172 You Rate Is Too Expensive for Me

The old man stood up and saluted Dong Xi respectfully. The old man said, “Thank you for your help, fairy. I’m called Yi Li, and I’ve been in Fotai City for a few hundred years. If there’s anything you don’t understand in the future, just come and ask me.”

Dong Xi shook her head and said with a serious face, “Old man, your rates are too expensive. I can’t afford it!”

It was rare for Yu Li to be so serious, and now, she was almost breaking down!

Yu Li immediately took out the spirit stones and returned them to Dong Xi, saying, “If I knew that you’ve done Qianqian a favor, I wouldn’t have dared to accept it. You don’t have to call me an old man either. Just call me ‘Uncle’ as Qianqian does.”

“Uncle Yu Li?” Dong Xi blinked and called out.

Yu Li laughed. He suddenly thought of something and asked, “Fairy, how did you know that I’m Qianqian’s uncle?”

Dong Xi deliberately kept him in suspense and said, “Because of…”

Seeing that Yu Li wanted to know immediately, Dong Xicai said, “Because there’s one thing about you that’s very similar to you!”

“What is it?” asked Yu Li anxiously.

Dong Xi moved closer to Yu Li and said in a low voice, “You and Qianqian can’t hide your tails well!”

Yu Li, “…”

Yu Li had been in Futai city for so long, how could he not have hidden well? It was all because of that person who had lifted him up. His clothes could not cover himself at all, so only the tip of his tail was exposed!

Forget it, I’ll be more careful in the future.

Yu Li looked at Dong Xi and asked, “Where is my niece now?”

“She should be looking for you all over the city. Why don’t you close your stall and wait for her at the Ningtian Sect’s encampment with me?” said Dong Xi.

This time, Yu Li did not say anything. He just kept her stall and followed Dong Xi.

After turning a few corners and exiting the alley once more, a red glow appeared on Yu Li’s body. A young man in red appeared beside Dong Xi.

Dong Xi felt the change in spiritual Qi. When she turned around, she was stunned.

If the great snake was described as a feminine and dangerous beauty, then the one in front of him was a hot and gorgeous beauty.

“This?” Dong Xi exclaimed. You!!!”

Dong Xi suddenly felt that the cultivation world was not bad at all!

She must have been doing good in the 18 years of her previous life. Otherwise, how could she have met so many handsome men?

However, Dong Xi could not say the words ‘Uncle Yu Li’ to such a handsome young man.

When Yu Li saw Dong Xi’s reaction, he felt a little troubled. He frowned and sighed helplessly.

The handsome man sighed. He was still so good-looking.

“Why are you sighing?” Dong Xi asked. “With such a handsome face, you should be happy every day.”

Yu Li looked at Dong Xi and asked softly, “Am I handsome?”

“Of course you’re handsome!” Dong Xi nodded and immediately replied. “It’s only right to say that you’re rare in the human world!”

Dong Xi looked at the handsome faces of the great snake and Second Senior Brother every day, but she still felt that Yi Li was very handsome.

But in the next moment, Yu Li cried out, “Of course I’m handsome. This is what I got in exchange for my cultivation!

Dong Xi was stunned. She could not accept it.

Why did he say that it was exchanged for cultivation?

No, it should be asking for a title!

“What did you say when you were asking for the title?” asked Dong Xi.

Yu Li almost burst into tears.

“That woman said that I was a man with a smile on my face, with eyebrows like green feathers and skin as white as snow,” Yu Li replied.

“It’s my fault!” Dong Xi said after a moment of silence.

Dong Xi’s words puzzled Yu Li.

Yu Li looked at Dong Xi carefully, then said, “What do you mean by your fault? You weren’t even born when I asked for the title, right?”

Dong Xi lowered her head and frowned. She said guiltily, “Why didn’t I think of this word at that time? It’s my fault that I didn’t study well. Otherwise, I could’ve gotten Qianqian a peerless face too!”

Yu Li, “…”

He had originally thought that Dong Xi would say a few words of comfort, but he had not expected it to be like this!

Dong Xi looked at Yu Li and immediately asked, “You said you exchanged it with your cultivation? What do you mean?”

Yu Li sighed, “When the fox race was being conferred the title, if we were to become Immortals, our cultivation base would be left behind. If we were to be called humans, our cultivation base would be dispersed and we’ll take on the human form.”

When Dong Xi heard this, she frowned and said, “But I noticed that you have spiritual energy around you.”

Yu Li looked at Dong Xi, finding it hard to explain in a few words. “Little girl, I’ve been in Fotai City for hundreds of years. My aptitude is still good. I can still cultivate.”

Dong Xi could not hold on to her smile and immediately coughed a few times, “Alright, let’s go and see Qianqian. Otherwise, she’ll be waiting anxiously!”
