Xue Yufei spoke as she slowly walked towards Jiang Li.
Her soft, delicate body exuded a captivating aura, the overwhelming floral scent filling the space around Jiang Li.
Her fiery red long dress added to Xue Yufei's already bright and stunning demeanor.
Her voluptuous figure and charming presence made Xue Yufei appear incredibly alluring.
"Team up?" Jiang Li furrowed his brows slightly, slowly turning his head to look at the captivating woman before him.
Why was it about teaming up again?
"I almost forgot, Junior Brother Jiang Li has been in seclusion these past few days and doesn't know about the matter of Heavenly Star Sea!" Xue Yufei continued softly, her body seeming to lean almost against Jiang Li.
What did this woman want?
Even though her favorability towards him was already in the negative, she was still getting so close to him.
Jiang Li subtly took a small step back, yet the distance between them remained quite close.
Following this, Xue Yufei continued to whisper in Jiang Li's ear, explaining the details of the Heavenly Star Sea.
It turned out that a deposit of Sacred Crystal ore had been discovered within the mining veins of the Heavenly Star Sea.
The higher-ups of the Prime Demon Sect had decided to send many of their Heavenly Talents to compete for a share of this Sacred Crystal ore.
One could venture alone, or they could form teams.
If one made outstanding contributions in the competition for the Sacred Crystal ore, the sect would bestow valuable rewards, even divine-grade elixirs and divine weapons, not to mention various treasures.
Xue Yufei spoke softly into Jiang Li's ear, her eyes filled with tender affection as she gazed at him.
Seeing them conversing intimately.
The other disciples around were all stunned; they had never witnessed such a scene.
When had Xue Yufei ever been this close to anyone? Her body was almost pressed against them.
This was truly an unprecedented event for You Mo Peak.
"Hiss... Am I hallucinating? Saintess Xue is actually this intimate with Saint Son Jiang..."
"I heard that the Heavenly Poison Woman also decided to follow Saint Son Jiang the moment she first saw him..."
"Could it be that Saint Son Jiang's charm is truly that powerful..."
"You haven't seen it? Saint Son Jiang's looks are unparalleled, alright..."
"Can being handsome really allow you to do whatever you want? Two goddesses are like this, it's so unfair..."
"Right, right, right, if it were you, it would be fair, right? I understand that..."
...
...
The surrounding disciples murmured amongst themselves, casting envious glances at Jiang Li.
Many female disciples also looked enviously at Xue Yufei.
After all, Jiang Li possessed exceptional looks, talent, and strength. Being so close to him...
In the eyes of these female disciples, Saintess Xue was clearly taking advantage of Saint Son Jiang.
Jiang Li naturally paid no attention to their gossip.
He simply looked calmly at Xue Yufei. Heavenly Star Sea, Sacred Crystal ore, competing for a share of the Sacred Crystal ore?
Teaming up with this person before him?
If not for her negative favorability, Jiang Li might have considered it.
However, he didn't want to pay too much attention to someone who harbored malice towards him.
If they weren't in the Prime Demon Sect right now, based on her favorability, Jiang Li would have directly suppressed and killed her.
"Saintess Xue, there's no need to team up. You should find someone else. Thank you for the information, Saintess Xue!" Jiang Li took a deep breath and said, completely hiding his inner thoughts.
After speaking, Jiang Li directly left You Mo Peak and sped towards Xing Mo Peak.
He rejected me? Xue Yufei looked at the departing Jiang Li with astonishment, her heart filled with disbelief.
She had assumed that, given her own strength and talent, Jiang Li would be extremely willing to team up with her.
She never expected him to refuse.
Xue Yufei watched Jiang Li disappear into the distance, a cold smile curving her lips.
Following this, she also left the entrance of You Mo Cave with a cold expression.
...
Star Cauldron Peak.
A scenic flower garden.
A rich floral fragrance permeated the surroundings.
In the center of the flower bushes lay a woman wearing a fringed dress, her skin fair and her features delicate and beautiful. Her brows were tightly knitted, appearing deeply troubled.
Beside her, a pure and adorable little girl was playing.
"Lingyue, how is it? Did Cang Mo Peak accept your Thunder Spirit Bamboo?" Mu Qingyu said as she slowly walked over from not far away.
Lin Xue'er stopped playing upon seeing Mu Qingyu and pounced into her embrace.
"Sister Mu, I'm hungry! o(╯□╰)o..." Lin Xue'er blinked her pure, large eyes and said softly.
Mu Qingyu gently stroked Lin Xue'er's hair, then took out a ten-thousand-year-old spiritual medicine and handed it to her.
After receiving the spiritual medicine, Lin Xue'er began to eat it happily.
"Qingyu, you were right. The people from Cang Mo Peak refused to accept that Thunder Spirit Bamboo no matter what!" Chen Lingyue sighed.
As she spoke, she gently opened her right hand, and a green bamboo flashing with endless lightning appeared in her palm.
Chen Lingyue had gone to great lengths to obtain the Thunder Spirit Bamboo from Li Quan, intending to return it to Cang Mo Peak.
However, to her surprise, the people of Cang Mo Peak acted as if they had seen a ghost upon seeing her.
They absolutely refused to accept the Thunder Spirit Bamboo, and even threatened to die rather than take it.
Chen Lingyue had no choice but to return.
"Qingyu, is it really that difficult to change this order? I just want everyone to cultivate peacefully, without so much conflict!" Chen Lingyue slowly raised her head and looked at Mu Qingyu beside her.
"This is simply impossible, Lingyue. Your idea is fundamentally flawed..."
"Perhaps in Tianyuan City, with your father's support behind you, Tianyuan City could maintain a fragile order..."
"On Xing Mo Peak, due to the deterrence of the Saint Son's status, your actions might have some effect, but it's all like a mirage, easily shattered..."
"If you truly desire a world of order and peace, perhaps, you would have to oppose the entire world..."
Mu Qingyu spoke indifferently, without even lifting her eyelids, as she folded a nearby flower.
Upon hearing Mu Qingyu's words, Chen Lingyue fell silent.
Oppose the entire world?
Chen Lingyue slowly clenched her fists, her eyes filled with a sense of loss.
Back in Tianyuan City, she had felt capable of changing the world.
Now, that idea seemed so laughable.
Mu Qingyu saw the disappointment in Chen Lingyue's eyes but felt no flicker of emotion.
Someone like her, who had lived a life of ease since childhood, never experiencing any hardship, and protected by top-tier experts, how could she possibly understand this world?
However, only someone like that would hold such naive ideas.
