Chapter 52
==================
Xie Tingyun rubbed his face which was pinched so hard that it hurt, sighed softly, and said, "I value my life more than you do, don't worry."
He still has someone he cares about, so he can't give up easily.
I don't believe it at all.
Ning Shen said in a sinister tone: "You are right."
Xie Tingyun: "..."
Ning Chen had just stuffed a bunch of pills into Xie Tingyun's mouth, including hemostatic pills, soul-replenishing pills, flesh-and-bone pills to heal fatal injuries, and self-locking pills to block pain. Xie Tingyun was now able to move freely, and his face finally looked no longer like a dead person.
Except for the self-locking pill which is 5 points, each of the other pills is 6 points, and all together it costs 23 points.
However, since Ning Chen got the new 200 points, compared with the current prices, it is still worth spending some points to exchange for emergency pills to save people.
But this doesn't mean Ning Chen can tolerate the person he rescued ruining the life he saved!
Ning Chen stared at Xie Tingyun and said in a low voice, "Listen, your life is at least half mine, right? If you want to die without permission, you have to ask my permission."
"Okay, okay," Xie Tingyun said helplessly, "I won't die, I won't die. I cherish my life and will never seek death again. If I promise you this, can you believe me once?"
Ning Chen snorted coldly.
Xie Tingyun asked: "So you brought the human race's elixir?"
Ning Chen said, "I stole it from your storage ring."
Xie Tingyun: "..."
Xie Tingyun didn't quite believe it. It was the same thing in the Nuwa Secret Realm before. Xie Tingyun thought that the pills he brought with him took effect. But later he thought that for a pill to be able to heal most injuries so quickly, it must be at least a fourth or fifth level pill, and there must be more than one. It was not the effect that the emergency pills in his storage ring could bring.
Xie Tingyun thought of the last time Ning Chen was like this in Pingjing Village, so he didn't ask why Ning Chen had elixirs that could heal humans on him.
After all, Tian Xiao would definitely not admit it, so let's just assume that Xie Tingyun was just being wishful thinking.
He enjoys being sentimental.
Xie Tingyun slowed down his voice and said softly, "Tianxiao, thank you."
Ning Chen was busy looking around, and when he heard that, he said coldly, "You know how to thank me, but you don't know how to cherish your life."
Xie Tingyun: "..."
Xie Tingyun pinched his eyebrows, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "I am serious, I am not lying to you."
But Tianxiao obviously didn't believe it.
Perhaps actions are the only way to prove his point, otherwise Xie Tingyun will never be able to get rid of the label of someone who doesn't care about his life.
Xie Tingyun hid the jade talisman behind his body and showed it to Ning Chen. In fact, he did not expect that Ning Chen would bring him along.
After all, it was not a fatal injury. If Xie Tingyun stayed where he was, he would be taken back by the elders of the sect and his life would not be in danger. But Ning Chen actually captured him as well.
The jade talisman can be used to teleport to a place within a thousand miles, and the user needs to choose the destination himself.
If Xie Tingyun had not exhausted his spiritual power at that time, he would never have let Tian Xiao take the helm.
Xie Tingyun watched Tianxiao take a few steps outside, look around for a few times, and then start to send out messages with an expressionless face. He knew that Tianxiao probably didn't recognize the road now, and he had to ask someone to come and take him away.
Xie Tingyun's thoughts drifted far away.
I don’t know if Lord Demon usually returns to the Demon Realm like this. I must capture a lucky subordinate to take him back.
The place where the two people were was a desert. There was no one around and it was just a vast expanse of yellow sand. They had no idea which direction to go.
Xie Tingyun sighed silently. Fortunately, he still had a backup plan.
He stood up and walked towards Ning Chen, holding another jade talisman in his hand, and said, "Send you back to the demon world?"
Ning Chen was a little surprised and said, "How come you still have some?"
I took it from my fellow junior brothers and sisters when I passed by them.
There were only a few pieces of the Jade Talismans that the master had urgently refined overnight, and now they were all in Xie Tingyun's hands.
Ning Chen really didn't know the way, and Xie Tingyun knew he had no idea where to go, so Ning Chen didn't refuse. He just said, "If your master knew that this jade talisman was used to help me escape and return to the demon world, he would be so angry that he would die."
Xie Tingyun began to inject spiritual energy into the jade talisman, selected the location of the Demon Palace in the Demon Realm, and said calmly, "Yes."
Ning Chen was satisfied.
That old fashioned guy is so pissed off.
Ning Chen realized at this moment that Xie Tingyun was abducted by him as a hostage. He frowned and said, "Then how are you going to explain it when you go back?"
Xie Tingyun smiled and said, "Master Demon, do you still worry about others?"
"..." Ning Chen stared at him expressionlessly.
Xie Tingyun quietly hid his smile, coughed lightly, and compromised without saying anything.
He said slowly, "Don't worry. I will say that I deliberately acted for the Demon Lord to see. I said and did this to gain the trust of the righteous. If the Demon Lord is ambushed by the righteous in the future, I can become his pawn and destroy the plan, and inform the Demon Lord."
"Besides, with my level of cultivation, the Demon Lord cannot kill me. Instead of killing me now, it is better to let me go. We will still be enemies to the death. When the Demon Lord escapes from death, no one will think that it was me who did it."
