Ren Water Immortal Peach, Yuanshi Suffers Internal Injuries

After seeing Nan Ji cut the spiritual peach into several pieces, Duo Duo's eyes revealed a hint of reluctance.

One must know, these were the first batch of peaches nurtured by the Ren Water Immortal Peach tree.

The first batch, nurtured for tens of thousands of years, and only nine in total, each one capable of creating a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

However, unlike the immortal peach trees of the Heavenly Court in later generations, these spiritual peaches would not cause instability in a cultivator's foundation after consumption.

Although the Witch Clan did not cultivate the Primordial Spirit, these spiritual peaches were still invaluable treasures for tempering their physical bodies.

It was just that now, Houtu had heard that this was the most beautiful place in the world, and this little immortal crane person before her was also different from most cultivators in the Great Desolation.

Niu Niu, on the other hand, had an expression of "just as I expected," and glanced at Houtu.

Nan Ji, however, was slow to realize what was happening. Seeing that the grilled meat on the barbecue rack was almost ready, he rubbed his hands in anticipation, "Get ready, let's eat!"

At this moment, Nan Ji did not hold back for the two of them. He picked up a bamboo skewer with a fluid motion, holding a piece of grilled meat in his hand.

He blew on it twice forcefully before dipping the grilled meat made from the spirit beast into his homemade sauce and putting it into his mouth.

Niu Niu, with quick hands and eyes, also grabbed a skewer of grilled meat, still slightly bloody, and ate it after haphazardly dipping it in the sauce.

As for Duo Duo, although her personality was carefree, she felt a little embarrassed watching the two of them scramble for food at this moment.

"Here! Little Duo Duo, let me tell you, if you don't take one soon, we'll eat them all up."

Nan Ji said to Duo Duo while tearing at the grilled meat with his teeth.

Niu Niu, however, ignored her good friend Duo Duo, as if afraid she would eat less if she was any slower.

"This..."

Duo Duo hesitated.

Although the Witch Clan was naturally robust, she was both an Ancestor Witch of the Witch Clan and the youngest among the Twelve Ancestor Witches.

Her brothers usually doted on her, so when had they ever fought like this?

But seeing the way Queen Mother of the West and Niu Niu were eating, Duo Duo did not stand on ceremony. She picked up a piece of grilled meat, which was browned and charred, dipped it in the sauce in front of her with practiced ease, and put it into her mouth.

The moment the grilled meat, with its heat, touched her mouth.

Duo Duo felt that the meat she had eaten before seemed to have lost all its flavor.

Tender, spicy, with a crispy exterior and tender interior...

Duo Duo unconsciously narrowed her eyes, looking extremely contented.

Seeing Duo Duo's expression, Nan Ji and Niu Niu exchanged glances and then sped up their eating.

When Duo Duo reluctantly swallowed the grilled meat and wanted to take another skewer, she found that there was only one skewer left on the barbecue rack.

Looking again, Nan Ji and Niu Niu each had hundreds of bamboo skewers placed beside them.

"You guys..." Duo Duo looked at the two of them a little angrily, wanting to say something.

But after thinking about it, she first put the last remaining skewer of grilled meat into her mouth and then savored it with an expression of enjoyment.

Afterward, she looked at Nan Ji with reluctance, as if asking if she could have some more.

But Nan Ji seemed to see that she still wanted to say something and quickly said, "No!"

Then, seeing Duo Duo's wronged expression, Nan Ji explained, "Look, too many good things lose their appeal. It will be like this from now on. Even if it's delicious, you have to get it yourself!"

This was the essence of a barbecue gathering.

If there were no limits and everyone could take as much as they wanted, the food itself would naturally lose some of its unique flavor.

"However, we still have dessert!"

With that, Nan Ji placed the fruit platter in front of the two of them. Various spiritual fruits were cut into small pieces and placed in the center.

"Come on, let's start!"

Perhaps because of the situation during the barbecue earlier, this time Duo Duo and Niu Niu both consciously picked up forks and swept through the spiritual fruits in the jade plate.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, both of them ate very few of the peaches, while Nan Ji ate quite a few.

The palm-sized fruit plate was instantly cleared by the three of them.

"Burp..."

Duo Duo and Niu Niu rubbed their little bellies contentedly, extremely satisfied with the palate-cleansing fruits after the meal.

