89: The Holy Maiden of Putuo was so wronged that she cried because of Cao Cao...

"Are you f***ing doing this on purpose? I have 2550 destiny value, and you just happen to offer 2500 for perfect refinement?"

Cao Meng shook his head, feeling that this System God was getting increasingly wicked.

Spending three years to blood sacrifice a defective product.

That was utter nonsense.

As Thief Cao, how could he settle for something subpar? If he was going to do it, it had to be the best, the most perfect.

"No need to rush. I'll get King Gou first!"

That guy Yuan Hao was too good at being Gou; not only did he have an endless supply of trump cards, but his life-saving ability was also super strong. The key was that he was extremely Gou—he was the kind of guy who would be afraid of a falling leaf smashing him.

Such a person was difficult to deal with.

They both had the foundation of a Ninth Heaven Fated One.

In Cao Meng's opinion, Xu Tian was more than one level below King Gou Yuan Hao.

Putting aside everything else, just looking at the exchange panel, this guy occupied two slots.

One was an ice coffin, suspected to belong to a mighty expert.

The other was the Scarlet Flame Demon Emperor's natal fire spirit pearl.

Both were treasures worth over two thousand destiny value.

Besides these two, Heaven knew what other good things this guy had in his possession.

Therefore, he absolutely could not be given any chance to turn the tables!

"I just happen to be short one hundred destiny value... how about~" Cao Meng's eyes shifted.

"Thief Cao, what are you trying to do?"

Sensing Thief Cao's malicious gaze, Xu Fenghua on the small boat instantly grew nervous.

"Women are truly heartless."

Cao Meng shook his head. "I exhausted my efforts to help you with the Awakening of the Divine Healing Body, and this is how you treat me."

I lost tens of billions of spiritual power for nothing.

"Forget it, I'll deal with it later."

With a thought, he brought the Chi Ling Demon Empress and Xu Fenghua out of the immeasurable sword gourd.

"Master, the people from Putuo Immortal Mountain have arrived with Fairy Xue Yue, and they are waiting outside to see you!" As soon as Cao Meng stepped out of the Sword Gourd Space, the Red-Clothed Demoness Yan Yumo said impatiently.

"Oh, if they've come, they've come. What are you afraid of?"

Cao Meng looked at Yan Yumo, slightly surprised.

"Master, the person from Mount Putuo recognized me," Yan Yumo quickly said.

"Oh, so that's it!"

Cao Meng smiled noncommittally. "Fine, let's go meet them."

Ganquan Palace, side hall reception room.

A middle-aged Buddhist nun dressed in a hemp monastic robe sat opposite Fairy Xue Yue. The nun had a horrifying knife scar on her face, and her expression was icy, looking extremely troubled.

"Master Mieling, please calm down. I don't think Senior Brother Cao is a bad person, and he shouldn't do anything untoward to Junior Sister Fenghua. Otherwise, the White Deer Sacred Spirit wouldn't have personally appointed him as the White Deer Holy Master," Fairy Xue Yue comforted her with a smile.

"Hmph!"

Master Mieling coldly snorted, saying impolitely, "This young man associates with that Yin Demon. You, Fairy Xue Yue, saw it just now. Why are you still defending him?"

Just as her voice fell, Cao Meng, leading the Red-Clad Female Demon and Xu Fenghua, strode casually out from the back hall:

"Oh, this must be the esteemed expert from Putuo Immortal Mountain? May I ask what advice you have for visiting my humble abode?"

Fairy Xue Yue quickly rose to greet him, speaking first: "Senior Brother Cao, this is the Sword-Wielding Elder of Mount Putuo, Master Mieling. She is upright and hates evil like fire. She has come specifically to resolve the misunderstanding between our two parties."

"Mieling? I thought it was Miejue!"

Cao Meng chuckled. This Master Mieling was filled with an aura of hostility that was even three parts stronger than that Devil Head.

"Saintess, you're alright..."

Master Mieling, clutching a long sword wrapped in red cloth, swept her fierce eyes over Xu Fenghua, who was standing behind Cao Meng, and was instantly stunned.

