Chapter 2964

Ouyang Tianyun did not care if his words hurt anyone. He simply disliked the little spirit in front of him.

Even though the spirit looked cute, it had interrupted Yan Xiwan’s absorption of energy. To Ouyang Tianyun, who was fiercely protective, this was unacceptable.

"You are too rude. This is my territory," the little spirit said.

"So what?" Ouyang Tianyun retorted directly. "Besides, I didn't ask you to find us. You brought us in yourself."

"Fine, I will send you out now," the spirit said, acting as if it were doing them a favor.

"No," Yan Xiwan opened her eyes. "Have you heard the saying, 'It is easy to invite a god, but hard to send her away'? You dragged us in, and now you want to send us away easily? Everything is up to you? There is no such good thing in this world."

"What do you want then?" The spirit felt like crying. It only wanted to scare them.

"First, tell us why you are in our house. And where are my parents?" Yan Xiwan asked.

"I am here because someone wanted to dispose of stolen goods and threw me into your home. I sent your parents to a place with nice scenery. They are living there temporarily," the spirit said listlessly.

"Don't worry, I didn't hurt them. Someone came to your house, and I was afraid something would happen, so I pulled your parents in."

"If you pulled them in, why didn't you send them out immediately?" Yan Xiwan asked.

"I wanted to! But before I could, you arrived. So, I had to pull you in too," the spirit explained.

"This sounds like you are hiding something," Yan Xiwan said.

Ouyang Tianyun nodded. "I feel like there is something being covered up too."

"There is nothing! Absolutely nothing! Please believe me, I really didn't do anything else," the spirit shouted.

Yan Xiwan looked at the spirit for a long time before speaking. "Even if you didn't do anything else, you pulled us in, and we were terrified."

The spirit: (⊙o⊙)…

Terrified? They arrived, took a trip, and absorbed all the spiritual energy. All the good things happened to her, and now she claims to be terrified? Who would believe that?

Yan Xiwan didn't care if the spirit believed her. She continued, "Because we were terrified, our mental state is poor."

The spirit: (￣△￣；) Mental state is poor? Yet she absorbed so much spiritual energy from here.

Yan Xiwan continued, "So, you must compensate us."

"What compensation?" The spirit was actually scared now. What kind of person is this? Why is she so terrifying?

Yan Xiwan raised an eyebrow slightly. "Take out one hundred portions of rare and good things from here, and I will leave."

"Are you robbing me? No," the spirit shook its head directly. It would never give her its treasures. This person was too scary.

"If you don't give them to us, we won't leave. We will just treat this as a treasure hunt. Whatever we find will be ours," Yan Xiwan said with a smile.

It was just a little spirit. Dealing with it was simple.

The spirit’s face looked like it was collapsing. Its only thought was: How can such a person exist? How can such a person exist?

Ouyang Tianyun, standing aside, looked kind. "I think it is better if you give something. Otherwise, she will not leave."

The spirit sighed. The way it sighed looked incredibly cute.

"What do you want?" the spirit asked.

"Anything is fine. The key is that it must be useful for us. Don't give us something that looks good but is useless," Yan Xiwan stated her opinion.

The spirit thought for a moment and then produced an object. "How about this?"

"A pill furnace?" Yes, it was a pill furnace, but it looked different from ordinary ones.

The furnace was transparent, but the material was definitely not glass or glazed pottery.

"What is this transparent pill furnace?" Yan Xiwan had never seen one.

"Could this be the legendary Crystal Clear Furnace?" Ouyang Tianyun pondered. "Shortened to Crystal Pill Furnace."

"Crystal Pill Furnace?" Yan Xiwan had never heard that name.

"This Crystal Pill Furnace is not actually made of crystal. It is just transparent in appearance. It has another beautiful name: Floating Water, Dream-like Snow, Crystal Ice Phoenix Jade Pill Furnace. It is said that Nuwa forged it, imitating the Shennong Cauldron. The Shennong Cauldron appeared to cure the people's illnesses, so it looked like that. Nuwa was a woman and liked beautiful things. After forging the Nuwa Stone, she had leftover materials, so she forged this Crystal Furnace."

Ouyang Tianyun introduced the background of the Crystal Pill Furnace.

