Stealing the female lead's favor turns her from a heartthrob to a universally disliked figure.

"Little Li, let's just look around from the outside!" the Spirit Chef Peak Master said softly.

Although the Divine Essence Fruit is good, they are definitely no match for those ten strange beasts, nor can they compete with Fu Changye and the Pavilion Master of the Yi Hai Pavilion who are hiding in the shadows.

Li Qingqing understood, so she nodded, "I know, we'll just watch and broaden our horizons."

However, although Fu Changye was a member of their Nine Spirits Sect, based on the hatred from their previous life, she did not want Fu Changye to obtain the Divine Essence Fruit.

She thought that when the Divine Essence Fruit ripened, she could cause some trouble.

I don't even know if my Divine Void Flower-Picking Hand technique is any good!

Just then, a faint voice came from the sky.

"Note: The Divine Essence Fruits are about to ripen. Tell these people and beasts to wait for another twenty breaths and harvest the eighty-eight Divine Essence Fruits hidden under the divine barrier first."

Li Qingqing paused for a moment, then stared at the Divine Essence Fruit Tree with even greater focus.

Suddenly, she saw the Divine Essence Fruit Tree shrouded in mist, and on the branches that had no Divine Essence Fruit, eighty-eight seemingly real yet illusory points of light appeared.

When she saw that one of the light spots had disappeared, she used the Divine Void Flower-Picking Hand almost without thinking, reaching towards the remaining light spot.

Although the light spots on the branches disappeared quickly, Li Qingqing's Divine Void Flower-Picking Hand was not slow either. She consciously tapped the light spots at the bottom of the branches a few times and actually managed to snatch five Divine Essence Fruits.

When Li Qingqing quickly put the suddenly appearing Divine Essence Fruit back into the shared space, Yao Han and Lan Cen, who happened to see several more Divine Essence Fruits in her hand, were both stunned.

When he looked up again, it was just as the Divine Essence Fruit was ripening, the strange beasts were rampaging, and Fu Changye and the others were scrambling to seize the Divine Essence Fruit.

As they scrambled to snatch the fruit, Li Qingqing frantically plucked and picked the Divine Essence Fruits from the tree, one after another, until she had snatched them all.

After placing two more Divine Essence Fruits into the shared space, she put the remaining ten Divine Essence Fruits into her private supply depot.

When the Spirit Chef Peak Master saw that the Divine Essence Fruit Tree was empty, he quickly regained his senses and called out to Li Qingqing, "A fight has broken out! Little Li, let's run, run far away! Don't get caught in the crossfire."

"Okay, let's run east!" Li Qingqing didn't waste any more time and led the way eastward.

On their way, they encountered a large group of people and a large group of magical beasts. Li Qingqing noticed that there were also magical creatures flying in the air. Without thinking twice, she immediately made a hand seal to draw out the five elements of spiritual energy and transform it into a dazzling five elements flower sword. She then used it to make brilliant blood flowers bloom on the heads of the magical beasts.

When the Spirit Chef Peak Master saw how domineering Li Qingqing's killing move was, he was first taken aback, and then he also attacked the approaching magical beast.

Xia Nanfeng and his companions were also forced to begin their training through killing.

After a fierce battle, more and more magical beasts were attracted to the area, creating the appearance of a magical beast horde gathering.

Sensing something was wrong, the Spirit Chef Peak Master immediately activated a life-saving teleportation array and fled with Li Qingqing and the others.

No sooner had they left than Fu Changye and the Pavilion Master of Yihai Pavilion arrived here.

A group of powerful figures fought to the death but failed to obtain even half a Divine Essence Fruit. Enraged, they took their anger out on the magical beasts blocking their path, causing the low- and mid-level magical beasts to die and be wounded at lightning speed.

By the time they joined forces to wipe out the wave of monsters and questioned each other about who stole the Divine Essence Fruit, Li Qingqing and her group had already appeared on a barren rocky mountain.

Below the mountain was a ruined city that appeared to have been ravaged by fire.

After her initial surprise, Li Qingqing turned to look at the Spirit Chef Peak Master, "Senior Uncle, what is that place? Have you been here before?"

The Spirit Chef Peak Master shook his head. "I've never been here, but I've heard that the ruined city below is probably a forbidden area of ​​the Divine Ruins. Do you see that black, blood-stained city gate? It's sealed, and ordinary people can't get in."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingqing suddenly thought of her ten unsealed boxes.

"Master Uncle, can you break the seal?"

“Only the most basic method is known to the Spirit Talisman Peak Master. Let’s rest here for a while, have something to eat, and recharge.” As he spoke, he took out a large box of Qingning dumplings and gave it to Li Qingqing.

Li Qingqing smiled slightly and did not refuse. Instead, she took out the bottle containing the top-grade breakthrough pill and gave it to him.

"Senior Uncle, please eat this! It will help your cultivation level rise to the next level."

The Spirit Chef Peak Master opened the pill bottle and was stunned. "This is a top-grade Breakthrough Pill? You really want to give it to me?"

Actually, she could have saved this pill for later use!

It should be noted that a large part of the reason Fu Changye came to the Divine Ruins was to gather all the materials needed to refine the Breakthrough Pill, and to refine a top-grade Breakthrough Pill.

He hadn't done anything yet, and Little Li had already given him a pill.

"Yes, I really want to give it to my senior master. In the Nine Spirits Sect, my senior master is the best elder to me, but your cultivation is much lower than that of the Spirit Healer Peak Master. Only when you become stronger can you have more say in the Nine Spirits Sect, so that you won't be bullied, and you can protect the disciples of the Spirit Chef Peak and our Spirit Qin Peak when necessary."

Li Qingqing's words were very straightforward and sincere.

Because that's what she thinks.

After all, in some matters, one hand cannot clap!

After pondering for a moment, the Spirit Chef Peak Master whispered to her, "Why don't we give this top-grade Breakthrough Pill to Elder Wu? Let him break through and his strength will be closer to that guy Fu Changye. Elder Wu is more upright and protective of his own."

He himself took a top-grade breakthrough pill, but at most his cultivation level would only reach the Spirit Division Realm, which is far too weak compared to the Divine Transformation Realm.

To put it bluntly, in the Nine Spirits Sect, his strength is at the bottom among all the peak masters. He also needs someone to protect him so that he can have a backer and better protect Xiao Li.

You should know that deep down he actually loathed Fu Changye.

Hearing the thoughts of the Spirit Chef Peak Master, Li Qingqing nodded gently, "Then I'll listen to my senior master."

Upon seeing that Li Qingqing had agreed, the Spirit Chef Peak Master immediately sought a way to contact Elder Wu.

"Master, can we eat that fruit now?" Ye Bei asked softly.

Because his master had pulled him back during the fight with the monster to prevent him from being injured, he was able to hear the thoughts of the Spirit Chef Peak Master.

He now wants to become stronger, to become his master's pride, and to protect his master and their Lingqin Peak in the future.

Knowing that he was asking about the Divine Essence Fruit, Li Qingqing also took a Divine Essence Fruit and put it into the Spirit Chef Peak Master's hand.

"Uncle-Master, have some."

The Spirit Chef Peak Master, who had just made contact with Elder Wu, looked down, paused for a moment, and then nodded in surprise.

"Eat! Eat right now!"

This is a Divine Essence Fruit!

When exactly did this girl steal the fruit?

He didn't notice a thing!
