183: Niu Hulu Xiao Hongdou

Lin Chuqing stood rooted to the spot, her face expressionless, her beauty captivating; a gentle breeze rustled her clothes, making her seem like a goddess about to ascend.

Her clear, indifferent eyes now held a look of shock, and her mind was racing.

She knew Xiao Hongdou was quick-witted, eloquent, and skilled at navigating social situations.

They originally had no connection, but it was all thanks to Xiao Hongdou's glib tongue that they became close sisters who could talk about anything.

First, she sweet-talked Liu Ruyan so much that Liu Ruyan didn't even realize she had brought her home.

Then it was their master and disciple, with all sorts of elaborate praises that made it hard for them not to like her.

They initially thought she was a sweet girl.

However, they never expected that she wasn't a sweet girl at all, but clearly a black sesame-filled glutinous rice ball.

Just look at Lin Xuan; it was an obvious trap, making a powerful Divine Fire Realm expert furious.

Yet, he dared not do anything to Xiao Hongdou.

Hmm, no, that's not right.

Why did Lin Xuan's gaze towards Xiao Hongdou lose its anger and instead fill with joy?

Not sure, let's observe again.

"Treasure, the treasure is mine, Xiao Hongdou's!"

Seeing that Lin Xuan had no intention of taking back the Enlightenment Spirit Jade, Xiao Hongdou was overjoyed and immediately put the Enlightenment Spirit Jade into her storage ring.

Although she didn't know what level of magical artifact the Enlightenment Spirit Jade was.

However, holding it in her hand, her spirit felt ethereal, all cultivation difficulties became clear, her bottlenecks loosened, and there were faint signs of a breakthrough.

This was definitely an extraordinary Enlightenment Treasure.

Its preciousness exceeded her imagination.

Xiao Hongdou was incredibly excited; such a valuable treasure, and she managed to trick it into her hands with just a few words.

It was truly a windfall from heaven, making her dizzy with joy.

Numerous thoughts flashed through her mind, and Xiao Hongdou subtly peeked at Lin Xuan's expression.

She saw Lin Xuan's expression change from anger to joy, looking at her with excitement and ecstasy.

Xiao Hongdou was instantly filled with questions.

Had Lin Xuan been driven mad by her?

"Hongdou, do you want divine medicines and divine artifacts?" Lin Xuan's lips curved into a smile as he spoke softly.

He had figured it out; Xiao Hongdou was extremely fond of money, a true little money grubber.

Lin Xuan didn't bother to beat around the bush with Xiao Hongdou; after all, he wasn't short on treasures.

Moreover, as long as Xiao Hongdou became his disciple, the system's rewards would be more than enough for him to make a fortune.

"Yes!"

He's crazy, Lin Xuan is truly mad, eagerly offering her treasures.

Xiao Hongdou answered almost without hesitation, her eyes sparkling like stars.

At this moment, she was almost going crazy with excitement.

Who would understand?

Before coming to Star God Temple, she was just a small cannon fodder in her sect, without even a hundred low-grade spirit stones.

She relied on her glib tongue to establish a connection with Liao Qi, persuading her to bring her to Star God Temple.

From then on, she evolved from cannon fodder Xiao Hongdou into Xiao · Niohuru · Hongdou · Rich Woman.

First, she obtained divine marrow and divine fruits, then she latched onto the destined protagonist, Emperor Ruyan, and the destined protagonist, Lin Chuqing.

Now, she had even obtained an Enlightenment Treasure, with divine medicines and divine artifacts within reach.

She had truly taken off.

Longevity, shattering stars with a flick of a finger, looking down on eons of time... none of these were dreams anymore.

"Good, kneel, kowtow, call me Master, continue to complete our unfinished discipleship ceremony, and the divine medicines and divine artifacts will be yours," Lin Xuan coaxed.

"No, I cannot betray Sister Rou." Xiao Hongdou immediately sobered up upon hearing this, shaking her head in refusal.

To be honest, Xiao Hongdou was very tempted and wanted to become a disciple, to get the divine medicines and divine artifacts first.

But Lin Chuqing had said that she could deceive Lin Xuan in any way, but she absolutely could not become his disciple, otherwise, she would be her enemy.

Although Xiao Hongdou didn't understand, she dared not cross the line.

"Hongdou, let's be frank, you and Rou'er, we both know what's going on."

Lin Xuan was a little disappointed, but it was also within his expectations.

In his opinion, Xiao Hongdou was cunning and shrewd, someone who wouldn't let go of a rabbit until she had caught the hawk.

