep-blue me burned even fiercer and hotter until it forming a swirl of me with Tang Li Xue at its center.


    Of course, Tang Li Xue was not fool enough to provoke the me of Pride without any reason. There were three reasons why she was doing this!


    The first reason was…


    [me of Pride is tempering your body! Toughness +1]


    [me of Pride is tempering your body! Toughness +1]


    [me of Pride is tempering your body! Toughness +1]


    …..


    Yes, even though the assimting process with the me of Pride means Tang Li Xue''s body keeps burning but it also tempering her body with its extremely high temperature!


    The second reason was…


    -1032, -995, -951, -903, -886, …


    Tang Li Xue also did not know why but the burning damage that her body received from the me of Pride keeps decreasing over time, maybe because her Toughness stats be higher and higher or maybe because her resistance to me or heat increased more and more.


    She was also aware that three hours to assimte with me of Pride was too long! She only has 2 more [Recovery Pill] and the burning damage she received over three hours would probably kill her even if she used all of her [Recovery Pill] sparingly.


    So Tang Li Xue decided to gamble with her life and provoke the me of Pride, again and again, not only to increase her toughness stats and her me resistance but also to speed up their assimtion process! This was her third reason.


    Tang Li Xue realized that her Health Points dropped again to the critical level and her stamina also exhausted so she immediately popped one [Recovery Pill] and one [Stamina Pill] into her mouth!


    ''URRRAAAGHHH…Haah… Haah… Is this all you got little me?! Hahaha… Too weak! You must be the lowest bottom ranking me! All you can do is making people itch with your warm temperature! You probably cannot even boil the water with your pathetic heat!.....''


    Tang Li Xue gritted her teeth as she felt all of her sweat, tears, and blood started to evaporate under the me of pride extremely high temperature!


    She started to felt her eyelid grew heavier, her consciousness also getting more and more blurry.


    The deep-blue me that swirling around with Tang Li Xue at its center bes even more concentrated and its blue light also bes more dazzling!


    BAAAAAAAMMMM~~!


    The swirling me exploded upward making a big pir of blue me even the sturdy iron safe room full of heat protection array started to melt at astounding speed!


    Tang Li Xue felt that she cannot hold on anymore, she tossed herst [Recovery Pill] and all of her [Stamina Pill] into her mouth as herst struggle before she fell unconscious under the great pressure of scorching heat and the pir of me.


    No one actually aware of this matter and all of them only knows that the temperature at the Elder Lin''s residence rises rapidly tonight.


    All of the guards that guarding the Elder Lin''s Residence have pretty high cultivation, they usually never sweating even if they stood under the sun for all day but tonight their sweat started to pour out profusely!


    Even Elder Lin that still busily concocting pills in his room did not aware that his most precious me already assimted with another person… err… another fox.


    No one knows how many sacrifices that Elder Lin bear to get this me of Pride embryo, other than the fatty uncle Mo Chonglin.


    Elder Lin was a well-renowned alchemist if he received Xiao Hei''s offer to concoct pills along with Mo Chonglin''s faction and Xiao Hei''s grandfather''s faction, he would gain more profit from all of them! He could even ept any offer outside Asura Demon Sect too and gain even more profit if he wanted to!


    Then why Elder Lin would be Mo Chonglin''s personal alchemist now and only concoct pills for Mo Chonglin''s faction? Is it makes sense if he only sold his services to only one specific person rather than to all people? It was obvious that he could get more benefits if he sold his services to more people!


    The real reason for this was because Mo Chonglin offered this me of Pride to Elder Lin! Elder Lin agreed to work under Mo Chonglin for 100 years and they even already signed a contract agreement.


    Assimting with high ranking me was the biggest dream for all renowned alchemists including Elder Lin!


    The low-ranking me was born at least every one hundred years.


    The mid-ranking me was born every one thousand years.


    Then for the high-ranking me? Even waiting for one hundred thousand years, no one could guarantee that someone could find it!


    Imagine it… for this high-ranking me, the me of Pride, Elder Lin willing to work under Mo Chonglin for 100 years! He had to concoct Pills for Mo Chonglin''s faction every day and night only to get his hand on this me of Pride!


    But Elder Lin still did it happily since he thought he got a big bargain here… since he only needs to work for 100 years to get a high ranking me that no one could get even if they wait for a hundred thousand years!


    Even though the me of Pride rejected him for now and almost self-destructed when he tried to forcefully assimte with the me of Pride but all of these did not make Elder Lin''s down, Elder Lin still believe that someday the me of Pride would yield to him under his constant coaxing.


    Elder Lin did not even hesitate to pour all of his resources, all of his precious rare herbs, and divine pills in his possession to nourish the me of Pride. Just like a caring father keep feeding a healthy supplement to his own son and watching his son grow up just so his son could ept him as the father.


    Unfortunately, all of those efforts were fated to be in vain because his beloved me of Pride already assimted by the small fox that identally entered his safe chamber.


    If Elder Lin really knew about this, he would probably not only vomiting out all blood in his body and went crazy, he would probably alsomit suicide on the spot without any need for Tang Li Xue to do anything at all.


    Too bad that these two did not know anything about this right now…
