What was this? When she recalled the appearance of the Purple Returning Fruit in the pharmacopeia, Duanmu Xi was ravished with joy.

Situ Kong’s shout of surprise sounded in her ears as if to testify her thoughts, “Xi, this is Purple Returning Fruit, a kind of material for refining Origin Restoring Pill.”

It was really Purple Returning Fruit. This was so terrific. Duanmu Xi’s eyes sparked with excitement. The trial in the Spiritual Beast Forest was worthwhile.

“Xi, this Purple Returning Fruit has been ripe. Go and pick it now.”

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi came to her senses, leaped up and picked the Purple Returning Fruit. She took out a rosewood box from her storage ring and put the Purple Returning Fruit into the box carefully. Then, she placed the rosewood box into her crystal ball.

Generally, the important things would be placed into her crystal ball by Duanmu Xi and the unimportant things would be put into her storage ring because no one but her could see or take the things out of the crystal ball. However, if someone got her storage ring and severed her ownership link, the things in the storage ring could be taken out randomly.

She finally got one of the seven required materials. It seemed that she not only needed to continue striving to find the materials for refining Origin Restoring Pill but also had to improve her ability of refining medicine. The contest of the Refining Pharmacists’ Guild was around the corner. She must win the championship so as to get the Thunderous Green Ganoderma.

At night, Situ Kong distributed the healing elixirs for the injured while Nalan Xi exerted his strength to heal Mei Luo who was most seriously injured. Chu Lian’er also woke up under Yue Ruye’s good care.

“Lian’er, you are finally awake.” Yue Ruye helped Chu Lian’er up carefully and made her lean against his shoulder.

Chu Lian’er raised her dizzy head and looked around only to find that they were in a cave. Apart from them, many people were resting here. She suddenly turned to look at Yue Ruye and then asked in joy, “We are not dead?”

Looking at Chu Lian’er’s happy appearance, Yue Ruye laughed and then nodded, “Yeah, it was Xuanyuan Mo and the others who saved us.”

“Xuanyuan Mo!” Chu Lian’er turned around to look over there. It was Xuanyuan Mo who was hugging Duanmu Xi in the corner. They were really back! This was so great! It was so great to stay alive!

Seeing that she was staring at Xuanyuan Mo, Yue Ruye felt a bit uncomfortable and gently turned her head around. He looked into her eyes and said with grievances, “Lian’er.”

“Um?” Chu Lian’er blinked her eyes in confusion.

“We are married. How can you look at another man?” Did Chu Lian’er lapse back into her old ways again? Thinking of the possibility, he had the impulse to hit the wall.

Chu Lian’er blinked her eyes in perplexity again, “When did we get married?”

What kind of memory did she have? Did she suffer a memory loss for being hit?

Yue Ruye looked at Chu Lian’er in confusion and then said carefully, “Don’t…you remember it? In the belly of Nine Heavens Python, we got married. Because the conditions didn’t permit at that time, we didn’t hold a wedding. However, regardless, we are married.”

When Chu Lian’er heard that, a glint of cunningness flashed across her eyes.

“Did that count?” Her innocent expression plus her confused voice successfully deceived the anxious Yue Ruye.

“How could it not count? Don’t you want to admit it?” Yue Ruye looked aggrieved as if being abandoned.

Chu Lian’er was amused to look at Yue Ruye’s cute expression and then threw herself into his arms, “How is it possible, Ruye? I was afraid that you didn’t think it through at that time so I wanted to give you a chance of reconsidering. Now that you don’t regret it, you can’t anymore.”

Yue Ruye hugged Chu Lian’er more tightly and then said happily, “I won’t regret it. Let’s hold the wedding right after we go back to Zhongzhou City.”

“Okay.” Chu Lian’er curled her lips. She finally got him now!

After one night’s treatment and rest, everyone was recovered more or less. They resumed the trial then.

With the participation of Nalan Xi and Situ Kong, Mei Luo and Xuanyuan Mo just left everything to them.

Half a month passed. During the period, although Nalan Xi and Situ Kong were in the team, they wouldn’t interfere easily. What they did was to give some instruction at most. Despite that, the students still benefited a lot.

The trial of the Spiritual Beast Forest helped improve the cultivation level of the students. Especially, they had gained a lot of fighting experience. Apart from that, everyone had got their contracted beasts. Huangfu Yu also found the thousand-year-old ginseng as a gift.

Most importantly, they got much more intimate. Hua Ye’er and Chu Lian’er became best friends. Since then, Xue Luochen had been always on tenterhooks for fear that his wife might be misled by Chu Lian’er. The men also got along well with each other and became bosom friends. They were Damon and Pythias.

They were no longer afraid of Xuanyuan Mo’s poker face. Everyone felt that he was aloof on the outside and yet kind on the inside. However, they still didn’t dare to get too close to Duanmu Xi. As long as they talked with Duanmu Xi, whether male or female, Xuanyuan Mo would be dissatisfied aside.

At night, everyone sat around the bonfire, listening to Nalan Xi talking.

“This time, although the trial in the Spiritual Beast Forest is full of danger, it is still a success. Tomorrow morning, we will go back to Shengjin Academy. Let’s have a good rest tonight.”

It was time to go back. Now that he and Situ Kong were both not in the academy, he was really a bit worried.

