Chapter 36: Long Aotian, the Abandoned Son of a Wealthy Family
With the help of the pure energy of the Tiansi Dream Silkworm, Pei Yichen's momentum rose steadily, and he soon stepped past the middle stage of foundation building and was approaching the late stage. However, Pei Yichen did not choose to break through. He suppressed the surging spiritual power, stabilized his cultivation at the middle stage of foundation building, and slowly opened a pair of bright starry eyes.
Seeing this, Old Du nodded with satisfaction. It was good that he was not dazzled by the surging spiritual power. Before the Golden Elixir stage, all the work was done to lay the foundation for the Great Dao. The more solid the cultivation at this time, the better. Otherwise, in the later stages, it would be like a castle in the air and it would be difficult to make any progress.
Seeing Pei Yichen successfully advance, Wu Lingnan breathed a sigh of relief. She withdrew the spiritual power that was protecting Pei Yichen, and her delicate nose wrinkled slightly. She said disdainfully, "Exposing your chest and abdomen is disrespectful. I didn't expect you to be so open-minded."
However, there really is a man with eight-pack abs. Wu Lingnan took another look secretly. This was the first time she saw a handsome man with real eight-pack abs. As for Xiang Gucheng, haha, he was just a boiled chicken.
Pei Yichen's face turned dark, and he quickly took out a black coat from his storage ring and put it on. He thanked awkwardly: "Thank you, but what did you just give me to eat?" The soft thing seemed to be still squirming, and he really had a bad premonition.
Wu Lingnan waved her hand carelessly, indicating that she didn't need to thank him. After all, since he was awake, she had to work to pay off her debt. Mother said that girls from Miaojiang must not suffer any loss. She smiled generously and brilliantly: "It's nothing, just a silkworm worth thousands or tens of thousands." Pay the medical bills!
Pei Yichen selectively ignored the words "tens of millions" and focused on the modified noun. He asked again, trembling, incredulous: "You, you said you gave me food, it was, it was a bug?"
Wu Lingnan frowned, sensing something was amiss. Unhappy and bewildered, she angrily replied, "It's the Heavenly Silk Dream Silkworm, a treasure from our Miao region worth tens of millions!" It's not some kind of insect!
That's still a bug!
Pei Yichen's eyes went dark as he imagined a fat white worm wriggling in his throat. He suddenly felt nauseous and began to pinch his neck hard to try to spit the thing out. However, the silkworm that had already transformed into pure spiritual power and integrated into its body could no longer be a silkworm. His attempt failed and he began to despair.
I just swallowed a live worm. It was alive, moving, and soft. It was the worm he feared the most!
Bang--
Unable to bear such a blow, Pei Yichen closed his eyes and fainted.
Wu Lingnan:
No, buddy, I just ate a fat silkworm, isn't that a big blow to you? Let's not talk about spiritual power, my silkworm is rich in protein and very nutritious. Why do you despise it? Let me tell you, it is worth much more than you!
Wu Lingnan squatted down, picked up a branch and poked Pei Yichen's handsome face, confirming that he really fainted and was not pretending to avoid paying medical bills. Very puzzled, he looked up and asked Xiang Gucheng sincerely: "Is eating insects really so unacceptable?"
Xiang Gucheng shook his head in confusion. He didn't know. He thought it was nothing. The men from Miaojiang and Xiangxi would swallow some poisonous things raw to train their ability to resist poison.
Wu Lingnan and Xiang Gucheng looked at each other and sighed deeply. People from the Central Plains are really hard to understand.
Bai Wanyan, who was watching everything nearby:...My mother is right, people from Miaojiang and Xiangxi, regardless of gender, all have some serious illnesses.
She showed deep sympathy towards Pei Yichen who was lying on the ground.
The cold moonlight seeped in through the gaps between the leaves and sprinkled on Pei Yichen's face. His eyelids moved and opened, and there was no confusion in his dark pupils. He turned over, gripped his weapon tightly, and looked around vigilantly, but saw Wu Lingnan, Xiang Gucheng and Bai Wanyan's three pairs of eyes looking at him, and in front of them, the smoke from the fire was rising.
Wu Lingnan said quietly, "Oh, one of our sleeping beauties has finally woken up. Come, have some soup to warm yourself up."
Pei Yichen was bewildered. He watched Wu Lingnan lift the lid of the bubbling iron pot above the flames, smile with satisfaction, take a bowl in one hand and a spoon in the other, add a large bowl of soup, and bring it to him affectionately, looking at him with an inexplicably kind look: "Drink it." Dalang, it's time to take your medicine.
Pei Yichen's eyes fell on the bowl of soup. He saw that the dark purple liquid was still boiling and bubbling, with scorpions, spiders and even limbs of unknown animals floating up and down on it. His sexy Adam's apple rolled slightly and he swallowed deeply.
I must still be dreaming, hurry up and wake up!
Pei Yichen closed his eyes again and fainted again. Well, he didn't faint this time. He opened his eyes in horror. Wasn't this a dream?
Seeing Pei Yichen's disappointing performance, Wu Lingnan curled her lips in disdain: "Forget it, I won't tease you anymore." She simply raised her hand and drank the bowl of poisonous soup heroically. After finishing, she even licked her lips, thinking regretfully: Tsk, it's still not as spicy as the one in my hometown. This poison is too unpleasant.
Bai Wanyan chuckled and found the scene quite amusing. She didn't expect that this cold boy could still show a slightly different expression.
Pei Yichen put away his sword and followed Wu Lingnan to sit cross-legged around the fire. He was very confused by the happy scene in front of him. He remembered that before he fell into a coma, Bai Wanyan was still a prisoner of Wu Lingnan's side.
