Bai Shengyi had never heard of the Cold Pond Blood Ganoderma before, but since Yun Youyue was so eager to get it, it must be something good.
She wanted to see if it could help Yue Shuxin's condition.
The moonlit cat didn't understand the appeal of spiritual plants to an alchemist like Bai Shengyi. It meowed a few more times, its eyes gradually shifting from disbelief to utter despair.
Did this woman really like cats?
"Meow! Meow meow!"
"What is Ergou saying?" asked the Samsara Brush to the Dream-Entwining Vine.
The Dream-Entwining Vine said with a complicated expression, "It also wants the Cold Pond Blood Ganoderma, but the master ignored it and is grumbling."
After speaking, the Dream-Entwining Vine echoed Ergou's confusion: "Boss, doesn't the master really like Ergou?"
No, it should be said that she's a hidden cat lover.
If the Samsara Brush had a human form, it would definitely roll its eyes at the Dream-Entwining Vine.
"Do you think she doesn't like it now?"
If anyone understood her, besides Qin Si, it was the Samsara Brush who understood Bai Shengyi the best.
"Isn't that so?" the Dream-Entwining Vine asked weakly. "She's not even paying attention to Ergou."
"Of course not! If she didn't like it, would she be so nice to that female cultivator named Yue Miaomiao?"
The Samsara Brush tutted, "However, Ergou and Yue Miaomiao are different. It's unwilling to contract with our master, hasn't recognized her as its owner, and isn't even a spirit pet. To be precise, Yue Miaomiao is family, and it's an outsider."
"Moreover, in the master's heart, cultivation and strength are the most important. Petting cats is just a bonus; she won't force it if there are no cats. Of course, if Ergou were to become the master's spirit pet in the future, your status as the number one subordinate would likely be in jeopardy."
As if to prove that the Samsara Brush was telling the truth, just as they finished their whispers, Bai Shengyi finally paid attention to the moonlit cat.
"You say you also want the Cold Pond Blood Ganoderma?" Bai Shengyi looked at the moonlit cat, which was gesturing in front of her, its eyes almost glued to the ganoderma, and smiled slightly.
Seeing this, the moonlit cat thought there was hope and nodded, "Meow!"
Bai Shengyi stroked its soft fur, her smile vanishing, "No, you can't have it."
"Meow!"
The moonlit cat's expression contorted.
Why!
"Meow meow meow!" Its paws kept scratching at Bai Shengyi's clothes, about to damage them. Bai Shengyi glanced at it with a faint look, and its paws froze. It stopped resentfully, "Meow!"
"Master, Ergou says it wants it."
Without the Dream-Entwining Vine translating, Bai Shengyi could guess what the little cat meant.
But she didn't have the habit of indulging "outsiders."
"But why should I share it with you? In the recent battle, I held back the Sky-Swallowing Beast, Little Vine managed to collect the spiritual plant, and Little Samsara played a huge role as my weapon. But you, you just stayed on my shoulder and did nothing."
What is it to say the most doting words with the most heartless tone?
Bai Shengyi was exactly that!
The moonlit cat was stunned!
It had always considered itself the cat master, and Bai Shengyi, the servant, liked it and wanted to contract with it, so she would definitely coax and favor it.
Never did it expect that Bai Shengyi would be such a "scammer"!
If the Samsara Brush knew the moonlit cat's thoughts, it would probably laugh to the heavens. The little cat was too young. Didn't it know that Bai Shengyi never suffered a loss?
Snowflakes drifted down, and the moonlit cat's heart felt as cold as the biting wind.
"Hiss! Why is it getting colder?" Bai Shengyi pulled the cat into her arms for warmth. The moonlit cat was unhappy.
Bai Shengyi patted the little moonlit cat, "Don't fuss!"
"Meow!" Who exactly is fussing!
However, the moonlit cat couldn't resist Bai Shengyi's "tyranny" and was once again treated as a hand warmer, devoid of all will to live.
It finally understood. It wasn't that it could use the servant and then discard her, but rather that Bai Shengyi, this woman, was heartless after petting her cat. When she needed its fur, it was a treasure; when she didn't, it was nothing!
It truly hated it!
Damn human!
"Achoo!"
Bai Shengyi sneezed again, a loud one.