After Nalan Xi said that, the others all went to rest respectively.

Huangfu Yu walked to Duanmu Xi and Xuanyuan Mo, saying, “Xi, will you go to the Qinglong Empire to celebrate Grandpa’s birthday tomorrow?”

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi was slightly dazed. Yeah, it would be a dozen days before Grandpa’s 60th birthday. After pondering for a while, she said with a nod, “Okay.”

She would rather let Huangfu Yu who was familiar with the Qinglong Empire lead the way for them than go to the Qinglong Empire with Snow. After all, she and Snow didn’t know the way.

The next morning, the people all surrounded Duanmu Xi and Xuanyuan Mo.

“Xi, aren’t you really going back to Shengjin Academy?” Nalan Xi looked at Duanmu Xi with his eyes full of affection.

“No. This place is close to the Qinglong Empire so it is convenient to go from here to the Qinglong Empire.”

It would take three or four days to go from here to the Qinglong Empire. Nevertheless, it would take at least more than ten days to go from here to Shengjin Academy and then travel from Shengjin Academy to the Qinglong Empire. It was too inconvenient.

“Xi, don’t forget the contest of the Refining Pharmacists’ Guild.” Situ Kong also couldn’t bear to part from his precious disciple.

“Chief Master, rest assured. When I finish the matter in the Qinglong Empire, I will go to Zhongzhou City to attend the contest at once.” Duanmu Xi’s dark purple eyes slightly glittered. How could she forget the medicine refining contest? For Ying, she must become the champion and get the Thunderous Green Ganoderma.

“Xi, be careful.” Mei Luo talked least but her care was not less than Nalan Xi’s or Situ Kong’s.

Duanmu Xi nodded and said, “You too.”

Actually, she was quite worried about Third Master. The previous assassination hadn’t been figured out yet. Those people might attack Third Master again.

Mei Luo also nodded. She knew that Xi was worried about her too. At the same time, she also knew that the peace for her wouldn’t last long.

After Duanmu Xi’s three masters finished talking, it was finally the others’ turn.

Yue Ruye came first. He dragged Chu Lian’er and walked to Duanmu Xi, saying, “Miss Duanmu, I would like to invite you and Mr. Xuanyuan to our wedding.”

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi looked at Chu Lian’er and found that the latter was staring at her too.

“I’m sorry. I was wrong. I was too willful before. Please forgive me,” Chu Lian’er said and then bowed to Duanmu Xi deeply, “If you have time, please attend our wedding.”

When it came to the wedding, there was a slight flush on her cheeks.

Duanmu Xi looked at the sincere face of Chu Lian’er and then took a glance at Yue Ruye who was staring at Chu Lian’er with affection. She curled her lips. As a saying went, if one lay down with dogs, he would get up with fleas.

“I will go if I’m available at that time.”

Hearing that, Chu Lian’er immediately chuckled, “Thank you.” She knew that Duanmu Xi had forgiven her.

Thereafter, Xue Luochen and Hua Ye’er also invited Duanmu Xi and Xuanyuan Mo to their wedding.

Duanmu Xi had a good impression of Xue Luochen and Hua Ye’er. Of course she also agreed to their invitation.

Then, Feng Xifan came to talk to Xuanyuan Mo rather than Duanmu Xi.

“Mr. Xuanyuan, wish you happiness,” he said briefly. It also suggested that he had moved on.

Xuanyuan Mo stared at Feng Xifan’s back and then his amber eyes glistened.

Because it was distant, after saying goodbye, Nalan Xi led the students to leave the Spiritual Beast Forest first.

After they left, Duanmu Xi, Xuanyuan Mo, Huangfu Yu and his guard as well as Mu Jianfeng who was made by Huangfu Yu to stay were left.

Looking at the four other people, Duanmu Xi was worried. The colorful-feathered dragonish eagle given by her father could only hold three people at most. Hongling was too eye-catching.

As Duanmu Xi was worried, Xuanyuan Mo parted his lips, “White Wings.”

As Xuanyuan Mo shouted, a white transparent icy dragon appeared before them.

Duanmu Xi blinked her eyes. What a beautiful ice mythical creature!

Xuanyuan Mo held Duanmu Xi into his arms and flew onto the ice dragon and turned to look at the three people down there, saying coldly, “Hop on.”

The three of them looked at the cold ice dragon and wondered how they could sit on it. If they went to the Qinglong Empire on it, they would probably become ice then.

Xuanyuan Mo seemed to see through their thoughts and then said, “We will go to the Ghost Valley on White Wings. When we arrive there, we will buy some mounts then.”

The three of them flew into the ice dragon relievedly and instantly a chill surged from the soles of their feet to their hearts. Even their teeth started to quiver nonstop. Duanmu Xi and Xuanyuan Mo looked quite leisurely as if nothing had happened. They were really two perverts.

Xuanyuan Mo looked at Duanmu Xi who looked alright in his arms and finally put down his hand. He meant to transfer his mysterious Qi into her but luckily, Xi also had ice spiritual power. Otherwise, he really didn’t dare to let her get on the ice dragon.

“Snow, how many spiritual roots do you have?” Duanmu Xi stared at Xuanyuan Mo’s handsome face and then suddenly asked.
