Swing the sword at the future female devil

Chapter 386 There Must Be a Demon Guiding Him Behind the Scenes
Xiao Jiang's serious admonition to Duan Huaige to be sociable left Duan Huaige silent for a long time before he slowly typed a question mark.

For a Golden Core cultivator like me to explore a low-level Qi Condensation Realm secret realm, isn't that a bit like bullying the demons and monsters in that realm? Can that still be called training?

That would require accompanying the Golden Core Ancestor on a winter outing!

However, what Little Jiang the Great Demon King was considering was not having Duan Huaige show off, but rather recalling one of Yan Qiuxi's many outrageous plans:
Secret Realm Medicine Killer!

Imagine if I were to offer up a rare and precious herb that would require me to have sex with it after I eat it, and ask Xiao Duan to help me cultivate. After we've finished, Xiao Duan's blood will flow back from his head to his penis, and he'll definitely turn around and accuse me of doing this because I was lusting after his body.

While that was indeed the case, as a normal girl, Xiao Jiang felt there was a fundamental difference between her and Yan Qiuxi. "I can give myself away for free, but not too obviously!"
But things are different once you enter the secret realm… I can pretend this is a top-grade natural treasure I found in the secret realm! In order not to lose the medicinal power, I will decisively choose to take it!

Then I'll pretend to be dead, and Xiao Duan will have to do it with me to save me... In this way, wouldn't I be able to take Xiao Duan's first time and save my face, making myself look less like a freeloader?
Hehehehehe…

Qian Da and Lin Miao naturally couldn't fathom the amazing thought process of Little Jiang the Great Demon King. Although Duan Huaige's achievements at Longhu Mountain hadn't spread yet, he was, after all, a genuine Golden Core cultivator, terrifyingly powerful. So, sending him would basically mean that Class Five's training this time would be completely ineffective.

What should I do? Xiao Jiang seems very determined; how can I refuse?

At the crucial moment, Fatty Qian frowned, realizing the key point. He suddenly understood and smiled slightly, saying, "Great! It's an honor for everyone in Class 5 that you and Brother Huai can come! Let's set off together and experience the joy of group activities!"

Lin Miao:?
Xiao Jiang had an attack, and you had an attack too?
Before he could speak, Fatty Qian pulled him aside and gestured to him with his eyes to be careful what he said.

[Sanshui, what are you doing! You're not trying to stop Xiao Jiang and Brother Huai from coming, are you?]

"Of course! Otherwise, why would we go through all that trouble to apply for this secret realm? To play house in there?" Lin Miao retorted fiercely with her eyes. "This kind of secret realm is somewhat dangerous for us, but for Brother Huai, it's a matter of a single thought and he's dead!"

"You're so naive, Sanshui! You only see the surface, you haven't seen the essence!" Qian Da glared at him: "Do you think Xiao Jiang just wants to participate in group activities with Brother Huai to make up for not studying properly in class?"

Isn't that right?

"That's why I said you don't have a girlfriend... Of course not!"

[You talk as if you have any knowledge!]

Qian Da's eyes flashed with disdain: "While I may not have it, that doesn't stop me from seeing the essence of this matter… To put it bluntly, this participation in the secret realm is essentially a counterattack by the Huai Xi nobility!"

[As you just heard, Xiao Jiang isn't without rivals! At first, we thought transfer student Xiao Xie would be Huai Xixun's mortal enemy, but then they became best friends... The two names Xiao Jiang mentioned earlier are the latest version of love rivals!]

Lin Miao's eyes were filled with suspicion and uncertainty: "You mean... this secret realm is Xiao Jiang's desperate attempt to save himself? Just so he won't become a loser?"

[Excellent! Therefore, as members of the Iron-Blooded Huai Xi Noble Family, we must help Xiao Jiang win back Brother Huai's heart!]

The two exchanged a glance, secretly nodding and vowing to help Xiao Jiang secure the position of Empress! Jiang Xiyu, unaware that she had inexplicably gained two more teammates, was still happily pondering what kind of rare and precious herbs she should borrow from Cang Ling to achieve the best effect. "Then it's settled, Brother Huai. I'll let you know in a few days. See you there!"

Duan Huaige: "..."

What are you guys up to? Am I really going to go to a low-level Qi Condensation Realm? You guys are going to make me lose all face!
He turned to look at Xiao Jiang and said in a low voice, "Tell me, Xiao Jiang, what are you up to? Why do you suddenly want to come to the secret realm with me?"

"What bad intentions could I possibly have? I just miss the leisurely days of studying at school!" Xiao Jiang said confidently. "The innocent will remain innocent, and the guilty will remain guilty! Just wait and see in a few days!"

You'll realize your mistake when I devour your spiritual root.
With a new goal in mind, Xiao Jiang lost interest in even eating and drinking. She immediately told Duan Huaige that she had suddenly remembered she had something to do and had to stand Duan Huaige up for now.

She needed to hurry and find Xie Cangling to borrow one or two kinds of rare and precious herbs to carry out her first blood mission.

Although Duan Huaige was completely confused, he didn't try to stop her. Xiao Jiang still had a task to complete—eating together—but that wasn't urgent, as there were countless opportunities to eat with her. There was no need to rush.

He took on the task of buying New Year's goods all by himself. Without Little Jiang the Great Demon King shouting and distracting him, disrupting his plans, Duan Huaige quickly bought the ingredients and spirit stones he wanted according to the plan and put them all into his storage bag.

Hmm... how about I give you a storage bag as a reward for this secret realm? Most of the students don't have storage bags right now, they haven't even enjoyed the benefits of progressing in cultivation.

After doing all this, Duan Huaige fell into a brief state of confusion. There were many things to do, but he didn't know where to start.

Alright, alright, let's go to Xiao Xie's house first and find her to refine the Human Emperor Banner together!

……

Meanwhile, at the Xie family manor, the housekeeper, Sister Ling, was pushing a small food cart towards Xie Cangling and picked up the lid.

“Miss… these are all rare and precious items found in the storeroom according to your requirements…” Sister Ling paused, then asked with some suspicion, “But I’m curious, why do all these rare and precious items you found have certain… strange side effects?”

If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Xie's character has remained consistently stable, Sister Ling would have suspected that her young lady was about to pull off something truly outrageous...

"I...I've recently started learning alchemy." Little Xie blinked her clear eyes, looking a little embarrassed as she lowered her head. "So I need these materials..."

Sister Ling's lips twitched. She thought to herself, "Our young lady has really grown up. She's even resorting to such a low-level lie to fool me..."

Are you planning to use these materials for alchemy? I'm almost embarrassed to tell you!

I have a feeling that there must be some kind of sorcerer behind this!
