417: Palm Toy (Two in One)

"Old Sect Leader, no! First, I'm not sure if I can even produce that herb, but even if I could, what you're doing is too extreme. Sect Master Dong Li will probably hate you for her entire life!" Chen Xuan advised.

"Alas, let her hate me. She'll understand later that I'm doing this for her own good!"

Thousand Cloud Accumulation had a righteous expression, and if Chen Xuan hadn't seen a hint of lewdness in his eyes, Chen Xuan would have believed him.

"Old Sect Leader's suggestion, I'm afraid I cannot obey. Furthermore, although I am of the plant system, my cultivation is too low in the end. Even if I concocted the medicine, it would most likely be ineffective for Sect Master Dong Li, so..."

"Alas, since that's the case, then this Revered Master has nothing else to discuss with you. You may leave. But you must not mention this matter to anyone else, understand?"

"Don't worry, Old Sect Leader, I will keep my lips sealed!"

"Good, go."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan left directly and returned to his Immortal Cave.

Thousand Cloud Accumulation watched Chen Xuan's departing direction, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes, but then he thought that if Chen Xuan died, the Peach Blossom would be gone, so he suppressed the killing intent in his heart.

After the matter is done, he will just be imprisoned. It wouldn't be too late to kill Chen Xuan when he is close to Ascension.

Not long after, the Feixian Sect notified all the Disciples in the Sect that Sect Master Dong Li would be holding a Sect wedding in a week, and at that time, she would invite everyone to attend! The notification now was just to give the Disciples time to prepare.

As for why outsiders were not invited, it was because too many outsiders knew Yu Gang, and there was a possibility of attracting unnecessary trouble if they weren't careful, so it was best not to invite them.

Qingfeng Mountain, Hua Mengjie's side.

"The Sect Master is getting married? Why now! These Disciples don't have to prepare gifts, but as a Mountain Revered Master, I must give a grand gift, but now, all my contribution points have been exchanged for Peach Blossom..."

Hua Mengjie murmured to herself.

"Revered Master, when this Disciple went to the Mission Hall to exchange things today, why did the Disciple there say that we have no contribution points left?" A Disciple asked, puzzled.

"Yes, Revered Master, why was our monthly allowance this month abnormal! When Senior Brother Ye Xingchen was here, there was never such a situation!"

"Don't mention that traitor! Now when I hear his name, it makes me angry!" Mu Feng said.

"But... when Senior Brother was here, he led us on missions, and our monthly allowance was quite generous!"

"Yes, now that Great Master is gone, not only are our missions difficult to do, but even the contribution points from completed missions have disappeared!"

Hua Mengjie lowered her head in shame.

For a moment, she had forgotten that these were the contribution points of everyone on her Qingfeng Mountain. Now, all of it had been squandered by her alone...

"Yes, Great Master even gave his monthly allowance to Su Yao and Mu Feng every month. They must not be lacking in supplies now!"

"I disagreed with locking Great Master in Black Prison at the time, and now look! We have no resources left!"

"Hmph, he killed so many Disciples of the Sect, he should be locked in Black Prison!"

"That's right, just because you don't have resources now, does that mean you can deny his act of harming fellow Disciples? Perhaps one day, when he lays his hands on you..." Mu Feng said in a sinister tone.

At these words, everyone immediately fell silent.

"Revered Master, I remember when you got the contribution token, we still had a lot of contribution points, conservatively estimated, enough for 10 years, why are our contribution points gone now? Did the Mission Hall make a mistake? Should I go and ask them again?"

"No need!" Hua Mengjie said.

"Why, Revered Master? It must be those people in the Mission Hall who embezzled our contribution points. I must go and get them back!"

"I said, no need. As for the contribution points, I will find a way for you. Just wait for now, until Lord Sect Master's wedding is over."

"Yes."

Since Hua Mengjie had spoken, the Disciples naturally had nothing more to say.

However, at this moment, Li Qingfeng, looking haggard and with a head full of silver hair, arrived at Qingfeng Mountain.

"Stop, who are you? How dare you trespass on my Qingfeng Mountain?!" Mu Feng jumped out and said.

Li Qingfeng, at this moment, was too lazy to pay attention to his Disciple, and instead walked straight towards Hua Mengjie:

"Mengjie, you must save me!"

In Chen Xuan's Immortal Cave.

