"As a result, all those people turned into monsters!"

"Although he still retains his sanity, he has lost his humanity and become a bloodthirsty monster!"

Li Yang was stunned for a moment.

"Commander Nakiri, what kind of weirdo were you talking about earlier?"

Senzaemon Nakiri shook his head. "Those strange people are divided into several groups. Some of them call themselves alien insects. It is said that they not only eat the flesh and blood of monsters, but have also been irradiated by the energy of alien meteorites!"

"There are also strange people who call themselves Orphnochs. They are a group of guys who ate the flesh and blood of monsters, but couldn't withstand the powerful demonic energy and died, only to be resurrected!"

"There are also strange people who call themselves demonic monsters. They are guys who truly obtain the power of monsters by devouring their flesh and blood or fusing with their aura!"

Senzaemon Nakiri shook his head. "Instead of being a decent human, they insist on becoming monsters, making themselves neither human nor ghost. I don't know if these guys have lost their minds!"

Li Yang was stunned.

Good heavens, there's actually a Kamen Rider storyline in this world?

However, the birth process of these strange beings is different from the original plot. They are actually transformed from humans who plundered the power of monsters!

Despite Nurarihyon and Senzaemon Nakiri's earnest attempts to dissuade him, Li Yang smiled slightly and used his Garuda Knife to cut off a piece of centipede meat.

The snow-white, tender centipede meat resembled king crab leg meat, with strands that looked both fresh and tender.

As the Garuda Blade cut down, the black mist emanating from the centipede's tender flesh instantly vanished, and even the original fishy smell disappeared, replaced by a faint fragrance.

The Garuda Knife possesses a magical purifying effect, capable of removing some undesirable substances from meat.

Demonic energy is no exception!

Li Yang held up the piece of tender centipede meat in front of Nurarihyon and Senzaemon Nakiri, "Gentlemen, feel it. Is there still demonic energy in this piece of meat?"

Nurarihyon stared at the tender meat in Li Yang's hand, an incredulous expression on his face.

He really didn't sense a trace of demonic energy!

"How is this possible?"

Nurarihyon tore off a piece of tender centipede meat with his hand and stuffed it into his mouth. The moment his tongue touched the tender meat, he instinctively cried out:

"What a refreshing taste, with a hint of sweetness. If I didn't know what I was eating, I would have thought it was the leg meat of a top-quality king crab!"

Followed by.

A look of shock appeared on his face.

"There is not a trace of demonic energy in this piece of meat. It contains absolutely no demonic energy from the centipede demoness, but it does contain pure demonic power!"

Nurarihyon exclaimed with obvious enjoyment, "What a wonderful taste!"

aside.

The bull demon, equally curious, tore off a piece of tender meat and put it in his mouth, his expression one of surprise.

"Indeed, the centipede demon's demonic aura has vanished, leaving only the purest demonic power... This is the best tonic for us demons!"

"Even...humans can eat it!"

Niu Gui stared at Li Yang in shock, "Mr. Li Yang, how did you do that?"

Li Yang smiled without saying a word, and with a wave of his Garuda Blade, he instantly dismembered the giant centipede's body, purifying all the demonic energy!

Trusting Nurarihyon and Li Yang, Senzaemon Nakiri cautiously tasted a bite of the centipede's tender meat.

moment.

His clothes tore open in several places, then turned into pieces of cloth scattered all over the ground, exposing his strong upper body.

"The crab meat is so delicious!"

The students of Totsuki Academy were in an uproar.

They actually witnessed the scene of Nakiri's clothes being torn apart, and it was so thorough!

Senzaemon Nakiri stared at Nurarihyon with shining eyes.

"Brother Nura, can we humans really eat this crab meat—no, this centipede monster meat?"

Nurarihyon nodded. "That's right, humans can be eaten too!"

"Mr. Li Yang purified the centipede demon's demonic energy but preserved its pure demonic power. Demonic power is no different from divine power or spiritual power, and will not cause any side effects to humans!"

"Furthermore, if you can digest the demonic power within the flesh, you can strengthen your bodies, prolong your lifespan, and gain power far exceeding that of ordinary people!"

Senzaemon Nakiri felt a surge of excitement, his gaze fixed intently on Li Yang, and he pleaded:

"Mr. Li Yang, could we give this centipede meat to the students of Totsuki Academy to cook?"

"I assure you, I will present you with a sumptuous feast!"

Li Yang has no problem with it.

Moreover, having just obtained the glowing dish from Master Chef, he was itching to try his hand at it, so he asked Senzaemon Nakiri to prepare a stove for him.

Senzaemon Nakiri was taken aback and exclaimed in amazement as he looked at Li Yang, "So Mr. Li Yang also knows about cooking? I should have invited you to give my students a few lessons!"

Li Yang waved his hand, declining the offer and saying that his cooking skills were so-so.

The venue did not become dull because of the appearance of the centipede witch; on the contrary, it became even more lively.

All the students were given a large piece of centipede meat. This ingredient, comparable to top-grade king crab meat, could drive even monsters crazy if cooked by students without a culinary talent.

A new competition begins!

Li Yang's side.

A group of friends from Love Apartment gathered around.

Zeng Xiaoxian said worriedly, "Li Yang, are you sure what you made is edible? Why don't you let Guan Gu do it?"

