Chapter 30 Give me all your thunder bombs! Luo Qingyao, you...
Hu Yan heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Luo Qingyao's words, thinking that Luo Qingyao wasn't that mean, when he heard her continue, "It's just that Junior Sister Nan is all alone here. As a fellow senior sister, I can't just watch her face such danger alone!"
Hu Yan was immediately stuck, his face turning grim.
I thought Luo Qingyao had some conscience, but I didn't expect that she was just playing both sides!
Hu Yan was the only one who reacted. After hearing Luo Qingyao's gentle tone, the other male cultivators believed her unconsciously and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: Junior Sister Luo is such a good person!
Seeing Hu Yan's face turn almost the color of pig liver, Luo Qingyao still refused to give up and continued, "Since Second Senior Brother has already agreed to my request, why not take care of Junior Sister Nan as well!"
I still don’t believe that I can’t order him around today! Luo Qingyao gritted her teeth secretly.
Hearing many of his fellow disciples praising Luo Qingyao's kindness and loyalty, Hu Yan's face almost turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
It's such a shame to have such a brainless fellow student!
Just when Luo Qingyao thought that Hu Yan could no longer suppress his anger, Hu Yan had already started thinking about it.
Judging from Luo Qingyao's expression, she was certain that Nan Si Ning had some magical powers, which was why she wanted to tie her up to her side...
Before Hu Yan could even finish his calculations, Nan Si Ning had already recovered and dismantled the formation, saying, "I truly admire Senior Sister Luo's clever tactics. If Senior Brother Hu agrees, then it will be Senior Brother Hu who will be working hard to protect me, while Senior Sister will be the one to receive the favor. Is this how you win people over?"
Nan Si Ning glanced at the male cultivators. For some reason, those male cultivators felt their hearts skip a beat when they were looked down upon by Nan Si Ning, as if they were being despised.
Luo Qingyao hurriedly said: "Junior sister, I..."
Nan Si Ning acted frightened and tried to refuse, "Oh my, I'm not worthy of being called Junior Sister by you, Senior Sister Luo! In the Luoshui Secret Realm, after you called me Junior Sister, Senior Sister and I were almost bitten to death by a snake. On the flying boat, after you called me Junior Sister, you tried to poison me with cold. Now, I'm stressed out by you calling me Junior Sister! I can't take it!"
Luo Qingyao suddenly choked, her hands shaking with anger. It would have been fine if Nan Si Ning hadn't mentioned it, but once she did, it brought back those humiliating memories!
After listening to this, Hu Yan felt a little better.
As expected, someone as eloquent as Luo Qingyao can only be controlled by someone as eloquent as Nan Sining.
The male cultivators were a little surprised when they heard this, but they didn't feel much. After all, they were right in front of Luo Qingyao! In addition, there was a bit of sarcasm in Nan Si Ning's tone, which made them stand on Luo Qingyao's side even more unconsciously.
But Nan Sining didn't care much about what those people thought.
She continued blabbering, "Although I have great trust in Senior Brother Hu, I don't trust you! When we reached the secret realm entrance, you said you wanted to come with me, but it turned out you were just trying to plant a tracking spell on me. Now you're taking me with you again, and I bet you're up to no good! You just want to use me, maybe even kill me!"
"You——" Luo Qingyao was so angry that she almost collapsed, "Don't slander me at will!"
She was secretly surprised at Nan Si Ning's sharpness. She didn't expect Nan Si Ning to react so quickly. But this matter was not like releasing the cold poison on the flying boat where he was caught red-handed, so she would never admit it.
Nan Si Ning waved his hand indifferently and said, "Whether what I said is true or not, you know it in your heart. I just want to tell you that your credit with me has been bankrupt. I will not believe a single word you say."
Hu Yan was secretly surprised. She didn't expect that Nan Si Ning's words would change the attitude of her and Luo Qingyao.
Is Nan Sining bluffing, or does he have another card up his sleeve?
Luo Qingyao didn't notice this. She was just very unwilling and didn't want Nan Si Ning to escape again. This damn girl was so slippery. This time, he finally caught her. If he let her run away, he was afraid he would never catch her again.
Without Nan Si Ning, where could she find the Ziwei Heavenly Fire? It had taken quite a while to get to this secret realm. Next time, even if she brought up her own master, Medicine King City might not give her the courtesy to let her in again.
In a hurry, Luo Qingyao deliberately misled Dong and said, "It's fine if you don't believe me, but don't you even believe Second Senior Brother?"
