Chapter 332 Half-Demon Fox's Black Moonlight Monk 33
At night, the moonlight flickered beneath the cover of dark clouds, like a shy fairy hiding her face, peeking into the tranquility of the world. The sound of footsteps broke the stillness of the night, coming from far away and gradually becoming clearer.
Not long after, the door of the room was pushed open suddenly, and the sound of the door hinge turning was particularly loud in the quiet night.
Qiao Nangen was meditating on a cushion. He slowly opened his eyes and said in a calm voice, "You're here."
Cui Xiang walked into the room, the candlelight dancing on his face, reflecting his angry expression, "There is such a powerful person on your peak, why didn't you tell me earlier!"
Qiao Nangen stood up and asked, "If I tell you, will you listen?"
Cui Xiang: "..."
He really doesn't seem to be listening.
But thinking of the aura emanating from that man, Cui Xiang couldn't help but complain, "I really don't know what you were thinking, bringing someone like that back home."
Qiao Nangen chuckled, "Do you think I would?"
Cui Xiang said unhappily, "What should we do now?"
Qiao Nangen shook his head and sighed, "Since you can't beat him, you have no choice but to go along with him."
Cui Xiang frowned and hesitated for a long time. Letting Shen Xinran go back meant that no one would help him forge his immortal weapon, and it would most likely fail again. But if he didn't let her go, he couldn't bear the man's anger.
After waking up, Shen Xinran had breakfast and went to the weapon refining hall. Just as she picked up the hammer, she saw Cui Xiang coming over. She smiled at Cui Xiang and said, "Elder Cui, good morning."
But Cui Xiang frowned at her and said, "I've thought about it carefully. You're a girl, and your strength is so weak. You're not suitable for refining weapons. You should return to the Eleventh Peak and be a medical practitioner!"
Shen Xinran's eyes widened as he questioned, "Elder Cui, didn't you say the same thing yesterday?"
Cui Xiang blushed and coughed, because after much thought, he still felt that his own life was more important. There's a saying in the mortal world: "As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood."
Shen Xinran narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Cui Xiang with a scrutinizing look, "You haven't been threatened by someone, have you?"
Cui Xiang quickly waved his hands, "No, no, I just think you are not suitable to stay in the Twelve Peaks."
Shen Xinran understood instantly. She patted Cui Xiang on the shoulder and said seriously, "Don't be afraid. Leave this matter to me."
After Shen Xinran finished speaking, she walked out of the weapon refining hall. She returned to the Eleventh Peak and found Hu Changfeng. He was lying under a big tree between the two courtyards, basking in the sun.
Noticing her footsteps, he raised his head and smiled at her, "Junior Sister is back?"
Shen Xinran rolled up his sleeves and walked over, loudly questioning: "Did you threaten Elder Cui?"
Hu Changfeng stood up, blinked, and said innocently, "What are you talking about, Junior Sister? Why don't I understand?"
Shen Xinran gritted his teeth in anger. "Go ahead and pretend, why don't you just pretend to be dead?" "I don't care. I want to help Elder Cui refine the immortal weapon!"
But Hu Changfeng reached out his hand, patted her head, and said in a low voice, "Don't act like a spoiled child."
Shen Xinran's eyes widened. Who was acting like a spoiled brat? She was clearly angry! Do you know what anger is? Her eyes were like two small craters, all red.
After Hu Changfeng helped Shen Xinran remove the weeds from his hair, he continued, "It's not impossible for you to continue refining weapons at the Twelve Peaks, but you have to come back and stay every night."
Shen Xinran frowned and subconsciously retorted: "Why? I can live wherever I want."
Hu Changfeng smiled lightly, "I'm also thinking about my little sister. After all, she always forgets to practice when she's refining weapons."
Shen Xinran fell silent. Damn it, isn't it just to take advantage of her spiritual energy? And he said it so pretentiously.
Cui Xiang had been waiting in the weapon refining hall. When he saw Shen Xinran coming back, he immediately went up to him and asked, "Are you okay?"
Shen Xinran waved his hand, "Don't worry, I've already made an agreement with him. I can continue to help you refine the weapon."
After hearing Shen Xinran's words, Cui Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, "But... what is your relationship with him?"
Shen Xinran gritted his teeth and said, "The relationship between master and pet!"
Cui Xiang asked tentatively: "Are you a pet?"
Shen Xinran's eyes widened as he retorted, "I am the master!"
Cui Xiang: "...Okay, as long as you are happy."
As night fell, Shen Xinran returned to her residence on the 11th Peak under the dim moonlight. She had thought Hu Changfeng had gone to bed, but he was still under the big tree, as if waiting for her.
Shen Xinran's heart tightened, but she just snorted coldly. She didn't stop and walked straight to her room. But as soon as her hand touched the door, Hu Changfeng stood up and said in a soft voice, "Since the junior sister is back, let's practice!"
Shen Xinran raised his chin, "It's too late today, I don't want to practice."
This is also the reason why she came back so late. She only agreed to come back to sleep, but did not agree to come back to practice.
Hu Changfeng seemed to have anticipated her answer and did not make it too difficult. He just nodded slightly and turned away.
In the moonlight, his shadow was stretched out very long, looking a little lonely. Shen Xinran saw it and felt a little sad. But when she thought of what Hu Changfeng had done, she no longer felt soft-hearted.
At this moment, a stone-like object fell from Hu Changfeng's sleeve. It reflected a ray of light under the moonlight, attracting Shen Xinran's attention.
Shen Xinran was full of curiosity. After Hu Changfeng returned to his residence, she walked up and picked up the stone.
To her surprise, this was not an ordinary stone, but a ring with a unique shape.
She fumbled with the ring curiously, and touched some mechanism. Shen Xinran suddenly felt dizzy, and then found herself teleported to a place like an attic.
Could this be the internal space of the ring?
Shen Xinran walked around here and saw that the shelves around him were filled with magical herbs, various rare antiques and spiritual treasures.
Shen Xinran snorted coldly. The male protagonist had previously said that all his magic herbs were gone. Now it seemed that none of his words were true. But she had to admit, she really wanted to own a ring like this!
…
The first ray of sunlight in the morning shone through the gap in the curtains. Chen Xinran stretched lazily in the house and rubbed his sleepy eyes.
She tiptoed to the door, opened it a crack, and peeked in. After making sure no one was around, she cautiously stepped out of the room.
However, just as she was about to close the door, Hu Changfeng's voice suddenly came from behind her, "Where are you going, little sister?"
Shen Xinran was startled by the sudden greeting. She turned around suddenly and saw Hu Changfeng standing at the door of his residence, smiling and staring at her intently.
Shen Xinran couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. She forced a smile and replied, "Go to the Twelve Peaks to help Elder Cui refine the weapon."
Hu Changfeng nodded. "I dropped a ring while watching the moon last night. I wonder if Junior Sister saw it?"
Shen Xinran was extremely reluctant to let go. She gritted her teeth and took out the ring. "I found this last night. Since it's yours, you can take it back."
