Chapter 735 The Heroine Is Not Human (Twenty-nine)
Lu Ming was very sincere, but Pei Yan still did not agree immediately.
His attention is always on his kitten.
With his eyes slightly lowered, Lu Ming happened to see that the little cat had fallen into "contemplation" after hearing what Lu Ming said -
The little cat is interested? Does it want to go to the Blood Mist Demon Forest? If that's the case -
"Okay! Since Brother Lu sincerely wants to invite you, I, Pei, would be disrespectful to refuse!"
Pei Yan's little movements were not very obvious, but as a cultivator, Lu Ming was naturally very sensitive.
He accurately captured the look in Lu Ming's eyes when he looked at the little cat demon——
Uh, what's wrong with this? Before making a decision, you should also see what your pet thinks? Although this kitten is cleaned, furry, soft and cute, it looks very good to rub.
However, going to the Blood Mist Demon Forest is no small matter, as there are not only various strange-looking monsters with varying levels of cultivation, but also strange blood mist.
Fog is poisonous.
In addition to hurting the body, it can also cause hallucinations. If the cultivator already has mental demons, the consequences will be extremely tragic.
In serious cases, one will be trapped in the blood mist and will never be able to get out! The blood mist monster forest is full of dangers, but there are not many valuable cultivation resources.
If he didn't need to practice, if he didn't need a thousand-year-old green root flower to make the elixir, a cultivation genius like Lu Ming, who had a strong backing, wouldn't easily get involved! This was also the reason why he tried his best to invite Pei Yan. In addition to wanting to take the opportunity to make friends and form a cultivation partner with him, he also wanted to share the risks.
During the trip to the Blood Mist Demon Forest, Lu Ming was definitely "on high alert", but Pei Yan was -
"Perhaps Pei Yan particularly likes this little cat demon."
"Or maybe this little cat demon has some 'magical' aspects that outsiders don't know about!"
Lu Ming guessed secretly.
However, although he didn't know why Pei Yan valued a little cat demon, he was sure of one thing: the little cat demon was very important to Pei Yan!
For some things, you don't need to know the reason, just know the result.
"Brother Pei, since we have decided to go to the Blood Mist Demon Forest, we must make some preparations. Although the Blood Demon City is a bit remote, there is a branch of the Treasure Pavilion."
Treasure Pavilion is the top trading company in the Western Continent, with branches spread across various cities.
The Treasure Pavilion, as the name suggests, naturally only deals in "treasures". All "treasures" related to cultivation, such as talismans, elixirs, magic tools, formation plates and other items, are sold in the Treasure Pavilion.
The Treasure Pavilion also holds auctions regularly, and more rare and precious cultivation resources can be purchased as long as you have spirit stones.
The monks are quite respectful of the Treasure Pavilion.
When people heard about going to the Treasure Pavilion to buy things, they were basically very interested.
But Pei Yan is an exception.
The word "Yan" in his name is not only a testament to his mother's excellence, but also seems to accurately "predict" his character.
Pei Yan looked like a young nobleman from a secular family, either aloof or handsome, but he seemed to be born with a coldness and had no interest in anything.
Even he himself seems to have an "indifferent" attitude.
If he had some character, he wouldn't be so indifferent when he met Han Linger and her group in the market this morning.
Huh? Wait!
Lu Ming had a good memory. Although he had not paid much attention to Pei Yan when he traveled with him before, he still paid some attention to this "mortal" because of his thoughtful and cautious nature.
He discovered that before meeting the little cat demon, Pei Yan did not react too intensely to Han Linger's various "performances".
Whether the other party was acting or using him to gain fame, Pei Yan just pretended not to hear.
However, when he met the little cat demon in the market, Pei Yan suddenly became "tough". He was willing to expose his family's shame and tear apart the kind and beautiful mask of Han Fairy! "Hiss~~"
Lu Ming couldn't help but take a deep breath because of his own imagination.
Could it be that from that time on, Pei Yan had already begun to value that little cat demon?
Lu Ming still couldn't understand, but he knew how to "go with the flow."
