Suzi, you dare to deceive

"Hmph! Su Qi, do you think I, Ji Yu, will believe a word you say after fighting with you? Your deceitfulness is no less than that of an adult. You plan to take the three Soul Melting Ginsengs for yourself and present them to me, Ji Gongzi," Ji Yu sneered with a twisted expression on his handsome face.

Su Qi's eyes flashed, and she quickly concealed her small hand within her sleeve.

Ji Yu anticipated her movement and acted faster.

"Su Qi, don't even think about using the Soul Devouring Bell to control me. I have already prepared for it. The difference in cultivation between us is vast. You are only at the seventh stage of the Golden Xuan Period. You think it's the Sword Monster who will return to me soon, Ben Gongzi," Ji Yu spoke grimly, his sneer fixed on Su Qi.

Su Qi's eyes flickered. It seemed that Ji Yu was aware of the Soul Devouring Bell she possessed.

"Hurry up, or Ben Gongzi's sword won't show mercy," Ji Yu threatened, his sword pressed against Su Qi's heart, the tip inching closer.

A glimmer of determination flashed in Su Qi's eyes as she coldly replied, "Alright! I'll help you retrieve it."

But once I retrieve it, it will be in my possession, Su Qi sneered inwardly as she looked at Ji Yu.

"Firesilver, get closer to the cave," Su Qi instructed, causing Huoyin to tremble and nearly drop her.

Su Qi secretly sent a message to Huoyin, "Huoyin, when I put my hand into the cave, use your tail to knock me down so Ji Yu won't have a chance to harm me."

"Good! But we need to be quick. Firesilver thought about it; after all, they had dealt with the Blood Demon Beast before.

Ji Yu's sword remained pressed against Su Qi's heart, oblivious to the secret communication between Huoyin and Su Qi.

Observing Su Qi reach into the cave to retrieve the Soul Melting Ginseng, a smile spread across Ji Yu's face.

Meanwhile, Huoyin watched as Su Qi's hand entered the cave. When Su Qi's hand reemerged, Huoyin swiftly knocked her body down.

Just at that moment, Ji Yu's face turned to joy, and he quickly extended his hand to seize the Soul Melting Ginseng from Su Qi's hand.

However, despite his speed, he fell short.

"Damn it, Su Qi, how dare you deceive Ben Gongzi!" Ji Yu exclaimed in frustration.

Su Qi was caught by the tail of Firesilver and rolled away. She turned around and made a face at Ji Yu.

The eight men behind Ji Yu began to realize what had happened.

"Ji Gongzi, where is the Soul Melting Ginseng?" the man in white asked anxiously.

"Suzie took it," Ji Yu replied with a cold smile, admonishing in a low voice, "Demon Dragon, chase..."

Ji Yu didn't believe that he couldn't retrieve the Soul Melting Ginseng.

"Go, keep up," the man in white quickly ordered the others.

"Roar..."

Huoyin desperately tried to escape using the Tianchan Spirit Leaf, but reality proved to be harsh. The figure of the Blood Demon Beast cast a shadow, darkening the sky.

"Damn, it actually entered," Huoyin cried out inwardly.

Ji Yu was also taken aback. He had expected a powerful spirit beast to guard the Soul Melting Ginseng, but he hadn't anticipated it would be the Blood Demon Beast, an entity that was usually prey.

"Damn it!" Ji Yu muttered in a low voice. The Blood Demon Beast seemed formidable and blocked his path.

The eight men behind him trembled in fear. If they had considered Su Qi's Firesilver Snake Demon Beast terrifying, the Blood Demon Beast before them was even more intimidating.

"Damn humans, daring to steal this god's Soul Melting Ginseng. You are all dead!" the shadow of the Blood Demon Beast transformed into a colossal lion-like figure, its claws long and sharp, its entire form ethereal.

"Firesilver, evade its attacks. I'll handle it," Su Qi ordered.

"Are you sure you can handle it? This Blood Beast is elusive," Firesilver doubted Su Qi's words.

"Nonsense! Adventurous spirit is my trademark. I am reserved and enigmatic. Can't you see it?" Su Qi replied.

"I didn't see it," Firesilver retorted while dodging the Blood Demon Beast's attacks, protecting Su Qi perfectly.

Ji Yu and the other eight men stood by, watching Su Qi prepare to confront the Blood Demon Beast. They wore expressions of anticipation, enjoying the spectacle, without the slightest intention of stepping in to help.

