Chapter 12 Giving Birth to Feng Jingluo
Finally, Yun Ruchen answered the call. The token was suspended in the air, a dazzling light flashed, and a figure appeared. It was Yun Jing, who looked very excited. "I just want you and Feng Jingluo to go down the mountain to train, and cultivate your relationship by the way." He pointed at Yun Ruchen with a trembling finger, "You are so good! One hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones!" Even if he was the leader of the Wentian Sect, he couldn't just offer a reward of one hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones. The elders would not agree. His son was really amazing. His worth increased by one hundred thousand in one day after going down the mountain! Yun Jing pressed his philtrum. "I thought you were just lazy, but I didn't expect my son to be a troublemaker." "You actually have the ability to make people spend a lot of money!" Yun Ruchen opened his mouth, wanting to remind his father that Feng Jingluo was right behind him. Yun Jing raised her voice. "Now the news has reached us. The Qinzhou branch sent me the news this morning. I've read it over and over again, and I still can't believe it." Yun Jing slapped his forehead. "One hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones? You're going to have to pay even my own private treasury." Ying Yueke pushed her husband aside and leaned closer to the virtual screen. "My son, at this point, even the sect can barely come up with that much spirit stone to compensate Feng Jingluo." She sighed, unsure whether to be shocked by Feng Jingluo's wealth or by her son's ability to bring disaster to his family. "How about this," she held out a pill. "I have a foreign body pill here. Give Feng Jingluo a child!" Her words stunned everyone. Yun Ruchen's face darkened. He quickly hung up the call, stashed the token in his storage ring, and refused to answer any further calls. Jiang Chen lowered his head, his shoulders heaving. Xu Mobai looked up at the sky, marveling at its sea-blueness. The white jade singer tightened her sleeves, her knuckles cracking. Yun Ruchen cupped her hand against her forehead, hiding the blush on her face. Feng Jingluo belatedly realized, "What child?" A burst of laughter erupted, and Jiang Chen, unable to contain himself, clutched his stomach and rolled back in laughter. Xu Mobai also covered his mouth with his hands, his body shaking with laughter. Feng Jingluo looked displeased. She didn't see anything funny about it, and instead solemnly tried to comfort Yun Ruchen. "This is my own subjective decision; it has nothing to do with Ruchen. You don't have to care about the Sect Master or the Elders." She added, "I don't need the Young Sect Master to bear me a child." She wouldn't leave any offspring. Yun Ruchen glanced at her, wanting to speak more, but hesitated. His eyes seemed to be red too, moist as a rushing river. He apologized, stood up, and hurried back inside, closing the door behind him. He listened to even more laughter outside, shaking his head and smiling bitterly. He was truly embarrassed to death in front of everyone. By now, most of the cultivators in the inner city had gone...
In the end, Yun Ruchen answered the call.
The token was suspended in the air, flashing a dazzling light, and a figure appeared.
It was Yunjing who looked excited.
"I just want you and Feng Jingluo to go down the mountain to train and cultivate your relationship."
He pointed at Yun Ruchen with a trembling finger, "You're so good! One hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones!"
Even if he is the leader of the Wentian Sect, he cannot casually offer a reward of 100,000 high-grade spirit stones, and the elders will not agree.
His son is quite capable. His net worth increased by 100,000 in one day after he came down the mountain!
Yun Jing pressed his philtrum. "I thought you were just lazy, but I didn't expect my son to be such a troublemaker."
"He actually has the ability to make people spend a fortune!"
Yun Ruchen opened his mouth, wanting to remind his father that Feng Jingluo was right behind him.
Yun Jing raised his voice, "Now the news has reached us. The Qinzhou branch sent us the news early this morning. I read it over and over again and still can't believe it."
Yun Jing slapped his forehead and said, "One hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones! You're going to lose even my father's private vault."
Ying Yueke pushed her husband away and approached the empty screen, "My son, at this point it's difficult for the sect to come up with so many spirit stones to compensate Feng Jingluo."
She sighed, not knowing whether to be shocked by Feng Jingluo's wealth or by her son's ability to bring disaster upon himself.
"How about this." She took out a pill. "I have a foreign body pill here. You can give Feng Jingluo a child!"
Everyone was stunned when he said this.
Yun Ruchen's face darkened, he quickly hung up the phone, put the token into the storage ring, and refused to answer any calls.
Jiang Chen lowered his head and shrugged his shoulders.
Xu Mobai looked up at the sky and sighed that it was as blue as the sea.
The white jade singer tightened her sleeves, making her joints crack.
Yun Ruchen held his forehead with his palm to hide the blush on his face.
Feng Jingluo realized belatedly: "What child?"
A burst of laughter rang out, and Jiang Chen couldn't hold it in any longer. He covered his stomach and laughed so hard that he fell backwards.
Xu Mobai also covered his mouth and laughed so hard that his body trembled.
Feng Jingluo looked unhappy. She didn't see anything worth laughing about, and instead tried to comfort Yun Ruchen seriously.
