Reward You Severely and Drown You to Death

"..."

Guang Ling Douluo told them everything he knew.

He quickly recounted everything that had happened yesterday exactly as it had occurred, including how Bibi Dong had chased them to the sand dune.

Qian Renxue heard Guang Ling's complaint.

Though she was happy that Bibi Dong had come after them, she did not forget to defend Ye Tian.

She hurriedly explained, "Grandpa, I was the one who wanted to ram into the pillar. It had nothing to do with Ye Tian. He's my good friend, so you're not allowed to cause trouble for him!"

After sorting through the ins and outs of the matter,

Qian Daoliu's eyes filled with surprise. He had not expected Qian Renxue to be so bold. There was also an unspoken sense of relief. At the very least, that woman still cared about Qian Renxue.

"Grandpa, did you hear me?"

Qian Renxue tugged at Qian Daoliu's golden hair, anxiously wanting an affirmative answer.

"Hm? Heh."

Qian Daoliu remained half-crouched. Came back to senses, he reached out and held Qian Renxue by the shoulders, smiling as he comforted her. "Little Xue, don't worry. Why would Grandpa hold it against a child?"

"That's good."

Qian Renxue breathed a sigh of relief and broke into a bright smile.

Ye Tian's idea had worked surprisingly well. Qian Renxue decided to reward him severely!

"Grandpa, do we have any Whale Rubber at home?"

Qian Renxue asked again, but this time, her demand was no small one.

"If we do, I want the best!"

Qian Daoliu could not help laughing. "All right, then I'll give you the best. But before giving it to him, Little Xue needs to find out what he wants it for. Can you do that?"

"No problem!"

Qian Renxue happily patted Qian Daoliu on the shoulder and readily agreed.

Qian Daoliu nodded in satisfaction.

That kid's rotten idea had not only helped Little Xue untie more than half of the knot in her heart, but had also eased his own heartache somewhat.

Giving him a reward was only right.

Whale Rubber was not difficult to obtain, but it was far too special, so Qian Daoliu had to be cautious.

Without Qian Daoliu making any visible movement, a small Black Box appeared in his palm beneath Qian Renxue's curious gaze.

The lid was sealed perfectly tight, completely airtight.

"Little Xue, this is part of the Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber Grandpa obtained while traveling back then. It has already been melted down. As long as it is not exposed to air for too long, it will not solidify."

Qian Daoliu solemnly handed the Black Box over and warned her.

"You must remember this, and remind him as well. This thing is extremely harmful to your bodies. You must never consume it!"

"Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Qian Renxue hurriedly caught it and nodded heavily. "Don't worry, Grandpa. Xue'er remembered. I'll remind Ye Tian."

"That's good."

Qian Daoliu gave a slight nod and glanced at Guang Ling.

Guang Ling Douluo immediately understood and silently nodded, forcing his voice into a line as he used Secret Sound Transmission.

"Don't worry, Big Brother. I'll keep a close eye on her."

Qian Renxue looked at the Black Box in her hands. Besides her happiness, she was also curious. Grandpa had described Whale Rubber as being so dangerous, so why had Ye Tian asked her for it?

She had to get to the bottom of it!

Also, since Ye Tian was Mother's disciple, he should be able to stay with Mother every day, right? That was truly blissful.

At that thought, Qian Renxue could no longer wait to see Ye Tian.

--

The blazing sun hung high in the sky, and noon had already passed.

Inside Wisteria Residence's loft, it remained dry and cool, with a gentle breeze drifting through.

Inside the master bedroom.

Faint white mist drifted about. Ye Tian had not opened his eyes once, but the increasingly loud noises from his stomach kept urging him on.

Grrr~!

The unending rumbling, like muffled thunder, made Bibi Dong's brow twitch.

Her eyelids lifted as she glanced at Ye Tian.

Seeing that he did not react,

Bibi Dong closed her eyes again and endured the irritating racket.

Just then,

the thin white mist slowly receded.

As the martial soul in Ye Tian's palm dispersed, the pill fragrance in the room vanished without a trace.

No matter how vast the world was, eating came first.

