Chapter 97
The melon-eating system bewitched, [Host, don’t you think this love contract is very useful? 】
[In times of crisis, we will be called upon at any time.] 】
[It’s romantic.] 】
Ning Shu: ...
As far as Ning Xu knew, a cultivator could only form a bond of love with one person in his lifetime. If he wanted to terminate the contract, he would have to pay a considerable price, such as a reduction in his cultivation level and damage to his Taoism... Therefore, forming a bond of love was something that required careful consideration and was not something that could be decided rashly on impulse.
For most monks, after forming a bond of love, if one day the two decide to separate, the bond will not be dissolved.
Because the price to pay for breaking the bond is too high.
For example, the Lord of Furong City in front of her did not break up the emotional bond with her ex.
[Host, it is not difficult to make a bond. It is very simple and can be done in three minutes. Don’t you really want to consider it? 】
Ning Shu’s answer is—
"Pass."
Let’s just get straight to the point.
Melon-eating system, [Okay. 】
Because of the melon-eating system's jokes, the tense atmosphere at the scene dissipated a lot.
The battle outside the City Lord's Mansion is still going on. With the joining of the City Lord's ex-lover, the victory is beginning to tilt towards the City Lord's Mansion. When the demons saw that the Lord of Furong City had helpers, they weighed the pros and cons and decided to withdraw first.
Before leaving, the other party did not forget to say something cruel, "This matter is not over yet!"
After the demons left, the city lord's ex-love did not stay long. Without saying a word, he escaped directly by relying on his magical power of transformation.
After the danger was over, Hui Niang dragged her weak legs and hurriedly walked towards the city lord, "Mom!"
The city lord glanced at her and said, "You still remember to come back?" After that, she fed a few top-grade rejuvenation pills into her mouth.
Ning Xu and Si Yan also followed Hui Niang forward.
The melon-eating system is still recalling the scene just now, [Tsk tsk tsk, that guy just now, he didn't have to come. After all, the love contract only made him realize that the city lord was in trouble. Whether to come or not, the choice is still in his hands.
But when he realized that the city lord was dying, he teleported here without thinking twice using the love contract. After the matter was resolved, he left without saying a word, leaving this place to the city lord and her daughter. 】
Ning Xu became more interested and asked a crucial question, "Does the guy just now have a Taoist partner?"
【not yet. 】
[But the emotions of human cultivators are really too complicated. 】
Ning Shu, "What do you mean?"
The melon-eating system explained that, “Based on the data detection, he doesn’t seem to have forgotten his old feelings for the city lord, because his heart rate index has been very stable and has not increased at all. But he still chose to rescue her at the first opportunity. 】
What is this? 】
There was too little useful information, and Ning Xu couldn't analyze what the great man who had just reached the state of spiritual transformation was thinking. Maybe it's because of old friendship, or maybe it's for some other reason.
But no matter what, it can be seen that this powerful man is extremely sensible.
After all, the city lord already has a Taoist partner. After the crisis is resolved, it would not be appropriate for him to stay here any longer.
While Hui Niang and the city lord were reminiscing about the past, Ning Xu asked, "Where is the city lord's Taoist partner?"
[In seclusion.] 】
What is this? At such a critical moment, the current boyfriend is in seclusion and the ex comes to the rescue.
Is this multiple predecessors, one more path?
While Ning Shu was chatting with the melon-eating system, the Lord of Furong City slowly turned the topic to them.
"Who are these two?"
Hui Niang took the initiative to introduce them, "Mother! They are my benefactors!"
benefactor?
The city lord frowned slightly, revealing a bit of pressure. "What's wrong with you? What happened?"
Hui Niang didn't mention it, she just said, "Mom, let's go inside and talk about it."
-
The City Lord's Mansion of Furong City is decorated extremely exquisitely and elegantly. It can be seen that the City Lord is a cultivator with great taste.
The servants in the City Lord's Mansion are also very well-behaved.
