My cultivation is too warm

Xu Mo was stunned once again after hearing the words of the spirit of the secret realm.

What's going on here? Why did he apologize?
He felt his thoughts were in disarray ever since he saw the spirit of the secret realm. He hadn't seen the spirit of the secret realm for a long time, so why was he acting so crazy now?
One minute I'm making myself apologize, the next I'm apologizing to myself. What's going on? Is it a split personality?
So Xu Mo asked very sincerely, "Senior, where did you go wrong?"

Xu Mo swore that he had no other intention in asking the question; he was simply expressing a question that was on his mind.

When these words reached the ears of the spirit of the secret realm, they caused him to widen his eyes and open his mouth, staring blankly at Xu Mo with a look of shock and disbelief.

The spirit of the secret realm was filled with a jumble of thoughts, countless venomous words floating through his mind.

You little devil, what grudge do we have that you would ask me such a vicious question?
For the spirit of the secret realm who often frequented various brothels and pleasure quarters, the question "Where did you go wrong?" was all too familiar to him. Because whenever this question appeared, it meant that the question would never end, and when this question appeared, even if he was not wrong, he was still wrong.

Therefore, he understood Xu Mo's attitude when faced with this problem; Xu Mo was determined to make things difficult for him.

Since that's the case, he was unwilling to submit any longer. So he steeled himself and said bluntly, "I am not wrong. I only have one request. If you, little devil Xu, want to mess with me, I hope you can put me in a place with lots of beautiful women and not treat me like you used to."

After saying that, he tried to negotiate with Xu Mo, saying, "Give me some face. After all, I am the alchemy furnace of Shennong Yandi, and you are also the successor of Shennong Yandi. We are family after all. Don't make things difficult for me. I really don't want to experience those days again."

"If I had known that coming out with you would be like this, I would have preferred to stay in the Shennong Secret Realm, where I could see some lively and lovely fairies every now and then."

Upon hearing this, Xu Mo was slightly taken aback, then revealed a thoughtful expression.

He finally understood that the reason why the spirit of the secret realm had acted so erratically since they met was likely related to its past experiences.

He remembered that after handing the spirit of the secret realm over to Senior Sister Ye Qingyue, he hadn't paid any attention to it. He wasn't sure how Senior Sister Ye had arranged or disposed of the spirit of the secret realm afterward.

When the spirit of the secret realm made a few teasing remarks to Senior Sister Ye, judging from the "gentle and tender" expression she showed at the time, he felt that the spirit of the secret realm should suffer a bit and be taught a lesson for his loose tongue.

However, judging from the misunderstanding and resentment shown by the spirit of the secret realm from the moment they met, it is clear that Senior Sister Ye did not intend to simply make him suffer.

Thinking of this, Xu Mo turned his head slightly and glanced at Ye Qingyue, who had been quiet ever since she met the spirit of the secret realm. Then, he looked at the spirit of the secret realm with some curiosity and asked:
"Why do you say that, senior? Haven't I been serving you the best food and drink all along?"

"Serve you with good food and drink? You call that serving you with good food and drink?" The spirit of the secret realm screamed upon hearing Xu Mo's words.

He stared at Xu Mo and scrutinized him carefully, as if trying to see through him, because he was really curious about how this person could look like someone who could say such shameless things.

Anyone with a shred of decency wouldn't say something like that without batting an eye.

Seeing the spirit of the secret realm react so strongly, Xu Mo scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed. He was now genuinely curious about how Ye Qingyue had arranged the spirit of the secret realm to make it react so excitedly.

So he chuckled awkwardly and said, "I guess so. How have you been all these years, senior?"

Upon hearing Xu Mo's words, the spirit of the secret realm was so angry that it laughed. This guy actually had the nerve to ask.

Thinking back to her experiences on Wuyou Peak, the spirit of the secret realm couldn't help but feel aggrieved.

He originally thought that Shennong Yandi had been ruthless enough by placing him in the Shennong Secret Realm and making him wait for a successor for endless years.

For this reason, he often cursed Shennong Yandi in his heart, but compared to what happened at Wuyou Peak, he felt that he had misunderstood Shennong Yandi back then. Compared to this shameless little brat Xu in front of him, Shennong Yandi was definitely a good person.

This guy clearly knows he likes being surrounded by all sorts of beautiful girls, but what happened?

He actually placed himself in a dark cave.

There was nothing inside the cave, just bare rocks, not even a single green plant or a drop of water.

There was only one dim candle.

Then she would spend her days and nights refining pills for him in that dilapidated stone cave.

That's fine, after all, he's a fully automatic alchemy furnace, and alchemy is a piece of cake for him, not worth mentioning.

He would be willing to have some lively, cute, and delicate fairies chat with him after each pill refining session.

but?
That guy actually got a bunch of burly men to dress up in brightly colored dresses, wear heavy makeup, and surround him. Then, in a coquettish, duck-like voice, they called him "senior," saying, "You're so amazing! We admire you so much!"

And while shouting, she was also winking at herself.

Whenever the spirit of the secret realm recalls those days in that dilapidated stone cave, it feels a chill run down its spine.

That was hell on earth.

Although he was an alchemy furnace, he was so disgusted that he felt like vomiting.

And no matter how he resisted or shouted, it was no use. Every day after he finished refining the pills, half of the burly men dressed in heavy makeup would come over and touch and pat him here and there.

If he goes on strike and refuses to refine elixirs, then those people won't leave.

Therefore, he could only continue to refine pills for them.

For him, who was the alchemy furnace, this was the first time he had felt that alchemy could be a happy thing. If he could, he wanted to keep alchemy and not stop for a moment. He just wanted to make sure those big men didn't come in!

Waaaaah, I'm no longer pure!
After the spirit of the secret realm finished recounting its experiences, two lines of clear tears streamed down its face, its heart filled with endless grievances.

"Ah, this..." Xu Mo was stunned after hearing the spirit of the secret realm's story.

Then he cautiously turned his head to glance at Ye Qingyue beside him.

The reason he had to be so careful was because after listening to the spirit of the secret realm's story, he felt a strange fear of Ye Qingyue, worried that if he looked too openly, he would be targeted by Senior Sister Ye.

Senior Sister Ye Qingyue is indeed too "gentle".
