Chapter 69: Fourth Brother Encounters a Honey Trap; He Deserves to Learn from This...
Talking about the competition, Luo Qingyao praised, "You, Cijian Peak, have made great progress this time. Not only did you, Senior Brother, perform very steadily, but Senior Sister Hua also performed very well."
Seeing that Luo Qingyao could praise herself so calmly, and even praised Hua Shengqing, Liang Xiao felt that she was really a generous and tolerant person.
"It's...it's okay. To be honest, we were lucky this time." Liang Xiao said modestly.
"Brother, what you said is inappropriate. The fact that you can shine on the stage today is definitely inseparable from your daily hard training, so don't be too modest on behalf of Senior Sister Hua. To be honest, it's also because of my own lack of ambition that I'm so far behind you." Luo Qingyao looked very serious and said.
Seeing Luo Qingyao belittling him like that, Liang Xiao became anxious. Without even thinking, he said, "Junior Sister Luo, you're overthinking it. My Seventh Junior Sister is so powerful thanks to her Ziwei Skyfire and sword!"
Seeing Luo Qingyao's somewhat surprised expression, Liang Xiao realized that he was a little too anxious and actually said these words.
However, he quickly adjusted himself. After all, he was not wrong. Even Seventh Junior Sister herself felt so.
After Luo Qingyao came back to her senses, she felt like laughing. She really wanted Hua Shengqing to listen to what Liang Xiao said, let her see what her beloved fourth senior brother said to her, and see what expression she would have.
But Luo Qingyao didn't show it at all. Instead, she revealed a look of hurt and said, "Even so, it's still much better than mine. Sigh... Junior Sister Nan's Thunderbolt Bomb is truly powerful! I can be considered somewhat honored to have Junior Sister Nan go to such great lengths to research an even more powerful Thunderbolt Bomb."
Luo Qingyao said this, but her tone sounded very dejected and cold, which immediately touched Liang Xiao's heart.
This made him feel a little resentful towards his own junior sister. Why did she use such a powerful thunder bomb in the arena? Now Junior Sister Luo was injured and unable to get up.
"Yes...I'm sorry," Liang Xiao said dryly. He didn't know why he should apologize, but he just felt bad.
If I don't say something, I will feel very uncomfortable, but if I want to say something, I don't know what to say.
Hearing Liang Xiao's involuntary apology, Luo Qingyao knew that the matter was already 80% settled.
Just like that, under Luo Qingyao's control, the two of them fought back and forth for a while, pushing Liang Xiao's guilt to its peak. Luo Qingyao then said, "It's not that there's no way to save me in my current state, but unfortunately that method would require too much sacrifice. I can't bear to see others do so much for me, and my brothers, you don't have any intention of doing anything for me..."
At this point, tears finally welled up in Luo Qingyao's eyes, sparkling and making Liang Xiao's heart ache. He said hot-headedly, "If others don't want to do it, let me do it!"
Luo Qingyao was immediately surprised and asked: "Really? Senior Brother, you..."
Liang Xiao was a little hesitant, but before he could say anything, the light in Luo Qingyao's eyes dimmed little by little. "Forget it, Master also sternly warned me that this method was too against the will of Heaven. Even if it meant losing my life, he wouldn't let me use it. I've already accepted my fate..."
Seeing Luo Qingyao so lost and giving in, Liang Xiao's hesitation immediately disappeared. Instead, he felt a little regretful for his hesitation.
So he hurriedly said, "How could your master say that? How could your life be unimportant? Even if it goes against the will of heaven, so what? If it can save lives, then of course saving lives is more important."
Luo Qingyao asked pitifully in disbelief, "Do you really think so?"
Liang Xiao nodded vigorously. He felt something was a little bit wrong, but he didn't have time to think about it. His heart and eyes were filled with the desire to comfort the lovely person in front of him as soon as possible.
Luo Qingyao immediately started crying again. This time, she controlled her tears very well. They fell like beads, strung together into a string, filled with emotion, joy, and some relief.
Therefore, Liang Xiao felt even more distressed. He didn't expect that just a few simple words could move Junior Sister Luo so much.
Everyone in the sect said that Junior Sister Luo was the most favored Junior Sister in Yunxiao Peak. It seemed that the rumors could not be fully trusted.
Luo Qingyao wiped her tears and said, "I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself. These past few days, I've been lying on this couch, suffering from injuries all over my body. From being full of hope to being disheartened, I even... even..."
At this point, Luo Qingyao choked up. Liang Xiao couldn't bear it anymore, and his hands were faster than his brain. He directly took her into his arms and patted her back gently to comfort her.
After Liang Xiao came to his senses, he was about to apologize, but he felt Luo Qingyao's furry head leaning directly on him. His heart softened immediately and he swallowed the words of apology.
After a long time, Luo Qingyao raised her head and asked with eyes as bright as a deer: "Brother, are you really willing to help me?"
Liang Xiao nodded subconsciously. At this point, let alone helping her, even if he gave her his heart, Liang Xiao felt that he was willing to do so.
Luo Qingyao nodded: "Brother, it would be great if you could agree to me."
