Chapter 101
"Do you think they will go to the Corpse Puppet Sect?"
Lin Qingyang said nonchalantly: "...
After bidding farewell to the group of stone sculptures, Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang chatted as they walked.
"Do you think they will go to the Corpse Puppet Sect?"
Lin Qingyang said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter whether they go or not. I just provide them with a choice. If that old man is smart, he will definitely go. After all..."
He pursed his lips and smiled, a smile that held ill intentions. "The world of cultivation is very dangerous. These people are so unique, they might be mistaken for some 'opportunity' and be captured."
Cheng Hui: ...
No, is the world of cultivation so dangerous?
Lin Qingyang saw through his thoughts immediately and curled his lips. "Yes, the world of cultivation is so dangerous. But don't be afraid, Ah Hui. I will protect you."
Cheng Hui: ...I suspect you are lying to me, but I have no evidence.
Lin Qingyang also saw the expression of "I don't believe you" on Cheng Hui's face, and immediately: ...
He coughed dryly twice and explained, "It's mainly because they're 'alien'. You should be able to guess how difficult it is for aliens to become spirits. With a large group of aliens like them becoming spirits, would you believe that they have no chance?"
"I believe it." Cheng Hui said confidently.
Lin Qingyang turned his face away silently, that's why you are so easy to deceive...
"Hey, what does that expression of yours mean? Are you saying something bad about me?" Cheng Hui stared at Lin Qingyang suspiciously.
"No." Lin Qingyang firmly denied his idea, and at the same time explained with a bit of helplessness: "Even if you believe them, as long as there is one person who doesn't believe it, the news that they are carrying a treasure will spread more and more. Do you believe it? Then people will come to inquire, and if they don't get the results they are satisfied with, they will do whatever it takes to attack these people. It's not in vain that they say it's better to kill the wrong person than to let him go."
Cheng Hui fell silent. He tended to be kind and law-abiding, but he knew deep down that human nature was complex. What Lin Qingyang said was not just something that might happen, but something that would definitely happen.
Not to mention that they were just a group of stone sculptures, aliens. Given the saying that those who are not of our race must have different hearts, they had no way to even ask for help.
"So, if that old man is smart, he should find a backer for himself as quickly as possible, and our Corpse Puppet Sect is his best choice."
Lin Qingyang's words were not made out of thin air. Instead of taking the risk of cooperating with other people he didn't know, it would be better to find him, someone with whom he already had a certain foundation of trust.
After a rough estimate, he was 80% sure that these people would take the initiative to go to the Corpse Puppet Sect.
Of course, it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t go, he won’t suffer any great loss.
He is like the one who tries to catch the fruit without any effort.
The two walked about the distance of several passages. The floor tiles were still the square ones with patterns, and the glass on one side of the passage also had similar patterns.
Cheng Hui suspected that if he deliberately adjusted the angle, he might be able to go to other test sites.
However, one of the reasons they came here was to obtain the Map of the Hundred Beasts. In order not to break their promise, they decided to wait until they got the Map of the Hundred Beasts before deciding whether to activate the one-time teleportation array.
The roads in the black tower changed randomly. Even if they were only one step slower than Huiling and the others, they could no longer see the other party's shadow when they came out.
After walking through this passage, you will come to a small room for people to rest.
There is a small room like this every few passages. After all, going through those tests consumes physical energy. If you don't get enough rest, this Black Tower inheritance journey may end early.
Cheng Hui cleaned the space in the corner, and Lin Qingyang took out the stove and pots.
The two had discussed before that ordinary delicacies might not be able to impress Ms. Jiang, so it would be better to bring out some rarer ones.
For example...instant noodles.
Yes, in addition to various ingredients, Cheng Hui’s storage ring also contains a lot of instant noodles, the homemade kind.
It is said that all masters come from the people. Although Cheng Hui, a foodie, was not good at cooking, he really liked watching videos of how to make various snacks.
If you see more, you will become a half-expert.
He is not good at hands-on work, but he is good at talking. With Lin Qingyang, a chef who cooperates well with him, the two of them have come up with a lot of things.
Aspect is just one of them.
And because it is handmade, the ingredients are very sufficient, and the prepared oil is also particularly mellow. When boiling water is poured on the noodles, the aroma explodes instantly. Even people who are full can't help but come over to taste it, not to mention those hungry little animals.
…
…
…
Cheng Hui looked speechlessly at the little raccoon who was still reaching out to the pot of instant noodles even though he fell at the entrance of the passage, and couldn't help but twitch his lips.
The bait was so effective that before Miss Jiang arrived, a raccoon came first.
Wait…shouldn’t raccoons prefer instant noodles?
Cheng Hui fell into deep thought...
"Noodles...eat..." The little raccoon raised his head with difficulty, spit out two words and fell down again.
Cheng Hui looked at him expressionlessly, haha... don't think I don't know that you just want to act pitiful and get free food and drinks.
As a monk with sharp eyes and ears, it is not particularly difficult to judge a person's basic condition from the sound of running.
At least he had never seen someone who was so weak that he couldn't even walk, but could run all the way to the door of the lounge, then fall to the ground with a thud and crawl in with difficulty.
Raccoon: ...
