This is my first time playing the female lead, what's wrong with the tea and snacks?

"Qingyi, two days ago, an elder from my Imperial Palace contacted me. The negotiations and decisions regarding the Lingxiao Mountain matter among our four major sects and five major demon clans have been finalized."

"Oh? What do they plan to do?" Su Yu asked curiously.

"The elders didn't say anything, just told me to return to the sect as soon as possible, the sooner the better."

"Is that so?" Su Yu asked, somewhat disappointed.

He originally wanted to take advantage of Ji Ruqing a few more times, but he didn't expect him to leave so soon.

Damn, he's busy eliminating demonic energy, he hasn't even finished one round yet!

Keenly noticing the hint of disappointment in Su Yu's eyes, Ji Ruqing secretly rejoiced.

It seems that Qingyi still enjoys being with him; she doesn't reject him.

He said softly at that moment:

"Qingyi, what are your plans for the future? Are you going straight back to Zhan Yue Sect?"

Su Yu paused for a moment, then said, "I...maybe."

is it?

So I'll see him again?

Ji Ruqing sighed softly in her heart.

From the moment he met Qingyi at Lingxiao Mountain until now, there are still many things he hasn't said.

But he dares not say it, and he cannot say it now.

We can only wait for a suitable time to talk about it in person.

However, he wasn't actually that disappointed that Ye Xuan would come into contact with Qingyi.

After all, he hadn't lost, and he was still wearing the jade hairpin he had given to Qingyi.

Thinking of this, all his worries disappeared.

Moreover, he had a feeling that the Lingxiao Mountain matter was very serious and that they would definitely meet again soon.

"By the way, now that you're leaving, and considering how long you've been protecting me, that's all."

"Before I leave, let me do something for you too," Su Yu said with a smile.

"Oh? What is it?" Ji Ruqing's eyes lit up.

He knew perfectly well that Qingyi didn't mean it that way, but why was he so curious?

Sending clothes?

Or should I give her a farewell hug?

"Go out for a while, then come back in later," Su Yu said solemnly.

"Go out first??" Ji Ruqing's starry eyes widened like copper bells.

Go outside first? Why go outside? Is what you're doing something so embarrassing?

This...this...this!

In an instant, Ji Ruqing's Dao heart became unstable.

If a girl you like, a woman of unparalleled beauty, a fairy in white, were to say such ambiguous words, wouldn't anyone start to overthink it?

"......it is good."

He could only manage to utter a single, dry word in response.

Then he walked out stiffly, looking like a puppet.

"This guy....."

Seeing Ji Ruqing's appearance made Su Yu secretly shake her head.

He immediately took out all the rare and precious materials from his spatial ring, converted them all into spiritual liquid, and then mixed them together.

When all the rare and precious materials inside are combined together.

Su Yu poured in some more water to dilute it, and then added a few green tea leaves.

A cup of pure, natural, and pollution-free all-in-one nourishing green tea soup is born!

"I've smuggled in all my rare and precious materials, let's see how little reward you can offer." Su Yu looked at her masterpiece with satisfaction.

A moment later, he immediately called Ji Ruqing in.

With a whoosh, Ji Ruqing appeared in front of Su Yu as a bolt of lightning.

Its speed was so great that it stirred up a gust of wind, blowing Su Yu's skirt.

He looked left and right, and after finding nothing, his gaze fell on a large cup of green tea that Su Yu was holding in front of her chest with both hands.

His starry eyes widened again, and the excitement on his face instantly vanished, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his body, leaving him stunned on the spot.

Why is it it again?

It actually followed us here?!

"......"

"What? Don't you like it?"

Noticing Ji Ruqing's hesitation, Su Yu blinked her clear eyes at him.

"No, it's not."

"I just felt that this aura was somewhat familiar."

Ji Ruqing took the green tea from Su Yu's hand and glanced back at Su Yu.

The latter was seen gently stroking the hair behind her ear with her slender hand, stroking it down to her shoulder.

In an instant, her delicate, fair earlobe was revealed, as translucent as a finely carved jade sculpture, making one want to take a bite.

Su Yu leaned slightly forward, her beauty unparalleled and her elegance unmatched.

She wore a faint smile, along with a hint of expectant anticipation.

Ji Ruqing was completely stunned. He felt that there was no woman in the world more beautiful than Qingyi.

Her beauty transcends time and space, transcends this world...

Why fear the bitterness of highly nourishing foods!

Ji Ruqing snapped out of his daze and realized that his heart was pounding wildly.

I don't know if she wanted to calm her mind or if she was afraid to meet those bright, clear eyes.

Finally, he chose to lift the large teacup and drink it down in one gulp.

After he swallowed it completely, the system's voice resounded in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, your investment has been successful!]

[Investment Resources: Heavenly King True Clouds, Nine Palaces Sulfur, Spirit Purple Pill, Pure Spirit Dew, Imperial Dragon Orchid...; Investment Target: Ji Ruqing (Red Destiny), Investment Method: Drinking Tea]

[Rewards are currently being distributed...]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Grade 8 Heavenly Treasure - Taiyi Buddha Milk, 10 White Yuan Stones, Void Mirror (can be used three times), and Ruyi Card!]

"......"

This reward is pretty good.

He was forced to use the Ruyi Card, but unexpectedly, he received a replacement Ruyi Card this time.

"Cough cough, Qingyi, I've finished drinking... I've finished."

Ji Ruqing swallowed all the green tea.

Su Yu's smile was radiant. "Hmm, how does it taste?"

"...It tastes good."

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now, Qingyi. I'll definitely come back to find you later."

"Then until we meet again."

Ji Ruqing left like a gust of wind, coming and going in a hurry.

"Sigh~ He's such a decisive man."

Is it possible that he felt like throwing up after drinking this? And ran away immediately because he didn't want you to see?

Su Yu's eyes widened. "Impossible!"

"These are all highly nourishing treasures! They're all high-grade rare and precious herbs, how could they possibly taste bad?"

[...Rare and precious medicinal herbs may have strong medicinal effects, but that doesn't mean they taste good, my dear host.]

"Uh..." Su Yu coughed lightly.

"It may taste a bit unpleasant, but it will greatly help him break through to the Heavenly Venerable Realm."

Ji Ruqing is gone.

Su Yu then began to ponder the Void Mirror.

"System, what's the use of this?"

[This Void Mirror allows the host to be free from all causal relationships. As long as the host writes the target's name on the mirror and imagines their appearance, they can remotely observe the target's behavior and ongoing activities.]

"Huh? Just spying? How useless!" Su Yu was extremely disappointed. He thought it was some powerful magic weapon, but it turned out to be nothing?

It's good enough that it's even useful; if the host uses it properly, it can play a crucial role at critical moments.

Su Yu didn't say anything. Indeed, having something was better than not having anything, right?

"In that case, I'll test this Void Mirror to see what it's all about."

Su Yu began to ponder the Void Mirror and spy on others.

He now has three candidates.

One is Ye Xuan.

The second Li Cangyao.

The third emperor is Lin Yuan.