As soon as Ning Xu and Chun Qing Xiu Gou sat down, servants brought them fresh spiritual fruits, snacks, and refreshing spiritual tea. They walked forward quietly, delivered the spiritual fruits and ordered spiritual tea, and then left quietly without making any sound the whole time. It was quiet and orderly.
The city lord glanced at Hui Niang and said to Ning Xu, "My two Taoist friends, I want to talk to my daughter first. Please go ahead."
After saying that, the city lord took Hui Niang away temporarily.
After the City Lord and Hui Niang left, Ning Xu started to taste the snacks in the City Lord's Mansion. It was so pleasant to take a sip of spiritual tea and a bite of snack.
That's it...
She said to the melon-eating system, "The spiritual tea and spiritual fruit are OK, but the snacks are not as delicious as those made by Chunqing Xiugou."
[Right?] These spiritual teas and fruits have no gold content at all. They are all artificially grown, and the spiritual energy content is just so-so. The gold content of snacks is much higher. 】
After saying that, the melon-eating system began to talk, [The spiritual tea and spiritual fruit nowadays are all inferior products and not worth mentioning. 】
Ning Xu was more interested, "Are there no top-quality products?"
【No. Many of the best and finest goods have become extinct. 】
[However, these inferior goods in my eyes are now high-quality goods in the eyes of the great cultivators. 】
[There's nothing we can do about it. It's their fault that they have so little knowledge.] 】
Very good, it’s still the familiar spectator system, used to pulling down and belittling others.
Although the melon-eating system said that these were inferior goods, Ning Xu still tasted them very carefully.
The best stuff is extinct, these are the best now.
While she was drinking the spiritual tea, Chunqing Xiu Gou took out two plates of snacks from his storage bag.
One of the desserts was made in the shape of a lotus root, and the other was in the shape of a lucky cat.
Each dessert is made exquisitely and cutely.
Chunqing Xiu Gou introduced them one by one, "The 'lotus root' is stuffed with black tea taro paste, and the lucky cat is stuffed with purple sweet potato."
Naturally, Ning Shu told Chun Qing Xiu Gou about the taro paste and the lucky cat. I didn't expect that he would apply the elements she mentioned to the snacks so quickly.
Ning Xu picked up a piece of "lotus root" and took a bite. The refreshing taste of black tea combined with the sweetness of taro paste gave her an unfamiliar taste.
Although it was her first time trying it, she already fell in love with the taste.
I can only say that he is worthy of being called a pure and innocent Xiu Gou.
After eating the "lotus root", Ning Xu ate a "lucky cat". When she finished eating two pieces of dessert, the servants of the City Lord's Mansion came to inform them that the City Lord had no time to entertain them today and asked them to settle down first.
Ning Xu and Chunqing Xiu Gou naturally had no objections.
The city lord arranged two guest rooms for them. The rooms were simply furnished, but had all the necessary daily necessities.
The servant took them to the guest room and then left.
Ning Xu did not go back to her room by herself, but followed Chunqing Xiu Gou into his room.
This was the first time the two of them were alone in a room. Ning Xu didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but after seeing Chunqing Xiu Gou's slightly moist eyes, she inexplicably felt that the room seemed a little small.
The melon-eating system laughed slyly, [Okay, okay. 】
Ning Shu coughed lightly, ignored the melon-eating system, and just said to Chunqing Xiu, "Hatch the eggs."
Chunqing Xiu Gou took the "dead egg" out of the spirit beast bag.
If the melon-eating system hadn't said that the egg was alive, Ning Xu would really have thought that the egg had completely lost its vitality. According to the melon-eating system, this is a self-protection method used by rare spiritual beasts. They restrain their light and disguise themselves as ordinary spiritual beast eggs to avoid the covetousness of others.
Ning Xu said, "Although it looks like it's dead, how can we know if we don't try?"
"Why don't you give it a try by dropping a drop of your blood? Maybe it can be saved that way?"
Pure love Xiu Gou, "Okay."
