Zhou Ming rolled his eyes in annoyance, crossed his arms, and looked at Wuxia in front of him.
"How do I know if you're telling the truth or not!" Wuxia turned her head away, a strange sense of guilt rising in her heart.
"We've been working together all this time, and I haven't done anything to offend you, have I? You just gave me a thorough dressing-down, and now I'm supposed to explain why? Believe it or not, it's up to you."
Zhou Ming's angry expression made Wu Xia feel even more guilty.
If it really was the master who asked Zhou Ming to bring him out, then the words he had just said were indeed too harsh.
But why didn't Zhou Ming explain sooner?
If he had explained earlier, I wouldn't have struggled or cursed him at all.
Wuxia quickly came to terms with her own logic, so it was Zhou Ming's fault for not explaining sooner.
"Master, can you really manage alone? Do you recognize that red flower from earlier? How can a flower be so big? It grows in the herb field. Could it be a spiritual herb?"
Wuxia approached Zhou Ming as if nothing had happened, poked his arm, and asked him about something she didn't know.
"I don't know. You can ask your master directly after he comes out." Zhou Ming didn't want to talk to Wuxia.
"Why are you so stingy? I didn't understand, did I? If you had told me earlier that my master made you drag me out, I definitely wouldn't have resisted," Wuxia muttered under her breath.
"I saved you, and now you're blaming me, huh? Fine, fine, I must have had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to have to help Xiao Feng drag you out of this mess!"
Seeing Wuxia's expression of "knowing she's done something wrong but refusing to admit it," Zhou Ming became even angrier.
"Isn't it enough that I apologize to you? How can a grown man like you hold a grudge against a little woman like me? I don't understand the intricacies of human relationships."
"I was just worried about my master. How do you want me to apologize? As long as it won't hurt my master, I'll agree to anything you ask."
Wuxia was, after all, a demon, and her mind was very simple. Seeing that Zhou Ming was still unwilling to forgive her, Wuxia quickly spoke up.
Zhou Ming glanced at Wuxia, and the anger in his heart inexplicably subsided considerably.
Why should he bother arguing with a demon race member who has never seen the outside world and doesn't understand what cunning and treacherous things are?
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with a little girl like you. I really don't know the name of that elixir, but you should trust Xiao Feng. He will definitely be able to defeat it."
Hearing Zhou Ming say this, Wu Xia cautiously asked him, "So you're really not angry anymore, and you won't complain to my master that I'm disobedient?"
Zhou Ming laughed angrily: "I won't tell on you, now you can rest assured."
Wuxia nodded and sat down next to Zhou Ming. The two of them waited for Xiao Feng to come out from inside.
"I wonder when Master will be able to come out," Wuxia said with some worry.
"Even the Demon Emperor's avatar couldn't do anything to him. He's just a spiritual herb. Even if it takes some effort, you should still believe in his strength," Zhou Ming comforted him softly.
However, Xiao Feng's situation at this moment was not as good as the two people outside thought.
Xiao Feng never expected that this wretched flower would be so difficult to deal with!
It even launched a sneak attack.
Xiao Feng originally thought that this broken flower would not be able to leave the place where it grew.
Unexpectedly, its roots had already been secretly lying in ambush underground, directly wrapping around Xiao Feng's legs and lifting him into the air.
He then slammed Xiao Feng heavily to the ground.
If Xiao Feng hadn't possessed a high cultivation level and had spiritual energy protecting him, those blows would have likely turned him into a pulp long ago.
That wasn't enough. The broken flower manipulated its roots, pulling Xiao Feng toward its pistil.
The red stamens quickly wrapped around Xiao Feng's body, digging deep into his flesh.
Xiao Feng tried to struggle, but found that the broken flower was trying to swallow him into its body.
Xiao Feng had been thinking about this all along.
How could I use the Star Absorbing Technique to defeat this broken flower when it had no way to resist?
He absorbed all of its abundant medicinal power into his own body.
If these broken flowers had roots or stamens that could be cut off at any time, Xiao Feng would naturally be unable to achieve his wish.
Perhaps this wretched flower will flee immediately after sensing Xiao Feng's technique.
However, if the broken flower swallows Xiao Feng into its belly, Xiao Feng will directly absorb its medicinal power from the inside.
Even if Po Hua wanted to resist, she probably wouldn't be able to withstand Xiao Feng.
Thinking of this, Xiao Feng stopped struggling and let this damned flower stuff him into its mouth in the center of its flower core, swallowing him into its body.
Xiao Feng fell into a space filled with nectar.
The nectar is rich with a mixture of spiritual and demonic power.
Moreover, Xiao Feng accidentally ingested some nectar and actually felt his mental strength improve.
Xiao Feng hadn't expected the nectar to have such a miraculous effect. He immediately took out a spatial bottle from his system space and quickly absorbed the nectar from the space.
After absorbing all the nectar here, Xiao Feng began to look for other places around where nectar could be stored.
Just as Xiao Feng was about to leave this space, he suddenly felt a violent shaking.
Moreover, the space here is pushing Xiao Feng outwards.
Xiao Feng immediately realized that his actions had alerted the broken flower; he had taken its nectar, and now it wanted to spit him out again.
Xiao Feng sneered, quickly found a protruding spot, gripped it tightly, and then placed his palm against the inner wall of the space, beginning to use the Star Absorbing Technique.
A large amount of pure medicinal power entered Xiao Feng's body through his palm.
Although Xiao Feng didn't know what this spiritual herb was, its immense and pure medicinal power was enough to show its high level.
Xiao Feng has already activated the maximum absorption rate of the Star Absorbing Technique, aiming to absorb as much of the medicinal power of the elixir as possible in the shortest amount of time, leaving it unable to resist him.
The elixir sensed that there was something like a bottomless pit within its body, constantly absorbing its power.
It immediately realized that the human it had just swallowed had used some kind of magic to not only take away its nectar but also absorb its medicinal power.
The elixir wanted to expel Xiao Feng from its body.
It swayed wildly, compressing the space that originally held the nectar.
But it was as if that person had taken root and sprouted inside it, and no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't drive him out.
Lingyao realized that she had encountered a tough opponent.