Lu Ziqiao had some faint red marks on his neck, which were punishments from the prostitute Mao for harassing him. He wholeheartedly agreed with Zeng Xiaoxian's suggestion.

"Teacher Zeng is right, let Guan Gu come instead. I want to eat something good to soothe my wounded and fragile heart!"

"That woman named Ji Nai was too ruthless; she almost strangled me to death with her hair!"

"Damn it, if I also possessed supernatural powers, I would definitely give her a good beating!"

anyway.

Of all the friends in Love Apartment, only Lu Ziqiao is still an ordinary person.

Because the power of the Ghost King within him has not yet awakened!

Li Yang said irritably, "Eat it or don't, it's up to you!"

"I'm going to tell you, I'm going to make a magical glowing dish that will absolutely scare you!"

Zhanbo was shocked. "Li Yang, calm down! Adding fluorescent agents to food is illegal!"

Li Yang rolled his eyes in anger.

Wanyu leaned close to Li Yang and whispered, "That centipede demon woman was the same monster that targeted Ali, wasn't she?"

Li Yang nodded.

Wanyu breathed a sigh of relief. "So, Ali is safe?"

"That's right!"

Guan Gu asked in confusion, "What are you talking about? Is that centipede demon woman after Ali?"

Kagome Higurashi, standing to the side, was also puzzled.

Seeing the curious looks from the others, Li Yang simply explained the situation clearly.

"Ah Li, there's a well in the backyard of the Higurashi Shrine, isn't there?"

Kagome nodded. "Yes, it's a very old well, several hundred years old!"

Li Yang explained, "That's a bone-eating well. The wellhead is made from the trunk of a sacred tree, which was used in ancient times to bury the corpses of monsters!"

"After the exorcist kills the monster, he throws it into a well. After a while, the monster's body will disappear without a trace!"

"But in fact, the monster's body didn't disappear; it simply traveled through time and space!"

"Therefore, that Bone-Eating Well possesses the power to travel through time, and one can use it to return to the Sengoku period of Japan!"

"And people or monsters from Japan's Warring States period can also travel to the modern era through the Bone-Eating Well!"

"That centipede demon came from the past to the present and set its sights on the Shikon Jewel inside you, Ali!"

Kagome looked completely bewildered.

"What is the Shikon Jewel? I don't have one on me!"

Li Yang reached out and gently touched Ge Wei's body, and a bright light shone from the location of her heart.

Amidst the radiance, another crystal-like bead appeared.

"This is the Shikon Jewel!"

Kagome was terrified, her face turning pale, and she grabbed Li Yang's arm tightly.

"Mr. Li Yang, don't scare me. Why is there a Shikon Jewel inside my heart? Can you help me remove it?"

Li Yang smiled slightly, "That's easy!"

The Sword of the Kingly Way, now unleashed!

The Shikon Jewel instantly appeared in Li Yang's hand.

A strange fluctuation emanated from the Shikon Jewel and spread outwards. The yokai who had been watching the students prepare the food all turned their gazes toward Li Yang.

His eyes were filled with longing!

Everyone else was startled by the monsters' reaction.

Fortunately, Nurarihyon and Gyuki, being powerful yokai, were unaffected by the Shikon Jewel, but the two still curiously approached.

He was shocked when he saw the round bead in Li Yang's hand.

"The Jade of Four Souls?"

"Hasn't this treasure disappeared hundreds of years ago?"

"Mr. Li Yang, where did you obtain the Shikon Jewel?"

[Happiness percentage +1%]

[Happiness percentage +1%]

Li Yang smiled slightly and began to explain the origin of the Shikon Jewel.

"Long ago, in Japan, there was a shrine maiden named Midori who possessed the immense power of purifying souls and exorcising demons!"

"Her existence instilled fear in countless evil monsters. In order to get rid of Midori, all sorts of ghosts, dragons, earth spiders, and other monsters gathered together to besiege her!"

"During the long battle with the monsters, Midori was exhausted and at a disadvantage, and in the end, she had no choice but to perish together with all the monsters!"

"She tried to purify the souls of all the monsters by absorbing them into her own body, but extracting their souls had already exhausted Midori's strength, and she was powerless to purify them any further!"

"Therefore, the souls of these monsters merged with Midori's soul to form the Shikon Jewel!"

"The Shikon Jewel has two forms. When it falls into the hands of an evil person or a demon, it will be corrupted and become a 'Kyoto'!"

"But if it falls into the hands of a pure-hearted person, it can be purified and become a 'straight spirit'!"

Nurarihyon nodded. "That's right. Back when I was active, many yokai, even yokai kings, wanted the Shikon Jewel!"

"Because it can enhance the strength of monsters, turning ordinary monsters into demon kings, and demon kings into demon gods!"

"But hundreds of years ago, the last time I heard about the Shikon Jewel was when it fell into the hands of a powerful priestess named Kikyo!"

"It is said that after Kikyo died, the Shikon Jewel and her own body were burned together in flames!"

Kagome was confused.

"Since the Shikon Jewel was burned, why is it inside my body?"

Nurarihyon and Gyuki were greatly surprised.

"What? The Shikon Jewel is inside you?"

Kagome nodded blankly, "Yes, Mr. Li Yang just took it out for me!"
