Initially, Huang Ying had jumped in fright when Qianbei Ye had suddenly appeared. However, based on her temperament, she soon regained her usual composure!
“Take your things and leave!”
Qianbei Ye had not spared Huang Ying a single glance from the beginning. It was as if looking at her would be an insult to his eyes.
Huang Ying’s chest rose up and down but, in the end, she stepped forward to pick up her dagger and slowly walked out the door.
Wham!
Just as Huang Ying left the room, Qianbei Ye waved his hand and slammed the bedroom door shut. He then turned his gaze towards Gu Ruoyun. His eyes no longer carried his previously vicious and bloodthirsty air but were instead enveloped with a gentle light.
“Yun’er, did that woman frighten you?”
Gu Ruoyun shook her head and replied in exasperation, “She’s not even scary, how could she frighten me?”
“Really?” Qianbei Ye stepped forward and pulled Gu Ruoyun into his arms. “I was afraid that she was too ugly and would scare you.”
Huang Ying, who was as beautiful as a fairy to everyone else in the Underworld, had been reduced to an ugly person who has such a horrifying face that one would die from shock! Would Huang Ying still be able to retain her calm demeanor after hearing this?
“If I had not decided to gift the Underworld to you, I would really have had her killed!” Qianbei Ye furrowed his brows, clearly reaching the end of his patience with Huang Ying. “However, since I’m going to give the Underworld to you, everyone in the Underworld belongs to you so only you would have the right to punish them.”
Qianbei Ye had said this with such ease, as if killing someone was easier than drinking water to him.
“By the way,” Gu Ruoyun seemed to have remembered something. “Did you manage to ask about the location of the Blood Drop Fruit when you had visited those old fellows?”
Qianbei Ye fell silent before he spoke, “Those old fellows have hidden the Blood Drop Fruit in the Restricted Area. Furthermore, I have one more thing to discuss with you. The old fellows are at the end of their lifespan, I want to ask for a few Longevity Pills to extend their lives.”
“Alright,” Gu Ruoyun gently nodded. “Even though the Longevity Pill can’t make them immortal, at least it can grant them several more years! Help me to prepare the medicinal herbs. I will refine the Longevity Pills for them in a moment.”
As the Longevity Pill was not of much use to Gu Ruoyun, she does not have this pill on hand so she has to refine them from scratch.
Hearing this, Qianbei Ye shook his head. “Those old fellows will still be able to keep going for around another eight years. Let’s search for the Blood Drop Fruit first. Once we find the Blood Drop Fruit, we’ll go give those old fellows the Longevity Pills!”
“That’s fine too.”
Gu Ruoyun fell silent before she asked, “When will we look for the Blood Drop Fruit?”
“Right now!”
A light flickered through Qianbei Ye’s eyes. “Yun’er, I won’t accompany you in the search for the Blood Drop Fruit this time. You will go into the Restricted Area alone. You won’t be in much danger With this little spiritual beast in your arms. Your cultivation can also increase by leaps and bounds in the Restricted Area. However, you only have three months’ time. Only one person is allowed to enter the Restricted Area at any time and each person can only stay for the duration of three months! I will escort you out after three months so you must find the Blood Drop Fruit by then. If you fail this time, you must wait half a year to unlock the Restricted Area again.”
Gu Ruoyun’s eyes slowly grew solemn. She knows that this was the only chance she has to save her older brother.
She has to find the Blood Drop Fruit no matter what.
“I understand. Xiao Ye, I will make my way to the Restricted Area now.”
