Chapter 35: Even she herself was afraid of this breakthrough speed.
"I……"
Lu Ziting hesitated for a moment.
After a long silence, he pulled down Su Ying'er's arm. "Ying'er, I think I should break off the engagement with Ye Li in person. After all these years, she has done a lot for the Lotus Sect."
Su Ying'er couldn't even manage a smile anymore. She said, feeling wronged, "But didn't we agree on something? Besides..."
She whispered, "Senior Brother, have you forgotten that Senior Sister also had an affair with Third Senior Brother behind your back?"
When Ye Li and Wen Yao's affair was brought up, Lu Ziting's face turned ugly.
Six months ago, he learned that Wen Yao was in love with Ye Li and that the two had already started an affair, which enraged him.
If Ying'er hadn't told him about this and given him a suggestion that would save face, he would probably have become a laughing stock in the Tianmen Sect by now.
This is also one of the reasons why he made up his mind to cancel his engagement with Ye Li.
Thinking of this, Lu Ziting's enthusiasm cooled down.
“I haven’t forgotten, but she is her and I am me. I can’t be like her and want more. I must break off the engagement with her face to face. That’s what a gentleman does.”
"Senior Brother..."
Su Ying'er wanted to say something, but Lu Ziting had already made up his mind and left the room for her to practice her sword alone.
Watching his retreating figure, Su Ying'er gripped the bedsheets tightly.
Why?
She's tried so hard, why hasn't Lu Ziting forgotten Ye Li yet! What's so great about Ye Li anyway!
-
Ye Li was completely unaware of Su Ying'er's hatred; she had been cultivating in the Chaos Realm for the past half month.
In just half a month, she broke through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
Ye Li herself was frightened by the speed at which she broke through.
Only then did she realize how valuable Xie Sixing's statement, "It's incredibly easy to cultivate again after leaving the physical body," truly was.
However, after she reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment, she made no further progress, just like before.
Thinking back to the last time when she was also stuck in the late stage of Qi Refining, Ye Li vaguely grasped some patterns.
It seems that each small breakthrough only requires cultivation, but a major breakthrough requires letting go of the past in order to comprehend the Dao.
The question is, how do we know when we've truly let go?
Ye Li decided to take a break.
When she opened her eyes, Xie Sixing was not there.
As soon as I stepped outside, I heard two children chatting.
The little girl's voice was filled with anger: "Ever since that woman came, my master hasn't fed me!"
The male voice sounded a few years older than her, and he chuckled, "What do you know? Master's busy chasing girls."
"What is picking up girls? Can you eat them?"
The little girl drooled as she spoke about food, "I really want to eat meat."
"Didn't your master stop feeding you monster meat last month?"
"The meat from Warcraft is awful, it tastes like chewing wood! I want roast chicken, roast goose, and roast duck!"
As she spoke, Ye Li heard the sound of saliva dripping.
She looked around but didn't see any children.
Just as she was wondering, a lazy voice sounded from behind her, "It's Huo Huo and A Jin."
Ye Li was already used to Xie Sixing's elusive nature. She looked around and asked, "Where are they?"
"Look, it's right in front of you."
Ye Li then noticed the half-person-high stone statue in front of her.
The one on the left is a cute firebird, and the one on the right looks like a snake, but with horns.
She had never seen a talking stone statue before, and her brows furrowed. "Is this also an evil spirit?"
Xie Sixing's lips curled into a smile, which then disappeared. He said seriously, "Hmm, it's really weird."
"Fire is not an evil spirit!"
Upon hearing Ye Li's insults, Huo Feng angrily retorted, "You are the evil spirit! Your entire Heavenly Gate Sect is full of evil spirits! I hate you!"
Ye Li said seriously, "My Tianmen Sect is full of cultivators. How could I be an evil spirit? You are the evil spirit."
The phoenix roared in fury, "You are an evil spirit!"
"You are the evil spirit."
"Who are you!"
"You are."
Xie Sixing found Ye Li's stubbornness somewhat amusing.
He usually seems like a very composed person, so why is he being so stubborn like a child right now?
Seeing that the two were about to go on and on, Xie Sixing made a truce gesture, "Alright, neither of you are evil spirits, so I've succeeded, right?"
Ye Li looked at Xie Sixing and frowned, "You were originally an evil spirit."
Xie Sixing was both amused and exasperated.
The fire phoenix got even angrier. "How dare you talk about my master like that? You are the evil spirits. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been imprisoned for a thousand years. I haven't eaten meat for a thousand years, sob sob."
As she was speaking, she suddenly burst into tears, and she wailed loudly.
Hearing her cries, Ye Li turned and entered the Golden Pagoda.
Suddenly, Huo Huo smelled the aroma of duck legs.
She twitched her nose, and the next second, she saw several duck legs in front of her, and Ye Li standing in front of her.
Huo Huo's eyes were practically glowing green, and she swallowed hard. "Even if I starve to death, I, Huo Huo, will never eat a single piece of your Tianmen Sect's flesh!"
Ye Li thought that if she didn't drool, she would still be quite ambitious.
She thought for a moment and said, "This belongs to my pet, Dahei, and doesn't belong to the Tianmen Sect."
Huo Huo swallowed even louder, "This duck leg isn't...slurp...it's not tasty at all, I'm not eating it..."
Suddenly, someone took the duck leg away. Ah Jin smiled slyly, "It's such a waste if you don't eat it. I'll eat it for you."
"Ah! My duck leg! I'm going to kill you!"
Huo Huo could no longer care about being reserved and stuffed one into her mouth.
The moment the duck leg went into her mouth, Huo Huo almost burst into tears.
It smells so damn good!
In the blink of an eye, Fire Phoenix and Golden Dragon devoured the duck leg, even licking its claws clean.
Jinlong smiled and said, "Mother, you're so good to me."
Ye Li was taken aback. "What did you call me?"
"If you feed me, then you are my mother."
Fire Phoenix looked at her with disdain, "You've really gone to shame for the sake of a stutter."
Ye Li was overwhelmed with joy at becoming a mother, and she was somewhat at a loss. In particular, her instinct to take care of her junior brother made her want to take care of him as soon as she heard the title.
"Uh, I have some snacks left, would you like some?"
Huo Huo said sweetly, "Yes, yes, yes! Mommy, I want one too!"
Ajin: "..."
And so, Ye Li shared Dahei's snacks, and even Xie Sixing got a pot of fruit wine.
Xie Sixing wasn't as pathetic as Huo Huo and A Jin, but judging from how quickly the wine disappeared, he wasn't much better.
Looking at the three evil spirits, one large and two small, Ye Li wondered why they were sealed in the Chaos Realm.
Is it because they are too greedy?

The next day
According to what Wen Yao said before, Bai Xiaosheng should have woken up today.
Ye Li will not miss the day to expose Su Ying'er's hypocritical mask.
As she left, Ah Jin said with a smile, "Mother, be careful, and come back soon."
Huo Huo rolled its eyes at it, thinking, "You scheming dragon."
Then she smiled even more sweetly, "Goodbye, Mommy, I'll miss you."
"goodbye."
Ye Li silently added in her mind, "evil spirits."
Jubaoyuan
When Ye Li entered, Lu Ziting and the others were all in the courtyard. They must have heard that Bai Xiaosheng had woken up today and came to see him.
Su Ying'er was among them.
However, seeing the panic that Su Ying'er couldn't hide even with a smile, it was clear that she hadn't come up with a good solution yet.
Just then, Wen Yao came out from inside. "I have already given the fourth brother the pill. He will wake up in about an incense stick's time."