Bai Wanyan threw a coquettish glance at Pei Yichen, and seeing that Pei Yichen was looking at her nose and her heart, unmoved, she felt itchy in her heart. As a half-vixen, her instinct to conquer men was ready to act. As for the other equally indifferent man, Xiang Gucheng, she felt weak the moment she thought that he was a man from western Hunan.
Xiang Gucheng's tall nose bridge twitched, and he controlled himself with great willpower. Damn it, who is slandering me? The person he suspected flashed through his mind, and he finally gave up because there were too many possible people.
Unaware of the commotion among the people around her, Wu Lingnan poked the fire with a branch, added some more firewood, and sincerely invited Pei Yichen, "How about joining us? The maximum number of people in a team is five, and we can form a team." She raised her chin towards Bai Wanyan, "She has agreed to join." It must be said that she was very aware of the current situation. In fact, it was she who came up with the idea, and she was very enthusiastic in promoting herself.
Pei Yichen frowned and wanted to refuse: "Sorry, forget it." He was more accustomed to the lone wolf's way of acting.
Xiang Gucheng twitched the corner of his mouth, revealing a hint of sneer, and his eyes were very unfriendly. "Boy, you'd better think it over carefully. Now it's three against one. Don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit."
Wu Lingnan nudged Xiang Gucheng with her elbow and looked at him with a reproachful look: Don't try to use force, we are civilized people, let her do it.
She just smiled lightly and said calmly: "In that case, then, pay me back. The market value of my dream silkworm starts at 50 million, and I won't charge you more. 50 million, we're even."
Pei Yichen immediately took a deep breath, his pupils dilated slightly. He couldn't get 50 million even if he sold everything. He was penniless now. For this freshman trial competition, let alone 50 million, he couldn't even come up with 500 yuan in a short time.
Wu Lingnan narrowed his eyes, confident of victory: "You are not trying to default on your debt, are you?"
Pei Yichen was not so shameless as to say so. In fact, it was quite the opposite. As the young master of a wealthy family, he had a sense of pride in his heart. Moreover, this was his life-saving money. He closed his eyes and raised the white flag, indicating that he was 100% willing to join Wu Lingnan's team.
Awesome, she is worthy of being his junior sister. Xiang Gucheng secretly gave Wu Lingnan a thumbs up. He thought that he had to beat up this arrogant boy so that he could face the reality. For some reason, he disliked this boy.
"Then what should we do next? Do you have any plan?" Pei Yichen felt like he was on a pirate ship and felt exhausted.
"Are you going to make a big deal out of this?" Wu Lingnan blinked and gave Bai Wanyan a look, indicating that she should explain.
Bai Wanyan straightened her body, suppressing her excitement of wanting to transform into ears and a tail. She smiled reservedly and meaningfully: "Don't you think that earning points this way is too slow? Instead of working hard yourself, why not rob others?"
"So..." Pei Yichen raised his eyebrows with interest.
"Let's catch all the new and old students in one fell swoop." Bai Wanyan smiled evilly, and finally revealed her true colors.
Pei Yichen suddenly felt that it wasn't so difficult to get on the pirate ship, but he still asked cautiously: "So what are you going to do?"
"It's not you, it's us," Wu Lingnan corrected. She extended her index finger and pointed at the seven or eight people who were still unconscious in the distance. "We're relying on them to help us pass on the message. Charming people is their specialty."
Bai Wanyan straightened her chest and raised the corners of her mouth wildly.
Pei Yichen was confused. He said in confusion: "No, then why did you come to me for them? And how did you find me?"
Bai Wanyan smiled shyly, "Oh, cannon fodder to explore the way? I never thought too much. As for why I looked for you, you are from a wealthy family with a lot of points. I am very jealous. It's just a little trick of the fox tribe."
Wu Lingnan propped up her head with one hand and directly exposed Bai Wanyan's little trick: "The tracking incense she used is inaudible to ordinary people, but for foxes whose sense of smell is much more developed than humans, this scent is very obvious."
Pei Yichen: ...
He realized that none of the women out there are easy to mess with!
The teachers watching the freshman trial competition from behind high-tech platforms looked at each other in confusion. One young man asked, "Isn't it unfair to the other students to have four Huachen College freshmen on one team?"
Another man, who was sitting slouched with his legs crossed, sneered at the words, "The rules don't say that Huaqing College students can't team up together. Besides, when you enter society, who will tell you whether it's fair or not?"
The young man was quite indignant. Before he could object, the old man with a long beard sitting above him made the final decision: "Since it is within the scope of the rules, it is not a violation. I remember that Huachen only accepted five new students this year, the lowest number ever."
The man to the old man's left replied respectfully, "Yes, Master Ye, we originally planned to find one or two good candidates to join Huachen during this freshman trial."
"Okay, okay." The old man stroked his long beard with a smile, and his wise eyes fell on Pei Yichen. The Purple Spirit Flame, even if it was only ranked 51st on the list of strange fires, was not something that a kid in the Foundation Establishment Stage could easily subdue. Well, well, everyone has his own opportunity. They, Huaqing, only need to do their job well - to continuously cultivate talents for Daxia.
He looked at Pei Yichen and the others one by one, and sighed: They are all good kids, and they are the future pillars of our Daxia.
【Author’s words】
Zhuge Yu: Have you forgotten me?
Bai Wanyan: "Since we're a team, can you give me back half of my points?"
Xiang Gucheng rolled his eyes without any hesitation: "You wish. Let's put things in perspective. It's impossible." Except for his junior sister and master, no one can get anything out of his hands, okay?
Thank you very much for your support. I will continue to work hard!
