216: 216 I don't need your help

"That is... an Outer Path Heavenly Demon."

At that moment, Mu Qingyue's gaze fell on Di Youruo's face, and her pupils shrank slightly.

She found me.

So what if she found me?

The one holding husband's arm right now is me.

Di Youruo raised an eyebrow at Mu Qingyue.

"Give her a hand."

Li Qing said in a deep voice.

Then he moved, leading Di Youruo toward the Void World, passing right by Mu Qingyue.

"Destroy."

Di Youruo waved her sleeve, and a terrifying Outer Path power erupted, instantly blasting the people surrounding Mu Qingyue into nothingness.

Then Di Youruo looked back and winked at Mu Qingyue, her lips curving into a smirk as she entered the Void World arm-in-arm with Li Qing.

He had the Outer Path Heavenly Demon help me.

Why is he ignoring me?

Could he have been charmed by her?

Mu Qingyue was stunned.

No.

I have to save him.

Mu Qingyue bit her lip and followed them.

Not long after.

Li Qing and Di Youruo arrived in the depths of the Void World. On the way, they encountered some Grandmist Cultivators with ill intentions, whom Di Youruo dealt with effortlessly.

"Tsk tsk, isn't this the woman who was following Li Qing that day?"

"How did she get hurt so badly?"

"Do you want This Young Master to help bandage you up?"

"I'm quite good at it."

A sinister voice rang out from the depths of the Void World.

"If you dare touch me..."

"...I will definitely kill you."

A cold, aloof voice suddenly rang out.

"Oh, how fierce."

"Truly fierce."

"Go ahead and scream. Even if you scream your throat raw, no one will come..."

Bang.

The voice came to an abrupt halt as a large foot slammed into the speaker's face, sending him flying.

The one who attacked was none other than Li Qing.

And the person who went flying was none other than Gu Beichen.

Near the two of them, a heavily injured woman in blue lay on the ground.

It was Feng Qingzhu.

"Li Qing."

Feng Qingzhu was stunned when she saw Li Qing.

She hadn't expected to run into him here.

"How did you get so badly injured?"

Li Qing appeared before Feng Qingzhu in a flash and reached out to pick her up from the ground.

Feng Qingzhu naturally leaned into Li Qing's embrace.

Gu Beichen: "..."

"Li Qing."

Gu Beichen glared at Li Qing through gritted teeth.

Why is it that as soon as Li Qing arrives, you fall into his arms?

But with me, you'd rather die than submit.

I won't accept this!

"husband, who is this now?"

Just then, a fragrant breeze blew by, and a seductive face appeared before Li Qing. Purple eyes blinked as they looked at Feng Qingzhu.

"What a beautiful stunner."

The moment Gu Beichen saw Di Youruo, his eyes lit up.

"Stunner?"

"You really must have a death wish."

Di Youruo's eyes suddenly turned cold. With a wave of her sleeve, a surge of Outer Path power slammed into Gu Beichen, blasting him dozens of miles away.

Gah!

After coughing up a mouthful of blood, Gu Beichen fainted.

"Oh? He's still alive?"

Di Youruo prepared to strike again to finish him off.

"That's enough."

"If he dies, the Grandmist Heavenly Dao will go crazy."

"You probably won't be able to stay hidden."

Li Qing spoke up to stop her.

"What a beautiful woman."

Feng Qingzhu's gaze fell on Di Youruo, and she was stunned.

Di Youruo's beauty was breathtaking even to another woman like her.

"What's the use of being beautiful?"

"No matter how beautiful I am, no one holds me like that."

Di Youruo lightly bit her red lip.

As soon as she said this, a strong scent of jealousy filled the air.

Li Qing: "..."

"You really know how to attract women."

Feng Qingzhu glared fiercely at Li Qing.

"Put me down."

"I don't need you to care."

Feng Qingzhu gritted her teeth.

Without a word, Li Qing placed Feng Qingzhu on the ground.

Feng Qingzhu's eyes widened as she stared at Li Qing.

You actually put me down?

