101: Luo Li: I killed people and exterminated the clan to steal treasures. I was not wrong.

The void flying boat quickly arrived at Fallen Sun Valley, reaching Luo Li's cave.

After waiting for a while, Luo Li's eyes were as dark as water, as if brewing boundless rage.

"Junior Sister, what's wrong?" Gu Qing asked, puzzled.

Logically speaking, they hadn't seen each other for many years. Shouldn't Luo Li be excited to see him?

He had come to refine pills for Luo Li.

"Nothing, just cheated by a shameless scoundrel. I really want to burn him to death with flames right now." Luo Li's beautiful eyes were deep, and she said expressionlessly.

"What?"

"Who is it?"

"How dare he bully my Junior Sister, I will not let him off easily."

Gu Qing was overjoyed internally, but his face showed a furious expression.

Luo Li was a Heavenly Fate Great Villain, and the only person who could trick her was probably the protagonist.

Luo Li did not disappoint him; her ability to attract the protagonist was outstanding.

"Will you really stand up for me? He is very powerful and very shameless, even deceiving women."

Luo Li's bright red lips curved slightly, and she looked at Gu Qing with interest.

She didn't know why, but seeing Gu Qing's indignant expression, the anger accumulated in her heart dissipated a little.

After all, her Senior Brother seemed to care about her a lot.

"Of course, anyone who dares to bully you is going against me." Gu Qing said without hesitation.

"Let's not talk about that for now. Why do you always ignore my messages?"

Speaking of this, the anger in Luo Li's heart couldn't stop surging.

It was truly infuriating.

She was full of anticipation, excitedly having people collect spirit herbs, but then Gu Qing went out of contact.

The feeling was simply suffocating to the point of explosion.

If only Gu Qing had replied, she could have waited however long it took, and it would even have been fine if he hadn't refined pills for her.

She wouldn't have been so distraught.

"I rarely check my communication jade slips; I usually keep them in my storage ring, so... you know." Gu Qing explained casually.

Luo Li was just a tool, and he had no intention of wasting more time on her.

"You're not allowed to ignore my messages from now on."

"You must get a definite reply from me before you can cut off contact." Luo Li said through gritted teeth.

???

Looking at the furious Luo Li, Gu Qing was stunned.

Was it just because he cut off contact a little too quickly?

It shouldn't be enough to break her, should it?

"Speak."

Luo Li's anger had not subsided.

Although she knew that Gu Qing wasn't deliberately playing with her, and ignoring messages was just his nature.

But she really hated people who didn't reply to messages.

She wished she could burn them alive with Phoenix Nirvana Fire to quell the hatred in her heart.

?

Alright, alright, so she dared to be so arrogant towards him, huh?

After many years, it seemed Luo Li thought her wings had hardened.

Today, he would let her know that her Senior Brother was still her Senior Brother.

"Junior Sister, you have a lot of fire. Do you need Senior Brother to help you cool down?"

Gu Qing reached out and, with lightning speed, pinched the soft flesh of her cheek, a gentle smile on his face.

"Bastard!"

Luo Li was furious, slapped his hand away, her eyes as sharp as knives, her aura imposing and domineering, like an empress about to erupt.

However, her delicate earlobes flushed red, betraying her deeply and indicating that her heart was not calm.

"Heh!"

Gu Qing chuckled. Teasing a ruthless villain was quite interesting.

But he also knew the principle of moderation. He pinched her again, then immediately changed the subject.

"Let's go inside to talk."

"Bastard, shameless! Don't touch me again. Men and women should not touch each other."

He actually pinched her again and again, how hateful!

All of Luo Li's image – noble and cold, domineering and arrogant, with the aura of viewing all living beings as ants – was completely destroyed by Gu Qing.

In a fit of anger, she fumed, then endured and endured, finally holding back the urge to teach Gu Qing a lesson.

After all, she still had to rely on Gu Qing; he was a mountain pressing down on her.

Currently, she didn't have the ability to turn the tables and be in charge.

For now, she would tolerate him.

However, Gu Qing had oppressed her to this extent, and she wouldn't let it go so easily.

She swore that once she broke through to the Saint Realm, she would definitely stomp on Gu Qing's face with her foot to vent her hatred.

Thinking this, Luo Li glared at him fiercely, snorted, and turned to enter the cave.

"Interesting." An angry Luo Li was quite cute.