So, after he finished talking about going to the Treasure Pavilion to buy cultivation resources, he found that Pei Yan had little interest, so he thought and said, "The Treasure Pavilion also has spirit beast bags, which can make the demon pets live more comfortably."
"In addition, the Treasure Pavilion also has some cultivation techniques and materials needed by demon cultivators—"
This time, before Lu Ming finished speaking, Pei Yan responded readily, "Okay, let's go to the Treasure Pavilion!"
What other monsters don't have, his little cat must have! What other monsters have, his little cat must have even more! Lu Ming: ... Pei Yan, so you are really this kind of Pei Yan! A cultivator at the ninth level of foundation building, actually for a little cat -
However, to be honest, this cat is of ordinary breed, without any magical bloodline or special talents, but it does look pretty good.
He didn't know if it was his illusion, but Lu Ming actually felt that this orange tabby kitten was even prettier than the red-tailed fox raised by a junior sister in the sect.
It's really strange, I actually think a local cat is good-looking! Huoshui picked his nose: ... Tsk! This is a 100+ beauty, a beauty beyond the species! Lu Ming suppressed the doubts in his heart and enthusiastically pulled Pei Yan straight to the Treasure Pavilion.
"Brother Lu?"
Han Linger watched helplessly as her beloved male god left with her most hated lifelong enemy, and she almost bit her teeth to pieces.
She subconsciously called out to Lu Ming, but he was only concerned with greeting "Brother Pei" and didn't hear her at all. Or, even if he heard her, he didn't want to pay attention.
When there is no conflict of interest, whether Han Linger is a fairy or a bitch has nothing to do with Lu Ming.
He could even take care of Han Linger a little for the sake of their so-called "fellow disciples".
But now, Lu Ming feels that his training partner is the most important.
It’s better to stay away from people like Han Linger who obviously have a problem with their character——
In the continent of cultivating immortals, strength is indeed respected, and killing people for treasures is not uncommon.
However, no one wants their partner to be such a person.
Lu Ming's cultivation is indeed far higher than Han Linger's. Under normal circumstances, he is not afraid of Han Linger's mischief.
However, the path of cultivation has too many difficulties and risks, and Lu Ming cannot guarantee that he will ever fall into trouble.
If there was only Han Ling'er by his side, Lu Ming couldn't imagine what kind of situation he would be in because of Han Ling'er.
"…It's safer to leave your back to someone reliable."
Although there is no evidence, Lu Ming feels that if the crisis really comes, the cold, arrogant and world-weary Pei Yan is more reliable than Han Linger!
Han Linger's "love" was destined to be fruitless.
Lu Ming is not only a straight man, but also a very calm and sober person.
He was devoted to cultivation and never focused on "external things"——
"Huh? This white kitten looks pretty cute!"
When he arrived at the Treasure Pavilion, before he started his big shopping spree, Lu Ming saw a kitten in the demon cage.
"Have I been infected by Pei Yan? He actually wants to raise a demon pet?"
"No! It's not! Pei Yan's cat is just an ordinary cat demon, and mine doesn't look like an ordinary one."
"The shopkeeper also said that this was discovered by a senior from the Beast Taming Sect in the ancient battlefield. There is an eighth-level demon guarding it. Maybe it is a cat cub with ancient blood."
On impulse, Lu Ming spent a thousand low-grade spirit stones to buy this snow-white kitten.
After the impulse, his brain cleared up and he realized that he had done something stupid.
Lu Ming: ...
“Ouch!”
The palm-sized snow-white ball huddled in Lu Ming's palm.
A pair of round golden-brown cat eyes, clean and clear. When it looks at people, people will have the illusion that "I am its whole world".
Lu Ming, who was usually sober, was also mesmerized by this look, "I'm not stupid. This cat is really cute!"
"Besides, I have a feeling that it will definitely give me a surprise in the future!"
Although one thousand low-grade spirit stones is not a small amount, it is really nothing for the Nth generation of immortals who come from a wealthy family.
The elders in his family gave him a lot of spirit stones, and his master and mentor also gave him a lot.
He is not short of money! Since he has money, he can do whatever he wants.
"A mysterious-level spirit beast bag made by the Grand Master of the Weapon Refining Sect? It has enough spiritual power, and the demon pet can also cultivate in the spirit beast bag? Great! Buy it!"
