Her words did not appease Qiyue; instead, they softened her expression: "But he saved you, and you repay kindness with enmity?"
Iris was speechless: "Then what do you want to do?"
"..." Qi Yue looked at her, a smile slowly curving up her lips, before a sudden sword pierced her heart.
"You! Pfft!" Iris spat out a mouthful of blood, looking at Qiyue with a pained expression. She never expected that Qiyue would attack her because of a mere cultivator.
Calmly wiping away the blood, dozens of sword intents filled with killing intent pierced through Iris's body, and a fiery red, translucent demon core fell into Qiyue's hand.
When Iris died, she couldn't believe what was happening before her eyes. Her eyes were wide open as she stared at Qiyue, and filled with resentment, she transformed into a small red fox.
Ji Su, standing at the cave entrance, was deathly pale. Yun Huai's eyes darted around. "Junior Sister, don't be angry. When I saw her in the beast cage at the Alchemist Guild, she was very well hidden. Her fiery red fur was smooth and silky. I saw that you really liked the white spirit fox that Third Senior Sister gave you, so I thought of giving it to you. Who knew..."
"Who knew she was actually a rare and alluring fox spirit? You fell for her trap without even realizing it, didn't you?" Qi Yue's voice was cold.
Yun Huai's eyes darted away, and he dared not speak.
Qiyue wiped the blood off the sword and tossed the demon core to him: "If you don't want to die, hurry up and refine this demon core."
“Okay!” Yun Huai replied obediently.
Ji Su kicked the red fox's corpse far away, his eyes filled with confusion: "Junior Uncle, since you were going to kill this red fox, why did you give it back to her...?"
He didn't say anything more, but Qiyue understood what he meant.
He meant to ask, since you've already decided to kill the red fox, why are you still helping her?
Qiyue sheathed her sword, her expression calm: "The seductive fox is inherently lewd. If you kill her during her heat, her demon core will be destroyed, and any man who has intercourse with her will die from exhaustion. So we must help her get through her heat first."
Ji Su nodded understandingly.
Qiyue breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, during my seclusion, I had already developed a elixir to suppress her heat cycle, otherwise...
However, this iris shouldn't be here, so why...?
She frowned in thought. Even if Yun Huai, who was refining the demon core, was stupid, he would understand that he had been tricked.
Qiyue naturally understood the connection between them as well. She glanced at Ji Su and asked, "During the competition, did anyone come looking for you?"
"Yes." Ji Su nodded without hesitation: "The sect leader of Hengyang Sect came to see me. She said she wanted to give me something that is extremely rare."
As he spoke, he observed Qiyue's expression. Seeing that she remained calm, he said, "However, this disciple refuses."
"Hmm, that's good. However, remember to stay as far away as possible from anyone from the Hengyang Sect in the future." Qi Yue's eyes were dark.
[It really is related to that stinking pile of dog shit, Xia Wanqing.]
[I just don't know if this iris was stolen from the Cloud Sect, as mentioned in the original story.]
Thinking this, a strange look appeared on Qiyue's face. Yun Huai also felt a little alarmed. Xia Wanqing, who was suffering repeated defeats, was still so difficult to deal with. One could imagine what their situation would have been like if her luck had not been damaged and their junior sister had never appeared.
After refining the demon core, not only did the feeling of soreness, fatigue, and weakness throughout his body disappear, but his cultivation level also improved.
Having regained his former radiance, Yun Huai kept massaging Qi Yue's shoulders: "Junior Sister, my gratitude and admiration for you are like a never-ending river..."
"Stop flattering me." Qi Yue coldly brushed him aside: "Are you an idiot? Or are you overflowing with saintly compassion? You'd save anything? The fate of the world rests on your shoulders, you good-hearted brother."
She spoke coldly, completely disregarding the fact that Ji Su was present, and Yun Huai simply lowered his head and obediently listened to the scolding.
He was indeed in the wrong, even though his original intention was to please his junior sister.
Qiyue, standing beside him, seemed to see through Yun Huai's thoughts: "I know your intentions are good, but can you ask others for their opinions before you start?"
"I heard it, I heard it with both ears." Yun Huai tugged at his ears.
Qi Yue glared at him and didn't say anything more. Ji Su had a faint smile on his face. Only his junior uncle could control this old man.
Suddenly, Qiyue felt something being pulled out of her body in an instant, and her eyes lit up.
It's done!
That was the sensation of the puppetry technique failing, and the failure of the puppetry technique could only mean one thing: Ling Qing'er was dead, and her plan had succeeded.
Yun Huai's gaze deepened. "It's done? What's done?"
Sure enough, not long after, Qiyue received a message from Yuanji.
Ling Qing'er is dead, Luo Wuji is seriously injured, and Hengyang Sect is left with only its disciples and Xia Wanqing, the useless sect leader. The Demon King witnessed Luo Wuji stealing the demon race's sacred artifact, and a great war between the two races is about to break out.
However, the most exciting part was that Yuan Ji somehow managed to retrieve the communication bead and give it back to Xia Wanqing.
"Yuan Ji, I knew I hadn't misjudged you." Looking at the alluring woman in front of her, Qi Yue's admiration was undisguised.
With a wave of his hand, he bestowed upon Yuan Ji a Heavenly Rank 8 spiritual treasure, a Heavenly Rank 7 Rejuvenation Pill, and a Mirror-Breaking Pill.
Yuan Ji's face lit up, and she knelt down heavily: "Yuan Ji thanks Master for his cultivation!"
Qiyue reached out and pulled her up: "You're smart. Your only opponents right now are the Nine-Headed Lion and the Wind Demon Wolf. Although these two demons are powerful, they both have hidden injuries..."
As she said this, she beckoned with her finger, and Yuan Ji leaned closer. She whispered something in Yuan Ji's ear, and Yuan Ji's eyes lit up. Then she kowtowed heavily.
"Yuan Ji will certainly live up to Master's expectations!"
"Go ahead, I believe in you." Qi Yue smiled as she looked at her.
As for the Alchemist Guild, someone will naturally help her deal with it.
A malicious glint shone in Qiyue's eyes.
After bringing Yun Huai and Ji Su back to the sect, Qi Yue's lips never left her mouth as she listened to the news Jin Linshu had received.
Le Luoxi's mouth twitched again and again: "Junior Sister, you've been laughing for seven or eight days now, is your face alright?"
Qiyue touched her face, grimaced, and pinched her cheek again: "It's okay."
Le Luoxi exclaimed in surprise, "Amazing!"
"The sect leader of Fanyin Sect is dead." Song Yanzhuo landed with his arms crossed, looking at Qiyue with a calm expression.
July raised an eyebrow: "Who killed him?"
Song Yanzhuo narrowed his eyes and uttered an unexpected name: "Xia Wanqing."
Le Luoxi frowned: "That's not right, how could she, a mere Golden Core cultivator, kill a Nascent Soul cultivator?"
Qiyue laughed: "Of course she can't kill him, she's just going to finish him off."
"You know?" Upon hearing this, the two looked at Qiyue simultaneously.
