Beauty helps me achieve immortality

Chapter 609: The Most Beautiful Lady in the Holy State

A quiet little courtyard.

Deep winter, warm sun.

The cold wind rustled the dead branches.

The mottled rays of bright sunlight painted a picture scroll, which fell through the window lattice into the mist of hot tea, reflecting colorful light and shadow... intermittent and fragmented.

Ye Xi was only stunned and silent for a moment, but soon all the bitterness in his heart was gone, and his smiling eyes were full of excitement.

He was even very curious and a little surprised: "How did you know?"

"Did the young master discover it?"

She lay on the bed with her chin supported, the messy quilt and bellyband pressed under her body, her smooth and graceful back was exposed to the sunlight... like a piece of exquisitely crafted jade.

The girl's charming smile was full of novelty and anticipation, as if she was waiting for someone else's story.

Seeing her like this, the aunt couldn't help but smile. She pulled the quilt over to cover her body and said softly with a slight sense of relief...

"We sent Fairy Ye a message inviting her to the banquet, but she didn't respond at all. Ning'er is always like this, so she just thought you were stubborn."

"But my husband and I were unraveling the mystery early this morning—"

The woman paused for a moment, as if she suddenly remembered something. She took out a few small green tangerines from her body, squeezed them with her slender fingers to squeeze out the sour and clear juice, and threw it into the teacups of the two people.

Ye Xi also chuckled and glanced sideways, then smiled in understanding and praised: "So this is the taste..."

"The more astringent it is, the more wonderful the taste is. The juice will explode between your teeth... and the sourness will move randomly along your throat—"

The auntie chuckled as she recommended her fruits, and even took out a few and stuffed them into the girl's warm quilt.

Ye Xi felt the sudden chill approaching her slender waist, and her body trembled involuntarily.

She quickly reached out to take it, and tried Xiaoyi's method of biting it down and swallowing it. Her eyes, full of curiosity, were instantly filled with tears...

"If you don't respond to the subpoena, there are only two situations."

"One is like Ning'er, who quietly takes it out, glances at it, and then puts it away...without any reaction."

"And the other situation is that there is no communication jade at all."

The aunt laughed lightly, staring playfully at the girl's twisted face, and said sarcastically, "You lost the communication jade, why didn't you tell me?"

"Are you afraid we'll beat you?"

Ye Xi swallowed the sour fruit whole, wiped her tears with her slender fingers, and smiled bitterly: "The Blood-Robed Immortal Boat is so dazzling, I can see it just by looking up, why would I need to send a message?"

My aunt immediately glared at her unhappily.

"With the alliance between the Jian and Ye families in Tianxiang City, there aren't many things that can reassure Jian Ting... The communication method you have with us is one of them."

"Besides stealing your communication jade, what else did Ye Qiuying take?"

The girl was so sour from the fruit, and she sipped her hot tea slowly, saying with a vague smile, "There are only some valuables left. I have to clean them up for her, otherwise she won't trust me... It's okay."

Although the aunt's heart was filled with pity and guilt, she seemed to have been infected by Ye Xi's emotions at this moment. She also had a curious look on her face and chatted with gossip in the boudoir with a smile.

"It's a pity that Fairy Yue Lianye has countless admirers. I think she must have accumulated a lot of resources and treasures over the years, but they are all being given away to others?"

"Jian Ting said that you had cold iron piercing your collarbone and limbs, and were locked in a desolate palace for several days, struggling to survive?"

"Little girl, aren't you afraid of pain?"

Ye Xi listened with great interest. Her dark pupils reflected the warm sunlight as she chuckled and quipped, "So what can we do? Can we blame your arrangement later?"

"I finally have a chance to take revenge. I also want to disgust that bitch~"

"Aren't we friends? There's nothing wrong, it's good as long as everyone is happy."

My aunt chuckled and breathed softly, but her chest rose and fell slightly.

She understood this girl...she just didn't want to make her family feel guilty, and she didn't need others to feel sorry for her.

