"Junior Sister, you've solved one of the biggest regrets in my life. I really don't know how to thank you enough."
"Senior Brother, please don't be so polite with me. This kind of fish tastes the same after a while. I'm getting tired of eating fish porridge every day. I really want to try something different, like braised fish, sweet and sour fish, or pickled fish. It's a pity that I'm back so soon, and I haven't had a chance to try them all yet." Actually, there will be opportunities for these in the future. As long as there are enough spirit stones, I believe the system will take good care of the Iceberg Frost Fish.
However, these words completely extinguished any gratitude Zishu felt, and his face turned as black as could be: "Junior Sister, stay away from me, or I'm afraid I won't be able to resist strangling you."
Ye Xiruo pretended to be very scared and hid behind Xiu Qiyu: "Senior Brother, let me tell you, you are repaying kindness with enmity, you will definitely be punished." She had a fierce look on her face.
When she turned to Xiu Qiyu, she immediately put on a gentle and tender expression: "Brother Xiu Qi, how are you feeling? Is it delicious? Is there anything that's bothering you?"
Xiu Qiyu shook his head honestly: "Thank you for your trouble, Xiao Yezi. This cold fish is indeed as delicious as the rumors say. Eating it regularly will be very beneficial to cultivation."
"That's good. How about we go to the snow mountain every year from now on, stay for more than two months, and eat snow mountain cold fish every day?"
Xiu Qiyu nodded gently.
Zishu was almost blinded by the lovey-dovey couple opposite him. His chubby face puffed up angrily: "You two keep showing off your love. I'm going back to cultivate. Humph."
"Senior Brother, don't go! I still have something to say!"
"Let him go." Xiu Qiyu said directly. This third wheel finally couldn't stand it anymore and left on his own.
Zishu flicked his sleeves and said, "Xiu Qiyu, you better explain yourself. Whether I leave or not is none of your business. Do you want to fight?"
"Come on, do you know that disturbing someone's love will get you struck by lightning?" Xiu Qiyu was also furious, and drew her long sword from her waist in a flash, her anger reaching its peak.
Zishu, not to be outdone, drew his sword directly: "Come on, I'm not afraid of you. I have a lot of grievances against you, and I'll tell you."
Ye Xiruo had a black line on her face. Looking at the two of them with their familiar lines and actions, she suddenly had the urge to cover her face. It was so embarrassing. They always had to stage this kind of tearing battle. Why didn't they change the lines and style and come up with a romance drama like "You love me, but I don't love you but I love her, and she doesn't love you but loves him"?
"That's enough for you two."
"I'm talking to you! Put your sword down! You don't respect your junior sister! I'm going to teach you a lesson!" Zishu said angrily.
Xiu Qiyu glared fiercely at Zishu, giving him a look that said, "You're dead next time," or "Don't leave after school," before putting the sword back in its sheath.
Zishu smiled smugly, skillfully putting his sword back in its place, and looked at Ye Xiruo with concern: "Junior Sister, what do you want to say? Should we leave this outsider alone?"
Ye Xiruo coughed slightly: "Senior Brother, Brother Xiu Qi isn't an outsider, he should be considered an insider!"
Zishu looked Xiu Qiyu up and down, and then let out a meaningful sigh: "Yes, my wife, then listen to her."
"Then I'll start talking. Don't get excited after you hear it, and don't try to kill me. Anyway, I did it, and it's all done." Ye Xiruo had a sense of "what's the use of trying" attitude.
Zishu nodded, indicating that he was fully prepared, while Xiu Qiyu listened in from the side.
After Ye Xiruo finished confessing what she had done in the past few days, the expressions of the two people changed dramatically.
Zishu pretended to be calm, took out the fan he often waved, and fanned himself hard a few times to calm himself down.
"You did the right thing, well done."
Xiu Qiyu nodded, indicating his agreement with Zishu's opinion.
Ye Xiruo snorted coldly and glared at Zishu and Xiu Qiyu: "Look at your two distorted faces, how dare you try to fool me here."
"Then I'll be blunt. You shouldn't have taken the blame for that. It would have been best if the master had taken it, or at least not me or the second brother. Why did you stupidly take it on yourself? With your fighting ability, you'd definitely get beaten to death if you went out there."
"It's inevitable that some people will slip through the net when someone is exterminated. If they do escape, they might be used by someone with ulterior motives, which would be very disadvantageous for you."
Since there were no major problems, she was relieved. At least she hadn't brought shame to the Pill King Palace. Ye Xiruo breathed a sigh of relief: "I've thought about this issue too. I've already ordered Elder Xing to act swiftly and decisively."
"I'll make a trip there after I leave."
"what?"
"I'll kill for you and cover your retreat."
Well, how can you say that with such confidence: "I'll be at the Pill King's Palace recently, so there shouldn't be any danger."
"I'll take care of everything, you don't need to worry."
Zishu hadn't expected such a thing to happen while they were in seclusion. After thinking for a moment, he added, "Junior Sister, you can supplement this order when you return. The Pill King Hall will refuse to provide any pills to any force that participates in the murder of a disciple of the Pill King Hall. Those who conceal or harbor the murderers will be treated the same way." Zishu's cute chubby face looked very serious at this moment.
The words, though devoid of any bloodthirstiness, sent chills down one's spine. Cultivation, defying the heavens, is inseparable from elixirs, techniques, and magical artifacts. If the Pill King Palace refuses to supply elixirs, any force that supplies them will be acting against the Pill King Palace. Which force would risk offending the Pill King Palace for this? Losing the supply of elixirs would inevitably impact the entire family's cultivation, ultimately leading to their annexation by other powerful forces.
This is absolutely true murder without bloodshed.
Ye Xiruo quickly understood this as well, and was somewhat worried: "Won't doing this cause dissatisfaction among some forces, who might unite to suppress my Danwang Palace?"
"It was very likely before, but not now."
"Why?"
"Because of you."
"Why?" Ye Xiruo still didn't understand.
"Once your status and value as a Divine Master grow, you will surely stand at the pinnacle of the continent. Those who are destined to stand at the top will need your help, which is why they won't offend the Pill King Palace or you over such a trivial matter."
"However, you must remember that although they will not join forces to deal with the Pill King Palace, they can turn a blind eye and neither help us nor them."
Xiu Qiyu looked at Ye Xiruo with some concern: "Your situation will become even more dangerous in the future."
"We'll meet force with force, and we'll deal with water with earth. There's nothing to be afraid of. There are plenty of people who want my life. Let's see if they have the ability." Ye Xiruo's words were filled with murderous intent.
"From the moment your identity was exposed, you were destined to be plagued by trouble. However, with your talent, Junior Sister, you should be able to fully mature soon and slap people in the face."