"Yun Youyue must be cursing me," Bai Shengyi's gaze swept across the tall grassland that blocked her view, and she said perfunctorily, "Let her curse. I haven't lost anything anyway. I wonder which direction Miaomiao and Daoist Lan went. I forgot to let them know earlier."
As she spoke, her figure was hidden by the lush grass and trees, and soon disappeared into the vast grassland.
On the other side, Yun Youyue was about to explode with anger.
Perhaps because of her extreme rage, the Sky-Swallowing Beast forcefully progressed from its juvenile stage to adulthood in a short period, and with its great divine power, it swallowed the three of them into its belly!
Inside the Sky-Swallowing Beast's belly was a world of its own, with stars, moon, forests, and spirit beasts. Most importantly, it contained the principles of heavenly rules!
Even though Yun Youyue and Jing Lan were both Mahayana cultivators, they had little understanding of the heavenly rules. Without paying attention, they were pecked several times by the Nether Crows.
"We have to get out first," Jing Lan said, looking at the bird droppings from the Nether Crows on his body with immense disgust.
"Bai Shengyi had previously made a hole in its belly, but I couldn't find it," Yun Youyue said with a dark and displeased expression.
She felt extremely dejected and vexed, never expecting that she would have to rely on Bai Shengyi's previous efforts.
But the rules within this place restricted their abilities.
Jing Lan: "Then let's just use the Jinshi Beiyu Cup to break open its belly."
"But..." Chen Yi hesitated, "If we do that, the Jinshi Beiyu Cup will shatter." Wouldn't that put Junior Sister Rong's life in danger?
"At this point, are you still thinking about these things?" Jing Lan said meaningfully, "Daoist Chen Yi, one must be single-minded. Are you expecting Yun Youyue to die here with you?"
He scoffed inwardly. If Chen Yi truly cared about Rong Xuelan's life, why would he have let Yun Youyue use Rong Xuelan's natal magic treasure?
Yun Youyue also looked coldly at Chen Yi.
"Fine... fine," Chen Yi said, "But Youyue, please try to preserve the magic treasure as much as possible."
Yun Youyue did not answer him. She leaped onto the black maple forest and, facing the moon in the sky, sacrificed the Jinshi Beiyu Cup.
In an instant, the heavens lit up!
A miniature wine cup shadow was cast from the Jinshi Beiyu Cup, transforming into a stream of light that shot out with the power of a thunderbolt.
Just as it was about to break through the sky, which was like skin, it suddenly turned back and attacked Yun Youyue. Yun Youyue, unable to dodge, was hit hard!
"Pfft!"
She was sent flying backward. If Chen Yi hadn't acted quickly to save her, she would have been whipped again by the black maple forest.
Yun Youyue's face was ashen, a result of her injury and her anger.
"Rong Xuelan!"
She turned and angrily said to Chen Yi, "Didn't you guarantee that she couldn't control the Jinshi Beiyu Cup? Did you not give her the medicine I gave you?"
To ensure Rong Xuelan wouldn't cause trouble, Yun Youyue had given Chen Yi a poison that could temporarily paralyze one's spiritual power.
Chen Yi stammered, "I gave it to her."
But his eyes dared not meet Yun Youyue's. He was filled with guilt.
"Youyue, could you be mistaken? Junior Sister Rong wouldn't do this..."
Before he could finish speaking, the Zhen Tian Axe buzzed and struggled out of Yun Youyue's hand, attacking the three of them along with the Jinshi Beiyu Cup.
"Trash!"
The three of them quickly resisted, having to deal with these two magic treasures while also fending off the Sky-Swallowing Beast's attacks. Soon, their bodies were covered in wounds of various sizes.
Jing Lan looked at Chen Yi with a grim expression and cursed again, "Useless! You can't even handle such a small matter."
Chen Yi didn't dare to retort.
Yun Youyue was also infuriated by him. "Forget it, Young Master Jing. Let's quickly find a way to get out. At this point, let's not hold anything back, otherwise, we'll all be finished."
Jing Lan nodded with a dark expression.
The three of them were once again locked in a desperate struggle.
Outside, Rong Xuelan, commanding her magic treasures to bite back at the three, revealed a ferocious hatred of revenge on her face.
"You bullied me!"
"Bitch! Scumbag! Go to hell!"
