Seeing how generous he was, Miao Yi felt a little awkward. Before, he had flown into a rage without understanding the situation. It seemed like he had gone overboard, so he felt a little embarrassed.
It was one thing to apologize to the old man. That old man was shameless enough. Miao Yi didn't want to take advantage of the situation.
Miao Yi left these words behind, "Qian'Er, Xue'Er. Call me when Charcoal wakes up."
"Stop. Don't be in such a hurry to leave."
Yao Ruoxian called out to Miao Yi, who wanted to pretend nothing had happened and avoid the awkwardness.
Miao Yi turned around and smiled, "Senior Yao, is there something you need?"
"You're not going to care about the two of them?" Yao Ruoxian pointed at Qian'Er and Xue'Er, "They already have the ability to control transcendent artifacts. Aren't you going to leave some transcendent artifacts for them to protect themselves?"
Miao Yi was speechless for a while. He looked at the two girls and asked, "What transcendent artifacts do you want?"
The two girls shook their heads and waved their hands, "No!"
"The two of them are shy. They wouldn't dare to ask for it from you. I'm the one asking for it on their behalf." Yao Ruoxian was very direct. He didn't beat around the bush and asked, "Are you going to give it to them or not?"
Miao Yi asked suspiciously, "You want to help them ask for a transcendent artifact?"
"It's simple. Give me some materials. I'll help them refine an Inversed-Scales Spear each. You provide the materials, and I'll refine it. Is that good enough?" Yao Ruoxian waved his hand generously.
"Inversed-Scales Spear …" Miao Yi asked suspiciously, "Why do you insist on the Inversed-Scales Spear?"
Yao Ruoxian retorted, "They like using spears. Can't you do that? Do you really want to force them to ask for something they don't like? "
Miao Yi was speechless. He looked at the two girls again, and they hurriedly waved their hands, "No, no."
"What do you mean no? Do you expect someone to always be by your side to protect you? There will always be a time when you're alone and in danger. "Yao Ruoxian reprimanded the two girls. He then looked at Miao Yi and asked," Am I right? "
Miao Yi pondered for a moment. Yao Ruoxian's words made sense. Just like when Yuan Zhengkun attacked East Arrival Cave, if it weren't for Chen Fei's secret protection, the two girls would have been humiliated to death like the other handmaidens. They should be given some ability to protect themselves. Otherwise, there wouldn't be people who would always come to their rescue at the critical moment.
With a slight nod, he took out three First Grade Transcendent Artifacts from his storage ring. Combined, they were enough to refine two Inversed-Scales Spears. He also took out two First Grade Yao Cores. There were also a few pieces of Red Blaze Resin, and they were all given to Yao Ruoxian.
Unexpectedly, Yao Ruoxian put away the items, then stretched out his hand and said, "That's not enough. Take out some more."
"Not enough?" Miao Yi glared at him and said, "Don't try to fool me. I know exactly how much materials are needed to refine an Inversed-Scales Spear."
"Do you think that with their strength? Was it enough to protect himself with just a gun? I will also refine some talismans for each of them, so that they can save their lives in times of need. "Yao Ruoxian continued to extend his hand.
"Talisman …" Miao Yi was stunned. "I don't even have such a thing."
"It doesn't matter whether you have them or not. Can their strength compare to yours? You alone are able to kill your way in and out of a group of one to two hundred people. Currently, it would be difficult for the two of them to deal with a single White Lotus First Grade cultivator together. Qian'Er and Xue'Er, do you see that? To put it bluntly, the two of you are his for the rest of your lives. Even your bodies are his, yet he isn't willing to give you anything that can save your lives. I say, in the future, you two … "
"Senior Yao!" Miao Yi was sweating profusely. He hurriedly interrupted, not letting him continue to sow discord. "What other materials do you need?"
"Take out another twenty First Grade Yao Cores, and …"
"Twenty?" Miao Yi exclaimed and interrupted again, "Do you think I …"
"Qian'Er and Xue'Er …" Yao Ruoxian immediately turned around and continued to sow discord between master and servant.
"Can I give them to you?!" Miao Yi was afraid of him. With a dark expression, he took out twenty First Grade Yao Cores.
In the end, it wasn't enough. Yao Ruoxian exploited a pile of demonic beast skins and a few dozen Blaze Resins from him before letting him go.
Miao Yi could be said to have fled. He hurriedly ran back to his silent quarters to continue his closed-door cultivation. If he stayed any longer, he was worried that even his pants would be ripped off.
Yao Ruoxian was satisfied with the pile of items he had obtained. He walked over to the two restless girls and said proudly, "I wasn't wrong, was I? Even though this brat isn't much of a person, he's still quite nice to his own people. You can tell from how he treats his mount. When I ask for something from him using the two of you as an excuse, he immediately obediently gives it to me. Your Master has fought for so many benefits for the two of you. Shouldn't you be thanking me?! "
The two girls had no intention of thanking him. The two of them hadn't been in the cultivation realm for just a day or two. Naturally, they knew that the items Yao Ruoxian had extorted from him were worth a lot of money. Both of them were very uneasy about it.
"Master, let's return them to Master. We don't usually need so many things." Qian'Er said guiltily.