"This is something I wanted to do subjectively, and has nothing to do with Ruchen. You don't have to pay attention to what the Sect Master and the Elders say."
She added, "I don't need the young master to give birth to a child for me." She would not leave any offspring.
After saying this, Yun Ruchen glanced at her, wanting to speak but hesitant. His eyes seemed to be red, as moist as a rushing river of spring water.
He said sorry, stood up and said goodbye, hurried back into the house and closed the door. He listened to the even more unbridled laughter outside and shook his head with a bitter smile.
I really want to embarrass him to death in front of others.
Now, most of the cultivators in the inner city have gone to the Qinzhou Mountains. The cultivators with lower realms go in groups, while the cultivators with higher realms go alone.
When a few people came out at lunchtime, there were few people on the street.
Feng Jingluo thought about going to the inner city mission hall after dinner to see if there were any easy tasks suitable for Yun Ruchen to take on.
Several people went to Mingluan Tower, the best restaurant in the city.
After being warmly greeted by the waiter, he entered the second floor and sat down by the window. Soon, a handsome man came over and handed Feng Jingluo the menu.
Feng Jingluo handed it to Yun Ruchen casually.
The man paused his smile and turned to Yun Ruchen.
After recording the dish he ordered, the menu was handed to Jiang Chen, and she ordered a few of her favorite dishes without hesitation. When it came to Xu Mobai, he ordered all the dishes he had never eaten.
Only Bai Yuge and Yun Ruchen ordered the same side dish.
The man took the menu and left, carrying the tea to the table. "The meal will be ready soon. This is the new tea from Mingluan Tower. Please enjoy it."
For some reason, his smile was always directed towards Feng Jingluo.
Unfortunately, she threw her seductive glances at a blind man, and Feng Jingluo was distracted, looking at the sparse figures outside the window.
After the man left, Xu Mobai poured tea and tasted it, sighing: "The tea is okay, but the peacock's feathers are too bright and annoying."
"Brother Yun, you're in trouble."
Xu Mobai glanced at Bai Yuge. He was teasing Yun Ruchen, but the person next to him got angry.
"Why is it so hot in the restaurant today?" The man at the table across from me opened his shirt, revealing his full chest muscles, and fanned himself.
Then a few more people opened their collars, each with their own unique style at first glance.
Jiang Chen's mouth twitched. Where did these ducks come from?
"After all, money can move people's hearts. Feng Jingluo has many people eyeing your little husband's position."
Feng Jingluo turned around and glanced at the people in revealing clothes. When he looked away, his face still had no expression.
It looked like seeing a few fallen leaves.
Bai Yuge relaxed. This was the Feng Jingluo he knew, so cold and indifferent that nothing caught her eye. Like a bird he could never catch, he didn't seek to walk alongside it. But when the bird was ready to land, that person...why couldn't it be him?
Qinzhou Mountains
When Meng Fu saw a strong sword energy rising near the palace, he knew that something was seriously wrong.
He simply abandoned the Lanyu Palace and moved the small formation several times until he could no longer feel the oppressive murderous aura, and then he found a cave to hide in.
Just as they were wondering whether some disciples from a large sect would take up the task of strangling them, the crowd that went up the mountain early in the morning conducted a carpet search for any evil cultivators in the mountains.
There were also a few people who were on good terms with him, and they sent messages to tell him the whole story.
Meng Fu crushed the token and punched the ground in anger. If that beggar had not died, he would have ground him to ashes!
He was blind and dared not catch anyone to hand over to him. Now he is in huge trouble.
Meng Fu felt a chill run through his body. As the fighting intensified, more and more evil cultivators would learn the whole story. Even without the cultivators coming to hunt him down, those evil cultivators would be eager to cut him into pieces.
Now that there is an endless stream of monks pouring into the mountains, his head is considered to be the highest price, and he cannot escape even if he wants to.
Meng Fu's face was twisted in fear and shock, anger swallowing up his fear. If he couldn't live well, then no one else could live.
One hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones would tempt not only cultivators but also evil cultivators.
Meng Fu took out a blood-red token and passed a few words to the other party.
Mission Hall
There was only one staff member, sitting behind the counter and leisurely flipping through books.
At the top of the task board was a red-gold banner, on which hung the bounty order issued by Feng Jingluo.
Below that are a dense array of tasks.
"Before we go down the mountain, the elders want me to take the young master for training. Is there any mission that Ruchen is interested in?"
Yun Ruchen scanned the papers one by one. He was at the Foundation Establishment stage, so taking on hunting missions wasn't suitable for him. Besides, Yun Ruchen had never killed anyone before.
After thinking for a moment, he looked at a brand new piece of paper and peeled it off.
"After the auction, escort the caravan out of Qinzhou City and head to the Snow Country."
The mountain range where the Wentian Sect is located is protected by the sect's great formation. Due to the abundant spiritual energy, there are green grasses all year round, endless mountain flowers blooming, and the blue sky stretches as far as the eye can see.
Yun Ruchen has always wanted to go down the mountain for a walk, to see the white snow, the ocean with rolling waves, and the different seasons.
