"What's wrong, Little Leaf?"

"I'm fine. I will definitely work hard to become your personal alchemist."

Xiu Qiyu's face, backlit, looked as perfect as a sculpture: "I'll be waiting."

The food was quickly served, each dish resembling a fine work of art, almost making Ye Xiruo's mouth water.

"Eat up!"

Ye Xiruo couldn't care less about anything else at this point and started devouring the food. Halfway through, she realized that Brother Xiu Qi really did treat eating like an art form. A line of words flashed through Ye Xiruo's mind: "On how to eat beautifully and quickly."

"Have some soup." Xiu Qiyu handed Ye Xiruo a bowl of soup.

After finishing the soup, Ye Xiruo's eating speed slowed down. It was so delicious! Each dish brought out the essence of the ingredients, and some combinations were even more delicious. Ye Xiruo almost swallowed her tongue.

The most wonderful thing is that each dish has a subtle spiritual energy that you absorb. Isn't life just too wonderful?

Most of the dishes on the table ended up in Ye Xiruo's stomach. In the end, she even leaned back in her chair, looking at Xiu Qiyu with a happy yet conflicted expression: "I'm stuffed."

"I can tell." Xiu Qiyu began to slowly savor the fruit platter that had just been served, completely ignoring Ye Xiruo's fiery gaze.

"Since Xiaoyezi is full, I'll finish this fruit platter for her."

Ye Xiruo let out a wail, and from her appearance, one would never guess that Xiu Qiyu, who looked like an immortal, was actually so cunning and ruthless.

Ye Xi closed her eyes, out of sight, out of mind.

"Little Leaf, I'll be leaving in a couple of days."

"What?" Ye Xiruo was immediately jolted awake: "Where is Brother Xiu Qi going? Will he be in any danger? When will he be back!"

After inexplicably arriving in this strange world, the person she knew and trusted the most was Xiu Qiyu. They were together most of the time. Suddenly, when Brother Xiu Qiyu was leaving, Ye Xiruo felt an emptiness in her heart.

"Go to the ancient realm to kill enemies and find an opportunity for a breakthrough."

Ye Xiruo lowered his head and remained silent. The Ancient Domain was a place where Ye Liusha often stayed. He had heard that the demon race and the monster race roamed freely, and the human race was often the target of their hunts. As a human genius, wouldn't Brother Xiu Qi be targeted and besieged?

Ye Xiruo grew increasingly flustered as she thought about it. She grabbed Xiu Qiyu's wrist, but couldn't bring herself to ask him to stay. After all, Xiu Qiyu was fighting for the righteous path of humanity, and it was his dream. What reason did she have to let him stay in the Pill King's Palace?

"Don't worry, Little Leaf, I've been there many times, I will definitely come back safely."

"Brother Xiu Qi." Ye Xiruo's eyes were red, like a pitiful rabbit, and she had an ugly smile on her face.

"Stop laughing, it looks really ugly."

"It's all your fault. It's a pity I'm too weak, otherwise I would definitely be with you." Ye Xiruo had never longed for strong strength as much as she did now, so that she could stand shoulder to shoulder with Xiu Qiyu.

"After I leave, you must remember the Palace Master's teachings, cultivate diligently, and grow stronger as soon as possible. I hope to be with you in the Hundred Sects War."

Ye Xiruo nodded, then stood up and pulled Xiu Qiyu: "Let's go find Master." Xiu Qiyu's older brother suddenly wanted to leave, and to such a dangerous place. She wanted to ask Master for some pills or magic weapons to help Xiu Qiyu protect herself.

"Disciple, you're here. How's this outfit of mine?" Jing Li squinted, a standard foxy smile on his face.

Today, Jing Li changed into a magnificent purple robe, with mysterious patterns outlined in silver threads on the sleeves and belt. Her black hair cascaded down her back, making her look like a demon incarnate.

"Master is naturally the most beautiful." This is a heartfelt compliment.

"My disciple has good taste." A small white jade bottle appeared in Jing Li's hand, held by a pair of slender and perfect hands, as if she were admiring her beloved toy.

"This is the pill I refined yesterday—the Great Rejuvenation Pill."

Ye Xiruo had no concept of the Great Restoration Pill, but judging from the name alone, it seemed very powerful.

Xiu Qiyu's eyes were filled with shock. The Great Restoration Pill was a level ten pill, known as the one that could bring the dead back to life and heal flesh and bone. As long as there was a breath left, it could be saved.

There are fewer than ten people on the entire continent who can refine the Great Rejuvenation Pill. It turns out that Jing Li's claim of being the youngest level nine alchemist on the continent was a lie; his true strength is probably already that of a Pill King. However, the stronger Jing Li is, the safer Xiao Yezi will be.

"Kid, I'll give it to you for my disciple's sake, and I'll spare your life." Jing Li casually tossed the jade bottle to Xiu Qiyu.

Without conscious reflex, Xiu Qiyu had already grasped the pills in his hand. There were three pills in total, each of them being of superior quality.

"This junior thanks the Palace Master."

Ye Xiruo was not very satisfied: "Master, aren't you being a little stingy? Three pills are a bit too few. Do you have any poison pills? Or any healing pills, hemostatic pills, or pills to restore true energy? The more the better!"

Jing Li glared at Ye Xiruo with annoyance: "Do you think the pills I refine are like cabbages? Sold by weight!"

"But we've already shared our lives. If he dies, I'll die too." Ye Xiru blinked, as if she had said something wrong.

"What? What kind of bullshit contract did you and him sign? Is it too late to cancel it?" Jing Li was shocked. Ye Xiruo only felt a phantom flash before her eyes before her master grabbed her wrist: "Relax, I need to check."

Soon, Jing Li discovered the shimmering contract in Ye Xiruo's sea of ​​consciousness. It was half green and half ice blue, blending together. He felt like he had seen this contract in an ancient book. No, he had to go find it.

In his view, Xiu Qiyu was a scourge. How could his talented, gentle, kind, lovely, and beautiful little apprentice be associated with such a person? This contract must be dissolved.

"Little Yezi, are you telling the truth?" Xiu Qiyu was clearly shocked as well.

"Yes, you were seriously injured in the back mountain. If we hadn't saved you, we would all have died. So I risked trying it, and it actually worked."

Xiu Qiyu recalled everything that had happened back then. He truly felt that death was imminent, but then a surge of vitality suddenly rushed into his body. He thought it was some kind of miraculous medicine that Xiao Yezi had given him, but he never expected it to be a life-sharing injury. No wonder Xiao Yezi had just broken through, yet suddenly became so weak.

Why didn't you tell me sooner?

"Actually, I'm a little hesitant to bring this up, since we've already linked our accounts without your consent. I'm sure you'll be angry."
