Isn't this a game? How come you guys are really cultivating immortals!

"Ah……"

The female cultivator seemed amused; her otherwise ordinary features became somewhat dazzling thanks to her smile.

"Although I'm not human, I do understand jokes. Did you use that Heavenly Sound Grass to refine pills?"

Song Jiulai: "..."

She remembered the third-tier Heavenly Sound Grass she had snatched from several fighting cultivators.

Goodness, she was wondering how such a hidden Tianyin Grass could exist in the wild.

I had a feeling someone was trying to hook me, and it turned out they were right!

Song Jiulai pretended to be stupid: "What Heavenly Sound Grass? I don't have any."

The female cultivator continued to smile faintly, her lips pursed: "That Heavenly Sound Grass was a gift I gave you because I saw you were about to enter the Golden Core stage."

"..."

System: "Wow, I didn't expect you to be the first one targeted by the demon cultivator."

Song Jiulai's eyelids twitched.

She felt that the woman in front of her was strange, probably because she was a demon cultivator. She always felt that her every smile and frown was out of place.

It's as if it's deliberately learning human behavior and habits.

This makes it seem somewhat 'affected'.

Song Jiulai leaned closer to her: "Why don't you stop doing this? I'm not used to it. You've already been honest, so there's no need to pretend. I don't believe you're like this."

The female cultivator's smile faded.

Soon, a sly look appeared in those already bright eyes: "Is that so? Are you satisfied with the gift I gave you?"

"what gift?"

"Tianyin grass."

"I don't have Heavenly Sound Grass."

Song Jiulai will continue to play dumb to the very end.

What is this Heavenly Sound Grass?

What gift?

That is clearly a gift from nature!

How can something I snatched from someone else be considered a gift?

Anyone who gives a gift is willing to risk their life to rob it.

The female cultivator chuckled, "If I hadn't placed the Heavenly Sound Grass there, do you think you would have seen it in the wild?"

It even contains dragon's breath essence; there's no such thing as a free lunch.

Song Jiu glanced around and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the city lord of Xuanwu City should still be after you. Are you really going to be wandering around right under his nose?"

The female cultivator's lips curled into a smug smile: "I dared to come out because I was confident."

Song Jiulai didn't believe it: "You were the one he caught and locked up in the cage that day."

The female cultivator's smile froze, and then a hint of resentment appeared in her eyes: "I deliberately let him capture me, otherwise, how could he possibly catch me?"

However, she wasn't stupid. Hearing Song Jiulai say this, she said, "You believe me now? Why didn't you report me immediately? You really are different from other cultivators."

"Is it possible that the reason I didn't tell on you is because you're right in front of me right now?"

A demon cultivator who can conceal his presence right under the noses of Xuanwu City.

Song Jiulai wasn't stupid enough to betray her right in front of her.

"No, you won't."

She seemed very certain: "I sense a kind of warmth emanating from you, like..."

She didn't know how to describe it, thought about it carefully, but couldn't think of anything, so she said, "It's just that it feels familiar."

"..."

Song Jiulai took a sip of water: "That's slander! I have absolutely no connection with demon cultivators!"

For a demon cultivator to feel affection for someone is a truly terrifying thing.

Isn't this just throwing mud at a human cultivator like her for no reason?

So vicious!

The female demon cultivator in front of him didn't care and started introducing herself: "My name is Di Jue, what's your name?"

Song Jiu glanced at it and casually made up a story: "Wang Xiaohu."

Di Jue pouted, "Even if you don't want to tell me, I know your identity. Your name is Song Abao, right?"

Song Jiulai: "..."

System: "Damn it, this woman doesn't know your real identity, but she knows your disguise. This kid must not be allowed to live!"

Song Jiulai remained calm and continued drinking his tea, showing no sign of revealing to Di Jue that he knew about Song Abao's alias.

Otherwise, wouldn't we already know?

She was trying to figure out Di Jue's cultivation level.

She only used her identity as Song Abao again when she killed Lü Rufeng in Tan Gu. How did she know that?

Depend on!

Di Jue placed his hands on the table, rested his chin on his arm, and leaned towards Song Jiu, speaking in an innocent tone: "Don't worry, I won't tell on you. You know I'm a demon cultivator, and I know you're a wanted criminal. We're in cahoots!"

"..."

System: "As expected of a demon cultivator, so uncultured, even worse than me. His use of idioms is worse than mine."

"..."

Logically, Song Jiulai would definitely want to get rid of someone who knows his secret as soon as possible.

However, considering the disparity in strength between the two sides, Song Jiulai decided to give them a chance for peaceful dialogue.

She changed the subject: "Why did you deliberately let the city lord of Xuanwu City arrest you?"

Di Jue's face showed the same resentment as before: "I want to kill him. He captured so many of our clansmen. Killing them would be one thing, but he also had to humiliate them. I despise him!"

At this point, a fierce glint appeared in Di Jue's eyes.

Song Jiulai saw a flash of gold in her eyes.

Song Jiulai felt very innocent. All she wanted to do was to help her sect develop peacefully and she didn't want to get involved in this power struggle.

Moreover, this is the mainstream struggle on the Yunzhou continent.

She didn't offer any comment, only saying, "Then why are you telling me?"

Just because I glanced at you in the crowd.

So you're trying to extort me?

I should have been less rude and glared at her back then.

Now you're getting yourself into trouble.

Hey!

Di Jue still uttered that line from the TV series: "I feel you're different."

"You've misunderstood. I'm just like any other cultivator," Song Jiulai clarified. "I also hate demon cultivators and wish I could eliminate them as soon as possible!"

Just like that despicable demon cultivator who almost caused my downfall back then!

If you see it, you're guaranteed to kill it!

Di Jue looked at Song Jiulai: "Are you going to tell that vile city lord now?"

It's clear that Di Jue really dislikes that city lord.

Song Jiulai remained silent.

of course not.

She would never allow herself to appear in front of any powerful force.

Especially when you don't understand the situation at all.

“Of course, I’m not afraid.” Di Jue stood up, regaining the calm demeanor he had when they first met: “We’ll meet again sooner or later, Song Abao!”

For some reason, when she uttered that name, Song Jiu felt a chill run down her spine.

Awkward.

Di Jue left, leaving Song Jiu, who was still puzzled, to ask the system: "How did she end up arranging this to bump into me in the crowd?"

System: "That's right, Song Abao's face is so ugly that it's unpresentable. Do demon cultivators have different aesthetic standards than humans? It's also possible that her true form is too beautiful and she's used to seeing it. When she suddenly sees someone ugly, she finds it refreshing and has become attached to you."

Song Jiulai: "..."

Do you think what you're saying is ridiculous?