Yao Ruoxian had his own reasons to brush them off. He sighed and said, "Little girl, there's nothing to feel guilty about. Even your bodies are his. Aren't your things his too? Once you have better things, you'll be able to work for him better in the future, right? You don't want to become a burden to him in the future, do you? Why would he have the time to save you all the time? "
His words seemed to make sense. The two girls did want to be of greater use and help Miao Yi accomplish more important things. At the very least, they wanted to be like the Elder Auntie and Little Auntie by the Manor Head's side. Rumor had it that the Elder Auntie and Little Auntie had followed the Manor Head into battle and were very powerful. As for the two of them, Miao Yi didn't even dare to send them on long journeys for fear of danger.
Without any burden on her mind, Xue'Er tried asking again, "Master, I don't like to use spears. Can I use a sword?"
Yao Ruoxian immediately smacked her on the forehead. Xue Er cried out in pain and rubbed her forehead with all her might.
"Are you stupid?!" Yao Ruoxian pointed at her nose and reprimanded, "Do you know what's the most powerful thing about that brat? Most people think it's the transcendent artifacts on his body that are powerful. Wrong, it's that amazing spear art! With a spear in hand, he dares to dominate an army of thousands. I've lived for a long time, but I've never seen such a powerful group attack spear art. I don't even know how he managed to cultivate it. That brat's cultivation is too low right now, so he can't unleash the true might of this spear art. When his cultivation increases in the future, then it'll be truly domineering. Wouldn't it be a waste to not learn such a great technique? Let me tell you, transcendent artifacts are easy to refine, but not everyone has the chance to learn a great skill. If you use a sword, then you'll really miss out on this opportunity. Others can't even learn a thing or two from him even if they wanted to. But for the two of you who are his personal handmaidens — not outsiders, but his women — this is a great opportunity. Silly girls, listen to me. Once the spear is refined, then you can carry it in front of him and pretend to be pitiful. That brat can't just stand by and watch the two of you carry a useless' fire stick '. When the time comes, he'll have to teach you a thing or two! "
The two girls were terrified. They realized that this Master of theirs only knew how to deceive others, especially when the target of his deception was their own Master...
Curled up under the eaves, Charcoal was still in a deep sleep. Miao Yi was still rather worried about his condition, so he came out to check on him almost every ten days.
After a full two months, Yao Ruoxian, Qian'Er, and Xue'Er realized that Miao Yi had stayed longer than usual this time. He crouched beside Charcoal, his hand constantly pressing on Charcoal's abdomen.
At this moment, Yao Ruoxian was a little apprehensive. He realized that this brat was really good at acting. Could it be that he could really break through the mysterious power in the fat bastard's body and see what was going on in his abdomen? That was impossible. Even with his cultivation, he couldn't do it.
However, he still leaned over and pretended to be concerned. "What's wrong?"
Crouching beside Charcoal, Miao Yi furrowed his brows. "That Yao Core has been completely refined. I don't know if it will wake up."
"Huh?" Yao Ruoxian wondered if it was true. Filled with suspicion, he crouched down and tried to probe again.
As usual, he still couldn't see what was going on.
But just as he was about to pull his hand back, his brows couldn't help but twitch. He suddenly realized that the mysterious power in Charcoal's body had loosened, and couldn't help but probe again.
The mysterious power in Charcoal's body had indeed loosened, and was gradually disappearing. Yao Ruoxian could also gradually probe the situation in Charcoal's body once more.
Charcoal's rapidly beating heart was slowing down, and so was the rapidly circulating blood throughout his body. The tightly shut acupoints in his body were slowly opening up, and the tightly bunched up intestines were also slowly loosening up. That mysterious power was gradually disappearing without a trace.
Miao Yi and Yao Ruoxian turned to look at each other at almost the same time. Miao Yi was still fine, but Yao Ruoxian was looking at Miao Yi with eyes filled with shock.
Yao Ruoxian didn't seem to know what to say. The situation was just as this brat had said. Could it be that this brat was really able to probe the situation in the fat bastard's body? How was that possible?
Just as Charcoal's heavy breathing gradually calmed down, and everything in his body returned to normal, his eyes, which had been tightly shut for two months, suddenly opened.
But in an instant, they released a frighteningly demonic red glow, and were brimming with a demonic aura.
Both of his eyes were completely red, so red that they were glowing. It seemed a little … human. Miao Yi and Yao Ruoxian were so shocked that they quickly stood up and took a step back.
Charcoal's snake tail flicked, and he lifted his head to look at the two of them. With a swish, he scuttled up, his four hooves making sounds as he shook his head and wagged his tail. Seeing Miao Yi, who had been in closed-door cultivation for a long time, he seemed to be a little happy, and his head snuggled up to Miao Yi.
Miao Yi and Yao Ruoxian both retreated, and stared at Charcoal's demonic red eyes. They were a little afraid to let Charcoal come closer.
At the bottom of the stairs, Qian'Er and Xue'Er were also staring at Charcoal with widened eyes.
Charcoal didn't seem to notice his abnormality at all. Seeing Miao Yi avoiding him, he seemed to be a little confused, and sneezed loudly at Miao Yi.
However, the demonic red glow in his eyes was slowly fading away, and his crimson eyes were also gradually returning to normal.
Miao Yi and Yao Ruoxian looked at each other, then turned back to carefully examine Charcoal. He didn't seem to be much different from before, except that he had become thinner.
Even though he was still very fat, he no longer looked as bloated as he used to be.
Charcoal once again moved forward. This time, Miao Yi didn't retreat, and allowed his head to rub against his chest. Miao Yi also reached out to stroke Charcoal's head.
