Xiao Canglan: "Qinghe, you're so smart."
Gingerbread: "Senior Brother Xiao, now is not the time for you to flatter me!"
Su Qinghe blushed and turned her head away, while Xiao Canglan also pretended to look around shyly.
"Who's the tallest?" Wen Yuzhao cleared his throat. "So, one step can equal two steps as they rush over?"
Gingerbread was going crazy. "Second Brother, how come your IQ dropped so quickly? Look at the distance! Even if Senior Brother Xiao tore his pants, he still couldn't reach it!"
Xiao Canglan: "..."
"Pfft~" Su Qinghe blinked. "Sorry, you made me laugh~"
"Then what do you suggest?" Wen Yuzhao also rejected his previous statement. "Everyone, let's brainstorm quickly."
The four people stood in the middle of the field, not daring to move.
“Buzz buzz buzz—”
I heard the sound of bees in a very quiet environment.
Su Qinghe turned around and looked back, exclaiming in surprise, "Oh my, so many bees are flying over!"
Wen Yuzhao: "It's a sand wasp that feeds specifically on the powder of the green butterfly. Getting stung by this thing will kill you even faster."
They watched as the sand dunes flew by menacingly.
Everyone was getting anxious.
Gingerbread had a brilliant idea!
“I’ve got it! Second Senior Brother, you carry Senior Brother Xiao for five steps, and let Senior Brother Xiao pick the butterfly tail flowers for the remaining five steps.”
Xiao Canglan said weakly, "It doesn't look good for two grown men to carry her. Can I carry Junior Sister Su instead?"
"You're kidding me~" If Su Qinghe could move now, she would have punched him. "Xiaobing and I have short legs, and we each only have six steps left, which probably won't be enough."
"I was wrong, I was wrong." Xiao Canglan jumped onto Wen Yuzhao's back in one breath.
That's ridiculously fast!
Wen Yuzhao almost tripped and fell before he could react.
Gingerbread stared at Xiao Canglan's upturned buttocks, then turned its head away, unable to bear the sight.
Several sand wasps flew over quickly.
Gingerbread threw out a small defensive array.
The array plate hovered in the air, casting a light shield that enclosed her and Su Qinghe inside.
Wen Yuzhao put Xiao Canglan down.
Xiao Canglan took his long strides and just managed to reach out and grab the butterfly flower on his sixth step.
He exclaimed excitedly, "I got it! I got it!"
Everyone was overjoyed.
Xiao Canglan paused, then suddenly fell silent.
"But how can I deliver it to you?"
"......"
Gingerbread knew why Senior Sister Su hadn't gotten together with him yet; she was just being a loner.
"Senior Brother Xiao, why don't you just eat it and neutralize the poison so you can come over?"
"Right, right, right!" Xiao Canglan swallowed the butterfly flower in one gulp, chewed it for a while, and then remembered, "By the way, you guessed that the root of this thing has an antidote, right?"
Gingerbread: "Mmm!"
"If it weren't for the antidote, wouldn't I be close to death?" Xiao Canglan asked with a bitter expression.
Wen Yuzhao nodded with a smile, "That's right, Brother Xiao."
The second senior brother always speaks gently but hurtful words.
Su Qinghe looked slightly anxious, her eyes reddening. "Senior Brother Xiao, how are you feeling right now?"
Xiao Canglan paused, then gradually frowned. "I feel a bit uncomfortable; my skin feels like it's being burned."
"What?" Su Qinghe panicked.
Xiao Canglan smiled indulgently and comforted her, "Qinghe, I'm fine. If I can hear you call me Canglan before I die, then I will die without regrets."
"Senior Brother Xiao, you can't die, sob sob~"
Su Qinghe sobbed.
"Canglan~"
“Actually—” Gingerbread tried to interrupt but failed.
"Qinghe!"
"Canglan, canglan, canglan~"
"...Calm down, calm down!" Gingerbread interrupted the young couple, both amused and exasperated.
