Chapter 906
After speaking, its cold eyes focused on Qin Qi.
The calm gaze exuded a chilling feeling!
Even Qin Qi was taken aback by the intensity of that stare.
However, fortunately, the Blood Bone Demon King did not take any further action and turned away under Feng Xiao Xiao’s intimidation.
Soon after, it let out a loud and sharp cry.
The numerous evil demons attacking the city, upon hearing this cry, chose to retreat rather than continue fighting.
Just like that, after about ten minutes.
The once noisy and chaotic battlefield quickly returned to calm.
"Has the war ended?"
"Why did the demons retreat so early this time?"
Many cultivators were left looking at each other in confusion.
Only Feng Xiao Xiao and Wei Ling’Er were well aware of the situation.
The reason the demons retreated could be entirely attributed to Qin Qi alone.
Defeating an elite demon single-handedly, this feat could only be described as extraordinary!
Feng Xiao Xiao, seeing the departure of the Blood Bone Demon King, now looked at Qin Qi with relief, further solidifying her intention to recruit Qin Qi to her side.
If before she was willing to pay any price to recruit Qin Qi.
Now it was beyond a doubt.
"By any means necessary!" Feng Xiao Xiao clenched her fists tightly.
A flash of determination crossed her eyes, but she continued to smile warmly, "Alright, you all look quite exhausted, go back and rest well first!"
"As for the promised rewards, not a single part will be missing!"
Qin Qi bowed, "Thank you, City Lord!"
Both Wei Ling’Er and Zhang Mingtou felt quite ashamed, as they hadn’t really helped much in the defeat of the elite demon.
Feng Xiao Xiao soon noticed the unconscious Murong Chan nearby.
She furrowed her brows.
"This person really has strong vitality!"
Biting her lip, Feng Xiao Xiao noticed that Murong Chan was still breathing.
As the City Lord, she naturally couldn’t leave him to die, so with a wave of her hand, she gathered mana to lift Murong Chan and brought her back into the city.
Upon returning to the city, Qin Qi and the others went back to their respective places to rest.
Qin Qi, having also expended a lot, immediately began meditation upon returning home, to quickly restore his own mana.
At the same time, he realized something.
"As my cultivation improves, my skills need to be more versatile!"
"If not for the Pure Yang Sword Box today, there was no way I could have been a match for that elite demon." Qin Qi thought silently.
Moreover, his skills were particularly effective against demons.
Facing strong human figures like Murong Chan or Wei Ling’Er, his chances of victory were not guaranteed.
"It seems there is a need to further refine the Thousand Vein Body Forging Technique, the Fire Control Heart Scripture, and Thousand Shadows at the first chance available!"
Thus, after a day and night’s worth of meditation.
When he regained his senses!
It was already the following evening!
"Junior Brother Qin Qi..."
Qin Qi sensed movement outside and immediately opened the door in advance to welcome, "Senior Brother Xu Yang, what’s up?"
Xu Yang chuckled, "Junior Brother Qin Qi, naturally our master wants to see you. Considering the reward promised, your contribution this time is the greatest, it certainly cannot be lacking in your case!"
"Oh? What about Miss Wei and Senior Brother Mingtou?" Qin Qi asked.
"The two of them have already claimed their rewards and returned. Speaking of which, Junior Sister Wei was looking for you earlier, but seeing you were still meditating, she didn’t disturb you and left early in the morning." Xu Yang explained matter-of-factly.
Hearing this, Qin Qi did not delay further and nodded.
Before long, he accompanied Xu Yang to Feng Xiao Xiao’s residence.
Feng Xiao Xiao had been waiting for quite some time.
Upon seeing Qin Qi, she immediately radiated joy, "Little friend Qin Qi, you seem to have recovered well!"
"With spiritual energy abundant in Holy Wood City, recovery is indeed quite swift," Qin Qi replied politely.
Speaking, he looked up.
Noticing Feng Xiao Xiao’s outfit seemed a bit different today than before.
Underneath the pure white dress were long leather boots.
Her hair was neatly arranged.
She even wore a subtle touch of makeup on her face.
The overall impression was one of youthfulness, complemented by elements of dignity, elegance, and beauty.
Qin Qi raised his eyebrows, his smile gradually growing, "Could it be that Feng Xiao Xiao dressed up so beautifully because of me?"
He was in no rush, sitting cross-legged, planning to slowly verify his suspicion.
Feng Xiao Xiao, seeing Qin Qi focus on her, smiled charmingly, "How about it, am I beautiful?"
Qin Qi nodded, "City Lord Feng is indeed extremely beautiful!"
"And how do you think I compare to Bai Qingrou?" Feng Xiao Xiao asked sweetly, with a smile as radiant as a blooming flower.
Qin Qi squinted his eyes, feeling increasingly certain about his hypothesis.
But remarks that might offend others were never his forte, "City Lord Feng, compared to the Saintess Bai, you each have your own unique charms!"
"Hm!"
"Smooth talker!"
Feng Xiao Xiao lazily said, "Back in the day, she and I were the standouts of our respective sects, mutually uncompromising."
"As for beauty, opinions varied, but we were equally matched. Alas, time flies, and she and I already surpassed a hundred years in age."
Qin Qi smiled softly, "City Lord Feng, outside, nobody would believe you’re a centenarian!"
"Heh, as cultivators, we are naturally quite different from ordinary people!"
Feng Xiao Xiao didn’t waste any time, pulling a storage pouch from her sleeve and tossing it directly to Qin Qi, "This is the reward I promised you earlier!"
"Go ahead and check it out!"
Qin Qi raised an eyebrow, opened the storage pouch, and paused slightly.
A particular elixir pill with an incredibly potent aura immediately captured his attention.
"This is the Spiritual Beauty Creation Pill!" said the mysterious woman softly.
Qin Qi also felt the astonishing aura emanating from the pill, "No wonder it’s said this elixir can aid in breaking through to the Core Formation Stage, just sensing its aura reveals an impressive energy within!"
But the storage pouch contained not only the Spiritual Beauty Creation Pill.
Besides the elixir, it also held numerous heavenly materials and earthly treasures, which took Qin Qi by surprise.
"City Lord Feng, we only agreed on the Spiritual Beauty Creation Pill, and now there’s so much material..."
Feng Xiao Xiao replied leisurely, "Considering you contributed the most in the hunt for the elite demon, getting more is only reasonable!"
Qin Qi could see that things weren’t that simple.
He did nearly single-handedly kill the elite demon.
However, the rewards seemed excessive.
"City Lord Feng, this is too much and too valuable; I cannot accept it. After all, we agreed on terms previously." Qin Qi responded.
Feng Xiao Xiao caught his eyes and no longer beat around the bush, "Qin Qi, I’ll be frank. I want you to stay here and work for me!"
