Chapter 431: Chapter 425: Sharp Tongue Against Sharp Tongue
“Go lie down, I’ll personally crush you!”
As soon as Qin Liuxi said this, it nearly scared Deng Dawu off the shaft of the cart.
This master is too ruthless!
Uncle Feng sneered coldly: “Haven’t seen you for a while, little ancestor’s lip service has improved again!”
“You, you have such a ruthless heart, indifferent to human life, aren’t you afraid of the Five Disadvantages and Three Deficiencies?” Uncle Feng was still pretending.
Qin Liuxi spread her hands: “Bring on the Heavenly Tribulation, strike me dead, the sooner I die, the sooner I reincarnate!”
Uncle Feng: “…”
Fine, you win, you even curse yourself when you get vicious.
Qin Liuxi smiled at him, mouthed something, then flicked her fingers, and the horse, as if struck, surprisedly dashed forward.
Deng Dawu was truly alarmed this time.
The horse went mad.
And Uncle Feng was also startled, almost stumbling, then suddenly cursed loudly: “Hey, go to hell, you’re trying to kill… Hey, wait up!”
As swift as an arrow, the horse dashed forward, Uncle Feng desperately chasing after it, Teng Zhao couldn’t help but open the door of the cart.
Then, he watched in shock as the little old man sprinted over, faster than any Ferghana horse he’d seen; when he was about a zhang away from the cart, the little old man transformed into a fiery red…
Fox?
Teng Zhao’s pupils shrank as he watched the fiery red fox pounce towards the cart, his expression changed, and he instinctively stood in front of Qin Liuxi.
“Demon!”
Qin Liuxi felt reassured, oh my dear disciple.
Uncle Feng had already jumped into the cart, the fox shouted angrily: “You heartless little thing, just hit me like that, really trying to crush me to death?”
“Oh, not pretending anymore?” Qin Liuxi patted Teng Zhao and looked amusedly at the beautiful fox.
Uncle Feng, under Teng Zhao’s wary eyes, transformed back into a charming young man and said, “How did you recognize me? My disguise was flawless.”
“Your frivolous air, I could smell it from miles away; try to contain that fragrance when transforming,” Qin Liuxi sniffed lightly.
Uncle Feng was furious: “That’s the scent of a man.”
Haha.
Uncle Feng then carefully looked her up and down and said, “You’ve come of age, turned into a big girl, but why hasn’t what should’ve grown, grown?”
Teng Zhao followed his gaze to Qin Liuxi’s flat chest and immediately frowned.
Audacious, shameless, where does this libertine come from!
Before he could stand in front of his master, he heard his master herself respond coldly, laughing: “Flat is flat, I accept it; how about you? Has your little chick turned into a big bird yet? Who are you to laugh at me!”
Teng Zhao: “!”
Uncle Feng: “…”
Blushing, he said, “Are you even a woman anymore? How can you say everything!”
Qin Liuxi glared back: “What are you embarrassed about with me, back when you underwent your Tribulation and were struck bare as a plucked chicken, what haven’t I seen? If it weren’t for my help, even your little chick might have been struck into a eunuch!”
Uncle Feng: You devil!
Don’t lower yourself to her level, otherwise, I’ll be the one to end up dead.
Teng Zhao closed his eyes and pretended to be deaf. Is this a topic suitable for children to hear?
Feng Xiu glanced at Teng Zhao and sized him up: “Who is this little ghost?”
“My eldest disciple, Teng Zhao, his Daoist name is Xuan Yi.” Qin Liuxi turned to her young disciple and introduced Feng Xiu: “This is Feng Xiu, the Nine-tailed Demon Fox, the Boss of Changsheng Hall. Please pay your respects, and if you need any medicine in the future, just mention your Uncle Feng’s name to keep it on account.”
Although he disdained Feng Xiu, Teng Zhao couldn’t disobey his master. He knelt and bowed inside the carriage: “I pay my respects to Uncle Feng.”
Only then did Qin Liuxi smile and say: “Well, now that you’ve paid your respects, consider my earlier words as a gift upon meeting you.”
