Li Yijiang didn't react at all, and the sword was already on his neck.

Feeling the biting chill coming from the long sword, he froze and stammered, "You... Fellow Daoist Gu, what are you doing? Let's talk carefully if you have anything to say!"

Gu Jue only looked at him coldly, "Filthy words, insulting people's innocence. It's really shameful for a man like you to be so petty."

"I'm warning you, don't let me hear such words again, let alone talk nonsense to other people, otherwise I will take your life... Do you understand?"

Li Yijiang was shocked, he did not expect such a development at all!

He didn't understand that Gu Jue could still protect Lu Sangjiu when his head was so green? Is he a saint? ?

The divorce plan failed before it even started, and Li Yijiang felt aggrieved.

But with the sword on his neck, how dare he not be wise? He had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.

"I understand...I understand! Don't worry, I will definitely keep this in mind and will never tell anyone again!"

Gu Jue exerted force on his hand, and the image stone in his palm shattered.

"Don't bother her anymore. No matter how inconspicuous Chifeng is in the Seven Emotions Sect, he is still a disciple of the Seven Emotions Sect. Don't destroy your own future."

After warning Li Yijiang, Gu Jue took back his sword and coldly uttered two words, "Go away."

Li Yijiang immediately ran away without looking back. It seemed that he didn't have the guts to cause trouble to Lu Sangjiu anymore.

Gu Jue did not move, and stood there quietly for a long time. Finally, he couldn't help but look down at the fragments of the image stone on the ground, feeling... a sour feeling in his heart.

She said it was inconvenient because she was at another man's house?

So is it for that person that she learned to cook?

It turned out that she didn't forget to say that he could call her by her name that day, but she just... didn't want to say it.

Lu Sangjiu didn't know that someone else would add a lot of color to his incredible scandal.

At this moment, she had just made a dish of shredded pork with green pepper according to the recipe. Hmm... the quality looked very good. It must have been a success?

Just as she was about to take a bite with her chopsticks, she suddenly felt a gentle fluctuation in the barrier.

Xie Ningyuan is back?

Lu Sangjiu's eyes lit up and he was thinking about the Demonic Essence Stone. He immediately turned around and ran out without even bothering to taste the dishes.

As soon as he ran out of the kitchen door, he saw Xie Ningyuan's figure.

Probably because Lu Sangjiu had already seen his true appearance, so as soon as he entered the yard, he returned to his original appearance.

The face was the same as in the memory, but now it looked more like two completely different people.

In my memory, he always wore a simple white monk's robe, and his whole person seemed to exude a holy light, so clean that people couldn't bear to desecrate it.

Now his clothes are as red as blood, adding a bit of coquettishness. Under his careless smile, there is indifference and alienation from this world.

Such a strong contrast made Lu Sangjiu feel dazed for a moment. He actually forgot what he was doing when he came out, and just looked at him stupidly from far to near.

"What are you looking at? You think my real appearance is too good-looking, so you're stupid?"

After Xie Ningyuan's words, Lu Sangjiu came back to his senses, hurriedly looked away, and said fiercely, "Don't worry, no matter how hungry and thirsty I am, I won't become a nymphomaniac with a Buddhist cultivator."

As she said that, she stretched out her hand directly in front of him and asked confidently, "Demon Essence Stone!"

Xie Ningyuan chuckled, "You're really not polite."

After all, he still took out five top-grade magic stones and gave them to her.

"We can only get so much for the time being. You can use it for now. I will take you to find it later when I have a chance."

Five top-grade magic stones! Lu Sangjiu's eyes suddenly lit up. This was much better than she expected!

After all, whether it is a top-grade spiritual stone or a demonic stone, they are both very rare things.

With her level of cultivation, if she hadn't obtained some from the two inheritances in the secret realm, she might not have anywhere to look.

Therefore, her previous expectations for Xie Ningyuan were only a few hundred high-grade demonic stones at most, but she never expected that he would give her such a big surprise.

She happily put away the demonic stones. After removing Xie Ningyuan's blood curse, there were not many opportunities to use the demonic energy, so these demonic stones allowed her to stop worrying about the demonic energy for the time being.

Just as he was about to say thank you, he suddenly noticed that something was wrong with the fluctuations in Xie Ningyuan's body.

"Are you injured again?"

Xie Ningyuan said "hmm" indifferently, "When you buy something by force, you have to show force in order to proceed with the transaction."

"I used too much force for a moment and it hurt me a little bit. It's okay."

In fact, the seal that Master Du had just repaired for him almost broke again. Fortunately, he controlled his strength just enough and the seal was not really damaged.

The injuries that came back to him were not serious, so he didn't pay much attention.

He said this lightly, but Lu Sangjiu felt a little uncomfortable.

No matter who he forcibly bought the magic stone from, it is obvious that anyone who can possess the best magic stone will definitely not be a weakling, so the dangers involved cannot be explained clearly in a few words.

"...Thank you."

Xie Ningyuan raised his eyebrows, "Tsk, you took so many things from me, and now you think of thanking me?"

"Actually, you don't need to be too moved. Anyway... I'm not just here for you."

These words seemed to contain some other meanings, but before Lu Sangjiu could taste it carefully, Xie Ningyuan said again, "Are you cooking? It smells pretty good."

"I happen to be hungry. Since you want to thank me, why don't you treat me to a meal?"

With that said, Xie Ningyuan walked towards the kitchen unceremoniously.

Lu Sangjiu reacted and hurriedly caught up, "Wait a minute, I just finished cooking a dish..."

And she hasn’t tasted it herself. Although she thinks it should be good, she still feels a little unsure.

But Xie Ningyuan just waved his hand and said, "You can also fill your stomach with a dish first, don't be so stingy."

So Lu Sangjiu could only watch as Xie Ningyuan picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of her freshly baked shredded green pepper pork.

Lu Sangjiu was a little nervous for some reason, "Does it taste...ok?"

Xie Ningyuan was silent and paused for three full breaths with the mouthful of food in his mouth. He seemed to try hard to chew it several times, but gave up after hesitation.

In the end, he chose to follow his heart, lowered his head and spat out the mouthful of food, and hurriedly rinsed his mouth twice more, finally seeming to feel better.

Lu Sangjiu's expression froze, and he already got the answer from the other party's performance.

Just...how could it be? She followed the recipe strictly, so what went wrong?

She was doubting her life, but Xie Ningyuan finished rinsing her mouth and asked her very seriously, "To be honest, did you know that I was coming back, so you deliberately used this to trick me?"

Lu Sangjiu: "..."

She felt a little embarrassed, and slowly lowered her head and whispered, "This is my first time cooking, maybe I didn't grasp the key..."

Xie Ningyuan couldn't hold it back, "Are you sure this is a matter of not mastering the key points? Don't you think your cooking..."

He tried hard to choose his words, and finally chose a less hurtful word, "...Are you a little too creative?"
