"Yes!" The two women hurriedly answered and nodded. They rose into the air and floated to Yan Beihong's side. Then, they landed on the chains that bound his limbs.
The steel needle stuck in Yan Beihong's body bounced off and flew into Hong Fu's storage ring. Crimson blood slowly flowed from the tip of the needle.
As soon as the steel needles were pulled out and the restriction on his acupoints were released, Yan Beihong raised his head and exhaled a long breath. Transcendence energy began to surge around his body, and his messy long hair began to flutter even though there was no wind. Combined with the desperate situation he was in, it was a very strange sight.
Miao Yi was still standing there with his sword in hand. He understood the purpose of those steel needles. They were forcefully placing a restriction on Yan Beihong's body. Otherwise, with Yan Beihong's cultivation, it would be very difficult for him to be restrained with just these chains alone. Even the mountain would crumble if he were to pull on it. They wouldn't be able to hold Yan Beihong.
If Yan Beihong were to run out while his mind was in a state of confusion, his intelligence would be worrisome, and it would be very easy for him to fall into the hands of others.
"Sir, these are the 30,000 Fretless Fruits that Lord Miao urgently prepared for you." Hong Xiu took out the Fretless Fruits and prepared to feed Yan Beihong.
Yan Beihong snorted coldly. "Who told you to look for Brother Miao? I told you that you would alert him if you went. "
Hong Xiu silently lowered her head and said, "We really had no other choice. We couldn't find any Fretless Fruits anywhere in the Six Nations' Chamber of Commerce. How could we just watch as Milord was in danger? After thinking about it, we could only look for Lord Miao for help. Fortunately, Lord Miao is very resourceful and managed to get thirty thousand Fretless Fruits for Milord."
Unexpectedly, Miao Yi snorted again, "Big Brother Yan, your Hong Xiu is quite bold. I was in closed-door training, but she dared to run over and forcibly open the door for me. If it weren't for Big Brother Yan, I would have killed her on the spot."
"How dare you!" Yan Beihong shouted at Hong Xiu.
Hong Xiu lowered her head and said nothing. It could be said that she was at a loss. However, Yan Beihong soon burst into laughter and said, "Brother, she was just anxious to save me. Don't bother with a servant like her."
Miao Yi said, "It's good that you know. She even knocked her head on the ground in front of me to save you, so you shouldn't blame her anymore."
Hong Xiu immediately looked at Miao Yi with gratitude. She understood that Miao Yi was actually helping her by criticizing her.
Yan Beihong burst into laughter and asked, "Hong Fu, how long have I been muddle-headed this time?"
"Sir, it has been ten days," Hong Fu replied.
"The duration is getting longer and longer," Yan Beihong sighed. He then asked Miao Yi, "Little Brother, when I came to my senses just now, I knew that this Fretless Fruit was already out of stock in the market. Not only that, but its price was also ridiculously high. How did you manage to get thirty thousand of them in such a short time? Could he have gone to the Western Constellations Palace again? "
He had guessed it. Miao Yi didn't hide it, "When Hong Xiu found me, she said the more, the better. Moreover, she urged me urgently, saying that it was related to your life and death. She simply didn't give me any leeway. Most people wouldn't store such a large amount of it. Only the Western Constellations Palace would have such a possibility. What else can I do other than look for Fu Qing? "
Upon hearing this, Hong Xiu and Hong Fu looked at him, their faces filled with gratitude again. It wasn't that the two of them hadn't thought of going to the Western Constellations Palace, but they were afraid that even getting close to it would be difficult. Not to mention. Why would he supply so many Fretless Fruits to you? The two of them couldn't afford to buy more either. Even if you were willing to sacrifice yourself to him, he wouldn't even bother with you. Would he be lacking in these things? There was no reason for him to give you so many Fretless Fruits for no reason at all.
The two ladies couldn't even fathom how Miao Yi managed to obtain so many Fretless Fruits from the Western Constellations Palace.
"Hehe!" Yan Beihong threw his head back and laughed heartily. When he was done, he shook his head and said, "You're quite bold. You actually dared to go to the Western Constellations Palace. Do you think someone like Fu Qing would want to meet you? Even if he did, there's no way he wouldn't know the current market price of Fretless Fruits. Thirty thousand of them. I'm afraid even if you and I worked together, we wouldn't be able to afford it. You must have paid a huge price for these Fretless Fruits, didn't you? "
"That's not important! There's no point talking about this now. You don't have much time to be conscious right now. There's a lot of time for confusion. Don't waste my time. "Miao Yi nodded at the two ladies and said," What are you two hesitating for? "
Hong Fu immediately said to Yan Beihong, "Milord, Lord Miao has a point. Let's eat the Fretless Fruits first. I'll go and stand guard!"
Standing with both hands on his sword, Miao Yi said, "There's no need. Just focus on serving your master. I'll stand guard here. If anyone dares to trespass, I'll kill them all! "
Yan Beihong gave Miao Yi a slight nod, indicating that he'd have to trouble him. He then took a deep breath and opened his mouth wide. Hong Xiu hurriedly fed him the fruits. Yan Beihong gulped them down one by one without even chewing. He forcefully swallowed dozens of them in one go, causing his stomach to swell. The chains binding his ribs began to bleed again.
When he closed his eyes, the two ladies immediately descended to the ground.
Hovering in midair, Yan Beihong began to invoke his arts to refine the fruits. A gray mist began to rise from his body, then dissipated into nothingness. It was an endless stream, but it wasn't a real gray mist. It was more like an illusion.
Half a day later, Yan Beihong opened his eyes again. Hong Xiu floated up to him again and continued feeding him Fretless Fruits, repeating the process over and over again.
