The male lead's reason for "borrowing" the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth was very strange. He wanted to use it to refine a magical pill that could detoxify the daughter of the Sky Cloud Sect's master and restore her spiritual root to start cultivating again. Then, the daughter of the Sky Cloud Sect's master would be the first female lead.
Although Xiao Feng was deeply in love with the sect master's daughter before he entered the Sky Cloud Sect, it didn't stop him from being flirtatious with other female supporting characters in the year before he snatched the Heavenly Cauldron Sect.
Chen Muxue couldn't help but shiver as she thought about it. She didn't know how she had read such novels in the past. However, most men in ancient times had harems.
Xiao Feng waited for a long time without receiving a response from the woman in front of him, only to find that she seemed to be in a daze. He couldn't help but frown and remind her, "Young lady?"
Chen Muxue regained her senses and coughed lightly. "I'm the sect master. What's the matter?"
"I'm here to borrow your sect's magical treasure, the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth." Xiao Feng's eyes flickered. The less trouble, the better.
Just when Xiao Feng thought that the other party would reject him, Chen Muxue laughed. "It's just a small matter, so no problem."
Xiao Feng was stunned. He couldn't help but feel that this matter was most likely a trap, but he wouldn't retreat.
He had done his research. Only the sect master, Chen Muxue, was a cultivator, but her spiritual root was only an ordinary mid-grade water spiritual root. There were three children in the sect. One was an abandoned child, and the other two were bought from a human trafficker.
The three children did not have any talent for cultivation. After all, if they did, they would not have been abandoned or sold.
In this world, even those with the lowest grade spirit root had the opportunity to enter some small sects. After all, immortal cultivators didn't care about worldly affairs and often needed some "servants" to do odd jobs and run errands.
He was sent flying by Chen Muxue just now because he was caught off guard. With this thought in mind, Xiao Feng still entered the Heavenly Cauldron Sect.
What a poor sect. They had built a courtyard on a mountain and dared to call themselves a sect. The building could be said to have been in disrepair for a long time, but it was still clean.
"This way, please." Chen Muxue was very polite. After all, she had read novels and knew very well that if the Heavenly Cauldron Sect were to go up against the Sky Cloud Sect, they would have no chance of winning. After all, she was the only one in the entire sect who had a spiritual root, and it was a very ordinary mid-grade water spiritual root.
The Heavenly Cauldron Sect itself was not even ranked in the immortal cultivation world. The original owner had taken over this mess from her father. In the original owner's memory, she had a few senior brothers when she was young. When she took over, she was the only one left to guard this broken gate and a gray cauldron.
The Heavenly Cauldron Sect didn't have much income at all. They didn't even have decent food, let alone elixirs. The original owner of the body had plowed a few acres of land in the sect, picked wild vegetables, and hunted to make a living. It was only when she met the abandoned child, Chen Xiaohu, that she started to adopt a few unwanted children.
Although the original owner couldn't make every child full, at least every child survived, and the Heavenly Cauldron Sect finally had some hope. However, all of this, in the male lead's mouth, was snatching and abusing the children.
Chen Muxue could not help but tighten her grip on the metal wok.
Xiao Feng suddenly felt a murderous aura behind him. He turned around and only saw Chen Muxue's smiling face. He observed her for a while and didn't find anything wrong. He didn't think too much about it and only became more vigilant.
In the main hall, Xiao Feng looked at the large open space, and a small cauldron the size of a palm was all alone in the center. His mouth couldn't help but twitch a few times.
Chen Muxue did not know why the huge Cauldron of Heaven and Earth had suddenly shrunk. She coughed twice and said, "Young hero, this is the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth."
Xiao Feng glanced at her and didn't argue. Whether it was the real Cauldron of Heaven and Earth, he would know once he got it.
He stepped forward and reached out to take the cauldron…
'I can't move it!' Xiao Feng's face turned red after he pulled it a few times. He looked at Chen Muxue and asked with his eyes.
'Does this person have a kidney deficiency?' Chen Muxue was a little speechless. It was excusable that he couldn't carry such a huge cauldron, but now that it was the size of a palm, how could he not be able to carry it? Could he be acting weak?
Xiao Feng could feel Chen Muxue's vigilant gaze on him. His face turned even redder, and a wave of anger rose in his heart. "Sect Master, this..."
'Could it be that he really couldn't carry it?' Chen Muxue came forward with some suspicion and took up a tug-of-war stance. She reached out and took the cauldron. Before she could use her strength, the cauldron felt light. Hence, Chen Muxue, who had accumulated quite a bit of strength, fell on her butt again.
"Are you kidding me?" Chen Muxue got up, holding the cauldron easily in her hand.
Xiao Feng narrowed his eyes. "No, you're tricking me, right?"
"What kind of serious illness does he have?" Chen Muxue mumbled and handed the cauldron over. "Take it and use it as you wish!"
Xiao Feng took it, but in the next second, he felt as if he was holding a huge mountain in his hand. He quickly retracted his hand. If he was any slower, his hand might have been smashed.
"Alright, I knew there was a trap! I'll remember today's humiliation!" Xiao Feng flew into a rage. He flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.
'What trick? What humiliation?' Chen Muxue was a little dumbfounded. She didn't know why Xiao Feng was suddenly so angry. This male lead was probably really sick!
She chased after him, only to see Xiao Feng turn around and snort. "The river flows thirty years east, thirty years west. Don't bully the young for being poor!"
With that, he waved his sleeve, and an unremarkable sword suddenly flew over. Xiao Feng rode the sword and left.
Only Chen Muxue was left in a state of confusion. In the end, he still had to say those words. It seemed that after a year, this man would still come back to kill them.
"Sect Master! I'm picking vegetables. I'm hungry!" Suddenly, an extremely cute voice pulled Chen Muxue back to reality.
Chen Muxue lowered her head and saw a little girl around five years old. The girl had her hair tied up in two small ponytails and was even wearing little pink wildflowers on the ponytails. The little girl looked adorable, but she was not particularly conspicuous because she had changed into the old Taoist clothes of the Heavenly Cauldron Sect and had mud on her face.
Chen Muxue's heart felt stifled. She had neglected Chen Xiaohua!
Xiaohua was rescued by the original villain when she went down the mountain to buy spices not long ago. At that time, she was kidnapped by human traffickers and couldn't stop crying. In order to not attract attention, the human traffickers tried to use sleeping drugs to stop her crying, but the villain found out and saved her.
Originally, she didn't want to keep her, but it had been many days. The original villain not only went to the town to put up a notice, but also went to the authorities to ask. Alas, no one came to take Xiaohua back.
In the book, when the male lead came back, Xiaohua was looking for wild vegetables. He bumped into her, and she ran away. In addition, the male lead only thought that there were three children in the sect, so Xiaohua managed to escape.
When Xiaohua returned to the Heavenly Cauldron Sect and saw the original owner lying on the ground, she was determined to take revenge. In the end, the author with a loose screw actually made her a member of the male lead's harem!
And it was the kind of love that comes after taking things by force! When he snatched it, Xiaohua had just turned eighteen. After the original owner learned of the news, she became even madder.
In the end, when the villain was defeated by the male lead, it was Xiaohua who begged and saved the villain's life.