"A high-grade Xuan-level Yuan-nourishing Pill, which is the favorite of spirit beasts? Good! Buy it!"
Just now, Lu Ming looked as if he didn't understand Pei Yan, but when he held the small, soft white kitten, he seemed to be drugged.
He was dizzy and dazed, and by the time he came to his senses, he had already spent half of the spirit stones in his storage bag.
I did buy a lot of cultivation materials, but they were basically what the cat needed!
He himself, on the contrary, didn't buy many things.
"You spend so much money on a cat demon!"
"Alas, what kind of world is this? People are worse than cats!"
Hearing the discussions of some onlookers, Lu Ming's head was buzzing.
Hey, these words are so damn familiar.
Clearly, he still looked at Pei Yan in the same way the moment before, but he didn't expect that in the next second, he would be hit on by the same person.
etc!
Pei Yan? ! "Brother Pei?"
Lu Ming was awakened by this. He was so busy buying kittens and buying them so many things that he forgot about Pei Yan for a moment.
This was the training partner that he had chosen with great difficulty, and this was very likely to be one of the "opportunities" in his life. Lu Ming didn't want to miss it.
He held the kitten tightly in his arms and began to search the huge treasure pavilion.
Then, on the second floor, Lu Ming found Pei Yan, who was also holding a kitten.
“Brother Pei!”
Lu Ming shouted as he walked over.
Pei Yan did not respond immediately, he was still "chatting" with the kitten -
"Mao'er, how about this spirit beast bag?"
Gu Qingcheng: ...your grandma’s legs.
Although I am a cat demon, I am not your pet, and I don’t want to live in any spirit beast bag.
A furry little cat's paw immediately hit Pei Yan's face. Hey, it was quite powerful! Come to think of it, Gu Qingcheng looked like a low-level monster of level one or two, but even a monster of level one or two was still a monster.
With the word "妖" in its word, it is no ordinary animal.
Being strong is just the most basic thing.
Pah~ Take my meow punch~
Gu Qingcheng turned into a cat and lived in the form of a cat for two thousand years. Even if she tried her best to restrain herself, her thinking and psychology would be affected to some extent.
Huoshui: ...Ah! Her Majesty the Queen has become so "childish".
"Eh? Well, this isn't really a forced lowering of intelligence, is it?"
"Oh my, what's going on? There's something wrong with this mission itself—"
Yes, there is a problem with the mission!
When Huoshui was helping Gu Qingcheng to draw tasks, it discovered something was wrong.
However, the incident happened too suddenly and was too big. Based on Huoshui's intelligence, authority, etc., he was simply unable to solve it.
It didn't even dare to show any abnormality, for fear of being discovered by its own Queen.
Tsk tsk, the Queen of Heaven is a ruthless person, she will argue even if she is wrong. If she catches me, she will suck the blood out of the system! Moreover, at the moment when Huoshui was stunned, it received a prompt from the main system - continue the task! The main system has spoken, and Huoshui, whose CPU is a little disordered, suddenly has a backbone.
It "made the best of a bad situation" and controlled its expression perfectly.
Hehe, even someone as smart as the Queen Mother didn’t notice it.
Gu Qingcheng: ...I just smile and I won’t say anything!
"It's okay, there will be no problem with the mission."
"Your Majesty the Queen's current state may just be because she has been a cat for so long that she has become a 'pet'."
Huoshui comforted himself in this way, and it turned out that he was really convinced by himself.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
He did not continue to dwell on Gu Qingcheng's abnormality, but just squatted quietly in the small dark room and watched the show silently.
"Cat, are you angry? Don't you like the spirit beast bag?"
"The cat is so nice. Even when he's angry, he still remembers to put away his nails!"
Pei Yan was slapped in the face by Gu Qingcheng, and a red "plum blossom mark" instantly appeared on his fair cheek, but Pei Yan was not angry at all.
He was even happy - even though the cat was angry, it was still holding back.
When it hit itself, it didn't extend its sharp claws.
It, after all, still loves him! Lu Ming: ...Brother Pei! Brother Pei, are you okay?
