I sell demon meat in the city

Chapter 224 Thanks
Why not let Xiaoqi go back?

First, we haven't figured out the teleportation array of the Sanqing Palace yet. Second, we need to investigate the secret realm that Lin Yan came from. In short, we need to find out all the passages that lead to the modern world, whether it's the cultivation world or the demon world, or there will be endless troubles later.

The last reason is that Xiao Qi's cultivation speed will be faster if she stays here. Lu Xiaowu plans to take advantage of the investigation time to let her continue to consolidate her cultivation and cultivate steadily.

After giving instructions to Lin Yan and seeing him off on Xiao Qi's flying boat, they returned to the courtyard and found that a guest had arrived.

"Senior Brother Lu."

Zhu Li and Zhu Song stood up and bowed to him respectfully.

"sit down."

After Lu Xiaowu finished speaking, he sat down next to Xiao Qi and looked at Zhu Li, asking, "Is your injury better?"

Last night, Zhu Li was not only seriously injured, but she also had traces of the drugs she had been given on her body.

"My ancestor healed my wounds for half the night, and I am now much better."

Zhu Li smiled faintly as she spoke. She was an extremely beautiful woman, and her smile was gentle and pleasing to the eye.

Xiao Qi sincerely praised, "Sister Zhu, you are so beautiful."

Although she was often praised, Zhu Li was still a little embarrassed. "Little Qi is so brave and talented. I really admire you."

"That's true. People like me are rare and uncommon."

Zhu Li:.
"puff!"

Zhu Song couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Are you sure you're praising yourself?"

Zhu Li smiled too. If someone else had said those words, she might have felt a little disgusted. But it was Xiao Qi who made her genuinely find her both adorable and straightforward.

"I came here today specifically to thank Sister Xiaoqi and Senior Brother Lu for saving my life yesterday, but I don't have anything worthwhile to offer right now. However, my ancestor has a cultivation technique related to water spirit roots that I would like to give to Sister Xiaoqi. Would you be interested?"

As Zhu Li spoke, she took out a jade slip and handed it over. Xiao Qi took it and placed it between her eyebrows. Her eyes lit up immediately. "The Water-to-Ice Technique? I've heard my master mention this technique before. She even regretted not having it herself. Haha, now I've got it myself. I must show it off to her when I get back."

Lu Xiaowu warned her, "Be careful you don't get beaten up."

Xiao Qi:
Too disappointing.

"Senior Brother Lu, this is the Nascent Soul Pill that my ancestor gave you."

Lu Xiaowu has already reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage. With his talent, he can break through to the Divine Transformation stage within three years.

However, he waved his hand and said, "I don't need it. It's really not easy to have a Nascent Soul Pill. Let your ancestor keep it. Maybe your grandfather can use it."

Zhu Li's grandfather was the head of the Zhu family and had been at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage for many years. If it weren't for the numerous affairs of the clan, he might have already gone into seclusion to break through to the Divine Transformation stage.

Lu Xiaowu was certain that this Divine Transformation Pill was reserved by the Zhu family patriarch for the Zhu clan chief.

Now that he has avenged his great enemy, he still wants to go to another world to find his master. He has no intention of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, so when he says it's unnecessary, he really means it's unnecessary.

“Junior Sister Li, I killed the lion-tiger demon not to save you, but because my Lu family has a grudge against it, so there’s no need for a thank-you gift. You can tell your ancestor the truth when you get back. Besides, he helped me this time, and if there’s an opportunity in the future, I will definitely have my master pay him a visit.”

It would be most appropriate for his master to repay the debt of gratitude that the Zhu family patriarch had helped him.

Xiao Qi glanced at her fifth senior brother with envy. So this was how they could make such full use of their master's name. It was a pity she couldn't use it in the modern world.

Seeing that Lu Xiaowu was determined not to accept the Divine Transformation Pill, Zhu Li did not insist any further.

Xiao Qi asked, "When are you two leaving?"

The siblings' cultivation levels were late Foundation Establishment and ninth Qi Refining, respectively, neither of them qualified to stay in Jinshan Town, so they should leave as soon as possible.

Zhu Song, not in high spirits, said, "Let's wait another hour. The family has sent someone to pick us up."

Xiao Qi blinked. "They sent someone you don't like?"

Because he had analyzed his sister's situation with Xiao Qi before, there was no need to hide it from her now. "My eldest brother and eldest cousin, my eldest brother is alright. He has always prioritized the family and is diligent in his cultivation. He is currently at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm and is the next candidate for clan leader that my grandfather is grooming. But my eldest cousin, I can guarantee 100% that Zhu An, who betrayed my second sister, was in cahoots with her. But Zhu An was found dead on a small hill this morning. There's no way to prove anything, and we can't get any incriminating evidence against her."

Xiao Qi looked at Zhu Li and asked, "Sister Li, is that your biological sister?"

"We are half-sisters; my mother was my father's second wife. My eldest sister and I never got along, and consequently, she didn't like me, her younger sister."

Zhu Song was indignant. "No matter what, it's a family conflict. How could she collude with the demon race to ruin you? I really didn't expect her to be so vicious. Yet she's so eloquent and persuasive that she made my elder brother trust her completely."

“Your older brother trusts her a lot,” Xiao Qi said, though she was young, she got straight to the point. “If that’s the case, then your older brother is not qualified to be a candidate for the head of the Zhu family.”

Zhu Song was taken aback, then her eyes lit up. "That's right, how come I didn't think of that? When I see my eldest brother, I'll tell him what Little Qi said. Before, because he trusted my eldest cousin, the Zhu family didn't send anyone out to look for my second sister. If I hadn't noticed something was wrong and run into Little Qi on the road, he would definitely have been punished by Grandpa if something had really happened to my second sister. Because he's in charge of all the children of our generation, he should be punished for making a wrong decision. If he still believes my eldest cousin under these circumstances, then he's wasted his brain."

Zhu Song shook off her earlier gloom and stood tall with her head held high, saying to Zhu Li, "Second Sister, don't worry, I will get justice for you this time no matter what."

Zhu Song was full of confidence, but Zhu Li did not have much hope for it.

Putting aside her father's favoritism towards her, her eldest sister's wedding was approaching. How could they explain dealing with her at this juncture to her husband's family?

And then there's her grandfather, the clan chief, who has always doted on her, and she didn't want to put him in a difficult position.

She instructed Zhu Song, "Whether it's fair or not isn't so important now. You must not let this cause any rift between me and my elder brother, understand? Especially now that we're outside, not at the Zhu family home."

As the time was almost up, the two got up and left.

At this moment, Xiao Qi took out two lollipops from her storage ring and handed them over, saying, "These are a return gift for you. They're sweet and delicious."

Looking at the colorful wrapping paper, Zhu Li and Zhu Song asked in surprise, "What's this?"

Xiao Qi peeled off the plastic wrapping and stuffed the food directly into their mouths. "I originally brought quite a few, but my senior uncle and sixth senior brother asked for them every day and took them all. These two are the ones I managed to save. How are they? Delicious, right?"

The two nodded repeatedly, and Zhu Song asked indistinctly, "Little Qi, could you bring me more next time? What do you need in exchange? Spirit stones or magic weapons? Anything I have is fine."

So Xiaoqi used two lollipops to exchange for 100,000 spirit stones and two boxes of Thunderburst Beads from Zhusong.

The spirit stones were a prepayment; he wanted her to buy more for him next time.

But will there be a next time?

See you tomorrow!
