“Tsk, if I wasn’t worried that the old turtle would swallow my Ambrosia if I got too close, I would have long gone over and snatched the Ambrosia from that scholar’s hands.”
The demons watched He Xiuyuan from a distance, and after he had completely drunk the Ambrosia, their eyes flickered with a hint of vexation.
Drinking this Ambrosia could increase one’s Dao cultivation significantly; it was much better than their painstaking Cultivation!
This old turtle was truly foolish, not even knowing to snatch this Ambrosia.
“Alas, it’s a pity. We didn’t learn anything on Sanxian Island, and that Fairy didn't give us any guidance.”
When the demons brought this up, they immediately sighed.
They had come all this way to Sanxian Island, enduring hardships, and who would have thought that they would meet the Fairy but receive no guidance from her?
Thinking of this, the demons sighed in their hearts.
They racked their brains but couldn't figure out what was so wonderful about the dance moves of those women.
He Xiuyuan sat on the turtle’s back, and after completely drinking the Ambrosia, he immediately felt Spiritual Qi surging throughout his body, increasing little by little.
This spiritual power could indeed increase one’s Dao cultivation!
He estimated that this Ambrosia had increased his Dao cultivation by several months. If he drank a bit more, wouldn't he be able to gain several years of Dao cultivation, saving years of arduous Cultivation?
He Xiuyuan thought of this and couldn't help but glance at the demons.
But soon, He Xiuyuan withdrew his gaze.
That Ambrosia wasn't his, so snatching the Ambrosia from those demons’ hands was out of the question.
He Xiuyuan disdained doing such a thing.
He had just thought about testing the old turtle, and if he were to turn around and snatch things from those demons, he would be even worse than this old turtle.
Thinking of this, He Xiuyuan shifted his body and lay down on the turtle’s back.
“Senior Turtle, I’ll take a short nap. When we arrive, please trouble you to wake me up.”
The old turtle below responded with a grunt, preparing to take He Xiuyuan to the seashore.
The demons nearby, listening to the conversation from afar, were immediately amused and annoyed.
“I say, old turtle, are you really so obedient to this Mortal? That Mortal didn’t even share a drop of Ambrosia with you, and you’re still listening to him like this?”
“Old turtle, your temper is too good, isn’t it? Are you perhaps pretending, wanting us to get closer so you can catch us all in one go?”
The demons looked at He Xiuyuan and immediately started shouting at the old turtle.
A mere Mortal, riding on their heads? How could this be allowed?
Thinking of this, they wished the old turtle would directly flip He Xiuyuan off and swallow him whole.
However, the old turtle, hearing these words, didn’t even bother to consider the demons’ thoughts.
No matter what He Xiuyuan was like, he dared to sit on its back to return and could speak honestly, showing it great respect.
Unlike these other fellows, who were all impolite when they arrived, treating it like a pet.
Now they were even slandering it endlessly in their hearts, thinking that if they returned with it, they would be flipped into the sea.
In comparison, He Xiuyuan was much more honest and showed it more respect; these demons couldn’t compare.
Seeing that the old turtle ignored them, the demons, annoyed, stopped speaking.
Even a Mortal was like this, and the old turtle did nothing; it was truly too foolish.
Thinking of this, the demons no longer paid attention and just swam forward.
......
“From now on, let’s seal the island. Don’t let anyone else in.”
On Sanxian Island.
Senior Sister Zhi Sui directed the paper maidens to clear everything from the table and clean the surroundings thoroughly before finally stopping.
Seeing that the surroundings were finally cleaned, she breathed a sigh of relief.
When she looked up at the sky, the sun in the distance had already reached the sea, illuminating the distant sea surface with shimmering waves, which was quite beautiful.
Ting You, who was nearby, immediately nodded. Entertaining these demons was indeed exhausting.
Moreover, it delayed her Cultivation.
Thinking of this, her gaze involuntarily fell on Jin Xue, who had been sleeping there since the demons left.
Jin Xue had been sleeping since the very beginning, and she had slept until now, doing no work at all. Jin Xue was truly comfortable.
Thinking of this, Ting You looked at Jin Xue and couldn't help but sigh.
“This Junior Sister, all she knows is entering the Dao through wine, and all she knows is drinking every day. Once she gets drunk, she just lies down like this. She’s certainly comfortable.”
Upon hearing this, Zhi Sui remembered Jin Xue, who was still sleeping, and immediately walked towards her.
“What kind of wine did this fellow drink this time? Why has she slept for so long?”
In the past, Jin Xue had gotten drunk before, but she had never been drunk for such a long time.
This time was strange; she had slept for so long and still hadn't woken up.
“She wouldn’t be deliberately pretending to sleep to avoid working, would she?”
Ting You thought for a moment upon hearing this, then speculated.
Considering Jin Xue’s previous drunken appearances, she certainly hadn’t slept for such a long time.
This time, not waking up for so long was indeed very strange. She was probably faking it, right?
Thinking of this, both of them walked towards Jin Xue.
After approaching Jin Xue a short distance, both of them twitched their noses slightly, smelling a faint yet very delicate fragrance from Jin Xue.
This was... the scent of wine?
This wine scent was very unusual; compared to the wines Jin Xue brewed before, it was indeed many times superior!
The two women were immediately surprised by this discovery.
Jin Xue used to brew some fine wines herself and brought them for them to taste, but the wine scent was just ordinary.
As for the wine itself, perhaps only Jin Xue herself liked to drink it.
But now, the wine scent on Jin Xue was extraordinary. The two women twitched their noses slightly, and they even felt a little craving.
“When did this girl brew such a fine wine herself?”
The two women hadn’t realized anything yet and went forward, intending to wake Jin Xue.
However, at this moment, Spiritual Qi suddenly circulated around Jin Xue, then rapidly flowed into her body.
In just an instant, as the surrounding Spiritual Qi swept in, it seemed to be on the verge of solidifying into tangible Spiritual Qi.
“This is...!?”
Zhi Sui felt the spiritual power sweeping into Jin Xue’s body and her eyes widened in astonishment, then she stared intently at Jin Xue’s small figure.
“Senior Sister, what’s wrong?”
Seeing this, Ting You immediately felt a little flustered. She didn't know what had happened, and seeing the sudden anomaly around Jin Xue, her heart tightened, thinking that something bad had happened.
And Zhi Sui, seeing this at this moment, couldn't help but take a deep breath, her eyes filled with shock.
“Our Junior Sister... has comprehended the Dao...”
Comprehended the Dao?
Ting You was stunned upon hearing this, pondered for a moment in her mind, then suddenly trembled.
Comprehended the Dao!?!?
