Chapter 212: Sweet Honey Ashes Like Frost 33
After breakfast, Xufeng and Runyu followed Liuying into the house to discuss the matter of Qiongqi, while Lingxi and Jinmi sat outside the house.

Jin Mi looked at Ling Xi anxiously and asked, "Fairy Ling Xi, is Qiongqi difficult to deal with? I want to go with you to deal with Qiongqi, is that okay?"

Jin Mi didn't know what was happening to her. She just felt like she understood a lot of things all of a sudden, and she seemed to understand things that she didn't understand before.

So, she knew that her cultivation was not high and she knew that she could not hold them back, but she still wanted to follow them to kill Qiongqi. This was the last thing she could do for Rourou.

Ling Xi stared at Jin Mi's eyes which were full of fighting spirit and hatred, and doubts began to arise in his heart.

Jin Mi seems to care particularly about Qiongqi. Why is that?

Thinking of this, Ling Xi asked: "Jin Mi, you seem to be very concerned about Qiongqi's matter? Why is that?"

Hearing Ling Xi's question, Jin Mi lowered her head, sadness appeared in her eyes, her whole mood became gloomy, and she was surrounded by dark clouds.

Ling Xi didn't rush to ask, and just let Jin Mi remain silent.

After a long time, Jin Mi took out a pot of succulents.

Ling Xi stared at the pot of succulents that Jin Mi took out, and felt that there seemed to be some breath of life left on it, but it was very weak and was almost dissipated.

Ling Xi asked hesitantly: "Jin Mi, is this your friend?"

"Yes," Jin Mi's eyes sparkled, "Fairy Ling Xi, you are the first person who thinks Rourou is my friend. Many people say Rourou is just a pot of plants, but she is my best friend Rourou."

Ling Xi's own spiritual power is extremely sensitive to the breath of life. Without this spiritual power, she would not be able to tell that this was a succulent elf, and would only think that it was a pot of succulent.

"So, your friend was killed by Qiongqi?" Ling Xi asked.

Jin Mi nodded dejectedly, her usually lively and clear voice now filled with sadness: "If I hadn't secretly escaped from the water mirror, Rourou and I wouldn't have encountered Qiongqi, and Rourou wouldn't have been killed by Qiongqi for protecting me."

"So all these years, I have been trying to find a way to revive Rourou, but my spiritual power has always been very low, so there is no way at all."

Ling Xi remained silent. The succulent plant had very little vitality left and she had no way to save it. If it had just died not long ago, she might have been able to find a way to save it, but now, she was helpless.

Seeing Jin Mi so sad, Ling Xi couldn't bear it, so he gently touched her head and comforted her softly: "Jin Mi, your friend must hope that you can be well. When we catch Qiongqi, you can avenge your friend with your own hands. At that time, you will continue to live with her expectations. Remember that you are not alone, and she still has expectations for you."

Listening to Ling Xi's comfort, Jin Mi hummed heavily.

She will definitely avenge Rourou.

After a while, Runyu and the other two came out of the house.

Ling Xi stepped forward and asked, "How? How do we deal with Qiongqi?"

Liu Ying replied, "Just now a demon servant came to report that traces of Qiongqi were found in the area around the foothills of Chiren Mountain. We were just about to go and investigate."

Ling Xi waved his sleeves and said, "Let's go, go early and come back early, finish the work early, I still have other things to do."

After that, he called Jin Mi again, "Jin Mi, let's go."

Xu Feng stopped Ling Xi and stopped her from moving: "Jin Mi and you don't have to go with us?"

Ling Xi turned around and glanced at him, "Are you worried about Jin Mi?"

Xu Feng's face flushed, and he answered stubbornly: "No, it's just that Jin Mi and you are not at the same level of cultivation, and I'm worried that you will be in danger."

Ling Xi now looked at Xu Feng closely, staring at him for a long time, not wanting to look away. However, the more he looked at him, the more his eyes looked like he was looking at a fool.

Xu Feng's eyesight is not good. He has not seen her true level of cultivation in all these years. With such a keen eye, no wonder he is so stupid. Runyu on the side curled his lips slightly, unable to hold back his laughter.

Ling Xi smiled and said something ambiguous: "Who told you? My cultivation is not high?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Xi took Jin Mi away.

Xu Feng was stunned and looked at his brother Runyu, at a loss: "Brother, she...she."

Runyu patted Xufeng's broad and strong shoulders, shook his head and smiled at him, then left.

The group of five arrived at the foot of Chi Ren Mountain and prepared to go in to investigate the location of Qiongqi.

Ling Xi pulled Jin Mi and told her seriously, "Jin Mi, follow me closely and don't run around randomly, okay?"

Jin Mi nodded obediently: "Okay."

Ling Xi smelled the unpleasant smell of corruption in the air and frowned.

It seems that Qiongqi is indeed hiding here, and is seriously injured.

After walking for a distance, Ling Xi, Runyu and others discovered black marks on the ground.

Xu Feng squatted down, picked up the black soil, felt it, looked up and said, "The soil here doesn't have a burnt smell. It seems that it is not caused by a rock fire eruption."

Runyu agreed, "Indeed not."

Xu Feng guessed, "Qiongqi's blood is extremely poisonous. Anything that touches it will become corrupt and black, as if it were burnt. It seems that this place was caused by Qiongqi's blood dripping."

Liu Ying asked, "Your Highness, do you mean that Qiongqi is hiding nearby?"

The three of them stood up and looked around, but saw no trace of Qiongqi.

Runyu asked: "Qiongqi's true body is huge. I wonder if there is a cave nearby that is big enough to accommodate his true body?"

Liuying thought for a while and said, "Follow me."

Ling Xi and Jin Mi followed.

As the amount of black soil increased, Ling Xi could smell that the smell in the air was becoming more and more unpleasant and disgusting.

Liuying covered her nose and asked, "What's that smell? It's so stinky?"

Runyu guessed, "Xu Feng injured Qiongqi outside the Nantian Gate that day, and the wound must have worsened and festered."

When they came to a huge cave entrance, Liuying pointed at it and said, "This is the largest cave in Chiren Mountain. Qiongqi should be hiding here without a doubt."

Xu Feng looked at the cave entrance and said worriedly, "We are not familiar with the environment in the cave. Besides, the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. If we act rashly, it may be dangerous."

Liuying: "How about I use the magic bone whip to lure out Qiongqi?"

Xu Feng's face was not calm, and he said worriedly: "If we lure it out, the three of us can work together to kill it, but after Qiongqi dies, its bones and flesh will turn into poison, and the area within a thousand miles will become scorched earth, and all living things will be devastated. Even ghosts will have difficulty surviving. Therefore, we can't kill it with ordinary methods. We have to find another way. First, we have to remove its evil nature, and then seal it back into the Demon-Suppressing Cauldron."

Runyu thought this method was good. "It's a good plan, but how to implement it?"

Xu Feng suggested: "The King of Yancheng has a Meteorite Pestle. Why don't we go find the King of Yancheng?"

"No need to be so troublesome." Ling Xi had been silent all the time, listening to their plan, until this time he stood up and spoke.
