Chapter 25 Like Jade
"Hong Xiangwan, don't think you can humiliate me just because your cultivation level is higher than mine. I..."
"What's wrong with you?" Hong Xiangwan suddenly flashed in front of Huang Pinjie, grabbed Huang Pinjie's hands, and said in a gloomy voice, "I heard that you not only started raising colorful chickens, but also did a lot of business with Luohuang Ridge and Qingluan Peak."
"You can do business with those scumbags, but you can't do business with me?"
Disgusted, Huang Pinjie lost her breath and, in her haste, manifested her celestial form, struggling to break free.
"Crack!" Huang Pinjie gasped as she heard another crack appear on her Dao Pill.
“Hong Xiangwan, you’d better be sensible. I only need you to provide for five years. Before I came here, I went to Yuxu Peak and made a deal with Shan Zhongfeng, the Fire-Wielding Child of Kundan Room. After I die, I will give him the Dao Pill to refine pills.”
If you push me too far, I'll call him here right now to get it, and while he's at it, I'll have him chop you up!
Hong Xiangwan didn't know who Shan Zhongfeng was, but she had been spying on Huang Pinjie for years and knew that her expression showed that she was not lying.
What she cared about even more was that she hadn't used any magic to suppress Huang Pinjie, so why would Huang Pinjie need to use the Celestial Dharma Form to break free of the shackles?
Moreover, Huang Pinjie was breathing very strangely, as if she was about to die.
Hong Xiangwan has complicated feelings for Huang Pinjie.
Hong Xiangwan knew that Huang Pinjie had treated her like a pitiful child, which was why she would stroke her head with her warm hands in the dead of night to calm herself down, but she did not accept her feelings.
Hong Xiangwan absolutely could not allow Huang Pinjie to die like this. When she learned that Huang Pinjie was coming, she thought about many, many things.
She worked tirelessly night after night, racking her brains for a thousand or eight hundred methods, but not a single one had come to fruition. And Huang Pinjie was going to die? No, absolutely not!
Thinking of this, Hong Xiangwan reached out to hug Huang Pinjie. Huang Pinjie saw Hong Xiangwan rushing towards her and shouted, "If you dare to come near me again, I will immediately self-destruct. You wait for Shan Zhongfeng to come and kill you!"
Wu Buyu hurriedly carried Gu Qingqing, standing horizontally in the middle.
Upon hearing this, Hong Xiangwan dared not move again.
Huang Pinjie lay on the ground, panting heavily for a long time. When she felt a little better, she looked up weakly and asked, "Will you give it to me or not?"
Hong Xiangwan remained silent.
Huang Pinjie then called Wu Buyu, who carried her away.
Hong Xiangwan was already torn between her thoughts and her inner demons. Seeing Huang Pinjie about to leave, she quickly called out to stop her, "Wait a minute."
"Are you going to die?"
Without turning her head, Huang Pinjie threw out a sentence: "As you see it, as you wish."
Obsessive love is still love. The one being loved is terrified and unable to accept it; the obsessive one is filled with anxiety and fear of loss.
Hong Xiangwan's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly said, "Wait, you're taking the things with you. Five years, right? Take them, take them."
The servants at Yu Rong Ju were taking inventory, while Hong Xiang Wan, holding a whip, watched Huang Pin Jie from afar.
She remembered her original plan to give Huang Pinjie a beating, but looking at Huang Pinjie's current state, she estimated that she wouldn't be able to hit her for long before Huang Pinjie gave up.
But if she doesn't smoke, the pent-up frustration she's held onto for so many years won't dissipate, and she's very unhappy.
Huang Pinjie lowered her head, pretending not to see Hong Xiangwan's wavering eyes. Although Hong Xiangwan was disgusting, she felt that Hong Xiangwan was just like her, without fortune or luck, and without light on the path.
Before Hong Xiangwan saw herself, she was a notoriously ruthless cultivator in the fox clan.
Because of her talent, Hong Xiangwan was forced to cultivate the Shadow Path from a young age, just like herself, and was trained to be a tool of the Fire Fox Clan. However, Hong Xiangwan was unwilling to accept this, so she secretly switched to the Ruthless Path and killed all her relatives except for her younger brother.
Hong Xiangwan thus successfully trained to the Five-Tails, which was a promising prospect.
As a result, she interacted with him a few times during the clan festival and then became abnormal; Hong Xiangwan kept chasing after him every day, saying that she had fallen in love with him and that over the years, he was the only one who truly treated her as a normal fox.
Huang Pinjie explained to Hong Xiangwan many times that it wasn't love, it was just that she lacked love;
But Hong Xiangwan wouldn't listen and often followed Huang Pinjie, doing all sorts of self-righteous and touching things, which made Huang Pinjie's already little pity disappear.
