411: You are a beautiful woman

Having been under Li Qingfeng's influence for so long, Li Qingfeng naturally understood her. Under his guidance, Hua Mengjie's biggest weakness was when others looked down on her. So when she didn't say anything, it was...

"Mengjie, wait! This matter requires us to deliberate at length!"

"Deliberate at length about what? He dared to look down on you, Brother Qingfeng, so I must teach him a lesson!" Hua Mengjie said, but her movements obediently stopped.

That Chen Xuan dared to bully her in front of Li Qingfeng. If she went over now, she might be manipulated and coerced by him, saying things like, "You wouldn't want Li Qingfeng to know..." It was best not to go.

Hmm, her mind was still very useful.

"Let's just forget it. If you go to teach him a lesson, Mengjie, Feixian Sect will inevitably punish you, and this will also make him harbor resentment towards you. Then our future Peach Blossom will..." Li Qingfeng feigned magnanimity.

"Alright, I'll listen to you."

"Mm, this matter still requires lengthy deliberation. However..." Li Qingfeng suddenly hesitated.

"However what?"

"However, that Chen Xuan fellow has a Life Leaf from the tree of life, and he let you handle it entirely, Mengjie. Why didn't you tell me about this?"

"Brother Qingfeng, why would I tell you this? Our goal shouldn't be to build a good relationship with him so he'll give us Peach Blossom?" Hua Mengjie asked in confusion.

Due to her intelligence being lowered, she considered many good things not very difficult to obtain, so she didn't take them to heart at all.

"Oh dear, why are you so slow to react! The Life Leaf from the tree of life is a priceless treasure for us cultivators. If I can get it, my cultivation will definitely improve!" Li Qingfeng explained.

"Yes, yes, I really didn't pay much attention before. So, Brother Qingfeng, what do you want to do?" Hua Mengjie asked.

Li Qingfeng looked at Hua Mengjie without speaking. After a long time, he finally spoke:

"Mengjie, you've worked hard."

"Huh? Why do you say that?"

"Because you took to heart what I asked you to do before. That Chen Xuan's trust in you now allows you to freely take his greatest treasures."

"Oh, no, it's just that I usually help him a lot, so he trusts me so much!" Hua Mengjie said, blushing.

As for why Chen Xuan trusted her so much, she intended to keep it a secret forever, telling no one.

"That's why I said you've worked hard."

"This is all for you, Brother Qingfeng. Right now, I still have a lot of contribution points, and I can buy quite a few Peach Blossoms. It'll be enough for you, Brother Qingfeng!"

"Mm, but since you know he has a Life Leaf from the tree of life, does he have any other treasures? The kind that can improve cultivation!"

"Improve cultivation, huh... There are some, but I'm not sure what they are."

"What!?? You, why didn't you say so earlier!" Li Qingfeng's voice cracked slightly.

He had only asked casually, but he hadn't expected that such a thing actually existed!

If you, Hua Mengjie, had told me earlier, would I have had to beg for Peach Blossoms like this? Wouldn't it have been better if I had just asked for the cultivation-improving treasures directly!

"I... I'm not entirely sure what it is, and Brother Qingfeng, you said you wanted Peach Blossom..."

"You!!!" Li Qingfeng genuinely wanted to scold Hua Mengjie for being stupid, but the words caught in his throat and he swallowed them back.

His grand plan still needed Hua Mengjie.

Soon, Li Qingfeng put on a smiling face again:

"Mengjie, since Chen Xuan has such a supreme treasure, and the Peach Blossom is so strictly controlled, I think we can forego the Peach Blossom and just ask for the cultivation-improving treasures he has, wouldn't that be better?"

"But... I don't know what kind of things can improve cultivation. Last time... I also accidentally drank several of his drinks, and my cultivation only slightly improved like that!"

"Drinks? You're in the Great Ascension Stage, and your cultivation still slightly improved?! If I were to consume them, wouldn't my cultivation..." Li Qingfeng was ecstatic upon hearing this.

"Uh, theoretically, it's feasible! But..." Hua Mengjie hesitated.

"But what?"

"No, nothing. Since you want it, Brother Qingfeng, I'll think of a way for you. I'm just worried that Chen Xuan only trades for Peach Blossom, and won't be willing to trade the rest!"

"We'll only know if we ask. Oh, right, you've seen his Life Leaf. How much does he have in stock now?"

"A full, full cabinet. I even suspect that's not his limit; he definitely has more!"

"A full cabinet!!!" Li Qingfeng gasped.

"How is that possible? Did he get an entire tree of life?"

"That, I don't know either!"

Li Qingfeng lowered his head, lost in thought. Then, he still couldn't help but slowly speak:

"Mengjie, next, I hope you can continue to work hard. While Chen Xuan is unprepared, secretly take out some of the Life Leaf from the tree of life.

During this time, I will quickly raise my cultivation so that I can be worthy of you... Before he discovers it, let's get the Life Leaf from the tree of life. Can you do it?"

Hua Mengjie looked at Li Qingfeng, a struggle in her heart. She knew that the Life Leaf from the tree of life was of great benefit to cultivators, and she also knew that Li Qingfeng wanted to improve his cultivation, but she didn't want to be a thief.

At the same time, a trace of dissatisfaction arose in her heart towards Li Qingfeng, but this trace of dissatisfaction quickly disappeared.

"Brother Qingfeng, isn't what we're doing not very good? Chen Xuan has been good to me. What I'm doing isn't fair to him." Hua Mengjie said hesitantly.

"Mengjie, I know you are kind-hearted and don't want to do such a thing. But, think about it, if Chen Xuan keeps refusing to give us Peach Blossom, we will never be able to obtain Peach Blossom.

And if there are no other substitutes, my cultivation will not be able to improve. At that time, how can I be worthy of you!" Li Qingfeng earnestly persuaded her.

Hua Mengjie fell silent. She could clearly feel a sense of tearing, but she just couldn't pinpoint what was wrong.

"Mengjie! You know that in the world of cultivation, only strength can guarantee one's safety. Chen Xuan is our only chance now; we cannot give up!

Don't worry, once I obtain the Life Leaf and my cultivation improves, I will definitely compensate him!" Seeing Hua Mengjie hesitate, Li Qingfeng continued to persuade her.

Hua Mengjie looked at Li Qingfeng, her heart wavering. She knew that Li Qingfeng was right; in the world of cultivation, strength was indeed the most important thing. However, she didn't want to be a thief and steal Chen Xuan's things.

"Brother Qingfeng, let me think about it some more." Hua Mengjie sighed and said.

"Alright, Mengjie, think it over carefully. But our time is running out; we must get the Peach Blossom as soon as possible. Otherwise, I... sigh!"

"What's wrong, Brother Qingfeng? Why are you sighing!"

"Otherwise, I'm afraid I... don't have much time left to live!"

"What?! You, how could you..." Hua Mengjie paled with fright.

"Sigh, to be honest with you, just a few days ago, after I took the Peach Blossom, I could clearly feel my Luck rapidly increasing. So, I forcefully Broke through without sufficient preparation, and then..."

Sigh! If it weren't for having no other choice and needing life-type resources, why would I resort to such a measure!"

"No, you won't die! I, I'll find a way. This is the Life Peach Blossom I exchanged for a few days ago. Brother Qingfeng, you use it first!"

Li Qingfeng took the Peach Blossom, a strange expression appearing at the corner of his mouth.
