MTL NOVEL Chapter 18
Chapter 18: Cherishing the New Master, Mo Liushu Is Jealous!
“You want to go back on your word?” The Little Demoness glared at Mo Liushu, her voice tinged with anger.
“Go back on my word? That’s not the case… You never had the qualifications to trade with me from the very beginning; this is merely a temporary measure,” Mo Liushu replied without a change in her expression. “I’ll say it again: hand over the Seven-Star Crimson Lotus, and then kneel on the ground, waiting for the verdict!”
“What if I say no?” Zhou Tong rubbed his forehead, speaking neither humbly nor arrogantly.
“Then I’ll have you torn to pieces!”
Ge Hongqiu raised her eyebrows and said, “Weren’t you just acting so arrogant? If you dare to force us to kneel, you should have expected this kind of outcome!”
“Enough with the nonsense; it’s time to teach this garbage a lesson!”
Jiang Yuyao, equally furious, wished she could punish Zhou Tong with the most severe of penalties!
“Kneel!”
Mo Liushu pressed her palm down, like a towering mountain, crashing down on the shoulders of the two.
Both their bodies trembled violently, nearly buckling, but in an instant, they stood firm, unwilling to bend.
“Are you trying to bully the Joyful Union Sect? Or do you wish to battle our Master?”
The Little Demoness stepped forward, channeling the Joyful Harmony Celestial Skill, raising a sea of red dust.
Hearing this, Mo Liushu showed even more disdain.
“Your Master… is that exhausted, useless person you’re referring to?”
Laughter erupted around them, as if mocking the Little Demoness’s desperation.
Just days ago, they had seen clearly that the female demoness was barely able to protect herself and had long since lost her intimidating power.
“Hmph! You’ve miscalculated; my Master has already taken the Bodhi Pill. Although she hasn’t returned to her peak, it’s more than enough to deal with you!”
“Big talk, empty bravado!”
Tang Qi stepped down from the high platform, looking down at Zhou Tong with an unparalleled sense of superiority on his face.
“Don’t think I don’t know; you can’t refine the Bodhi Pill at all, and you suffered severe injuries to your Dao as a result, or else you wouldn’t be so eager to obtain the Seven-Star Crimson Lotus!”
Hearing this, Mo Liushu suddenly understood.
“So that’s it; you incompetent fool not only wants to save yourself, but you also want to save that female demoness. Unfortunately, you won’t have that chance!”
As she spoke, she pressed down with more intensity, trying to completely crush Zhou Tong and Ge Hongqiu.
At that moment, a light shout rang out like a phoenix’s cry, echoing through the skies.
“Dare to harm my disciple? How many lives do you think you have to repay?”
The sky shimmered, thunder and wind howled, and invisible ripples surged toward Mo Liushu, making her the first to bear the brunt!
“Boom!!”
Accompanied by a thunderous explosion, her aura exploded outward, causing her to lose balance and step back into the void repeatedly.
The crowd felt a blur before their eyes as a figure reminiscent of an immortal suddenly appeared.
“Master of the Joyful Union Sect!”
“Female demoness!”
Many stood up, addressing Mu Ran Ya with various expressions, their nerves at their breaking point.
The Little Demoness breathed a sigh of relief, grateful that Zhou Tong had anticipated this scene and promptly sent her a message; otherwise, today could have ended badly.
“Who dares to act ferociously here? The Jade Purity Sect is not a place for you to run wild!”
Several elders took to the air, surrounding Mu Ran Ya.
“Several old fools dare to stand level with me? Get out of my way!”
Mu Ran Ya’s long hair was sprinkled with snow, and she activated the Jade Demon Body directly.
She seemed like a different person; a cold and murderous aura surged forth like a tidal wave, causing many people to feel chilled to the bone.
This female demoness had once toppled several sects with such a demeanor!
“Calm down! Let’s talk this through!”
