After exchanging glances for a moment, the scorpion demon and the snake demon sealed off their surroundings with their demonic energy and said, "Sir, I already know who the other enemy you mentioned is, and they are currently very weak and not worth fearing. As for my wife's sister, I will naturally go and invite her."
"Your Majesty, we have brought the old man here!"
A bat spirit slowly descended from above the cave and threw a huge spider web on the ground, where an old man with white hair struggled incessantly.
The scorpion demon nodded in satisfaction, then instructed the bat demon: "Go quickly to the mountain peak and invite the lady's sister, the Green Snake Demon King. If she refuses to come, tell her three words: Seven Heart Pill."
The bat spirit obeyed the command, flapped its wings, and flew out of the cave. Xu Le admired the scorpion spirit's decisiveness, but asked with a puzzled expression, "Your Majesty, what is the Seven Hearts Pill?"
The scorpion demon froze on the spot, a hint of murderous intent flashing in her eyes, but remembering that the person in front of her was still useful, she stammered, unsure of what to say.
Instead, the snake spirit beside her seemed to know something. She forced a smile and said softly, "Actually, the great enemy you mentioned is the seven gourds. They look ordinary, but they were indeed formed from the thunder of the Heavenly God. They suppressed us for many years and were refined for 9,999 years. Fortunately, a pangolin dug through the mountain and released us. Otherwise, we would have been reduced to ashes in 10,000 years."
As for the Seven-Star Pill, it's just a legend. The legend says that seven gourd brothers, grown from gourd seeds, can be used as ingredients; their seven hearts combined can create the Seven-Star Pill, which grants the user fearlessness. However, since you've seen it, we won't be stingy. When the Seven-Star Pill is finally refined, you'll get a share too.
"Really! This is too precious..." Xu Le repeatedly declined, but inwardly he sneered and warned the snake spirit not to court death for daring to test him.
"That's not right!" Xu Le suddenly said, leaving the scorpion demon and snake demon completely bewildered. They asked, "What's wrong?"
"Since it's the Seven Hearts Pill, it's just a legend. This gourd seems to have been used to suppress you 10,000 years ago. Who knew it could be refined into a pill that would make you fearless after you ate it!"
Since we're going to get involved, let's stir things up thoroughly and each of us rely on our own abilities.

Chapter 155: The Mischievous Plan
Remember me in one second! Fast updates, free to read!
Upon hearing this, the hall fell silent, the atmosphere instantly freezing. The scorpion demon and the snake demon stared at each other, their faces ashen, as if they had realized something suspicious.
The snake spirit suddenly asked, "Your Majesty, how did you know that the Seven Star Pill could be refined?"
The scorpion demon shook her head, her face grim, and said in a hoarse voice, "I've forgotten too. It seems someone told me, but I can't remember who."
The two realized something was wrong and that they had fallen into someone's trap.
The scorpion demon's mind was in a daze. He couldn't remember how he knew about the Seven Star Pill. This gourd had only suppressed them for 10,000 years, but rumors were circulating that eating the Seven Star Pill would grant immortality and make one fearless. There was only one gourd, and it had only been planted recently. So who knew that these seven gourds could be used to refine the Seven Star Pill, and who had tried it and seen the effects?
The scorpion demon had a splitting headache and was trying hard to think about what had happened, but she couldn't figure out who was behind it all. Her tail hook swung with anger, smashing several stone tables.
"Your Majesty, please do not worry, I already have a plan!"
The scorpion demon quickly asked, "What method?"
Xu Le smiled and said, "Refine the Seven Star Pill!"
Upon hearing this, the scorpion demon deflated like a punctured balloon, and said irritably, "What kind of good idea is this? Since this is a trap, we might as well not refine the Seven Star Pill!"
How could Xu Le let him give up? So he continued to explain, “Why should Your Majesty worry? Since this person wants you to refine the Seven Star Pill but doesn’t dare to do it himself, I released you through a series of plans and arranged for you to make the pill. This shows that he can’t do it himself for some reason, which also shows that the Seven Star Pill is definitely not an ordinary thing. So why don’t we play along?”
"A counter-plan? How exactly?" The scorpion demon became interested and pricked up her ears to listen.
“This Seven Star Pill must be refined, but since that person is so wary, there must be danger involved. Since the lady’s sister is so powerful, why not let her make the first move, and you can assist from the sidelines? That way, no matter how much that guy schemes, he won’t be able to forcibly take it. Moreover, even if there is danger, the lady’s sister will be the one who contributes the most, so she will naturally bear the danger first, and Your Majesty will have time to react.”
As Xu Le spoke, he used the Spirit Ranking to incite...
The snake spirit standing to the side also became somewhat curious, but thinking that her life and death were now in the hands of this man, and that her husband was being completely manipulated by him, she could not cry out.
Xu Le felt the snake spirit's pain, but instead of feeling any pity, he felt even more pleased. "Since the lady's sister has such powerful magic, why don't we let her take the lead? If she successfully turns the gourd brothers into Seven Star Pills, she will naturally suffer some losses. Then Your Majesty can find a way to steal them or share them with her."
The scorpion demon clapped and cheered, finding Xu Le increasingly pleasing to the eye, but failed to notice that the snake demon beside her was turning increasingly red.
Xu Le said loudly, "Why doesn't Your Majesty go find the Lady's sister now and invite her back? After all, we should try to be courteous before resorting to force, and we still need her to lead the charge!"
The scorpion demon nodded, preparing to personally go to the green snake demon later to dispel the black demonic energy.
Xu Le watched as the pieces began to move in the directions he had set with the slightest ripple. This feeling of control was extremely interesting. Compared to the meticulous and ruthless layout in the Ruthless state, his own layout, although full of flaws, was still a very interesting thing to watch these guys enter the game.
Sometimes the fun of setting up a game lies not in its success, but in watching the pieces struggle in the game. However, this time Xu Le is determined to get the Seven Star Pill, so he is being more cautious.
At this moment, the old man on the ground let out a muffled groan, slowly opened his eyes, and looked at the dim surroundings and the stone walls and caves, realizing that he had gone deep into the monster's lair.
At that moment, he also saw the fierce-looking scorpion demon and the beautiful snake demon who was half human and half snake, and it seemed that there was also a handsome human man talking to them.
"Run! They're monsters!" The old man's sense of justice surged, and he struggled desperately in the net, trying to stop the monsters so that Xu Le could escape.
"Hahahaha..." The scorpion demon laughed so hard she almost fell over, her tail hook trembling behind her. The snake demon couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
Xu Le watched him with great interest. He found that the old man's thinking was normal, that of an ordinary person, but his soul had a problem. It was like a disguise, but the owner of the disguise had not yet arrived, so the original consciousness had taken over.
However, this is just Xu Le's guess, and we'll have to wait for him to come forward before we can draw any conclusions.
Looking at the monsters and Xu's calm expression, the old man realized that this person was not an ordinary human and was likely in league with the monsters.
The old man trembled with anger, his finger shaking as he pointed at Xu Le, saying with exasperation, "How could you associate with monsters? You're a human!"
Compared to the old man's shock, Xu Le suddenly had a strange idea: what would happen if the scorpion demon ate him?
After all, although that consciousness was strong, it didn't seem to be awake. It seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep for some reason. Otherwise, Xu Le wouldn't have been able to analyze the old man's body so easily.
Xu Le suddenly wanted to see if the old man's power would erupt if they faced a life-or-death crisis. Originally, the old man was not Xu Le's target, but what he contained made him curious.
"Your Majesty, perhaps..."