Hu Yan saw through Luo Qingyao's purpose at a glance, and sneered in his heart, but did not show it on his face. He waited for Nan Si Ning's answer with some curiosity. He inexplicably felt that Nan Si Ning's answer would definitely not disappoint him.
Nan Si Ning said disdainfully, "Luo Qingyao, don't you understand the principle that a gentleman should not build a dangerous wall? I know you harbor evil intentions towards me, yet you still rush to help me? Senior Brother Hu can't help me guard against you all the time. Don't use Senior Brother Hu's reputation to endorse yourself."
Seeing that Nan Si Ning was unmoved, Luo Qingyao's tone turned cold: "So what you're saying is that you'd rather die than go with us?"
Nan Si Ning blinked: "I never said that!"
Hearing Nan Si Ning change his words so quickly, many people were still a little slow to react. Wasn't this what he meant when he just kept scolding Luo Qingyao for having bad intentions towards her?
Many people also recalled that Nan Si Ning had never said that he was unwilling to go with them.
Luo Qingyao also felt that her patience had run out, and she said in a stern tone: "What exactly do you mean? Are you going to be obedient and come with us, or do you want us to use some tricks to make you obediently come with us? Give me a definite answer!"
Nan Si Ning said with a grin, "Luo Qingyao, don't you understand me yet? Just like when we were fighting on the flying boat, you have to give me some tangible benefits before I can go with you!"
Luo Qingyao thought of the cut on the flying boat, and the familiar feeling of heartache came over her. She also experienced what "stress" meant.
"What benefit do you want?" Hu Yan finally asked.
Seeing the two little girls bickering, he became a little impatient.
Just when everyone was speculating about what powerful magical weapon Nan Si Ning would ask for, or some generous treatment, they heard Nan Si Ning say, "I'm not a greedy person. All I need is for Luo Qingyao to give me all the thunder bombs she has."
Hu Yan frowned: "That's it?"
Thunderbolt bombs are considered to be magical instruments with decent lethality, but they aren't of high rank. This is partly because they're easy to craft, and partly because they're consumable and easily replaceable. Not to mention that weapon cultivators can create a number of similar explosive magical instruments, talisman cultivators can also draw explosive talismans, and formation cultivators can set up bombing formations. It's really nothing new.
Nan Sining hummed in her heart. She had suffered losses from thunder bombs twice in a row, and she would feel unbalanced if she didn't blow it back.
Moreover, although she and Luo Qingyao came from two different modern societies, they both shared a yearning for the art of explosions. If there was anything they disliked, they could just blow it up. It was a hearty and exhilarating experience!
Luo Qingyao almost spat out a mouthful of blood when she heard Hu Yan say "that's it". What did he mean by "that's it"? As an alchemy cultivator, please don't look down on the Thunderbolt Bomb so much!
After being robbed in the Luoshui Secret Realm, these thunder bombs are now in Luo Qingyao's hands. She managed to get spirit stones from the bootlickers to buy them. It is one of her few means of saving her life.
If she hadn't been a little anxious and angry just now, fearing that Nan Si Ning, who had finally appeared, would take advantage of the opportunity and run away again, she would not have been willing to throw away so much at once!
"Yes, for this small request, Senior Brother Hu should be able to ask Luo Qingyao to satisfy me, right?" Nan Sining deliberately imitated Luo Qingyao's chatty tone and asked, making Hu Yan twitch his lips.
Hu Yan looked at Luo Qingyao, who refused without a second thought: "Master Nan... Nan Si Ning, get it straight. We asked you to come with us for your own good. Why do you still want me to give you the Thunderbolt Bomb?"
Nan Si Ning seemed a little impatient and said, "But you begged me to go with you, not me. If you don't come, my brothers and sisters will be here soon. Why do I need your protection?"
When it comes to Zhou Lixing and Hua Shengqing, Luo Qingyao does feel some pressure.
Both of them were strong fighters, and they were crazy about protecting their junior sister. Hua Shengqing was extremely disgusted with herself. If she really waited until they came, she would have no chance to take Nan Si Ning away.
Luo Qingyao narrowed her eyes and threatened secretly: "What if we take you away by force?"
Nan Si Ning chuckled, patted the head of the obedient little beast beside him, and said, "Then you have to beat it first."
After hearing Nan Sining's words, everyone's attention returned to the little beast.
