Chapter 187: Xue Di the Extortionist

Before the word "Mom" was even finished, Su Yu subconsciously realized something was wrong and immediately stopped his mouth.

"You, you, you..." On Xue Di's stunningly beautiful face, a flush immediately spread at a speed visible to the naked eye, "You are not my mom!"

"You really did know about that!" Su Yu subconsciously took a big step back, looking vigilantly at Xue Di, who looked like a cat with its fur standing on end.

"You, you, you..."

For a moment, the situation fell into a bizarre atmosphere. Watching Xue Di's flustered appearance, a sense of absurdity couldn't help but rise in Su Yu's heart.

"Shut up, you aren't allowed to laugh, don't say another word!" Watching Su Yu's expression, which was trying to laugh but holding it back, Xue Di only felt ashamed and angry enough to die.

If it had only been Su Yu alone at the time, that would be one thing, but there were actually other Beasts present; to be precise, it should be all the Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest...

"I didn't, I wasn't, don't talk nonsense!" Su Yu looked at Xue Di with righteous indignation, desperately suppressing the laughter in his heart...

"Get out..." Xue Di stared fiercely at Su Yu, biting her silver teeth.

"You got it!"

Su Yu slipped out of the Spirit Sea quite decisively. Who could have predicted that Xue Di would open her mouth and say "Mom" back then? This really wasn't his fault.

"Why didn't you stop me!" Xue Di's ashamed and angry voice rang out in Su Yu's mind.

"I tried, but I failed. However, if I had you..." Su Yu carefully recalled the situation at the time. Thinking about it now, with the surprised gazes of those many Beasts, it was no wonder Xue Di had her fur stand on end back then.

"Shut up, don't say any more, if you say another word, I'll beat you to death!!" Xue Di now felt as if her seven hundred thousand years of majesty had all been buried at the hands of this detestable human.

Su Yu: "............"

Is she being a sore loser? Who was the one who blurted it out in the first place? It couldn't even be stopped. Now that she's done it herself, she won't let anyone talk about it. Is there any justice left? Is there any reason left?

"Alright, alright, we're both adults hundreds of thousands of years old, don't dwell on such meaningless things. Come out and handle the matter of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. If you don't show yourself, I think the time it will take for me to reach the Extreme North will likely be even later, so you wouldn't want to see your clansmen even later, would you?"

Su Yu put away his joking heart; the thing to do now was to engage in blatant extortion.

To put it bluntly, it was daylight robbery.

"Then, then what should I..." Xue Di paused, clearly still not having recovered from that shy state, "What should I do?"

"You just need to come out; I will use Spirit Power to tell you the specific details."

Su Yu withdrew his consciousness from the Spirit Sea and returned to reality.

"So, have you two finished discussing?" the Apricot Fairy asked timidly.

Xue Di's figure appeared once again, her pair of highly oppressive, beautiful eyes looking at the Apricot Fairy, "So, does his assessment count as passed?"

"It doesn't, he hasn't even started the test yet..." The Apricot Fairy shook its head.

"Hmm?" Xue Di's voice suddenly rose by several degrees.

The Apricot Fairy was frightened by that one sentence from Xue Di and immediately chose to submit, "Passed! Passed! Of course it passed! How could it not have passed!"

"Give me half of your origin power, and also give me half of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass's origin power, otherwise I will destroy this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well today!"

Xue Di's powerful aura suppressed all the Soul Beasts in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Although her power was not even half of her peak period, here, she was the ruler!

"Can it not be that much? I only managed to cultivate it with such difficulty..." The Apricot Fairy looked at Xue Di with a wronged expression, seemingly extremely unwilling to hand over half of its origin.

Under Xue Di's intimidation, the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass also extremely reluctantly handed over its origin power.

"Can I not give that much? I spent over ten thousand years cultivating it..." The Apricot Fairy shook its head in heartbreak.

"I'll give you two choices: first, I kill you and take all the origin power; second, you hand over half of your origin power to me yourself!" Killing intent bloomed in Xue Di's beautiful eyes as she reached out her jade hand toward the Apricot Fairy.

"Don't, don't do it, I'll give it, I'll give it..."

Having obtained the origin power, Xue Di didn't say a word, directly sending it into Su Yu's mouth, and then, amidst the surprised gazes of the many immortal herb Soul Beasts in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, threw Su Yu into the confluence of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

"What are you looking at? Take out half of your Qiluo Heart as well. If it weren't for the sake of this kid, I would take everything I could take; why would I need to discuss it with you!"

Xue Di looked at the Fragrant Silk Luo Immortal Herb shrinking into the soil in the distance, and with a flick of her jade hand, she brought it directly in front of her.

