If Sheng Ning could hear Liao Qifeng's thoughts, she would surely be glad that after joining the Invincible Sect, her senior brothers had fattened her up a bit.
Otherwise, given her famine-stricken, refugee-like appearance at the Taixu Sect, Liao Qifeng probably wouldn't have even given her a second glance.
Unfortunately, Sheng Ning couldn't hear it.
After thanking Liao Qifeng, she prepared to turn and leave.
She and Liao Qifeng had no connection or entanglement. Whether he would die because of Shi Yueyao was up to his own fate.
That's what I was thinking.
Sheng Ning turned around, but then stopped.
Seeing this, Liao Qifeng tilted his head, puzzled, and asked, "Is there anything else, fellow Daoist?"
Sheng Ning took a deep breath and put on a "go all out" look.
Oh well, he helped her get into the city anyway, and she hates owing favors the most.
Sheng Ning pursed her red lips for a moment, then relaxed them. She turned her head to look at Liao Qifeng and said in a deep voice, "If you ever encounter a cultivator named Shi Yueyao in the future, remember, do not have any relationship with her."
Liao Qifeng exclaimed, his head filled with question marks, "Why? I feel like I've heard this name before..."
"Eh, fellow Daoist, may I ask how you are addressed?"
Seeing that Sheng Ning was really about to leave, Liao Qifeng immediately stretched out his arm like Er Kang and asked her name.
Sheng Ning turned her head, and a breeze blew on her veiled hat, slightly opening a corner to reveal half of her small face. "My name is Sheng Ning."
"Sheng Ning".
Liao Qifeng parted his thin lips slightly and uttered the name.
He knew the name.
Some time ago, his father gave him a communication talisman while he was cultivating and training in the Northern Secret Realm, telling him that Youyun City had been captured by the Demon Clan and urging him to return to the city as soon as possible.
The Northern Region is very far from Youyun City; even by airship, it would take ten days to half a month.
He immediately left the Northern Region and went to the nearest post station to take a flying boat back to Youyun City.
Unexpectedly, he received a message from his father halfway there.
His father told him that the crisis in Youyun City had been resolved, as disciples of the Taixu Sect and a small sect had broken through the demon clan's branch hidden within Youyun City.
Liao Qifeng felt relieved, but instead of returning to the Northern Region, he went straight back to Youyun City.
He had only been back in Youyun City for half a day, and after thoroughly investigating the entire city, he was finally at ease.
He had just returned from his inspection outside the city and happened to stumble upon the incident at the city gate.
He had also heard his father say that after Sheng Ning saved Youyun City, many cultivators came to Youyun City to freeload under Sheng Ning's name, which is why the city gate had to be heavily guarded.
With a slight upturn of his lips, he looked at Sheng Ning's retreating figure, a hint of amusement in his eyes. "Never mind, he was just freeloading."
He also needs to continue reinforcing the barrier around Youyun City to prevent the city's inhabitants from suffering harm during the next demonic attack.
-
Sheng Ning's purpose in coming to Youyun City was very simple.
After eating your fill, return to the Invincible Sect.
In her past life, she buried herself in her studies and researched new weapons, even her eating and sleeping were filled with various formulas.
I've never owned any pets because I'm allergic to cat fur.
In her past life, she had no joy whatsoever.
It wasn't until she came into this world, tasted the spiritual fruit that could cleanse her marrow and experience challenges beyond her level, that she understood why some people in the world love life and love challenges.
It's always better to keep challenging yourself and keep improving than to lie down and take a beating.
Holding an unidentified fruit that looked very much like a watermelon, Sheng Ning spent a little extra money to ask the wonton shop next door for two spoons.
So, on the streets of Youyun City, two figures, one tall and one short, each holding half a fruit as big as their heads, were squatting by the roadside, eating watermelon without any regard for their image.
"Is it sweet? How does this fruit taste compared to the spirit fruit?"
The white tiger perched on Sheng Ning's shoulder, watching her eat with relish, its saliva practically dripping into the melon.
Sheng Ning flicked his head dismissively, then scooped up a spoonful of melon and offered it to him. "Eat it."
The white tiger has lived in the mountains since childhood and has eaten all kinds of fruit.
But watching Sheng Ning and Bai Ze eat, he felt that all the fruits he had eaten before were tasteless and certainly not as delicious as the melons in their hands.
The white tiger opened its mouth and bit into a piece of fruit, letting out a loud "roar!" "It really is sweet!"
Just as the white tiger was about to take another bite, a woman's scream suddenly came from a corner of the market, "Help!"
Sheng Ning and the others all looked up, then simultaneously spat out the seeds in their mouths. "In broad daylight, someone is forcibly abducting a woman?"
She had only ever seen this kind of scene in novels and TV dramas.
I never imagined that I would encounter it myself one day.
Sheng Ning quickly picked up the melon and pulled Bai Ze forward with her.
The alleyway from which the screams came was already crowded with people.
When Sheng Ning and the others arrived, all they could hear was the woman who had screamed in the crowd scream again.
Immediately, a rough male voice rang out from the crowd, "Go ahead and shout, no one will come to save you even if you shout until your throat is hoarse."
"Everyone in Youyun City knows that your father sold you to our casino a long time ago. If you obediently come back with us, I might be a little gentler with you."
"Otherwise..."
Another scream rang out from the crowd.
Sheng Ning's eyes narrowed slightly after hearing the word 'casino' once.
She casually pulled over an older woman next to her and asked, "Sister, what happened here? Why is it so noisy?"
The old woman was quite old, and when she first heard Sheng Ning call her "sister," she thought she had misheard.
