The strange female partner in Quick Wear is too sexy

Sheng Rao understood that even spiritual beasts had limits in their ability to recover, but in this unknown secret realm, any careless behavior could lead to a catastrophic disaster.

She quickly scanned the surroundings and after confirming that there were no new threats, she once again ordered her disciples to retreat.

"Lin Yu, you lead everyone to retreat carefully along the way we came. I will follow the rear."

Sheng Rao's voice was firm and calm. She was well aware of the importance of her responsibility. Not only did she have to protect her disciples' safety, but she also had to ensure that they could return safely with the harvest of this expedition.

Since Immortal Qingchen has given her this task, she must complete it well.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu immediately nodded.

"Master, you have to be careful."

After saying that, Lin Yu quickly organized the team and retreated in an orderly manner according to the pre-planned route.

Although the disciples were nervous, they maintained the necessary calm and order under Lin Yu's leadership.

But Qin Yi and Ning Suqiu didn't think so. Since the spirit dragon had lost its combat capability now, why not take advantage of the situation and kill it directly?

After all, the spiritual dragon has good stuff all over its body.

Qin Yi and Ning Suqiu exchanged a knowing look, and they were secretly calculating in their hearts.

Qin Yi gently pulled Ning Suqiu's sleeve and whispered, "Suqiu, why don't we..."

Ning Suqiu understood what he meant. She glanced at Sheng Rao who was directing the retreat, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

She responded softly: "That's exactly what I want, but we have to do it covertly so Sheng Rao can't find out."

The two men quietly left the main group and, taking advantage of the complex terrain around them, carefully approached the spiritual dragon that was lying on the ground.

Although the spirit dragon's breathing was weak, its huge body still emitted a faint spiritual light, and it was obviously not so easy to completely deal with it.

Qin Yi took out a sharp dagger from his storage ring. It was a spiritual weapon he specially prepared for this expedition, and it was powerful enough to penetrate the scales of spiritual beasts.

Qin Yi curled the corners of his mouth, his eyes flashing with greed and determination, ready to give the spirit dragon a fatal blow.

However, just as he was about to take action, a cold voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "What are you doing?"

Qin Yi and Ning Suqiu were startled and looked back, only to see Sheng Rao had appeared behind them at some point, her sharp eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts.

"I...we just want to see if it's safe." Qin Yi answered calmly, but his voice was full of panic.

Sheng Rao's eyes were sharp, and she could naturally sense the little thoughts in the two people's minds.

But Sheng Rao did not get angry immediately, she just said coldly: "The spirit dragon has only temporarily lost its combat power, but its residual power is still there. What's more, it is a dragon, which is equivalent to half a dragon. If you want to die, you can stay, but don't implicate others."

Qin Yi and Ning Suqiu turned pale instantly when they heard this. They didn't expect Sheng Rao to be so perceptive, and they didn't expect her to directly expose their plan.

But how could they be willing?

After finally making the trip to the secret realm of the West Sea, they didn't find anything good, and the beast eggs they got last time were returned to the monster by Sheng Rao.

Sheng Rao came to stop the spiritual dragon again this time, and Ning Suqiu felt dissatisfied.

"The spirit dragon is already half dead, so what if we just kill it? It was fine that you tried to stop me from taking the beast egg before, but now you're trying to stop me again. Are you deliberately not wanting us to get the good stuff?"

"I know you resent me for stealing your Taoist partner, but Brother Qin Yi loves me. A forced melon is not sweet. I can understand your resentment, but you have gone too far!"

As soon as Ning Suqiu finished speaking, the air around them seemed to freeze, and even the wind seemed to stop flowing.

Sheng Rao's face changed instantly. She didn't expect Ning Suqiu to so bluntly confuse personal grudges with the mission, and she didn't expect her to say such words in public.

This green tea and white lotus, is she acting out Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio with her?

"Ning Suqiu, you are wrong." Sheng Rao's voice was low and powerful, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth. "I have never resented any relationship between you and Qin Yi. My duty is to protect the safety of every disciple and ensure that we can complete the mission and return safely. As for the good things you mentioned, in my opinion, nothing is more precious than life. Although the spirit dragon is injured, its power is still there. You will only harm other disciples by doing this."

"You want to kill the spirit dragon? Wait until we withdraw safely, and then you can do whatever you want to it!"

Sheng Rao didn't want to care about the two of them anymore. They were simply courting their own death.

Sheng Rao did not kill Ling Jiao in the fight. Her purpose was not to take Ling Jiao's life, but to ensure the safety of the sect's disciples. So Ling Jiao was not injured at all, but just temporarily exhausted.

Qin Yi and Ning Suqiu wanted to die, so she would help them.

The guardian beast in the secret realm is no ordinary creature, and the spiritual dragon is about to achieve perfection in its cultivation. It is just a matter of chance, and sooner or later it will overcome the calamity and transform into a dragon.

All things have spirits, not to mention that they were the ones who took the things from the secret realm's forbidden area first, so Sheng Rao didn't want to get entangled with them anymore. It would be fine if they wanted to die, but they shouldn't involve other disciples of the sect.

Sheng Rao's words were as cold as ice, but every word was clear, making everyone present feel her authority and responsibility as the team leader.

Qin Yi and Ning Suqiu's faces suddenly turned pale. They had never expected that Sheng Rao would refute so directly, and they had never expected that she would separate personal grudges and sect missions so clearly.

But how could Ning Suqiu be willing to give up? She clenched her teeth, a hint of unwillingness and anger flashed in her eyes, as if she wanted to vent all her emotions on Sheng Rao.

But reason told her that a head-on confrontation was not the best strategy at this moment, and with so many disciples from the sect present, she couldn't afford to lose face.

Ning Suqiu took a deep breath and put on an aggrieved expression, her voice choking with sobs: "Big Sister, I... I just wanted to contribute to the sect so much. I know I was wrong and shouldn't have acted on my own, but please believe me, I have absolutely no ill intentions, I was just blinded by greed."

Seeing this, Qin Yi also hurriedly stepped forward and tried to ease the atmosphere: "Big Sister, Su Qiu was also impulsive. We will follow your instructions and retreat immediately. However... this spiritual dragon is indeed a rare opportunity. If we can handle it properly, it may bring considerable benefits to the sect."

Sheng Rao narrowed her eyes slightly when she heard this. She naturally understood the meaning of Qin Yi's words, but her position remained firm as before.

"Profits are important, but safety always comes first. If you really want to contribute to the sect, protect yourself and don't take unnecessary risks. As for the spirit dragon, it has its own destiny, which is not something we can easily decide."

After saying that, Sheng Rao ignored the two of them and turned to retreat, leaving Qin Yi and Ning Suqiu looking at each other with mixed feelings.

Under the leadership of Sheng Rao, everyone continued to retreat along the established route. Although there were some dangers along the way, everyone became more alert and cautious.
