The simple words made Feng Ninghe raise an eyebrow.
Did these two have a feud?
As soon as they spoke, they were eager to belittle the other.
After a moment of thought, she said unhurriedly, "Xin Xin is not feeling well, and I happen to have a way to cure her. The King of Hell and I merely made a deal, mutually beneficial."
"You can cure Xin Xin's congenital deficiency?"
Su Hongxiu's eyes immediately shifted, her gaze falling directly on Feng Ninghe. His male voice carried a hint of surprise.
Xin Xin's congenital deficiency was something she was born with. If her mother were still alive, she could have used her spiritual roots to help cure it.
For ordinary people, curing it was a pipe dream. Even with medication, it could only temporarily alleviate the symptoms.
Sensing the surprise of the person beside her, Feng Ninghe smiled and said in a clear female voice, "There's a decent chance of success, so it's worth a try. It seems you also know about Xin Xin's congenital deficiency."
Su Hongxiu did not hesitate and revealed all that he knew. "Si Jianye once asked me to treat Xin Xin, but unfortunately, I was powerless and could only prescribe some medicine to relieve the pain. How do you plan to treat Xin Xin?"
He knew the woman before him was not as simple as he imagined, but she had a few chances of curing Xin Xin?
The Medicine Valley was renowned far and wide, its reputation echoing throughout the country. Did a disciple of the Medicine Valley possess such capabilities?
Feng Ninghe explained simply, "It involves using rare treasures of heaven and earth to nourish Xin Xin's body and suppress the frequency of her attacks, so that she experiences them as little as possible."
The simple words floated lightly from her lips.
Su Hongxiu, however, understood that even with heavenly treasures, nourishing Xin Xin's body would not be so straightforward.
He lowered his gaze slightly, his eyes on Feng Ninghe deepening.
This woman seemed even more unusual than he had imagined.
"Sixth Master, your relationship with the King of Hell doesn't seem simple either. Are you enemies?"
Feng Ninghe asked in a low voice, a faint glint in her eyes.
She could sense that these two were like enemies and friends at the same time, making them unfathomable.
Su Hongxiu curved his lips slightly, the fan in his hand casually lifting his black hair. His gentle and melodious male voice emerged, "He and I have known each other since childhood. We are not enemies, but our way of interacting has always been like this."
Si Jianye's talent was extremely strong, even terrifying. He had gained fame at a young age.
Since childhood, he had considered this person a formidable rival and secretly compared himself.
No matter how hard he tried, the gap between them widened unintentionally.
However, his talent was not bad either; it just seemed inferior when compared to Si Jianye.
The current Si Jianye was the King of the Western You Continent, someone everyone wanted to curry favor with. Even a slight connection could ensure a lifetime of peace.
A hint of thought crossed Feng Ninghe's face, and she said softly, "I didn't expect you to know each other since childhood. It seems like you have a love-hate relationship."
"Love-hate relationship?"
The simple words caused Su Hongxiu's eyes to flicker. He laughed heartily and turned to look at Feng Ninghe.
"It's fitting to describe it as a love-hate relationship. However, I know that he wet the bed when he was six years old. His master had to clean up after him then."
After speaking, Su Hongxiu raised his eyebrows and added with a hint of smugness, "I stopped wetting the bed at the age of three."
This smug revelation of old secrets made Feng Ninghe smile.
It was hard to imagine what a six-year-old, ice-cold Si Jianye wetting the bed would look like.
These two really did expose each other's secrets.
As if struck by an idea, she turned to meet Su Hongxiu's smiling eyes. "Just how strong is the King of Hell?"
This was a question she had pondered for a long time.
This person was unfathomable. She could sense that Si Jianye's strength was terrifying.
Su Hongxiu's smile faded, and the speed at which he fanned himself clearly increased. "I also want to know how strong he truly is. I haven't sparred with him in a long time. From the moment he was born, he was in the Opening Light stage. I only started cultivating at two years old and reached the Opening Light stage at eight."
His words made Feng Ninghe curse inwardly.
These two were both monsters.
Most people started cultivating after the age of five or six, but Si Jianye was born in the Opening Light stage. What a coveted cultivation level that was!
His starting point was incomparable to others.
As for Su Hongxiu, he started cultivating at two and reached the Opening Light stage at eight. Such cultivation at that age was also monstrously abnormal.
Xiao Zhao, on Feng Ninghe's shoulder, widened his eyes and deliberately rubbed his ears as if afraid he had misheard. He chirped in surprise.
Born with cultivation?
There probably wasn't another person this monstrous in the world!
"Indeed, I have never met anyone as monstrous as him."
Su Hongxiu looked at Xiao Zhao and replied softly, "Everyone cultivates through their own efforts, but he is different. His cultivation speed can also be described as terrifying."
He had known Si Jianye since childhood and had personally witnessed how terrifying this man's talent was.
Xiao Zhao's eyes widened even further.
Master, can he understand me?
Facing the inquiry, Su Hongxiu said dismissively, "Of course. While human and beast languages are not perfectly understood, I am Sixth Master, how could I be an ordinary person?"
He admitted that his talent could not compare to Si Jianye's, but that was the extent of it.
In Jinling, his presence was also astonishing...
Feng Ninghe subconsciously looked at him, a hint of doubt in her eyes.
Even though Su Hongxiu appeared gentle and approachable, she was still completely clueless about his background.
Su Hongxiu seemed to recall something, and the corners of his mouth suddenly turned up. "The world only knows that the King of Hell's strength is immeasurable now, but they don't know that when he was young, he was chased by spirit bees all over the mountains."
"Spirit bees? Wasn't he in the Opening Light stage from birth? Would he be afraid of mere spirit bees?"
Feng Ninghe asked with some surprise.
Spirit bees were different from ordinary bees. A sting from one would take at least half a month to recover from.
The immortal honey produced by spirit bees was extremely delicious and rich in spiritual energy, aiding cultivation.
Su Hongxiu's eyes held a hint of depth as he clicked his tongue, full of emotion. "Although he was in the Opening Light stage from birth, he was still young and couldn't control spiritual arts. You have no idea how comical he looked when he was stung. His face was like a pig's head. He stayed in his room for half a month before he dared to leave."
At this moment, he was in a good mood.
Only he knew these embarrassing stories.
His words made Feng Ninghe laugh, and a strange image involuntarily appeared in her mind.
"Oh? I heard someone wet his pants after being chased by a wild chicken at the age of six?"
A cold male voice suddenly sounded from behind.
The voice carried a chill that made one's blood run cold.
Feng Ninghe's body stiffened involuntarily.
She subconsciously turned her head to look.
Standing behind her was a tall, slender figure who had appeared at some unknown time.
Si Jianye wore a golden mask, his eyes piercingly cold. The seductive red mole at the corner of his eye seemed to be coated with a layer of frost.
Su Hongxiu's smile faded, his expression becoming more serious. He said solemnly, "I didn't expect you to be here too."
It was indeed strange that the small Bai family could attract Si Jianye.
Or perhaps he wasn't here for the Bai family.
