1045: Chapter 301 Upside-Down Turtle_2 1045: Chapter 301 Upside-Down Turtle_2 Ji Feixue tapped her finger, and the blue aura on the island immediately gathered in her hand, turning into a sphere of energy.
Such a release of energy would have driven half the beasts in Yunmeng Ze into a frenzy—a calm sort of frenzy.
“Again!” Ji Feixue looked at Su He.
Artifact Refining was an auxiliary skill for cultivators, but Alchemy was essential, crucial in moments where it could save lives.
Su He licked his lips and waved his hand, causing another bunch of herbs to rise.
This time, he tried the human form again.
Perhaps the technique of Alchemy was imperfectly controlled due to his turtle body?
One by one, the herbs fell into the Pill Furnace.
Having done it once, he started over, and immediately his technique improved.
In just over an hour, the Pill Furnace opened again, this time without the pervasive energy.
Ten lustrous and round Pill Medicines rolled at the bottom of the furnace.
Their fragrance was captivating.
The Pill Medicines were smooth and had a refined color.
Although they lacked the pill patterns, they were adequately standardized and could be considered of average quality.
Su He was thrilled, picked one up, sniffed it, and swallowed it.
After pausing to feel its effects and sensing nothing, he flicked another Pill Medicine towards Ji Feixue.
“Wife, try this, it should be right this time!”
Ji Feixue opened her eyes just as the Pill Medicine flew into her mouth.
Her expression changed instantly, and she spat out the Pill Medicine, looking coldly at Su He.
Then with a wave of her hand, a vine shot out from the cave, wrapping around Su He’s ankles and tying him to a tree outside, immediately suspending him upside down.
She turned around with an icy expression and went back inside the cave, slamming the door shut.
Su He was immediately bewildered.
Swinging like a pendulum in the air, he shouted, “Hey, hey!
Even if it wasn’t good, you didn’t have to punish me like this…”
As he spoke, his expression changed as he incredulously looked up at Little Su He.
Then his face reddened.
The Heart Cleansing Pill was supposed to induce a clear and desire-less state, right?
How could it have the opposite effect?
He indeed achieved clarity of heart but was far from lacking desires, no wonder Ji Feixue’s expression had changed.
Su He wailed apologies.
But no sound came from inside the cave.
After a while, Su He blurted out, “Um…
I mean, I didn’t do it on purpose, do you believe me?”
“I believe,” Ji Feixue’s cold voice came through, emotionless.
“Then why are you still hanging me?” Su He was astonished!
If she knew it wasn’t intentional, why bother?
“Hanging you up makes me feel better.”
Su He: “…”
The chilly autumn night breeze swept over Su He’s body, making the whole world feel cold.
The waning moon shone brightly, adding to the desolation.
Especially since the Toad and Fox down below showed no sympathy at all; they even started a bonfire and began roasting a snake.
“Sister Frog, with his Tao Cultivation, a slight struggle should bring him down, right?” the Fox asked quietly, looking at Su He melancholically swaying in the autumn wind.
The Toad shook her lounge chair profoundly, “That’s Ji Feixue’s binding; think he can come down easily?”
The little Fox was too naive, not understanding the heart of a man!
The Fox looked at Su He, who had already reached the end of his allotted human time and had unknowingly transformed into a Peacock, still hanging upside down—a Turtle can’t hang upside down, its claws are too thick and would snap the rope.
But the Peacock, with legs almost the same thickness as a human’s, fit just right!
The Peacock spread its wings, looking like it was on the verge of death, swinging back and forth on the tree.
“Wife, have you gone to sleep?” Su He called out to the cave.
Ji Feixue had entered the cave ages ago without making a sound; it was unknown what she was doing inside.
The defense of the cave was good, and Su He’s Divine Sense couldn’t probe inside.
“Wife, come out to watch the stars!
The moon is small tonight, the autumn air is crisp, and the stars are twinkling.” Su He flapped his wings, drifting leisurely, gazing at the starry sky.
Ji Feixue made no sound.
“How about I sing you a song!” Su He said, then cleared his throat and started bellowing, “Who hasn’t missed it, the drum sounds of the night watch…”
Inside the cave, Ji Feixue’s expression darkened.
This foolish turtle, definitely influenced by the Pill energy.
She looked at the Pill Medicines Su He had just refined, her expression changing repeatedly.
Was this turtle’s Pill technique lacking, making a mistake in the refining?
Or was he audaciously affected by the Pill energy, deliberately creating this?
These Pill Medicines cleanse the heart but increase desires.
If one were in retreat practicing Dual Cultivation techniques, these would be unrivaled quality Pill Medicines.
Is that guy really not doing it on purpose?
Hearing the ghostly wails outside, a flash of anger crossed Ji Feixue’s face, “Shut up!
