White clouds drift in the blue sky, while Yu Xianxian sits by the lake fishing.

Yes, fishing, the kind where you can easily lose your catch if you're not careful.

"Why am I here fishing too?"

Yu Xianxian lowered her head, her eyes filled with crocodile tears, clearly looking very unwilling.

"Xianxian, if you're bored, why don't you go and rest over there?"

As soon as Su Jin'er finished speaking, before Yu Xianxian could even reply, Lin Zifu spoke up.

"No."

"Why not? I wasn't talking to you... Ouch, that hurts."

Having been stabbed on the head again, Yu Xianxian now seriously doubts whether she can keep her head.

“You said you would return the fish to me today.”

"That's because we didn't return it, and you kept grabbing Jin'er's clothes and wouldn't let go. Ugh, I think you're just..."

"Slap," another chop to the neck.

Yu Xianxian: ……

"No, I was just fishing, why did you have to resort to violence?"

"You're too noisy, you've scared the fish away."

"Tch, if you didn't beat me up, would I be making a fuss?"

Yu Xianxian pouted and continued to concentrate on fishing. There was no way around it; the two of them had to fish for five people. She didn't know how that heartless guy calculated things; they had only damaged one fish.

Can such a crudely made fishing rod really catch rare fish? Why does she always feel like Lin Zifu is playing a trick on her?

Behind Yu Xianxian, Lin Zifu watched her turn her head, and the gloom in his eyes returned.

For some reason, he felt particularly irritated whenever he saw Yu Xianxian, and strange images kept flashing through his mind—images of him being killed by her, and the aura emanating from her at the time making him extremely uncomfortable.

Shaking his head, Lin Zifu regained his clarity and lay down to bask in the sun.

Forget it, he's still alive and well, let's wait until they return all the fish first.

What are the three people on the other side who aren't fishing doing right now?

Shangguan Huan held up a storage bag and handed it to Yunmeng, his tone very sincere.

"I desperately need the Blazing Flame Pill, and I humbly request Fellow Daoist Yun to refine it for me. Here are the materials I have prepared. As long as Fellow Daoist Yun can refine it for me, I am willing to agree to any conditions."

Yunmeng thought the other person was going to do something and pulled her aside, but then she saw the other person bow to her at a ninety-degree angle.

"It doesn't have to be this way."

Like Ling Yao, Yun Meng wasn't very good at bowing to people, so she had to ask them to stand up first.

"Although it may be somewhat impolite, could you please agree first, Fellow Daoist Yun? Otherwise, I might have to follow Fellow Daoist Lin's example and keep bothering you."

Rude Lin Zifu: Ah, who's talking about him?

"Senior sister, why don't you help him refine it? He gave away five high-grade Fire Control Pills for that Azure Flame Ganoderma."

At this moment, Yu Xianxian, who should have been fishing, suddenly appeared next to Yunmeng and began to whisper sweet nothings in Yunmeng's ear.

After all, having gotten five high-grade Fire Control Pills for free, even someone as shameless as Yu Xianxian felt a little embarrassed.

"It's not that I'm unwilling, but I've never refined this Blazing Flame Pill before, so I might not be able to succeed."

"It's alright, I trust Fellow Daoist Yun, I will take full responsibility for all the consequences."

Yunmeng sighed, "This is really..."

"Alright, I will try my best after returning to the Immortal Sect. Please invite Fellow Daoist Shangguan to Spirit Medicine Peak in five days. I will be waiting at the summit."

"Thank you."

Only after Yunmeng put away the storage bag did Shangguan Huan stand up again.

"No need for payment. My junior sister was saved from falling into the belly of a fish thanks to Fellow Daoist Shangguan's spiritual artifact. Consider this my way of thanking Fellow Daoist Shangguan on behalf of my junior sister."

As she spoke, Yunmeng pulled Yu Xianxian, who was about to go back to fishing after catching some fish, to her side.

He reached into Shangguan Huan's sleeve, pulled out a bottle of pills, and tossed it into Shangguan Huan's hand.

“I know my junior sister’s strength. She certainly didn’t obtain the Azure Flame Herb through her own strength, so there’s no need for the Fire Control Pill.”

"Who says it's not about skill? Luck is part of skill too, okay?"

Yu Xianxian was not convinced, Yu Xianxian was very unconvinced, and she wanted to speak up for herself.

But the next second, her mouth was stuffed shut by a bottle of pills from Yunmeng—literally, physically.

Is this enough?

"Enough is enough."

Yu Xianxian took the medicine bottle out of her mouth, wiped it on her clothes without any disgust, and then happily went fishing.

I love her senior's domineering CEO-like behavior, hehehe.

Looking at Yu Xianxian, who was practically hopping away on one leg like a complete idiot, Shangguan Huan's lips twitched, and then he bowed to Yunmeng again.

"Thank you very much."

"No need."

Yunmeng waved her hand, then sat down and began to meditate. She felt that her thoughts were not stable, as if she had forgotten something important and needed to sort them out.

Seeing this, Shangguan Huan naturally left without disturbing him further.

Then, as he turned around, he bumped into a green... claw.

He subconsciously drew his magical weapon, but when he saw the person in front of him clearly, he was stunned.

It's Bai Ge.

Bai Ge looked at his left arm, which seemed a bit off, and was quite puzzled.

Are you sick?

The magical weapon in his hand was still not taken back, after all, Bai Ge really looked like he might mutate and bite people at any moment.

"No, it's a shapeshifting technique."

The next second, Bai Ge's hand returned to its original state, but the sleeve on his left arm was now in pieces.

Fortunately, the school uniforms of the immortal sects—no, I mean the Taoist robes of the immortal sects—are made of a very special material that can be repaired with spiritual power.

Therefore, Bai Ge was able to use the Transformation Technique without any restraint.

"Transformation technique?"

Shangguan Huan had heard that as long as one signs a contract with a spirit beast, one can borrow a part of its body.

However, Bai Ge's claws...

"Your claws are quite rare."

Shangguan Huan put away the magical artifact and breathed a sigh of relief. That was close; he thought it was another one about to go crazy.

Sigh, why did he say "again"?

"That's certainly rare."

Bai Ge's eyes were full of confusion. She had no recollection of ever signing a contract with any spirit beast for this claw. Moreover, why did this claw look so much like a dragon from legend?

That's right, this is what Yu Xianxian specifically left for Bai Ge when she revised the script. The Dragon Claw—a great item that can both defend and attack—is practically a cheat code, isn't it? How could he not want it?

He was completely baffled when a bottle of pills suddenly appeared and interrupted his thoughts.

Looking at the Fire Control Pill being handed to her, Bai Ge looked up at Shangguan Huan, her eyes filled with even more doubt.

"Ahem, thank you for drawing away the Thunder Spider earlier. This is a token of my gratitude."

Bai Ge looked Shangguan Huan up and down, then opened the medicine bottle and examined it carefully.

Seeing her actions, Shangguan Huan finally couldn't help but ask.

"What are you doing?"

"It's nothing. I just felt there was a conspiracy behind your sudden gift of pills."

Shangguan Huan: ...I hope I never run into this woman again after I leave.
