Xiao Li shook her head. "But I don't want to stay here. Peach blossoms are beautiful, but I'll get tired of seeing them every day."
When Yao Mei heard Xiao Li say that the peach blossoms were beautiful, she was overjoyed, and her voice was filled with excitement.
"Haha, I knew the beauty liked me too. She really is the one I've set my sights on."
This entire area, spanning thousands of miles, is my territory. You can see whatever you want; I can provide you with a different view every single day of the year.
Xiao Li activated her magic, and her entire demeanor instantly turned icy.
Yao Mei paused, "So you're a demonic cultivator. No wonder I like you so much. You're even more likable now that you're so cold."
"We're such a perfect match, one of us is warm and the other is cold and aloof."
Xiao Li was somewhat impressed by her. She then summoned Youyou, and the sacred fire made the surrounding area even hotter.
Yao Mei screamed, "How do you have a strange fire? Put it away quickly!"
As expected, plants are afraid of fire.
"How about it? You admit defeat now, or I'll burn this peach grove down and force you to reveal your true form."
Yao Mei reluctantly came out. "Fairy, I'm so beautiful, although I'm a little less beautiful than you, but don't you really like me?"
Xiao Li showed a look of disgust, and Yao Mei was heartbroken. Xiao Li sat down and began to state her conditions.
"Hand over all your treasures, let me see if it's enough to redeem you."
Yao Mei looked aggrieved. The fairy was too insensitive. However, she still obediently opened the inner space.
The treasures she collected were either left behind by cultivators who had passed through over the centuries, or were obtained by chance in the vicinity.
Xiao Li shook her head. This demon was too poor. It didn't have anything valuable. The most valuable thing it had was a small pile of spirit stones and some broken magic artifacts.
Yao Mei stared at Xiao Li's face, then took out the wine again and poured it for Xiao Li.
"Fairy, in my peach blossom grove, you can admire the peach blossoms, taste fine wine, and enjoy delicious peaches. Don't you really want to stay?"
Xiao Li watched her with great interest. This demon was really interesting; she was flexible and adaptable. It was a waste of her talent not to be an actress.
Xiao Li picked up the junk from the ground, which Yao Mei found very distressing, but there was nothing she could do; a demon under the eaves had no choice but to bow her head.
"This wine is good, give it all to me."
Upon hearing this, Yao Mei felt no reluctance. She had brewed a lot of this wine, and she could continue to brew as much as she wanted in the future.
With a wave of her hand, Yao Mei conjured up thousands upon thousands of jars of wine.
Xiao Li could tell what she was up to from her teasing look, but she was going to disappoint her.
The space has now become very vast, enough to hold as many jars of wine as there are.
Yao Mei kept taking things out, and Xiao Li kept taking them back. After an hour, Yao Mei was almost sweating.
Is this fairy's storage bag really that big? It's like a bottomless pit.
Another hour passed, and Yao Mei finally behaved herself. She brought out all her wine, and Xiao Li collected it all. Not a single wine jar was left outside.
"Fairy, I am completely convinced. I am willing to follow you and acknowledge you as my master."
Yao Mei knew that this amount of wine was not enough for her to redeem herself, and she readily decided to acknowledge the fairy as her master. The fairy was beautiful and had high cultivation, so she would not be at a disadvantage.
Xiao Li had no intention of accepting her.
"Release all your miasma so my spirit pet can absorb it and help it advance a small rank. Then we can call it even."
Yao Mei was taken aback. Was it really going to be resolved so easily? Of course she wanted to be free, so she readily agreed.
The moment the little wooden tree appeared, she regretted it. This was a sacred tree; to advance its level, she might have to sacrifice a thousand years of cultivation and still not be able to succeed.
"Fairy, please spare me! I'll never do it again!"
Xiao Li almost laughed in exasperation at her dejected look.
"What are you afraid of? Little Wood is about to advance in rank, you won't suffer too much loss."
Yao Mei then released the miasma with tears in her eyes. Little Wood sat under the peach tree, meditating and cultivating, and all the miasma went towards his small body.
Half a month later, Yao Mei looked like she had been ravaged, haggard and exhausted. Fortunately, Xiao Mutou had stopped cultivating.
Xiao Li put him back into her spatial storage, stabilized her cultivation, and returned.
Yao Mei lost six hundred years of cultivation this time, and she needs to recuperate.
Xiao Li felt a little guilty; was it a bit too much? She rummaged through the warehouse and took out a handful of wood-type spirit cores.
"Take it and absorb it."
Yao Mei revealed a surprised smile.
Xiao Li thought for a moment, then took out another top-grade spirit marrow and tossed it to Yao Mei.
Yao Mei immediately became happy, and her mouth started to wander again.
"Fairy, are you reluctant to part with me? Look, I'm still very powerful. Not only can I protect you, but I can also upgrade your spirit pet. Fairy, won't you consider me?"
Xiao Li became curious, "You're female, right? Why do you like girls instead of boys?"
Yao Mei rolled her eyes. "You don't understand. Women are purer than men. Both their bodies and souls smell better."
Xiao Li touched her chin. "There's such a thing?"
Yao Mei moved closer to Xiao Li and took a deep breath.
"You smell wonderful, and you're so beautiful. I'd love to be with you every day."
Xiao Li quickly moved away from her and pretended to cough.
"Your cultivation has not been easy, and you have not been tainted by karma. From now on, you should cultivate diligently and stop bothering ordinary people."
Yao Mei knew that Xiao Li was leaving, so she nodded in agreement.
"Fairy, I understand. I will definitely calm down and cultivate, and stop being playful."
Xiao Li flipped her hand and took out a tree branch, which Xiao Mutou had given her to give to Yao Mei.
"This is for you. Little Wood said you helped him with his cultivation, so this is my compensation."
Yao Mei happily accepted it, never expecting such an unexpected surprise.
This is a sacred tree; it has the effect of calming the mind and spirit, and one will benefit immensely from it during cultivation.
Yao Mei bowed deeply, sincerely thanking Xiao Li, and watched her leave.
She placed the sacred tree into its heart and returned to her original body to cultivate.
A mist rose in the peach grove. It was an ordinary mist, and most people couldn't get in. Even if they did, they would only get lost and return to the entrance.
The peach grove gradually calmed down.
?
Twenty years have passed, and Xiao Li has returned to the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts. She suddenly wants to see Zhang Mengmeng and wonder how she is doing.
In a small village not far from Sifang Town, a family of three lives in a low house. They have lived here for twenty years.
"I don't want to eat this. I'm so tired of eating this every day. I want to drink spirit fruit wine, and spirit purple rice, and fire rabbit meat..."
Zhang Mengmeng kept shouting, but Yuan Qi didn't answer. He just served the rice and sat down to eat.
She used to be willing to fulfill her mother's requests, but as the spirit stones dwindled, she could no longer afford those expensive spiritual foods.
Yuan Zhen also dragged his heavy steps to eat. He glanced at Zhang Mengmeng and couldn't reconcile her with the charming and lovely girl she used to be.
His eyes had long lost their light; he now resembled a frail old man.