Gu Qing smiled. Was the female villain pondering how to get revenge on him?

Too bad, that would never happen in this lifetime.

He was a man with cheats.

"Hey, who is this person?"

"I don't know."

The people guarding the cave's formation were stunned speechless.

Luo Li was a peerless goddess, domineering, arrogant, and haughty.

Even the successors of those Holy Lands and immortal families were not worthy of carrying her shoes.

Someone as noble as Luo Li was actually pinched on the face?

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed it.

So, who exactly was this mysterious man who pinched Luo Li?

Was he just a Senior Brother?

He didn't look like it.

Inside the main hall, Gu Qing's divine sense swept around, secretly filled with admiration.

The entire cave had over a hundred Void Dao Realm cultivators, ten King Realm cultivators, and three Venerable Realm cultivators.

All combined, they were comparable to a typical Holy Land.

Luo Li's ability to recruit so many powerful individuals in such a short time was truly impressive.

Moreover, the cave's formation was also extraordinary; it was a Saint-level grand formation.

It could be said that Luo Li could already establish a Holy Land.

"Why are you recruiting so many people?" Gu Qing asked curiously.

While it was good to have powerful people, they also needed benefits.

“None of your business.”

Luo Li rolled her eyes, her cold and domineering face gaining a few hints of charm, luscious and alluring.

Living in this world, one cannot go a single day without power or influence.

Using the name of the Star God Temple, her work was incredibly smooth.

With just a few words, these people willingly risked their lives for her, collecting all sorts of resources.

As for the benefits she promised them, it was simple.

She made smaller factions pay tribute to her; if they refused, she would directly annihilate their sects.

Also, if she coveted any treasure, she would simply have them go seize it themselves, and she could even pick the treasures first.

So, there were many benefits to recruiting strong individuals; why wouldn't she do it?

"Heh!"

Gu Qing felt his hands getting itchy again. The dignity of a Senior Brother could not be challenged.

"Senior Brother, please refine pills for me quickly. I've collected several hundred batches of rank-nine spirit pills."

Luo Li's eyes flashed with panic, and she quickly leaned back, truly scared of being pinched again.

That feeling was too humiliating.

"So many?" Gu Qing was surprised.

The spirit herbs for refining rank-nine spirit pills were extremely rare and precious.

The cheapest ones cost at least hundreds of thousands of high-grade spirit stones, and expensive ones could even sell for over a hundred million.

And one batch of rank-nine pills required at least dozens to hundreds of spirit herbs.

Yet Luo Li had collected several hundred batches within three years. How many factions had she robbed?

"Mm, Senior Brother, you can refine them as you see fit."

Luo Li handed her storage ring to him.

Gu Qing's divine sense swept over it, and he fell silent.

Inside, there were not only rank-nine spirit herbs, but also over ten million spirit herbs of rank three and above.

With such a massive amount of spirit herbs, it was obvious that they were obtained through coercion, enticement, or outright robbery.

This meant that Luo Li had caused boundless slaughter in Hao Ri Divine Province and even several surrounding major provinces over the past few years.

Who knew how many factions had been persecuted by Luo Li?

"Cause less slaughter. It won't do you any good. If you develop inner demons, it will be more loss than gain." Gu Qing couldn't help but advise.

"Heh."

Luo Li sneered, and said coldly: "Heaven raises all things to nourish humans, but humans have nothing to repay Heaven. Heaven and Earth nourish humans, yet the world still resents Heaven and Earth for being unkind."

It was not wrong for mortals to eat grains and slaughter cattle, horses, chickens, and ducks for nourishment.

It was not wrong for cultivators to consume the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth, kill demonic beasts, and seize spirit herbs and treasures.

She killed people and annihilated clans, taking what she needed. What was her fault?

She was not wrong.

Luo Li had a clear conscience. How could she have inner demons?

"Fine, as long as you have a clear conscience."

Hearing Luo Li say this, Gu Qing knew that Luo Li's disposition was transcendent; she viewed all living beings as equal.

There was no difference between humans and weeds.

His advice was superfluous.

Gu Qing was not a bleeding heart either; the lives and deaths of the people of the world had nothing to do with him.

Thinking this, Gu Qing asked: "Speaking of which, which short-sighted person deceived you? Quickly tell your Senior Brother, and I will definitely tear him to pieces."