"You guys..."

Just as Nan Ji was about to find some more fun with the two of them, he suddenly felt a surge of pure spiritual energy erupting from his Dantian.

Without time to say anything else, Nan Ji quickly sat down cross-legged, guiding the circulation of the spiritual energy.

Seeing Nan Ji begin to cultivate, Niu Niu revealed a sly smile. Then, with a wave of her small hand, a formation descended beside Nan Ji.

Following that, a white light flashed, and a figure with a human head, tiger body, and leopard tail appeared. Then, Queen Mother of the West said to her, "Don't worry, this formation will not only protect him but also isolate external sounds and sights."

A yellow-brown light flashed, and Houtu also transformed into her true form. She said to Queen Mother of the West with emotion, "Sister, you really didn't lie to me. This Xuanqing Peak is truly interesting."

Queen Mother of the West smiled knowingly, "There will be more fun when Nan Ji wakes up. But now, we should go and meet our three senior brothers."

Saying that, the two of them flashed and arrived at the foot of Kirin Cliff.

The Three Pure Ones were still in cultivation, but their eyes all opened and looked towards the Queen Mother of the West and Houtu.

"Greetings, Third Senior Brothers!" the Queen Mother of the West and Houtu said to the Three Pure Ones.

"You two fellow daoists have truly toyed with my disciple," Yuanshi said, his tone unfriendly from the moment he spoke.

Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother of the West responded with an exaggerated expression, "Great Elder Brother's Master, please don't speak nonsense. Brother will be unhappy when he wakes up."

If Nan Ji saw this scene, he would definitely give the Queen Mother of the West a thumbs-up.

Playing like this, she was practically the originator of the Great Desolation's cosplay world.

As expected, after the Queen Mother of the West finished speaking, Yuanshi's veins bulged with anger. He simply closed his eyes and ignored them.

Laozi, however, didn't say much upon seeing this. Instead, he looked at Houtu and said, "Fellow Daoist, you are quite generous to even bring out that Ren Water Immortal Peach."

Houtu didn't act coy either. She stated directly, "Although that Ren Water Immortal Peach is precious, it's not as valuable as this experience. If Senior Brother agrees, Houtu is willing to move to Kunlun Mountain and reside here temporarily."

Her words were gentle and pleasant to hear, but one shouldn't forget Houtu's voice.

Tongtian's eyebrows twitched upon hearing this. "Fellow Daoist Houtu, please come as soon as possible. However, that Ren Water Immortal Peach is something my Senior Brothers and I have yet to taste..."

The content of this conversation immediately caused Yuanshi, who had his eyes closed, to open them again. "Eat, eat, eat! All you think about is eating. Are you still short of peaches to eat?"

After saying this, Yuanshi realized there were outsiders present and explained, "It was I who lost my composure!"

Ignoring the wronged Tongtian, Yuanshi changed the subject. "However, Fellow Daoist Houtu, how can you ask to stay the first time you visit someone's dojo?"

Indeed, although Houtu's words were pleasant, they were also quite presumptuous.

Upon hearing this, Houtu, who was usually quite carefree, felt a blush creep onto her face from Yuanshi's words.

Seeing the situation, the Queen Mother of the West couldn't help but mock them mercilessly. "So what? You Three Pure Ones and the Ancestor Witches are of the same origin, all transformed from the Great God Pangu. Must you not even stay together for a moment now that Great God Pangu has perished?"

"You!"

Yuanshi looked at the Queen Mother of the West with her hands on her hips and thought to himself: As expected of a creature born of scales and shells, hatched from eggs, and born in water – ignorant of proper etiquette!

He then closed his eyes again, ignoring the two of them.

Laozi, however, stepped in to smooth things over. "It's alright, it's alright. We all live together with the Queen Mother of the West on this Kunlun Mountain, and the Ancestor Witches are transformed from Pangu's essence blood. We should all visit each other more often."

"Now that's what I call something the Three Pure Ones would say!" the Queen Mother of the West muttered softly.

Yuanshi's eyebrows twitched upon hearing this voice.

Houtu simply and clearly said, "Thank you, Senior Brother. We will be imposing on you then."

Afterward, Houtu and the Queen Mother of the West sensed that the Three Pure Ones couldn't entertain them further. They exchanged a few pleasantries and then turned back towards the West Kunlun.