The little beast looked completely black, and its height was no taller than Nan Si Ning's shoulders. Its face was awkward, but strangely, it didn't look ugly, just novel. Its bright black eyes were filled with indifference and coldness, and only when it occasionally glanced at Nan Si Ning did it show a hint of trust and reliance.
Even though so many people were looking at it at the same time, it was not panicked at all, as if the people looking at it were no different from stones or trees, and were not worth its attention at all.
Judging from the situation, either he knows nothing, or his strength is unfathomable.
Luo Qingyao looked at the little beast for a long time with jealousy and sourness in her heart, and couldn't help but look at Hu Yan.
Hu Yan is the only one in the Jindan stage here, with the highest cultivation level. I wonder if he has seen anything?
Hu Yan shook his head slightly, he couldn't see anything either.
Therefore, the strength of this little beast is likely to far exceed that of a Jindan stage cultivator, and it is even possible to surpass the Yuanying stage and be equal to the Shenhua stage.
Seeing that Hu Yan was unsure, Luo Qingyao was even more unwilling and resentful.
Nan Si Ning! It’s Nan Si Ning again! How come the benefits are hers again! I’m so angry!
Now that Nan Si Ning has such a powerful pet, she must obtain the Zi Wei Heavenly Fire! Only the Zi Wei Heavenly Fire can allow her to face Nan Si Ning head-on with such a powerful pet!
Thinking of the Ziwei Skyfire and the possibility that Zhou Lixing and Hua Shengqing would be arriving soon, Luo Qingyao finally stopped hesitating and pulled out some thunder bombs from her storage ring. She said to Nan Si Ning, "Can we go now?"
Nan Si Ning took the thunder bomb without hesitation, and said bluntly: "I said, these are all the thunder bombs on you!"
Luo Qingyao also unconsciously raised her voice and shouted: "That's all I have!"
"I don't believe it!" Nan Sining insisted.
Everyone remembered what she had just said, that Luo Qingyao had lost all trust in her and didn't believe a single word Luo Qingyao said. At this time, they had a deeper understanding.
Hu Yan was even more shocked by Nan Sining's determination. He said he didn't believe it and he didn't give her any face or care about his image. He just insisted on persisting to the end.
"Junior Sister Luo, just give them all to her. They're just a few thunder bombs, not worth many spirit stones." Hu Yan urged with a slight headache.
Luo Qingyao felt a sense of grievance as if she was a child and was asked by her parents to give in to other children. She really wanted to refuse directly, but when she thought of the Ziwei Skyfire, she could only swallow this grievance for the time being.
She took out some more Thunderbolt bombs and stuffed them into Nan Si Ning's hands. Nan Si Ning had an expression that said, "I knew it," and emphasized, "All of them! I won't go with you if you have one less!"
This time, Luo Qingyao was so aggrieved that she almost cried. She secretly swore in her heart: Nan Si Ning, just wait for me! When I get the Ziwei Heavenly Fire, you will repay me double for everything you owe me!
Nan Sining also felt Luo Qingyao's exposed murderous intent, but she didn't care much. Anyway, with these thunder bombs, her sense of security was greatly increased!
Finally, Nan Si Ning even asked to personally check Luo Qingyao's storage ring to make sure there was not a single piece left before letting her go: "Although your sincerity is not very strong, I am a man of my word."
Luo Qingyao should have been happy that Nan Si Ning finally gave in, but when she heard this, she became angry again.
Nan Sining found it funny to see Luo Qingyao thinking she had gotten what she wanted.
Nan Si Ning was willing to follow because he wanted to stop Luo Qingyao from obtaining the Ziwei Heavenly Fire. How could he stop her if he didn't follow her? And he could also take a ride along the way, saving his spiritual power and energy. It was a great deal!
However, she understood the psychology of people like Luo Qingyao very well. If you agreed too readily, she would become suspicious and wary of you. If you didn't use some tricks and take advantage of her, she wouldn't believe you!
Thinking of this, Nan Si Ning couldn't help but touch the storage ring and wondered: When should these thunder bombs hit Luo Qingyao? When she is about to get the Ziwei Heavenly Fire, or when she is proud of getting the Ziwei Heavenly Fire, so that she can turn her joy into sorrow?
In order to keep a close eye on Nan Si Ning, Luo Qingyao personally flew her on a flying sword, but Nan Si Ning said disdainfully, "I don't want to fly a sword. You haven't even established your foundation yet, and you're not proficient in sword-flying magic. I don't want to be filled with wind and sand!"
Luo Qingyao was so angry at Nan Si Ning that she was jumping up and down.
