Chapter 91: Dead monkey, don't mess around

~7 min read 1,325 words

Bypassing several houses, walking through several streets, and arriving at the alchemy room, Xu Que discovered that quite a few people were waiting at the door.

Besides the Great King of the Heavenly Demon Tribe, Su Ling'er, and the little red fox, Su Xiaoqi, there were also several Nascent Soul stage alien beings here.

Seeing Xu Que arrive, everyone frowned.

"Dead monkey, why are you so slow? Look, Xiao Yu is losing her temper again!" Su Xiaoqi scolded as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Creak!"

But as soon as she finished speaking, the door of the alchemy room was suddenly pushed open. Following that, Xiao Yu's head poked out from behind the door, her big watery eyes wide open. As soon as she saw Xu Que, she rushed out like a flash.

Under the horrified gazes of everyone, she threw herself into Xu Que's arms and began to act like a spoiled child.

"Monkey brother, Xiao Yu isn't losing her temper, Xiao Yu wants to listen to you play the zither and sing!"

"Call me Great Sage!" Xu Que rubbed her little head and laughed.

Xiao Yu immediately replied very obediently: "Great Sage brother!"

"..."

Everyone present was dumbfounded. What is going on? Is Xiao Yu possessed?

Even Su Ling'er became a bit suspicious.

Yesterday, although they also saw Xiao Yu's change after hearing the zither sound, that was a whole night ago, and Xiao Yu had just thrown a tantrum again. But as soon as Xu Que arrived, Xiao Yu became a different person and was so close to him. This was inevitably strange!

"Sister, could this dead monkey have used some evil technique to bewitch Xiao Yu?" Su Xiaoqi also whispered suspiciously, leaning against Su Ling'er.

Su Ling'er thought for a moment and shook her head: "It shouldn't be possible. We were all present yesterday, and that zither sound was indeed very beautiful. Maybe it touched Xiao Yu's heart."

"Hmph, this dead monkey... how can he do everything!" Su Xiaoqi pouted and snorted.

Xu Que seemed to sense something, swept a glance toward Su Xiaoqi's direction, and made a smug expression.

It immediately made Su Xiaoqi grit her teeth in hatred, wanting to rush over and bite Xu Que.

Xu Que raised the corner of his mouth, ignored her, and looked at Xiao Yu.

The reason Xiao Yu became so well-behaved when she saw him was indeed the effect of the zither sound. However, this effect wasn't bewitchment, but the zither sound really touched Xiao Yu's heart by mistake, triggering her childhood memories.

Thus, Xiao Yu vaguely found a feeling of a relative in Xu Que, which was why she was so well-behaved in front of him.

However, Xu Que also quite liked this child Xiao Yu, feeling like she was his own sister, both well-behaved and cute!

"Let's go, Xiao Yu, let's go refine pills. After refining the pills, I'll play the zither and sing for you."

"Okay, Great Sage brother!"

Xiao Yu replied very happily, her little hand gripping Xu Que's sleeve tightly, and walked toward the alchemy room with him.

The crowd outside who didn't understand the situation were all confused, their heads full of fog.

Someone looked at Su Ling'er and said with a bitter smile: "Great King, what... what is this situation?"

Su Ling'er shook her head and remained silent!

Xu Que and Xiao Yu entered the alchemy room. Looking inside, the alchemy room was very spacious, with many medicine wooden racks on the surrounding walls, and in the middle of the alchemy room was a bronze alchemy furnace.

The tripod had three legs, its surface was covered with many dense runes, emitting a mysterious and ancient aura, clearly quite old.

Xu Que was a bit eager to try, his gaze fell on Xiao Yu and he asked: "Xiao Yu, how about you be my medicine boy? I'll try the alchemy technique first."

"Great Sage brother, you can also refine pills?" Xiao Yu was surprised.

And the crowd outside the door all had their expressions change.

Su Xiaoqi ran in immediately: "Dead monkey, don't mess around, alchemy is not a joke."

"I know! It's because it's not a joke that I want to take action myself, let Xiao Yu learn some experience too." Xu Que said arrogantly.

"Alright, Xiao Yu will let Great Sage brother refine first!" Xiao Yu nodded very happily, not doubting Xu Que at all.

But the crowd outside the door was scared to death.

Alchemy is indeed not a joke. Once the heat cannot be controlled, refining waste pills is one thing, the key is that they are refining two-star pills now. If the mistake is too big, the alchemy furnace will explode. That kind of impact could almost destroy half of the Heavenly Demon Tribe.

So usually when Xiao Yu refines pills, these Nascent Soul stage experts have to guard outside. If Xiao Yu makes a mistake, they can make up for it in time and control the explosion range!

Now hearing Xiao Yu agree to let Xu Que refine pills first, everyone was afraid!

Su Ling'er immediately glared at Xu Que and said: "Sun Wukong, don't mess around."

"Dizzy, where did I mess around? I really know how to refine pills!" Xu Que said speechlessly.

Su Xiaoqi rolled her eyes: "Know your head, dead monkey. You tell me, you learn ancient zither and practice techniques, where do you have time to refine pills? Not to mention that what you are refining now is a two-star pill!"

"Uh..." Xu Que was a bit speechless, he really hadn't refined it, but wasn't he going to refine it now?

So he added: "You guess!"

"..." Su Xiaoqi's mouth twitched, wanting to rush up and beat Xu Que.

Su Ling'er stepped forward and shook her head: "Regardless of whether you know it or not, cooperate with Xiao Yu first and finish refining the Spirit Nourishing Pill and Blood Origin Pill. Or, we can also settle the score from the cave yesterday first!"

"..."

Xu Que was helpless, shrugged and said: "Fine, believe it or not, I'll refine it for you to see later."

Seeing Xu Que willing to retreat, Su Ling'er breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Xu Que: "If you find the alchemy furnace in an unstable situation, I'll tell you to stop, and you must stop immediately, understand?"

"No problem, my alchemy is famous for being stable, and also famous for being cautious. If you don't believe me, go out and ask, who in the alchemy world doesn't know me!" Xu Que patted his chest and started bragging.

Su Ling'er habitually ignored his words and said indifferently: "Then start."

"Wait, if I fail, I'll swallow feces and kill myself! But what if I succeed?" Xu Que asked.

Everyone rolled their eyes.

It's good enough if you don't blow up the alchemy furnace, and you're still thinking about what if you succeed? Don't "what if," there's no such "what if" at all!

"Dead monkey, if you want to try, try quickly, don't talk nonsense. If you can really succeed, whatever you want is fine." Su Xiaoqi said impatiently.

Xu Que was happy instantly. Whatever he wants is fine? Is it true? He couldn't help but look at Su Ling'er.

Su Ling'er was stunned, shook her head and said: "You start quickly. If you can succeed, I promise you any one condition, as long as it's not harmful to heaven and earth, and doesn't harm my tribesmen."

"Ah! Sister, no." Su Xiaoqi thought of something and exclaimed immediately, "What if he wants you to marry him?"

This sentence came out, and everyone was stunned instantly.

Even Su Ling'er was stunned, her cheeks flushed, and she was a bit at a loss.

Xu Que stood out immediately, righteous and awe-inspiring: "Don't worry, I am definitely not that kind of person, and it's absolutely impossible to say that I would let your sister marry me."
