Chapter 220: She's Jealous Again

Tens of thousands of miles away from Qihuang Mountain, there stood a picturesque hill.

The scenery was breathtaking—birds sang melodiously, flowers bloomed in vibrant colors, and a majestic waterfall cascaded down the rocky cliffs. Below the waterfall, an elegant pavilion stood gracefully amidst the serene landscape.

Inside the pavilion, four Holy Kings—Jiang Wudi, Ye Tianhong, Tai Suzi, and the Yaoguang Saint Lord—sat together, sipping tea and enjoying the tranquil atmosphere.

Suddenly, the void beside them cracked open.

Qi Mengdie stepped out, leading Chu Xiu.

They both bowed respectfully toward the pavilion.

"Chu Xiu greets the Holy Kings."

"Hahaha, you're finally here!" Yaoguang Saint Lord laughed heartily and waved at Chu Xiu, motioning for him to come forward.

Chu Xiu stepped onto the stairs and entered the pavilion. With a polite smile, he said, "I apologize for keeping you waiting."

"Not at all," Ye Tianhong replied, stroking his mustache with a satisfied expression. "Chu Xiu, you did an excellent job this time."

"Slaying dozens of Great Saints has greatly eased the pressure on the Tianyuan Great Wall battlefield."

"Your current military achievements within the Human Alliance surpass those of most Great Saints."

"Senior Ye, you flatter me. I was merely in the right place at the right time. In fact, I should be the one thanking you all for your support."

As he spoke, Chu Xiu raised his hand and waved.

Three mutton-fat white jade bottles appeared on the stone table before them.

The eyes of the three Holy Kings lit up with anticipation.

"This is the Rootless Divine Water I promised to the three seniors," Chu Xiu announced.

Yaoguang Saint Lord uncorked one of the bottles, and a faint yet intoxicating fragrance wafted into the air. Taking a deep breath, he couldn't help but exclaim, "This is indeed the Rootless Divine Water… excellent, truly excellent!"

With a look of delight, he carefully stored the jade bottle away. This rare heavenly treasure held immense value, even for someone of his stature.

The other two Holy Kings nodded in satisfaction.

"Not bad, not bad," Ye Tianhong remarked, though his eyes gleamed with expectation. "But the quantity seems a little... lacking. If only there were a bit more..."

He looked at Chu Xiu meaningfully, subtly implying that if he had more of such a treasure, he shouldn't hold back.

Chu Xiu could only smile bitterly and spread his hands helplessly.

A rich and subtle fragrance filled the air.

Hua Luofei's beautiful eyes lit up instantly, a trace of emotion flickering across her face. "Rootless Holy Water… So much Rootless Holy Water."

Sitting to the side, Master Baby sipped his tea and curled his lips in dissatisfaction. "Biased..."

He gave me so little.

Yet he gave Luo Fei so much.

However, upon realizing that Chu Xiu was still unaware of Luo Fei's true identity, Master Baby felt a sense of balance return to his heart.

He must be trying to bribe the Holy Lord to consolidate his position.

Yes, that must be it.

"Didn't you say there wasn't any more?"

Hua Luofei's fair and delicate face softened with a faint smile.

Chu Xiu shrugged. "There's no need to give it to outsiders. But we're family, so of course, there's more."

"This is a precious resource, and there's quite a lot here. I'll take a third, and you can have the rest."

He waved his hand in a generous manner, adding with a smile, "I still have more than half a jar left."

"You don't need it?" Hua Luofei asked.

"You can use it to nurture potential disciples in the Holy Land," Chu Xiu replied nonchalantly.

His casual attitude made it seem as if he were giving away ordinary spring water rather than an invaluable treasure.

Hua Luofei's beautiful eyes softened with a trace of tenderness. She nodded, no longer refusing, and carefully stored away the Rootless Holy Water.

Noticing the tenderness in her best friend's eyes, Master Baby secretly shot her a glare, pursing his lips in discontent.

Hmph. So unfair.

Just wait. I'll show you what's what tonight!

…Wait.

Looking at the starry sky, Master Baby suddenly realized—it was already nighttime.

Fine. Tomorrow night works just as well.

"Where are you going next?" Hua Luofei gazed at Chu Xiu, her voice soft and gentle.

Chu Xiu thought for a moment. "I'll return to the Holy Land first. I need to go into seclusion and sort out my cultivation."

"It just so happens that I also want to go back. I can take you with me," Hua Luofei offered.
