1189 What a Complicated Relationship (1/2)

Whoosh!

Almost at the same time, a beautiful figure suddenly dashed up from the mountain below; it was a beautiful young woman. She looked at Xu Que in confusion and frowned slightly, ”Young Master Zhan, why aren't you speaking?”

”Uh, nothing. How's your preparation?” Xu Que immediately resumed Zhan Gaoli's usual expressions and even imitated the tone of his speech. He was curious. When he passed by, he hadn't discovered the existence of that woman. But when the woman appeared, he knew that the mountain was set up with spells and had concealed all forms of presence.

Now that the woman had taken the initiative to find him, Xu Que immediately began to perform. He wanted to find out what Zhan Gaoli was up to since he had actually set a time to meet with someone.

”How else can we prepare? We can only wait for them to ripen. According to what we've promised before, after three days, all the Aquamarine Kirin Fruits will be ripe, and the four fruits will be divided equally! But Young Master Zhan, you have returned once every two days. Is it that you don't trust me?” The young woman's gaze had a trace of seduction, as she accused Xu Que with a fleeting gaze.

Xu Que raised his eyebrows. Good fellow, I didn't know that this woman had a relationship with Zhan Gaoli too!

”Of course not. How could I not trust you?” Xu Que laughed and reached over for the young woman's small waist.

The young woman's expression changed slightly. She pushed Xu Que away. She whispered, ”Hey, they're still below. If they find out, our plan will be very hard to achieve!”

”Ha, ha, who asked you to be so attractive? How can I endure it?” Xu Que laughed again, but he didn't make any moves. He had basically understood the general situation. Obviously, Zhan Gaoli and the others had found an Aquamarine Kirin Tree together, but the fruits weren't ripe yet, so they concealed it with spells to prevent others from discovering it.

But the relationship between the woman and Zhan Gaoli wasn't simple; the two had other plans in secret. As for what that plan was, Xu Que could guess. It must be that the two wanted to pocket the Aquamarine Kirin Fruits without sharing.

”Since you're here, let's go down. There are only three days left. You should be more careful. If they discover us in advance, we'll be in trouble,” the woman reminded him again.

Xu Que nodded. ”Don't worry, with my strength, it will be easy to finish them off!”

”Humph, you have the cheek to say that. You know, every time I poisoned my husband these last few days, I was so frightened. Fortunately, your poison was tasteless enough, and he didn't expect that the woman who has accompanied him for decades would poison him, so he hasn't noticed it!” The woman rolled her eyes at Xu Que.

Xu Que gasped in surprise after hearing her.

This woman is so vicious that she colluded with Zhan Gaoli to poison her own husband!

D*mn it, this is simply a pirated version of Pan Jinlian and Wu Dalang, and my ”Zhan Gaoli” is a living Ximen Qing!

”Ha, ha, I had the confidence to entrust you with the task. All right, let's hurry up so that they won't be suspicious!” Xu Que responded casually and urged the woman to go down with him.

After all, he wasn't very clear about their plan now. If he continued to talk about the details of the plan, it would be embarrassing if he couldn't answer her questions, and the wicked woman would surely notice something was amiss.

Finally, under the guidance of the young woman, Xu Que performed a little Lightweight Art and landed among the mountains. The young woman opened the way for Xu Que, so he went through the spell smoothly. At last, he arrived at the middle of the spell Array. Only then did he realize that the foot of the mountain had a completely different environment. It was as desolate as the outside, but the Spiritual Qi was abundant at the foot of the mountain. In the center of a dry land, there was a giant tree which was tens of meters high. Its trunk was covered with dense veins that looked like a Kirin.

Of course, what was really precious about that tree were its fruits!

Aquamarine Kirin Fruit was a very rare Spiritual Fruit. Its growth environment was very demanding, but it was a natural medicinal item. For the cultivators in the Human Celestial Stage, it was a precious treasure. It could increase an enormous amount of Celestial Core Power to achieve breakthrough in the Cultivation Stage. Simply said, an Aquamarine Kirin Fruit was equivalent to a cultivator in the Human Celestial Stage practicing for 500 years in Secluded Meditation; it was extremely valuable!
