Chapter 788: I’ve Helped You So Much, You Should Offer Yourself in Return

Shi Miaomiao’s expression immediately became extremely dramatic.

But she quickly adjusted, pushing Shi Honghong forward, saying, "Even better, you marry her!"

Shi Honghong was pushed so hard that he nearly stumbled and fell.

He immediately stopped, quickly retreated, and then looked at Nanli, trembling as he said, "Are you really my sister? You want me to marry such an ugly woman?"

"How can I not be your sister? Didn’t I give up my own happiness for Shi Family?" Shi Miaomiao looked him over, "You know, your alchemy talent is just average. If you marry a wife with high talent, your children won’t be as useless as you."

So, for a while, she had already decided that she would make her brother marry this woman.

This would undoubtedly ensure that Shi Family would leave the other three families far behind and be uncatchable in the future.

Shi Honghong said, "Big sister, you can do it, but I can’t. Even if my children are useless, I can’t sleep with such an ugly woman and have children."

Oh my God, please spare him!

Shi Miaomiao slapped his back, causing him to cry out in pain.

"Are you stupid? She used a Face-Changing Talisman, you don’t know her real face, so how can you say she’s ugly?"

"Well, she does have a unique taste. Otherwise, why would she disguise herself like this?" Shi Honghong sneered, refusing to back down. "No, I really can’t sacrifice myself for the family."

He wanted to pursue true love!

At this moment, Shi Miaomiao almost felt like she could kill him.

Nanli rolled her eyes.

It seemed that no matter whether they were ordinary people or cultivators, as long as they had a family or a sect, they all wanted to use marriage to consolidate and strengthen their power.

The Bai family was like this, and so was the Shi Family.

It was also clear that these families fought fiercely in Jiuzhou Town.

Shi Miaomiao still tightly clutched the alchemy recipe.

Nanli then asked, "Miss Shi, besides marriage, is there any room for negotiation?"

"Of course not," Shi Miaomiao refused flatly. "Only if you marry my brother will you get the Five Elements Nascent Soul Pill."

"Then there’s no need to waste time."

Nanli raised an eyebrow, extending her hand. "Please return the recipe."

Shi Miaomiao was reluctant to let it go. Relying on her numbers, she said with a threatening tone, "If I were you, I’d leave quickly. Nanli, since you refuse to become part of Shi Family, don’t blame me for being ruthless. Once I send the signal, you’ll be surrounded by the cultivators of Jiuzhou Town. You won’t even be able to resist without Qingwu Venerable Master."

Ye Yanqin was shocked, "You... how did you know my master’s identity?!"

Even Shi Honghong exclaimed, "What? Big sister, she... she’s Nanli?!"

Shi Miaomiao kicked him, furious, "This Immortal World is vast, but fewer and fewer people remain. If there were such a powerful Pill Cultivator, how would I not know? Moreover, her disguise technique could even avoid the city’s spell arrays. Who else could it be but the recently famous Nanli?"

Her stupid brother, honestly.

Nanli was a little displeased, her voice deep. "I am willing to inform you that I borrowed someone else’s identity because I trusted Miss Shi. Now I realize I misjudged the person."

Shi Miaomiao’s brow furrowed slightly.

Indeed, she should return the recipe.

But...

No, this improved recipe was far too tempting. She wanted to let go, but her hands refused to release it.

Finally, she made a decision. "Nanli, either stay forever with Shi Family, serving us and developing pills, or leave the recipe and leave immediately."

Nanli’s eyes narrowed with killing intent.

"Then I..."

She wouldn’t be polite.

Suddenly, Shi Honghong charged forward, shouting, "So you’re Nanli. I’m going to take you to get spirit stones!"

"Brother!" Shi Miaomiao shouted, but it was too late.

Shi Honghong rushed right in front of Nanli, and before he could attack, Nanli grabbed him by the throat.

Nanli didn’t kill him, though, because she realized Shi Honghong hadn’t shown any killing intent.

Just as she was puzzled, Shi Honghong leaned in and whispered, "Take me as a hostage, and my sister will definitely give you the pill."

"..." Nanli’s lips twitched. What was going on here?

Seeing her confusion, Shi Honghong immediately relaxed and hurriedly added, "Be more ruthless. Even if you hurt me, it doesn’t matter. Just don’t let my sister notice."

Nanli wasn’t sure why he was helping her, but since he had delivered himself to her, she couldn’t refuse.

She grabbed him, her hand leaving red marks on his neck.

She said coldly, "Hand over the Five Elements Nascent Soul Pill, or I’ll kill him."

Shi Miaomiao’s face turned ashen, and she glared at Shi Honghong before saying, "Kill him. I’ll pretend I don’t have this brother."

"Big sister!" Shi Honghong screamed, "I’m your real brother! How can you ignore me? She wants the pill, just give it to her. Our family doesn’t just have one Five Elements Nascent Soul Pill."

Shi Miaomiao clenched her fists, "This is the third time this month. You perverted fool, stealing family pills for beautiful women. I won’t tolerate it this time!"

"Big sister, I promise it’s the last time..." Shi Honghong was about to cry. "How can you watch such a beautiful woman cry for a pill? As a gentleman, I can’t stand it."

"Other less precious pills might be okay, but the Five Elements Nascent Soul Pill is absolutely not allowed!" Shi Miaomiao refused coldly.

"Big sister..."

Nanli finally understood why Shi Honghong was helping her.

He was just a perverted man who cared only for beautiful women. For a moment, Nanli didn’t know what to say.

No wonder he kept trying to get closer to her.

Thinking of this, she couldn’t take it anymore and pushed him away.

Shi Honghong fell to the ground, staring back at her in shock. "Nanli, little beauty, why...?"

"You don’t need to help anymore. I’ll think of another way," Nanli said.

Shi Honghong’s eyes widened. "How can you be so ungrateful? I’ve helped you so much, you should offer yourself in return!"

He had never met a woman who rejected his good intentions.

This was interesting.

Nanli, however, responded, "You are a son of Shi Family. Though your sister supports Shi Family, that doesn’t mean you can be a useless fool. Just now, when I checked your meridians and Dantian age, I found that at five hundred years old, you are still in the early Golden Core stage. How embarrassing."

And the only reason he managed to break through Golden Core was with pills.

Unfortunately, he had made no progress and his cultivation had stagnated.

No wonder Shi Miaomiao was so furious.

Shi Honghong froze, and then tears began to gather in his eyes. "You... you actually scolded me in front of so many people? Even my father and my big sister wouldn’t do that!"

"I didn’t just scold you. I also kicked you," Nanli retorted, her anger flaring, kicking him back toward Shi Miaomiao.
