Such a situation had completely exceeded Yao Ruoxian's understanding. He couldn't make sense of what was going on at all. It was too strange, to the point where he didn't dare to rashly cut open Charcoal's stomach to search for the Yao Core.
If there was anything wrong with Charcoal, there wasn't anything wrong with him right now. He looked like he was sleeping soundly.
But now, Yao Ruoxian didn't know how to explain it to the two girls. He squatted there awkwardly and touched Charcoal's body.
He didn't even have the face to see the two girls. He had repeatedly said that he was fine and that he could handle it. In the end, he was unreliable every time. What would the two girls think of him? His image as a master in the hearts of the two girls would probably be completely destroyed.
The two girls weren't fools. After spending so much time with Yao Ruoxian, they knew what kind of person he was. One look at his dilly-dallying face and they knew that he couldn't handle it.
The two of them stopped counting on him and ran into the house in a panic.
"What are you two doing?" In a flash, Yao Ruoxian blocked the two of them.
"We've stirred up trouble," Snow said with a pained expression.
Qian 'Er said, "Tell the master and ask the master to punish me."
"Why tell him? I will take care of this matter. "Yao Ruoxian patted his chest and promised.
However, the two girls had no confidence in his words. Xue Er bit her lip and asked, "Master, can you really guarantee that nothing will happen to Charcoal?"
His tone and the meaning behind his words were clearly telling Yao Ruoxian that if anything were to happen to him again, they would never trust him again.
He wanted Yao Ruoxian to make a final promise!
"This …" Yao Ruoxian was very hesitant. If by any chance he couldn't settle this, then he would be trampling on the last bit of his moral standing in the hearts of these two girls. However, he himself didn't even know what was going on. It was a little inconvenient for him to make a promise so easily.
With this hesitation, the two girls were certain that their master had no confidence at all.
Qian'Er whispered, "Master has many ways. If I tell Master now, Charcoal might still be saved."
Xue 'Er nodded her head vigorously. The two girls had a rather blind trust in Miao Yi.
However, these words displeased Yao Ruoxian. Why did it seem like she was inferior to that brat? She glared at him and said, "Him? Do you think I'm inferior to him? "
The two girls weren't in the mood to continue wasting time with him. Who cared if he was like that? Saving Charcoal was more important.
He circled around Yao Ruoxian from left and right. He was about to go to the quiet room to beg for help.
Yao Ruoxian panicked. Once again, he moved to block the two of them. Glancing left and right, he lowered his voice and said, "Are you guys stupid? That kid won't come out of seclusion for no reason. How would he know what happened? If he asks, you can just say you don't know. What can he do? We … "
Before he could finish his sentence, he couldn't continue.
The way the two girls looked at him was as disappointed as they could be. It was as if they were saying, 'Master, how could you be this kind of person?
The two girls didn't say anything. They walked around him again and quickly left.
"..." Yao Ruoxian was speechless for a good while. Then, he turned around and walked out while mumbling to himself. "These two girls are so stubborn. They don't even know what's good for you …"
Inside the silent quarters, Qian'Er and Xue'Er were already kneeling in front of the stone couch. Once again, they startled Miao Yi, who was still in closed-door cultivation. Sobbing, he honestly told them everything that had happened outside.
Charcoal was going to die? Miao Yi's eyes gradually widened.
As soon as he finished listening to the two girls' report, Miao Yi had already jumped up. In the air, he spread his fingers, and with a flash of cold light, the Inversed-Scales Spear appeared in his hand. Then, he immediately dashed out of the silent quarters.
He rushed out of the room. Turning back to look at the unconscious Charcoal, Miao Yi went up and gave him a couple of kicks. "Damn fatty! Damn fatty!"
He shouted a few times, but there was no response. Miao Yi's expression twitched. He abruptly turned to look at Yao Ruoxian, who was leisurely strolling around the courtyard with his hands behind his back. Waving his spear angrily, he shouted, "Shameless old thief!"
In an instant, he dashed out. A dragon's roar reverberated through the air. Qian'Er and Xue'Er, who were following closely behind, couldn't stop him in time. They could only watch as Miao Yi fiercely thrust his spear towards Yao Ruoxian.
Yao Ruoxian was originally prepared to wait for Miao Yi to come out and then sway him.
He didn't expect Miao Yi to have such a huge reaction. Without a second word, he wanted to fight him to the death. Yao Ruoxian was a little speechless. From this, it could be seen that this bastard and the fat thief had a close relationship. Even though he knew he couldn't beat him, he still wanted to fight him to the death.
In reality, the difference in strength between the two of them was too great. It wasn't just a difference of one or two levels. It was a difference between heaven and earth!
Yao Ruoxian swung his hand, and spread his fingers to meet the incoming Inversed-Scales Spear. A surge of transcendence energy surged out, instantly freezing the Inversed-Scales Spear in mid-air.
Miao Yi, who was still in mid-air, was also frozen in place. His entire body was stuck in the air, unable to move. With his cultivation, there was no way he could resist Yao Ruoxian's attack.
"Brat, you're tired of living, aren't you?" Yao Ruoxian sneered. He was looking down on Miao Yi, mocking him for daring to fight him!
Miao Yi, who was suppressed by the powerful transcendence energy, had a furious expression on his face. He invoked his transcendence energy and forced himself to speak, "Qian'Er, Xue'Er. Immediately inform the men of our cave. Quickly invite the experts of Suppressing Second Hall to kill this old thief. I want this old thief to have no place to hide in this world anymore!"
Yao Ruoxian's expression froze. He couldn't laugh anymore.
Even though Miao Yi's cultivation was low, he still had many powerful backers behind him. Forget about Red Lotus experts, even Purple Lotus experts, or even Golden Lotus experts could be summoned.