As long as he tempted her a little more, Xiao Hongdou would surely be unable to resist.

Thinking of bringing Xiao Hongdou, this cunning little fox, into his sect, Lin Xuan's lips curved into a smile, looking like he had everything under control and was determined to succeed.

"Since you don't want to be a disciple, then so be it."

Lin Xuan sighed, a self-deprecating bitter smile on his face: "Pity me, with so many treasures, yet no disciples to inherit them."

The way he said that.

Xiao Hongdou really wanted to give him a big slap; how capable are you, why don't you just ascend to the heavens?

"Hongdou."

Lin Chuqing shook her head slightly at her, then bowed to Lin Xuan as a junior.

"Martial Uncle, this disciple has an appointment with the Saint Son of the Myriad Ancient Sword Sect, so I will take my leave first."

"..."

No, is it really appropriate for you two to take my treasures and just leave like that?

Lin Xuan's expression cracked, and he took a deep breath: "Hmm, go, I'm bored anyway, I'll go with you to take a look."

"Thank you for your care, Martial Uncle," Lin Chuqing said gratefully.

To have a Divine Fire Realm expert accompany her was a great honor.

Although she wished she could kill Lin Xuan, now was not the time to show her hand.

"No need for such formalities, you are Rou'er's disciple, so you are my disciple."

Lin Xuan felt comfortable.

This was the perfect disciple in his heart.

Absolutely beautiful, unparalleled talent, polite, and grateful, unlike Xiao Hongdou, who had a venomous tongue and a dark heart.

"Tsk tsk..."

Seeing this, Xiao Hongdou couldn't help but click her tongue twice, full of mockery.

Openly trying to poach Luo Rou's disciples, yet still pretending to have deep brotherly affection for Luo Rou, how hypocritical.

It was fortunate that they had discovered Lin Xuan's true colors, otherwise, with all the treasures he was giving and his extreme care, they would surely have been deceived by Lin Xuan.

Xiao Hongdou's eyes darted around, and a plan came to mind.

Since Lin Xuan liked to pretend so much, she would let him pretend to his heart's content.

Over the next few days, Xiao Hongdou continuously found various excuses to demand treasures from Lin Xuan.

It wasn't enough for her to ask for herself; she also brought her little sisters along to get rich, and if he didn't give, she would immediately turn hostile, fully displaying her nature as a little villain.

It could be said that she tormented Lin Xuan to no end; in order to take her as a disciple, he had to grit his teeth and swallow this silent loss.

But no matter how wealthy he was, he couldn't withstand Xiao Hongdou's constant demands.

Especially the Enlightenment Spirit Jade; he only had ten in total.

He gave five to his disciples, Gu Qing snatched four, and Luo Li took one.

Chu Yao tricked him out of one.

Now, with the four girls demanding them, he had none left.

In the future, when cultivating or giving sermons, Lin Xuan would only be able to sit on the floor.

Sacred medicines and divine medicines were also completely depleted.

Magical artifacts were also few and far between.

Cultivation techniques and secret arts, almost all that could be taught had been taught.

Lin Xuan was now afraid whenever he saw Xiao Hongdou.

The moment her small mouth opened, he would suffer financial loss.

For Xiao Hongdou, this little villain, Lin Xuan truly felt both love and hate.

He vowed in his heart that once he had lured Xiao Hongdou home, he would definitely discipline her well.

As for Liu Ruyan and her two sisters... Lin Xuan comforted himself: "Money is an external possession, mere sacred medicines and divine medicines are nothing, if they're gone, they're gone."

He felt that Liu Ruyan and her two sisters were almost hooked.

The four proud daughters of heaven were just a thin sheet of paper away from becoming his disciples.

Today, he would break through that sheet of paper.

Thinking this, Lin Xuan felt that everything was worth it.

Standing at the foot of Starlight Peak, Lin Xuan clasped his hands behind his back and looked up, thinking coldly in his heart: "Jiang Yu, since you are heartless, don't blame me for being unrighteous."

Jiang Yu had shamelessly betrayed him, owing him a life-saving favor and not repaying it, so he shouldn't blame him for poaching her disciples.

This was what Jiang Yu owed him.

Luring away Jiang Yu's disciples was just collecting a small amount of interest.

One day, he would repay Jiang Yu a hundredfold for what she owed him.

As for poaching Luo Rou's disciples, Lin Xuan hadn't really thought about it.

Seeing Lin Chuqing, Lin Xuan's mind was full of system rewards and getting stronger.
