"Brother Xiu Qi, I feel like I accidentally missed out on a lot of spirit stones."

"It's alright. Xiao Ye can go into seclusion to refine pills these two days. We can sell them at a high price and make a small profit."

Zishu pouted. These two are just unbelievable. Don't they have any shame? They're making the Danwang Palace lose all face.

The cooperation with the Pill King Palace was quite satisfactory to everyone at Saintess Peak. Last time, Jing Li was in seclusion, and this time, she was able to meet the legendary, peerless beauty. Elder Lianchi was also very excited. Elder Lianqing had already met him. The reason she followed Ye Xiruo was to protect her safety on the way. The example of the Divine Child was right there. Although Xiao Yezi wasn't the type to court death, it was still necessary to be on the safe side in case someone came looking for trouble.

With the protection of the fairies of Saintess Peak, the journey back was indeed much smoother. There were no fools causing trouble, nor did she see those troublesome people from Illusionary Heaven Palace. Ye Xiruo was in a fairly pleasant mood.

On the way back, Zishu bought a huge amount of food to share with Ye Xiruo. Everyone who saw it wondered if they were blind. How could someone who seemed to live on a cloud be such a glutton? Zishu's chubby face was probably a result of overeating, but how could a god who supposedly didn't eat (just kidding) be such a big eater? The most damning thing was that even the aloof and handsome Xiu Qiyu had fallen for him. Didn't the god hear their inner cries of "No! Give me back my aloof god!"?

Ye Xiruo put a piece of cumin-flavored fried chicken into Xiu Qiyu's mouth: "Brother Xiu Qi, how is it?" She looked expectant.

"tasty."

Elder Lianqing and Elder Lianchi almost lost their composure. Had they known Ye Xiruo would be this way, they would absolutely never have sent her back. After the shock subsided, Ye Xiruo would become even more famous, and their Saintess Peak would become famous along with her.

"Can't you pay a little attention to your image?"

"What's the point of having an image? You can't eat it, right, Senior Brother?"

"The spiritual energy in the food here seems to be more abundant than that outside. Brother Xiu Qi, you should eat more, otherwise we won't be able to eat it when the Heavenly Ranking opens."

Elder Lianqing was speechless. Everyone else was worried about how to achieve good results in the Heavenly Ranking, but this guy had the leisure to worry about whether he could have enough to eat.

"Don't worry, Little Leaf, I won't go hungry."

"I'll pack you two jars of barbecue sauce when we get back."

"Junior Sister, what about me?"

"You should eat more too. Fighting is important, but eating is also important. You need to be well-fed to have the strength to fight. You all need to eat more."

Elder Lianqing and Elder Lianchi wished they could plug their ears and listen to what was being said.

"If you are injured or your internal energy is insufficient, remember to take medicine."

"Don't worry, junior sister, you've said it three times already."

"I was just afraid you'd forget if you got nervous," Ye Xiruo pouted and popped a soft pastry into her mouth.

"Elders, would you like some snacks? The pastries here are quite delicious."

"No need, let's hurry up!"

Back in the small courtyard of the Danwang Palace, Zishu went to inform his master. Ye Xiruo had several cups of fine tea brewed to entertain the two elders. Last time, the two elders had also left in a hurry, and she hadn't had a proper farewell.

"It is truly an honor to be able to drink tea brewed by the young master himself."

"Elder, you flatter me. I haven't even thanked you for your protection yet."

"Young Master, you're being too polite," Elder Lianchi said with a smile.

"Your master will be here soon, so you can have a good chat."

"Am I that old?"

Oh no, that's Master's voice. Master hates it when people say he's old. She's accidentally walked into a trap.

Ye Xiruo smiled broadly: "Master, what are you saying? You are the most charming man in our Pill King Palace. Men and women all over the continent worship you. You don't look old at all, really, you're more real than a pearl." Ye Xiruo smiled with utmost flattery.

Jing Li waved her hand: "You should leave now! Don't bother me here."

"Yes, Master." Ye Xiruo ran very fast. It seemed that her master was still unaware of what had just happened and could enjoy a little peace and quiet for a while.

Ye Xiruo pulled Xiu Qiyu upstairs and set up a soundproof array.

"Brother Xiu Qi, is everyone gone now? Why did you hit him so hard?" Xiu Qiyu's outburst in the street today was witnessed by many people, which will affect his reputation as a male god. Brother Xiu Qi is not such an impulsive person, so there must be some reason.

Xiu Qiyu whispered something in Ye Xiruo's ear, and Ye Xiruo instantly understood. However, she was also speechless at Xiu Qiyu's incredible luck. Just wandering around, he could find such a heaven-defying treasure as the seeds of the Seven-Colored Divine Lotus. Her Xiu Qiyu was indeed Heaven's illegitimate son, the darling of the Heavenly Dao!

The transaction had already ended. The only thing that could make that brain-dead divine son rush out regardless of his status and even resort to a sneak attack without regard for his dignity was probably the lotus seed of the Seven-Colored Divine Lotus. The lotus seed of the Seven-Colored Divine Lotus is formed from pure divine power and is extremely pure. It should be that the Holy Body of Light sensed it, so Brother Xiu Qi took advantage of the situation and went all out, directly crippling the person.

"Brother Xiu Qi has really worked hard. I wonder what those vile women from the Illusionary Heaven Palace will say about him." It's all because of her; she really is a troublemaker.

"Little Yezi, there's no need to blame yourself. I observed that the divine child's vengeful nature and feared he might harm you in the future, so I took precautions to prevent future troubles. Fame is nothing to me. As long as you are safe, what does it matter if I bear eternal infamy?"

It was clear that Xiu Qiyu's expression was very serious. Ye Xiruo felt a pang of sadness in her heart and almost burst into tears: "I don't need you to sacrifice so much. You are a chosen one and should not be scorned because of me. I will not let you bear all of this alone."

"We're already inseparable, aren't we?"

"Yes, that's why I didn't even mind that you glanced at Yi Ruowu a couple of times today," Ye Xiruo sneered.

Xiu Qiyu touched her nose, thinking how quickly she changed her expression: "At least she helped me out today, so I didn't give her a second glance."

"That's the three-eyed one."

Xiu Qiyu smiled bitterly: "You think that from now on, if we meet again, we will be enemies, yet you still hold such a grudge."

"Yes, it's all my fault, I'm so sorry."

Xiu Qiyu hugged Ye Xiruo: "Don't run out so recklessly in the future, I'll worry about you."
