the feeling of being seen through."Xia Tian, if I don't look at you, what am I supposed to do" Li Yunman asked."Do whatever you want as long as you stop staring at me," Li Yunman said with a pout.Xia...Chapter 1277: I Will Split Myself With You

"Little rascal, why do you always make me lose" Liu Meng was a bit unhappy. "I've lost all night long and I don't want to play anymore!"

Liu Meng had initially enjoyed playing, but after losing repeatedly, she finally became dissatisfied.

"Then we won't play. Let's go back now," Xia Tian was more than willing; he wasn't very enthusiastic about gambling here anyway.

"Alright then, I don't want to lose all my money here. Little rascal, I feel like this casino is deliberately making things difficult for me. Why don't you help me win all their money and make this miserable place go bankrupt!" Liu Meng started to be unhappy with the casino.

"Forget it, there's not much money in this lousy casino anyway, so I'm not bothered to win it." Xia Tian casually said that, pointing at a pile of cash on the table. "Miss Meng, there's several hundred thousand here. Take it if you want; consider it as your winnings."

"Haha, that's right, this is what I won from you," Liu Meng scooped up all the money and happily exclaimed, "I've won some money, let's go home!"

After saying that, she actually picked up the money and walked out. The other gamblers also stopped playing at this point, while the bald man was now very annoyed because he had been counting on Liu Meng to lose all these hundreds of thousands of dollars, only for her to take it with her.

Though he was angry, there was nothing he could do right now. But without a doubt, Xia Tian and Liu Meng would definitely be remembered by him.

The time wasn't actually that late at this point; besides, the production team had an incident tonight so everyone's emotions weren't completely settled yet. As such, they were still sitting in the main hall, waiting for Xia Tian to return since they didn't know what exactly was poisoned inside their house and none of them dared drink any water.

Seeing Liu Meng return with a big pile of cash, everyone was also quite surprised. These people weren't exactly unfamiliar with money; many of them could be considered wealthy. However, in this era, most transactions were done by card, and although they carried some cash on them, no one usually had such an amount at once. Even if someone did have tens or even hundreds of thousands of yuan, it would definitely be in their bag, not held directly like Liu Meng was.

What made everyone admire her more was that despite the pile being so large, she managed to keep every single bill from falling out. It truly seemed miraculous.

"Time to share!" Liu Meng shouted and casually handed money to each person, "Yuan Yuan, this is yours, and you over there, this one's for you—everyone gets some..."

In no time at all, she had distributed every single bill. Each of the more than thirty people got something; those with better luck received over ten thousand yuan while others still managed to get a few thousand.

"This is mine, oh, there's still another ten thousand or so left," Liu Meng kept some for herself and then smiled at Xia Tian mischievously. "Little rascal, you don't get any of this money, but I'll give myself to you!"

Before she finished her sentence, Liu Meng threw herself onto Xia Tian's back. "Come on, let’s go sleep now."

"Dreamy Sister, wait a moment!" Zhai Yuan hurriedly called out.

"Yuan Yuan, what is it" Liu Meng turned around to look at her puzzledly. "Is there not enough money for you Don’t worry, I’ll give you half of mine."

"Dreamy Sister, it’s not about the money!" Zhai Yuan hurriedly explained. "Everyone's waiting for Xia Tian to find out where the poison is."

“Oh right, I forgot all about that.” Liu Meng finally remembered and jumped off Xia Tian. “Little rascal, you’d better get started then!”

The summer heat didn't delay this time; he quickly took action. He went around the house, then headed to the kitchen. Shortly after, he returned to the main room.

"The food isn't poisoned, but there's pesticide in the water," Summer swiftly informed everyone of his conclusion.

"What" someone exclaimed. "Is it that someone put pesticides in the water jar"

There was a water jar in this room used for storing water.

"No, someone poured pesticide into the well at the back," Summer said lazily. "You shouldn't use that water temporarily; otherwise you might get poisoned again."

"Who could have done such a thing" Zhai Yu was rather indignant.

"How would anyone know No one saw it happen, and there's no surveillance video here to check. It’s impossible to find out," Dai Jin shook his head. "I think this is a dead end; we can't figure it out."

"Is that fool Lu Qian dead" Summer suddenly spoke up.

"Right, what about Lu Qian" When Summer asked this, the others also reacted suddenly.

"I even saw him this afternoon!"

"Yes, I've seen him too. Right, I remember he went to the area behind the kitchen!"

"Ah... I recall now. When I was using the toilet, I saw him returning from the well."

"So it's that小子who wants to harm us!"

"Let’s go and find him!"

"Right, let’s find him!"

