The journey home is always much faster.
There was no auction on this ferry, and no sirens appeared.
We didn't encounter any heavy fog along the way, and everything went very smoothly.
After disembarking from the ferry and setting foot on the mainland again, Sheng Ning finally felt a sense of returning home.
On their way to the Northern Region, Sheng Ning and his companions stopped in the city of Saluo for a period of time.
The market in Saluo City was still bustling with people, with vendors and merchants from the Northern Regions and the mainland negotiating prices and making purchases.
Sheng Ning's gaze fell on a certain corner, and Su Daiyuan and the others saw her stop in the market.
I immediately followed her gaze.
"What's wrong? What are you looking at?"
Qi Wenyao saw that they were all standing still and his gaze fell on a small stall not far away. He immediately frowned.
"You want to buy spirit fruits? These stalls only have ordinary spirit fruits on display; it's not worth the money."
"If you want spirit fruits, here I have a few left. I took them from my father's private treasury."
Sheng Ning, who was still somewhat sad, immediately broke down after hearing what Qi Wenyao said.
She turned her head to look at the spiritual fruit in Qi Wenyao's hand and laughed, "You took something from your father's private treasury, won't you get a beating?"
"They're all starting to level up their alt accounts, and the future of my main account is uncertain. What's wrong with taking some good stuff to try?!"
Qi Wenyao, his neck stiff with indignation, retorted, "Besides, all I took were some treasures, a few spirit fruits, and some crystals..."
The further he went on, the weaker his self-righteous expression became.
Finally, he raised his hand to touch his nose and said awkwardly, "I left some for them."
At this very moment, far away in the northern region, Master Qi of the Qi family was covering his wife's eyes with his hands, grinning as he told her that he had a big surprise for her.
After he opened his private treasury, which he had hidden for many years and collected all kinds of treasures, it was now completely looted.
A furious roar suddenly echoed over the northern region.
"Qi-Wen-Yao-"
"You brat, when I get to the mainland, I'll give you a good beating!"
Madam Qi glanced at her husband's dwindling private savings, then smiled and patted his chest, signaling him to calm down.
"Yao'er's journey to the mainland is fraught with danger; it would be good for him to take those treasures for self-defense..."
The road ahead is fraught with difficulties. Although these parents are extremely reluctant to let go, their fate is sealed.
We can only place our hopes on the younger generation.
Hopefully they won't disappoint.
-
In the city of Saluo, Sheng Ning and his companions, who were originally planning to go to the transit station to board an airship, were forced to stop due to certain circumstances.
Wearing a moon-white sect robe, Sheng Ning squatted at the spot where Qing You had previously set up a stall, watching the little worm kick its short legs and keep digging holes in the ground.
Seeing how hard it was digging the hole, she patted its little tail and whispered, "Sweetie, do you need any help?"
As Sheng Ning's cultivation level increased, the pig-like insect, which had grown considerably larger than when it first hatched, poked its head out of the hole.
Spitting out a mouthful of yellow soil, Pigworm shook his head. "Mother, wait a moment, your little darling will be digging it up soon!"
Just now, Sheng Ning and the others were preparing to take an airship to Youyun City and then fly back to the Invincible Sect on their swords.
But the little worm refused to leave, saying it felt its father's presence in this land.
Sheng Ning immediately stopped and led it to the spot where Qing You had previously set up a stall. He watched as it jumped down from his arms and began to paw at the ground with its little paws.
The market was bustling with people.
The worm's digging motion attracted a lot of attention.
When it poked its head out again, covered in dust, it found itself surrounded by a crowd of people.
The light in its eyes vanished instantly, and it nestled back into Sheng Ning's arms. "I found you, Mother. Father's presence is right here."
"But the thing is too big, my son can't dig it all up by himself."
Sheng Ning seemed to have anticipated this.
As soon as Pigworm finished speaking, a long sword appeared in her hand.
As an ancient evil sword, the Eight-Star Kunwu Sword has always been regarded as a treasure since it gained independent consciousness.
When it fell into Sheng Ning's hands, it realized that as a sword, it had so many uses.
For example... digging the ground.
"Brother Jian, I'm so sorry you had to go through all this trouble. When we get back, I'll make sure to treat you to a good meal."
Upon hearing Sheng Ning's words, the Eight-Star Kunwu Sword first hummed, expressing its dissatisfaction.
However, it was now in Sheng Ning's grasp and could not escape. Unable to struggle, it could only give up resisting and obediently let Sheng Ning hold it in her hand, allowing her to control it.
When Sheng Ning dug a large rock out of the ground, the expressions of the onlookers changed from surprise and anticipation to disdain in an instant.
"Was I blind just now? I actually saw a dragon digging a hole?"
"It's a smokescreen, isn't it? They deliberately let us see the image of a dragon, then dug up a stone from the ground and made everyone pay a high price for it."
"I suspect it's not a trick, but a dragon, right? Young friend, are you selling your dragon? Is it a spirit pet?"
For thousands of years, whether on the mainland or in the northern regions, the image of the divine dragon has never appeared in the public eye again.
In addition, the spiritual energy on the mainland has become increasingly scarce year by year, and some people have begun to spread rumors that the mainland is doomed.
This has caused widespread anxiety.
Although a jiao is not a dragon, it is a close relative of the dragon. If it is properly nurtured, it will transform into a jiao dragon after undergoing a tribulation of lightning.
Therefore, the worm was the reason why all the onlookers stopped to watch.
