He didn't know how much time had passed when Jiang Yuan vaguely saw his Spirit Awakening progress stuck at 999 per thousand. He chuckled to himself and murmured, "Am I dreaming?"
"Jiang Yuan, are you awake?" Ning Yanlan's voice rang in my ears.
Jiang Yuan calmed himself down and then noticed Ning Yanlan carrying him on her back. With a thought, he saw his progress in awakening his spirit.
"Wow, am I dreaming?" Jiang Yuan exclaimed in surprise.
"What's wrong?" Ning Yanlan asked.
"I'm still a little short of awakening my spirit!" Jiang Yuan had briefly mentioned the matter of awakening the spirit to Ning Yanlan before, so he didn't hide the fact that he had reached 999 per thousand from her.
"That's because it hasn't been awakened yet!" Ning Yanlan joked.
"Put me down and walk by yourself!" Jiang Yuan patted Ning Yanlan on the shoulder.
"Are you sure you can do it? Don't push yourself if you can't. I'm quite strong, carrying you shouldn't be a problem!" Ning Yanlan stopped walking, but turned her head to speak seriously.
"Not that delicate!" Jiang Yuan smiled, got down and started walking. He looked around and realized that it was no longer the place where he had killed the mother black-horned boar.
"What are you looking at?" Ning Yanlan asked with a smile, knowing that Jiang Yuan was looking for the black-horned boar.
Jiang Yuan then asked with a hint of anticipation, "Yanlan, did that black-horned boar get its core?"
"Hmm!" Ning Yanlan said casually, then added, "It exploded! But I threw it away!"
Jiang Yuan's expression showed surprise. He said, "Why would we throw it away? We risked our lives for that thing!"
"It's precisely because you risked your life for this that I'm going to throw it away!" Ning Yanlan said with displeasure. "How can I take something you risked your life for? Wouldn't that be encouraging you to not cherish life in the future?"
"Oh dear, Yanlan, when did you become so particular?" Jiang Yuan said with a wry smile.
“You’re gambling with your life. Once you start gambling, you’ll get addicted!” Ning Yanlan stared into Jiang Yuan’s eyes, as if trying to see through them to his inner thoughts.
"Where is that black-horned pig? Let's go back and look for it. Maybe it hasn't been picked up yet!" Jiang Yuan said, turning to go back.
"Wait!" Ning Yanlan closed her eyes, then reached out her hand. "I'll take the stuff, but you have to promise me you won't take any more risks next time!"
"What's wrong! Are you angry?" Jiang Yuan didn't immediately take the things, but instead comforted Ning Yanlan after noticing the change in her expression.
"You left me in these mountains to kill a level seven monster, and it took me half an hour just to find you. Do you know how scared I was?" Ning Yanlan's eyes were filled with tears. "And now we're lost. Tell me, am I not angry!"
"Yanlan, are you alright?" Jiang Yuan realized he had acted impulsively and stepped forward to hug Ning Yanlan.
Ning Yanlan remained silent, and Jiang Yuan continued, "So what if we're lost? We'll definitely find our way out if we walk slowly!"
"But what about Xiaoxin? She'll be scared if she doesn't see us!" Ning Yanlan said worriedly.
"It's alright, Zhu Penghai and the others are taking care of it!" Jiang Yuan immediately reassured him.
Ning Yanlan sighed deeply, "I should have known better than to go find water to change your clothes!"
"Huh?" Jiang Yuan only then realized that his clothes had been changed. "You changed them?"
Because when the Black Horned Boar exploded on the spot, its blood splattered all over him, but now he was clean, it was obvious who was so kind.
"Otherwise what? When I got there, you were lying face down in blood. I could only drag you to a pool and wash you!" Ning Yanlan said irritably.
"Dragged?" Jiang Yuan's attention was entirely focused on the dragging. How much must he dislike me to drag me all the way to the pool?
Ning Yanlan rolled her eyes at him and continued, "After I washed you and changed your clothes, I couldn't find my way back. I was thinking that if I walked down the mountain, I could eventually find my way out, but I've been walking for three hours and I still haven't reached the foot of the mountain!"
If we hadn't gone to find water for Jiang Yuan, we could have easily followed the tracks left by the black-horned boars back, but it's too late to regret it now.
"It's alright, it's alright! We'll leave this place together!" Jiang Yuan immediately comforted him.
"Here, take your stuff back!" Ning Yanlan shoved the silvery-white core in her hand into Jiang Yuan's hands, saying angrily, "I originally wanted to teach you a lesson for not picking it up, but someone as stubborn as you would definitely go back to pick it up, so I picked it up anyway!"
Jiang Yuan awkwardly accepted the seventh-tier mithril core. It was clear that Ning Yanlan had a lot of opinions about him this time, and he had indeed acted somewhat impulsively.
"Look, there's also the Holy Spirit Stone! And two eggs!"
Ning Yanlan then took out several items from the bag she was carrying on her back.
"Eggs?" Jiang Yuan was puzzled when he saw the two oval eggs, each about twenty centimeters long. "What are these?"
"I don't know, there are two eggs not far from where you're lying!" Ning Yanlan shook her head, guessing, "Maybe they were left by that black-horned boar!"
"Pigs lay eggs? Are you kidding me?!" Jiang Yuan was a little confused. "Yanlan, did you collect the eggs of other creatures?"
I've only ever heard of pigs that give birth to live young, never pigs that lay eggs. And the Blackhorn pig doesn't seem that improper!