Even after being beaten by his own demon pet, he was still able to speak well of it.
The white fur ball held in Lu Ming's arms yawned and silently complained -
"What do you know? This is what a qualified poop scooper is!"
"It is an honor for a cat owner to be able to serve him!"
"If you want to be a cat owner who satisfies your cat, you need to know how to use PUA yourself. That's basic skill!"
Yoyo found that she had turned into a cat. After the initial shock, she quickly adapted to the situation.
She even had a feeling of "the liberated serfs singing" -
In her previous life, she was a humble cat owner who was bullied by her cat every day.
After being reborn from the dead, she had a second life that was picked up by Bai Ji. Hahahaha, she actually turned into a cat.
From now on, she is the honorable cat master.
Stupid two-legged beast, just serve this Lord Cat well.
A certain immortal cultivation system: ...Restrain yourself! Middle school girl, you have to restrain yourself!
This is a book about cultivating immortals, which emphasizes decisiveness in killing and respecting strength.
You are a cat, so you’d better keep a low profile. If someone discovers the “truth”, the consequences will be unimaginable!
"Okay! If the cat doesn't like the spirit beast bag, then we won't buy it!"
"...You don't like Peiyuan Pills? Fine, I won't buy them!"
Pei Yan held Gu Qingcheng in his arms and was very good-tempered.
He and Lu Ming formed a sharp contrast——
One buys nothing, the other buys everything.
One treats the cat like a master, the other treats the kitten as a demon pet.
On the surface, it seems that Lu Ming treats his cat demon better and he is willing to spend money on the cat.
But, for some reason, everyone felt that Pei Yan seemed to be more "fond" of his own cat demon.
Because not only did Pei Yan not buy anything for the cat demon, but even when he wanted to buy some talismans or elixirs, he was "stopped" by the cat.
"Cat, you don't want me to buy this? Fine, then we won't buy it!"
Pei Yan really listened to Gu Qingcheng's words and obeyed her in everything.
Although Gu Qingcheng suppressed his cultivation and was only a low-level monster of level one or two and could not speak, he could, however, slap.
Pei Yan's fair face had several red "plum blossom marks" on it! Lu Ming: ...What a grumpy little cat! My Baibai is the best. At least he won't beat his master!
"Brother Pei——"
Are you sure you don't want to buy anything?
Lu Ming couldn't stand Gu Qingcheng's "being arrogant because of her favor", but most importantly, he was worried that Pei Yan would not be prepared and would encounter trouble once he entered the Blood Mist Demon Forest.
He and Pei Yan are partners in "treasure hunting" together, and he doesn't want his partner to put himself in danger because of doting on his demon pet too much before obtaining the spiritual herbs.
"It doesn't matter! I don't need these anyway!" What's more, my cat doesn't like them! When Pei Yan treated Lu Ming, he returned to his original "no worries".
Lu Ming: ...This guy is really strange. Did he have a very tragic childhood? Why doesn't he care about anything?
Was it because he was seriously injured? Or was it because he hated everything by nature? Lu Ming was secretly puzzled. He did not show any sign of it, and did not continue to persuade Pei Yan.
We are all adults and should be responsible for our own choices.
I am just Pei Yan's friend, not his biological father or master, so it is impossible for me to persuade him with earnest words and at the risk of my life.
The two of them were not even close friends, so they had to be careful when dating! Besides, although he tried his best to make friends with Pei Yan, this kind of thing also required "fate".
If Pei Yan was too conceited and lost his life as a result, it would only prove that he and himself were not the same kind of people.
Once lost, it’s lost!
Nothing to regret!
Lu Ming is so clear-headed, and he treats his relatives, fellow disciples, etc. in the same way.
The saying "high emotional intelligence" means that he knows how to "respect".
The low EQ explanation is that he “doesn’t love enough”.
Because caring too much will make you confused, but not loving enough will make you rational and calm.
The white kitten curled up in Lu Ming's arms didn't think too much, but just felt that the orange cat opposite was quite capable.
Alas, I just hope it doesn’t make its owner “dead”! …
After wandering around the Treasure Pavilion for a long time, Lu Ming returned with a lot of things, but Pei Yan bought nothing.
