Amongst Cultivators, I Stand Above All - Chapter 488
488 Did You Get Anything?
Dong Xi brought Shangguan Yun’er back to the Shangguan Residence. Coincidentally, Shangguan Patriarch had just left the residence.
“You’re back?” Shangguan Patriarch asked. “Did you get anything?”
“I’ve harvested some spirit herbs.” Dong Xi nodded.
After saying that, Dong Xi looked at Shangguan Patriarch and continued, “You are… Are you preparing to go out?”
Shangguan Patriarch’s face turned ugly, but he was helpless. He said, “Master said that if you want to eat Immortal Peaches, they must be from the North Mountains. I’ll pick them myself.”
Seeing the aggrieved look on Shangguan Patriarch’s face, Dong Xi almost could not help but laugh.
After Shangguan Patriarch left, Dong Xi finally laughed.
“What’s so funny?” said Rui Ming.
Dong Xi turned around and looked at Rui Ming. Dong Xi said, “Senior Brother Rui Ming, why are you here?”
“I didn’t understand why you wanted me to take this servant in the past, but recently, I suddenly understood.”
Dong Xi immediately laughed and followed Rui Ming into the house.
Rui Ming poured a cup of tea for Dong Xi and said, “After you guys left, I had nothing to do, so I thought of coming here to hang out.”
Dong Xi smelled the tea and said in shock, “What tea is this? Why is it so strong?”
“It’s the Green Dragon Spring Water. I used it to brew the Fuyang Dragon Tea.”
“I didn’t expect you to be such a good person, Senior Brother.” Dong Xi said.
“Shangguan Patriarch offered it up.”
Shangguan Patriarch was truly afraid of the Crane Clan’s innate skill. Right now, he wanted to serve Rui Ming well.
Dong Xi took a sip of tea and said, “Not bad. It can help me stabilize my cultivation realm.”
From the moment he saw Dong Xi, Rui Ming already knew. Now that he heard Dong Xi say this, Rui Ming said, “You broke through?”
Dong Xi nodded, looking as if he was about to praise him. Dong Xi said, “Of course, although I can’t compare to your speed, it doesn’t hurt your reputation.”
Rui Ming looked at Dong Xi and said helplessly, “I’m not very fast, okay? I just recovered some of my previous cultivation. Junior Sister, your speed is already very fast. In the entire Eastern Continent, there are very few people who can compare to you.”
This time, Dong Xi did not act too modest. She remembered that her small goal when she first arrived in the cultivation world was only to build her foundation.
Now, Dong Xi had reached the middle Foundation Establishment stage, which took only three years.
Shangguan Patriarch would be gone for at least half a month.
As Dong Xi had obtained the Deep Sea Extreme Ice, she wanted to find a place with abundant fire spiritual energy to refine her body immediately.
According to Dong Xi’s thoughts, the volcano of the Fire Tribe was especially suitable. Unfortunately, there was no Deep Sea Extreme Ice at that time.
Rui Ming wanted to leave with Dong Xi, but Dong Xi was not surprised. Dong Xi said, “Senior Brother, aren’t you going to wait for the Peach?”
“No wait, I’m already so old. What treasure haven’t I eaten before?”
Qiu Heng’s words sounded like an old man’s, and with Rui Ming’s face, it was somewhat unacceptable.
At this moment, Dong Xi was even more curious.
Dong Xi approached Rui Ming and gossiped, “Senior Brother, how old are you?”
Rui Ming pondered for a moment, then looked at Dong Xi. Seeing Dong Xi’s expectant gaze, Rui Ming said lightly, “I can’t remember.”
Dong Xi was speechless.
Seeing that Rui Ming had already walked far away, Dong Xi immediately chased after him.
“Fine, you don’t want to tell me. Why didn’t you wait for me?” Dong Xi said. “Senior Brother, you’ve grown up. You’re not as cute as you were when you were young…”
Shangguan Yun’er watched the two of them leave. Shangguan Yun’ er was holding a painting in her hand.
The painting was not drawn by Shangguan Yun’er, but by Dong Xi.
There was a mermaid standing on the chaotic ancient battlefield.
The sunlight shone on the painting, and the whole picture seemed to have a broken sense of beauty.
There was also a line of ugly words written on the painting.
[Madam, I’m leaving. I’m sorry. I started to hide my identity and ruined your choice of husband. If you have any difficulties in the future, send me a message. Don’t be an outsider. Finally, I sincerely wish Madam a good marriage.]
Shangguan Yun’er knew that after Dong Xi left, the two of them would have nothing to do with each other anymore.
When Shangguan Yun’er found out that Dong Xi was a woman, she did not get angry. Instead, she was very envious of Dong Xi and grateful to her.
If not for Dong Xi, Shangguan Yun’er would probably be dead already.
Because of the jade slip, Shangguan Yun’er knew that there was actually a woman in the world who could live so freely.
Shangguan Yun’er looked at Dong Xi’s back and said, “Goodbye, my Husband.”
This was the last time Shangguan Yun’er called her husband. Only after Dong Xi had walked far away did Shangguan Yun’er turn around desolately.