After taking out a flying magic weapon that looked like a carriage, Nan Sining got on the magic weapon like a lord, and asked Luo Qingyao to serve tea and water to herself and the little beast. Luo Qingyao really wanted to slap her.
But thinking that Nan Si Ning was willing to follow her because she had sent so many thunder bombs, Luo Qingyao could only endure it.
Nan Sining was delighted in his heart that the wisdom of his ancestors was indeed useful. He didn't expect that his "empty city plan" could actually scare Luo Qingyao.
Nan Si Ning had no idea what the little beast was capable of. Although the little beast could easily eat those poisonous snakes, Nan Si Ning did not think it had much ability.
Nan Sining originally wanted to use this as an excuse to see if anyone knew this little beast, but even the most capable Hu Yan couldn't figure it out, so she chose to go with the flow and pretend that the little beast had amazing abilities.
It doesn't matter if it's exposed later. As a novice in cultivation, it's normal for me to think that a beast with some abilities is amazing, right?
"Oh..." Nan Si Ning sighed lightly, touched the little beast's head, and took out a spiritual fruit for it to eat.
This child is too naive and has poor vision. He immediately fell in love with me, who is in crisis, which is a bit of a burden to it.
When Luo Qingyao saw Nan Sining feeding the rare spiritual fruit to the little beast, she suspected that the little beast was quite precious and could only be fed with rare spiritual fruits, spiritual plants, elixirs and the like.
The more this is the case, the more it shows that he has extraordinary bloodline and a noble background.
Luo Qingyao pursed her lips and looked away with some difficulty. Now she not only wanted the Ziwei Skyfire, but also this well-behaved and unfathomable little beast!
Well, anyway, after Nan Si Ning dies, this little beast will be ownerless, and it will belong to her alone!
Now, let's just think of Nan Si Ning taking care of me temporarily! Luo Qingyao felt a little more relaxed thinking about this, and a smile appeared on her face unconsciously.
Nan Sining felt that Luo Qingyao's smile was eerie and scary. How could she, a heroine, smile like a villain?
Not long after Nan Sining followed Luo Qingyao and the others, Zhou Lixing and Hua Shengqing appeared at the place where they had just confronted each other.
"Huh? Why isn't he here?" Hua Shengqing scanned around with his spiritual sense but found no trace of Nan Sining.
This is the message they received from Junior Sister earlier.
After Zhou Lixing searched for a while and confirmed that Nan Si Ning was indeed gone, Hua Shengqing suddenly became anxious: "How could Junior Sister disappear so suddenly? Did she encounter any danger?"
Zhou Lixing thought about it, and suddenly recalled the tracking method that Nan Sining had agreed with him in the Luoshui Secret Realm. He took two steps forward, raised his hands, and made a spell. The air slowly twisted and some faint human figures appeared.
Nan Si Ning's voice also seemed to be whispering in a breathy voice: "Third Brother, Seventh Sister, Luo Qingyao 'kindly' invited me to go with them. I'm leaving with them first. You guys should follow and help me!"
After a while, the images and sounds faded away and peace returned.
Hua Shengqing was both angry and shocked: "Luo Qingyao again! Luo Qingyao kidnapped my junior sister?!"
Zhou Lixing thought about his junior sister's behavior and said, "It shouldn't be considered kidnapping. It's very likely that the junior sister followed her voluntarily."
Hua Shengqing was even more shocked. "Ah? Third Brother, have you lost your mind due to the heat?! Junior Sister and Luo Qingyao are mortal enemies, how could she voluntarily follow her? That despicable Luo Qingyao must have used some trick to hold Junior Sister hostage. No, Third Brother, we should hurry up and rescue Junior Sister! What if Luo Qingyao does something cruel to her..."
Zhou Lixing wasn't that worried at first, but when he thought about how Luo Qingyao had harmed her senior sister and junior sister in the Luoshui Secret Realm, and then harmed her junior sister on the flying boat, he suddenly felt a sense of urgency and said, "Okay! Let's look for her. She should have left some clues for us to follow."
*
Nan Si Ning, who was worried about by his senior brothers and sisters, was now lying on the flying magic weapon with his arms and legs spread out, as if he was here for fun.
Nan Sining had been busy looking for a way out of the Black Forest, and after coming out he encountered Luo Qingyao and her group. He hadn't noticed it yet, but now that he had relaxed, he realized that this secret realm of strange fire was really hot, as if he was being baked.
