Chapter 72: The male and female protagonists join the triangle drama
Fu Ning secretly climbed to the top of the mountain and found the cave mentioned by the system effortlessly.
She looked at it from afar. She recognized this cave. Her father had also practiced seclusion here before. This bastard Shen Hengfeng has been here for five hundred years. Isn't he afraid of being haunted by nightmares every day?
Fu Ning clenched her fists. She had originally planned to leave this world once she had accumulated enough points for one body, but now it seemed that she still had things she had to accomplish.
This time she must kill her enemy with her own hands.
Fu Ning turned to leave, and an old voice flashed through her mind, "Who is coming?"
This familiar voice made her pupils shrink, it was Shen Hengfeng! He could actually find me from such a distance!
Fu Ning calmed down and said, "I'm here to attend Shen Qingning's birthday. Who are you? Where are you?"
“Haha, it turns out to be Qingning’s friend.” Shen Hengfeng’s voice sounded in her mind again.
Fu Ning bit the soft meat in his mouth and walked down the mountain, but his feet were entangled by vines on the ground.
“My friend, don’t be in a hurry to leave.” Shen Hengfeng said, “No one has been here for a long time, please chat with me.”
Fu Ning tried to free his feet, "If you don't even want to show up, what can I talk to you about?"
Chen Hengfeng said: "I have a compelling reason, otherwise who would want to be trapped here and die."
He sighed, "I have no ill intentions. If you chat with me, I will be happy. I will definitely benefit from your help."
Fu Ning rolled his eyes, "I don't want it, just let me go."
"You can try to break free."
Fu Ning took out her sword and chopped at the vines on her feet. The vines seemed to be made of iron. She was reluctant to cut off her feet. She was so angry that her lungs were about to explode. After taking a few deep breaths, she sat down and said, "Tell me what you want to talk about."
"Haha." Shen Hengfeng laughed twice in triumph, "You are an interesting girl, what's your name?"
Fu Ning closed his eyes to hide the hatred in them, not wanting to draw his attention now, "Xiao Shuang."
"Just Xiaoshuang? What's your last name?"
Fu Ning said impatiently: "No surname, no one in our village has a surname."
Shen Hengfeng said: "Then your village must not be big. Without a common surname as a continuation and connection between each other, how can it grow stronger?"
Fu Ning sneered, "Sometimes surnames are actually a constraint."
Just like she clearly hated the Shen family, but had no choice but to be tied to the Shen family back then.
Shen Hengfeng said: "Your statement is quite novel."
Fu Ning chatted with him perfunctorily, "What about you? Who are you and why do you only have one voice?"
Chen Hengfeng said with a smug tone, "It might scare you if I tell you this. My name is Chen Hengfeng, and I am the uncle of Immortal Master Chen. Five hundred years ago, I and the Immortal Master jointly guarded the cultivation world and the human world. Unfortunately, I was severely injured by the evil god, and my body was severely damaged. I can only recuperate here."
He said sadly: "The Shen family has almost forgotten about me."
It was so disgusting that Fu Ning couldn't bear to listen to it anymore and even wanted to vomit out the undigested food from yesterday. This person is really good at confusing right and wrong. The culprit can even call himself a hero.
She covered her mouth to hide it and asked, "The Immortal Lord and the Evil God are both dead, how come you are still alive?"
Shen Hengfeng said proudly: "I have a treasure..."
He paused deliberately, loosened the vines that bound Fu Ning's feet, and kept the secret, "That's about all we have to talk about today. Come and chat with me often in the future, and I'll tell you."
After Fu Ning regained his freedom, he ran away without paying any attention to him.
——
Back to Shen Qingning's banquet, the guests had basically arrived. The male and female guests sat on each side, and the table was filled with various dishes, still mainly light.
Fu Ning found an inconspicuous empty seat and sat down, saying with emotion: "It's embarrassing to have a banquet with just these dishes. "
"Huh." The system finally spoke, "Boss, that old man was so powerful just now. He was able to transmit the sound directly to your brain. I was afraid that he would find me, so I didn't dare to speak."
Fu Ning's expression was not good. "You did the right thing. He is even more powerful than he was five hundred years ago."
System: "Then why don't we take this opportunity to visit him more often and find out if he has any magic weapon that can bring people back to life."
Fu Ning quickly spat, "Bah, I'm disgusted enough, I still go to him often, that's really too much of a sacrifice. I don't care what treasures he has, as long as I'm better than him."
"Oh, that's not necessary." The small system said, "Isn't the evil god in the Tribulation Crossing Stage? He knows that Shen Hengfeng is alive and will definitely not let him go. We can just watch the fire from the other side of the river."
"No." Fu Ning said firmly, "In the past, I was restricted from killing him. Now I must kill him with my own hands to get rid of the hatred in my heart."
Fu Ning finished his meal with gritted teeth, but didn't taste anything.
After dinner, several juniors who were familiar with Shen Qingning wanted to visit the Shen family's back garden. They heard that it was specially renovated this year. Because Shen Qingning's mother liked flowers, many rare varieties were planted.
Fu Ning became interested when she heard this. She had been groping in the dark in the cultivation of the Xiling grass. As a complete layman, she really wanted to see how the experts grew it.
She was originally worried about Yan Hengyu's health and wanted him to return to Changwu Peak first, but he insisted on following her.
Therefore, even though the two were not familiar with any of Shen Qingning's friends, they still went into the garden.
As expected, as soon as I entered, I smelled the refreshing floral fragrance, which was rich and refreshing.