Little Raccoon: …………
Little Raccoon: ………………
Does this person have any compassion at all? He's in this state, can't he just give him something to eat?
"Ah, this noodle smells really good. Come and have a bite, Qingyang, or someone will cheat you out of it later."
After listening to Cheng Hui's words, the little raccoon knew that his plan would not work, so he could only get up embarrassedly.
"Ahem... Friend, what is this? Why does it smell so good?" The little raccoon sniffed the fragrance in the air with an intoxicated expression.
"Instant noodles." Cheng Hui didn't deliberately ignore it.
"Instant noodles?" Little Raccoon repeated. He looked at the fragrant noodles and swallowed. "Um... I haven't eaten in the past few days since I came in. I wonder if I can..."
"No. This is mine. Ah Hui made it for me, and it only belongs to me." Lin Qingyang interrupted it ruthlessly.
Little Raccoon: ...Aaaaaaa! I hate naughty kids the most!
The little raccoon was laughing in his heart, but he still smiled and asked, "Then... can we exchange? I have a lot of delicious food here, look..."
As it spoke, it took out a lot of chestnuts, pine nuts, and many dried fruits and placed them on the ground, trying to exchange them with them.
Lin Qingyang immediately showed an expression of disgust.
The little raccoon rubbed his paws awkwardly. The fruits he took out were all those he could find in the wild, which were obviously not on the same level as these exquisite delicacies.
He was about to put the fruit away when he heard the man say, "Okay, I'll trade with you."
"Really?" Its eyes suddenly lit up.
Cheng Hui smiled. In fact, his instant noodles were not only a bit troublesome to make, but their actual value was not as good as these nuts.
He had been reluctant to give it to the raccoon before, mainly because he didn't like its behavior of taking advantage of other people's sympathy to get free food and drink. If it was willing to make a fair exchange, he wouldn't mind sharing some.
The little raccoon was afraid that Cheng Hui would change his mind, so he quickly pushed all the nuts to him. Cheng Hui smiled and took out a pack of instant noodles from the storage ring.
Seeing that he had no cooking tools, she was kind enough to lend him the stove and a small pot.
The little raccoon was overjoyed and immediately started to do it just as Lin Qingyang had done before. Sure enough, after a while, the same fragrance wafted out of the small pot.
“It smells so good…”
“It smells so good…”
Raccoon: ...Who?
It turned its head suddenly and was shocked to find that a slim woman in white clothes had appeared in the room without anyone noticing.
She was dressed simply, without any unnecessary decorations. Although she was a beautiful woman, she was squatting beside the raccoon in a very ungraceful manner, staring at the instant noodles in the pot.
Little Raccoon:……???
What do you want to do to my face?
The raccoon cautiously moved the pot to another position. No matter what happened to this human, this was what he had exchanged for nuts. Want to eat it? Go and exchange it yourself!
The woman in white was blocked from view by the raccoon. She slowly raised her head and looked at Cheng Hui: "Did you do this?"
Cheng Hui was also surprised at first at how this woman appeared, but he relaxed after seeing her clothes.
If he guessed correctly, this person should be the Meng Po mentioned by the woman in palace dress... Bah, bah, Jiang Nu.
"Hello, Sister Jiang. You look radiant today. Did something good happen to you?" Cheng Hui greeted with a smile.
Jiang Nu glanced at him in surprise, then smiled happily after hearing his address: "Hey, where did this zombie doll come from? It speaks so nicely."
Cheng Hui's mouth twitched.
What the hell is a zombie doll?
Although his age is no different from that of a doll compared to Jiang Nu, is it really okay for you to say that? Didn’t you say you were particularly concerned about your age?
"But... even if you talk nicely, I won't let you off the hook, okay? At most... I can relax the assessment requirements a little bit, just a little bit." Jiang Nv playfully pinched her index finger and thumb together, leaving only a thin gap in the middle to indicate 'a little bit'.
Cheng Hui smiled. His purpose was just to transfer Jiang Nu out. Now he has succeeded. As for the subsequent assessment - with Lin Qingyang there, he is really not worried at all.
"Sister Jiang, can we exchange the little bit of water you put in for a specific reward?" Cheng Hui asked tentatively.
According to the woman in palace dress, as long as you don't offend Jiang Nu due to her age or violate her taboos, Jiang Nu is quite easy to talk to.
"Hmm? What do you want?" Jiang Nu raised her eyebrows.
Not letting her add water showed that they were very confident in their cooking skills. She would have to carefully consider the abilities of these two people later.
"We want the Beast Map."
"A picture of a hundred beasts?" Jiang Nu looked a little surprised.
That thing was indeed in her hand, but compared with the other rewards she had, the Hundred Beasts Picture was really nothing. She originally thought that these two people would specifically select some expensive materials or skills.
Speaking of which... she hasn't seen humans for a long time. For nearly ten thousand years, all she saw were small animals. Now humans have finally appeared. Does that mean that she can leave here soon?
Jiang Nu's thoughts were not reflected on her face. She looked at the two men deeply, waved her hand, and the two men disappeared from the spot. Immediately afterwards, Jiang Nu also disappeared, leaving only the little raccoon who was still sucking noodles desperately, looking at the empty lounge in confusion.
Raccoon: ...