So I kept silent about it and pretended it never happened... and endured everything alone.

Seeing her casually chatting, my aunt couldn't help but ask curiously, "Then how did you get the news about Ning'er in Tianxiang City?"

Ye Xi was surprised when he heard this, and a strange cleverness flashed in his smiling eyes: "There's no need to send a message. If something really happened outside... Ye Qiuying's expression would change, and it would change very quickly."

"And Senior Sister Mu has Hong Ning's communication jade, as well as Yue Lian and Ye's communication jades. She will meet me outside."

so……?

The aunt stared carefully at the girl's smiling eyes, as if examining whether she was lying.

"Half of Tianxiang City belongs to you..."

"Later, we got a lot of spirit stones from Jiuxingxing, and my husband gave them to Li Wushuang and Xiang Qin. Pu Xiu and Xian Ning also got a lot."

"The largest portion was originally intended for you, but I didn't expect you to get lost... No matter how hard we tried to contact you, we couldn't find you."

The woman let out a long sigh and laughed, jokingly saying, "We were wondering at the time. We had clearly asked you about the Ye family's grudge, and you were just joking around because you didn't want to spoil the fun. So why did you go to the Ye family again?"

"He was sneaking around, and no matter how hard we looked for him, we couldn't find any trace of him. We even needed Cui Yuan to help us, and he even resigned from his position as Yuelian Junior Sect Leader..."

My aunt's heart was filled with helplessness and distress.

She and Zhao Qing's daughter Hong Ning pondered for a long time in the morning before they suddenly realized that Ye Xi had never talked about her hatred. She only said that she wanted to become an immortal and leave Zhongzhou.

All the past stories about this girl...except for the fleeting glimpse she had in Yudu, were heard from others.

She was like a little animal gasping for breath in a dark corner, afraid that others would discover her mess.

The aunt raised her eyes and looked at Ye Xi seriously, then asked with a suspicious smile, "So... that night when we went to Chengzhifang's house together, it was actually your second time going home."

The girl was not surprised at all when she heard this. She nodded, smiled softly and said softly, "Well, it's not easy to get a chance. I'll go home secretly and take a look."

"It just so happens that there aren't many people in Huaixi, so it won't be a nuisance."

Zhou Xiaoyi looked at her quietly for a moment, then nodded in approval and chuckled, "There really aren't many people there. When we got there...most of the cultivators we saw were from other races and surnames."

"The Ye family's direct ancestral hall and the peers and elders of other ancestral halls are all attending a banquet in Yaohua City. The Tianxiang Dharma Assembly is very lively."

"How long has it been since you went home?"

Ye Xi smiled and supported her chin, her beautiful eyes showing a thoughtful look: "Five or six years? I went back secretly before."

"There's nothing forbidden about Chengzhifang. I just went back to take a look... Who knew it would take Cuiyuan Xingxing to pull me out~"

I don’t know what my aunt was thinking about, and she was lost in thought for a while.

Then he raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly, "Are you going back to bid farewell to your parents? Are you leaving Zhongzhou from now on?"

"Or... you're broke and don't even have a change of clothes, so you don't want to ask anyone for money, so you secretly went back to search for some valuables and clothes?"

"It's a pity that I've been away from home for so long that I'm wearing the bellyband I wore when I was a teenager..."

Ye Xi's expression froze. He looked down at his cute bellyband and shook his head with a helpless chuckle: "That's not the case. How can I go to Huaixi through the ferry array without any money?"

My aunt was silent for a moment after hearing this, then she picked up the teacup and said leisurely:

"Monthly Order."

"Transmit the Moon Order."

"The Moon Transmission Order from the Shattered Star Holy Land."

"When you first purchase the order, a trace of divine consciousness will be sealed into the formation. Even if you are penniless and lose the monthly order, you can freely travel through the various transmission arrays in Zhongzhou."

"The monthly fee is 150,000 spirit stones per person..."

