The eldest sister just wanted to give up, while the spirit swords vied to recognize her as their mas

Chapter 122 That's a different price

Of course, it's Jiaoyu.

The only one who could make this half-step ascendant change his tune was, of course, the dragon race, the former overlord of all things, possessing the supreme bloodline.

Thinking of the scene where the other party was so shocked that their facial features were in disarray, Yun Fuzhao felt a surge of secret pleasure.

Of course, for her own safety, Yun Fuzhao made him swear an oath as soon as he entered that he would not lay a hand on her or reveal anything about the Dragon Clan.

Yun Fuzhao even bargained and managed to extract many benefits from him, including the gift of spiritual materials from Qingqiu.

When she came in, there were rare spiritual materials everywhere. She had heard Qi Huai say before that the spiritual materials in Qingqiu were different from those in the cultivation world. The spiritual materials here were purer, and the pills made from them were free of impurities.

Even rare and precious spiritual materials, which are priceless in the cultivation world, are no different from weeds here.

"Since you're here, let Qi Huai show you around," Qi Teng said. "Don't hesitate to ask if you need anything."

His attitude changed completely, leaving the foxes stunned.

Yu Ling moved closer to Qi Teng and whispered, "What did that girl show you?"

Qi Teng shook his head. "I can't say. Just know that being on good terms with her is entirely beneficial."

After saying that, he looked at Yun Fuzhao and said, "I have already arranged accommodations for you. Stay here for a few days."

"Thank you, Fox King. I wish us a pleasant cooperation."

"Pleasant to work with."

Once outside the main hall, Qi Huai asked curiously, "What did you do to make that old fogey speak so kindly to you?"

"secret."

"You're keeping this a secret from me too?"

Yun Fuzhao stopped in her tracks, thinking about his previous attitude, "Why did you say we should get married? It almost killed me there."

"You won't die." Qi Huai stared at her, his golden eyes swirling with emotions. He had a thousand words to say, but the person reflected in his eyes had no other feelings for him.

After a long pause, he said in a seemingly casual tone, "My parents have been pressuring me to get married. I'm so annoyed that I have no choice but to use you as a shield."

"No wonder, this was the reason you left Qingqiu before?"

"Ah."

Yun Fuzhao clicked his tongue in surprise, not expecting that the practice of pressuring someone to get married was also prevalent in the demon realm. "Now that you've pulled this stunt, your parents shouldn't pressure you anymore, right?"

“It’s hard to say,” Qi Huai said with a troubled expression. “If you had just cooperated with me, this matter would have been over. But if you speak out in public, they will most likely start looking for a wife for me again.”

Yun Fuzhao coughed, "Who told you not to give me prior notice?"

Qi Huai chuckled, "It's not too late now. There are still quite a few people in Qingqiu who have their eyes on me." He bent down and moved closer to Yun Fuzhao, "You should act a little more intimate with me and put an end to their thoughts."

"...That's a different price."

Qi Huai laughed out loud, "Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. Let's go, I'll show you around."

"On my way here, I saw a lot of Celestial Essence here, in large swaths. Did you cultivate them specifically?"

"Wild."

Qi Huai scoffed, "It's not just the Heavenly Name Essence, there's also the 120-year-old He Shou Wu, the Tian Shan Snow Lotus, and the Dragon Saliva Grass..."

"Stop, stop," Yun Fuzhao said, tears of envy streaming down her face. "I know you used to be so dismissive of spiritual materials when you were in our sect."

“Yes,” Qi Huai said, “that was the worst spiritual material I’ve ever used.”

But even the worst one you mentioned is a sixth-rank official!

Yun Fuzhao looked at the spiritual materials scattered all over the ground, which were beyond measure in terms of spirit stones, and decided to keep quiet.

"Your father promised to give me spiritual materials. I can't even imagine how crazy those alchemists would go if I just took one back from here."

Qi Huai chuckled.

As if remembering something, Yun Fuzhao said to him, "Your father said he will be undergoing tribulation tomorrow."

Qi Teng should have ascended to immortality long ago, but he suppressed his cultivation because he was worried about Qingqiu.

"I know."

The two walked up a small hill, from where they could see the little foxes playing below.

Qi Huai stared at them, somewhat troubled, and said, "Once he leaves, it will be my turn to sit in the position of Fox King."

“...I’ll fight you who have a claim to the throne.”

Yun Fuzhao came from an ordinary family and used to envy those rich kids who inherited their family fortunes after graduation. But she never expected that in the world of cultivation, she would still come from an ordinary family and be the one who envied others.

Who knows the hardships involved?

“Once he transcends his tribulation, the entire demon realm will know. After he ascends, I imagine Eclipse will become restless.” Qi Huai looked at Yun Fuzhao, “At that time, you will return to the Boundless Sword Sect.”

“No.” Yun Fuzhao refused without even thinking. “I promised your father that I would help him protect Qingqiu.”

Qi Huai felt he still needed to remind her, "The eclipse is not as simple as you think."

"I know, don't worry, with the two of us working together, we can easily take down the little wolf clan."

With a hint of amusement in his golden eyes, Qi Huai held out his tail to her. "Want to pet it?"

Yun Fuzhao was almost bewitched, but remembering that this was Qingqiu, she quickly shook her head, "No, no, it would be even more difficult to explain if someone saw us."

Qi Huai: "It's been a long time since we could explain it clearly. Everyone in Qingqiu knows that our relationship is ambiguous."

"..."

*

That evening, Yun Fuzhao was bored and decided to go out to look at the precious spiritual materials. As soon as she stood up, she keenly sensed the commotion outside.

There are people outside.

Yun Fuzhao took out Wuji and listened warily to the sounds around him.

After the Fox King said those words, no one in Qingqiu should dare to lay a hand on her now.

The night was quiet, with the chirping of insects coming from outside.

It was like the calm before the storm.

"Zi-"

Something had been exposed. Yun Fuzhao sensed something unusual and immediately covered her mouth and nose.

She wanted to see just who was so audacious.

Yun Fuzhao pushed open the door and rushed out, but as soon as she stepped out the threshold, she disappeared from the spot.

A shadow emerged from the shadows.

Only after confirming her disappearance did he step forward and wipe away the traces of the array on the ground. Having done so, the figure slowly faded back into the darkness.

Yun Fuzhao stared in silence at the enormous wolf clan member baring its teeth at her.

Oh no, it can't be that I've been teleported to the wolf's territory...

The only saving grace right now is that this wolf is not of high rank.

Yun Fuzhao dealt with her in no time.

After thinking it over, Yun Fuzhao decided to imitate her appearance. If she really came to the wolf clan's territory, her human identity wouldn't even be enough to warrant a death sentence.

Qi Huai said that the wolf clan hates the human race the most.

However, there are few races in the demon realm that don't dislike humans, so it doesn't matter.

Yun Fuzhao simulated the appearance of the wolf clan.

Although she only learned a little bit from Que Chi, she could still do simple simulations.

To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, Yun Fuzhao also purchased the wolf clan's memories from the system shop. It cost her a lot of points, and she was heartbroken.

Don't let her find out who did this, or she'll make the Bloodthirsty Vine whip the person's ass until it's bruised and battered!

Yun Fuzhao disposed of the wolf's corpse and headed north out of the forest. Just as he stepped out of the forest, he heard a sound.

"Yoya, what are you dawdling for? If you delay any longer, the King might chop off your head!"
