Chapter 1068 407: How to Have It Both Ways (2)
"Feel free to eat, they're all yours." Li Xiu summoned the bride-to-be, allowing her to indulge in the Ruby.
The bride-to-be wasn't as ravenous as a Jedi Knight or Demigod Shana; she moved with grace, extending her snow-white fingers to pick up a Ruby over ten carats, gently pinching it between her fingers.
Visible red fluorescence drifted from the Ruby, strands of red light merging into the bride-to-be's wedding dress, making the dress appear more vivid and lively.
Originally, Li Xiu thought that the bride-to-be's speed in devouring the Ruby wouldn't be fast, after all, she hadn't fused with any sinister elements, and her digestion ability was limited.
But to Li Xiu's surprise, the bride-to-be quickly absorbed the gemstone energy from the Rubies she pinched.
In just half a day, a whole box of the finest Rubies had turned to dust, and the bride-to-be had reached the Spirit Casting Peak.
"My love, I'm full and need to rest." The bride-to-be gracefully bowed and automatically returned to Li Xiu's finger.
Though she only consumed one box, her speed had exceeded Li Xiu's expectations. He just didn't know how long it would take her to fully digest.
The bride-to-be who advanced to Spirit Casting Peak still didn't have significant attribute changes; she only had one talent skill, the wedding dress, while only level and Primordial Embryo Quality were improving. Light Base number and the Spirit Forging State weren't showing up.
"Truly a strange demon spirit." Li Xiu wanted to continue feeding the Dragon Vein Spirit to allow it to grow as much as possible, but it's a pity he didn't know what kind of gemstones the Dragon Vein Spirit ate. Despite offering many types of gemstones, it showed little interest, which left Li Xiu somewhat frustrated.
Currently, the two Aurora Demon Spirits in his possession were too peculiar; they took great effort to nurture, yet it was hard to say what impact they would ultimately have.
Li Xiu opened other gemstone boxes, took out some gemstones to feed to other demon spirits, but unfortunately, their digestion capacities and appetites were limited, making it impossible for Li Xiu to quickly elevate their levels in the short term.
"If only I could get some sinister elements again." Li Xiu, feeling helpless, put away the demon spirits that were stuffed full.
"Commander, the old commander wants to see you." Old Jia's voice came from outside the door.
"Let him wait in the living room." Li Xiu thought for a moment and said.
After tidying up things, Li Xiu entered the living room and saw the old commander drinking tea there.
"Old commander, what brings you here?" Li Xiu asked, knowingly.
"Li, my old friend, I'm here to ask for your help." The old commander smiled, "The Divine Position Gemstone made by Wan Chaocun was your handiwork, right? I want one as well. Name your price, I'll pay whatever it takes."
Since the old commander's approach was so forthright, Li Xiu didn't feign ignorance and said, "The drop rate of Divine Position Gemstones is extremely low. I don't have any right now, even if I want to sell it to you, you'll have to wait until I get one in hand."
"Alright, then reserve one for me. Name your price. I have a stash of gemstones, and if that's not enough, I can sell my business to trade for more gemstones." The old commander said.
"Brother, I almost have enough gemstones now. Do you have any sinister elements..." Li Xiu asked.
"That stuff is hard to come by, and it might take some time to find, but I can try my best. Just don't spread the word," the old commander pondered.
"Okay." Li Xiu nodded.
"How many sinister elements do you need?" The old commander thought for a moment and asked.
"The more, the better," Li Xiu replied.
"Got it, wait for my good news." The old commander said, leaving immediately to gather sinister elements.
Li Xiu also prepared to return to the Land of Trial. If the old commander really managed to get sinister elements, he needed to have a Divine Position Gemstone ready for trade.
"Li Xiu, are you free now?" Just as Li Xiu was stepping out of Courtyard No. 7, he saw Li Qingyi standing outside the door, looking at him with a somewhat complex expression.
"Did something happen?" Li Xiu felt unsure of how to face Li Qingyi and Li Ming'Er.
There must be a life-and-death battle between him and the president. Should they find out he killed their father, Li Xiu wouldn't know how to interact with them in the future.
"Nothing in particular, I just haven't seen you in a while and wanted to invite you for a meal if you have time," Li Qingyi said.
"A meal invite from a beautiful lady, how could I refuse, even if I'm busy?" Li Xiu feigned a relaxed tone.
"I'm not as attractive as the ones you have at home." Li Qingyi smiled slightly, though the smile seemed somewhat forced.
Li Xiu originally thought Li Qingyi would take him to a restaurant, but unexpectedly, they went to her own courtyard instead.
"Wait a moment, it'll be ready soon," Li Qingyi said as she entered the house, and soon Li Xiu heard the sounds of chopping and cooking from inside.
Before long, Li Qingyi brought out four dishes and a soup. Though he couldn't judge the taste, they certainly looked and smelled good.
"For you to personally cook for me, Miss, is quite an honor," Li Xiu remarked, looking at Li Qingyi with an apron, who indeed gave off an air of a virtuous wife and loving mother.
He had many beauties by his side, but one like Li Qingyi was indeed one of a kind.
Li Ming'Er was enchanting and cute, with an angelic face and a devilish figure; Sha Chu was mature and sexy, a typical strong woman; A Fei was a bit aloof, not quite beautiful, but she had her unique charm and appeal.