"Hmm... there are still seven days left. I'm already prepared now. What should I do?"

"How about... I capture Ye Xingchen's heroine and play with her? Anyway, Dong Li is currently preoccupied with the wedding preparations and won't notice."

"No, the more I think about it, the more tempted I become. It's better to act than to just think. Beauty, I'm coming!"

Thinking this, Chen Xuan appeared at the entrance of the Black Prison the next moment, and with light steps, he walked inside.

"Elder Chen Xuan, why are you back again? Could it be..." Ye Xingchen said.

Upon hearing this news, Yu Gang also looked over, only Ji Youruo remained silent, sitting alone in the corner.

"Good Disciple, how are things on your side? Do you have the confidence to save your Revered Master and get him out?"

Facing their anxious inquiries, Chen Xuan was too lazy to answer, not even glancing at them. He continued to walk at his own pace, heading straight towards where Ji Youruo was.

"What's wrong with Sister? She seems a bit listless and lacking in Origin Qi today!"

However, what responded to him was Ji Youruo's cold and brief single word:

"Get lost."

"You tell me to get lost and I get lost? Then I'd lose too much Face!"

After he finished speaking, he simply flipped his wrist, and a bronze key appeared in his hand. Immediately after, with a crisp "click," the heavy lock on the prison door opened with a snap.

In an instant, the three people inside the cell were all dumbfounded, standing still on the spot. Even Ji Youruo herself was astonished, unable to believe it.

She never expected that she could step out of this cage that had trapped her for so long so easily. Everything happened like a dream, as if a lifetime had passed.

"You... you actually have the key to the cell??" Ji Youruo was the first to recover, asking in surprise.

Chen Xuan smiled indifferently, and slowly replied, "Why can't I have the key?" With that, he gently pushed open the cell door and stepped inside.

It wasn't until Chen Xuan entered the cell and saw Ji Youruo's beautiful Face up close that he finally understood Ji Youruo's inexplicable attitude and why her attitude towards him had changed so drastically recently.

It turned out that on Ji Youruo's fair, snow-white cheek, there was a shocking slap mark, the vivid red mark like a blooming Hongmei in winter, exceptionally glaring and eye-catching.

"Who hit you?"

Ji Youruo seemed not to hear. She bit her lip tightly, remaining silent, not even looking at Chen Xuan. She just quietly turned her body, seemingly wanting to avoid the question and Chen Xuan's pressing gaze.

But this clearly couldn't satisfy Chen Xuan; his attitude was exceptionally firm.

He lunged forward, grabbed Ji Youruo's shoulder, and with a forceful twist, he forcibly turned her around, forcing her to Face him.

"Do you know that I am a very dangerous woman? If you get this close to me, you could die!"

"I asked you, who hit you?" Chen Xuan repeated again.

Ji Youruo had been imprisoned for many years, and due to the Black Prison, she couldn't absorb Spiritual Qi to replenish herself. Her cultivation was already less than one-tenth of what it once was. At this moment, she was naturally no match for Chen Xuan.

Ji Youruo still didn't speak and pushed Chen Xuan away.

She was at the Great Ascension Stage cultivation. Even if her cultivation was only one-tenth of what it once was, killing Chen Xuan was still not a problem.

The reason she didn't act was because this was the Feixian Sect, and Chen Xuan had some kind of relationship with that woman. If she made a move, she might Face death, so she didn't dare to act.

"Oh, your temper has gotten fiercer now!"

"Slap!" With a crisp sound, Chen Xuan suddenly raised his hand and delivered a solid slap.

This clear sound instantly broke the silence in the Black Prison, echoing continuously in this dark and oppressive space.

Ji Youruo, who was slapped, first froze, then her eyes widened, looking at Chen Xuan with disbelief. "You...!" Her cherry lips were slightly parted, but she was too shocked to speak a complete sentence.

At this moment, her Face quickly turned red at a visible speed, like a ripe apple, so red it seemed about to drip blood. The clear slap mark on her Face gradually disappeared with this flush, completely blending into her flushed Face.

"How dare you!! Do you know who I am?"

Finally, Ji Youruo, having recovered, trembled with anger, gritting her silver teeth and squeezing out this sentence. She glared at Chen Xuan, her eyes seemingly spitting fire. If gazes could kill, Chen Xuan would probably have been cut into a thousand pieces by now.

