Chapter 57 Second Brother Missed a Billion

The person on the bed moved.

Bai Xiaoxiao finally put her thoughts aside and thought about the important matter: "Brother, what about Brother Que?"

Qi Rong tapped the cup lightly and asked instead of answering, "Junior sister, do you have any good suggestions?"

"I……"

Bai Xiaoxiao didn't know how to respond for a moment. She wanted to get rid of Que Tianwen, this burden, from the bottom of her heart. If for no other reason, she had already suffered so much just from being in love. But the mission was linked to an 8 million bonus, and she was unwilling to give up the mission just like that.

[Who can show me a clear path...]

The little girl supported her cheek and slid down to the table, lying down. Her troubled look was so adorable. Qi Rong chuckled and put down the teacup. She tapped the table lightly with her fingertips, and a small, translucent white porcelain bottle suddenly appeared.

Bai Xiaoxiao was surprised: "What is this?"

"medicine."

Qi Rong's answer was concise and to the point, as he pushed the white porcelain bottle in front of her. "Since Junior Sister can't make a decision, then the simplest solution is to leave it to fate. This small porcelain bottle is a magical elixir that can alleviate Junior Brother Que's pain, but... the final outcome depends on Junior Brother Que's luck."

His voice was like the rippling of a clear and cool stream, yet at the same time it carried a kind of gentleness that could soothe people's hearts.

Bai Xiaoxiao felt that what Qi Rong said made sense, but she somehow felt that his words were not as easy and simple as they seemed. She took the white porcelain bottle handed to her by Qi Rong, and felt a chill in her handshake, but this was the only way at the moment.

She nodded slightly, put down the little red fox, walked to the bed, unscrewed the cork, lifted Que Tianwen's head, and poured the elixir into his mouth.

"You are really something."

Hua Yanci lay on the table, turning his head to stare at the man calmly drinking tea. He could not speak in his original form, but he could still communicate with Qi Rong's consciousness. "Use that holy-grade Tianshan elixir to treat him. There's no need to worry that Que Tianwen will not be able to withstand the effects and die."

"That's his fate."

Qi Rong's demeanor remained elegant and leisurely as he sipped his tea, but a deep light flashed in his eyes. "Listen to fate and follow your destiny. Cultivators all adhere to the law of cause and effect. Whether Junior Brother Que can recover from his serious illness depends on the good fortune and opportunity bestowed upon him by heaven. If he can't survive this ordeal, then all the elixirs, however good, will be but a drop in the ocean of hopeless hope."

"Oh, that sounds really nice."

Hua Yanci lazily shook Sanwei, his eyes filled with disdain and disgust: "No matter how good fate is, it can't withstand human abuse. To put it bluntly, you just want him to die."

Qi Rong raised an eyebrow: "Oh? You don't want to?"

Hua Yanci stretched lazily: "I think so, so I didn't expose you."

They were all very curious about what kind of "destiny" Que Tianwen carried that could cause their junior sister to struggle and suffer so much.

The bottle of medicine was quickly empty.

Bai Xiaoxiao put Que Tianwen back on the bed and sat back at the table with the empty bottle in hand: "Is this...okay?"

Qi Rong put away the porcelain bottle and said softly, "Well, not bad."

Hua Yanci jumped back onto his hind legs and nestled back into Bai Xiaoxiao's arms.

Bai Xiaoxiao hesitated, but still asked, "Third Brother, this bottle of medicine... is it very expensive?"

[It must be something extraordinary to be able to cure Que Tianwen's severe internal injuries. It's over, it's over. I owe him a huge favor this time.]

"It's not as valuable as you think." Qi Rong replied, "Medicinal herbs are rare, but they are not impossible to find. If you really feel bad, Junior Sister, why not promise me one thing."

Bai Xiaoxiao blinked: "What's the matter?"

Hua Yanci glared at the "villainous" man in white with disdain, and then stretched out his front paws to cover Bai Xiaoxiao's ears in frustration.

Don't jump into the pit, you little fool!

But Bai Xiaoxiao pulled down the little fox's paw and held it down: "Third Brother, you speak."

Hua Yanci felt that the hair on his head was standing up in anger.

Qi Rong's smile grew even more cheerful. He slowly raised his teacup and took another sip. Seeing a certain fox's fur standing up, and the puzzled and adorable look on his Junior Sister's face, he gently said, "It's not a big deal. I know Junior Sister is a very good cook. I've seen you cook delicious food for Senior Brother so many times before, and I... am actually quite envious."

"Because of my poor health, my diet is extremely limited. If Junior Sister is willing, could you please leave an extra portion for me when you cook for Senior Brother? Of course, if my request is too much trouble, Junior Sister, it's okay if you ignore it."

As he spoke, his voice gradually became lower and slower.

The silhouette of the drooping crow feathers contrasts with his pale skin, making him look even more fragile, with a sense of silent loneliness and broken beauty.

Bai Xiaoxiao watched, her heart suddenly filled with maternal love. "Third Brother, stop talking... From now on, I'll make whatever you want to eat for you, whether it's something that flies in the sky, runs on the ground, swims in the water, or grows from trees in the soil. Even if I really can't do it, I can learn!"

Hua Yanci was stunned by the lofty ambition.

How could that green tea bitch be treated so well?

wrong……

The little apprentice sister actually knows how to cook???

Hua Yanci felt like she had missed out on a lot.

Qi Rong put his hand under his lips to hide his widening smile, coughed twice and said, "Well, thank you, Junior Sister."

"It's okay, leave it to me."

Bai Xiaoxiao patted her chest generously.

But now she can't imagine how miserable, tired and regretful she will be in the future.

But now.

Bai Xiaoxiao looked at the bright sky and said to Qi Rong excitedly, "We finally have some free time. Third Brother, shall we go out and have some fun?"

Seeing the little girl's excitement, Qi Rong's eyes were also filled with joy. He softly hummed in agreement with Bai Xiaoxiao's suggestion, and then said again: "Then you can keep the little fox here."

"ah?"

Bai Xiaoxiao, who was about to cheer, was caught off guard. She looked at her third senior brother in a daze, and the little fox in her arms was grinning and its fur was standing on end.

Qi Rong ignored Hua Yanci's warning and threatening look, still smiling at Bai Xiaoxiao, "I know Junior Sister is very fond of her new pet, but the mortal world is not like the world of immortal cultivation. If it was just an ordinary fox, it would be fine, but a fox with a three-day tail would cause considerable trouble."

Bai Xiaoxiao felt that what he said made sense, especially when he added at the end, 'Besides, he also suffered considerable injuries in the previous war, so he should rest and recuperate.'

She put the little fox on the table: "Or you..."

“Whoosh—”

The little red fox placed its front paws firmly on her shoulders.

Bai Xiaoxiao didn't understand fox language, but she inexplicably felt a threat of "If you dare to leave me here, I will bite your lover to death."
