Chapter 1690 Flower Spirit

He formed an equal contract with the contracted beast this time.

If one of them is injured, the other will also be injured.

Now, he is in so much pain that he is about to die, which means that his contracted beast has been killed!

Damn it! It's that woman in the shimmering brocade!

Apart from her, the other two couldn't have killed his fourth-tier god-level contracted beast in such a short time!

Yong Funing was filled with hatred!

"When you get back, you must tell my father to bring that woman back, break her arms and legs, cripple her cultivation, and then humiliate her to death!"

The death of a contracted beast is no big deal. The key issue is that the death of the contracted beast caused him to suffer a backlash.

This is where things get complicated!

But how could Yong Funing know that his contracted beast... no, to be precise, his former contracted beast, hadn't died at all. The contract had been forcibly erased by the clone, and it was currently serving as a servant beside Xiaoyue!

The next time they meet, Yong Funing will be dumbfounded.

at that time.

Led by Elder Li, the clone and Xiaoyue arrived at an island.

The island is not isolated from the world; many fishermen live there. At noon, many families are cooking, and smoke rises from their chimneys.

It was filled with...human presence.

“Old friend, I’ve come to see you.” The three stopped in front of a small courtyard surrounded by a fence.

“Old friend, you can come in.” A woman’s voice came from the simple room.

Her voice was mature and melodious.

Xiaoyue immediately grabbed the clone's hand excitedly, and their eyes met.

"Sister Yu, Grandpa Li has been a widow for most of his life. I thought he didn't like women! I never expected that he also had someone he loved."

She longed to meet the owner of that voice.

The clone replied, "Don't talk nonsense."

Since their relationship is not yet confirmed, it's best not to jump to conclusions.

If it causes a misunderstanding, that would be bad.

A soft hum came from the inner room.

These two little girls don't seem to be entirely an eyesore.

"Hua Ling." As soon as Elder Li entered the room, he saw a young woman sitting cross-legged on a cushion with her back to him.

He suppressed his feelings, which he had kept hidden for many years, and walked over.

"It's been a long time, old friend. How have you been?" The woman's appearance remained unchanged over the past few hundred years.

Therefore, Elder Li was shocked when he saw her face clearly.

The higher a cultivator's cultivation level, the longer their lifespan. His talent is limited; he will die within a few hundred years.

Now, he looks old.

And she... remains as beautiful and charming as ever.

"Hmm..." Elder Li suddenly didn't know what to say. He had clearly been preparing many things to say in his mind all the way.

"I bet you're here for those two little girls outside, right? Tell me, what's the matter that even you, Master Alchemist Li, can't handle?"

The woman poured Elder Li a cup of tea.

The tea was piping hot and still steaming.

"It's like this... There's a pill formula that requires our joint efforts to refine."

Upon hearing this, the woman's smile froze: "Old friend, you should know that I haven't touched alchemy for many years."

"Have you forgotten my temper?"

How could Elder Li forget?

He knew, of course, that if someone forced her to do something she was determined not to do, or even if it was mentioned casually, she would immediately turn hostile.

But... he really wanted to see her so badly.

The reason I agreed to create a clone was not because the method of refining the clone's spiritual medicine and physical body was so extraordinary, nor was it for fame or fortune.

It was simply to have an excuse to see her.

"Get out." The woman's superhuman strength shook the door open.

Seeing that Elder Li stood still, the woman said again, "Don't make me say it a second time."

"...Calm down." Elder Li was speechless, unsure how to respond, and could only leave for the time being.

"What's wrong, Grandpa Li? You don't look well," Xiaoyue asked with concern when she saw Elder Li come out.

Elder Li shook his head: "It's alright, she's not seeing guests today, we'll come again tomorrow."

"I will not see any guests tomorrow, nor the day after, and not a single day thereafter," the woman's voice rang out.

Immediately, an array barrier appeared out of thin air in the otherwise ordinary fenced courtyard, enveloping the entire courtyard.

"Grandpa Li...did you make her angry?" Xiaoyue blinked, looking at Elder Li with a helpless expression.

The latter looked embarrassed and said, "Um..."

"Grandpa Li, who exactly is she? Why is she suddenly angry? What did you say to her?"

“She…is an old friend of mine.” Elder Li didn’t say the specifics, nor could he bring himself to say it.

It's true that he likes her, but she doesn't like him! Saying it out loud will only cause more trouble!

"Just an old acquaintance?" Xiaoyue asked with a gossipy expression.

"Hmm..." Elder Li's face turned bright red.

The clone sensed that the person inside seemed to be getting angrier, so she interrupted, "Since she doesn't want to see guests, what should we do next?"

"Let's stay on the island for a couple of days. Her anger will subside in a couple of days."

The clone suggested, "Why don't you go and try to coax her?"

Elder Li hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, she won't want to see me. Every time I make her angry, if I dare to say anything more, she will only get angrier."

"Okay." Xiaoyue sighed in frustration.

The only option was to ask someone for lodging.

We can't just leave empty-handed, can we?

"Go away! We only have one bed in our house, how can we accommodate you to stay here?"

"We don't have any spare rooms in our house."

They asked several places, but no one was willing to take in the three of them. Even when Xiaoyue offered to pay a high rent, no one agreed.

"With that kind of money, there are plenty of other places to stay. Why do you have to come to our village?"

"Is it really that easy to make money off the rich? I bet they have ulterior motives!"

Xiaoyue's mouth was dry from explaining: "We really didn't have any bad intentions."

"Besides, if there are no empty beds, we can sleep on the floor!" She was truly at her wit's end.

After a long silence, the clone said, "Since we're all sleeping on the floor, can't we set up a tent outside?"

You can put mattresses and other things in the tent, isn't that more comfortable than sleeping on the ground?

"That's right! How come I didn't think of that?" Xiaoyue was amazed by the clone's intelligence and said with admiration, "Sister Yu, you're so amazing! You came up with a brilliant idea right away!"

"...Uh." The clone was speechless.

What kind of ingenious trick is that?

And so, the three of them set up a tent in front of Hua Ling's courtyard.

When they were setting up the second tent, a torrential downpour began.

This rain is unusual; it seems to have been deliberately brought about.

The clones set up an array on the spot, blocking the rain.

"I underestimated you." The door opened, and Hua Ling took only two steps before walking from the doorway to her clone.

Her hair was blonde and casually draped over her shoulders.

The left ear, which wasn't covered by hair, was pointed.

The clone blurted out almost subconsciously: "Elves."
