"Answer me! Didn't you hear my question?" the Old Woman repeated, her eyes revealing a hint of anger, making the situation somewhat strange.
"Hurry up! Mother is terrifying when she's angry!" At the same time, Ouyang Lian walked past Li Rui, tugging at his collar and whispering.
Li Rui could already tell from her demeanor, but he couldn't do anything!
"I can't!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Old Woman suddenly rushed in front of Li Rui and shouted loudly, her red eyes fixed on him without blinking.
"Do it again!"
Ouyang Lian and the Red Ghost were indeed frightened by this scene; they had never seen this old woman so agitated. It seemed that Li Rui was in trouble now.
The Red Ghost was about to approach when, little did they know, a dark barrier suddenly rose, forming around Li Rui!
Even though Li Rui opened his red eyes to activate full recognition, the difference in potential was too great. Moreover, this dark barrier would gradually compress over time, meaning that soon, Li Rui would disappear from the entire area!
The Red Ghost and Ouyang Lian were shocked to see their Mu Qing start with such a move; it was truly bizarre. Was she trying to kill Li Rui?
"I'll give you one more chance."
"I, Li Rui, would never do something that goes against human ethics. Hoo!" Li Rui exhaled heavily, panting. Although he said this, he was in a state of extreme panic inside and had no idea how to resolve the awkward situation.
"Hmm? Alright then, Old Man will see how long you can hold out."
At this moment, Li Rui's body suddenly trembled, and a red light burst forth from deep within her Dantian. However, she couldn't remember having anything like that on her! Frowning slightly, she wondered if the effects of that beggar's medicine hadn't fully manifested yet; that would be quite awkward.
Then, the dark barrier in the void shattered with a loud bang. The scene was truly spectacular! The Old Woman stood frozen in place, never expecting such a turn of events. She felt quite frustrated; could this really be a power that a Dharmakaya at the third level could unleash?
The atmosphere was somewhat eerie, and in the following moments, the Old Woman approached Li Rui.
Li Rui took step after step back, fearing that something unexpected might happen in the next second.
"You don't need to be nervous; I'm just here to take a look at you."
Li Rui frowned, feeling quite troubled. Was it really just a simple look? This change was too abrupt.
She had caught a glimpse of what had just happened, but she couldn't make sense of it; everything had transpired in the blink of an eye.
A flash of red light appeared, bringing a smile to her face. Li Rui could guarantee that it had indeed happened just like that; could it be that red light?
"Come, come! From now on, we are family!"
"Wow!" Li Rui couldn't help but take a few steps back. No matter how she thought about it, she couldn't understand why the attitude had changed so quickly.
The Red Ghost and Ouyang Lian were equally baffled; what kind of trick was this Old Woman playing? It was truly...
The latter kept chasing after Li Rui, making the scene quite comical! Finally, in the next second, she could no longer hold back.
"Stop!"
This scene felt somewhat familiar, as I found myself once again frozen in place.
Looking at her enigmatic gaze, the frustration in Li Rui's heart was truly beyond words.
"You have a weapon now! But the Water Fire Staff cannot be in your hands just yet; it's safe, so you don't need to worry." She then pulled out a crystal ball, the image inside somewhat resembling the previous one.
"Can you give me this crystal ball?" Li Rui's desire for the crystal ball reached a new height, and he couldn't help but chuckle.
"Don't say nonsense; this is something my mother obtained with great effort..."
Before she could finish her sentence, the Old Woman casually tossed the crystal ball, and it landed in Li Rui's hands.
This...
"I was just joking."
"It's just an external object, that's all."
However, Li Rui could see a strong reluctance in her pupils; the latter didn't want to do this and felt an implicit sense of being trapped.
"Maybe I should return this to you!" Li Rui then handed the crystal ball back to her, smiling.
At the beginning, the Old Woman kept making excuses, but later on...
Li Rui smiled lightly, truly an old fox.
When she took out a stick, Li Rui frowned slightly. How was this thing so similar to the Water Fire Staff? Strangely, there were two extra layers of Feiyu on the gilded edge. The design was quite beautiful, but he wondered about its durability.
He then swung the stick around; it was indeed a set that matched well. The sound of the stick hitting the ground was "clang," not inferior to the previous one, but it felt extremely comfortable to wield.
"This one is for you."
Li Rui smiled and nodded, taking the stick. He thought to himself that this Old Woman was being overly attentive for no reason; she must have something to ask of him.
"Do you have any conditions?"
The Old Woman paused slightly, wanting something but holding her tongue. However, her expression was very conflicted, and Li Rui certainly caught this moment clearly.
"If not, I'm leaving! With this Tongfu Alliance under your Xiaosheng Tower's protection, how can I not feel at ease? Thank you for your generosity."
"Getting a bargain and still acting coy! This guy," Ouyang Lian glanced at Li Rui and said irritably.
The Old Woman finally couldn't hold back anymore and shot two glances at the Red Ghost Sisters. The latter nodded slightly and then left.
Only Li Rui and the Old Woman remained in the hall.
"Can you promise me one thing?" the latter couldn't help but ask a question.
Li Rui looked at her, cold sweat trickling down, always feeling an ominous premonition. When he learned from her that he had to take care of these two girls, he was stunned.
Their abilities were more impressive than the other, and they still needed him to look after them.
But the Old Woman suddenly grabbed Li Rui's palm, looking at him seriously, without a hint of joking.
At that moment, Li Rui noticed a red spot in her hand, extremely strange, and it seemed to follow a certain pattern.
"What is this?" Li Rui was about to ask for an explanation when she casually covered the red spot completely.
"Will you promise or not?"
The tone was very harsh, clearly forcing Li Rui to speak.
Only then did he realize how great the cost of this stick was. He wanted to return it but found it difficult. Looking at the Old Woman's domineering attitude, he was caught in a dilemma.