The elders of the Jade Purity Sect felt the pressure and their pupils dilated, sensing danger.
“Want me to be calm after injuring my disciple? Why don’t you just go die?”
Mu Ran Ya was unyielding; a hand seal was struck directly, exploding in the void, sending terrifying ripples sweeping in all directions that simultaneously injured several elders, causing them to tumble down, bleeding profusely.
This scene sent shockwaves through the crowd.
So powerful! Where was the exhausted, useless figure? It seemed this woman really had taken the Bodhi Pill, and Zhou Tong had refined it!
“That’s impossible; you were clearly on the verge of death. That waste couldn’t possibly refine a seventh-grade pill!”
Tang Qi’s face darkened as he stated with certainty.
His words reminded many of that day’s scene, where indeed, heavenly thunder and earth fire had appeared near Red Dust Mountain.
That must have been the phenomenon caused by the Bodhi Pill, right?
With that thought, many people’s faces exhibited blank expressions.
If Tang Qi could refine fifth-grade pills, then what was Zhou Tong?
A prodigy? A monster!
It seems that in the realm of alchemy, it wasn’t that Zhou Tong couldn’t compare to Tang Qi; it was that Tang Qi wasn’t even worthy to be mentioned in the same breath as Zhou Tong!
“This is impossible. They must have obtained the Bodhi Pill through other means!” Jiang Yuyao said, “In the younger generation, no one can surpass my junior brother.”
“Exactly, only this explanation makes sense!”
Mo Liushu adjusted her aura and faced off against Mu Ran Ya from a distance.
The two stunning beauties stood tall in the void; this scene was undoubtedly eye-catching.
However, there was still a gap between the peerless beauties.
Mo Liushu was like the bright moon in the sky, while Mu Ran Ya, even if compared to the true moon, would still overshadow it.
In comparison, the superiority and inferiority were immediately apparent!
“Dare to harm them, and I’ll make you pay the price.”
Mu Ran Ya’s expression changed quickly as she prepared to strike.
“Hmph, they were merely garbage I discarded. Yet you treat them like treasures; truly desperate!”
Mo Liushu’s expression shifted slightly but she couldn’t help but retort.
Hearing this, Mu Ran Ya actually halted, her eyes suddenly filled with playful interest.
“Are you jealous?”
“What a joke, what is there for me to be jealous of you?”
“Plenty, you envy that I am stronger than you, envy that I am more beautiful than you, and even more so, you envy that the little one chose to take my side right after abandoning you.”
Mo Liushu gradually withdrew the smile from her face.
Mu Ran Ya continued unabated: “You don’t know how much the little one loves having me as his new master; he cares for my wounds and checks in on me every day. Not only does he refine various spirit pills for me, but at night he even helps me with massages…”
Mo Liushu clenched her fists secretly, her cheeks slightly reddening.
However, Mu Ran Ya twirled a finger in her hair, looking both bashful and satisfied as she said, “Having such an excellent and considerate little one is indeed troubling. I’ve told him not to bother with such trivial matters, yet he still gets stern with me!
Alas, what can I do? Of course, I need to cherish him well; whoever dares to bully him will face eternal damnation!”
Suddenly, Mu Ran Ya’s expression sharpened; she locked her gaze onto Mo Liushu and said, “I’m certain that when the little one was under your care, he didn’t treat you this well. You have no one to blame but yourself for being so ugly!”
“Preposterous! He treats me even better!”
Mo Liushu was thoroughly enraged, her aura surging violently and completely uncontrollable.
She wasn’t angry over Mu Ran Ya’s jabs; it was because she was genuinely jealous!
Lies don’t hurt; the truth is the sharp blade!
She was jealous that Zhou Tong showed such respect and care for everyone except her; this should have been her exclusive privilege. If she didn’t give it, no one was allowed to take it!
“Unexpected!”
Mu Ran Ya’s expression turned icy. “You want to drive him away even though he treats you so well. You really are a beast!”
