Su Xi knew that while her current performance could deceive others, it was impossible to hide it from Ouyang Chu Ge. Since she couldn't hide it, she had no intention of doing so, as these matters weren't overly important.
Although she didn't intend to hide anything from Ouyang Chu Ge, she also didn't plan to tell him everything. Instead, she revealed only less significant information, while concealing the crucial details.
When Ouyang Chu Ge heard that Su Xi would not be staying in the Five Great Immortal Mountains but was going to the Great Xuan Empire, his eyes showed a hint of emotion.
Even though he was in the demon realm, he had heard of the Great Xuan Empire's reputation.
For years, it was precisely the existence of the Great Xuan Empire that prevented the powerful figures of the demon realm from daring to invade easily. Otherwise, with the small sects like the Five Great Immortal Mountains, even with the seal of the Heavenly Scar, they would be no match for a full-force attack from a Demon King.
Legend had it that the Emperor of the Great Xuan Empire was the most powerful cultivator in the entire human race, at the Mahayana stage.
It was because of his presence that a tripartite balance of power was formed with the demon and beast races.
However, he had lived for so many years, and his lifespan was nearing its end. The human race seemed to have no successor. Once the human race lost its Mahayana-stage guardian, the current tripartite balance would change.
The demon and beast races would not let go of such an opportunity and would undoubtedly strike immediately to conquer the humans.
Seeing that Ouyang Chu Ge knew more about the Great Xuan Empire than she did, Su Xi's heart stirred with a new idea. Having an acquaintance was far better than wandering around like a headless fly searching for something. Moreover, Ouyang Chu Ge had other uses, and she couldn't afford to give up such a significant asset.
Therefore, understanding this, Su Xi immediately had a different plan.
Ouyang Chu Ge noticed Su Xi's gaze sweeping over him and was startled. He instinctively hugged himself, took a few steps back, and asked Su Xi vigilantly, "What do you want to do to me? I'm a decent person!"
Back in the demon realm, many people had desires for his body.
Their gazes were exactly like Su Xi's, and it was difficult to guarantee that Su Xi didn't have the same impure intentions towards him.
Seeing the wariness on Ouyang Chu Ge's face, Su Xi felt utterly speechless.
She wasn't thirty years old and didn't have such strong desires to engage in interspecies relationships. Ouyang Chu Ge's strength might be lacking, but his imagination was as impressive as the author's.
"Take your pig trotters down. I have no intentions towards you," Su Xi said helplessly, shaking her head and muttering a complaint.
Ouyang Chu Ge, still half-believing, lowered his hands. Seeing Su Xi's continued distrust, he asked with great vigilance, "Then what do you want me to do?"
He was already in his current state and didn't think he had anything left that Su Xi would be interested in. His only remaining capital was his body.
Su Xi suppressed the urge to beat Ouyang Chu Ge and said, "I'm planning to take you with me to the Great Xuan Empire."
Upon hearing Su Xi's words, Ouyang Chu Ge immediately showed a look of "I knew it" and firmly shook his head, refusing, "Don't think too much, I'm not going."
Although he had long yearned for the Great Xuan Empire, he was also acutely aware of his identity.
He was a member of the demon race. If he were discovered by the experts of the Great Xuan Empire, he would have no chance of escape and would only end up dead.
Staying in the Five Great Immortal Mountains might be humiliating, but at least he could preserve his life.
As long as he recovered his cultivation, there would be no problem doing whatever he wanted. He would get revenge for the torment he suffered today. Moreover, it was close to the Heavenly Scar, making it easier to return later.
Su Xi knew that Ouyang Chu Ge wouldn't agree so easily, so she dropped her prepared bombshell, "If you come back with me, I can help resolve your physical problems."
"Huh?"
Ouyang Chu Ge blinked in confusion at Su Xi's words. He couldn't figure out what she meant.
Was the problem with his body the very problem he was thinking of?
Su Xi smiled, guessing Ouyang Chu Ge's thoughts, and said, "What I'm talking about is exactly what you're thinking."
Ouyang Chu Ge paused, then quickly recovered, a dismissive smile appearing on his face, "We're both adults, why should I believe what you're saying?"
He wasn't a fool; the idea of being deceived was too far-fetched.
Su Xi remained silent, took out a slip of paper from her person, and handed it to Ouyang Chu Ge, "Whether what I say is true or false, you'll know once you look."
Having interacted with Ouyang Chu Ge for so long, she understood that he was a man who wouldn't act without seeing a tangible benefit.
Since she wanted Ouyang Chu Ge to help, she naturally had to prepare what was needed.
Without benefits, no one would be willing to act.
Ouyang Chu Ge casually took the paper Su Xi handed him and began reading it with indifference. However, after a few glances, his expression changed, revealing a serious look.
He picked up the slip of paper, read it several times, and asked excitedly, "Where did the other half go?"
The paper didn't contain any unconventional love poems or gossip, but a medicinal prescription to resolve his physical problem. Although the prescription was only a partial piece, with Ouyang Chu Ge's years of experience, he could naturally discern its authenticity.
