She became a god

Xie Jiyue scolded, "Ignorant man! Even if Ye Qingzhou is just an ordinary princess of the demon race, we should still treat her with courtesy. Besides, she has the Lord of the Underworld and the Demon Lord backing her up. How can you act recklessly?"

Reprimanded by the city lord, Xie Jichen wept uncontrollably.

Tan Min, the wife, was only concerned with whether she could obtain a good medicine for her son. "I wonder what Princess Ye's preferences are. If we can cater to her preferences, our chances of successfully obtaining the medicine will increase."

"I heard that Ye Qingzhou loves money more than anything. He gambled with others while attending the Yuya Grand Ceremony and even took down Xuecheng's wanted poster for Xue Suimu for money."

Tan Min was relieved upon hearing this. "In that case, we should be able to obtain the Nine-Flower Pill by offering a large sum of money."

“Minmei’s thinking is too simplistic. The Nine-Flower Pill is not only Kang’er’s life-saving medicine, but also Ye Qingzhou’s life-saving pill. I’m afraid she might not be willing to give it away so easily.”

Tan Min smiled wryly, "No matter what, we have to give it a try first."

Seeing her lord and friend so sad, Jing Lan couldn't help but sigh, "If we had known this would happen, we should have sent some cultivators into the Nine Netherworld Secret Realm back then."

Twenty years ago, the Nine Netherworld Secret Realm opened, and various forces sent cultivators in to search for the Nine Netherworld Fruit and other treasures.

The Nine Nether Fruit is an extremely rare spiritual fruit; consuming it can grant one an extra life.

If they had the Nine Nether Fruit, they wouldn't be racking their brains to please a junior like they are today.

……

Inside a luxurious private room at Tianxianglou.

Inside the room was a small stove with an iron plate on top. Around the edge of the iron plate were a few oranges and a handful of chestnuts.

Ye Qingzhou skillfully added oil, grilled the meat, and prepared the dipping sauce.

Meat is still the best!

The rain was still falling outside the window, but the person outside the door couldn't wait any longer.

Ye Qingzhou sighed softly; what she had to avoid, she couldn't avoid.

Her prestigious status gave her a sense of security, but it also filled her life with deceit and treachery.

Fortunately, she kept moving up the ranks, so she was able to see many cultivators bowing and scraping just to please her.

Furthermore, it's quite interesting to observe from the sidelines how some cultivators both despise her cultivation level and fear her powerful backers, ultimately having to figure out her thoughts and act accordingly.

Ye Qingzhou then wiped his hands and asked, "Which fellow Daoist is outside the door?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened, revealing an unfamiliar figure.

The unfamiliar cultivator said, "I'm returning to the Jing family in the city; I have a favor to ask."

Ye Qingzhou said calmly, "You've come to the wrong place."

She doesn't run a charity and help everyone she sees.

The gate moved as he wished, and just before it closed, the monk said, "I know Master Yuantong."

Ye Qingzhou then looked at her properly. She had long eyebrows, phoenix eyes, high cheekbones, a straight nose, and thick lips. There were still a few drops of water on her dark blue clothes, indicating that she had just come from outside and had gone straight to her residence after taking off her raincoat.

This must be a very opinionated and assertive woman.

The woman eventually came in. Seeing that Ye Qingzhou was indifferent to her, she introduced herself, "My name is Jing Jie, the nephew of General Jing Lan, and a good friend of Master Yuantong."

"and then?"

After Jingjie introduced herself, Ye Qingzhou was almost certain that the other party did not know Yuantong.

Yuantong has always avoided women like the plague, fearing that Lu Sinian would misunderstand and force him to leave the monastic life and start a family. So how could he have any female friends?

Even towards men, Yuantong remained indifferent.

Seeing Ye Qingzhou's indifference, Jing Jie dared not utter the words she had prepared.

Upon learning that Ye Qingzhou was staying at Tianxiang Tower, Jing Jie knew that her chance to make a contribution might have arrived.

