Ier regions of the vast wilderness, there were only early-stage first-tier demos, their strength equivalent to the third level of Qi Refining.

  After Lin Hao killed about a dozen, he grew tired of it a Li Xunran to clear the area, while he followed Li Qiushui deeper into the forest.

  Upon reag the gathering piddle-grade first-tier demos, Lin Hao finally stopped. He pulled out a stack of talismans from his ste bag and scattered them like a celestial maiden scattering flowers.

  Each talisman was equivalent to a full-force strike from a sixth-level Qi Refining cultivator. Four or five talismans could take down a mid-stage first-tier demo, making his hunting efficy extremely high.

  In half a day, he had hunted down thirty to forty demos himself. The exaumber would only be knowhey ted their spoils in the evening.

  Li Xunran followed behind him, skinning arag cores, sweating profusely but without a word of pint. At least on the surface, she seemed like a very petent follower.

  However, Lin Hao knew she was a wolf in disguise a a close eye on her, watg for any tricks.

  But the woman was diligent, showing no abnormal behavior. Anyone unaware might have thought she was just a devoted little servant.

  As night fell, the demos absorbed the essence of the moon, increasing their strength. Since everyone had been fighting all day and o restore their spiritual energy, they chose to camp a.

  Cultivators' physiques were different from ordinary people, so camping in the wild wasn't too much of a hassle; they just set up simple tents.

  Li Xunran gathered dry branches and leaves to make a simple bonfire. After asking Lin Hao to light it, she used water-based spells to warm wine and brew tea.

  Lin Hao was responsible for ting the spoils. Because of his close retionship with his Senior Sister, she entrusted this task, whivolved personal is, to him.

  Soon, he finished ting the spoils. Senior Sister had hunted fifty mid-stage first-tier demos, while he had huhirty-five mid-stage and ten early-stage ones.

  The other four had collectively hunted fifty mid-stage and thirty early-stage beasts.

  "Out of the total spoils, Lin Hao gets two shares, and each of you gets one share. Any objes?" Li Qiushui's cool voice rang out.

  "No objes."

  The rule of more work, more reward was well-established, so naturally, no one had any objes.

  "Thank you, Senior Sister," Lin Hao expressed his gratitude upon hearing this.

  "This is what you deserve. You kill mid-stage demos so quickly; have you advao the seventh level of Qi Refining?" Li Qiushui smiled brightly, making the surrounding flowers lose their color.

  Lin Hao hesitated slightly, then nodded, admitting he was at the peak of the seventh level of Qi Refining, though he was actually at the eighth level.

  There was o hide it from his Senior Sister, but with a wolf nearby, he didn't want to reveal his true strength.

  "Senior Sister, Master, you've worked hard all day. Please have some tea."

  Li Xunran brought over two cups of steaming tea, speaking softly.

  Lin Hao took the teacup, g the others, some drinking tea, others drinking wine.

  He exged a gh his Senior Sister Li Qiushui, uanding each other.

  Then, while Li Xunran wasn't paying attention, Lin Hao sed the teacup with one from his ste bag.

  Seeing Lin Hao and Li Qiushui both drink, Li Xunran's eyes held a hint of a smile, her voice seductive, "Master, how does it taste?"

  "It's still..."

  Suddenly, Lin Hao clutched his abdomen, his body swaying as he fell to the ground.

  The other four also colpsed at this moment.

  "You... you poisoned us!"

  Lin Hao's eyes were filled with both hatred and surprise. He struggled to capture the woman but owerless to move.

  "Junior Brother, what... what's going on? Your maid poisohe tea!" Li Qiushui's voice was soft and weak.

  Li Xunrareated five or six feet, wary of Lin Hao suddenly attag.

  "Little thief, just because I called you Master a few times, you really thought you were my master?

  To tell you the truth, everything I did before was to gain your trust."

  "Wretched woman!"

  Lin Hao deliberately acted furious, his eyes cold.

  Cp, cp, cp!!!

  Yueming cpped her delicate hands, leading a group out from the shadows, her stunning face full of pride.

  "Li Qiushui, you didn't expect this, did you?" The woman's voice was icy.

  "It's you, this wretched woman is yours!" Lin Hao's ag was impeccable, his eyes full of surprise a.

  "Oh, the little pup is quite handsome, but not very smart. Only now do you realize, too te!"

  Yueming's tone was filled with excitement as she snatched the ste bag taining demon cores from Lin Hao's hand and quickly ted them.

  "Ha, you all did quite well, killing so many demos. Now they're ours!"

  She hung the ste bag on her waist and walked over to Li Qiushui with graceful steps.

  She reached out with two jade-like fingers, lifting Li Qiushui's fair , speaking flirtatiously, "Such a beauty, if a pig were to defile you, the se would be quite explosive, wouldn't it?"

  She gnced back, and aremely fat, hideous male cultivator approached, drooling.

  "Today, I'll let this stupid pig take your virginity!"

  "You... shameless!"

  Li Qiushui's eyes erupted with icy killing i. The cultivation teique she practiced severed emotions, and if her virginity were taken, her cultivation level would plummet.

  "Wretched woman, how dare you!"

  Seeing the ugly male cultivatetting closer, Li Qiushui was terrified, her face pale with fear, a yer rant sweat f on her forehead.

  "Hahaha, Li Qiushui, you have a day to be afraid too!"

  Yueming ughed wildly, tears almost jumping from her beautiful eyes.

  "Wretched woman, do you dare to abandon your siricks and fight me fair and square?"

  "Heh heh, you don't o use a bluffing strategy on me. As long as I defile your purity and make your cultivation level plummet, won't you be at my mercy then?

  Don't think about struggling, and don't think about stalling for time. No one is ing to save you."

  Despair surged in Li Qiushui's eyes, as if she had resigned herself to fate, her long eyeshes drooping onto her cheeks.

  Today, being able to humiliate her aremy to the fullest, Yueming was extremely proud.

  "Don't be so quick to give up. A beauty like you is the dream Dao panion of many male cultivators. Even if defiled by a pig, there are those willing to have a taste.

  Once my people are doh you, your people will have their turn!

  Tsk tsk tsk, the cold fairy turning into a wanton woman, just thinking about it is exg, don't you think?"

  All of Yueming's followers had lecherous looks in their eyes, repeatedly agreeing.

  "Wretched woman, you're truly vicious!" Li Qiushui let out a cry of despair.

  "Yht this all upon yourself!" Yueming said smugly.

  Boom!!

  Suddenly, a fierce palm strike, carrying unstoppable spiritual energy, aimed straight for Yueming's heart!

  What?!

  Yueming was shocked, realizing Li Qiushui wasn't poisoned!

  Her thoughts caught up, but her body couldn't rea time. She was struck by the spiritual energy-infused palm strike, sent flying three or four feet!

  Pfft!

  She spat out a mouthful of blood in mid-air, like a magnolia flower blown off by a strong wind, crashing to the ground.

  She looked at her oppo with hatred, incredulous, "Li Qiushui, you preteo be poisoned?"