The Saintess Your Highness before her seemed like a completely different person.

Especially the endless vitality emanating from her... "You, Saintess, are you~"

*Swoosh*

Master Mieling's figure was like a spatial leap, instantly appearing in front of Xu Fenghua, and her withered old hand grabbed her wrist pulse.

"This, this is the Divine Healing Body? You, you actually had the Awakening!"

Master Mieling was so excited that her lips trembled.

What great joy!

With this Sacred Body present, why would Putuo Immortal Mountain worry about not flourishing?

Putuo Immortal Mountain had been longing for the Saintess to experience the Awakening of the Divine Healing Body like waiting for the stars and the moon. Now, she finally had the Awakening... "I..."

Looking at the Elder's excited appearance, Xu Fenghua couldn't feel happy at all.

Mainly because the process of this Awakening was truly—hard to describe.

Cao Meng laughed heartily: "Haha, Revered Mistress, no need to be agitated. I merely employed a small technique to help your Sect Saintess achieve the Awakening of her Sacred Body."

Shameless!

Xu Fenghua was so angry she was nearly crying.

This dog thief was truly shameless.

At a time like this, he still had the audacity to seek credit.

Did you help me?

You were... "Oh?" Master Mieling was startled. She turned back to look at Cao Meng, her eyes becoming much kinder. "Saintess, is this true?"

"This, I..."

Xu Fenghua didn't know what to say.

Seeing that the Saintess Your Highness did not deny it, Master Mieling immediately stopped doubting, bowed deeply to Cao Meng, and said, "Thank you, Young Master!"

"Revered Mistress, you are too polite. It was merely a small favor," Cao Meng chuckled.

"It may be a small favor to the Young Master, but for our Putuo Holy Land, it is a great debt of gratitude," Master Mieling said with a hint of apology. "When I heard that the Young Master had detained our Sect Saintess, I mistakenly thought the Young Master was an unforgivable villain. Please forgive me for the misunderstanding."

"Not at all, not at all!"

Cao Meng laughed heartily, deliberately glancing at the great beauty Fenghua.

Xu Fenghua, however, was gritting her teeth in hatred.

This was truly infuriating.

Master Mieling was very upright. Seeing Xu Fenghua giving Cao Meng a cold shoulder, she immediately became displeased: "Fenghua, this is wrong of you. Young Master Cao helped you with the Awakening of your Sacred Body, a favor as heavy as a mountain. How can you treat him with such hostility? Hurry and thank Young Master Cao."

Xu Fenghua: "I..."

"Revered Mistress, please don't trouble the Saintess Your Highness. The Yanbei Royal Residence was destroyed, so she sees me as an enemy. I killed that demonic brat Xu Tian twice, so she hates me so much she wishes she could eat my flesh and drink my blood..." Cao Meng said, shaking his head with an expression of grievance and helplessness.

Hearing this, Master Mieling grew even more indignant: "The Yanbei Royal Residence was destroyed by Xuanyuan Baizhi, what does that have to do with the Young Master? As for Xu Tian, he colluded with a Devil Head and deserved death anyway. Saintess, it was wrong of you to try and stop it, so why are you still..."

"Waaah~"

Xu Fenghua cried, feeling extremely wronged.

Even her own people were starting to help the villain.

Cao Meng, on the other hand, was so touched he almost cried.

Revered Mistress, you are too righteous. Could you give me a dozen Revered Mistresses like this?

"Right, speaking of Devil Heads, what is the story with this Yin Demon?" Master Mieling said, her attention suddenly shifting to Yan Yumo.

If Fairy Xue Yue hadn't used the demon subduing mirror to test her just now, confirming that Yan Yumo was filled with pure spiritual Qi and lacked any demonic Qi, this extremely fiery Revered Mistress would have already made a move!

"Revered Mistress, Yu Mo is actually a victim too. The story goes like this..." Cao Meng chuckled and recounted the general flow of events to Master Mieling, hitting the key points and omitting the unnecessary details.

Master Mieling nodded repeatedly... "Thief Cao, you are shameless..."