She was from a collateral branch of the Jing family, but she also had her own ambitions and knew the importance of standing out from the crowd.

Since she had met Master Yuantong twice before, Jingjie saw this as an opportunity to build a connection.

Unexpectedly, although Ye Qingzhou let her in, he was not enthusiastic at all, which made her heart turn cold in her desire for medicine.

But if she can't get the medicine, how can she make a name for herself back in the city?

It would be better to steel yourself and say, “Before Master Yuantong entered the Nine Netherworld, he asked me to convey a message to you: May you be safe and well.”

The siblings exchanged nothing more than these words of blessing, and Jingjie didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said.

Sure enough, Ye Qingzhou, who had always been aloof, smiled at this moment.

But Ye Qingzhou said, "There aren't many who dare to lie to me, and you're one of them."

Jing Jie broke out in a cold sweat. She comforted herself, thinking that this was a return to the city, and she had a cousin who was the city's general with her. Ye Qingzhou probably wouldn't kill her.

Ye Qingzhou waved his sleeve, "You're not qualified to ask for medicine."

Jingjie felt a gust of wind carrying her body outside, and in the blink of an eye, she was under the eaves of Tianxiang Tower, with raindrops about to fall on her head.

As a native of the city, Jingjie quickly dodged the attack. Seeing the few remaining rain-avoiding beads in her Qiankun bag, she had no choice but to swallow one and quickly walk through the downpour, wearing a raincoat.

The Rain-Avoiding Bead is a treasure unique to nobles returning to the city. This treasure can only be used once, and its effective time is one hour.

Out of the corner of her eye, Ye Qingzhou saw Jing Jie's figure gradually disappear into the rain. She couldn't help but recall Feng Xiu's comment about her, "Zhouzhou, you're still too easy to talk to. Otherwise, why would they only dare to ask you for help and not me?"

Thinking of Feng Xiu, that living devil, Ye Qingzhou bought some fun things from her.

A burnt smell wafted from the hot plate, and Ye Qingzhou felt a pang of sadness. "Barbecue, oh barbecue, I will never neglect you when it's time to enjoy you again."

Fortunately, only a little bit was burnt, so it's still edible.

……

City Lord's Mansion.

The disheveled Jingjie reported everything Ye Qingzhou had said in detail.

After hearing this, Jing Lan admired her cousin's courage while also complaining that she was too reckless.

Tan Min angrily retorted, "We already need her help. If she mistakenly believes that we sent Jing Jie, won't she feel insulted and therefore refuse to give us the medicine?"

Xie Jiyue was much calmer. "Since Ye Qingzhou was able to see through Jing Jie's lie, he could naturally guess that Jing Jie was not sent by us."

He glanced at Jingjie, who was trembling all over, and said, "You can go down now."

He added, “Minmei, please don’t worry. Although Jingjie’s trip has alerted the enemy, it has also provided us with a direction. Just because she knows Yuantong, Ye Qingzhou is willing to let a stranger into the room. If we can do Yuantong a favor, she will definitely be willing to give us medicine.”

Tan Min nodded in agreement, "But Yuantong is in the Nine Netherworld Secret Realm, so how can we bestow favors upon him?"

Xie Jiyue laughed, "Who said we have to do him a favor right now? We have a map of the Nine Netherworld Secret Realm at home. We'll give Ye Qingzhou 100,000 high-grade spirit stones and a photocopy of the map. With this offer, she can't possibly resist."

The Xie family does indeed possess a map of the Nine Netherworld, but that map depicts the Nine Netherworld from ten thousand years ago; otherwise, the Xie family would not have been willing to part with it.

"As the aunt, I'm the one who provides the map. The 100,000 yuan for a top-quality map will have to come from you two, the mother and father."

Upon hearing this, Xie Jichen's expression changed drastically. "I don't have that much money. If it costs 100,000 high-grade spirit stones, I'd rather not treat it at all."

A heavy thud came from afar. Looking in the direction of the sound, they were surprised to see Xie Shunkang, who was bedridden with illness.