Then Hong Xiangwan switched from the ruthless path to the unorthodox path of worldly affairs.
But how could a cultivation technique be modified and revised repeatedly like this? From then on, Hong Xiangwan began to behave strangely, lost all sense of shame, and gradually became impoverished and destitute, unable to make any progress in her cultivation.
Huang Pinjie thought that Hong Xiangwan had overcome her hurdle by breaking through to the sixth tail, but she never expected that Hong Xiangwan would go down a dark path and become even more ill.
As for myself, I tasted all the bitterness of the world, cultivated to the level of a five-tailed fox, and became the head maid of the Third Miss.
I thought my life would at least be peaceful and stable, but fate played a trick on me, and I almost gave away all my inheritance before I was born.
Therefore, they are all unlucky.
After feeling sorry for herself and Hong Xiangwan for a moment, Huang Pinjie was immediately overwhelmed by disgust again. She looked at Hong Xiangwan and said fiercely, "Hurry up."
Seeing Huang Pinjie full of energy again in less than half a day, Hong Xiangwan's hands started itching again.
Hong Xiangwan ultimately did not make a move, but she did not want to let Huang Pinjie go, so she locked the yard and asked Huang Pinjie how she could get a tail.
She had a gut feeling that if she could obtain a part of Huang Pinjie, she would have the hope of eliminating her obsession and achieving the King Realm.
Huang Pinjie naturally disagreed. The thought of being hung on by such a pervert made her stomach churn.
The two sides couldn't reach an agreement, so they remained deadlocked and ended up staying in the courtyard.
Huang Pinjie was glad that she had the habit of taking her belongings with her. In front of Hong Xiangwan, she boldly let Ji Er's family out; immediately, the entire elegant courtyard became a bird's nest.
Hong Xiangwan couldn't stand living with the same flock of birds for too long, so she quickly moved to the neighbor's house that very day.
——————
The food and lodging at Yu Rong Yuan were excellent. Apart from Huang Pinjie, who felt nauseous every time she saw Hong Xiangwan, Ji Er's family felt like they had fallen into a life of luxury and didn't want to leave.
Especially Qing Shi and Ji Zhuang, these two knew very little and were very naive; they only felt that Hong Xiangwan was kind and generous, and called her "sister" and "aunt" every day.
Ji Er was very upset and secretly pecked off a lot of the bluestone.
Ji Rong felt that Hong Xiangwan was being a bit too attentive, but Huang Pinjie was too close to her, so she didn't think about the complicated relationship.
Wu Buyu knew that he had witnessed their words and actions firsthand; but death was easy, but living was not, and he wanted to live, so he kept his mouth shut.
Gu Qingqing also kept silent, as she had only just learned about Huang Pinjie's situation.
Back then, she knew that Huang Pinjie had been seriously injured while saving her, but she didn't know that he had been seriously injured.
So, Gu Qingqing silently ate spiritual food and drank from the spiritual spring every day.
Since we can't beat them, we might as well take good care of ourselves first. If we have to run away, at least we'll have the strength to run a few more steps.
Each cultivator, with their own thoughts, ate and drank to their hearts' content. After more than ten days, Ji Er and his group all visibly gained weight.
Hong Xiangwan's whip was becoming increasingly eager to strike.
Day after day, she looked at this group of gluttons who had been reincarnated from starving ghosts, her gaze growing increasingly hostile.
But given Gu Qingqing's status, and her current physical condition, if she can't catch her breath, she'll probably die.
When you're far away and can't see something, you can pretend you don't see it, but now that you're on your own turf, you have no choice but to treat them well.
Otherwise, if Gu Qingqing couldn't eat well and couldn't hold on, and died here, the foxes in the clan who disliked her, Hong Xiangwan, would probably rush to show off in front of Gu Chan before coming over to kill her.
One day, Hong Xiangwan stood at a distance and called out to Huang Pinjie, saying helplessly, "Shall we talk?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Pinjie stopped and said, "Okay, let's talk."
"What do you want from me to give me a tail?"
Hong Xiangwan spoke earnestly, as if making a negotiation: "Let me be frank with you. I have a feeling that if you give me a tail, I will have the hope of becoming a king. You can name your conditions, and I will give you anything I have."
Huang Pinjie rolled her glassy eyes and sneered, "Give you a tail? Do you think I'm kind and stupid? How old am I? If I gave you a tail, would I stop living?"
Hong Xiangwan stared at Huang Pinjie and said, "But you won't live much longer, will you? I've sent you so many Heavenly Immortal Mushrooms and elixirs, but you haven't gotten any better even after consuming so many."
"Then how do you think that just because you got my tail, you can reach the threshold of the Seven-Tailed Fox?" Huang Pinjie said with disgust, feeling that Hong Xiangwan was overconfident.