"It's almost there. Why are you in such a hurry? Weren't you imprisoned for four hundred years? This is your chance to stretch your muscles. Even though you're just a bug, you should display your true colors!" Su Qi busily worked with her small cloth bag.

"Firesilver, fly towards its head."

Su Qi shouted loudly and swiftly raised the Daye God Bow in his hand. Instead of loading an arrow, he attached a silver dagger to the bow. Just as Firesilver flew towards the head of the Blood Demon Beast, Su Qi stood up and took a deep breath.

"Let's try Xiao Ye's Soul Snatching Knife," Su Qi said with determination.

The sound of Su Qi's voice was overshadowed by a massive explosion. The Soul Reaper Knife pierced through the Heavenly Spirit Cover of the Blood Soul Demon Beast, revealing its true form. The beast exploded into pieces, leaving behind a round Demon Beast spar in the air.

"Firesilver, catch the spar," Su Qi commanded.

Knowing that Firesilver was faster than him, Su Qi relied on his companion to retrieve the spar.

"Got it," Firesilver replied, sounding pleased.

Killing the Blood Soul Demon Beast with a single strike, it seemed that Su Qi had underestimated his own strength. This was their first successful cooperation in slaying a Warcraft creature, showcasing their mutual understanding. Su Qi felt delighted, knowing that he would finally be promoted to the eighth stage of the Golden Xuan Period, and that his wife's efforts would not be in vain.

Meanwhile, Ji Yu and the other eight men stood dumbfounded, realizing that Su Qi possessed remarkable treasures.

"Here you go." Firesilver threw the still-warm Warcraft Spar to Su Qi.

Within a blink of an eye, Su Qi caught the spar and prepared to extract its cultivation. However, Ji Yu intervened, stopping him in his tracks.

"Su Qi, how dare you deceive everyone and secretly take the other three Soul Melting Ginsengs that belong to this prince? And now you want to keep them all for yourself?" Ji Yu roared angrily, his hands clenched in frustration.

"Qi'er, shoot him dead! I've never seen such an audacious person!" Firesilver interjected, using yet another name for Su Qi.

"It's easy to kill him, but he's the queen's younger brother. It would bring trouble to Bright Moon Villa," Su Qi explained, turning to Ji Yu with a sneer.

"Ji Gongzi, are you afraid that you won't be able to obtain the Soul Melting Ginsengs? All six were obtained by me, Su Qi, personally from the cave. And just now, I even saved your life. If you don't appreciate it, fine, but you dare to make baseless accusations. If you wanted the Soul Melting Ginsengs, why didn't you retrieve them from the cave earlier? All six were obtained by Xiao Ye," Su Qi stated boldly, facing the group of people who had hostile intentions towards him.

"Hmph, saving our lives was already a great favor to you. Do you know who we are?" the man in white retorted, his chin held high. Su Qi recognized him as the same man in white who had asked for their help outside the cave.

Ignoring the man's words, Su Qi continued with a sarcastic tone, "Now, Xiao Ye is in a good mood. Those who know what's good for them should leave immediately, or else Xiao Ye will treat you just like that blood monster."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yu sneered, "Su Qi, do you know who I am? You possess numerous powerful treasures, and killing us might be easy for you. But can you hide from the scrutiny of the world? Those three Soul Melting Ginsengs belong to me, and you won't be able to devour them alone."

Su Qi's expression grew increasingly gloomy. "Are you trying to push your luck? Or do you prefer to face the consequences?" he retorted.

"You guys, stop arguing," the man in white intervened, stepping forward to mediate. He looked at Su Qi and proposed, "Young Master Su, you only need half a Soul Melting Pill to refine the Heavenly Soul Shou Pill. How about selling us the remaining Soul Melting Pills? It would be more convenient for everyone!"

"I'd rather facilitate myself than facilitate others. Why should Xiao Ye sell the hard-earned Soul Melting Ginsengs?" Su Qi replied, feeling quite proud of himself.

Huoyin glanced at him, secretly pondering who had mentioned earlier that their actions would attract trouble, yet Su Qi was now willing to sell them.

"You...!" The man in white didn't expect Su Qi to be so stubborn. With time running out, he had no choice but to resort to force.

"Firesilver, let's go back," Su Qi said, looking at the sky and realizing they couldn't miss the appointed time.

"Alright!" Firesilver agreed.

Upon hearing this, Ji Yu glanced at the man in white, waiting for his response.

"Lansuke, what do you mean?" Lan Jie quickly exchanged glances with Ji Yu.

"Both King Ben and Ji Gongzi have the same intention, don't they?"
