Refining divine pills, controlling divine beasts, and the useless lady is so cool

After Mu Qingli had walked a long distance, he was suddenly grabbed by a beggar.

The beggar was covered in dirt and her face could not be seen clearly.

Mu Zhanxiao immediately scolded the beggar: "Where did you come from, beggar? Let go of your hand, I'll give you some Xuanjing, and you don't have to bother us anymore!"

Mu Zhanxiao rummaged for a long time before finding a few white Xuan crystals, and then handed them to the beggar lying on the ground.

But the beggar still shook his head, and held Mu Qingli's calf even tighter, as if he was not doing it for these few black crystals.

Mr. Mu was unhappy and walked up to pull the beggar away.

While pulling, Mr. Mu glanced at the beggar and felt that the beggar looked very familiar.

The beggar raised her head and her true face was revealed. Old Master Mu opened his mouth but had nothing to say.

Mu Qingli also recognized her. This was her former second aunt Zhong Meimei. Zhong Meimei was good at flattery and always used her identity as second aunt to order Mu Qingchen to do things and treated him like a servant.

So Mu Qingli disliked her very much. Now that she had fallen into this state, Mu Qingli did not feel any sympathy for her at all.

Grandpa Mu thought for a moment, then with a dark face, he took out a black crystal from his space and handed it to the man: "You are no longer from the General's Mansion, why are you bothering Li'er?"

Zhong Meimei lowered her head, said nothing, and just looked at the open space under her feet.

But when Mr. Mu handed the Black Mystic Crystal to her, she immediately snatched it away and hid it in her arms, as if she was afraid that someone else would snatch it away.

Mu Qingli didn't like her second aunt. After her grandfather handed the black crystal to her, Mu Qingli turned around and wanted to leave.

But as soon as she raised her foot, her calf was hugged by another hand, and it was still Zhong Meimei's.

Mu Qingli felt a little impatient: "Let go! Considering that you were my second aunt before, I won't bother with you this time."

Zhong Meimei was stunned and began to howl loudly as if she was mourning: "I was wrong. I shouldn't have bullied you before. We are really miserable now that we have ended up like this.

Li'er, since I used to be your second aunt, can you forgive me?"

Zhong Meimei knew that instead of asking the old man for help, it would be better to ask her formerly foolish niece for help. As long as her niece softened her heart, the old man would definitely agree to any of her requests.

In this way, it would be just a matter of time for their family to return to the general's mansion.

Unfortunately, Zhong Meimei's plan failed before it even began.

Mu Qingli pulled his leg out of her hand and took two steps back, keeping a distance from her: "Don't beg me, have you forgotten that you pinched me secretly when I was a child?

How dare you think I would plead for you? I'm already showing mercy by not killing you."

Mu Qingli's words made Zhong Meimei burst into tears. She really regretted it! If she had been nicer to her when she was a child, she wouldn't be so heartless to her now.

Mu Qingli stopped talking here and walked around her to leave. Seeing that Old Man Mu was still standing there, Mu Qingli immediately called out.

Old Master Mu came to his senses, and without even looking at Zhong Meimei, he followed Mu Qingli and left.

Zhong Meimei was lying on the ground, holding something in her hand. The look in her eyes as she looked at Mu Qingli changed from misery to deep resentment.

Mu Qingli did not see this scene, but she would not care if she saw it.

As soon as Mu Qingli left, a man wearing a ghost mask landed beside Zhong Meimei: "Are you willing to work for me? Ten black crystals a month."

The voice of the man with the ghost mask was calm, as if he was digging a hole for someone to jump into.

Zhong Meimei seemed to have found the only straw that could save her, and she reached out to pull the ghost mask's leg.

The ghost mask reacted quickly. When it saw her move, it took a few steps back. "Just lie there and don't move, or I won't give you a single black crystal."

Zhong Meimei is really afraid of being poor. She used to live a carefree life in the general's mansion, but now she is considered lucky if she can have a meal every day.

At this moment, someone suddenly appears and says he wants to pay you a salary. Who wouldn’t be excited?

"Sir, I won't get close to you. As long as you can give me a bite to eat, I will do whatever you ask me to do!"

Zhong Meimei didn't want to lose this person who was kind to her, so she behaved very obediently.

The ghost mask remained indifferent and asked calmly, "Do you know anyone else?"

Zhong Meimei thought of her husband and children, who were also hungry at the moment, and nodded quickly: "I have a husband and children. Can they work with you?"

Zhong Meimei and Mu Hongyu have similar interests and are both lazy and love to eat. However, since they were kicked out of the Mu Mansion, although they quarreled every day, they had to live together.

After all, there are more than just a few beggars, and as newcomers, they will definitely be bullied.

She also thought about going back to her parents' home, but her family were all snobs. After knowing that she was kicked out of the general's mansion, they completely ignored them.

So the whole family gathered together and sent one person out to beg every day. If they were lucky, the whole family could have enough to eat.

The black-faced mask suddenly laughed: "Those who work for me must be smart. Don't try to play tricks. If I find out, I will definitely chop off your legs and feed them to the dogs."

The cold air he emitted when he spoke could freeze people to death. Zhong Meimei, who was talking to him, shuddered. Thinking of her two foolish children, her face suddenly became very bad.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, the masked man called her a waste, and ignored Zhong Meimei and left without saying a word.

Zhong Meimei was anxious. She didn't want to just watch her money tree leave, but she couldn't find it after looking around.

Moreover, the few black crystals she had been carrying disappeared for no reason, so she had no choice but to return to her residence in shame.

Because she didn't find anything to eat today, she was severely beaten by Mu Hongyu.

Mu Hongyu looked at Zhong Meimei with a bad face, and said angrily: "You haven't brought back any food for a few days. If you continue like this, we will starve to death!"

Zhong Meimei huddled in the corner, looking hopeless. Suddenly, she spoke, "I met Mu Qingli and General Mu today. They were doing well. I begged them to forgive us, but they didn't even look at us."

When Mu Hongyu heard the first sentence, there was still a hint of hope on his face, but when he heard the last sentence, his slap fell hard on Zhong Meimei's head again.

Suddenly, he burst into laughter again: "Mu Zhanxiao! So you are such a person. I just did a few wrong things. After all this time, you still won't forgive me. Don't you like Mu Tinglan's child? Then I curse you to have no children!"