Even though Miao Yi didn't know any of the upper echelons of the system, he was still a member of the system. As long as it was a legitimate request, he could even invite Mu Fanjun from the Realm Beyond Heaven. When the time came, he could definitely kill Yao Ruoxian until he had no way out.
This was the biggest difference between a Loose Cultivator and a cultivator of the system. The former didn't have any backers, unless they found an expert to protect them. On the other hand, the latter had layers upon layers of backers behind them, and their forces were incomparably huge!
Yao Ruoxian could tell that this brat was determined to fight back even if he didn't care about his own life. He was completely unreasonable.
It wasn't that he was afraid of Miao Yi. With his cultivation, he could easily kill everyone in East Arrival Cave before the news spread. However, there was no need to make such a big fuss over a dragon steed. If news of this were to leak out, he would probably have to endure endless suffering for the rest of his life.
Most importantly, once he killed Miao Yi, he would no longer have any fate with the tiny mantids.
Qian'Er and Xue'Er were at a loss. On one side was their master, and on the other side was their master. They didn't know what to do.
Seeing that the two of them weren't moving, Miao Yi was furious. "Don't tell me you won't even listen to me!?"
These words were a little harsh for his handmaidens. Qian'Er and Xue'Er trembled, their expressions changing drastically. They quickly ran away, intending to do as Miao Yi ordered.
Yao Ruoxian's face twitched. With a push of his palm, Miao Yi was sent flying. He quickly stood in front of the two girls, pointed at Miao Yi and roared, "Brat, did you get bitten by a rabid dog? If you want to turn against me, you should at least tell me why, right? "
As soon as Miao Yi landed, he pointed his spear at Charcoal. "You killed my mount …."
"Bullshit!" Yao Ruoxian also pointed at Charcoal. "Is it dead? It's clearly sleeping there. How do you know it's dead? "
"..." The furious Miao Yi was taken aback. He turned around and saw that Charcoal was snoring loudly. It really wasn't dead.
Not giving him time to think, Yao Ruoxian spat again, "You didn't even understand the situation, and you dared to attack me. Did you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you?"
Miao Yi was taken aback. After thinking about it, he realized that he was indeed a little too impulsive.
He had come here seething with anger, but Yao Ruoxian's words had made him lose his momentum. "Qian'Er and Xue'Er told me …"
Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Yao Ruoxian again, "What do those two girls know? What do they know? I was just joking with them, and they took it seriously. They don't understand, and neither do you! "
Qian'Er and Xue'Er looked at each other. They were quite suspicious of his words. Earlier, the two of them had seen him so guilty that he was breaking out in a cold sweat.
Miao Yi was instantly rendered speechless. He slowly put away the Inversed-Scales Spear in his hand, then turned around and dashed to Charcoal's side. He crouched down and invoked his transcendence energy to examine Charcoal.
He also felt that there seemed to be a mysterious force within Charcoal's rapidly circulating blood that was trying to obstruct his transcendence energy from probing inside. The transcendence source within his body quickly circulated, strengthening the penetration of his transcendence energy. In the end, he easily broke through that obstruction and saw the sealed state of Charcoal's body. He locked onto the Yao Core that was tightly wrapped up by the internal organs.
Charcoal's stomach secreted a mysterious substance that was gradually corroding the Yao Core. Miao Yi's transcendence energy could sense that the Yao Core's energy was being slowly absorbed by Charcoal.
"Eh!" Miao Yi exclaimed in surprise, "Senior Yao, can dragon steeds refine Yao Cores?"
"Hmm …" Yao Ruoxian was pondering what excuse he should use to fool the other party. When he heard Miao Yi's words, he turned around, "Hmm?"
He walked over with a stunned expression, and asked doubtfully, "Refine Yao Cores?"
"You don't know?" Miao Yi was stunned, and said, "You'll know once you take a look."
Yao Ruoxian wore a doubtful expression, and once again pressed his hand on Charcoal's body to probe. The result was the same as before. His transcendence energy couldn't penetrate Charcoal's body at all. He tried asking, "Have you found the location of that Yao Core?"
"It's in its constricted stomach!"
"Hmm?" Yao Ruoxian wanted to say, 'Who are you trying to fool?'
However, he rolled his eyes and chuckled. He understood. This brat probably knew that he couldn't afford to offend him, and was taking the opportunity to find a way out of this embarrassing situation.
Thinking he understood, Yao Ruoxian nodded and said, "That's right. It's refining the Yao Core."
In reality, the two of them were completely at odds with each other.
Withdrawing his hand, Miao Yi looked at the snoring Charcoal, and asked curiously, "Senior Yao, why is it like this?"
Since this brat was tactful, Yao Ruoxian thought he might as well go with the flow. It wouldn't do anyone any good to have a falling out.
He stood up, and put his hands behind his back, pretending to be an expert. "The reason why it's sleeping is naturally because it's concentrating on refining the Yao Core in its body."
"I've never heard of a dragon steed being able to refine a Yao Core before." Miao Yi also stood up and asked, "There won't be any problems, right?"
"There are unpredictable winds and clouds in the sky, and humans have their own fortunes and misfortunes. There's a chance that something might go wrong during cultivation. No one can guarantee that there won't be any problems. We'll see when the time comes," Yao Ruoxian replied calmly. With these words, even if something went wrong, he couldn't be blamed.
Qian'Er and Xue'Er looked at each other, speechless. 'Could it be that Master was really joking before? His acting was really convincing. They had to be more careful with Master's words in the future, and not get tricked again. '
"Senior Yao, why did you feed Charcoal the Yao Core?"
