Chapter 1264: Heh, Women!

"Little sister, oh little sister, do not disappoint your elder brother!" Yi Fang laughed coldly in his heart, his gaze fixed unblinkingly on the front.

At this moment, within the white mist, Yi Xin'er had already controlled her injuries, and some color had slightly returned to her face.

Liu Jingning and Mo Junchen also stepped forward; Mo Junchen was fine, pretending to know nothing with a blank expression, while Liu Jingning frowned, staring intently at Yi Xin'er.

She knew Yi Xin'er's plan, and although she herself had once been hailed as a Demoness across the Four Great Continents, she still felt a chill in her heart regarding Yi Xin'er; hiding poison within one's own body to harm others—such a ruthless method, Liu Jingning asked herself if she could ever do it!

Under normal circumstances, she might have admired Yi Xin'er, but now that Yi Xin'er was targeting Xu Que, it was hard for her to show any favorable expression!

However, this display of hers not only failed to arouse Yi Xin'er's suspicion but instead made Yi Xin'er even more convinced that there was a relationship between Liu Jingning and Xu Que's father.

A woman's intuition is the most terrifying thing; she felt that her appearance had already brought a sense of crisis to Liu Jingning.

"Young lady, who exactly injured you? Tell this old man, and I will root out evil and eliminate treachery for you!" At this moment, Xu Que stepped forward, one hand supporting Yi Xin'er's willow-like waist, asking with righteous indignation.

Yi Xin'er's body stiffened slightly, yet nothing showed on her face; shaking her head with a pitiful expression, she said, "Senior, you do not know; this humble woman came here with my clan brother to collect Spirit Medicine, but unexpectedly, in order to monopolize the Spirit Medicine, they severely injured me, intending to leave me here to live or die on my own. Had I not encountered several of you, I fear this humble woman would hardly have survived to leave."

As she spoke this, her hands had already rested on Xu Que's chest, and immediately after, she buried her head into Xu Que's embrace, crying like a pear blossom drenched in rain.

This sudden outburst of crying left Xu Que and the others somewhat caught off guard!

This crying scene was just too damn melodramatic!

But just then, on the palm of Yi Xin'er's hand pressed tightly against Xu Que's chest, the fingernails of her ten fingertips suddenly melted, forming ten slender Black Thread Worms that bored directly toward Xu Que's chest.

This was a backup plan Yi Fang had given her; the Black Thread Worm is an extremely toxic object that, since childhood, has fed on Yin-Breaking Root Poison to grow; once it bores into the body, it hides in the dead corners of the Meridians, continuously releasing Toxic Poison, causing one to unknowingly have their cultivation ruined.

Of course, this process is lengthy; to avoid detection by Cultivators, it may take several decades or even a hundred years before effects begin to appear.

But this was merely a backup plan adopted to prevent Plan B from failing, ensuring they could destroy "Xu Que's father" with absolute certainty!

"Oh my, young lady, please do not cry; your crying makes this old man's maiden heart ache!" At this moment, Xu Que, with a face full of heartache, stroked Yi Xin'er's head, speaking with pity.

Yi Xin'er continued to lie in his embrace "crying," but in her heart, she was already sneering with utter disdain!

Crying until your heart aches? Heh, ignorant old immortal, the black worms must have entered your body by now!

If it were not for achieving the Yaochi Holy Maiden's Seat, if it were not for flying wing-to-wing with Brother Yi Fang, how could I, a heavenly favored daughter of the illustrious Shennong Clan, ever lean against such a disgusting old thing as you?

Liu Jingning is blind, able to fancy even a rotten old head like you, but I, Yi Xin'er, am different; the only one capable of mastering me, Yi Xin'er, is my elder brother Yi Fang!

Today I endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens; tomorrow I shall step upon your corpse to ascend the peak!

"Boohoo, Senior... seek justice for me!"

There was a hint of coquettishness in Yi Xin'er's crying voice, her plea mixed with spoiled acting as she spoke to Xu Que.

"Seeking justice for you is no problem, but... can you go 'ying ying ying'?" Xu Que asked with a beaming smile.

He had already lost interest in Yi Xin'er's terrible acting; the performance was too exaggerated, reeking of brothel vibes, lacking immersion, and was just too damn nauseating!

"What is 'ying ying ying'?" Yi Xin'er was stunned, lifting her head slightly, her misty eyes gazing up at Xu Que from below.

At this moment, her cheek was less than a few hairbreadths away from Xu Que; exhaling a fragrant orchid scent, her breath, carrying a sweet aroma, brushed against Xu Que's neck.

The corners of Xu Que's mouth rose slightly; shaking his head, he said, "This expression is quite good, very spot-on, so there's no need for 'ying ying ying.' Just tell me, how do you want this old man to seek justice for you?"

