I sell demon meat in the city

Chapter 246 Back

Lu Xiaowu pursed his lips, as if he didn't care.

Turning her head, she saw the little girl with her head hanging low, looking troubled. Curious, she asked, "Xiao Qi, what's wrong?"

Xiao Qi asked with a bitter face, "Senior brother, do we really have to wait two years for that secret realm on Lingfeng Island?"

Two years? She's going to stay here for another two years?
An Ruchen laughed gleefully, "Ha, so you think you can just walk away now? First of all, some of the strange and unusual things used to repair the membrane can only be found in secret realms, such as the tail feathers of phoenixes over a thousand years old. Apart from the phoenixes on Lingfeng Island, there are no other places with them. Secondly, weren't you looking for the teleportation array that Lin Yan came from? Of course, it might not be a teleportation array, but whatever it is, you should at least figure out how you got here from your side, right?"

Looking at An Ruchen's expression, Xiao Qi was speechless. "Uncle-Master, are you reluctant to let me go?"

An Ruchen's expression immediately changed. "How could that be? You two troublemakers should leave as soon as possible. I don't want to see you all the time."

Duplicity.

Lu Xiaowu thought for a while and said to Xiao Qi, "Why don't you go back first and I'll find the things. Before the secret realm opens, I will try my best to gather all the other things I can find. As for the final step of refining, I'm afraid Master will have to help."

Actually, many things are not necessarily found. Whether Xiao Qi is there or not, the outcome will not change. Having another person will only add to the suffering, so he thinks it is enough for him to stay and search alone.

If they couldn't find it and the membrane couldn't be repaired, then he would go and guard Mount Sanqing with her and his master.

"Why would she leave? She just broke through to the Nascent Soul stage. There's spiritual energy here, and two years is just the right time for her to consolidate her cultivation. Actually, two years isn't even enough. Normally, she should go into seclusion for at least seven or eight years."

"Senior brother, I'll listen to you. I'll go back first."

Xiao Qi originally didn't intend to leave Fifth Senior Brother to search for the item alone. After all, he had killed the Little Demon King. Although the Demon King and Demon Queen had outwardly compromised, who knew if they would secretly plot against him?
At least she had someone to help her when she was with him.

But her master actually wanted her to go into seclusion for seven or eight years.

That's too terrifying, she won't do it.

She said to An Ruchen, "Uncle-Master, I'm practically invincible here now, there's no need for me to go through the arduous process of seclusion. You see, even a Nascent Soul cultivator can't do anything to me, and I can defeat anyone below the Core Formation stage."

"Who can you beat?"

Before she could finish speaking, An Ruchen said irritably, "You've just broken through and you're already getting cocky, aren't you? You think you can beat anyone below the Nascent Soul stage? Do you know how many Nascent Soul cultivators in the cultivation world have stayed at that level for how many years? And how many Nascent Soul cultivators are waiting to break through to the Divine Transformation stage? Not to mention others, just look at the person next to you, do you think you can beat your senior brother?"

Xiao Qi turned to Lu Xiaowu and asked, "Senior brother, can I beat you?"

“I can beat him.” Lu Xiaowu blurted out without blinking, then added, “Don’t point the gun at me, put it away.”

"Okay." Xiao Qi obediently put the pistol back into her storage ring.

An Ruchen was so angry that her face almost turned green. She waved her hand and threw the two of them out of the room.

A month later, Lu Xiaowu and Xiao Qi visited the Sanqing Palace again.

He decided to let Xiao Qi go back first. The little girl couldn't possibly go into seclusion, and consolidating her cultivation wasn't urgent. Of course, the main reason was that she missed home. Seeing the occasional lonely expression on her face, he felt a little sorry for her.

In addition, he personally made a funeral shroud for Su Changhe, so that if he couldn't make it, Xiao Qi could take his place to see Uncle Changhe off. After all, he only had six months left to live.

"Fifth Senior Brother, why don't you come back with me? We..."

Xiao Qi stood alone in the middle of the teleportation array, watching her senior brother bend down and put high-grade spirit stones into the slots. For some reason, she always felt that his figure seemed lonely and desolate.

She really wanted to suggest that she stay put, or that he come with her and they could go to the Grand Canyon together, maybe then they could find a way back.

Before she could finish speaking, she reached out to grab her senior brother's arm but couldn't reach him. Just then, the teleportation array suddenly started spinning. In that instant, her vision went from light to darkness, then soon back to light. Then she felt dizzy, her body plummeted, and she crashed into something with a thud, wincing in pain.

".elder sister?"

"Sister's back! Sister's back!"

Before Xiao Qi could adjust to the light, a series of familiar calls suddenly rang in her ears.

She blinked, then blinked again, and then saw more and more familiar figures in front of her. First, Xiaolong jumped up and pounced in front of her, then her master and Uncle Changhe, then her father, and then she was embraced in a warm hug.

She looked up at the person holding her and smiled, "Mommy."

"Ah."

Meng Shulan gave a thick, nasal reply, then hugged her tightly, her slightly red eyes struggling to hold back tears. After a while, she loosened her grip slightly and leaned down to kiss her forehead.

Then, taking a deep breath to calm himself down, he reached out his index finger and tapped Xiaoqi's nose, "You little rascal, did you miss your mom?"

"Of course I miss you. If it weren't for the fact that I miss you, why would my fifth senior brother have sent me back first and left me there by himself?"

Only then did everyone realize that only Xiao Qi had returned.

Although Yu Qingge initially intended for Xiao Wu to return and never come back, after Su Changhe and the other two arrived and Xiao Wu avenged his great grudge, Yu Qingge knew that he would no longer stay in the cultivation world.

Of course, the main reason is the variable of Xiao Qi. Su Changhe originally wanted to do another divination for Xiao Wu, but Yu Qingge stopped him.

Having survived a life-or-death situation, even if the road ahead isn't smooth, he's unlikely to encounter any major problems.

Therefore, divination is unnecessary.

Although this level of divination would not cause a backlash, Yu Qingge still took his tortoise shell.

"Your senior brother brought you back first, which means he'll come over later?"

Xiao Qi nodded. Surrounded by everyone, who were all so excited to see her, she felt it was inappropriate to go into detail about the plan to repair the membrane.

No rush, we'll talk about it later.

We can send out the souvenirs first.

“Master, this is for you, my uncle. He was unhappy that he couldn’t come. Uncle Zhang, this jar of wine is for you, and this spearhead was made by my fourth senior brother. Do you think it suits your spear?”

Yu Qingge accepted the storage bag without much expression, but Zhang Jinwu was grinning from ear to ear. He was not only satisfied with the spearhead, but even more satisfied with the wine. He could smell the rich aroma of the wine as soon as Xiao Qi took it out without even opening it.

"Don't stand here, it's cold. Let's go inside and talk."

It's strangely cold?
Xiao Qi then noticed that Mount Sanqing was covered with a thin layer of white snow.

She looked bewildered. She had been busy ever since, and the cultivation world was like spring all year round, so she had no sense of the passage of time.

Is winter almost over here now?
