5: Chapter 5 Yao Banmeng, an outer disciple of the Qingyun Sect

"Fellow Daoist, wait!"

Following this charming voice, a scarlet ribbon sped from the distance, blocking the path of the fireball Luo Yunkai had thrown.

The fireball emitted a "sizzling" sound against the ribbon. Three breaths later, the fireball extinguished, leaving only a faint ring of char on the ribbon.

A woman wearing a red dress, with a curvaceous and hot figure, landed. She raised her fair white wrist and retracted the ribbon.

As her beautiful eyes swept over, she paused slightly upon seeing the faint marks on it.

Immediately, she reined in her Aura and nodded slightly at Luo Yunkai, her voice melodious and captivating, like a soul-stealing enchantress.

"Many thanks to Fellow Daoist for showing mercy."

Luo Yunkai's mood was terrible.

Showing mercy? He hadn't shown any damned mercy! He had clearly used his full strength!

Although his internal injuries hadn't healed, as long as the opponent wasn't at the same Qi Refining Great Perfection as him, they wouldn't have an easy time if they suddenly took his fireball technique.

But as it happened, in this tiny, insignificant Mortal Dynasty, a Qi Refining Great Perfection cultivator had actually popped up!

And looking at that flashy but impractical ribbon Magical Artifact, she clearly had some background; she was either from a Family or a Sect Disciple.

What damned luck!

While cursing in his heart, Luo Yunkai showed nothing on his Face, maintaining the appearance of a dignified Immortal.

"Since Fellow Daoist has spoken, I naturally must give Fellow Daoist some Face."

Yao Banmeng heard this and did not have the slightest suspicion, as she didn't know that Luo Yunkai's strength had greatly decreased due to his injuries.

She smiled slightly, her Face becoming even more charming, "Fellow Daoist is too polite. I am Yao Banmeng of the Qingyun Sect. May I ask how to address Fellow Daoist?"

Qingyun Sect? Luo Yunkai became even more solemn.

The marketplace where he was located was under the jurisdiction of the Qingyun Sect, which showed how powerful the Qingyun Sect was.

It was rumored that the Qingyun Sect Master was a Golden Core powerhouse.

He announced his name in a deep voice, "Loose Cultivator Luo Yunkai."

Xiao Zimu's eyes lit up.

Although he didn't understand the Cultivation World, between a Loose Cultivator and someone with backing, the one with backing was definitely more powerful!

"Immortal, Immortal, save me..." He reached out towards Yao Banmeng, crying for help.

Looking at his demeanor, it seemed they knew each other.

Luo Yunkai held one hand behind his back, where a Talisman appeared, while his other hand stroked his beard. His voice was calm, revealing no joy or anger.

"I have given Fellow Daoist Face, and I also hope Fellow Daoist can give me some Face."

"I am determined to kill him. I hope Fellow Daoist will facilitate this!"

Xiao Zimu trembled all over and crawled with difficulty behind Yao Banmeng, grabbing her skirt. The blood on his hands was hidden beneath the red dress.

"Immortal, Immortal, you cannot let him kill me. It was all for you, Immortal. It was because of you, Immortal, that I encountered this disaster and offended this person. You cannot let him kill me!"

Yao Banmeng frowned slightly, her voice turning cold, "Didn't you say the Medicinal Pill was your father's? How did it get involved with this Fellow Daoist?"

She did not want to provoke Luo Yunkai, who was also at the Qi Refining Great Perfection.

Upon hearing the words of Yao Banmeng, the survivors of the Chengen Marquiss Residence all looked over.

"It was you!" Marquis Chengen's eyes were splitting with rage.

Xiao Yueqing also widened her eyes, "Zimu, was it you who took the Medicinal Pill?"

Xiao Zimu thought his backing had arrived, so he wasn't afraid to admit it.

"So what if I took it? You are allowed to be pregnant out of wedlock and latch onto an Immortal, Aunt, but I am not allowed to take my father's Medicinal Pill to befriend an Immortal?"

Seeing Xiao Zimu's brazen and fearless appearance, Xiao Tian secretly clenched his fists.

Luo Yunkai observed his Cheap son's reaction, and his intent to kill Xiao Zimu grew stronger.

Kid, you have already paved your own way to death!

"Why didn't you say so earlier? You caused us to wrong your cousin!" Marquis Chengen was nearly furious to death.

Xiao Yueqing was even more teary-eyed, "Zimu, it was clearly you who took your father's Medicinal Pill. Why did you frame your cousin? Watching your cousin almost get beaten to death, do you not feel even a shred of guilt?"