If this prescription were fully gathered, it truly had the potential to resolve his physical issues, and the cost wouldn't be too great.
It was precisely because he knew that what Su Xi offered was genuine that he was so astonished.
He had tried many methods to solve his physical problem but found no clue. Just as he was considering using a secret technique to forcibly recover his cultivation.
However, Su Xi's actions now gave him a different possibility.
As long as he followed Su Xi's words, recovering his strength wouldn't be a dream.
Su Xi heard Ouyang Chu Ge's words and didn't speak, merely wearing a faint smile.
If he wanted her to hand over the complete prescription, he had to show his sincerity first. Only then could she feel at ease.
Ouyang Chu Ge saw the expression on Su Xi's face and understood what she wanted. After some deliberation, he made a vow, "I swear by the Heavenly Dao. If you give me the prescription, I will accompany you to the Great Xuan Empire and obtain what you desire together."
Seeing that Ouyang Chu Ge had sworn by the Heavenly Dao, Su Xi did not hesitate and handed over the remaining half of the prescription.
After all, as long as the supercomputer existed, she could obtain as many such prescriptions as she wanted and wouldn't have to worry about Ouyang Chu Ge breaking his promise.
Ouyang Chu Ge finished reading Su Xi's prescription and let out a long sigh. Su Xi had not lied to him.
With his physical problem potentially solved, he was visibly excited.
According to Su Xi's prescription, he could indeed resolve the issues within his body, without damaging his foundation, and shorten the recovery time.
Once his physical problem was resolved, he could regain what he had lost. At that time, he would have a thousand ways to deal with Su Xi.
Su Xi saw the fleeting expression on Ouyang Chu Ge's face and knew what he was thinking.
Therefore, to avoid future trouble, she kindly reminded him, "Don't have any other ideas. After all, this is only the initial stage prescription for your condition. To completely resolve all your problems, you will need to change the prescription."
Ouyang Chu Ge's expression flickered upon hearing Su Xi's words, and he couldn't help but nod.
The situation was indeed as Su Xi had described. He had been too excited earlier and had inadvertently said too much. Some aspects were unclear.
Ouyang Chu Ge rubbed his nose and looked at Su Xi, "Although I've agreed to leave with you, our current situation doesn't seem to allow it, does it?"
The people of the Five Great Immortal Mountains still needed him; they certainly wouldn't let him leave. A rash departure might provoke their resentment.
Su Xi looked at Ouyang Chu Ge and shook her head, "I know you're smart, and you won't disappoint me. You'll have better ways to deal with those old fogeys than I do."
Instead of wasting her own brain cells, it was better to let Ouyang Chu Ge handle it.
After all, Ouyang Chu Ge's intelligence was no less than her own.
Ouyang Chu Ge had already anticipated that Su Xi would shift the responsibility to him. After a moment of shifting expressions, he could only nod, "Alright, I'll think of a way to get you out."
With that, Ouyang Chu Ge walked towards where Daoist Master Meng Xu was.
For him, this was not just helping Su Xi but also helping himself.
Only by quickly recovering his cultivation could he complete the task sooner.
Seeing Ouyang Chu Ge leave, Su Xi was unconcerned.
Since the matter had been handed over to Ouyang Chu Ge, she had her own tasks to attend to.
This time, she was leaving Penglai Mountain, and she didn't know when she would return. To avoid any unnecessary trouble, she had to take away everything she could.
Otherwise, she had no idea what Daoist Master Meng Xu might do. There would be no regrets later.
Lin Qing was still within the Mustard Seed Space, so to stay informed about Lin Qing's condition, she had to take him with her.
Su Xi returned to the main hall and began to busy herself.
The Mustard Seed Space belonged to True Person Tiangang. Although she knew how to use it, it wasn't easy to take it away.
After a great deal of effort, she finally managed to place the Mustard Seed Space into the space within her body.
Entering the Mustard Seed Space, Su Xi found that Lin Qing's body had begun to solidify, indicating improvement. If it took another forty-nine days, he could be nurtured by the Silver Soul Wood.
Confirming that Lin Qing's condition had improved, Su Xi left with peace of mind.
Upon leaving, Su Xi quickly saw Ouyang Chu Ge returning with Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng's expression was grim. He couldn't understand why Daoist Master Meng Xu had agreed to Ouyang Chu Ge's departure from the Five Great Immortal Mountains. If Ouyang Chu Ge escaped or was killed outside, wouldn't their efforts be in vain?
However, since Daoist Master Meng Xu had agreed, he couldn't refuse.
"You can leave, but you must agree to certain conditions, otherwise you cannot depart," Jiang Feng said, stating his demands to Su Xi.
Hearing Jiang Feng's request for her to consume a pill he personally refined, Su Xi swallowed it without hesitation.
She had already consumed so many poisons, so one more wouldn't matter.
As long as she could leave here first, there would be other possibilities.