Yi Xin'er still lay prostrate on Xu Que's chest, her beauty hiding the moon and shaming the flowers, acting like a little bird dependent on a person.

"Please, Senior, take this humble woman away from this place; if one day you can avenge this humble woman, I am willing to serve you for my entire life!" she spoke softly.

"What? Young lady, such words cannot be spoken lightly; this old man has long since established a family and career, my children at home are already as old as you; how would it look to let you serve me? Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!" Xu Que, with a face full of "shock," waved his hands repeatedly.

Yet Yi Xin'er still leaned tightly against his chest, tears sliding down her eyes: "Then... then what should this humble woman do? Since childhood, I have been all alone and pitiful, suffering endless bullying, never having met someone who treats this humble woman as well as Senior has; please, Senior, take me in!"

"Sigh, you are truly making things difficult for this old man!"

Xu Que sighed with a face full of difficulty; after hesitating slightly and delaying for a moment, he finally continued speaking: "How about this old man becomes your Godfather Gan? What do you say?"

"Good! Xin'er pays respects to Godfather Gan; please, Godfather Gan, seek justice for me!" Yi Xin'er immediately responded with a face full of joy, incomparably enchanting.

At the same time, outside the white mist, Yi Fang, seeing this scene, already wore a smile, believing victory was in his grasp.

"Everything is settled; although Little Sister did not become his daughter-in-law, becoming his goddaughter is not far from success; it is time for us to leave!" Yi Fang spoke.

The others were instantly startled: "Leave? Then what about the Resurrection Thousand Gold Vine? Are we to return empty-handed like this?"

"Rest assured; once we return to the clan and explain everything, I believe they will all understand. Moreover, now that the Two Elders are already dead, who among you can guarantee that we can safely and smoothly bring the Resurrection Thousand Gold Vine back?" Yi Fang smiled with solemnity.

Hearing this, the several Guardians immediately fell silent.

Then one of them nodded: "Yi Fang makes a point; if we take the Resurrection Thousand Gold Vine out and it gets robbed halfway, returning to the clan would mean having faults rather than merits. It is better to return now while the Restriction has not yet activated; plus, we have already placed Xin'er by Xu Que's father's side, which counts as a great merit!"

"Mm, that is indeed so. Besides, the Restriction has not activated yet; even if this place has been exposed, they cannot take the Resurrection Thousand Gold Vine away in the short term. Furthermore, Xin'er should also lure Xu Que's father away; once we return to the clan, we can invite several Great Elders of the clan to personally come and move this entire Secret Realm!"

In the end, the other Guardians nodded one after another, approving this proposal.

"Come, tell Godfather, who is your enemy?" At this moment, Xu Que's voice came from within the white mist.

The several members of the Shennong Clan had already decided to leave, but subconsciously turned their heads to take a look.

At this moment, Yi Xin'er had already left Xu Que's embrace, standing pitifully to the side with her head lowered as she replied: "Godfather, actually Xin'er is a member of the Shennong Clan, but for so many years, Xin'er has suffered endless humiliation within the clan; several clan brothers often beat and kicked Xin'er..."

"Eh, wait a moment, what did you just say? Where are you from?" Before she finished speaking, Xu Que abruptly interrupted.

This left Yi Xin'er slightly stunned, and Yi Fang's group outside the thick mist also listened in bewilderment.

This doesn't seem to be the main point, does it?

"Godfather, Xin'er is a member of the Shennong Clan, but in reality, they have never treated Xin'er as family, and Xin'er also towards them..." Yi Xin'er could only continue speaking.

Whoosh!

Before she finished speaking, Xu Que's figure suddenly shifted; gripping a Longsword in his hand, a cold beam of light flashed, instantly piercing through Yi Xin'er's chest!

"Hmph, you dare deceive this old man! The Shennong Clan once gifted this old man the Resurrection Thousand Gold Vine; how could such generous people be bad guys? This old man will not be swayed by your instigation. Die!"

As his voice fell, the Sword in Xu Que's hand burst forth with immense Immortal Yuan, instantly draining all the Life Force within Yi Xin'er's body!

Until the very moment her breath ceased, Yi Xin'er's face was still covered with an expression of Disbelief, truly unable to comprehend why this old man would kill her like this!

Outside the white mist, Yi Fang and the others were completely dumbfounded, utterly confused, frozen stiff in place!

"Heh, women!"

At the same time, Xu Que let out a cold smile, shook his body, and the clothes on his upper body instantly shattered, revealing robust muscle lines; on his skin, which glowed with a faint Golden Beam, ten Black Thread Worms hung, stuck fast in the gaps between his muscles, already crushed to death!

The crooked "Saint Body" characters on his chest seemed especially dazzling at this moment!
