The old coot hehe-ed with another strange laugh,
"Girl, seeing how quick-witted you are, this Daoist will indulge you with a few more words. I had originally planned to attack you as soon as you got close, taking you out first. I didn't expect you to actually burn those flying spiders in that cave... Those creatures are slightly poisonous, and once burned, the dense smoke they release can corrode a person's soul, leaving me no choice but to come out!"
So... being meddlesome does have its benefits?
Gu Shi Yi nodded as she listened,
"I see..."
As she spoke, she took out several elixirs, one by one, and began pouring them into her mouth. The old coot narrowed his eyes as he watched,
"Girl, you actually have so many elixirs?"
Gu Shi Yi smiled and said,
"All your prattle was just to buy time to recover your mana, wasn't it?"
