Chapter 75 075: The Ancestor of Qiu Yu
Ye Fei rubbed her nose and replied helplessly, "Maybe someone is cursing me."
Li Yuan: "..."
Xie Qingui and Ye Minghui went hunting nearby, while Ye Tong huddled alone to one side, not daring to utter a sound.
Ye Fei and Li Yuan sat side by side, the firewood casting a bright reddish-orange hue on their cloaks.
Not long after, Xie Qingui and Ye Minghui returned, each carrying a plump rabbit.
After skinning the animals, cleaning the internal organs, and setting up a fire, Xie Qin Gui prepared a dinner in an orderly manner.
The rabbit meat turned an enticing golden color under the heat of the flames, and the aroma of meat filled the air, making Ye Fei's mouth water.
"Here are some fruits I picked; they taste sweet and sour. Please have a bite to eat."
Xie Qin Gui took out several bright red fruits from his pocket and handed them to Ye Fei and Li Yuan.
Ye Fei took one and handed it to Li Yuan: "Want some?"
Li Yuan reached out and took it, but only held it in his hand, seemingly with no intention of eating it.
After a while, Li Yuan stood up: "I'm going to take a walk around the neighborhood."
"Okay, don't go too far," Ye Fei said while munching on some fruit.
...
Li Yuan walked to a deserted open space, raised his slender hand and took off his hood, revealing his handsome face.
The boy looked up at the moon in the night sky.
Only half of the moon was illuminated, while the other half disappeared into the darkness.
"First quarter moon..."
Li Yuan murmured softly, his brows furrowing slightly, "It's starting again."
"Your Excellency." Bai's figure appeared suddenly behind Li Yuan like the wind. He first clasped his hands in a salute, and then took out a porcelain bottle from his storage belt. "Your Excellency, please take the pill."
Li Yuan raised his hand and took the porcelain bottle, pouring out an ice-blue pill from inside.
He swallowed the pill expressionlessly, and the moment it entered his mouth, a wisp of blue light rose around him.
The blue light carried a chill, causing Jiang Bai to involuntarily take a step back.
As the blue light faded, Li Yuan slowly adjusted his breathing, then casually tossed the porcelain bottle to the ground: "The medicine is gone."
Jiang Bai pursed his lips: "...Your Excellency, the ancestor Qiu Yu still refuses to show himself."
Li Yuan coldly glanced at Jiang Bai, who immediately knelt down on one knee: "Ancestor Qiu Yu is unwilling to refine pills for Your Excellency. I think we should find another alchemist?"
Li Yuan coldly said, "Jiang Bai, do you think there's any other alchemist in the world besides Ancestor Qiu Yu who can refine the Nine-Turn Ice Jade Pill?"
"Your Majesty, I... do not know."
"Go and tell Ancestor Qiuyu that if he still refuses to come out of seclusion to refine pills for me, I will go and tear down the medicine garden where he is hiding in Fufeng Spring."
Bai Tingyan gasped sharply.
The medicinal herb garden of Fufeng Spring...
That was the most treasured medicinal herb sanctuary of the Autumn Feather Ancestor! It even contained several peerless medicinal herbs that had long since disappeared from the Four Realms. To just tear it down like that seems a tiny bit unfair!
"Hmm?" Not hearing a reply from his attendant, the boy's deep yet chilling voice trailed off slightly.
Bai was so frightened that his hair stood on end: "Your subordinate obeys! Your subordinate will go immediately!"
The attendant's presence had completely vanished. Li Yuan raised his other hand, holding the bright red fruit in his palm.
"The moon is almost full." Li Yuan closed his eyes, tightened his grip slightly, and with a snap, the fruit in his palm was squeezed so hard that juice splattered everywhere, turning it into a pulpy mess.
The boy let go, letting the fruit puree slip through his fingers.
"Hopefully, on the next full moon night, I won't completely lose my mind, and then—"
"I'll kill you."
