My Wife Is The Final Boss-Chapter 846 - 472: Most of the Girls on Muyu Peak Are Broke (Double-Length) (Part 2)

Chapter 846: Chapter 472: Most of the Girls on Muyu Peak Are Broke (Double-Length) (Part 2)

"Master, what I mean is..." Wen Li turned her head to say something, and then... suddenly froze for a moment.

Even the determined look in her eyes faded for a moment.

Zhu Pingniang met Wen Li’s gaze, confused by Wen Li’s astonishment.

Then Zhu Pingniang’s old face blushed as she immediately realized she was still wearing half of her makeup.

Ah, how embarrassing.

Zhu Pingniang no longer cares about her makeup. She hastily wiped away the comical makeup on half of her face and coughed, pretending to be calm: "Ah Li, sister... I was just putting on makeup, you see, the match on your side has concluded, so I came over to check on you without much thought."

"...Hmm." Wen Li didn’t pursue the matter further.

Her mind was now full of the details of the examination. After fully deploying her Sword Intent to form her Domain, Wen Li discovered many discrepancies in her cultivation method, details she hadn’t paid attention to before. She believed... once she returned and settled down, she could manage to minimize the damage if she participated in another examination.

"You’re really quite a belligerent girl at heart." Zhu Pingniang gently poked Wen Li’s brow with her finger, teasingly saying, "Clearly, even the Half-Demon bloodline was given to Xiaohua. I wonder if you still use the Half-Demon as a cover."

Wen Li was somewhat helpless.

She just wanted to win.

Proving that after her junior brother appeared, her cultivation truly advanced by leaps and bounds... hence, approaching Xu Chang’an was necessary.

Thinking this, Wen Li was actually in a good mood.

But being treated with such affection by Zhu Pingniang, being regarded as a child, even Wen Li felt helpless.

At this moment, Li Zhibai stepped into the inner realm from the room. She glanced unexpectedly at Zhu Pingniang’s clean and beautiful face and blinked.

Hey, so it wasn’t as if it couldn’t be washed away? 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Then why always cover half of the face when they meet?

Li Zhibai couldn’t quite understand it for a moment, but rather than dwell on it, she approached Wen Li, resting her fingers on Wen Li’s snowy neck. After a brief gathering and release of True Yuan, she fully grasped her physical condition.

"You this girl... truly are..."

Feeling the return of a tangle of chaos, even Li Zhibai had a momentary pause in her tone.

She shook her head.

"Well, overall, there’s nothing to doubt about your abilities." Li Zhibai nodded, "When you return, I’ll resolve the matter of your desire to pause Sword Dao cultivation."

Li Zhibai was confident that if anyone in Chaoyun Sect knew Wen Li could send Zhu Tongjun of Taixu Realm away explosively from Mingxin Realm... with her guaranteeing fairness, no one would question Wen Li’s understanding of Sword Dao.

If she wants to halt Sword Dao cultivation, even if it lacks reason, it has reason: might makes right.

"Master Li, thank you." Wen Li bowed in salute.

"It’s a minor matter." Li Zhibai thought for a moment and handed Wen Li an elixir.

"Take it."

Wen Li looked at the elixir with eight golden patterns and a half-red stripe, knowing it was almost the closest to a Nine Patterns Elixir. She immediately shook her head.

"It’s not necessary," Wen Li said.

Though the patterns on the elixir, along with the intoxicating fragrances it emitted, all indicated that consuming it would completely restore her injuries.

However, she still thought it was too wasteful to let her consume such a thing.

It was her own doing, and since there was no forthcoming battle, she can fully rely on herself to slowly recover.

No need to waste the master’s elixir.

"...Not necessary? Well... I know." Li Zhibai nodded, "Indeed, you’re capable of recovering on your own."

Zhu Pingniang: "..."

Zhu Pingniang watched as Li Zhibai was about to withdraw the elixir she had taken out, seeing three question marks spring up in her mind.

Why didn’t she persuade a bit more?

The girl asked you to put it back, and you just did?

For Li Zhibai, it wasn’t a precious item, right? Wen Li said she didn’t want it, so you won’t give it?

Wen Li too, what reason do you have to refuse the goodwill from an elder?

