106: My junior sister was kidnapped by just some delicious food

Screams echoed from within Ye Gou's body, as the child-gu suffered excruciating pain from the attacks of the other two gu worms.

“You said it would be a 1v1 gu worm battle, but you called for backup. Are you even a gu worm?

You’re an absolute disgrace to all gu worms, ptui! I’m ashamed to be associated with you.”

If the child-gu residing in Ye Gou's body could speak, these were likely the thoughts running through its mind.

However, Xu Xi would certainly not be able to comprehend these internal monologues.

As he continuously channeled spiritual energy, Xu Xi watched with a relieved expression as the other gu worm steadily retreated.

At least for now, even though this gu worm had resided in Ye Gou's body for a long time and undergone an evolution, the combined efforts of the two gu worms were enough to handle it.

Finally, with a grand sweep of his hand, and bolstered by Xu Xi's abundant spiritual energy, the two gu worms devoured the other gu worm, allowing Xu Xi's two gu worms to grow significantly.

As for why the life of that gu worm wasn't spared, it was simply because that gu worm was already beyond Xu Xi's control… and Xu Xi had sensed the rebellious nature of those two gu worms at that very moment, as if they wanted to break free from his control.

“Hey, no way, are all you gu worms born with rebellious bones?”

Strengthening his control over the imprints, Xu Xi wasn't at all afraid of the two gu worms escaping his grasp.

After all, he had nurtured them with his spiritual energy for so long, and although the auras of the two gu worms were steadily rising, they had never truly departed from the Spirit Refinement Realm.

“Cough, cough~”

“The matter is settled. You all should check Ye Gou’s body again for any abnormalities. There shouldn’t be any major issues now.”

Having completed everything, Xu Xi covered his mouth with his hand and couldn't help but cough twice, amidst the surprised looks of the others.

Afterward, Xu Xi quickly reminded the four Purple Cloud Sect disciples to examine Ye Gou's body. If Ye Gou were to die on the spot due to this minor incident, Xu Xi, who had struggled so hard for so long, would truly vomit blood.

“Oh, oh, we understand.”

Under Xu Xi's threatening gaze, and bowing to his intimidating power, the four Purple Cloud Sect disciples dared not delay in the slightest, each bringing out their best techniques.

Being proficient in alchemy, examining a patient's body was naturally an easy task for them.

With extremely skilled techniques, they performed a full body check on Ye Gou. Aside from still being in a coma, Ye Gou's body showed no damage whatsoever.

Furthermore, due to the gu worm's departure and Xie Qingzhou's long-term spiritual energy nourishment, Ye Gou's cultivation realm had actually advanced slightly, which could be considered a blessing in disguise.

“It’s finally over.”

“Since I’ve found the Purple Cloud Sect disciples, and your junior brother’s body is perfectly fine, it’s time for us to go our separate ways.”

“Regarding the Right Prime Minister of the Zhao Dynasty, please keep an eye out for any news. I’ll settle today’s score, sooner or later.”

“In the Juefeng Secret Realm, I won’t spare a single one of those lackeys of the Right Prime Minister of your Zhao Dynasty!”

A strong killing intent permeated his words. The various encounters of today, with their ups and downs, were as thrilling as a roller coaster ride.

Although Xu Xi had brought them to an end through various means, the displeasure in Xu Xi's heart remained, especially towards the Right Prime Minister of the Zhao Dynasty, who had never shown his face but sent people to cause trouble for others. This person had already been added to Xu Xi's blacklist.

At one point, Xu Xi even felt an urge to immediately rush to Ying Province, find the Zhao Dynasty's lair, and completely wipe them out.

Of course, first, Xu Xi currently lacked the strength, so he could only fantasize, but Xu Xi was confident that after the Juefeng Secret Realm, he could directly enter the Entering Profundity!

If you ask why Xu Xi is so confident?

Don't ask, just assume he has a cheat.

“Hmm, then may we meet again. My Hunyuan Sect also has some foundation in the Zhao Dynasty, and I have a spot in this Juefeng Secret Realm.”

“Perhaps… we might meet again within the Secret Realm. If fate allows, we could even form an alliance then.”

Preparing to bid farewell with a cupped-hand salute, Xie Qingzhou no longer had any intention of pressing the matter after hearing Xu Xi's words.

His journey was originally for his junior brother, Ye Gou, and since the matter was resolved perfectly, Xie Qingzhou had no other demands.

As for the Juefeng Secret Realm, Xie Qingzhou naturally intended to enter and explore, seeking his own opportunities.

With a benevolent gaze towards Ye Gou, Xie Qingzhou's lips curved into a smile of relief and contentment. After bidding farewell to Xu Xi, he was about to leave with Roufu.

Of course, as they left, a faint reluctance appeared in Roufu's eyes; that 70 points of favorability was truly not for nothing.

For a moment, even Xie Qingzhou noticed something was amiss.

“What’s going on?”

“Junior Sister’s gaze towards Brother Yi…”

“Something’s not right!”

“It seems Junior Sister hasn’t even spoken much with Brother Yi, has she? Just a few delicious meals captured Junior Sister’s heart?”

Looking at Roufu, who appeared reluctant to leave, Xie Qingzhou's mind was filled with confusion.

Recalling the various interactions between his group of three and Xu Xi, Xie Qingzhou didn't believe that Xu Xi had any opportunity to have intimate contact with his junior sister during that time, leading his junior sister to develop feelings for Xu Xi.

It could only have been those delicious meals along the way.

“Just that, it’s a bit too ridiculous, isn’t it?”

Unable to resist a complaint, Xie Qingzhou truly hadn't expected his junior sister to fall for it.

But reality is often this absurd and fantastical. Who knew that Roufu, being secluded and reserved since childhood, not fond of speaking, had her only solace in those delicious foods? Xu Xi had truly catered to her preferences.

After all, if you know someone's weakness and still can't win them over, that would be too much of a failure.

“Oh, right, Brother Xie, please wait a moment!”

Just as he was about to leave, Xie Qingzhou, holding the reluctant Roufu's hand and having already taken a large step, immediately paused upon hearing Xu Xi's words and couldn't help but turn back.

Looking at Xu Xi, Xie Qingzhou was about to open his mouth to ask what Xu Xi wanted, but unexpectedly, the next scene made Xie Qingzhou's jaw drop, almost rendering him speechless, unable to articulate the shock in his heart.

Including Roufu, who stood beside him, she was equally astonished.

Because they saw, before their eyes, Xu Xi's appearance transform from Yi Zhusheng back to his original form.

“This…”

“Brother Yi, what’s going on?”

Snapping back to his senses, Xie Qingzhou looked at Xu Xi's current appearance and asked the question in his heart.

Because during their time together, and even during a battle, Xie Qingzhou had no idea that Xu Xi's appearance as Yi Zhusheng was a disguise; it was so lifelike, without a single flaw.

“Of course, it’s a method to conceal information. I had some grievances with Yi Zhusheng of Thunderclap Pavilion before, which is why I pretended to be him.”

“I had anticipated a somewhat unpleasant experience in Ziyuan City, and now it seems my choice was not wrong at all.”
