Chapter Twenty-Two: No Disdain



“Bottleneck, that is a problem. I’ve already reached the Heavenly level. As long as I pass the Heavenly Tribulation, I can level up.” Nangong Ziyan stopped eating beef jerky. She wasn’t encountering a bottleneck, but rather she was afraid to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation. She was afraid that if she were struck by that lightning, she would lose her life, and her soul might even be sent back to the 21st century. She had just fallen in love with this world, and she couldn’t let herself be sent back to the 21st century just to level up her cultivation.

"Here you go." Nangong Ziyan readily handed the beef jerky to Tian Nanxing. A plate of beef jerky for the price of a chef was a steal.

Tian Nanxing quickly made the beef jerky and ate it in big bites.

"Mmm! Little girl, this is really delicious. I never knew beef could be made so delicious. This is the first time I've ever tasted anything like it!" Tian Nanxing praised it endlessly. It was worth it to gain an apprentice for a plate of beef jerky.

Bei Ming Haotian sat quietly to one side, a charming smile playing on his lips. It was perfect that Yan'er had Tian Nanxing as her master. As for spiritual arts, he would teach her.

Soon, Tian Nanxing finished the plate of beef jerky, and saw that Nangong Ziyan looked like she still wanted to eat more.

Nangong Ziyan stared dumbfounded at the empty plate. Even excluding what she ate, there was at least a kilogram of beef jerky left! All gone in just a short time. Was it easy for her to roast beef jerky? She glanced at Tian Nanxing, then at Bei Ming Haotian, and muttered to herself, "Good heavens! What kind of people have I run into! At the speed at which they devour everything, they'll be bankrupt in ten days. These two are like the saying, 'If you eat spicy food, they'll give you chili peppers; if you eat sweet food, they'll give you egg drop soup.' They're just playing to their tastes! It's best we go our separate ways!" Nangong Ziyan made her decision without thinking. It wasn't that she was stingy; she simply had many places to go.

Even though Nangong Ziyan spoke in a low voice, Beiming Haotian and Tian Nanxing still heard her. They exchanged a glance, and Beiming Haotian instantly moved to Nangong Ziyan's side.

"You can't just go your separate ways. You still owe me your life."

"Ah!" The sudden sound startled Nangong Ziyan, who quickly turned around and bumped right into Beiming Haotian's arms.

Her soft body and intoxicating fragrance instantly captivated Bei Minghaotian.

Hearing Bei Ming Haotian's strong and powerful heartbeat and feeling his masculine aura, Nangong Ziyan felt her face burning.

Nangong Ziyan lowered her head, pushed Beiming Haotian away, and took a deep breath. Her heart felt like it was about to jump out of her chest.

The sudden emptiness in his arms made Bei Ming Haotian's heart feel empty as well, as if something had been hollowed out, causing him great discomfort. He desperately wanted to grasp that fleeting, beautiful feeling.

"A hundred steps after a meal can help you live to ninety-nine. I... I've eaten too much. I'm going out for a walk." Nangong Ziyan quickly turned around and walked into the woods.

Tian Nanxing looked at Bei Ming's back, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes!

"Kid, judging from your expression, you seem to have fallen for that girl?"

"Is that not allowed?" Ouyang Tianyi asked back.

"Great, great, great! I thought you never wanted to get married in your life! Tian'er, this is the right thing to do. That girl is very kind-hearted. If..."

"Master Nanxing, she didn't look down on Tian'er." Bei Ming Haotian, abandoning his previous wicked and playful demeanor, said with a serious and excited expression.
