91: He accompanied the Holy Maiden and even gave her a dowry. The Holy Spirit gave birth to a tiny gourd, looking incredibly weak.

"Young Master Cao is being too polite. If you have something to say, please do so without hesitation!"

At this moment, Master Mieling found Cao Meng increasingly agreeable; even the Evil Qi on her face vanished, leaving her expression warm and amiable.

"The matter is like this: the Guardian Sacred Spirit of my White Deer Academy just gave birth to a little gourd..."

Cao Meng shook the immeasurable sword gourd in his hand:

"Because of this, it injured its Origin. Therefore, I ask Your Highness Saintess to stay at the Academy for a few days and use her Divine Healing Body to help treat Senior Holy Spirit!"

"It's a small effort, Your Highness Saintess wouldn't refuse, right?"

After speaking, he looked at the beautiful Fenghua with a grin.

You think you can fight me?

Won't I play you to death?

"Nonsense..."

Xu Fenghua was furious and flustered.

The mouth of this Thief Cao truly was a deceiving devil.

The Guardian Sacred Spirit gave birth to a little gourd... This fellow even fabricated stories about the Guardian Sacred Spirit of the White Deer Academy. He truly was audacious.

"Your Highness Saintess, I know the matter concerning the Yanbei Royal Residence and Xu Tian makes it hard for you to let go right now. I can understand that."

Cao Meng interrupted with a look of "sincerity": "However, the Lord Holy Spirit of my Academy has no grudge against you."

"Moreover, Lord Holy Spirit also said that as compensation, he will give Your Highness Saintess an Opportunity to enter the White Deer Cave."

"You must know, the White Deer Cave is where the ancient sages of the White Deer Holy Land stored treasures and secret collections... Now that Lord Holy Spirit has awakened from slumber and opened the door of convenience for the younger generation, Your Highness Saintess has great Luck; perhaps you will gain a significant Opportunity?"

As soon as Cao Meng said this, Master Mieling's eyes lit up.

She immediately declared decisively:

"Fenghua, this matter is settled!"

"You will stay and help Lord Holy Spirit recover some of its Origin."

Xu Fenghua grew anxious, tears welling up: "Elder, don't believe him..."

"Enough, Fenghua," Master Mieling said impatiently.

"Wasn't your Divine Healing Body awakened with the help of Young Master Cao? Never mind that the White Deer Sacred Spirit is offering you compensation; even if it weren't, shouldn't we still consider this our bounden duty?"

Finishing her words, and without giving Xu Fenghua a chance to argue, she turned to Cao Meng and said:

"Young Master Cao has shown great kindness to my Sect. Putuo Immortal Mountain has no way to repay this. On the fifteenth of next month, it will be the once-in-a-century opening of the Putuo Holy Land Secret Realm. At that time, please honor Sect with your presence, Young Master, and explore the Secret Realm alongside my Putuo Disciples!"

"Ah, this... isn't that inappropriate?"

Cao Meng was overjoyed internally, but on the surface, he looked like he was reluctantly accepting the generous offer.

What a deal this was.

It was equivalent to getting the Saintess and a dowry to boot.

Oh, the poor Your Highness Saintess.

"What's inappropriate about it?"

Elder Mieling waved her hand grandly and said heroically:

"Young Master Cao, you are simply too humble."

"Now that demons have descended and the world is in great peril, it is time for young heroes like Young Master Cao to step up. If our Putuo Secret Realm can provide some assistance to you young heroes, it would be the honor of the Putuo Holy Land."

Cao Meng nodded slightly: "In that case, I shall reluctantly accept."

'Shameless!'

Watching her own Elder's face filled with approval and even flattery.

Your Highness Saintess was so angry she couldn't speak.

How could there be such a wicked and shameless Thief Cao in the world?

May the heavens open their eyes and take away this Prodigy.

"Very well, then this poor nun will await your honored presence at the Putuo Holy Land." Elder Mieling bowed slightly, then did not forget to say to Xu Fenghua:

"Fenghua, you should stay by Young Master Cao's side during this time and learn properly..."