"Actually, the burning sensation on the skin is a way of detoxifying. Senior Brother Xiao, you're alright now. Come back quickly and give us the antidote."
She glanced at Wen Yuzhao.
Wen Yuzhao shrugged, his eyes conveying the message: "You've got a stupid joke on me, haven't you?"
Gingerbread exhaled and blew a gust of wind through her bangs, shrugging in return, "How am I supposed to know they actually believe it!"
Surprisingly, the two of them are quite a good match.
Xiao Canglan quickly sent over the butterfly-tail flower.
Gingerbread threw the whole flower into its mouth, eating it as roughly as a cow chewing on a peony.
Wen Yuzhao and Su Qinghe gracefully pinched off the top and bottom, slowly sucking the sap from the stems and leaves.
He clicked his tongue twice as he burned away.
Gingerbread controlled the twitching in the corner of her eye.
“If you want to mock me, just say so,” she said to Fen Jue.
Fen Jue raised his hands and clapped them. "Mocking? I admire Fairy Bing's extreme intelligence and quick thinking in resolving similar situations. She was able to save everyone from dire straits so quickly."
Cake Fairy.
What an awful title.
She was utterly speechless and ignored Fen Jue.
The sand bee, unable to detect the scent of the green butterfly powder, fluttered its tiny wings and headed home.
Gingerbread summoned palm fire to burn the sand wasps that hadn't left.
"I'd rather fight a real battle; poisons are impossible to guard against," Xiao Canglan said, frowning.
Gingerbread: "Senior Brother Xiao, the Nine Heavens Sect Master is a ninth-grade alchemist, how come you know nothing about medicine—"
It's fair to say they know absolutely nothing about it.
Xiao Canglan explained, "The Nine Heavens Sect mainly focuses on alchemy and possesses immense wealth. However, the sect lacks combat power from elders to disciples, so my master told me to focus on cultivation."
That's true.
You need to have the ability to protect the money you make.
After the four of them recovered, they continued walking forward, passing through the herb field and arriving at the main gate of the courtyard.
What's weird is.
This door doesn't have a door panel installed!
There was only a square door frame, and on either side of the door stood two-meter-tall bronze statues holding iron hammers.
Gingerbread was dumbfounded.
"Mr. Huang, your aesthetic sense is quite unique."
"..." Old Huang looked at the completely destroyed cave dwelling and drew circles in his eyes with melancholy. "It wasn't like this when I lived here. That bastard Song Yuechen did it."
"It's my idol's house~"
Su Qinghe clenched her small fists and was the first to rush forward.
"Clang!!—"
"Qinghe, watch out!" Xiao Canglan raised his giant axe to block the iron hammer that Tong Xiang swung.
The bronze statue at the entrance has moved!
Wen Yuzhao said seriously, "They are bronze puppets, equivalent to the Nascent Soul Realm. They are invulnerable to swords and spears, which is a bit troublesome."
There were four people present.
Only Xiao Canglan and Su Qinghe are at the Nascent Soul stage.
Wen Yuzhao appears to be at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage, inheriting the demonic power of the Phoenix Cry Kingdom Lord, capable of destroying these two puppets with a single punch.
But there are outsiders here!
He cannot reveal that he is a demon cultivator.
As for Gingerbread, she's a junior disciple at the Foundation Establishment stage.
Gingerbread clasped her hands in a fist salute and said with a fawning smile, "Senior Sister Su, Senior Brother Xiao is counting on you!"
"Second Brother, could you lend a hand a little from the sidelines?"
After she finished speaking, she took out two small knives and went back to the herb field to frantically harvest the spiritual plants.
Xiao Canglan's giant axe blocked another copper hammer from the puppet.
He turned to ask, "Brother Wen, has your junior sister always been so stingy?"
Wen Yuzhao tried to explain, but when he turned around, he saw Jiang Bingbing's back as she happily worked in the medicinal herb field.
He choked up.
After a while.
He said to Xiao Canglan in a very serious tone.
"Junior Sister is upholding justice."
Xiao Canglan: "?"
Okay, he's convinced!