Ye Tian finally opened his eyes, clutching his stomach.

"Hungry?"

Bibi Dong asked with her eyes closed, her tone much calmer now.

"Mm."

Ye Tian nodded.

Bibi Dong suddenly turned her head and opened her eyes to look at him.

"Are you afraid of me?"

Ye Tian kept silent and shook head.

Bibi Dong's slender eyebrows slightly furrowed. She withdrew her gaze and closed her eyes again.

"Go find something to eat yourself."

"Give me money."

"..."

Bibi Dong's beautiful brows danced.

When she looked at Ye Tian again, what entered her eyes was an outstretched small hand.

And those serious black eyes.

Bibi Dong slowly exhaled and took out a money bag from thin air, placing it in Ye Tian's hand.

"Here! Bring me a portion too."

Feeling the heavy weight in his palm, Ye Tian's eyes lit up.

There were at least a hundred Gold Soul Coins inside!

An unquestionable fortune!

Without a second thought, he rapidly nodded and agreed.

"No problem!"

Before he had even finished speaking, Ye Tian decisively took out that ring.

Just as he put the money bag inside,

"!!!"

In an instant,

Ye Tian felt a wave of cold qi shoot from his tailbone up his spine to the back of his head. His entire body felt as though it had fallen into an ice cellar, and he could not help shuddering.

I only took some money. It can't be to that extent, right?

Ye Tian gripped the ring and raised his head, looking towards Bibi Dong.

He saw

a pair of purple eyes giving him a death stare, filled with malice and disgust.

"Throw that dirty thing out!"

Bibi Dong's voice was incomparably cold, allowing Ye Tian no room for resistance.

"..."

Ye Tian leaned back slightly and could not help being stunned. He instantly understood that Bibi Dong wanted him to throw away the ring in his hand.

But how could that work?

This was a Storage Soul Tool, with eight cubic meters of space! Priceless and unavailable on the market!

"Throw it out!"

"Or I'll throw you outside and drown you to death!"

Bibi Dong repeated in a cold voice.

Killing intent surged from her body, making every hair on Ye Tian's body tremble.

"Uh."

Ye Tian faced a formidable enemy.

He covered the ring tightly behind his lower back, trying his best to stay rational.

Under Bibi Dong's stare, he said sheepishly,

"Um, throwing it away is no problem, of course, but this is my apprenticeship gift."

"Apprenticeship gift?"

Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes, as though she had laughed in anger.

"Heh, you've got some nerve."

Ye Tian was clearly asking her for a replacement of equal value!

"It's perfectly reasonable. Why should I be afraid?"

Ye Tian replied stubbornly.

"Pfft haha."

Bibi Dong laughed, brilliantly and mockingly.

She suddenly did not seem quite so angry anymore.

"Let's say you aren't afraid of me. I'll prepare your apprenticeship gift myself, but shouldn't you explain yesterday's matter to me?"

Yesterday's matter?

Ye Tian looked at that beautiful smiling face and recalled how hurriedly he had left the sand dune.

This woman really had appeared over there!

Thinking of that,

Ye Tian could only play dumb and look at Bibi Dong in confusion.

"..."

After staring at each other for a moment,

Bibi Dong belatedly realized she had made a fool of herself and rubbed her brow.

She had been overthinking it.

How could this kid possibly know that child's background?

Thinking of this, Bibi Dong grew irritated again.

"Get lost!"

"..."

Ye Tian silently rolled off the bed, took a step, and ran outside.

"This kid is quite useful after all."

Bibi Dong looked at Ye Tian through the window lattice and murmured softly. After experiencing it personally for so long, she had figured out the uses of that pill fragrance.

Aside from calming the mind, it could even speed up cultivation.

It was very slight, but it truly existed.

--

"Whew... That mad woman's emotions really are unstable."

Outside Wisteria Residence,

Ye Tian ran out in one breath, panting heavily.

His face still carried lingering fear.

But he did not forget the important matter of eating. Slowing his pace, he gradually walked down the mountain.

The moment he stepped onto the long stone stairs leading down,

a crisp call like a lark came from not far away.

"Ye Tian!"
