Although Ye Xiruo believed that there was nothing between Xiu Qiyu and Yi Ruowu, the scene was just too jarring to look at. Xiu Qiyu, too, had inadvertently become obsessed, completely obsessed.
"Let's see. If he still wants to carry this burden, we might as well tell him what the rules of the Pill King Palace are." Seeing Xiu Qiyu's pitiful points, Ye Xiruo was furious. How confident was this person in himself? He wasn't worried at all.
This Heavenly Ranking Competition has attracted quite a few Nascent Soul cultivators. Xiu Qiyu's cultivation level is not top-notch, and I haven't seen his combat strength, so it's hard to make an evaluation.
"Junior Sister, calm down. Elder Xiu should know his limits."
They'd already started grilling the meat, using the seasoning Ye Xiruo had prepared. Ye Xiruo's face immediately darkened. From now on, any good seasoning she made would be given to her senior brother. Didn't he see that her senior brother was fighting desperately against the alien race? Xiu Qiyu only knew how to flirt with beautiful women.
Yi Ruowu was also somewhat surprised that Xiu Qiyu hadn't abandoned her immediately. Instead, he went to catch prey to cook. Although Xiu Qiyu's expression remained cold, Yi Ruowu was secretly quite happy. Was Xiu Qiyu worried about her safety and wanted to protect her a little longer?
He never expected that someone as ethereal as Xiu Qiyu would know how to grill meat, and his movements seemed quite skilled.
Xiu Qiyu flipped the rabbit in her hand, brushed it with a layer of honey, and continued to bake it until the outside turned golden and translucent, with an enticing luster.
Xiao Yezi had prepared everything thoroughly; even before the rabbit was fully roasted, it emitted an enticing aroma. Xiu Qiyu took out a plate, and with a slight flick of her fingertips, the rabbit meat in her hand quickly turned into thin slices. She sprinkled on some special spices, and the aroma was irresistible.
Please enjoy your meal.
"Thanks."
Yi Ruowu couldn't stop eating after just one bite. She hadn't expected Xiu Qiyu's roasting skills to be so high. Plus, the rabbit itself was quite spiritual, and with the delicious dipping sauce, she simply couldn't stop.
Xiu Qiyu quickly roasted the remaining two rabbits and began to eat them with elegant movements, surprisingly at a fast pace.
The two finished dinner in perfect unison. Yi Ruowu looked up and asked, "Are you leaving?"
"You should hurry up and heal your wounds. I'll leave first thing tomorrow morning."
In the battle for the Heavenly Ranking, even Xiu Qiyu cannot freely travel with people whose cultivation level is significantly lower than his own. Otherwise, as Si Hao said, he would have no chance of leaving his name on the Heavenly Ranking.
"I am deeply grateful to my senior brother for saving my life."
"You're too kind, fairy."
Yi Ruowu knew that Xiu Qiyu's mind was made up. They had safely weathered this great calamity, and now they could only rely on themselves. Xiu Qiyu had her own mission to complete, and she also needed to seek her own opportunities to narrow the gap with the other prodigies as quickly as possible.
"Junior sister, have some tea and calm down."
"I am very calm," Ye Xiruo said, enunciating each word clearly.
Hua Rong shook her neck, very calm, indeed very calm. Didn't she see the crack in the chair?
The people here all know about the relationship between Ye Xiruo and Xiu Qiyu, so it's no wonder that Xiao Yezi is so angry; she's practically going crazy with anger.
Fortunately, Xiu Qiyu wasn't blinded by beauty and knew when to stop.
The next morning, after seeing Yi Ruowu wake up, he said a brief goodbye and left.
"I really hope they never run into each other again," Hua Rong muttered softly.
Ye Xiruo had already turned her attention to other battlefields. The Heavenly Ranking competition was indeed brutal; it was only the fifth day, and many people had already died. Some perished while fighting for rare and precious treasures. There was nothing that could be done about it; cultivators were fighting against fate, and those who perished halfway through were simply not lucky enough.
Some, however, died betrayed by their companions or loved ones. Indeed, everyone would be envious of the opportunity to improve their strength. Couples turning against each other and fellow disciples killing each other were commonplace. A single competition fully demonstrated the nature of humanity.
Ye Xiruo felt a pang of regret. There were a couple of scoundrels in the Pill King's Palace who got into a fight over a ninth-grade Ganoderma lucidum. They took it, but others profited from it, cutting it down one by one. Naturally, the Ganoderma lucidum ended up in someone else's hands.
Even if these two idiots don't die, the Pill King Palace will never give them any special attention. No matter how powerful they are, these kinds of useless teammates are just troublemakers.
Overall, the casualties at the Pill King Palace were manageable; they weren't the most devastating, nor were they the luckiest. A major reason for this was the large quantity and decent quality of the pills they carried. With a bit of luck, they could have taken the pills in time and survived.
After the madmen of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect entered, they challenged everyone. They openly challenged human experts, and attacked demons without hesitation, proficient in sneak attacks. When encountering other races, they were flexible and adaptable; if they could win, they would fight to the death, even at the cost of serious injury, to kill these disgusting creatures. If they couldn't win, they would simply assume a fighting stance, prepare their ultimate moves, and then escape at lightning speed on their flying swords.
More than twenty demons and aliens have died at the hands of Ye Liusha. He appears small and thin, clutching his longsword, expressionless, like a child who hasn't grown up. But when he fights, it's truly astonishing. His reckless, life-risking fighting style seems to have become instinctive, and the sword in his hand seems to come alive. Compared to six months ago, Ye Liusha seems even more terrifying.
Of course, aside from Yi Ruowu, who was badly tricked, the strength of the four prodigies underwent tremendous changes. Ye Liusha and Wu Wuqingzui actually met. Originally, it was thought that there would be a life-or-death battle between the two, a battle that would darken the sky and obscure the sun and moon, but the two of them seemed to be blind, not even glancing at each other, brushing past each other, not even testing each other, and directly separating.
The onlookers were horrified. Ye Liusha hated demons and alien races the most in his life. There was no reason for him to leave without saying a word or doing anything when he saw the Demon Prince.
"They both want to save the opportunity to fight for last; now is not the time."
"What Xiao Yezi said makes sense. These two are evenly matched. Even if they fight to the death, neither of them will make it onto the Heavenly Ranking."
“That’s true. Ye Liusha isn’t stupid either. The opponent they both most want to fight is Senior Brother.” Qing Zhiyi spoke up.
Xiu Qiyu has been dominating them for so many years. The two fought Xiu Qiyu many times, but all of them ended in defeat. It was only thanks to their firm Dao hearts that they went mad long ago.
The onlookers, having missed the main spectacle, turned their attention to their own sect's prodigies. In the clash of these prodigies, top-tier forces hoped their own prodigies would make it onto the Heavenly Ranking, while ordinary forces only hoped their own prodigies wouldn't be completely wiped out.
