Chapter 229 Is it worth it?
Even though Xie Mingzhu had known that these people were unreliable, she did not expect them to change their attitude towards her so quickly.
Throwing the firewood in his arms to the ground, Xie Liuyin angrily said, "What do you mean? You clearly agreed to take Si Feiyu in, but you didn't take good care of the storage bag, and now you come to blame me?"
"Why don't you think about it? If it weren't for me, how could Master be so tolerant of you and give you whatever you want?"
No one would give kindness to others for no reason. The reason why these Beast King Sect disciples were so flattering and protective of Xie Mingzhu before was mostly because her master was now the great elder in charge of the sect.
And for some unknown reason, this great elder was very fond of Xie Mingzhu, a half-time apprentice.
Many disciples received preferential treatment from the Great Elder because of their close relationship with Xie Mingzhu.
Because of this, these people tried to please Xie Mingzhu even more, fearing that they would not take good care of this little sister and make the Great Elder angry.
But things are different now.
The benefits they received from the Great Elder were not even one tenth of what was in their storage bags.
Feeling that they had suffered too much of a loss, the group now had no elixirs or magic weapons left. Not to mention taking care of Xie Mingzhu, they themselves couldn't even guarantee that they could survive safely in the secret realm for more than half a year.
How can I have the time to take care of Xie Mingzhu now?
But Xie Mingzhu didn't understand this point, or even if she did, she didn't think she had done anything wrong.
She prided herself on her noble status and deserved to be flattered by these mortals. But now that they had changed their attitude towards her and were ready to order her around, how could Xie Mingzhu tolerate this?
Anyway, the relationship between the two sides has become strained, so Xie Mingzhu is not afraid of completely breaking off relations with them.
She simply said, "Anyway, I won't do this kind of chores anymore. Whoever wants to do it can do it!"
"Ha! We're already in the secret realm, and you still want to act like a rich lady? To tell you the truth, we don't have the supplies in the storage bag now, and life in the secret realm will probably be ten times more difficult than before. If you are not willing to work with us and overcome the difficulties together, then our team will not welcome you to eat for free."
The formation of their camp was destroyed by Nasi Feiyu, and it was troublesome to rearrange it now. In addition, the food of the spirit beasts was in the storage bag, which was also robbed, and the spirit beasts were still hungry.
They were busy doing so many tasks and only assigned the easiest one to Xie Mingzhu.
However, they didn't expect that the other party was not only ungrateful, but also said such words, making it clear that he didn't want to seek survival in the secret realm with them.
I don’t know if it was because their blood was aroused, but several disciples asked Xie Mingzhu to get out of their camp. They would not accept someone who would just sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor.
"No wonder Qingxiao Sect hates your family so much. If we had known you were such a person, we would definitely not have followed you!" Another disciple complained angrily.
But this is somewhat false.
After seeing what Xie Mingzhu and the Xie couple have been doing over the past few years, how could they not see clearly?
Previously, they only gathered around Xie Mingzhu and tried to please her because they could gain more benefits by being on good terms with the Xie family.
Now it is just a natural choice that Xie Mingzhu cannot bring them greater benefits, but instead causes them to suffer losses.
Xie Mingzhu was driven out of their temporary camp and was not even allowed to take a spirit stone with her.
During this period, Xie Mingzhu once encountered a monster and was almost eaten by it.
She was not a cautious person to begin with. In her previous life, she was protected by so many people and had never suffered any hardship.
Although this life was not so smooth, most of the time she was able to avoid all fatal disasters as if she had divine help.
Because of this past, Xie Mingzhu never thought about practicing well.
After she learned of her identity as the reincarnation of a goddess, she became even more unscrupulous, thinking that as long as she lived well, it was only a matter of time before she ascended to the immortal world.
Under such circumstances, it would be strange if Xie Mingzhu practiced hard and learned the knowledge about the monsters in the secret realm.
But at the critical moment, her goddess halo came into play again. Just when the monster was about to swallow her, several dark figures fell and killed the monster directly.
Xie Liuyin was covered in the burning beast blood, causing her to scream in fear.
"Shut up!" A charming voice sounded. Although it didn't sound very loud, it immediately covered up Xie Mingzhu's shrill scream.
Xie Mingzhu was not willing to listen, but seeing the sword on her neck, she had no choice but to shut up.
"You, who are you? Why are you pointing swords at me?" Xie Mingzhu's voice trembled. "I tell you, I am the disciple of the Great Elder of the Beast King Sect. If you dare to attack me, my master will never let you go!"
The ten people in front of him were all covered in wide black cloaks, with no part of their bodies exposed.
Hearing Xie Mingzhu's question, one of them slowly walked out.
As the man approached, the other person's face hidden under the wide black robe finally revealed the tip of the iceberg.
Seeing this, Xie Mingzhu's eyes widened instantly: "You, you are demons..."
"A demon cultivator, right?" That person finished his words first. "What's so surprising about this? You used to have such a close relationship with my brother, so how could you be afraid of us little demon cultivators?"
The woman's charming voice sounded again, and Xie Mingzhu saw something familiar in the half of her face that was revealed.
After hearing clearly what the woman was saying, her pupils trembled slightly.
The last demon cultivator who was close to her was Si Yu!
"Remember?" Seeing Xie Mingzhu's expression, the female demon cultivator raised her lips, "I knew you would remember. My name is Si Wu. From today on, you will be with us."
The woman's tone was gentle, as if she was whispering to her lover.
But these ambiguous words, when heard by Xie Mingzhu, only sounded terrifying.
"I learned from my stupid brother that Miss Xie has a special ability that can find out the locations of the treasures in the secret realm."
"Can I ask Miss Xie to help us and take us on a treasure hunt?"
Xie Mingzhu didn't answer, but the female cultivator's sharp nails had already pinched her face.
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell Miss Xie. I am a person who values rules the most. As long as Miss Xie is willing to help, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."
"Every time I find a treasure, I will leave one less scar on your body - this deal is a good deal, isn't it?"
…
“It’s a good deal, what a good deal!”
Biyun took out a beautiful high-quality beast pill from the corpse of the monster on the ground, and happily held it in her hand to examine it.
"It's really worthwhile for us to take in this fellow Daoist Si. Ever since she joined our team, the job of hunting and killing monsters has become a lot easier. She is worthy of being a genius born in the Si family, a family of beast tamers!" Biyun said with emotion.
As Xie Liuyin listened to her words, his eyes unconsciously fell on the female cultivator in the distance.
Their team was getting closer and closer to the Fiery Mountain, and she had a hunch that Si Feiyu's opportunity was in that mountain.
