Chapter 30 The White Moonlight Kills the Male and Female Protagonists (30)
As a result, after she was tied up, Canglan, who was holding the whip, showed no mercy and struck her hard, whipping her a full five hundred times!
Meng Ling cried out repeatedly, but he couldn't stop her.
When the flogging finally ended, Canglan threw away the whip, and the pent-up anger in his heart finally eased a little.
He stared coldly at Meng Ling, his mind filled with the humiliating scene he had witnessed at the birthday banquet earlier that day.
And all of this is because of what Meng Ling said!
Not only did she harm herself, she also dragged him down with her!
"These five hundred lashes are to let you know how dangerous it is outside Kunlun. You can't just say whatever you want."
Find Jin Shu within three days, or even I cannot protect you!
Ignoring her injuries, Meng Ling, sobbing, was helped down to the mortal realm by Jing Ye Lian Xin.
As for Canglan, the first thing he did after returning to the palace was to search for Jin Shu's whereabouts.
He had a vague feeling that Jin Shu would be a menace sooner or later.
This feeling grew stronger.
Finding her was no easy task, so Canglan calmed himself down and searched along the surrounding mountains and seas, piece by piece.
Once he finds her, he intends to imprison Jin Shu forever.
Such a traitor must be dealt with by him personally!
——
Night fell, and all was quiet.
At midnight, Jin Shu walked out unhurriedly from a corner of the Kunlun Mountains and went directly to Canglan's palace.
He searched all day and used up a lot of his spiritual energy.
Unfortunately, he didn't expect that Jin Shu had never left Kunlun, or even left the mountain.
Even if Canglan searched until he went blind, he still wouldn't be able to find Jin Shu's whereabouts.
This is the last time Jin Shu has come back.
So she didn't hesitate to plunder all the spiritual energy on the mountain, and incidentally smashed the spatial jade stone of Canglan.
Jin Shu had wanted to do this before, but her cultivation level was too limited to break the jade stone.
But things are different now; she now possesses spiritual power.
If the jade is broken, there are only two ways to get the contents out.
Alternatively, kill Canglan, and the jade will shatter automatically, allowing the contents to belong to someone else.
Or, like now, take a drop of blood from Canglan and press it onto the shattered jade.
The next second, a burst of spiritual light appeared, followed by countless magical artifacts and treasures scattered all over the ground.
Among them are many magical artifacts left behind by Emperor Hao.
Without hesitation, Jin Shu waved her hand and put everything into her own space.
Now Canglan has lost everything of value.
He took everything that belonged to her, and the rest was his compensation.
Jin Shu was in a good mood and went straight to the mortal world, carried by the evening breeze.
——
The bustling streets were filled with the cries of vendors.
Everyone wore a simple, honest smile. Meng Ling wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt that the world before her was somehow different from the one she used to know.
She spent two years in the celestial realm, and now more than a decade has passed in the mortal world.
"The mortal world has changed so much. When I left, there weren't so many people here."
Returning to this familiar place, Meng Ling felt a faint sense of contempt for no apparent reason.
Humans live only a few decades, and for those few decades, they toil day and night, living a meaningless life like ants.
It's laughable and pathetic that they would fight tooth and nail for such trivial gains.
Jingye stayed by Mengling's side.
"Let's not linger here any longer, let's head straight to the Demon Realm."
Meng Ling, however, looked toward a wonton stall not far away.
"I haven't had any wontons yet, have a bowl of wontons before you go."
Lianxin frowned.
"We don't need to eat these things from mortals, time is of the essence..."
"Senior brother, the owner of this wonton stall is my former adoptive father."
Upon hearing this, Lianxin had nothing more to say, so she sat down with him.
"Boss, three bowls of wontons, please."
The woman who was busy outside came over and called out.
"Three bowls of wontons, a total of fifteen coins."
Fifteen coins? That's expensive!
The woman looked at the three of them and smiled.
"Just by looking at your clothes, I can tell you three are distinguished people. Fifteen coins is certainly nothing to you three."
Meng Ling kept a straight face.
"It doesn't matter who the three of us are, what matters is that your wontons aren't worth that much money."
Upon hearing this, the woman's eyebrows immediately furrowed.
"Everyone in the surrounding villages knows that my wontons are good. Fifteen coins is very cheap. Why do you say they're not worth it?"
You don't have to eat there; if you think it's too expensive, go somewhere else.
The woman's arrogant attitude directly angered Meng Ling.
How dare a mere mortal, who only cares about a few taels of silver day and night, speak to a guest like this?
I don't know whether to call her stupid or blind.
"Take what you owe us, the exact amount. You're bullying us outsiders, what will happen to you?"
The woman looked down at them, her eyes showing not panic or fear, but even a hint of impatience.
"You're here to cause trouble? You can't even afford fifteen coins for wontons, and you won't leave even after we told you to. What? You want to dine and dash?"
Meng Ling glanced at Jing Ye and Lian Xin beside her and shook her head helplessly.
"Senior brother, if it were anyone else today, they would definitely have had to suffer this in silence."
Lianxin was about to say not to make a fuss, but before she could finish speaking, Meng Ling raised her hand and cleaved the table in two.
The wontons were spilled all over the floor.
Upon seeing this, the woman's expression immediately changed, and she stared coldly at the surging aura emanating from them.
"Are you trying to cause trouble?"
Meng Ling remained calm and indifferent.
"A bowl of wontons costs one coin, but you're selling them to us for five coins. It's because there are so many cunning and dishonest vendors like you that the world has become such a mess!"
The woman was clearly furious and turned around to shout into the house.
"Honey!! Someone ate without paying and even knocked over our table and bowls!"
Meng Ling sneered.
This woman was her former sister, who was also her adoptive father's biological daughter.
Meng Ling lived under someone else's roof and suffered a lot of disdain from this older sister.
Now that she's back, this woman has become arrogant and domineering.
Running such a useless wonton stall and still daring to develop such an arrogant attitude, they really haven't learned their lesson!
Just then, the door to the room was suddenly opened, and a powerful surge of spiritual energy rushed out of the room, knocking the unsuspecting Meng Ling to the ground.
Jingye and Lianxin reacted quickly; one helped Mengling up while the other blocked the doorway, drawing their swords and watching the man emerge from the room.
Meng Ling fell to the ground, her eyes wide with surprise. She never expected that there would be people who cultivated spiritual energy in the mortal realm!
Upon seeing the person's appearance clearly, Meng Ling felt her breath catch in her throat.
This man is none other than her former brother-in-law.
How could a dull, honest, and useless mortal possibly have the ability to cultivate spiritual power?
Meng Ling was furious.
If she hadn't just been punished by her master with five hundred lashes and couldn't use her spiritual power, she would definitely have made that man's head roll!
"Do you really think we're easy to bully?!"
The man and Lianxin fought for more than a dozen moves before Lianxin finally sent him flying.