The two returned to the inn that Lu Ming had booked, rested for a night, and then left the city together early the next morning.
After leaving Blood Demon City, Lu Ming took out a flying spirit boat from his storage bag.
This is the flying magic weapon given to Lu Ming by his parents, a rare earth-level magic weapon.
Not only can it fly in the air, but it also has a defensive magic array engraved on it.
It can withstand three attacks from ancestors below the Spiritualization Stage! In the Xizhou Continent, where the overall level of cultivation is not high, this is definitely a life-saving artifact.
The flying spirit boat, which was about an inch long, looked extremely delicate and small. Lu Ming threw it casually and poured spiritual power into it.
The spirit boat instantly grew larger in mid-air and hovered steadily.
“Brother Pei, please!”
Lu Ming stepped on the ground and flew into the air.
He stood steadily on the spirit boat and looked down at Pei Yan and extended an invitation.
“No need!”
Pei Yan refused.
It is true that his parents did not give him high-level magical weapons, but he had his own cultivation.
Pei Yan held the kitten in one hand and put the other hand behind his back. He activated his spiritual power and his whole body "floated" up.
He "stood" directly next to the flying spirit boat and "ran side by side" with Lu Ming.
Lu Ming moved his lips. He wanted to advise him: Brother Pei, you don't have to do this! Spiritual power is used to defend against enemies, not to be "wasted".
Pei Yan didn't even buy talismans or elixirs. If his spiritual power was exhausted due to flying, how would he deal with all the dangers in the Blood Mist Demon Forest? This was no longer just a matter of arrogance, but, but -
Inexplicably, Lu Ming felt a little regretful: Did I rashly form an alliance with Pei Yan and make a bad move? Realizing this, Lu Ming swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Well then!
It is difficult to persuade a ghost who is about to die with kind words.
This time, I can observe more and see if there is any problem with my choice! Lu Ming did not persuade him again, and Pei Yan naturally did not interact with him.
One person stood on the spirit boat, and the other was suspended in the air.
After determining the position, the two rushed towards the dense forest where blood was rising into the sky.
Lu Ming’s spirit boat is a high-level magical weapon. As long as there are enough spirit stones, it can move forward at a high speed.
Lu Ming held his breath secretly and did not control his speed.
He is a wealthy dog owner and basically has no shortage of spirit stones.
After placing a few medium-quality spirit stones into the slot of the spirit boat, the spirit boat flew away as fast as an arrow.
Lu Ming: ...At this speed, can Pei Yan keep up?
Pei Yan: ...What do you think!
No matter how fast Lu Ming's spirit boat flew, he could always catch a glimpse of a white figure not far away! Lu Ming: ...Is this person really only at the ninth level of foundation building? ...
After flying for a long time, the two finally arrived above the Blood Mist Demon Forest.
Before he even entered, just from looking outside, Lu Ming felt very uncomfortable.
In addition to the roars of monsters coming from the dense forest, the thick blood-red fog that permeates the forest also makes people instinctively repel and even fear it.
"Brother Pei? Let's go down."
"good!"
Lu Ming put away the spirit boat and entered the dense forest with Pei Yan.
As soon as the two walked in, they seemed to be enveloped by thick and sticky blood mist, and their five senses seemed to be blocked.
“Ouch~”
Or maybe the little white cat in the spirit beast bag sensed something keenly and quickly raised a warning.
Hearing the urgent cry of his kitten, Lu Ming had an idea and quickly drew out his life-threatening weapon, slashing left and right around him!
Poof~ He actually stabbed a sneak attacking two-headed monster bird.
The level of this two-headed demon bird is not high, only level three.
However, it was hiding in the blood mist and launching a sneak attack. If the little white cat had not warned us in time, it might have succeeded.
Lu Ming was very happy and released the kitten from the spirit beast bag, "Xiaobai, you are amazing!"
When saying this, whether intentionally or not, Lu Ming actually looked at Pei Yan and the little orange cat in his arms.
Gu Qingcheng: ...What are you looking at? Are you treating me as a control group?
PS: Hehe, a 6,000-word chapter should be considered a three-in-one, right? #^_^#