Xiao Zimu sneered, "Guilt? Why should I feel guilty? It wasn't me who ordered the beating."

Yao Banmeng finally understood the sequence of events.

She looked at Xiao Tian beside Luo Yunkai, then at the smug and petty Xiao Zimu, and a flash of disgust crossed her beautiful, charming peach-blossom eyes.

If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Zimu's Medicinal Pill was truly a life-saving grace for her, she would never have bothered with such a petty person!

Speaking to Luo Yunkai again, she felt inexplicably short of confidence, "Fellow Daoist, this matter is a misunderstanding."

Luo Yunkai sneered, "It is indeed a misunderstanding. A misunderstanding where they wrongly accused my son of stealing the Medicinal Pill and almost beat my son to death!"

Son? She had thought Xiao Tian was just a Disciple Luo Yunkai valued and intended to take on, but it turned out to be his son. This matter was tricky.

"Fellow Daoist, if it were you, could you let them go?"

Yao Banmeng could not say the word "Yes."

She sighed leisurely, her trailing tone enticing, "I understand Fellow Daoist's feelings, but he has a grace of favor towards me, and everything started because of me. No matter what, I cannot ignore it, otherwise my Dao Heart will be unstable."

"Furthermore..." Yao Banmeng looked around, her gaze radiant, "Fellow Daoist has already killed too many Mortals. If you continue to kill, I fear it will hinder your cultivation."

Hmm? Luo Yunkai felt that Yao Banmeng didn't really want to be his enemy either.

After thinking about it, he smiled. Isn't it just a favor? I can also do you a favor!

"Since you have to save him to protect your Dao Heart because he did you a favor, what if I also did you a favor?"

"We are both your benefactors. Surely you cannot stop me from avenging my son just for him and make my Dao Heart unstable, right?"

Yao Banmeng smiled amusedly, becoming even more enchanting, "When did Fellow Daoist do me a favor? Why am I not aware of it?"

Luo Yunkai laughed heartily and stroked his beard, "There wasn't one before, but now there is!"

Luo Yunkai flicked his sleeve, and a pile of sparkling Low-Grade Spirit Stones appeared in front of him.

Seeing so many Spirit Stones, Yao Banmeng couldn't help but skip a heartbeat.

"This, this..."

Luo Yunkai smiled slightly. As expected, no cultivator doesn't love Spirit Stones, even if you are a high and mighty Sect Disciple.

"This is one hundred thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones."

Yao Banmeng's brain went boom and nearly exploded. One hundred thousand?

Her Divine Sense couldn't help but sweep over, and it really was!

Luo Yunkai waited for her to confirm before slowly saying, "The last time a foundation establishment pill appeared, the auction price was one hundred thousand Spirit Stones."

"If I give you one hundred thousand Spirit Stones now, giving you a possibility of Foundation Establishment, does that count as a great favor?"

Yao Banmeng's high chest heaved, her eyes never leaving the pile of Spirit Stones. Without a shred of hesitation, she said, "It counts!"

Luo Yunkai nodded with satisfaction, "Very good. Now, I give you a chance for Foundation Establishment. Take it!"

Even though she had already guessed it, when Luo Yunkai actually said it, Yao Banmeng was still somewhat incredulous.

"Give it to me? All of these? All of them?"

She didn't care at all about the disdain and contempt that appeared in the eyes of the Mortals nearby when they saw her greedy appearance.

Luo Yunkai nodded, "Yes, it is all yours."

Yao Banmeng looked deeply at Luo Yunkai, stunned by his extravagance.

She didn't hesitate at all; the scarlet ribbon flew to the pile of Spirit Stones, and she collected them all into her Storage Pouch.

Only then did it feel real to her.

Yao Banmeng's heart pounded. With such a huge sum of one hundred thousand Spirit Stones on her, she couldn't wait to hide it immediately.

"Fellow Daoist Luo, since you have also done me a favor, I will no longer participate in the grudge between you."

Having said that, she was about to leave.

As soon as her feet left the ground, she was tightly grabbed by a pair of cold hands.

"No! You cannot leave! I did it all for you. I only took the Medicinal Pill for you. You cannot ignore me, you cannot..."

Yao Banmeng flicked her fair white finger, and a healing Medicinal Pill entered Xiao Zimu's mouth.

"Your favor, I have repaid."

Having said that, she shook off Xiao Zimu's hand without hesitation and left gracefully.

The survivors of the Chengen Marquiss Residence watched the retreating red figure of Yao Banmeng, despair appearing in their eyes.

Luo Yunkai appreciated their expressions, "Now, you can go..." Die!

"Father, let me do it!"
