Sister, I don't want to be a furnace anymore. I'm about to become an immortal.

Chapter 157: Mutual Calculation

"Haha, you're quite good at talking, little one. Good! Keep talking. I've been here for such a long time and I'm a little bored."

Hearing this, Xiao Yichen felt like a thousand beasts were galloping in his heart, but he still remained patient:

"Senior, I'm serious. I swear to God, if you let me go, I will definitely catch that guy Ye Mengli and bring him to you to kowtow and admit my mistake."

"Of course you can. You just need to get rid of me, an old woman, and then you can leave. I'm old anyway and won't live for many more years."

Hearing the sarcasm in the words, Xiao Yichen was too lazy to pretend anymore. He muttered "damn old woman" and stopped talking. The crack fell into silence again.

"Damn it! I don't know what happened to Da Huang and the others. I finally rescued Qing Qing's mother, but now there's no way back!"

He cursed inwardly. Now there was a powerful old woman guarding outside. He definitely couldn't get out without her consent. No one came to rescue him. He might really be trapped to death under this crack.

As for the old woman's statement that she didn't have much time left and that he wanted to take her away, Xiao Yichen didn't believe it at all. Maybe he died and the other party would still be alive. After all, this old woman must be a cultivator above the fusion realm, otherwise, Ye Mengli would not be so afraid that she would not even dare to get close to her.

Time passed slowly. There was no sunlight under the crack and no one knew how many days had passed.

At this moment, in the back mountain of Meiyu Gate, Dahuang was lying on the ground with Liu Qingqing's mother on his back, and Xiaobai and Xiaohua were next to him with a bunch of fruits in their mouths. They were actually the red lotus fruits that had saved Xiao Yichen's life before.

They were seen biting the red lotus fruit into pieces, and the juice flowed from their mouths onto Liu Qingqing's mother's body, constantly healing her injuries.

Just then, there were bursts of light footsteps coming from the distance. Dahuang suddenly got up from the ground, looked over there vigilantly, and kept backing away, ready to run away if anything went wrong.

Not long after, a figure came into their sight. It was a disciple of the Meiyu Sect. When the other party saw Dahuang and the person on his back, his eyes lit up and he rushed towards them.

"Roar……"

Da Huang roared angrily, and then Xiao Bai and Xiao Hua attacked from the left and right respectively, and quickly pounced on the man. The two figures were extremely fast, and the disciple could not handle them at all.

"Ouch! It's me! Stop biting, it hurts... Shut up, little flower dog..."

…………

Back under the crack, Xiao Yichen lay on the ground doing nothing. He didn't even dare to change his posture, for fear that the mysterious ore would soften and he would be attacked by the old woman.

"Little thing, why did that girl chase you? Tell me."

The other party suddenly spoke at this time. Hearing this, Xiao Yichen, who was also bored, made up a story to amuse the old woman.

As he was making up the story, he suddenly hit upon an idea and became more and more excited, leaving the old woman stunned.

More than ten minutes later, the old woman listened to his words and was silent for a long time. Then she asked in disbelief:

"You're saying that Ye Mengli, that little bitch, wanted to go against the Holy Alliance for a man. Now that the truth has been exposed, the strong men of the Holy Alliance are ready to take action against the Meiyu Sect?"

"Of course, I was sent by the Holy Alliance to negotiate. As long as Ye Mengli can hand over that man, the Holy Alliance will let bygones be bygones."

"But she didn't just refuse, she even planned to keep me here forever. So, I'm forced here. It's a pity! If I disappear for five days, the Holy Alliance will take direct action!"

When it comes to making up stories, he is extremely good at it and can tell you all the dirty stuff.

He just wanted to take a gamble, betting on how much the old woman valued the Meiyu Sect.

"Boy, you are not lying to me, are you? You said so much just to let me let you go?" The old woman was not really confused.

"Haha, I'm kidding you? Then guess who can get this treasure that protects my body? Even you can't break my defense, so this doesn't prove my identity?"

There was no response, and the place fell into silence again. Just when Xiao Yichen wanted to add fuel to the fire, the other party spoke:

"Hehe, kid, how about a deal?"

Hearing that there was a chance, Xiao Yichen instantly became excited, but he suppressed his inner excitement and said indifferently:

"What deal? Don't even think about asking me to ask the Holy Alliance for help. Ye Mengli must hand over that man."

Hearing his words, the old woman laughed:

"You don't really think I'm a fool, do you? Ever since that bitch was abandoned by some ungrateful person, she no longer likes men. I know this much better than you."

Hearing this, Xiao Yichen's heart trembled. Who could have imagined such a ridiculous plot? But he still suppressed his inner emotions and argued:

"It's been so many years. What if she..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the old woman with disgust.

"Stop talking nonsense. I don't believe what you just said. However, you are right about one thing. This treasure is indeed not something that ordinary cultivators are qualified to possess. This shows that there is indeed a powerful force behind you."

Hearing this, Xiao Yichen was amused. This guy was just like the old man in the Discipline Valley. He really thought of him as a disciple of a big sect.

"So you are qualified to make this deal with me!"

After the old woman finished speaking, she went to look for something and heard some rustling sounds.

"found it!"

After a long while, the old woman's voice sounded again:

"This jade bracelet was given to me by an old friend. I'm giving it to you now. You must use the power behind you to go to the Western Continent and find that old friend. Tell him what happened here and ask him to save me. In return, I'll let you go. Are you willing?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yichen was of course willing to do it. No one would keep his promise as long as he waited for him to leave.

Seeing that he agreed so readily, the old woman also smiled.

"Well, hold out your hand."

"What for? With your strength, you can easily throw me out, and then throw the jade bracelet up, right?"

The old woman laughed sarcastically, and then said sarcastically:

"You don't really think I'll trust you so easily, do you? Stretch out your hand, I'm going to poison you."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yichen frowned, but then a smile appeared on his face. Poison? Wouldn't that just tickle the power of the heavenly tribulation? What kind of poison could harm him? This has been verified.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated. He melted a small hole in the mysterious ore and stretched out a finger. Soon, a sharp pain came through his fingers.

He thought the process would not last long, but after a while, he tried to retract his fingers in fear, but was held tightly by the other party. The poison was still flowing into his body, as if it wanted to replace all his blood.

"Hey! Let go of me, you old woman! Are you poisoning me or are you trying to starve me to death?"

"Hey, kid, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. The power behind you must have a master of detoxification. My poison is not only highly toxic, but also has a large quantity. Even if someone can find a way to detoxify it, it will take quite a while."

"You might not realize the severity of this, but let me explain. Finding an antidote takes a few days, making the antidote takes a day, and finally detoxifying it takes a few more days. But if you can't completely eliminate this poison within ten days, you'll die! Haha."
