Chapter 76: The Divine Demon Beast at the Cake Shop! Ghost-Faced Fire Spirit Spider!

Walking out of the dark alley without incident, Lin Tianming was in a good mood, having taken advantage of Wang Yanran's deliberate attempts to seduce him.

While he was happy, Wang Yanran felt extremely frustrated, like she had suffered a double loss.

Why was she acting so passionately toward Lin Tianming, as if she liked this junior so much?

Was she really interested in having romance with Lin Tianming?

Definitely not!

She wanted to lure Lin Tianming into a secluded spot and kill him to avenge the humiliation of being defiled, thus resolving her inner demons!

However, not only did she fail to kill Lin Tianming, but she also let him take advantage of her for two consecutive nights.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. There was a moment when Wang Yanran really wanted to ignore everything and kill Lin Tianming in front of everyone.

But her rationality quickly suppressed this impulse that would bring her negative consequences.

Listening to Wang Yanran's extremely aggrieved thoughts, Lin Tianming was delighted.

The more aggrieved she was, the happier he felt!

Who told her to keep accusing him of defiling her purity!

Now, Wang Yanran was Lin Tianming's source of happiness.

"Senior Yanran, is this the Cake shop? You can smell the rich aroma of Cakes from outside!"

Wang Yanran still liked eating Cakes, but due to the failure of her plan against Lin Tianming, she had no appetite now.

However, she still forced a smile and said, "Yes, this is the one. Whenever I have free time lately, I come here specifically to buy some Cakes!"

Lin Tianming looked at the shop's floor-to-ceiling windows and the not-too-busy but still steady flow of people nearby, feeling quite reassured.

"Then let's go in!"

He wrapped his arm around Wang Yanran as they entered the shop specializing in Cakes. As soon as they walked in, they were warmly greeted by the owner.

"Welcome! Are you here to buy some Cakes?"

[Keep calm, Wang Yanran! Think about whether there are other ways to kill this scoundrel on the way back to the Imperial Capital University, but for now, let's just buy some Cakes!]

Wang Yanran quickly adjusted her mindset and, having been here many times, proactively engaged with the Cake shop owner.

At first, the dejected Wang Yanran had her head down, so the owner didn't recognize her.

Now that she stepped forward, the owner was pleasantly surprised and said, "Isn't this Miss Wang, who frequently comes to our shop for Cakes? Today, you're here with your boyfriend?"

"He...he is my junior!"

[How could I ever date a scoundrel who defiled my purity? I wish I could kill him right now!]

Wang Yanran didn't want outsiders to misunderstand her relationship with Lin Tianming.

However, upon hearing her explanation, the Cake shop owner immediately said, "I get it, Miss Wang likes younger men. You have good taste; this young man is indeed very handsome!"

To annoy Wang Yanran, Lin Tianming continued to boldly embrace her in front of the shop owner and said with a smile, "Thank you for the compliment, boss. It's my honor to be favored by my senior."

"Ah, youth! I wish you two a long and happy relationship!"

As the owner sorted the still-steaming Cakes for them, he warmly wished Lin Tianming and Wang Yanran well.

Wang Yanran was seething with anger.

[I really want to bite Lin Tianming to death!]

Lin Tianming was enjoying himself.

While waiting for the owner to finish sorting their large order of Cakes, Lin Tianming vaguely saw a trace of strange black gas seeping from a shelf behind the owner.

When he looked again, the strange black gas had disappeared.

Was it just an illusion?

Originally, Lin Tianming was happily teasing Wang Yanran, but now he couldn't help but frown.

That black gas... it resembled the demonic energy of a demon beast, and his Spirit Ascension power had a natural restraining effect on demonic energy. Perhaps...

With this thought, and for his own safety, Lin Tianming decided to use his Spirit Ascension power to investigate.

However, he didn't openly use his Spirit Ascension power but discreetly released a trace to sense the surroundings.