If you wail again, I will cut you down!”
The wails abruptly stopped, and Su He blinked, stunned for a long while.
He whispered softly, “Wife, actually…
you can’t beat me anymore!”
Indeed, when they first reached Opening Heaven Three-fold, their Tao Cultivation was nearly equal.
They had all improved during the trip to Guiwang Mountain, but later, when Su He advanced to Xuanwu and developed a human form, Ji Feixue was no longer his match.
Ji Feixue’s voice came from inside the cave dwelling, “Really?”
Then appeared a Cold Fairy, sword in hand, clad in white clothes that outlined her perfect figure, yet as cold as frost and snow, with her Sword Qi running rampant.
Su He was momentarily mesmerized.
Ji Feixue had actually switched back to women’s clothing, elegant with a hint of clear frost.
Although her temperament was completely different, the Cold Fairy before him somehow blended with the flamboyant woman in red from future generations.
Perhaps it was the effect of the Pill Medicine, but Su He’s heart suddenly stirred.
Su He’s gaze fell on the Sword Qi exhaled by the Immortal Sword; they were really going to fight!
His neck shrank slightly, “My mother said, ‘A man who beats his wife is not a good man.'”
Ji Feixue looked at him coldly, her Sword Qi unchanged, “In this life, your mother was a Spiritless Grass Turtle, and in your past life, you were an orphan.”
Where did this mother come from?
Su He fell silent for a moment, have you forgotten about Yun Li?
He let the vines swing him back and forth, and suddenly, his eyes lit up, “Aren’t you glad you don’t have to deal with mother-in-law issues?”
Ji Feixue was startled, then her expression turned cold, and with a ring of the sword pointing at Su He, she said, “Get down!”
Su He blinked, “I won’t!”
Ji Feixue’s expression grew even colder, “Get down!”
“I won’t!
Whoever hung me up should let me down…”
The two, under the moonlight, began a standoff.
Meanwhile, the Toad and the Fox glanced at each other, whispering, “Sister Frog, have they both been affected by the pill energy?
Shall we just watch, and if they recover tomorrow, will they kill us to silence us?”
After thinking for a moment, the Toad quietly picked up her little lounge chair and stealthily, along with the Fox, slipped into Yunmeng Ze.
“Then we won’t watch!”
Looking at the stubborn Peacock opposite, Ji Feixue took a deep breath, suppressing her anger.
She wasn’t upset with Su He acting up, but with herself.
With Su He’s words, she suddenly realized she was indeed considering things from the perspective of his wife.
Relieved there was no mother-in-law, she exhaled inexplicably…
This wasn’t right!
She had no relation with him!
Ji Feixue slashed the rope tied around Su He’s feet with her sword and turned back to the cave dwelling,
“From now on, don’t call me your wife!”
Su He fluttered his wings and jumped up, following close behind her, “Alright, my lady!”
Ji Feixue suddenly turned back and stared at him deadly.
Su He met her gaze, then slightly bowed his head, “If not wife, what should I call you?
Ever since we met, I’ve been calling you wife…”
Ji Feixue’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.
Su He’s voice was very soft, “I can only stay here for ten years.
After ten years, I’ll steal the Fingerbones and have to return to my era.
The you there, still waiting for me to save…
Once I’ve visited an era, I can never come back…”
His voice was very soft, very gentle.
Ji Feixue’s heart inexplicably trembled.
The sword in her hand lightly trembled.
Stunned for a moment, her gaze somewhat drifted; she stopped speaking, then once again sat down cross-legged on the cushion, her eyes slowly closing.
In front of her was still a Pill Furnace, the furnace fire burning vigorously, judging by the ingredients beside it, it was also a furnace of Heart Cleansing Pill.
Su He transformed into his Xuanwu Shape, following by her side, quietly laying down, his Snake Body coiled on the Turtle Shell, the Turtle Body quietly contracted, watching Ji Feixue perform Alchemy, watching her open the furnace.
A furnace of Heart Cleansing Pill, the pill energy tantalizing.
Ji Feixue picked up one pill, placing it into her mouth.
She also flicks another Pill Medicine into Su He’s mouth.
The Pill Medicine was burning hot, but as it transformed into Pill Liquid, it felt refreshingly cool, starting from the base of the tongue into the heart and lungs, instantly moisturizing the whole body, even clearing the mind.
But Su He still didn’t move, only quietly lying on the ground, silently watching Ji Feixue.
After swallowing the Pill Medicine, Ji Feixue slowly closed her eyes, seemingly entering a state of cultivation.
After a long while, she suddenly spoke, “This daughter you spoke of, what’s the deal with her?”
“Ya Ya?” Su He laughed, “Ya Ya is a little troublemaker…”
