Dual cultivation makes you stronger, everyone else is a prodigy, and I'm the only one slacking

Yu Luoning then realized that there was a great figure from the Divine Realm standing there.

She quickly looked up at Yue Qi with a friendly smile, "My Lord, is there anything else you need?"

Yue Qi did not answer, but looked down at him with a cold gaze.

Do you still remember Xing'er?

Yu Luoning froze for a moment, and almost broke out in a cold sweat. "I...I remember."

For some reason, she always felt that Yue Qi was angry, and there seemed to be several words written in his eyes.

You heartless, despicable woman.

That's right. In front of the other party's brother, his current image is that of a fickle, heartless, and ultimately abandoned young man.

"My Lord, I am well aware of my own status. There is a world of difference between Xing'er and me, so I dare not have any improper thoughts about him. Therefore, please rest assured that I will definitely not disturb him. In time, he will naturally forget me."

Upon hearing this, Yue Qi did not move, but nodded slightly after a moment.

Shi Shangxu and Feng Qiguang exchanged a solemn look.

They knew that Yu Luoning had two more Dao Pattern Stones. One was definitely for Cui Xiu, and the other, which was engraved with stars, was probably reserved for this star girl from the Divine Realm.

Shi Shangxu lowered his eyes, his gentle gaze lost in thought. Feng Qiguang slumped his shoulders, looking utterly dejected.

He secretly calculated in his heart that among the men he knew Ningning had, only the loser and this honest man were from the same social class as him.

All three belonged to the Sichuan region, and although they were all chosen ones, their status was not significantly different. However, Cui Xiu was someone who could easily crush them.

This Xing'er is probably of a higher level than Cui Xiu, and her background is even more terrifying, as she actually comes from the Divine Realm.

It's fair to say that if Xing'er hadn't been opposed by his family, he would definitely have become Ningning's man.

If the other person is the type who can't tolerate any flaws or rivals.

With just a flick of his finger, he could make them all die without a burial place; only Cui Xiu could stand against him.

A strong sense of crisis descended upon us.

Feng Qiguang clenched his fists under his sleeves, vowing to improve his cultivation as soon as possible, otherwise he would fall behind and no longer have the right to stand beside Ningning.

Just then, Yue Qi threw a jade box into the air, and the jade box slowly flew to Yu Luoning's front.

Yue Qi: "This is what Xing'er asked me to give you."

Cui Xiu crossed her arms and said lazily, "Hurry up and accept it. Then write back to that boy from the conch shell thousands of miles away. He misses you terribly and wishes he could tear down the Star-Picking Palace."

Yu Luoning: "..."

Help! Choi Soo is really brave!

How dare he make such sarcastic and mocking remarks about someone's younger brother in front of the divine enforcers? Does he have a death wish?

"Um... Lord, please don't mind him. Cui Xiu is always straightforward and very polite. He was just afraid I would forget to thank Xing'er..." Yu Luoning explained, forcing a smile.

Yu Luoning didn't know which of her words pleased the god opposite her, but she vaguely heard the aloof god chuckle.

Yue Qi said calmly, "That would be best."

Seeing that Yue Qi wasn't angry, Yu Luoning tugged at Cui Xiu's sleeve and secretly gave him a wink.

But Cui Xiu seemed not to see it. He stepped forward, took the jade box without any sense of boundaries, and poured out all the contents.

Treasures tumbled to the ground with a clatter, a dazzling array that was truly breathtaking.

As Cui Xiu examined it, he commented, "Oh my, look at this! Isn't this the Golden Silk Soft Hedgehog Armor? This is a defensive treasure that's rare even in the Divine Realm! You're willing to give away something so powerful? Is it possible that Your Highness's private treasury has been betrayed by your own brother, a traitor within your own family?"

Yu Luoning's eyes twitched as she listened, and after a moment's thought, she looked at Yue Qi in shock.

Could it be that Xing Qi took these treasures from his brother's treasure vault again?

No wonder she felt that Yue Qi's gaze was filled with murderous intent.

Anyone would be furious if they had a younger brother who always sided with outsiders.

To prevent Cui Xiu from stirring things up again, Yu Luoning hurriedly took off the starry sky jade bracelet from her wrist and piled it, along with the dazzling pile of treasures, back into the jade box.

Meeting Yue Qi's gaze, Yu Luoning took a deep breath. "Immortal Lord, these things are too precious. Please take them back and return them to Xing'er. Also, the Starry Sky Jade Bracelet—I've hardly touched the resources inside. I consider Xing'er a friend, but it's hard to accept such generous gifts from a friend."

Yue Qi's gaze sharpened slightly. "What? You don't like it?"

Yu Luoning shook her head: "No one dislikes treasures. But I consider Xing Qi my friend, and it's better for friendships to remain purely platonic."

Yue Qi looked at her, his gaze deep and serious. After a moment, he said, "Since it was given to you by him, it is yours. Keep it."

Seeing that Yu Luoning was still trying to refuse, Cui Xiu stepped forward and made the decision for her.

Not only did they put the Starry Sky Jade Bracelet back on her wrist, but they also stuffed the box of treasures into the bracelet's storage space.

Cui Xiu glanced sideways at Yu Luoning and said irritably, "What's in your head, you little brat? You have so many treasures to offer, why do you have to be so stubborn and engage in these empty formalities?"

"When you were almost beaten to death before, why weren't you this polite? What's yours is yours, take it."

Yu Luoning: "But..."

Cui Xiu snorted coldly, "Ignore him, he's probably secretly enjoying it."

Yu Luoning: "..."

Please shut up! She still wants to live to see this day next year.

Seeing Yue Qi's face gradually darken, Yu Luoning was afraid that Cui Xiu would anger him, so she quickly changed the subject.

"By the way, the treasures the Wen family gave us when they apologized earlier haven't been claimed by any owner yet."

Then Yu Luoning took out the ancient pottery and jade figurine that the Wen family had given her.

The jade puppet was about the size of a palm, exquisitely carved, and had a touch of naivety in its features.

"Patriarch Wen said this thing can nourish the soul. It just so happens that my soul has been quite depleted these past few days in order to retrieve the inheritance jade slip. Why don't we try the blood oath now?"

Cui Xiu had previously investigated and found that there were no restrictions or curses inside the jade puppet artifact.

He didn't stop her. Yu Luoning cut her fingertip and dripped the blood onto the jade puppet's brow.

The next moment, a warm white light shone on the surface of the jade puppet, and a gentle power drifted into the sea of ​​consciousness.

Yu Luoning squinted her eyes comfortably; this was truly a wonderful thing.

At this moment, Yue Qi suddenly looked at Cui Xiu and said, "Come with me."

Choi Soo raised an eyebrow. "Oh, so you have something to whisper to me?"

Yue Qi ignored Cui Xiu's obnoxious behavior.

With a casual wave of his hand, a beam of silver moonlight rose from beneath their feet, transforming into a barrier that isolated their divine senses, enveloping their figures within it.
