Okay! You have a point. But this posture looks a bit weird no matter how you look at it! Fortunately, the two returned to their palace safely. Ye Xiruo buried her head in the fluffy quilt. She didn't feel tired when she was doing the quest, probably because she was too excited or stimulated by the spirit stones. Now, sleepiness was overwhelming her.
Xiu Qiyu poured a cup of tea and came back to find that Ye Xiruo was already asleep. He smiled helplessly, took off her shoes, put her down, and covered her with a blanket.
Little Yezi is very different now than she was back then. Her small face is delicate and flawless, and her dark eyes are often squinted. He will definitely protect her and make sure she can always laugh so carefree.
While Xiao Yezi was sleeping, he went out to treat his wounds. Unexpectedly, he saw Zishu dressed in gray and looking somewhat tired as soon as he stepped out.
"Greetings, Senior Brother."
"You're back." Zishu sniffed, a serious look appearing on his baby face.
"You're injured." He said with certainty, taking Xiu Qiyu's hand and checking her pulse. Fortunately, the injury wasn't serious.
"Here, take this." He tossed over a bottle of healing pills.
"Thank you, Senior Brother. I'll head back to heal my injuries now."
Zishu waved his hand wearily: "Go ahead, I need to go back and get some rest too."
So, the three people who had been busy earning spirit stones all day fell asleep. At dinner time, Si Hao looked at the three empty seats with some surprise. It was one thing for Xiu Qiyu, but his senior brother and junior sister would come over for every meal. It seemed they were too tired today to even eat.
However, Si Hao still gave the order to have the kitchen prepare food and deliver it to their respective bedrooms, so that they could eat when they woke up.
Sure enough, Ye Xiruo woke up hungry in the middle of the night, desperately wondering whether she should get up and eat. Was she really going to go to her space to cook in the middle of the night?
To her surprise, after getting up, she found a meal laid out on the table, all of which were her favorite dishes. A magic circle was engraved on it, keeping the mussels fresh and hot. Ye Xiruo was incredibly touched; she wondered which little angel had so thoughtfully prepared such a meal.
The situation was similar with Zishu; he was so moved he almost offered himself in marriage. Xiu Qiyu, on the other hand, went into seclusion to heal her injuries, a pity for Si Hao's painstaking efforts.
The next day at the dinner table, Xiu Qiyu was absent.
"Has Brother Xiu Qi gone out to hunt monsters again?"
“Junior Brother Xiu hunted a demonic beast yesterday and gained some insights, so he went into seclusion to cultivate.”
"Oh, I see." Ye Xiruo felt a little down.
After the meal, Zishu and Ye Xiruo expressed their deep gratitude to Sihao, but the second senior brother was so frightened by the eldest senior brother's green eyes that he ran away.
"What's wrong with the second brother? Is he shy?" Zishu was completely confused.
"He probably went to the restroom!"
“That makes sense,” Zishu agreed wholeheartedly.
The two went outside and returned to Ye Xiruo's Ye Ruo Palace.
"These are spirit stones delivered by the Pill King Auction House yesterday." Zishu handed over a spatial ring directly.
Ye Xiruo extended her divine sense to take a look, and saw a dazzling expanse of spirit stones. She had never seen so many spirit stones in her life.
"A total of 12,000 high-grade spirit stones were auctioned."
"so much?"
Zishu nodded; his inventory was all cleared out.
"This is what Junior Brother Xiu asked me to give you yesterday." It was another ring, and upon closer inspection, it was another pile of glittering spirit stones.
He swallowed hard: "So many spirit stones too?"
"It's not much, only a little over nine thousand yuan!"
"That's already a lot, okay? I worked myself to the bone all day yesterday and only earned 1,500 high-grade spirit stones. It was such a blow."
"Don't forget, we're both at the Nascent Soul stage, not ordinary people. A thousand high-grade spirit stones a day is a lot, really."
Ye Xiruo was even more devastated.
"Keep these spirit stones!"
"Brother Xiu Qi has already told you everything," Ye Xiruo said, somewhat embarrassed.
"This kind of heaven-defying artifact is worth consuming no matter how much it takes."
"I accidentally discovered that there is a place in that secret realm where you can hone your martial arts skills. You will definitely be very satisfied."
"You guys are really lucky."
"I think so too." What a load of rubbish! With this vampire system around, she couldn't possibly spend all her spirit stones! The feeling of handing over spirit stones so easily is just too unpleasant.
"Your Highnesses, the Lord of the Palace invites you."
Not knowing what was going on, the two rested for a while and then set off.
The main hall of the Dan King's Palace is where distinguished guests are received. Could it be that some important guest has arrived today, and Master wants the two of them to come over?
Upon entering the palace, the two bowed to their master, who was seated on the throne.
"Disciple greets Master."
"This is Elder Lianchi of Saintess Peak."
"Greetings, Elder Lianchi." Dressed in plain clothes, with a white veil covering her face, she exuded a sacred aura. Lianqing and Lianchi must both be elders of Saintess Peak. I wonder what brings you here!
Saintess Peak sent her a ten-petaled sacred lotus, which is now soaking in her pond. She can't forget, and dares not forget, this kindness.
"With the emergence of the Heavenly Ranking, geniuses are vying for supremacy. The Holy Maiden has specially opened the Lotus Pond to aid her disciples in their cultivation. I have come here on the Holy Maiden's orders to invite the Young Palace Master, and I am sure he will gain a great deal."
"Thank you for your kindness, Holy Maiden, but I am about to form my core, so it is really not appropriate for me to set off rashly." Ye Xiruo hesitated.
There is no love without a reason, nor is there hatred without a reason. Could it be that she has some connection with Mount Saint? This is treating her way too well!
“Since that’s the case, I won’t force the young master. I’ll consult the Holy Maiden before making a decision.” Elder Lianchi’s voice was very pleasant and showed no dissatisfaction, which made Ye Xiruo even more suspicious.
"Elder Lianchi has come from afar, please rest for a while."
Elder Lianchi left with two female disciples dressed in plain clothes behind him.
"Master, are you aware of this matter?"
Jing Li was still dressed in a bright red gown, with a black robe over it, the hem and cuffs embroidered with intricate and delicate patterns in silver thread.
"I am unaware of this. Previously, my Pill King Palace and Saintess Peak did not have much of a relationship. The current Saintess of Saintess Peak is very mysterious. She has never left Saintess Peak in the past twenty years. Her strength is among the best in the entire continent."
"So impressive." A true powerhouse.
"Yes, that's why I'm also curious if there's any connection between you and her." Given the status of Saintess Peak, there's no need for them to send an elder to invite a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