Ning Chen said incredulously: "No, they wouldn't believe you if they had any brains, right?"
Xie Tingyun sighed, "Tianxiao, sometimes it doesn't matter whether they really believe it or not. What matters is that they can't find any evidence, so they can only pretend to believe it - and they can't beat me. Some people don't even have as much say as I do."
Ning Chen: “…”
Ning Chen was so shocked that he became speechless.
What a double undercover agent!
Xie Tingyun pretended that his relationship with Ning Chen had eased, then turned around and told Zhengdao that he was just pretending, and he instead went all out to hunt down the Demon Lord.
When he was chasing Ning Chen, he pretended to let him go and told Ning Chen that he did it to help Ning Chen escape and to establish a good image in front of the righteous.
He turned around and told Zhengdao that he was pretending just to relax Ning Shen's vigilance and prevent him from killing himself.
ah?!!
Ning Shen's scalp was tingling.
Ning Shen almost fainted just from trying to sort out all the logic.
Ning Chen was a little incoherent: "You, this lord... No, are you sincere?"
Xie Tingyun laughed instead: "What kind of sincerity are you talking about, Master Demon? To whom?"
Nonsense, that's of course directed at Ning Chen!
Xie Tingyun seemed to understand that Ning Chen enjoyed capturing and threatening people when he had nothing to do.
After laughing, Xie Tingyun said softly: "Of course I said this on purpose in front of the righteous, Lord Demon."
Ning Chen: “…”
It’s over. Ning Chen didn’t dare to believe a single word.
Xie Tingyun smiled, stuffed the jade talisman into Ning Chen's hand, and stuffed a ball of spiritual power into him, saying, "Let's go."
Before Ning Chen could react, demonic energy emerged from his fingertips, engulfing Xie Tingyun's spiritual power and began to absorb it.
Ning Chen: “…”
Ning Chen didn't really want to admit that he was actually chewing on other people's spiritual power like a hungry ghost. When he tried to stop his evil spirit, the spiritual power that Xie Tingyun fed him had already been completely devoured.
Ning Chen almost exploded: "No... Why are you so skilled?!"
Xie Tingyun looked innocent and smiled, "Is there any problem?"
Ning Shen took a few deep breaths, changed the subject abruptly, stared at Xie Tingyun and said, "You won't get hurt again this time!"
After receiving Xie Tingyun's firm confirmation, Ning Chen left with peace of mind.
Pills cannot heal all injuries, so Ning Chen went back to soak in the blood pool. After a few days, when Xie Tingyun had recovered, he would go to the house and beat up those righteous people one by one to stretch their muscles, and then drag Xie Tingyun out to fight with him.
Perfect!
After sending Ning Chen back, Xie Tingyun packed up and prepared to go back.
Just after seeing Ning Chen off and Xie Tingyun was about to leave, he saw Agui rushing here without stopping. He rested for a while, panting, and looked around as if looking for someone.
Xie Tingyun understood and said, "Go back to the Demon Realm to find him. He just left and probably forgot about it and didn't have time to contact you."
"The jade talisman may have a slight deviation when it is transmitted. If he can't find the way, I need you to lead him back."
A Kui said "Oh" and then answered honestly, "Okay."
He recognized Xie Tingyun. Not only was he the Holy Son of the Human Race, but also their Lord had warned him that only the Lord could touch him.
Anyone who can be valued so much by His Majesty must be an important person to His Majesty, and Xie Tingyun's tone is so familiar, he would not lie to him.
Anyway, even if he was deceived, Agui could just come back to pick him up again. In the end, it wasn't a big deal.
So Agui even said respectfully: "Thank you very much, Agui goodbye."
"Okay, no problem," Xie Tingyun nodded politely and said, "Goodbye."
Poor Aqui, he missed twice.
After Ning Chen returned to the demon world, he stayed calm for a long time.
Anyway, he felt that Xie Tingyun would not lie to him.
...Not necessarily.
Who knows, maybe your intuition is wrong?
Ning Chen was almost confused again.
He hated these complicated and intriguing things the most. He always believed that a fight would solve any problem. If one fight didn't solve the problem, he would fight twice until he defeated the opponent.
Ning Chen looked at the wounds on his body and thought that he was not going to die anyway, so he might as well go out and find something to eat.
But if he wanted to go out and find food, he had to find Aqui. But wasn't Aqui just called by him to that barren desert where there was nothing?
Ning Chen described the surrounding scene to Agui at that time, and he estimated that they were all there now.
Ning Chen then began to shamelessly call out to A Kui again: "A Kui, go back to the demon world and go out with me."
However, before the message was sent out for long, Agui had already arrived outside the Demon Palace. He knelt respectfully outside and asked, "Your Majesty, shall we leave now?"
Ning Chen was surprised: "Why are you so fast?"
He used a jade talisman from Xie Tingyun to send it back, but Agui doesn't have that!
A Kui thought that Saint Xie was a really good man and he really hadn't lied to him, so he said, "It was Saint Xie who told A Kui that you had returned to the Demon Palace. He said that the jade talisman might have been misdirected, so he asked A Kui to come back and pick you up."
“…”
Ning Chen felt as if his heart was gently tickled by a cat's paw, and he felt inexplicably itchy.