After saying that, Luo Qingyao looked into Liang Xiao's eyes and slowly smiled.
Liang Xiao was immersed in the satisfaction of being relied upon, trusted, and depended upon. Before he could come to his senses, he didn't notice that Luo Qingyao's clear black eyes were getting darker and deeper...
When Liang Xiao felt a little dizzy, he couldn't help but say, "Junior Sister Luo, I..."
A black gas floated out and entered Liang Xiao's mouth. Liang Xiao suddenly panicked and opened his mouth, but found that he could not make any sound.
Luo Qingyao's eyes had turned completely black at this time, and her face had become a little paler. Her lips, which had been quite rosy, had now turned dark purple.
"Shh... don't talk... it's affecting your ability to help me..."
Liang Xiao looked at Luo Qingyao, who had become so different, and gradually realized that he had been deceived!
Although he didn't know what was going on with the Junior Sister Luo in front of him, he believed that this was not the Junior Sister Luo he knew!
He really wanted to question this evil person in front of him, asking what she was and what she was going to do, but she couldn't make a sound.
But he had to keep his eyes open, watching as black smoke emerged from Luo Qingyao's body, entangling him and even engulfing him...
It was not until this moment that Liang Xiao felt the approach of death and became panicked. He did not want to die here!
Luo Qingyao smiled, her voice sounding dull and bitter, "Brother Liang, don't be afraid... didn't you say you would help me..."
Liang Xiao opened his eyes, looking at the "Luo Qingyao" in front of him who looked like a Shura ghost, and his heartstrings kept tightening...
At the foot of Yunxiao Peak, on a not-so-tall tree, two figures were sitting on a branch.
Nan Si Ning took out a small pink and green snack and handed it to the person next to him: "You just transformed into a human form, so you can't eat anything with a strong flavor yet. Try this sweet one first!"
The man next to him with high eyebrows and deep eyes took the dessert, but did not eat it immediately. Instead, he held it in his hand and looked around for a long time.
Nan Sining directly took out a few skewers of meat, holding one in his left hand and one in his right hand, and ate happily.
"Oh, I didn't expect that the transformation pill was so tiring. It completely emptied my stomach." Nan Sining muttered.
She originally thought that refining a batch of ordinary transformation pills would be enough for the little beast. However, after the little beast ate them, it didn't react at all. Instead, it burped and said that they didn't taste very good.
So Nan Sining started refining it again, spending more time and energy, and also replaced the spiritual plants with better ones. However, after the little beast ate it, it still had no reaction, but instead let out a very powerful fart.
After a whole day of refining pills and taking medicines, and missing the moment when his seventh senior sister was killing everyone in the arena, Nan Si Ning finally refined a bright orange pill and gave it to the little beast to eat.
After eating the pill, the little beast held its breath for a long time before slowly shedding the black scales on its body, revealing a slightly darker skin color.
The face he transformed into in the end surprised Nan Sining.
Nan Si Ning pinched his chin, looked left and right, admiring him for a long time, and then said with some regret: "If I had known that your transformation would be so beautiful, I would have put the transformation on the agenda earlier."
Although there are cultivators all around him and there are no ugly people, at least some of them have pretty faces, but he has never seen such a shocking beauty as the little beast after its transformation.
Nan Si Ning was eating when suddenly the person next to him handed the snack back to him: "You eat it."
Nan Si Ning quickly swallowed the meat in his mouth and asked, "What's wrong? Don't you like it?"
The little beast shook his head: "No, you said you were hungry, so eat more."
Nan Si Ning paused, pushed the snack back and said, "I don't need it. I still have some. You can have it."
Nan Si Ning felt a little guilty when he thought that this kid had just transformed into a human form and was dragged here to work. Wouldn't his actions make Nan Si Ning feel even more guilty?
Seeing that Nan Si Ning really didn't need it, the little beast held the snack and slowly began to eat it.
Nan Si Ning paid attention and found that although the little beast had turned into a human form, the way it ate and its movements were still the same as before.
Halfway through their meal, the wind and clouds on Yunxiao Peak seemed to be moving strangely, and they both stopped eating.
After a while, the little beast asked, "Sister, aren't we going to rescue people?"
Nan Si Ning narrowed his eyes and looked at the red light that seemed to be shining through the clouds. He snorted and said, "Don't worry, he won't die anyway. We should let Fourth Brother suffer a little more."
Nan Si Ning earnestly taught the little beast, "During our last training trip, only Fourth Senior Brother didn't make much progress. That's because he's never faced this kind of mortal danger. And for Fourth Senior Brother right now, tempering his character is more urgent than improving his cultivation or refining his swordsmanship."
This is also the reason why the people from Cijian Peak, at least Liang Xiao, found a lame excuse to leave Cijian Peak and did not ask too many questions.
The little beast nodded. He would do whatever Nan Si Ning said.
The two of them ate leisurely in this somewhat cold and scary atmosphere.
After Nan Si Ning had filled his stomach, he clapped his hands and said, "I'm done, how about you?"
The little beast also nodded.
"Then let's go. You can help find where Fourth Senior Brother's body was abandoned."
The little beast responded obediently, then closed his eyes and released his stress.