The scorching heat is of little use even with magical instruments, pills, or talismans. The only way to isolate it is to constantly consume spiritual energy.
As expected, the fire spiritual power of the strange fire is overbearing. It burns people so hard that their spiritual power is consumed very quickly.
Nan Sining, a useless guy with five spiritual roots, could only take a summer-relief pill from time to time, and then practice the "Five Elements of Heaven and Earth" to absorb the fire spiritual power.
It is probably difficult to find another place in this world that has such pure and abundant fire spiritual power.
It's just that this spiritual power is a bit overbearing. When Nan Sining absorbed and transformed it, he felt that his tendons and veins couldn't bear it.
After persisting for a few weeks, I felt tired.
Nan Si Ning opened his eyes and glanced at Luo Qingyao, who was already sweating slightly from the heat. Then he leaned lazily on the little beast and said in a deliberately high voice: "Huh? Why are you so cool? It feels as comfortable as jade!"
The little beast looked confused. It was born in this secret realm and had long been accustomed to this hot environment. It didn't quite understand why Nan Sining and the others felt it was so hot.
However, seeing that Nan Si Ning liked it, it obediently adjusted its hard leather armor to a cooler temperature, making Nan Si Ning want to hold it in his arms.
You are so thoughtful, what’s the difference between you and the happy water and watermelon just taken out of the refrigerator in the dog days of summer!
Seeing the intimacy between Nan Si Ning and the little beast, Luo Qingyao was even more jealous. She didn't expect that this little beast not only had unfathomable strength, but was also so human-like. It seemed that it was really an extraordinary spirit beast!
Thinking of this, Luo Qingyao couldn't help but look at the little beast several times, and found that although it was ignorant, its eyes were clear. When it looked at Nan Si Ning, it was full of humanity, as if it had a human soul, which showed that its mind was extremely high!
The higher the level of the spirit beast, the higher its intelligence will be. When it reaches the sixth level, it can be transformed into a human through cultivation, but there is still some gap between it and humans.
But when it is still in the form of a baby, it can have such a strong mind and abundant emotions, which shows that it is not an ordinary spirit beast, and may even have the blood of a divine beast!
Thinking of this, Luo Qingyao's heart was burning with excitement. If it really had the blood of a divine beast, then using natural treasures to raise it and try to stimulate the blood in its body would be a great help. Looking at the current cultivation continent, although many people claimed that their contracted beasts had the blood of divine beasts, how many of them had actually stimulated it?
If I had a divine beast by my side...
As Luo Qingyao thought about this, her desire to get the little beast in front of her became stronger.
If Luo Qingyao didn't have a shred of rationality left in her, she would have probably pounced on it and snatched it away.
Striving to pull herself out of her turbulent thoughts, Luo Qingyao came over and said in a particularly friendly manner, "This little beast looks very handsome. I wonder where you met it, Junior Sister?"
Nan Si Ning glanced at her in surprise, feeling that this woman had bad intentions again, and said, "I told you not to call me Junior Sister."
Luo Qingyao didn't feel offended at all. Instead, she said in a gentle voice, "Okay, it's okay for me to call you Nan Si Ning from now on, right?"
The doting tone gave Nan Si Ning goose bumps.
Unexpectedly, Luo Qingyao could endure so much just to find out the news about the little beast. This made Nan Sining certain that she was coming for the little beast.
Since Luo Qingyao was disgusted, Nan Si Ning naturally had to return the favor, so she deliberately said, "It's very appropriate for us to call each other by our names." As she spoke, her tone changed, and she seemed a little proud: "You're asking about this little beast? It's actually my good luck. When I first entered this secret realm, I encountered poisonous snakes. It saved me and took care of them in just a few moves! You have no idea how disgusting those poisonous snakes are. Their blood can actually burn like fire! And they will even eat the corpses of their companions!"
Nan Si Ning shook his body artificially at this point. "It was horrible. I almost became food for those snakes. Luckily, I met it. It saved me several times afterwards. Even when you and your men came to find me, it was it who first warned me."
Nan Si Ning spoke half-truthfully, not giving any useful information, only praising the little beast for its power.
Luo Qingyao was a little defensive at first. Why did Nan Si Ning suddenly open up to her? How could he dare to tell her all the benefits of this little beast without reservation?
However, when she saw the smug look on Nan Si Ning's face, she suddenly felt that she understood. No matter how smart Nan Si Ning was, she was still a little girl who had just recovered her sanity. So when she got something good, she couldn't help but want to show off, especially to her mortal enemy.