This went on for another half a month. Miao Yi was secretly shocked. He had already digested one to two thousand Fretless Fruits, but the illusory gray mist still hadn't dissipated. Just how much was stored in Yan Beihong's body?
However, the effects of the Fretless Fruits were obvious. Yan Beihong didn't experience any more strange occurrences while he was refining them.
Seeing that Miao Yi had been waiting here all this time, Yan Beihong gave an order and had Hong Fu prepare some food and wine.
Inside the chained cave, there was a long table and a stool. Miao Yi sat there and slowly ate and drank, while Hong Fu served him wine by his side ….
They stayed in the cave for half a year. Half a year later, they had used up all thirty thousand Fretless Fruits, but the substance emitted from Yan Beihong's body didn't seem to have weakened in the slightest.
Miao Yi stood under the chains with a dark expression. Facing Yan Beihong, he said, "Fu Qing only has around a thousand Fretless Fruits left. He kept them as a backup, so I can't force him to take them out. I'm afraid there won't be any more Fretless Fruits in the market for the next hundred years. Fu Qing doesn't have any more for the time being. We can only wait for the next batch of Fretless Fruits to be produced."
Hong Xiu and Hong Fu both knelt in front of him and pleaded, "Lord Miao, you're a very resourceful person. Please think of another way."
Miao Yi pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "There should still be some people in the cultivation realm who have them. I'll think of another way. I'll try and see if I can force Fu Qing to take them out as well."
"There's no need to trouble yourself." Yan Beihong suddenly stopped him, then turned to the two ladies and said, "Get up, you two. Don't make things difficult for your Lord Miao anymore. Bind him up!"
Miao Yi said, "Big Brother Yan, you don't have to give up on yourself. I'll think of another way. There's bound to be a way to solve this."
Yan Beihong sighed. "Little Brother, there's really no need to trouble yourself. I know my own body's condition better than anyone else. Even if Fu Qing managed to get his hands on a thousand Fretless Fruits, it would still be useless. Even if other people in the cultivation realm have them, they'll only use them when they're breaking through to the next realm. Normally, no one would keep them. Now that there's no stock on the market, and the price is ridiculously high, why would they give it to you so easily? If they gave it to you, what would they use for themselves? They might not even be able to buy it even if they were willing to pay a high price. The only way you'll be able to buy it is by force. If you take too little, it'll be useless to me. But if you take too much, do you want to make the entire world your enemy? "
Miao Yi said, "You don't have to worry about that. I'll think of something myself."
Yan Beihong shook his head and said, "It's useless. After a few attempts, I've finally understood. Right now, I'm nothing more than a living breeding vessel. As long as I don't empty my body in one go, they'll be able to use my body to rapidly grow again. Even if you manage to go out and steal some, by the time you return, my body will be filled with those messy things. I'm already beyond saving. I can sense that if I don't have the Fretless Fruit to neutralize the things in my body within half a month, I'll definitely lose control of my will. I'll have to break through to the Golden Lotus realm. When that happens, I won't be human anymore. I won't be myself anymore. I'll be a demon. A true demon! "
"Half a month?" Miao Yi furrowed his brows. He was lying when he said he was going to find someone to get the Fretless Fruit. Instead, he wanted to go to the outside world and look for a solution. However, it would take almost a month for him to travel back and forth from the outside world. He still had to look for a solution, and if he found a solution, he still had to think of a way to get the Fretless Fruit. Half a month wouldn't make it. Miao Yi couldn't help asking, "Can't you hold on a little longer?"
"You've never experienced it before, so you don't know. If I can't hold on, I can at most hold on for a few more days. But what's the point of that?" Yan Beihong sighed and said, "Little Brother, just wait here for a while. If I really break through to the Golden Lotus realm and become a demon, just kill me. Hong Xiu and Hong Fu won't be able to bring themselves to do it."
As soon as he said this, Hong Xiu and Hong Fu immediately teared up.
Miao Yi said, "There's no need to be so pessimistic. I'll think of another way."
"Take your time to think of a way. You have to promise me that if I become a demon, kill me immediately. If I, Yan Beihong, lose my sense of self and become someone else, then there's no point in me living anymore. It's just death. There's nothing to fear. Just do it! It's just that I can't let go of those two … "Yan Beihong looked down at Hong Xiu and Hong Fu, then suddenly raised his voice and said," Listen up, the two of you. My death will serve as a warning to you, proving that there's no way out of this path. Immediately stop cultivating that cultivation art and follow your Lord Miao. From now on, treat Lord Miao as if he's my servant. For my sake, your Lord Miao will definitely not mistreat the two of you. "
He tilted his head to look at Miao Yi and said, "Little Brother, the two of them have been with me for many years. They're completely loyal to me. They're like my wife and daughter. If you still remember our friendship over the years, then treat them as your handmaidens. You can hit them, scold them, take them as your bed, and sleep with them. They're not bad looking either, and their cultivation is also strong enough to help you out. As long as they haven't done anything wrong to you, don't mistreat them for my sake. I know how capable you are, Little Brother. I've always been a straightforward person, so I'm not as flexible or as tactful as you are. As long as you're willing, I believe you can take care of them without any problems. "
"Let's not talk about these useless things for now." Miao Yi furrowed his brows and asked, "Big Brother Yan, what exactly is inside your body? Let's get to the bottom of this first so I can think of a way to deal with it. "
Yan Beihong sighed, "What else could it be? It's probably the seven emotions and six sensory pleasures that have accumulated over the years. They've already turned into evil thoughts in my body."
Miao Yi exclaimed, "Seven emotions and six sensory pleasures? Why didn't you say so earlier? "
