Whatever you do, I will accompany you!

"I underestimated Bai Li Hongzhuang. It's truly rare to see someone with such courage, considering her cultivation level in the Profound Realm," Yan Lingxuan exclaimed, shaking his head. Initially, he only thought Bai Li Hongzhuang showed courage when dealing with Ji Dairu, but now he realized she was equally formidable in battle.

Seeing Yan Lingxuan's admiration for Bai Li Hongzhuang, a hint of displeasure flashed in Ji Dairu's eyes, and her words carried a touch of sourness.

"What's so impressive about it? Could you have done any better in that situation?" Ji Dairu sneered. "We simply thought it wasn't worth risking our lives for such a thing."

As scions of noble families, their lives were the most important, and they didn't feel the need to intervene unless necessary.

"Ji Dairu, stop being sour grapes. Even if you were in that situation, I doubt you would have done better than Bai Li Hongzhuang," Lin Xirou said nonchalantly, tearing down Ji Dairu's facade. She wasn't like Ji Dairu, who couldn't stand others' success.

In fact, if Bai Li Hongzhuang came from a cultivation family, Lin Xirou believed she would also be a remarkable figure among the younger generation.

"What do you mean by that, Lin Xirou?"

Ji Dairu took a step forward, her face showing anger. Since yesterday, Lin Xirou had been praising Bai Li Hongzhuang, clearly taking the opportunity to mock her.

"What do I mean? I'm just speaking the truth," Lin Xirou replied indifferently, not bothered by Ji Dairu's questioning.

"Ji Dairu, you need to understand who I am. Others may fear you, but I have no reason to fear you," Lin Xirou said coldly, a hint of fierceness appearing in her gentle and serene eyes.

Han Xiliang observed the conflict between Ji Dairu and Lin Xirou, feeling somewhat surprised by Lin Xirou's behavior.

It seemed that beneath Lin Xirou's gentle and fragile appearance, she had a strong and resilient heart.

Ji Dairu clearly didn't expect Lin Xirou to confront her, and her expression turned slightly ugly. "I don't have time to deal with you right now. After this ancient relic expedition is over, we'll settle our accounts slowly!"

"Suit yourself, I'll be there to accompany you," Lin Xirou raised an eyebrow, not taking Ji Dairu's words to heart.

"Master, the Qingtian Demon Crocodile is already dead," White Lion's tender voice resounded in Bai Li Hongzhuang's mind.

"Then let's go over there now," Bai Li Hongzhuang said, her gaze focused.

"Master, I... I want the demon crystal of the Qingtian Demon Crocodile," White Lion blinked its small eyes, looking at Bai Li Hongzhuang with longing. Since the appearance of the Qingtian Demon Crocodile, it had been coveting the demon crystal.

As a Yellow Realm beast, the energy within the demon crystal of the Qingtian Demon Crocodile was exceptionally abundant. It was much more superior than the demon crystals it usually consumed—a highly nourishing item!

Bai Li Hongzhuang was slightly taken aback. She had forgotten that she had this creature that couldn't resist a demon crystal.

The gleaming desire in its starry eyes... made it impossible for anyone to refuse!

"I will go and seize the demon crystal!" Bai Li Hongzhuang said in a deep voice.

Emperor Bei Chen looked at Bai Li Hongzhuang's sudden change of expression, a hint of confusion appearing in his eyes. "My wife, is there a problem?"

Bai Li Hongzhuang shook her head slightly and then pointed to the little creature in her arms. "This little guy wants the demon crystal of the Qingtian Demon Crocodile."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Bei Chen also understood. "The Beast King has always liked to feed on demon crystals."
