Everyone's all smiles on the surface but secretly cunning, but the junior sister only wants to

"I didn't mean it! Don't make things up and frame an innocent person." Jiang Moqi quickly waved his hand and hurriedly explained. His clear eyes were fixed on the other person, as if he wanted to convey his innocence and sincerity through his gaze.

Jiang Shiliu, sitting to the side, took a sip of her health-preserving tea, then slowly put down her cup. A slight smile played on her lips. "I doubt you have the guts," she said, "but I do have that plan. Look, I've already increased the dosage to the maximum, and none of the disciples in the sect have experienced any adverse reactions. Tsk tsk tsk, it seems the medicine is quite effective! So, I'm thinking of going to the back mountain to catch a few Green Wind Oxen and make some delicious food to reward everyone. After all, the toxins in their bodies have been mostly eliminated, and they can start enjoying some of the delicacies that we cultivators should eat." As she spoke, she blinked slightly, a sly glint in her eyes.

Upon hearing the words "Azure Wind Ox," Jiang Moqi's eyes lit up instantly. He eagerly interjected, "Azure Wind Ox! Hehe, what a coincidence! My Baiweizhai uses exactly this top-quality ingredient! How about it, do you need me to prepare a few exquisite dishes for you? That way, you won't have to cook yourself. Just give me your antidote pill. I'll instruct the chef to cleverly slip it into the dishes, absolutely without anyone noticing! And don't worry, there definitely won't be any adverse reactions." He then looked at Jiang Shiliu expectantly, awaiting her response.

However, Jiang Shiliu wasn't so easily fooled. She raised an eyebrow and asked suspiciously, "Hmm? Why are you suddenly being so nice to me? There's no smoke without fire! Tell me, what do you want from me this time?"

"Look at what you're saying! Do I look like that kind of person?" Jiang Moqi raised one eyebrow slightly, staring intently at the other person, his tone carrying a hint of dissatisfaction and questioning.

Jiang Shiliu met his gaze without flinching, a mocking smile playing on her lips, before directly retorting, "Don't you look like it?" Her voice was clear and firm, as if she had already seen through Jiang Moqi's thoughts.

Jiang Moqi clicked his tongue lightly, seemingly somewhat helpless, but quickly composed himself and said seriously, "Tsk, there is indeed something I need your help with. I have a kind of pill that I have been unable to refine successfully, so I would like to ask you to help me refine it and give it to me."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shiliu frowned and looked at him with suspicion, asking, "What kind of pill? Even an experienced and highly skilled alchemist like Elder Gu couldn't refine it?"

Jiang Moqi took a deep breath and slowly uttered five words: "Azure Sea Reincarnation Pill".

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shiliu's expression instantly turned solemn. Her eyes widened, and she exclaimed incredulously, "This is a divine-grade pill that has been lost for a long time! Do you have the formula and the necessary materials? Although I can try to refine it, I really can't guarantee what grade I can ultimately achieve. Moreover... what exactly do you intend to do with this pill? Furthermore, it's the Azure Sea Reincarnation Pill. Once this pill is consumed, the person who takes it will be trapped in an endless cycle of reincarnation for countless lifetimes, unable to escape."

Faced with Jiang Shiliu's series of questions and concerns, Jiang Moqi simply smiled faintly and calmly replied, "I naturally have my uses. In any case, for now, I will definitely not have any adverse effects on this cultivation continent we are on." However, only he himself knew that there was still half a sentence he hadn't said—at least not for the time being!

After Jiang Shiliu devoured all the food on the table like a whirlwind, she patted her still-flat belly with satisfaction, let out a lazy burp, and muttered, "Ugh, I just finished eating and I'm already feeling sleepy! Could it be like what people say, that it's because I ate too many carbohydrates that I'm dizzy and sleepy?"

Hearing this, Jiang Moqi, who was sitting to the side, was taken aback at first, and then couldn't help but chuckle. He looked at Jiang Shiliu teasingly and said, "Little Shiliu, you're clearly just making excuses to take a nap! But there are still some hours before the competition starts, so why don't you just sleep here for a while, and I'll wake you up when it's almost time."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shiliu blushed slightly and retorted somewhat embarrassedly, "No way! I didn't mean to be lazy and sleep! Besides... and this isn't a good idea, is it? A man and a woman alone in a room together, it would damage my reputation if word got out! Don't you understand the principle of men and women not touching each other?"

However, Jiang Moqi didn't seem to care, a mischievous smile playing on his lips as he continued, "Oh ho, so now you understand the importance of men and women not touching each other! But I still remember last night, someone sneaked into another man's room under the cover of darkness..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Shiliu hurriedly interrupted him: "Alright, alright! Stop talking! It would be too rude to continue! Humph, I'll sleep if I want, do you think I'm afraid of you? Xiaoqing, quickly show yourself and keep an eye on this guy for me. If he dares to do anything improper to me, I'll skin him alive!"

As Jiang Shiliu finished speaking, a small and exquisite azure dragon appeared out of thin air beside her. The little azure dragon was lively and adorable, blinking its big eyes and obediently nodding in response, "Yes, Master. You can rest assured and rest now. Master's innocence will be protected by this divine beast!" With that, it bared its teeth at Jiang Moqi in a defiant manner, as if warning him not to act rashly.

Looking at the little toy before him, Jiang Moqi felt a surge of inexplicable affection. The little creature was exquisitely small and incredibly cute. After Jiang Shiliu drifted into a deep sleep, Jiang Moqi tiptoed to the bedside, his gaze tenderly fixed on her, careful not to disturb her sweet dreams. At the same time, he also carefully observed whether Jiang Shiliu would be troubled by nightmares as usual.

Just then, the azure dragon that had been quietly lying beside Jiang Shiliu's pillow suddenly raised its head, baring its teeth and claws at Jiang Moqi, looking fierce and menacing. However, faced with this sudden provocation, Jiang Moqi merely smiled slightly and calmly cast a subtle spell. As the spell's light flashed, Jiang Shiliu's breathing became more even and deep, clearly indicating that she was sleeping more soundly and peacefully than before.

At this moment, Jiang Moqi was tightly gripping the restless little azure dragon in his hand. The little azure dragon struggled fiercely, shouting incessantly, "You audacious mortal! How dare you be so disrespectful to this divine beast! Let me tell you, I am the Azure Dragon, one of the Four Divine Beasts! If you know what's good for you, release your filthy hand right now, or you'll be in deep trouble when my master wakes up! Also, I'm going to report you to my master, saying that you harbor treacherous intentions and are plotting against her!"

Hearing these threatening words, Jiang Moqi showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, a sly smile crept onto his lips. He coldly replied, "Heh! You ignorant little dragon, if you dare to utter a single word about this, don't blame me for being ruthless. Believe me or not, I'll pluck all your dragon scales off one by one and then put them back on for you. Don't be crying and begging for mercy then!"