"I'll give it, I'll give it, let's talk this over..." The Fragrant Silk Luo Immortal Herb could fully understand the Flaming Apricot Beauty's feelings at this moment.

"Give me that book too!"

Su Yu was a human and would reason with them because Su Yu's strength was inferior to theirs.

But Xue Di was different; as long as she wanted to, all the immortal herbs here would not escape death!

The Fragrant Silk Luo Immortal Herb's pink petals trembled slightly, and a cluster of purple light slowly rose from its pistil.

This cluster of purple light looked very soft, without a hint of overbearing aura. It was just a purple bead the size of a cherry, looking very much like an amethyst, but inside that crystal-clear bead, one could faintly see a layer of light, like clouds and mist, pulsing slightly, which was very strange.

As half of the pill bead disappeared, a look of heartache also appeared on Youyou's face.

They never imagined, even in death, that ten thousand years later, the "fated person" mentioned by that person would actually bring a robber along.

Xue Di might not be good at extortion, but Su Yu was.

After obtaining the Qiluo Heart, Xue Di put it away, then strode off with her long legs and disappeared into the ice spring.

"Youyou, it's all your fault, why did you bring this human in..." Ajiao looked at Youyou with heartbreak.

"I didn't know he was carrying Xue Di on him! Who could have imagined that a human would carry a seven-hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast? This can't be blamed on me either; didn't I lose my Qiluo Heart too?" Youyou only felt aggrieved. It had finally waited for that fated person, but who knew the person would actually have a seven-hundred-thousand-year Xue Di with them...

Pain, it's too painful...

The Qiluo Heart it had managed to condense with such difficulty was just gone by half, and half of Ajiao and Bajiao's origin power was also gone...

Watching Su Yu, who had fallen into a deep sleep, the Apricot Fairy and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass had already secretly gathered many Soul Beasts and began to discuss subsequent matters.

However, no matter what they discussed, in the face of Xue Di's absolute strength, everything seemed so pale and powerless...

The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, an extremely cold floral species, can make people feel cold and numb the central nervous system. Within ten meters of this grass, the cold air is biting; if one stays for too long, the cold poison will attack the heart, and there is no cure.

The effect of the Apricot Fairy is exactly the opposite of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass. Although it is not a complete immortal herb, with their origin power, the effect is the same. After consuming both, the alternation of cold and heat erupts within the body. At this moment, Su Yu's face is already turning blue and red, and the blood in his body is surging.

In this state, Su Yu only feels that his body seems to be constantly being destroyed, and in the process of being destroyed, it is constantly being reorganized.

Under that extreme, brilliant pain, Su Yu almost fainted several times, but was awakened by Yi Lao.

"This is a great opportunity. If you can persist without fainting, then your Spirit Power will be greatly improved. Although there is a little risk, with me here, you can rest assured and do it. However..."

Speaking of this, Yi Lao paused, as if there was something he didn't want to say anymore.

"Yi Lao, just tell me straight." Su Yu said this while enduring the pain.

"If you won't collapse from being unable to bear the pain..."

After saying this, Su Yu regretted it; the pain that stimulated his brain every single moment was truly too easy to make one collapse.

Su Yu could completely endure pain for a short time, but what if it were an entire night, or a whole day?

During this long day, Su Yu fainted several times because he could not bear it, but he was awakened by Yi Lao each time; normally, humans would choose to let their consciousness fall into a coma to avoid this kind of pain, preventing their spirit from being unable to bear it and collapsing.

What Yi Lao was doing now was to make Su Yu use this pain to temper his Spirit Power; if Su Yu could persist through the whole process, then Su Yu's Spirit Power would climb once again.

Yi Lao naturally would not let Su Yu bear the pain completely from the start, choosing to let Su Yu increase his limit for bearing pain bit by bit, and increasing Su Yu's endurance bit by bit; only in this way could Su Yu's Spirit Power become more resilient.

Under the Control System of Yi Lao, the pain Su Yu could bear constantly increased, and finally, on the night of the second day, Su Yu was finally able to fully bear the pain without fainting.

Time is like water; from dawn to night, it is merely one cycle of the sun and moon. Sometimes, you close your eyes and open them, and a day has passed; you close your eyes and don't open them, and a lifetime has passed.

Time sometimes seems very long, yet it is so fleeting, but sometimes it feels like a day is like a year; this is how Su Yu feels now, and every minute and every second feels extremely long to him...

Night fell once again, the lamps were lit, and the area within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well fell into darkness once more. This was already the third day since Su Yu entered the spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well; if not for the fact that Su Yu still had vital signs, even Xue Di would have suspected whether Su Yu had been burst apart because he could not bear the medicinal power.

It was just that Su Yu now, whether it was his mental fluctuations or his vital signs, was incomparably weak.

A "once in a lifetime" series.