Jiang Chen took a look and said, "Snowfield Country? It's very far from Qinzhou City."
Tanzhou belongs to the central part, and it would take some time to travel all the way to the north from the Snowfield Kingdom, even if riding a spirit beast.
"You only have three months, and it will take a long time to go back and forth. Are you sure you want to waste it on this task?" The reward was not very high either.
His gaze shifted to Yun Ruchen, and he stared into his eyes for a moment. "There's still time."
The Xuanniao was very fast, enough to take her to the forbidden area in a short time.
Feng Jingluo made up his mind, and Jiang Chen didn't want to spoil the fun, so he just said, "I want to go too."
"I don't want any reward. I just want to go to the Snow Country to see if there are any spiritual medicines I can use."
"Then I'll go too." Xu Mobai said, "It's nothing after all."
Needless to say, Bai Yuge must go along.
After confirming their mission, they had some free time. They could have wandered around the inner city, but now it was deserted, and there was no fun in strolling around.
Everyone went back to their residence. Jiang Chen studied the recipe for the elixir, while Xu Mobai took Bai Yuge with him to go for a drink. Thinking that it would be boring for Yun Ruchen to stay, he dragged him away as well.
Feng Jingluo did not stop them. Shao Zong would be safe if he stayed with them. She also needed to practice.
He returned to his room, sat cross-legged on the bed, and clasped his hands. A black bird flew out and hovered in front of him. Feng Jingluo's consciousness entered the sword, fighting with the countless sword shadows within.
She replicated the sword tomb into the Xuanniao.
The three of them did not go to a big restaurant, but just sat down at a small stall on the corner and ordered a pot of warm wine.
Xu Mobai thought he was the youngest, so he filled the glasses for both of them.
"I've only heard of Young Master's name before, but we just met yesterday." He raised his glass. "No matter what, meeting is fate."
He drank it all in one gulp, the aroma of the wine spreading between his lips and teeth. It was fruit wine, sweet and not overpowering.
He doesn't like to get drunk and look embarrassing when he gets together with friends.
Yun Ruchen accompanied him and drank all the wine, and was not made uncomfortable by the smell of the wine.
"Because of my low realm, my mother and father wouldn't let me go down the mountain. Thanks to Feng Jingluo, I was able to walk down the mountain."
Xu Mobai waved his hand, "I won't ask Brother Yun about cultivation matters. Everyone has their own destiny. How many people in this world can become immortals? I just want to live a carefree life."
He shook the wine glass, and the vibrating wine was thrown into the void. The spiritual energy guided it and turned it into a wine dragon, which he swallowed into his mouth.
"Bai Yuge." He tapped the other person's shoulder. "Are you mute?"
"I don't like drinking."
"Boring." Xu Mobai laughed, "Why take life so seriously?"
"In this respect, you and Feng Jingluo are similar, two boring guys who only know how to practice hard."
"What does she look like?" Yun Ruchen suddenly asked.
Xu Mobai was stunned for a moment, "You don't know?" Since they were both in the Wentian Sect, how could they know something?
Yun Ruchen shook his head, "I don't like to pry into the sect's affairs."
Xu Mobai thought about it and understood. He had also heard a lot of rumors about Yun Ruchen, and there were few good things about him.
"she..."
Xu Mobai was about to speak when Bai Yuge interrupted him. "Don't say bad things about her behind her back."
"I'm telling the truth." He was speechless and turned his head away from Bai Yuge.
"Do I need to arrange her affairs?" He looked at Yun Ruchen, "I wonder how well you know her."
"Anyway, in our eyes," he raised his finger, "we are three parts crazy and seven parts cruel."
"You can tell from the fact that you were kidnapped this time." Xu Mobai glanced around and lowered his voice. "Don't be fooled by Feng Jingluo's quietness. He usually doesn't show any emotion on his face."
He pointed at himself and asked, "Why I am somewhat in awe of her."
The roof cloth was blown by the wind and swayed gently. The snow-white clouds in the sky outside the shed were blown into long cloud lines.
"I saw her with my own eyes, slaughtering people everywhere, holding that black bird, killing one person with one sword in the crowd."
"No matter if the one who attacked her was a sect's genius or a young sect leader, in the end, she was the only one standing on the cliff, with both hands on the hilt of her sword, looking down at everyone."
Xu Mobai laughed a few times and fell into memories. No one would forget such a scene after seeing it.
He placed his hand on Yun Ruchen's shoulder and said, "She once went into the Monster Mountain alone to fight her way out because of something."
“No one knows the reason yet.”
"Xu Mobai!" Bai Yuge scolded.
The latter blinked, scratched the back of his head and chuckled. "I've said too much."
He put down the wine glass and supported his chin with his fingers. The aroma of wine seemed to be lingering between his fingers, and he could smell it.
"The path of cultivation is cruel, and we must fight back even when forced to do so."
"But..." Yun Ruchen's eyes were bright, reflecting Xu Mobai's increasingly shocked face. "She must be a gentle person."
Xu Mobai: "...Ah?"
