Chapter 177 Lu Ziting's Affection for Jiang Li

It turns out that this pheasant spirit beast had already been controlled by Gu magic, and the body it was in now was actually that of Shaluoru, who had been pierced through the chest by Ye Li's sword.

Shaluo absorbed his own essence into the bodies of every Gu worm he raised. As long as one Gu worm remained alive, he could be resurrected.

However, this method is not without its price; every time he dies, his abilities are halved.

This time, he could no longer maintain his human form, so he hid inside the pheasant's body and absorbed spiritual energy.

On the day "Jiang Li" proposed to have pheasants, Feng Jingxuan was more than happy to agree.

Once Jiang Li forms a bond with a "spirit beast," she will become a source of nourishment for Sha Luoru.

No matter how one cultivates, spiritual energy will be absorbed by Shaluo.

Once her spiritual power stops growing or grows insufficiently, she will be drained of her spiritual power and die.

Unfortunately, Feng Jingxuan never anticipated that Ye Li only wanted the pheasant's feathers.

Moreover, to prevent Dahei from causing trouble, she has never even formed a pact with a spirit beast.

...

At this moment, Su Ying'er had no idea that she was facing not a spirit beast that could bring her spiritual power, but a death warrant.

Seeing Ye Li and Mo Hannian start fighting, she was sweating profusely and couldn't remember the spell she had just learned for forming a bond.

The sounds of fighting grew increasingly intense.

Ye Li's current physical body is the same as Mo Hannian's, both being top-grade water spiritual roots. Although Mo Hannian is a direct disciple, his cultivation has not progressed for many years due to the Gu poison, and he is still stuck at the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

Therefore, even without using her soul cultivation power, Ye Li still managed to suppress Mo Hannian completely.

When Mo Hannian's sword was knocked away, his face showed extreme humiliation and astonishment.

He was about to pick up his sword when, in the next second, the blade was already at his throat.

Ye Li said coldly, "If you don't hand over the spirit beast, don't blame the swords for being merciless."

Mo Hannian gritted his teeth, "Why are you so vicious! Master clearly promised you that you could choose any treasures from the Tianmen Sect, so why are you making things difficult for Ying'er!"

Ye Li's gaze passed over Mo Hannian and landed on Qingyu Zhenren.

He didn't make a move at all. After all, it was one thing for Mo Hannian to fight her for the spirit beast, but if the dignified Qingyu Zhenren did the same, wouldn't people gossip about him?

However, Master Qingyu probably didn't expect that Mo Hannian would be no match for Jiang Li, an outer disciple.

For a moment, the atmosphere became tense.

Ye Li raised her head, her tone icy, "If the Lotus Sect doesn't hand over the spirit beast today, I will not rest. I will report to the elders and let the entire Heavenly Gate Sect see how the Lotus Sect colludes and bullies others!"

Just as Ye Li was going all out, Xie Sixing's voice suddenly rang in her mind.

"Young Taoist priest, this spirit beast is not right. Let's forget about it and take the magic weapon instead."

Ye Li:?

Why didn't you say so sooner!

She's already said all those harsh words, and now she's suddenly asking for the magic weapon. Doesn't she have any dignity left?

Xie Sixing's tone revealed a mischievous and amused interest, "Listen to me, just let her form a contract, there will definitely be a good show to watch."

A lot of agonizing over.

Ye Li stiffly removed the sword from Mo Hannian's neck.

Mo Hannian was quite surprised and said with a stern face, "Didn't you say you wouldn't release them until you got the spirit beast? What's going on now!"

Ye Li swallowed hard. "I've thought about it again, and I think I'll still take the magic weapon."

Mo Hannian was stunned for a moment, "What?"

Her transformation was so sudden that not only was Mo Hannian incredulous, but even Qingyu Zhenren was momentarily stunned.

Lu Ziting assumed Ye Li was being coerced. He could no longer contain himself and angrily said, "Junior Sister Jiang Li, this is yours. It's only right that you take it back. How can you give it up so easily!"

That's true...

Her sudden abandonment did indeed raise suspicions, even causing Su Ying'er, who was trying to form a contract spell, to stop.

Ye Li appeared calm and collected on the surface, but inside she was already breaking down, "How am I supposed to explain this?!"

Xie Sixing smiled knowingly, "I say, Master Dao, you've been guarding this clown for so long, and you haven't learned a single move? Just repeat what she said earlier."

That seems to make sense.

Ye Li coughed lightly, "Although this spirit beast is mine, it can still be of use to my fellow disciples, so it's a good thing."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ziting was deeply moved.

It was clearly Su Ying'er who was immoral and stole the spirit beast, but Junior Sister Jiang Li actually disregarded past grievances and gave the spirit beast back.

The difference in skill is immediately apparent!

Lu Ziting had admired Jiang Li before in the Golden Sands Fantasy Realm, and now he found her even more wonderful.

Unable to resist stepping forward, he said, "Junior Sister Jiang Li is so understanding. Besides the magic treasure that Master promised, I also owe you a favor. If you ever need anything in the future, I will do my best to help you."

Ye Li's first reaction was that it wasn't necessary, but when she saw Su Ying'er gritting her teeth out of the corner of her eye, she nodded, "Okay."

Sure enough, Su Ying'er, whose eyes had just been red-rimmed, burst into tears instantly, pitifully calling out to Mo Hannian, "Brother—"

Just as she was about to say something, the pheasant suddenly moved.

As soon as Shaluo opened his eyes, he saw Su Ying'er's face magnified in front of him. He reacted for a moment, then asked in bewilderment, "Why are you so close to me?"

To leave a good impression on the spirit beast, Su Ying'er quickly wiped away her tears, blinked her watery eyes, and approached, "You're awake."

The pheasant was a head shorter than Su Ying'er, and from this angle, Sha Luoru could just see Su Ying'er's snot hanging down. He instantly became irritated, "Get away from me! Your snot is about to drip onto me!"

Su Ying'er blushed deeply, covering her face with a handkerchief. "How could you say that? I... am your master. But don't worry, I will treat you like family. Come, let's form a bond."

Shaluo looked down on her completely, "You're crazy, form a contract with me and get lost!"

He needs disciples with abundant spiritual power. As for Su Ying'er, a mere mortal, who knows when he'll be able to regain human form?

Su Ying'er was pushed backward by Sha Luoru's wings and fell heavily to the ground.

"ah!"

With Su Ying'er falling, there was no one to shield her from view, and Sha Luoru was able to see Ye Li.

He froze, his eyes wide with rage, "I'm going to kill you!"

Ye Li frowned slightly. That voice...

Shaluo wanted to rush up to take revenge, but in Qingyu Zhenren's eyes, it became that it wanted to attack Su Ying'er.

Several golden beams fell, instantly transforming into pillars of light that bound him tightly.

"You beast, cease your disrespect!"

Shaluo was weak when he first woke up and was pinned to the ground, unable to move.

Mo Hannian quickly pulled Su Ying'er up from the ground, "Master has subdued the pheasant for you, quickly form a contract!"

Unable to struggle, Sha Luo shook his head incessantly, appearing like a madman, "Su Ying'er! You fucking made a pact with me, do you want to die?!"