Facing Ji Youruo's questioning and anger, Chen Xuan remained calm and composed, even a slight smile of disdain playing on the corner of his lips.

"Oh? You still won't say who it was? Then I'd like to see how long you can remain stubborn!" Saying this, he slowly raised his palm again, assuming a posture as if to slap her again.

"You...! Who hit me, don't you know? If it weren't for you..."

"No, what does that have to do with me? Don't you go slandering me here!"

"Hmph, you had just left here when that hateful woman named Dong Li stormed in, and without a word, she raised her hand and gave me a hard slap. Do you dare say you knew nothing about this?" Ji Youruo demanded angrily, her beautiful eyes sparkling with anger and grievance.

If you had a relationship with that Dong Li, you should have just said so, would I have needed to charm you then!

"Dong Li? Why would she suddenly hit someone? And she hit you? Is it because you tried to charm me? But as far as I know, the person she likes isn't...?!!!"

Chen Xuan looked astonished, pondering in his heart.

"You, you actually knew I used a charm spell on you?" Ji Youruo's delicate body trembled, her Face instantly turning ashen, and her once lively eyes were now filled with disbelief and fear.

"Slap!"

"Hmph, do you really think I'm an utterly foolish person? From the very beginning, I knew your intentions. I just never exposed them."

Chen Xuan snorted coldly, looking at Ji Youruo with a chilling gaze.

Before his words faded, he suddenly reached out and firmly grabbed Ji Youruo's slender, smooth wrist.

"You... what are you doing? Let go of me!"

Ji Youruo was terrified, her Face losing color. She struggled desperately to break free from Chen Xuan's grip, but Chen Xuan was too strong, and she couldn't escape.

"Don't move! I just want to help you heal, I mean no harm." Chen Xuan said in a deep voice.

Then, he gently raised his other hand and slowly placed it on Ji Youruo's beautiful Face. Immediately after, a powerful yet gentle Life Force continuously poured out from his palm, softly caressing the wounds on Ji Youruo's cheek like a warm spring breeze.

As the Life Force continued to infuse, the shocking slap marks began to heal and disappear at a visible speed. In just a short while, Ji Youruo's previously injured Face had recovered as before, her skin becoming smooth and delicate again, like translucent white jade.

"Hmm, this is how you look good."

"You... what did you do to me?"

"You'll know once you're out. Are you saying you don't want to leave now?"

"Although I really want to leave, Dong Li is so focused on you. If I leave with you now, I'd be courting death!" Ji Youruo looked at the open cell door, but ultimately shook her head.

"Heh heh, if you ask me, you have no choice!"

As Chen Xuan spoke, he conjured the Sub-grade Huntian Silk and bound Ji Youruo with it.

Qingfeng Mountain.

Brother Qingfeng, you, what happened to you? Why did you suddenly become so old!

Hua Mengjie, upon seeing the weak and decrepit Li Qingfeng, couldn't help but become anxious and restless.

"Cough cough, Mengjie, you must save me! My Life Force is draining away, I need, cough cough, I need Life Peach Blossom!"

"Life Peach Blossom? I, I gave you all I had! Didn't Chen Xuan give you the enhanced version last time? How... how could this happen! Could it be Chen Xuan...? That's impossible, everyone else is fine!"

"Mengjie, save me!" Li Qingfeng said, then fainted. Hua Mengjie was instantly terrified and distraught. She hastily left a few words and then headed to Chen Xuan's Immortal Cave.

When Chen Xuan returned to his Immortal Cave with Ji Youruo bound, he suddenly noticed that Hua Mengjie had returned and was in her own room. So he raised an eyebrow, threw the bound Ji Youruo into his own room, and then headed to Hua Mengjie's room.

"Oh, what a rare guest. What, didn't you say you'd never be my maid again? Why did you decide to come back today? Could it be... you're thirsty and want to drink my cultivation-boosting drink?"

"Bah! Chen Xuan, I never expected you to be such a person! To actually play a dirty trick with the Peach Blossom!"

Chen Xuan blinked.

This isn't right. This woman has no brain, how did she guess? Could this be a Breakthrough in intelligence out of desperation?

But it doesn't matter. For Li Qingfeng, he had already prepared what he wanted to say.

Hua Mengjie... just a plaything in his hand!