“You’re just outright robbing me! The medicinal ingredients were painstakingly gathered by myself; and to refine the medicine, I had to plead with you.” Feng Xiu pointed at her: “You were the one who sought collaboration initially, I agreed, and now I have to urge you to proceed with the refinement. It’s preposterous.”
After reprimanding her, Feng Xiu glanced at Teng Zhao disapprovingly: “This little ghost looks so stiff and old-fashioned, what do you see in him?”
Teng Zhao frowned.
After examining his appearance thoroughly, Feng Xiu commented, “His features are fine, barely acceptable. Fine, from now on, your Uncle, no, I mean, I will look after you.”
I must not be of the same generation as him, for that would lower his status by a generation. Ha, he really is a clever spirit.
Qin Liuxi asked, “Has this injury of yours healed?”
She reached out her slightly calloused fingers to check Feng Xiu’s pulse.
Feng Xiu didn’t dodge; his narrow and usually irreverent eyes seemed soft, though he said, “Me, a formidable Big Demon, troubled by a minor injury? Impossible! And I even brought back that Snow Fruit for you.”
He took out a bottle from his waist and tossed it over.
Seeing that Feng Xiu’s pulse was normal, Qin Liuxi was relieved and insulted him jokingly: “Indeed, disasters linger for a thousand years, you just can’t be bad!”
Feng Xiu wanted to throttle her: “Would it kill you to say something nice?”
Qin Liuxi chuckled, taking the bottle containing the Snow Fruit and opened it; a wave of cold fragrance wafted from the bottle, invigorating and refreshing.
Teng Zhao also felt the cold fragrance piercing through his body, and couldn’t help but look over.
Qin Liuxi took out a fruit, which looked crystal clear like ice and round like a pearl, the cold fragrance filling the entire carriage.
“Now that we have the thousand-year-old Snow Fruit, we only lack the Jiao Pearl from over a hundred years ago. But the mortal realm’s Spiritual Energy diminishes year by year. Even if there are Jiao, can they cultivate Jiao Pearls?” Feng Xiu furrowed his brows.
Qin Liuxi replied: “The Da Feng Sea Chronicles have records; a hundred years ago, in the East Sea, a Jiao underwent a minor Heavenly Tribulation. A fisherman saved the Jiao and obtained its pearl. Coincidentally, I recently saved someone and asked for this Jiao Pearl as a payment to find it for me.”
Feng Xiu: “Even if Jiao Pearls are easy to obtain, what about the most elusive Spiritual Liquid of the Snow Elf? I’ve asked many spiritually aware demons in Beichuan, but none have seen a Snow Elf being born.”
Elves are neither demons, nor monsters, nor ghosts, nor devils; they are just spiritual beings born from nature’s spiritual energy and are rarely seen.
Given the scarcity of Spiritual Energy, is it possible for one to born in this mundane world?
Qin Liuxi laughed, “Even a thousand-year-old demon fox like you managed to achieve Transformation under Feng Zheng; what else is impossible? If not found, it’s just not yet the time.”
“What if it’s truly not found?” Feng Xiu countered.
Qin Liuxi’s smile faded, and she pursed her lips, saying, “If that’s indeed the case, then it’s fate.”
Feng Xiu sighed. Being too sentimental was also troublesome.
He changed from this heavy topic, “What are you going to do with the Ice Crystal you asked me to bring back?”
In Beichuan, there’s a type of Ice Crystal that when placed in regular ice, can keep it from melting and as hard as iron all year round.
Qin Liuxi said, “Hmm, there’s a Blood Curse that needs to be broken, quite troublesome. I’m thinking of making an ice coffin just in case.”
She briefly explained Si Lengyue’s situation.
After listening, Feng Xiu’s brows furrowed, and he said, “Such a significant spell breaking, if you truly manage it, it’s like twisting the fate of her entire clan. Be careful of getting struck by lightning!”
Completely breaking such a significant spell by meddling meant that the Five Disadvantages and Three Deficiencies wouldn’t even spare one the worst treatment.