"It shouldn't be called the Crystal Pill Furnace then. Since the full name is Floating Water, Dream-like Snow, Crystal Ice Phoenix Jade Pill Furnace, the short name could be Ice Phoenix Furnace or Jade Pill Furnace. Why call it Crystal Pill Furnace?" Yan Xiwan felt the short name was too careless. Although Crystal Pill Furnace seemed more accurate, it sounded vulgar.

"Great vulgarity is great elegance," Ouyang Tianyun said, seeing her expression. she explained to her.

Yan Xiwan listened to Ouyang Tianyun’s introduction, tilted her head slightly, and thought. "Okay, that reason is acceptable."

Ouyang Tianyun added, "But hasn't this Crystal Pill Furnace been missing for a long time? Why is it in your painting? What is your origin?"

Ouyang Tianyun looked at the little spirit. He did not believe that a spirit capable of producing a Crystal Pill Furnace was simple.

The spirit rubbed its hands together before speaking. "Actually, I do not originally belong here. I belong to the Black Emperor’s study in the Supreme Ink Palace. I was drawn by the Black Emperor. However, once, the Empress accidentally threw me away. I was thrown into this world and became like this. But the Empress said that after I send out this Crystal Pill Furnace, I can return."

"Hehe, so you are in a hurry to give me this Crystal Pill Furnace?" Yan Xiwan looked at the spirit. "When you pulled us in, you probably didn't expect us to have this ability. Now you give it to us to please us, and of course, getting rid of the Crystal Pill Furnace is also your goal. So, you still haven't told us the real reason you appeared here."

Does it really think those words can hide the truth from me? Yan Xiwan thought. I am Yan Xiwan. How could I be deceived by such things?

The spirit couldn't believe Yan Xiwan was so powerful, breaking its scheme in an instant.

"I don't understand what you mean," the spirit said, feeling a bad premonition.

"Don't you understand? Then I can explain it to you," Yan Xiwan said slowly. "Although you are pretending well now, you are full of loopholes."

"Loopholes? What loopholes? I don't understand what you are saying," the spirit said.

Yan Xiwan didn't want to play games anymore. She spoke directly. "First, you appeared in my home inexplicably. You said someone threw stolen goods into my home. If that were true, you should have tried harder to avoid being discovered. Instead, you pulled my parents into this painting. This contradicts what you said."

Yan Xiwan continued, "Second, when we discovered you, you didn't appear immediately to explain, nor did you release my parents. Instead, you pulled us into the painting directly. You can explain pulling us in by saying you cannot appear before humans and can only explain things inside the painting. But you didn't appear immediately.

Instead, you first used beautiful scenery to confuse us, and then simulated the appearance of hell, as if trying to scare us.

So I am curious, what is your purpose in doing this?"

Yan Xiwan tilted her head, looking at the little spirit. "I don't believe pies fall from the sky. Similarly, I don't believe you would randomly give us things. So, can I understand that the things you give us are related to yourself?"

Wisdom flashed in Yan Xiwan’s eyes. "You are in a hurry to get rid of the Crystal Pill Furnace, which means the furnace clashes with you. You said you were drawn by the Black Emperor. How could the Empress casually throw away the Black Emperor’s creation? Such items wouldn't just appear on them casually. The fact that the Empress threw you away means you must have violated the Empress’s taboos."

Yan Xiwan paused deliberately, staring at the spirit. The spirit was completely stunned. It couldn't believe anyone in the world could reason like this.

"Your origin should be fine. The Black Emperor drew you. But the Black Emperor drew you to use you. No, he used this painting to seal a mysterious aura. The Crystal Pill Furnace appeared in this painting to assist the painting. What they wanted to seal was never the painting, but you."

When Yan Xiwan said the words "but you," she pointed directly at the spirit. "You are not the little spirit of this painting. Although you look cute, your eyes reveal that you are not the spirit of this painting."

"You… don't talk nonsense," the spirit panicked.

Yan Xiwan ignored the spirit’s panic and continued. "You are not the spirit of this painting, but you can transform into a little spirit. This means you must be a strand of evil aura with illusionary powers."

Yan Xiwan clapped her hands. "Of course, dealing with a small thing like you, the Black Emperor only needs one finger. But the Black Emperor probably wanted you to resolve the evil aura on your body. So, she had the Empress seal the Crystal Pill Furnace here too. I think one function of the Crystal Pill Furnace is to keep your mind clear, so you won't be swallowed by this evil aura."