Moreover, this was a rare chance to deepen their relationship... how could it end without any further discussion?

Zhu Pingniang profoundly understood the straightforward nature of Li Zhibai and Wen Li, feeling helpless as she reached and snatched the elixir from Li Zhibai’s hand.

"?" Li Zhibai was also puzzled and reminded, "It’s an elixir to heal meridians and Divine Soul damage, not applicable to your Glazed Golden Body."

Zhu Pingniang: "..."

She was definitely not going to consume the elixir originally for Wen Li.

With an arch of her brow, Zhu Pingniang irritably said, "I know, it’s for Ah Li to take."

"Didn’t she say she doesn’t need it?" Li Zhibai replied.

"She said she didn’t want it, and you just don’t give it? For a teacher, you..." Zhu Pingniang’s words were cut off by Wen Li.

"Master, I can recover slowly, plus Master Li is not my teacher now," Wen Li declared.

Currently, only the junior brother is the teacher’s student, she can only call ’Master Li,’ as per the rules.

"You..." Zhu Pingniang’s temple throbbed, as she looked at the two serious, seemingly justified girls, nearly breathless.

What?

Is it still my fault?

Unappreciative, is that right?

"I don’t care." Zhu Pingniang thrust the elixir before Wen Li: "What’s been given by Ah Bai, there’s no reason to take it back, understand?"

"...Master Li?" Wen Li sniffed the enticing fragrance at her nose, instinctively glancing at Li Zhibai.

"It’s not anything special, decide for yourself." Li Zhibai sensed impending trouble; an elixir is nothing, as long as Tong Jun is happy... it’s all that matters.

Wen Li was at a loss.

Currently, she was also the Senior of Muyu Peak, knowledgeable about many aspects, having supplemented her understanding of managing Muyu Peak with Master.

An Eight-Stripe, even nearly Nine-Stripe elixir at the master’s place... isn’t considered something special?

To know, Muyu Peak is not a wealthy place.

Wen Li suddenly understood why her master, who manages Muyu Peak’s finances, would always gaze at the master in awe.

A master who treats Eight-Stripe elixirs as consumables, how much might there be in the Sword Hall...

So that’s why.

Back then, Wen Li wondered, despite the master’s capabilities, it was common knowledge that she had no Spirit Stones, so how could she...

Now, Wen Li clearly understood the meaning of ’wealthy and bold.’

Seeing Wen Li looking dazedly at the elixir, Zhu Pingniang squinted.

Indeed, Wen Li’s thoughts were correct.

It’s because her master always had glittering eyes when seeing Li Zhibai, that Zhu Pingniang would be wary of her master.

How embarrassing.

Zhu Pingniang felt embarrassed.

Even Wen Li, it seems, has this embarrassing side... dazed over an elixir, return your previous cool, star-like temperament!

Now, seeing Wen Li in a trance over an elixir, Zhu Pingniang couldn’t help but wonder—

Would Wen Li someday become like her master... someone who only focuses on the elixir’s value, only thinks of using Ah Bai, extracting worth from Ah Bai?

Zhu Pingniang shook her head.

Not really.

Actually, Wen Li cares for these monetary externals, not because she’s stingy or petty, but because, as the Senior of Muyu Peak, she must be concerned about these.

Replenishing Muyu Peak’s empty treasury is also Wen Li’s duty.

Any woman in this position aware that Muyu Peak has someone like Ah Bai would definitely be tempted.

"Stop standing there foolishly, eat it." Zhu Pingniang urged.

"Master..." Wen Li regained clarity, still feeling consuming it would waste, even if it truly wasn’t significant to the master, replenishing Muyu Peak’s treasury would still be good.

"Ambition." Zhu Pingniang scoffed.

A way to get Wen Li to consume it, restore her health... otherwise, when she meets Chang’an, how would she explain this unavoidable need?

Should she tell Chang’an that his sister’s weakness is because of her own actions?

The fact is, it really was her doing.

This won’t do.

Her image as a ’gentle big sister’ in Chang’an’s mind mustn’t be disrupted.

Zhu Pingniang thought self-deceptively.

"If you don’t take it, are you planning to meet Chang’an in such a ragged state?" Zhu Pingniang said.

Wen Li: "..."
