The bottle of pear blossom wine was quickly emptied, and the sorrow in Lian Si's eyes gradually faded, replaced by a resolute look.

"I'll be waiting for you downstairs."

A faint smile seemed to linger on Lian Si's lips as the Saintess finished the last sip of pear blossom wine: "Why do you do this? Do you hate me to the bone and wish you could use the entire Saintess Peak to pay for my death?"

Unfortunately, Lian Si could no longer answer her. The moment she put down her wine glass, Lian Si had already committed suicide.

Lian Si lived a carefree and unrestrained life in the first half of her life, but lost herself in hatred in the second half. She had no regrets until her death and chose to die with pride.

A wisp of white flame appeared at the Saintess's fingertip, engulfing Lian Si's aged body: "You certainly don't want to see him looking like this, so I'll help you out."

“Holy Maiden.” Lianchi and Su Shaxuan had not gone far.

"Let this matter rest. Deal with those traitors secretly! Remember to reassure the disciples and don't let it affect their cultivation. As long as I am here, Saintess Peak will always be Saintess Peak."

"Yes, Holy Maiden."

By the time Ye Xiruo finished her cultivation, it was already evening. The person guarding her side was Lian Qing Zhang Lasou.

"Elder, what brings you here?"

"Today, Lian Si committed suicide."

"I understand. It's not a capital offense, and I'm fine now."

"This is a feud between Lian Si and the Holy Maiden. You've been dragged into it, and I'm truly sorry."

Ye Xiruo's lips twitched. She had thought that Lian Si was just jealous and didn't like her, but she didn't expect that the person Lian Si really disliked was the Holy Maiden, not her, a nobody.

"Why didn't she just kill me? That way, Saintess Peak and Pill King Palace would inevitably be at odds, and war would definitely break out, allowing her to avenge herself."

"I'm not entirely sure either. Whether it was because she still had a conscience or because she miscalculated, she's already dead, and nobody knows what she really thought."

“That makes sense.” Ye Xiruo got out of bed. “I want to go to the Lotus Pond to cultivate tomorrow.”

“The energy in the lotus pond is extremely pure. I’m afraid that your recent recovery from serious injuries might affect your cultivation.”

"In that case, I will continue to recuperate for two more days before I go back to cultivation."

"I have prepared your favorite dishes." Elder Lianchi led Ye Xiruo directly down the snow mountain.

For some reason, we didn't encounter a single person along the way, which naturally avoided a lot of trouble.

"Lian Si has been on Saintess Peak for many years and has many friends. This time, she directly issued the Saintess Decree, ordering strict patrols and prohibiting people from going out at night."

"So that's how it is."

The dining area was still the same. Ye Xiruo glanced around and was surprised to see braised fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, dry pot beef tenderloin, and stir-fried beef with soy sauce. These were all her favorite dishes.

Elder Lianchi served Ye Xiruo a bowl of fish soup: "This is soup made from snow mountain cold fish, you should try it."

This wealthy and powerful Saintess Peak actually uses snow mountain cold fish to make fish soup. If the eldest and second eldest brothers knew about this, they would be furious. If the snow mountain cold fish were refined into elixirs, how many people's aptitudes could be changed and how many people's fates could be saved?

However, for Ye Xiruo, who had already contracted a fishpond, fish were born to be eaten. It would be a waste to use them to make elixirs. She would rather think of ways to make more delicious dishes.

This task should be handled by Zhang Quan; after all, everyone has their own area of ​​expertise!

Elder Lianchi has a rather light palate and is particularly fond of sweet and sour pork ribs and braised chicken with mushrooms. Ye Xiruo, having missed out on these dishes for a few days, is now practically drooling over meat. Plus, the chef at Saintess Peak is truly skilled; the dishes are incredibly delicious.

Although the rice wasn't the precious bamboo rice, it was a vibrant green japonica rice, and the taste was still excellent. After the meal, Ye Xiruo lay back in her chair, as lazy as a cat, not wanting to move at all.

Lianchi summoned someone to clear the table, and then served fruit and spiritual tea.

Ye Xiruo drank a sip of the Soul Cleansing Drink and circulated her spiritual energy, feeling very comfortable.

Then I picked up a fruit about the size of a longan, pure white all over, which smelled of lotus fragrance. I didn't know what kind of fruit it was.

"This is a lotus seed fruit, the fruit of an aquatic plant that grows in lotus ponds. Try it."

Ye Xiruo peeled off the skin, took a bite, and found that the flesh was somewhat similar to lychee, with a sweet and refreshing taste that was also thirst-quenching.

“Not bad.” Ye Xiruo nodded. This thing looks small, but it contains a lot of spiritual energy, so it must be a specialty of the snow mountain.

After finishing her meal, Ye Xiruo was sent back to the snow mountain by Lianchi. With nothing else to do, she thought of the snow bamboo and took Xiaobao out, heading towards the snow bamboo forest.

At night, the snow-covered bamboo seems to glow, captivating the night sky. A breeze stirs, rustling the bamboo leaves, creating an atmosphere of utter beauty.

No wonder the Holy Maiden planted such a large snow bamboo forest in her residence. Putting aside its preciousness, it is also extremely enjoyable to look at.

Ye Xiruo took out a white jade table and a bottle of Zhuyeqing liquor. Without even taking a wine glass, she started drinking directly from the bottle.

Xiao Bao stared at a cute face, leaned in to sniff it, then turned his head away, making a disgusted expression.

Ye Xiruo rubbed Xiaobao's head: "Your food is over there." Ye Xiruo pointed to Xuezhu.

Xiao Bao huffed and puffed as he crawled over, grabbed the snow bamboo, and started eating it. Ye Xiruo felt like she had done something terrible.

We were just praising the beautiful scenery of the bamboo forest, and now we've let Xiao Bao out to ruin it.

"Let us drink and sing, for life is short." Ye Xiruo quickly finished a bottle of Zhuyeqing liquor without getting drunk, while Xiaobao was still happily munching on bamboo.

Ye Xiruo took out another bottle of Zhuyeqing tea and continued drinking. In the end, she couldn't even remember how much she had drunk.

Once her cultivation is finished, she must rush back as soon as possible. She has seen Saintess Peak, and it's time to go back.

Huh? Why are there three little ones?

Ye Xiru grinned foolishly: "Xiao Bao, your brothers are here, triplets, they look exactly like you."

Xiao Bao glanced at Ye Xiruo indifferently, as if in silent mockery.

Ye Xiruo walked over and rubbed Xiaobao's head: "Eat less. This isn't our family's food. Why don't you take care of yourself?"

Xiao Bao pretended not to hear and continued eating. Such good bamboo, who knows when you'll come across it again? How can you not eat more?

"How can you eat so much? If I can't afford to feed you in the future, how about I sell you into servitude here?"

Xiao Bao thought for a moment, then stretched out its furry paw and slapped Ye Xiruo to the ground. The world was finally quiet, and no one was disturbing it from eating.

Ye Xiruo, who had been knocked unconscious, exclaimed: "How dare you!"