He cut his fingertips without hesitation.
A drop of blood slowly dripped onto the surface of the eggshell.
The next second, the originally gray egg seemed to shed its dark coat, revealing its original color.
It turned out to be a golden egg with gorgeous and ancient patterns on it!
Ning Xu looked at the egg carefully.
"Gold? Could it be a phoenix?"
Chunqing Xiu Gou carefully sensed it and shook his head, "Probably not."
After dripping blood, Chunqing Xiu Gou not only successfully brought the egg back to life, but also signed a master-servant contract with it.
He could vaguely sense the creature in the egg, but he was not sure what kind of spiritual beast it was.
There is expectation only when there is unknown.
Ning Xu said, "Then you should incubate it well. When it is born, you will know what kind of spiritual beast it is."
Pure Love Xiu Gou smiled slightly, "Okay."
The melon-eating system, [male mother, hehehe, gentle male mother. 】
Ning Shu: ...
-
The next day, the city lord finally had time to personally entertain Ning Xu and Chun Qing Xiu Gou.
Although she has held a high position for a long time, she is very friendly and amiable.
"You helping Hui Niang is equivalent to helping the City Lord's Mansion."
"Whatever you want, I will agree to it as long as the conditions permit."
Ning Xu had already discussed with the melon-eating system what was needed.
After hearing what the city lord said, she did not hesitate and said directly, "I want to use the secret passage in your house."
The city lord was not surprised that Ning Xu knew there was a secret passage in the city lord's mansion.
The demon tribe before also came for this secret passage. I don't know where they got the news from.
Considering the favor they had done for Hui Niang, she reminded them, “The City Lord’s Mansion does have a secret passage that leads to the interior of the Endless Sea, or even directly to the seashore.”
"But there are no good things near this secret passage."
"If you go far away from the secret passage to search for treasure, you may be in danger with your current cultivation level."
After hearing this, the melon-eating system complained disapprovingly, "There are so many good things." 】
[That's right, real treasures are not so easy to find, they are very good at camouflage. 】
[Perhaps an ordinary dry grass at your feet is the leaf of enlightenment. 】
[But you are not blessed enough to know that, you will just think that it is dead grass. 】
【But I am different. 】
[No matter how carefully the treasure is disguised, I can see through its true nature at a glance! 】
[These treasures belong to my host, host, don’t you think so? 】
Ning Shu coughed lightly.
Saying this in front of the City Lord's Mansion... Even though the City Lord couldn't hear it, Ning Xu still felt it was too Versailles.
She replied, "It's okay, this trip is just for experience."
In other words, they were not going for the treasures around the secret passage.
As for whether the city lord believes it or not, that is up to him.
Since she said so, the city lord naturally would not try to persuade her any further. She just said, "Regarding the secret passage, you need to swear an oath to the heavens not to spread this matter."
This is as it should be. Ning Xu and Chunqing Xiu Gou both swore the Heavenly Oath at the first opportunity. After the oath was established, both parties confirmed the time to enter the secret passage, which was the next day.
-
On the day of departure, the city lord did not show up, and Hui Niang led them to the secret passage.
"The interior of the Endless Sea is particularly dangerous. Even though my mother is at the initial stage of Spiritualization, she doesn't go there very often."
"You must be more careful on this trip."
Ning Xu clasped his fists and said, "Thanks for the reminder."
Hui Niang reluctantly said, "See you next time."
Ning Shu, "See you next time."
After saying goodbye, Ning Xu and Chun Qing Xiu Gou walked into the secret passage and went deeper into the Endless Sea.
-
In the secret passage built by the City Lord's Mansion, there is a luminous pearl every ten steps. The luminous pearls emit bright light, dispelling the darkness and depression in the secret passage.
The melon-eating system rubbed its hands excitedly, [Baby, here we come! 】
Affected by the melon-eating system, Ning Xu couldn't help but feel a little excited.