The group all looked very angry and rushed out of the house to search for Lu Qian’s whereabouts.

Summer then carried Liu Meng into the house. In his view, this had nothing to do with him anymore; Dream Sister wasn't splitting money with him but was giving herself to him. So he naturally intended to enjoy her properly.

Green Peak Mountain.

Beyond the stone house stood a peerlessly beautiful immortal maiden in white robes—Moon Qingya.

Inside the stone house sat an equally enchanting dark-robed witch, Night Yu Mei.

"Mei, can I come in" Yue Qingya finally spoke, her tone gentle and slightly pleading.

"Speak your mind, I can hear you." Ye Yumei's tone remained cold, clearly she had not let go of her resentment towards Yue Qingya despite living here for several months.

"Mei, the reason I asked you to stay is not because I want to confine you. I merely hope that your body can recover and that misunderstandings between us could be cleared up. However, as time has passed, it seems our misunderstandings have grown deeper instead." Yue Qingya's voice carried deep helplessness and disappointment. "These days, I've been carefully considering what you said and believe perhaps I should let you do whatever it is you wish to."

"What I want to do doesn't need your approval!" Ye Yumei coldly retorted.

"Mei, don't be stubborn with me. I know you want to return. Before this, I didn't tell you where I first appeared upon arriving in this world. But now, I've decided to have someone take you there. Perhaps, at that place, you may find a way back." Yue Qingya sighed softly. "Though I wish to keep you here, I also do not want to go against your will. So, if you choose to leave, you don't need to stay for an entire year and can depart whenever you like."

"I reckon you just don't want me around to interfere with you and that little scoundrel Xia Tian!" Ye Yumei sneered.

"Mei, I cannot change your mind and do not wish to explain. But I hope you understand that I truly care about you. Thus, if you decide to go there, I must have someone accompany you." Yue Qingya continued: "As for who it is, perhaps you won't like them, but they are indeed the most suitable person to be with you."

"I don't need anyone's company!" Ye Yumei coldly stated.

"Mei, your current condition is something you know better than I do. If you go out alone, I won't feel at ease. Therefore, unless you agree to let Tian accompany you, then..." Yue Qingya did not finish her words as she was interrupted by Ye Yumei.

Ye Yumei's voice clearly carried anger: "You actually want that little scoundrel Xia Tian to go with me"

"Xiaomei, I know you're unhappy, but he is indeed the most suitable person. The yin fire within your body hasn't been completely eliminated, and his medical skills can control it; this is something no one else can do. Also, his current cultivation level is sufficient to protect you. Originally, I should have gone with you myself, but I must stay here to do another important task for you."

"Do you think that little rascal would protect me" Night Yumei appeared exceptionally angry. "Even if he really does want to protect me, I don't want such a scoundrel's protection!"

"Xiaomei, Xiaotian and you do indeed have some enmity between each other, but what I say goes for him, so when I ask him to protect you, he will genuinely protect you. There is no doubt about that," Moon Qingya said in a very decisive tone. "Perhaps you don't want his protection, but this is my sole requirement. Only if you agree to these terms can Xiaotian take you to the place."

"You could just tell me where it is and let me go on my own!" Night Yumei said indignantly.

"Xiaomei, I must ensure your safety before letting you leave. Otherwise, there's no way I would allow that," Moon Qingya was very resolute about this. "Perhaps you want to have Jade Beauty protect you, but I need Jade Beauty here to teach her some immortal sect techniques while you are searching for the way back home; only then can she properly protect you in the future."

"What does that mean" Night Yumei clearly didn't understand.

"If you truly find a way back, I must have someone escort you safely there. Otherwise, with your current cultivation level, it would be hard for you to survive on your own when returning. Since I can’t leave myself, the only person who is both suitable and willing to protect you is Jade Beauty. However, even though she now has Golden Core Realm cultivation, she doesn't understand some of the immortal sect techniques which will greatly impact her true combat strength; therefore, I need this period to teach her," Moon Qingya explained slowly.

"I just want to go back alone and don’t intend on bringing anyone else!" Night Yumei said coldly.

"Xiaomei, regarding this matter, I can't let you have your way. In short, if you decide to look for a way home, Xiaotian must accompany you. And when you find the method and want to return, Jade Beauty must go with you as well. Otherwise, I won’t allow you to leave Greenpeak Mountain," Moon Qingya said in an extremely firm tone. "I don't need you to make up your mind right now; I will give you time to think it over. If you have made a decision, come find me."d Yang Shan, then that matter can be offset.""That's what you say. If I manage to find Yang Shan, you won't be able to hold me responsible anymore; otherwise, I'll beat you up!" Summer didn't really w...
