Chapter 1484: Cheng Jiuhe Gets Angry

Meng Li, for the first time, set her sights on a man and even resorted to schemes, only to end in defeat.

Not only did she fail to win the man, but she also lost her cultivation at the Third Layer of Qi Refining. Although she believed that with her master around, she could cultivate again in the future, for now, she had certainly become a mortal.

Since she became an apprentice, she always considered herself an Immortal Master, looking down on mortals. Unexpectedly, one day, she would be returned to her original form.

What should she do? Just hand Gu Dongxing over to that Nan Mengyu?

She forgot that Gu Dongxing was originally Nan Mengyu’s.

She couldn’t accept it! No, I must tell my master to let him decide for me!

As soon as Cheng Jiuhe saw his sister, he anxiously asked, "Sister, how are you?"

He knew that his sister had entered a Life and Death Contract with Gu Dongxing. Gu Dongxing was injured and on the brink of death; his sister undoubtedly suffered harm as well.

Mengyu’s heart warmed; only her brother would first think about whether she was all right.

"Don’t worry, brother, I’m fine. It’s just that I took a few more Great Recovery Pills."

Cheng Jiuhe had used Great Recovery Pills before and knew that one pill could restore a person’s vitality. The contract drew vitality from Mengyu and gave it to Gu Dongxing, and Mengyu took Great Recovery Pills to compensate, so she should be fine.

However, he didn’t know that Gu Dongxing’s vitality dissipated too much, and the extracted vitality couldn’t keep up with the speed of its loss, almost resulting in his death.

Mengyu faced another crisis this time — the Heart Demon invasion crisis. She actually harbored thoughts of killing Meng Li and her master, and even Wang Tielin too. At that time, she contemplated eliminating the threat forever, nearly allowing the Heart Demon to invade.

Cheng Jiuhe didn’t pay attention to his sister’s thoughts. After ensuring his sister was okay, he turned his attention to Gu Dongxing, checking for a while to make sure his body was not seriously impaired. But —

"His Dantian—"

"He was exhausted of Spiritual Power and energy when he was hit by a full-force charge from a First-level demon beast rhino, thus injuring his Dantian. Even the Golden Core has cracks. But I have already fed him Great Recovery Pills and Revitalizing Pills; his body is no longer seriously affected, and his Dantian needs to heal slowly after his body recovers."

Cheng Jiuhe suddenly remembered, "I don’t believe my brother-in-law couldn’t even dodge a First-level rhino; is there another reason?"

Mengyu hesitated for a moment and then explained the process of Gu Dongxing’s injury to him.

As expected, Cheng Jiuhe immediately flew into a rage, ready to confront Meng Li, but was stopped by Mengyu, "Enough, I’ve already reverted her back to her original form. She is now a mortal, which is punishment enough."

Actually, Mengyu ruined Meng Li also because she had a master within the Immortal Sect. Due to Meng Li’s aptitude, her master must value her highly; otherwise, she wouldn’t have cultivated such an arrogant disposition.

If she could still cultivate, her master might cause trouble for her on Meng Li’s behalf. Moreover, even if her master doesn’t seek trouble, she might when her cultivation improves.

Though her cultivation wasn’t afraid of her, she didn’t want to be targeted.

By abolishing Meng Li, her master might seek justice but would consider her ability. Seeing it wouldn’t work, he would give up. After all, it isn’t worth investing too much effort for a pawn that has been destroyed.

Secondly, it also prevents problems from Meng Li’s retaliation in the future — a mortal could never exact revenge on a cultivator.

Upon hearing Mengyu’s reasons and thoughts, Cheng Jiuhe refrained from pursuing Meng Li further, recognizing that they were already different from mortals; it would demean their status to trouble a young girl.
