The villain, Xiao Nanliang, caused the female lead excruciating pain.

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Su Qi walked in with a person.

"Fei'er, Steward Li from the Hall of Offerings is looking for you!"

Su Qi invited the person in, then picked up the spirit sword from the ground again and began to wield it with great skill.

He didn't make eye contact with Deacon Li the entire time, acting as if we weren't familiar with each other.

Mu Feier narrowed her eyes; her intuition told her that these two people were up to something.

"Hehehe... Elder Mu and Young Master Su, are they practicing their swordsmanship?" Deacon Li greeted them with a smile.

"What brings you here, Steward Li?"

“Elder Mu came to our offering hall to collect his monthly salary a few days ago, right? We hadn’t prepared it before, so I’m bringing it to Elder Mu now.”

As he spoke, Steward Li took out a storage bag from his storage ring.

This thing is different from a storage ring. It is cheap to make, easy to break, and will break after a few uses. It is a convenient bag in the cultivation world.

Mu Feier raised an eyebrow, glanced at Su Qi, took the storage bag, and probed it with her spiritual power, thinking to herself, "Just as I thought."

The monthly stipend distributed by the temple this time is as generous as before.

It becomes clear after a little thought.

Since Su Qi was not dead, Senior Sister Du, as the sect leader, naturally felt embarrassed to keep Su Yun's inheritance and returned it to Su Qi.

Before returning to Qifeng Courtyard last night, Su Qi apparently went to see Steward Li first. The two colluded again to send her cultivation resources under the guise of her monthly salary.

It's a lie to say that Mufier wasn't moved.

This idiot... He had already decided to divorce her, yet he still foolishly sent her cultivation resources.

But now that she knows the whole truth, how can she still take Su Qi's sacrifices for granted?

After weighing the storage bag in her hand, Mu Feier casually tossed it to Su Qi.

Su Qi, who was pretending to practice swordsmanship with a straight face, was startled and almost chopped the storage bag in half. He hurriedly took it and looked at Mu Feier with a blank expression.

"This is for your cultivation; you can't refuse!"

Mufiel spoke in a commanding tone, raising an eyebrow, feeling that she had done a perfect job.

You little punk, still trying to fool me?

Su Qi looked at the storage bag in his hand, then at Mu Feier, with an expression of utter disbelief.

But in reality, he was quite happy.

Su Qi had long guessed that Mu Feier, who thought she knew all the truth, would not continue to accept his funding.

Then why would he continue to collude with Deacon Li to send resources?

Isn't that redundant?

Of course, it's to gain favor.

The item was handed over from Su Qi, passed through Deacon Li to Mu Feier, and then Mu Feier, feeling embarrassed to accept it, made an excuse to return it to him.

This round not only didn't reduce her income, but actually increased it by one hundred mid-grade spirit stones per month for Mu Feier.

I also managed to improve my relationship with Mufier.

It has also made a huge contribution to the GDP of the cultivation world.

This deal is a guaranteed money-maker!

Both sides were happy after the round, except for Steward Li.

So... I'm part of your couple's play?

Damn it, Old Li is almost a hundred years old, and I never thought I'd still have to eat your dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).

You little rascal, you're quite the player!

Sensing the resentful gaze of Deacon Li, Su Qi looked completely innocent, his eyes conveying, "I didn't know it would turn out like this."

Mu Feier watched the interaction between the two and was very pleased with herself.

She! Mufier! Will never be kept in the dark again!

Old Li left looking dejected.

Su Qi looked at Mu Feier with the storage bag in his hand, wanting to force it back.

"Fei'er, this is your monthly salary. You need it more than I do, so I can't accept it. If others find out, they'll laugh at me for being a kept man!"

"Just take it if I give it to you!"

Mu Feier spoke in an unyielding tone, then said with an arrogant expression.

"I don't need these things at my current level. If I want to continue to improve, I need to rely on enlightenment. There's no use for me keeping them. I might as well make use of them to improve your cultivation. Your level is too low. You're a disgrace to me."

He looked disgusted when he finished speaking.

However, she was clearly lying. After sacrificing her cultivation to save Su Qi's life, she fell to the late stage of the Golden Core realm, which was exactly when she desperately needed cultivation resources.

However, no matter how much she lacked resources, Mu Feier had already decided that she would no longer accept cultivation resources offered by Su Qi.

She didn't know this before and thought these things came from the sect, so she could enjoy them without a care in the world. Now, her pride won't allow her to enjoy being kept by someone else.

Not only will she not accept it in the future, Mu Feier also plans to repay Su Qi all the debts she owed him in the past.

That's why she's the female lead—she's got guts!

"really?"

Su Qi looked suspicious. Since they had already used such an excuse, what could he do but reluctantly accept it?

However, that's certainly not the right way to put it.

"Then I'll keep it for you. You can ask me for it anytime you need it."

Mu Feier felt a warmth in her heart upon hearing this.

She knew all too well that the cultivation resources in the storage bag were enough for outside rogue cultivators to fight tooth and nail for.

"Use it as I say. If I don't see any improvement in your cultivation within a year, you can forget about eating delicious food in the future."

"what?!"

Su Qi's face fell, and he looked like a deflated balloon.

Mu Feier was very pleased to see this. For some reason, she really enjoyed seeing Su Qi looking so miserable.

Gululu...

The untimely gurgling sound rang out again.

Mu Feier's smug expression froze instantly, and she narrowed her eyes as she looked at Su Qi and questioned him.

Are you hungry again?

I just took a fasting pill not long ago, so it's impossible for me to be hungry so soon.

The only explanation is that Su Qi did not swallow the Bigu Pill at the time, but spat it out when he shrank back into the blanket.

"No...no..." Su Qi's expression showed obvious guilt, his eyes darted around, and he suddenly clutched his stomach and cried out, "It must be that your fasting pills have expired. I feel like my stomach is a mess. I can't take it anymore."

After saying that, he ran straight to the toilet.

Seeing this, Mu Feier also became somewhat insecure, after all, that bottle of fasting pills had indeed been sitting for a long time.

She took one out of her storage ring, poured it out, and put it in her mouth without hesitation.

Chewed.

The taste hasn't changed!

Could it be that Su Qi's stomach and intestines are too weak after recovering from a serious illness, and he cannot adapt to the effects of the Bigu Pill for a while?

About half an incense stick later, Su Qi returned with a satisfied look on his face.

"Are you okay?"

Mu Feier asked with some concern, her gaze sweeping over Su Qi.

"No...it's okay now, I feel perfectly fine."

Su Qi grinned, revealing a carefree smile.

Mu Feier felt a little relieved and was about to look away.

But suddenly she saw something, and her eyes narrowed.

He flashed in front of Su Qi, reached out and pried open his mouth, saw the vegetable leaves stuck between his teeth, and immediately sneered.

"You ate quite a lot while you were in the bathroom?"

Su Qi's expression froze, and a guilty conscience showed on his face.

"Haha, Fei'er, what did you say? I don't understand."

No sooner had he finished speaking than he heard someone shouting outside the door.

"Young Master Su, you haven't paid me my errand fee yet!!!"
