Chapter 744: Are you looking for death?
Qiu Yu, the progenitor, frowned upon hearing this.
Huai Ci was stunned by his ancestor's reaction: His ancestor had always been averse to women, so why was he suddenly showing such an expression towards... towards a little girl?!
Moreover, this little girl is the great demon's fiancée!
Ancestor Qiuyu re-examined the girl. Although the girl did look very similar to Jiang Xun from back then, upon closer inspection, she seemed more like a shrunken version of Jiang Xun.
Could it be...
The Autumn Feather Ancestor then asked, "Little girl, I want to ask you, who is Jiang Xun to you?"
A flicker of emotion crossed Ye Fei's eyes as she pressed for an answer: "You know my mother?"
Ancestor Qiu Yu breathed a sigh of relief; this girl and Jiang Xun were indeed mother and daughter!
Li Yuan raised an eyebrow. Did Qiu Yu's ancestor know Fei'er's biological mother?
“I did meet your mother once,” Qiu Yu Ancestor said, his gaze softening as he looked at Ye Fei. “More than ten years ago, your mother saved my life.”
"At that time, your mother was already an outstanding level ten alchemist, and she could even use the long-lost alchemy technique of spiritual energy condensation, which made me feel inferior to her..."
Ye Fei had previously learned about the ancestor Qiu Yu from Li Yuan—he was a top-tier alchemist with an elusive whereabouts, known as the Ancestor of All Pills. It was said that there was no pill he could not refine, and he was a legend pursued by countless alchemists throughout the world.
But even such a legendary figure silently admired her mother...
Qiu Yu, the progenitor, straightened his sleeves and looked directly at Li Yuan: "Li Yuan, this time I will no longer avoid you because I have a new target."
"I want to refine the Nine-Turn Ice Jade Pill for you as soon as possible to repay your kindness, and then I will go to Jiang Xun to learn how to condense spiritual energy from her."
Ye Fei was somewhat surprised that Qiu Yu, the ancestor who could refine any kind of elixir, had to lower himself to ask his mother for advice.
It seems that her mother was indeed a very charming woman.
Moreover, judging from the fact that she saved both Li Yuan and Qiu Yu, the progenitors, she has a kind heart.
Thinking of this, a hint of melancholy appeared in Ye Fei's eyes.
Although her mother was a demon, she never harmed anyone, yet she still ended up being hunted down by the Holy Church...
"Alright, let's put Jiang Xun aside for now. Li Yuan, come here, let me examine the Flame Poison in your body."
Ancestor Qiu Yu leisurely sat back down in his guest seat, waved to Li Yuan, and gestured for him to come over.
Ye Fei released Li Yuan's hand: "Go quickly."
Li Yuan nodded, walked to the main seat and sat down, placing his hand on the armrest.
Qiu Yu, the progenitor, slightly concentrated his energy, and a wisp of rich wood-elemental spiritual energy condensed into a thread along his fingers, which gently wrapped around Li Yuan's wrist.
Ye Fei watched silently from the side, able to detect the Flame Poison in Li Yuan's body with just her spiritual energy.
Is this... the power of a top-tier alchemist?
After examining him for a while, Qiu Yu, the progenitor, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "The inflammatory poison in your body is flaring up more rapidly than ever before! What have you been doing?!"
Li Yuan remained silent, but Jiang Bai couldn't help but say, "This can't be blamed on Your Majesty; it's all because of those damned thorns!"
"Thorns?" Qiu Yu, the progenitor, was somewhat surprised, his gaze sweeping over Li Yuan: "Thorns' current strength is enough to contend with yours?"
Jiang Bai pouted, "That's not true! Thorn deliberately sneaked into the Demon Realm on the night of the full moon, forcing Your Majesty to use all your spiritual energy to deal with him, which led to the further flare-up of the Flame Poison..."
Ancestor Qiu Yu narrowed his eyes and angrily rebuked, "Reckless! When the Flame Poison flares up, you must never use your full spiritual energy! Li Yuan, are you tired of living and looking for death?"