I'm still injured!

You jerk.

A sudden, indescribable sense of grievance welled up in Feng Qingzhu's heart.

She didn't even know what she was feeling aggrieved about.

She just felt miserable.

But just then, Li Qing knelt down and began to unfasten Feng Qingzhu's outer garment.

"W-what are you doing?"

Feng Qingzhu's eyes widened again as she looked at Li Qing.

"Treating your injuries."

"If we don't take care of them now, they might leave permanent damage."

Li Qing said solemnly.

"Wait... wait a minute."

"I'll do it myself. Don't... don't look."

A blush crept onto Feng Qingzhu's face.

"It's not like I haven't treated your injuries before."

"And it's not like I haven't seen you before."

Li Qing rolled his eyes and ignored her protests. He carefully treated her external wounds and then fed her a healing Medicinal Pill.

Throughout the process, Feng Qingzhu's face remained flushed, and she didn't dare look at Li Qing.

Di Youruo watched from the side, gritting her teeth.

In the distant Void Realm, Mu Qingyue's eyes were filled with complex emotions.

For a moment, she didn't know what to feel.

Before long, Li Qing finished treating Feng Qingzhu's injuries.

"The Void World could disappear at any moment."

"You should head out first."

"I'll come find you after I've finished things here."

Li Qing said in a deep voice.

"Don't go any deeper. There's a Void Beast at the Major Achievement Stage inside; that's what injured me."

Feng Qingzhu quickly grabbed Li Qing's arm.

"It's fine."

"She's quite the fighter."

Li Qing helped Feng Qingzhu up and pointed at Di Youruo with a smile.

Hmph.

Now you think of me.

Bastard.

Di Youruo gave Li Qing a sharp glare.

"Then be careful. I'll wait for you outside."

Feng Qingzhu nodded slightly, then soared into the air and flew toward the exit of the Void World.

"husband, do I smell nice?"

Di Youruo came to Li Qing's side, her purple eyes blinking.

"No time for this nonsense. Hurry up and head inside, or the Opportunity will be gone."

Li Qing rolled his eyes and flew further in.

Di Youruo quickly followed.

"husband, watch out!"

Suddenly, Di Youruo appeared in front of Li Qing, shielding him. A giant claw, nearly invisible, lunged out from the Void Realm toward them.

"Get lost!"

Di Youruo flipped her jade-like hand and blasted the giant claw apart with a palm strike.

A terrifying roar echoed through the Void Realm.

Outer Path power eroded the Void Realm. The moment a hideous beast saw Di Youruo, it tucked its tail and fled.

In the Outer Path Starry Sky, Outer Path Heavenly Demons were at the top of the food chain; countless Void Beasts and World-Devouring Beasts were their prey.

The nearby Void Realm began to collapse, and a bead radiating chaotic light emerged.

"The chaos bead."

Li Qing's eyes lit up. He appeared before the chaos bead in a flash and collected it.

[This is a great treasure that the Grandmist Heavenly Dao guided Gu Beichen to.]

[Once this guy has the chaos bead, combined with his Innate Dao Fetus and Pure World Red Lotus, he'll be able to go on another rampage in the Hongmeng World.]

[Good. Now that the chaos bead is in my hands, I've cut off one of your arms first.]

The Heavenly Dao is guiding Gu Beichen.

It seems I should still eliminate him when I get the chance.

Di Youruo's gaze turned cold.

"husband, Mu Qingyue has been following us."

"Do you think she misses you?"

"How about I help you two out again?"

Di Youruo whispered into Li Qing's ear, her breath like orchids.

Li Qing: "..."

"Don't do anything reckless."

Li Qing rolled his eyes.

"Fine, I won't."

"I helped you find such a great treasure like the chaos bead."

"Shouldn't you help me too?"

"I was injured by the shock when I fought the Void Beast just now."

"My chest still hurts a little."

"Help me take a look."

Di Youruo leaned forward slightly, revealing a terrifying sword wound that immediately caught Li Qing's eye.

Li Qing: "..."