"According to the Shattered Star Mingchuanfang, Fairy Ye has been in Zhongzhou for a full thirty-seven years. She is indeed a wealthy family."

Ye Xi listened with a strange expression, he really couldn't imagine that he was so rich.

She chuckled helplessly and shook her head: "These were all given to me by friends. I don't have many spirit stones, and I didn't lose too many things."

"Didn't you lose too many things?"

The smile in my aunt's eyes gradually faded. She turned her head to look out the window and whispered softly, "The relics left by your parents were also destroyed by Ye Qiuying in Tianxiang City."

"So I went home to look for some belongings and clothes, and also to find a thought to look at... Sorry."

My parents' relics?

The girl raised her eyebrows and asked with a light smile filled with curiosity, "Why would I carry a relic with me? It was so many years ago~ This is pure fantasy."

The aunt did not comment, but just looked back quietly at the girl's bright smile.

After a moment of silence, she whispered calmly, "Some say you are the most cowardly girl she has ever met. You only have the desire to escape and are afraid to face things."

Ye Xi wrinkled her nose in dismay. Who could say that to herself?

Zhao Qing did say something similar.

What’s more…

"Master?"

My aunt slowly put down the teacup, nodded slightly and whispered softly: "Master Yuelian, Ling Guqing."

"You went to Qinggu to bid farewell to her, leaving behind the Heavenly Fragrance and Forgetfulness Scroll of Master Yuelian. From then on, you had no further connection with Zhongzhou Yuelian."

"Fairy Ling has refined a phoenix feather for you, to protect you on your final journey...away from this world."

……

The small bedroom seemed particularly quiet for a moment.

Only the sound of water flowing in the porcelain pot echoes, from the ethereal sound of water when it is shallow to the full sound when it overflows...

The patches of warm sunlight seemed to have seeped into the depths of the mist and could not be found.

The aunt raised her hand to tidy up the girl's hair, but the girl did not look embarrassed at all. Instead, she smiled brightly as always.

Just as she said, emotions can be transmitted.

"We arrived at Ye's, and no one knew you were back home."

"Where did Ye Qiuying find you later?"

The girl pursed her lips and thought for a moment, then took a few more green tangerines and lay down in bed, peeling them carefully. She smiled lightly and said, "Chengzhifang."

"When she said you guys had arrived, I was just pleasantly surprised."

"But that bitch begged me bitterly~"

Ye Xi's beautiful eyes revealed a playful expression. She looked at Xiaoyi briskly and said, "She kowtowed to me, and I made her crawl on the streets of Chengzhifang like a bitch."

"I forgave her—I lied to her~"

My aunt couldn't help but smile gently, then she sneered, "Then why did you lie to us too?"

"The young master has already gone and knows..."

The girl said softly and angrily: "If Ye Xi is deliberately acting like that, wouldn't that embarrass you?"

"Besides, I really want to... really want to... ask Senior Brother Zhao to help me."

"It's just that I couldn't hold back at the time. I went crazy and fought with that bitch, and almost hurt Senior Brother Zhao."

"Qing Huan hit me, and I deserved it. Even if Qing Huan killed me... I would be quite happy."

My aunt raised her dark eyebrows coldly, shook her head and chuckled, "I mean, why didn't you say anything when you were wronged?"

"You want us to stand up for you without saying anything?"

"The girl who walked through Yujing was defeated for us."

"I accompanied you on a leisurely tour of Xingque Jin'ao Land, watching everyone squander their money...

"I don't even have a single spirit stone on me, and there's not even any clothes in my ring."

"I was injured and didn't even dare to ask for medicine..."

"I watched everyone else drinking and having fun, while I hid in the dark, slowly festering in my wounds..."

The aunt was in a heavy mood for a moment, and found herself in a somewhat awkward mood, so she stopped talking, took a deep breath to calm herself down, and quietly looked at Ye Xi's smile that was gnashing with the sour taste of the tangerine.