After they turned around the rockery, they found that there were more than just flowers and plants. The Shen family also built a small lake with a pavilion standing on the lake, which looked particularly elegant.
The system suddenly said, "Boss, this actually involves a misunderstanding between the male and female protagonists."
Fu Ning pricked up his ears, "Oh? Tell me about it."
The small system said: "Did you see the woman in the lilac coat?"
Fu Ning tilted his head and said, "I saw it."
The woman the system was talking about was joking with Shen Qingning. She had a pair of beautiful fox eyes, a thin upper lip and a thick lower lip, and the corners of her mouth were naturally slightly upturned. She was obviously a bright beauty, but she deliberately wore light-colored and gentle clothes, the style of which was somewhat similar to Shen Qingning's clothes.
Unfortunately, it doesn't match her temperament at all and makes people feel a little weird.
The system continued, "She is the second female lead in the book. Her name is Su Zimei. She is the daughter of the Su family, one of the four major families. She is arrogant and domineering. She will force the heroine to fall into the water with her. But in fact, she is a good swimmer. When the hero wanted to save the heroine, she intercepted and entangled the hero. The hero had no choice but to pull her ashore first. The heroine, who couldn't swim, watched her lover save another woman and she almost drowned. In the end, the villain jumped in to save her."
Fu Ning stretched his neck to look around, "Song Jinghe didn't come today either."
System: "Don't worry about that. Someone will definitely save the heroine."
Fu Ning nodded, "Well, I'll go and save him."
"Eh?" The system asked in surprise, "Boss, you can swim."
"Of course." Fu Ning saw Yan Qu coming over and frowned, "I still can't understand why so many women are fascinated by Yan Qu. I think he is far inferior to Xiaoyu in appearance."
The system said: "The male protagonist may not meet your aesthetic standards, but he is dignified and has an extraordinary demeanor, and is very popular with women."
Fu Ning walked around Shen Qingning and saw an orchid that was said to be worth ten thousand gold. She curled her lips, thinking that such precious flowers were not as beautiful as the flowers she had grown.
Suddenly someone by the lake exclaimed, and Fu Ning quickly raised his head and saw it very clearly.
Su Zimei fell into the water first, holding Shen Qingning's sleeve tightly and bringing her into the water together, but to outsiders it seemed as if Shen Qingning had pushed her into the water.
Several maids shouted, "Miss!"
With a splash, Yan Qu was the first to jump into the water, and Fu Ning followed closely behind him. From the corner of his eye, he saw that Su Zimei had indeed entangled Yan Qu as the system said.
So she immediately swam towards Shen Qingning who was struggling desperately. This was a good opportunity for her to gain favor.
"Boss, you need to hold the heroine's shoulders from behind, and don't let her entangle your body."
"Know."
Fu Ning held Shen Qingning’s chin with his elbow, and seeing that she was still struggling desperately, he comforted her: “It’s okay, you won’t die.”
She dragged Shen Qingning to shore effortlessly, and Yan Hengyu came around to help her.
Seeing that she was unconscious, Fu Ning followed the method taught by the system. He knelt on the ground and placed his knees on Shen Qingning's abdomen to keep her in a prone position. He patted her back gently and watched her pass out the water she had drunk. He then pried open her lips, helped her clear her mouth and nose, and pulled out her tongue to keep her breathing unobstructed.
Shen Qingning recovered quickly and was no longer in danger of death.
Only then did Fu Ning have time to look up and saw that Yan Qu had also rescued Su Zimei.
The beautiful woman was nestling in his arms pitifully at this moment, hugging his neck tightly and refusing to let go.
"I was so scared, I thought I was going to die." Su Zimei said pretentiously, "Why did Sister Qingning suddenly push me?"
Shen Qingning, who had just woken up not far away, heard this groundless accusation and said with a weak breath: "How can you slander me?"
Fu Ning couldn't bear to listen any more, "Chen Qingning is having her birthday today. Who do you think she is to make things difficult for you on such a happy day? If you want to seduce a man, just say so. It's not shameful to do such shameless things."
"You, you..." Su Zimei pointed at Fu Ning, her chest heaving violently, and she closed her eyes and fainted.
Her maid started crying and shouting at her again.
Shen Qingning looked at Fu Ning silently, and felt that her words touched her heart, which was really gratifying, so she pulled up her wet clothes and whispered: "Accompany me to change clothes."
Fu Ning's clothes were already sticking to her body, and she was really uncomfortable. She nodded and helped Shen Qingning up, but her feet became weak and she was about to fall to the ground again, let alone walk back to the house.
Yan Qu finally left Su Zimei behind at this time and walked up to them, wanting to pick up Shen Qingning.
Shen Qingning's body obviously retreated a little, and said to Yan Qu indifferently: "I don't want to see you."
"Qingning, I'm sorry." Yan Qu hurriedly explained, "I was going to save you, but she..."
Shen Qingning snorted coldly, “I know, just go take care of her, don’t worry about me.”
Fu Ning was observing the love scene between the male and female protagonists from a close distance, but was suddenly grabbed by Shen Qingning. She raised her round eyes pitifully and said to Fu Ning: "Can you take me away?"
Fu Ning: “…”
She just wanted to shake Shen Qingning's head to make her sober up. Why did she suddenly join the triangle drama between the male and female protagonists?
Although he thought so, Fu Ning still picked up Shen Qingning.
How can you miss the opportunity to improve your favorability?