After speaking, she left the grief-stricken and helpless Xu Fenghua behind and drifted away.

Cao Meng said with genuine admiration: "Revered Mistress, she truly is a good Revered Mistress."

Fairy Xue Yue, standing nearby, also nodded slightly: "Indeed, Master Mieling is upright and honest, truly a model for Disciples of the Righteous Path like us."

The two inadvertently chimed in with each other, making Xu Fenghua feel as if she had been struck hard, and she even developed a trace of resentment toward Fairy Xue Yue.

Fairy Xue Yue noticed nothing and said with a smile: "Junior Sister Fenghua, I also have an impolite request. Our Sect..."

Before she could finish, Xu Fenghua retorted rudely and sarcastically:

"Junior Sister? Are we close?"

Fairy Xue Yue: "Uh, Fenghua... Your Highness Saintess, I..."

Xu Fenghua: "Shut up, I don't want to talk to you."

"Alright," Fairy Xue Yue was rebuffed, giving an awkward smile. She then bowed slightly to Cao Meng and took her leave.

"Thief Cao, use whatever dirty tricks you have left!"

Xu Fenghua lifted her head with a determined expression, staring intently at Cao Meng.

She looked ready to face death.

"Your Highness Saintess, are you presenting yourself like this because you want me to do something to you?" Cao Meng teased, leaning closer.

"Hmph!"

Xu Fenghua kept her head held high, neither dodging nor avoiding.

"Shameless Little Thief, come on then. This Young Miss will just pretend she was bitten by a dog."

Cao Meng curled his lip: "Tch, you talk a good game, but actually, don't you just want to..."

With that one sentence, Your Highness Saintess immediately lost her composure.

"Thief Cao, go to hell!"

"Ah~"

This time, Your Highness Saintess was truly insane and irrational. She grabbed Cao Meng's left arm and bit down hard.

It was a bite condensed with monstrous hatred.

"Hiss~"

"What the—are you a dog?" Cao Meng was speechless.

He looked down and saw traces of sacred spirit blood seeping out.

"Eh, wait a minute~"

Xu Fenghua was stunned. Didn't this guy have an indestructible golden body?

Previously, when she used a spirit sword to strike him, she couldn't even cut off a single hair. How did a bite manage to break his defense?

"Thief Cao, aren't you supposed to be hard?"

Cao Meng chuckled, "If I was hard, I'd break your teeth, so I softened it."

"You..."

Xu Fenghua was instantly dumbfounded.

Was this Thief Cao pitying her?

But the thought flashed away immediately, followed by: "Thief Cao, give up that idea. As long as this girl is alive, I will take your dog head one day."

Cao Meng laughed heartily: "Then you'll have to work hard. Killing me won't be easy, but if you're willing to work hard in other areas, perhaps there really is a slight chance you could kill me, haha~"

"Pfft, shameless!"

"Thank you for the compliment!" Thief Cao smiled.

Xu Fenghua was so angry her teeth itched: "The White Deer Sacred Spirit must be blind to choose you as the White Deer Holy Master!"

"Little Girl, who did you say was blind?"

Just then, a hoarse voice rang out.

Following this, a black shadow, entirely shrouded in a black robe and whose gender was indistinguishable, strangely appeared in the reception hall.

Talk about speaking of Cao Cao and Cao Cao arriving!

It was as if her mouth had been blessed by a mysterious power.

"Holy Spirit... Hmph, what about it?" Xu Fenghua, suppressing her anger, straightened her neck and vowed not to back down.

"Little Girl, quite the personality." The Black-Robed Holy Spirit was not angry, but instead turned its gaze toward Cao Meng:

"Boy, how did you know my Origin was damaged?"

Cao Meng said cheerfully:

"If I said I was just making it up, Lord Holy Spirit, would you believe me?"

"You really are..." The Black-Robed Holy Spirit shook its head, rendered speechless:

"The Little Girl was right, you truly are a scourge~"