The moment he sensed it, Lin Tianming's pupils slightly constricted.

Under the careful sensing of his Spirit Ascension power, the entire Cake shop exuded a faint, eerie demonic energy.

And the source of that demonic energy... was the Cake shop owner who was smiling and sorting Cakes for them!

Compared to the demonized human he and Ye Qingxue encountered at the snack street of the Imperial Capital University, this owner was extremely skilled at hiding his demonic energy.

If Lin Tianming hadn't carefully used his Spirit Ascension power, he would never have discovered this secret.

Lin Tianming increased his Spirit Ascension power further to probe the true nature of this Cake shop owner.

However, as he intensified his Spirit Ascension power, the faint demonic energy suddenly turned into a terrifying demonic aura.

The previously warmly decorated Cake shop transformed into a dark spider's web lair, filled with cobwebs, a dwelling for spider demons.

The shop owner, who was the source of the demonic energy, also shed his human appearance under Lin Tianming's enhanced Spirit Ascension vision, revealing himself as a gigantic ghost-faced spider engulfed in eerie blue flames.

Lin Tianming could even hear the horrifying spider demon making cold, sinister laughter.

"A delectable SSS-grade fire-attribute soul! Eat...eat...eat!"

"After feeding her so many Cakes infused with Fire Spirit demonic energy, it's time for the harvest!"

"I didn't expect her to bring an SSS-grade human today. Excellent! The next soul to devour will be this human boy! I, the Ghost-Faced Fire Spirit Spider, have crawled out from there with great difficulty and must feast well on these long-missed SSS-grade human souls!"

Ghost-Faced Fire Spirit Spider?

This... this seemed to be a real demon beast, not just a demonized human!

Seeing the Ghost-Faced Spider Demon reveal its true form in front of him, Lin Tianming's gaze shifted downward.

The previously steaming, delicious Cakes had turned into filthy objects burning with eerie blue flames of demonic energy.

These weren't Cakes at all!

"Junior Tianming, what's wrong?"

Wang Yanran's voice pulled Lin Tianming back from the horrifying realization that the Cake shop was a lair for the Ghost-Faced Fire Spirit Spider.

Lin Tianming immediately said, "Let's go, Senior Yanran!"

As he spoke, he wrapped his arm around Wang Yanran and pulled her towards the shop's exit.

"But...we haven't gotten our Cakes yet!"

[What's wrong with this scoundrel? I've already paid for those Cakes!]

The Ghost-Faced Fire Spirit Spider, waiting to harvest Wang Yanran's soul today, wouldn't let them leave so easily.

"Don't go! Stay and play!"

As it spoke, the Ghost-Faced Fire Spirit Spider dropped its pretense.

In Wang Yanran's incredulous gaze, the Ghost-Faced Fire Spirit Spider tore away the facade of the Cake shop owner.

The entire warm shop decor twisted and instantly transformed into the demonic lair of the Ghost-Faced Fire Spirit Spider, identical to what Lin Tianming saw with his Spirit Ascension power.

The original entrance of the Cake shop turned into a stone wall of the spider demon lair, blocking Lin Tianming and Wang Yanran's escape route.

"The feast begins! After feeding you so many Cakes with special ingredients, it's time for you to repay me!"

Accompanied by the cold laughter of the Ghost-Faced Fire Spirit Spider, Wang Yanran's body ignited with torturous eerie blue flames.

Her face darkened to the extreme.

[Isn't this the divine-level demon beast Ghost-Faced Fire Spirit Spider from the Demon Tomb?]

[According to my previous life, the seal on the Demon Tomb shouldn't break and open for a long time. How could I encounter such a demon beast here!]

[I'm not yet divine; to deal with such a divine-level demon beast, my chances of winning are almost zero!]

Hearing Wang Yanran's thoughts, Lin Tianming's heart sank.

This Ghost-Faced Fire Spirit Spider was a divine-level demon beast?

Does that mean only those who have ascended to godhood can deal with it?
