Xiu Qiyu held an exquisite wine glass in her hand, looking calmly at Ye Xiruo dancing in the crowd.
Taking advantage of tonight's celebration banquet, the many alchemists and martial artists of the Pill King Hall completely let loose, enjoying delicious spiritual wine and admiring the exquisite dance moves of their senior and junior sisters. Such a day was truly better than that of immortals.
After jumping around for a while, Ye Xiruo took advantage of Su Su's inattention and slipped away, returning to Xiu Qiyu's side. She sat down with a thud, her forehead covered in fine sweat. This was definitely not from being tired, but from being nervous.
Xiu Qiyu poured a cup of light peach blossom wine and handed it to her, then took out a small handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat from Ye Xiruo's forehead: "You're tired."
"No, I am a Golden Core cultivator." Ye Xiruo shook her head.
"Let's have a drink to calm our nerves!"
One cup wasn't enough. Ye Xiruo drank three cups of spirit wine before stopping, looking at Xiu Qiyu with a somewhat aggrieved expression: "I'm hungry."
"Wait here, I'll go get you some food."
Since she was too lazy to move, she nodded and watched Xiu Qiyu take a plate that was even bigger than his face and go to get food.
Spirit fruits were a must-have, as were delicious pastries, spiced chicken pieces, boiled fish fillets, sweet and sour pork ribs, cold shredded vegetables, and minced meat with pickled green beans. Finally, a delicious fish soup was also packed to go.
Sure enough, when Ye Xiruo saw so much food, a big smile immediately appeared on her face, and she started to tug at Xiu Qiyu's sleeve.
That's her being affectionate!
"Have some soup first, then eat."
"Okay." After drinking half a bowl of fish soup, Ye Xiruo began to eat her vegetables. Xiu Qiyu drank her spirit wine on the side, and the two of them together looked quite harmonious.
When Xiu Qiyu joined the Pill King Palace, many young girls were so excited they couldn't sleep all night; it was definitely a predestined fate. But it turned out that besides sparring with Zishu, Xiu Qiyu only cared about Ye Xiruo, unwilling to share any of his Mirror Li with anyone else.
At first, countless self-proclaimed beauties and alchemists were naturally unconvinced, but Xiu Qiyu wasn't blind; how could she not notice their charm? However, over the past six months, if Xiu Qiyu hadn't gone into seclusion to cultivate, and hadn't emerged from seclusion completely connected with Ye Xiruo, she truly wouldn't have left anyone else with a single chance.
No matter how deep their feelings were, it was all in vain when they encountered Xiu Qiyu, this freak.
After a long period of depression, many female cultivators, through meticulous observation, discovered that the person Xiu Qiyu liked was definitely the young master. The rumors that Xiu Qiyu joined the Pill King Palace for the young master were absolutely true.
Now everyone is gradually getting used to the warm and harmonious scene of the two of them together. Just like now, Ye Xiruo is eating the dishes that Xiu Qiyu brought over, occasionally sharing some with Xiu Qiyu. Pink bubbles are flying between the two of them.
Everyone was in a good mood tonight, so they didn't mind the two of them "showing affection" in public.
Unlike Ye Xiruo and Xiu Qiyu's romantic exchange of bites, Zishu, dressed in dazzling white, sat alone in his seat with five or six bottles of spirit wine and a table full of dishes in front of him. Zishu buried himself in his food, not sparing a glance at the men and women who were reveling.
After two months without a proper meal and a good rest, Zishu was finally able to enjoy a good meal and naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity.
Si Hao sat next to Zi Shu, but he had no interest in the delicious food and was instead slowly drinking.
The two figures, one in black and one in white, looked remarkably harmonious.
Si Hao knew that Zishu would soon be returning to Lingshan, and he felt a little reluctant to part with him: "Senior Brother, take care on your journey."
Si Hao finished his drink, and Zi Shu waved his hand, "It's nothing. I grew up in Lingshan, that's my home. It's just that I won't be able to eat such delicious food and drink such good Ling wine when I go back."
"You can order food and wine from Zuixianju. If Xiu Qiyu doesn't mind, you can also ask your junior sister for help to stock up on some delicacies and spirit wine for you."
Zishu's eyes lit up: "Second brother, what you said makes a lot of sense. I'll go get some spirit stones and exchange them with my junior sister. She loves spirit stones the most."
Si Hao, unaware of the truth, thought that his junior sister didn't seem to lack spirit stones at all! It wasn't until he discovered Ye Xiruo's pile of spirit stones that he realized his senior brother was right.
Fortunately, everyone was quite excited tonight. Besides Xiu Qiyu, who seemed to have a glowing aura, attracting a lot of attention, Zishu and Sihao were selectively ignored by everyone.
After Ye Xiruo had eaten and drunk her fill, she watched the beautiful women dance for a while, then started yawning repeatedly. Seeing this, Xiu Qiyu put away the remaining peach blossom wine and helped Ye Xiruo back to rest.
Zishu and Sihao exchanged a glance. Something was wrong. Zishu picked up a chicken leg and stood up, while Sihao put down his wine cup, hugged his sword tightly, and followed.
Those with a keen eye couldn't help but chuckle at this scene. Xiu Qiyu was truly pitiful; above him, Jing Li was eyeing him covetously, and below him were his two senior brothers, Zishu and Sihao. If Xiu Qiyu and the young master wanted to achieve their happy ending, the road ahead would indeed be long and arduous.
After handing Ye Xiruo over to Mingxi, Xiu Qiyu went back, which made Zishu and Sihao feel a little embarrassed, as if they had thought too badly of Xiu Qiyu.
Ye Xiruo slept for two days straight. Xiu Qiyu and Zishu came to check on her every day. When they saw that Ye Xiruo hadn't woken up, they went to the martial arts arena to spar.
Si Hao, a cultivation fanatic, rested for two days after the banquet and then immediately threw himself into cultivation, which made Zi Shu and Xiu Qi Yu look at him with some surprise.
After showing up that night, Jing Li disappeared without a trace. It's said the Palace Master is in seclusion refining pills; after all, he obtained so many medicinal herbs in the secret realm, and now he can finally refine them to his heart's content. Another theory is that the Palace Master has left the Pill King Palace, and his whereabouts are unknown. The last theory seems more plausible: Jing Li is transplanting medicinal herbs in her high-grade herb field. Many extinct medicinal herbs exist in the secret realm, and the Palace Master collected quite a few, bringing them back to try and see if they can be successfully cultivated. Also, the four tenth-grade sacred herbs in Jing Li's possession seem to need some proper handling.
These legends are all told with great detail and conviction. In fact, someone is indeed constantly trying to restore the original habitat of the medicinal herbs in the herb field. However, this person is not Jing Li, but the Throne.
Jing Li did indeed leave the Pill King Palace. He hadn't expected the mysterious demon clan to come looking for him on their own. It seemed that the person's condition was already quite bad.
