Xin Sui frowned, offended by the Li family head's gaze, and continued:
“That lord doesn’t want to be disturbed, so you don’t need to go and pay your respects. Even if you did, he wouldn’t see you. However, to thank me for saving you before, he gave me this.”
She took out a bottle of medicine.
Upon seeing this, the head of the Li family jumped up from his chair.
"This...this is starlight that can help someone break through a major realm? It's effective for those below the Great Star Realm!"
Xin Sui nodded, "That's right."
The head of the Li family looked at the bottle of medicine, his eyes blazing with intense light.
You should know that he has been stuck at the peak of the Middle Star Realm (second-tier ten stars) for a long time. If he can take this bottle of starlight, he will very likely break through to the Great Star Realm (third tier)!
At that time, the overall strength of the Li family will experience a qualitative leap.
Xin Sui placed the potion in front of the Li family head, "Dad, I don't need this bottle of Starlight for the time being. Rather than letting it go to waste in my hands, I might as well give it to you."
She was already prepared to give it away when she took it out.
Anyway, it was Xuan Tu's "pig-raising fee" for her, and there was more than one bottle in her spatial ring, so she didn't feel bad about giving it away at all.
The head of the Li family was breathing heavily. He tried to reach out and take it, but his hand kept trembling.
He was afraid of dropping the medicine, so he stared at it without blinking and dared not touch it.
After his trembling excitement subsided a little, he looked at Xin Sui with great satisfaction and laughed heartily.
"Good! Good! You truly are a good daughter to your father!"
Xin Sui smiled faintly: "That lord also said that if I wish, he can take me to Bright City."
Without a second thought, the head of the Li family blurted out, "Yes! Of course I'm willing!"
He couldn't sit still any longer. He paced back and forth in the room, finally stopping in front of Xin Sui to give her some serious instructions.
"Shirley, you must serve that man well and make sure you win his heart!"
As long as Shirley gets on the good side with that person, even a small thing he leaves behind will be enough for the Li family to enjoy endlessly.
Xin Sui felt disgusted and regretted giving him the advancement potion.
"That sir is still waiting, I cannot stay any longer, I must leave."
"Wait, Sherry, take these crystal coins. How can you travel without some money? We can't let that lord look down on us."
The Li family head took out a box from a hidden chest, opened it, and found it filled with crystal coins.
Xin Sui didn't refuse, "Then I'll accept it."
Consider it as selling him that bottle of Starlight.
The Li family head then instructed her, "When you arrive in Bright City, remember to send a message to your father."
Xin Sui casually replied, "Okay, I understand."
Back in the ruins of the northern city, Xin Sui knocked on the door in the void.
Xiao Ming immediately opened the door.
"Xiao Li, you're finally back! I found the pig you were talking about, look!"
Xin Sui was startled as soon as he stepped into the courtyard.
In the courtyard, there lay a pig-shaped beast as big as a truck!
A pair of tusks resembling those of an ancient mammoth protruded from the beast's mouth.
Its body was covered with sharp spines as thick as chopsticks, like a hedgehog.
Its thick tail is also covered with sharp spikes, like a huge mace.
"What kind of strange beast is this?"
"porcupine."
Xin Sui guessed that this porcupine was probably a mutation of a wild boar.
Looking at its thick skin and tough flesh, its attack power and defense must be amazing.
"You captured this?"
Xin Sui didn't dare get too close, for fear of being pierced by the porcupine's quills.
Xiaoming: "Yeah, this porcupine is too weak. I knocked it out with one punch. Xiaoli, is the meat on its body pork belly? Hurry up and make me some braised pork."
Knock him out?
So this porcupine isn't dead yet?
Startled, Xin Sui took a few steps back and ended up right next to the wall.
"First, remove the crystal core from its body."
The crystal core inside a strange beast is equivalent to the inner core of a demon beast in cultivation novels; if the inner core is gone, the beast's life is over.
Xiaoming: "Okay!"
He landed on the porcupine's head, but he wasn't even as tall as a single quill on the porcupine's body; the contrast in size between the two was stark and the difference was enormous.
Xin Sui found it hard to imagine how little Xiao Ming could take down such a big porcupine with a single punch.
Xiao Ming then brought his five fingers together, transforming them into a knife, and made an opening in the porcupine's head. He then plunged his entire body into the porcupine's head through the opening.
A few seconds later, he came out holding a crystal core the size of a lotus seed.
The size of the crystal nucleus is usually related to the level of the mutated organism; the higher the level, the larger the crystal nucleus.
Crystal cores the size of lotus seeds like these can only be conceived by fourth-tier exotic beasts.
The crystal core that Xin Sui saw at the top of the pyramid in the Li family ancestral hall was also the size of a lotus seed, which means that it came from a Nebula Realm (fourth level) ability user.
The Nebula Realm was the highest level among the Li family's ancestors.
Now, Xiaoming easily took the crystal core from this beast, which was equivalent to a Nebula Realm ability user.
The gap in strength is probably deeper than the ocean.
However, Xiaoming didn't care about levels or strength at all; all he cared about was eating.
He crunched the crystal core a few times, swallowed it, and asked, "Xiao Li, can we make braised pork now?"
Xin Sui: Eating crystal cores raw—only a sentient robot like Xiao Ming could do something so audacious.
"Okay, but we need to deal with this porcupine first."
The fangs, spikes, fur, and everything else had to be cleaned off.
