A month passed in a flash, and Shao Heng immediately went to find the market manager. The manager looked at the storage bag full of spirit stones and saw the young man's majestic aura, and couldn't help but admire his talent: "Are you going to hunt beasts outside the city?"
Shao Heng was stunned for a moment and replied, "That's right. But besides me, there are also my friends."
The manager remembered the last Jindan stage cultivator and lost interest in recruiting him. He gave him the pill and said, "The recovery pill is ready. Keep it."
Shao Heng took it excitedly, opened it and smelled it. It was indeed a fifth-grade recovery pill, and a top-grade one at that. He thanked the steward repeatedly, and then couldn't wait to run back to the courtyard.
Xihe was sitting in the yard. When he heard the door open, he turned around and said, "Young Master..."
A figure ran up to her and took out a white porcelain bottle: "Miss, I bought the recovery pill!" The bottle cap was opened, and a round pill rolled out, and the fragrance of medicine filled the air.
The young man looked at her expectantly: "Miss, will it be helpful if you eat it quickly?"
Xihe nodded and took it: "Okay." After taking the pill, her face instantly became rosy and her appearance became more beautiful.
Shao Heng finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "The fifth-grade pill is indeed effective. Miss, you will be completely well soon and can practice."
Xihe nodded and looked at him with a smile: "Shaoheng, thank you."
Shao Heng shook his head: "I am willing to do anything for you, young lady."
In the evening, the three of them had a good meal to celebrate. Since Xihe had not fully recovered yet, the three of them stayed in the Wanyao Sect Market. Shaoheng and Cheng Fan went out of the city to hunt monsters, so she stayed in the yard and rarely went out.
During this period, Shao Heng was indeed worthy of being the future Demon Lord. His strength improved very quickly and he established his foundation in just half a year.
Cheng Fan cried out, "Heaven is unfair!" Why does a pervert like Shao Heng exist?
Although life was hard, overall it was a leisurely and enjoyable time.
Until this day, when the two came back, Xihe sensitively noticed that Shaoheng was in a bad mood. He had a dark face and looked very unhappy.
She raised an eyebrow and looked at Cheng Fan, who scratched his head. "There was a girl who claimed to be the daughter of the head of the Wanyao Sect and tried to steal the monster from us. We didn't want to cause any trouble so we gave it to her, but she refused to give in and followed us all the way."
Xihe didn't care when he heard that. He just shook his head and smiled, "With a background like this, it's normal for her to be spoiled. Just don't mind it."
Cheng Fan glanced at Shao Heng, then sneaked up to her and whispered, "I'm telling you, that girl definitely has ulterior motives. She's definitely into Shao Heng, so you better be careful!"
Xihe pushed him away and scolded him with a smile: "Shao Heng is not a spirit stone, how could it be that everyone is thinking about him? Besides, don't I know Shao Heng's character?"
Cheng Fan suddenly felt bored. These two people trusted each other too much. It was boring.
Xihe really didn't care about this matter. Although Shaoheng was the Demon Lord, she still understood his character after being together for so long. He was not the kind of person who was indecisive. At most, he was more interested in his career than in love!
But the next time or twice, every time Cheng Fan came back, she could hear news about that girl Ling'er.
She stole their monster beasts again, blocked their way, and insisted on going with them. No one who disagreed could enter the mountain, and her address changed from "lowly casual cultivator" to "brat."
Xihe suddenly had a feeling that she and Shaoheng would soon become enemies, perhaps all thanks to Ling'er.
She felt a little disappointed, but not afraid. Instead, she felt excited. After such a long period of preparation, the topic was finally getting to the point. She also wanted to see Shaoheng's attitude.
The opportunity soon came. Shaoheng and his friend took a break that day and took her to the market for a stroll.
There were a lot of people in the market. They entered a shop selling women's clothes. It was said that the shop was sold by the Weapon Refining Sect. The clothes in the shop were all high-grade and exquisitely designed. Fairies with some money came here to spend money.
Cheng Fan disliked the large number of women inside and was unwilling to go in, so he went away to relax.
Shao Heng escorted Xi He in and immediately fell in love with their store's treasure: a flower skirt embroidered with silver patterns and hundreds of butterflies.
Hanging in the middle of the shop, priced at one hundred high-grade spirit stones, it was particularly dazzling! When the shopkeeper heard he wanted it, he was so happy that he went forward and took it down himself: "Daoyou, please look, this silver-embroidered hundred-butterfly flower skirt is the only one in the shop. It is Master Linglong's masterpiece."
"As the saying goes, a precious dress is bestowed upon a beautiful woman. This dress, embroidered with silver patterns and hundreds of butterflies, is the perfect match for the beautiful woman beside you."
Shao Heng smiled when he heard this and looked at Xi He: "Try it?"
Xihe thought it was a bit expensive and was about to refuse——
"I want this dress!"
A clear female voice came from upstairs.
Everyone turned around and saw a pretty woman with a frosty face coming down. She snatched the silver-embroidered butterfly-shaped dress and threw it to the maid behind her. She stared at Shao Heng coldly and said, "I'll buy this dress!"
Everyone in the store looked at each other in bewilderment. It was the first time they had seen someone steal something so blatantly.
The shopkeeper was also in a dilemma, as this person was the ancestor of the Wanyao Sect...
Shao Heng's face turned cold: "Bai Ling'er, what are you doing?"
Bai Ling'er was so angry that her face turned red when she heard him calling her by her full name, speaking softly to the ordinary woman beside him who had no spiritual energy at all, and even buying her such expensive robes. "What do you think what I do has to do with you? I said, I want this robe!"
"Master Linglong's robes are not suitable for just anybody. Shopkeeper, what are you still standing there for?"
He glanced at Xihe with disdain, as if she was just that nobody.
Xihe raised an eyebrow. The little girl had such a hot temper.
Shao Heng's face darkened: "Bai Ling'er, do you really think I dare not do anything to you?"
Bai Ling'er immediately exploded, stiffening her neck: "What? You still want to hit me? Just for this lowly mortal woman? Are you blind? A mortal woman is worthy of you..."
A palm wind carrying a strong pressure swept towards her, and everyone in the store screamed in surprise.
The elder who was secretly protecting Bai Ling'er was extremely shocked. He immediately revealed his true form and stretched out his hand to stop him.
Everyone expected to see blood splattered on the spot, but when the palm wind died down, they saw the girl standing beside the young man, she raised her hand to hold his hand, and shook her head gently: "No."
Shao Heng pursed his lips and finally let go of his hand. His spiritual power was released freely without hurting anyone by mistake.
Xihe smiled and said to Bai Ling'er, "Since the lady likes it, the skirt is yours. Shaoheng and I will go ahead." He nodded to everyone, took Shaoheng's hand and left.
"etc!"
Bai Ling'er grabbed the skirt, tore it into rags, and threw it on the ground.
He looked at her coldly: "It's just a piece of rag, I can have as much as I want! There is nothing in this world that I can't get!"
Xihe smiled and stepped out of the shop without saying a word.
They came with high hopes but left disappointed. When they returned to the yard, Shaoheng still had a gloomy face, and Xihe had to coax him for a long time before he calmed down.
However, she looked out the window and knew that things would not end so easily.
