"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding did I have? What misunderstanding did I have? Xiu Qiyu, explain yourself clearly." Zishu's expression gradually turned cold, and his aura continued to rise.
"Xiao Yezi and I fell in love at first sight, we're a match made in heaven!" Xiu Qiyu blurted out without thinking. This time, it was Zishu's turn to be dumbfounded.
"Are you serious about your junior sister?"
Xiu Qiyu nodded.
"You're not after his status as a divine master?"
Xiu Qiyu shook his head.
"You want to spend your life with your junior sister?"
Xiu Qiyu nodded again.
"You didn't just seek a fleeting moment of novelty and toy with your junior sister's feelings."
"I'm innocent," Xiu Qiyu said with a bitter face.
"What do you mean I'm wronged? Junior Sister is only thirteen years old, she hasn't even turned fourteen yet! You beastly bastard, how dare you lay a hand on Junior Sister? Don't even think about it."
Xiu Qiyu was truly speechless with bitterness: "I know that Xiao Yezi is still young and of noble status. I just want to protect her and wait for her to grow up and become truly powerful."
"So you joined the Pill King's Hall for your junior sister?"
"Yes, we've been through thick and thin together, so naturally we have feelings for each other. I believe we can naturally come together."
"Hmph, you make it sound so nice. So many women are eyeing you, Junior Sister must have had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to have met you!" Zishu said with a look of utter disappointment.
"Perhaps this is fate."
"Shut up! What right do you have to say such things?" Zishu roared in anger, then stormed off.
Xiu Qiyu also looked helpless. She had frightened Xiao Yezi this morning and would definitely be more careful in the future.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was quite subtle. Ye Xiruo ate quietly. Zishu looked depressed, and Yingxun placed a few dishes on Zishu's plate.
Thanks.
Xiu Qiyu sat in the seat furthest from Ye Xiruo, eating her meal with elegant movements.
"I'm full, please enjoy your meal." Ye Xiruo put down her chopsticks and left.
Xiu Qiyu put down her bowl immediately afterward: "I'm full too, you guys continue."
"What happened? Why are you in such a bad mood?"
"Isn't it all because of Junior Sister? Xiu Qiyu is a wolf in sheep's clothing, worse than a beast, actually trying to harm Junior Sister."
"Looking at it from another angle, it might not be a bad thing. After all, Xiu Shi Di and Junior Sister Ye have a contract between them, so they are the people they trust the most. This also shows that they are indeed destined to be together, which is the best thing. This contract means that they can only be together, or live a lonely life."
"That scumbag Xiu Qiyu must have discovered Junior Sister's bloodline and talent a long time ago, which is why he got such a great deal."
"Alright, alright, don't be angry anymore, eat some food." Yingxun picked out a few of Zishu's favorite dishes and quietly patted his head.
"You don't need to worry at all. Xiu Qiyu would never do anything to harm Junior Sister Ye. In fact, he would be even more careful to protect Junior Sister Ye for his own life."
"I'm just sad for my junior sister."
"Nothing will happen. Looking across the entire continent, besides Xiu Qiyu, who else is worthy of Junior Sister Ye?"
"Little Leaf, wait for me!" Xiu Qiyu called out as she saw Ye Xiruo's light green group about to disappear around the corner.
Unexpectedly, Ye Xiruo ran even faster. He gave a wry smile and continued to chase.
Ye Xiruo just kept running away, but now she is in a mess and doesn't know how to face Brother Xiu Qi.
"Little Ye Zi." When Xiu Qiyu stood in front of Ye Xiruo again, Ye Xiruo closed her eyes, steeled her resolve, and forced a smile: "Brother Xiu Qi, is there something you need that's causing you to rush out like this?"
"Can't I come out to look for you if there's nothing wrong?" Xiu Qiyu directly blocked Ye Xiruo's retreat.
Ye Xiruo smiled awkwardly: "Of course not, I'm quite busy with cultivation, so I'll probably be fine in a while."
"Is Little Leaf deliberately avoiding me?"
"No, no." Ye Xiruo quickly waved her hand, feeling that Brother Xiu Qi seemed like a completely different person today, cunning and shrewd.
"I want to take you back to Luoxia Ancient Town to see your master, and then we'll go to your home."
"Really?" Ye Xiruo's lips were a little dry.
“Master saved me, and I grew up. Ruofei, I will never leave Luoxia Ancient City for your sake.”
"It's my fault for dragging Brother Xiu Qi into this."
"Why do you say that? It's my fault for dragging you down with me."
"We've helped each other out, so we're even. Once I break through to the Nascent Soul stage, I'll also go to Sunset Valley and get an elder's title."
"That would be excellent."
"I'm sure Master won't have any objections."
"I saw Hua Rong and Senior Brother Zhi Yi before I came to Medicine King Valley. They were both well. They must be traveling now."
"I'm relieved that the second brother is alright. Maybe we'll even see him when we get back."
Ye Xiruo and Xiu Qiyu found a secluded spot in Medicine King Valley and sat down. Ye Xiruo released the panda, held it in her arms, and stroked it.
"This is your new spirit pet."
"Yes, isn't it cute?"
Xiu Qiyu's lips twitched slightly, but she still nodded: "Yes, very cute."
“There’s another one that likes to suck blood, and that’s this one.” Ye Xiruo pulled the red jade hairpin from her hair and threw it on the ground. It quickly transformed into a small section of bloodthirsty demon vine, about the thickness of a thumb. Seemingly sensing Xiu Qiyu’s aura, the bloodthirsty demon vine actually transformed into such a weakling. Even its barbs retracted, and its innocent, soft, and cute appearance almost made Ye Xiruo wonder if it had a split personality.
"Not bad, just a bit weak."
Ye Xiruo, hugging the panda, laughed so hard she could barely breathe, pointing at the pathetic state of the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine: "Trash." Hmph, she's a very vengeful person.
The Bloodthirsty Demon Vine stiffened for a moment, but ultimately chose to continue playing dead. This sword-repairing paper only needs a year to allow it to reincarnate.
Xiu Qiyu cut her fingertip, forcing out a drop of bright red blood, and the bloodthirsty demonic vine pounced on her.
"Brother Xiu Qi, what are you doing?" Ye Xiruo snatched Xiu Qiyu's hand; the wound had already healed, leaving only a faint mark.
“Your skill is too weak. I’m afraid you’ll be devoured by it. It has consumed my essence and blood, so it will have to accept my restraints, which will also increase its strength and help you.”
It's all for her own sake! Ye Xiruo felt a pang of sadness. Apart from her parents and grandparents in her previous life, it was Brother Xiuqi who treated her the best.
The Bloodthirsty Demon Vine was covered in a thick layer of blood, which occasionally shimmered, as if it was about to go into slumber and advance to the next level.
"Your essence is too precious. Don't do this again."
"You can just cultivate it back to normal. It's your spirit pet anyway, so it won't benefit anyone else."