After walking for about three hours, the melon-eating system said, "You can go out now, host. There is no danger from monsters around the secret passage for the time being. Just be careful of the poisonous herbs. Remember to take high-quality detoxification pills in advance."
Just follow my instructions later.
Also, three meters away from the secret passage, there are two Wudao leaves. When picking them, be sure to pull up the roots as well. Eat them directly after picking them, including the roots and leaves. You don't need to wait for them to return to their original shape, just take them directly.
This time, we made a lot of money! Just let others envy you, hehehe. 】
Ning Xu remembered the key points of the melon-eating system one by one, and said, "Okay."
After saying that, she looked at the pure love Xiu Gou beside her and said, "After we go out, I will pick two plants. You take one and I take one. After picking them, we will eat them directly, including the roots and leaves. Do you understand?"
Chunqing Xiu Gou was slightly stunned, then said softly, "I understand."
Enlightenment leaves are a good thing that everyone knows about.
Such a treasure would be beneficial even to mortals, let alone monks.
There is no limit to the number of Enlightenment Leaves a cultivator can take in his lifetime. As long as he can find Enlightenment Leaves, he can take them no matter how many. As for how much he can digest, it depends on the cultivator's own qualifications. In theory, the more Enlightenment Leaves a cultivator takes, the more benefits he or she will get.
Ning Xu could have chosen to take one of these two Enlightenment Leaves, but she still chose to give him one...
Ning Xu himself didn't think there was anything wrong with giving a leaf of enlightenment to Chunqing Xiugou.
Chunqing Xiu Gou cooks three meals a day for her according to her taste, rain or shine, without ever taking a break, which is very hard work.
She had never paid Chun Qing Xiu Gou a salary, so it was only right for her to give him a bonus occasionally.
Even between partners, a long-lasting relationship can only be achieved if there is give and take.
-
After leaving the secret passage, Ning Xu followed the instructions of the melon-eating system, took a detour, walked three meters, and directly picked two enlightenment leaves. She threw one to Chunqing Xiu Gou, and then directly swallowed the one in her hand.
Chunqing Xiu Gou followed closely behind and also ate this extremely ordinary-looking dead grass.
The two of them consumed the Enlightenment Leaves extremely quickly, so that the leaves did not emit any unique smell that would attract monsters.
After eating a Wudao leaf, Ning Xu felt it carefully, but didn't feel anything.
She asked the melon-eating system, "Why is there no special reaction?"
The melon-eating system explained, "The Enlightenment Leaf is not the kind of treasure that gives immediate feedback after being taken. 】
[It will play its role little by little over a long period of time in the future. 】
[This influence is subtle, profound and long-lasting. And this is exactly where it is most valuable. 】
Ning Xu understood.
She had no reaction after taking the Enlightenment Leaf, but Chunqing Xiu Gou had a huge reaction.
Not long after taking the Enlightenment Leaf, Chunqing Xiu Gou's face turned pale instantly, and cold sweat slid down his face. Although he did not show anything on his face, Ning Xu sensed something from his breath.
"Si Yan!"
Ning Xu held Chunqing Xiugou and asked, "What happened to you? Are you okay now?"
At this moment, Si Yan's entire body seemed to be torn apart by several forces, as if he was about to be split in half. He endured the severe pain and said, "I... am fine."
Is this what you call nothing?
Ning Xu asked the melon-eating system, "What happened to him? Why did he have such a severe reaction after taking the Enlightenment Leaf?"
After a few seconds of silence, the melon-eating system spoke, [It’s not because of Wudao Ye. 】
"That's why!"
Because she was worried about Chunqing Xiugou's situation, Ning Xu's tone was filled with anxiety and impatience.
The melon-eating system remained silent even longer this time.
It was so long that Ning Xu thought it would not answer, then it opened its mouth again to explain, "This is the place where Chunqing Xiugou died in his previous life. 】
[This was also the place where he lost his natural sword bones in his previous life.] 】
【Perhaps due to the influence of the magnetic field, he once again experienced the pain he had experienced in his previous life. 】
