Chapter 257 Awakening
Lian Chengyue blew hot air, concentrating on drying Ning Mingmei's hair. But soon, he noticed someone was watching him.
Lian Chengyue looked up and met Ning Mingmei's eyes. However, what puzzled him was that Ning Mingmei was actually staring at him.
Why was Immortal Ning glaring at him?
Lian Chengyue: "Ning Xianzun, are you awake?"
Ning Mingmei's eyes were still wide open, and he was staring at him: ...
Lian Chengyue: "I see that Immortal Ning's clothes and hair are wet. I'm afraid that Immortal Ning feels uncomfortable when he falls asleep."
Ning Mingmei: ...
Lian Chengyue: "I have a fire-transformed wind spiritual root, which means I can blow warm wind for Immortal Ning."
"You can shut up now."
Ning Mingmei told him to shut up, but Ning Mingmei spoke to him, and Lian Chengyue was grateful for that. He said, "Ning Xianzun, I am so happy that you can still speak."
Ning Mingmei originally wanted to use a spell to hit Lian Chengyue's mouth with a "smack" to make him shut up. But as soon as he moved, he hissed.
The wound hurts a lot.
Lian Chengyue became very obedient now: "Ning Xianzun, I have prepared the medicine for your injuries. I will get it for you."
“…”
Ning Mingmei looked around and realized that he was now in a cave at the border of the demon world. The cave was probably the former dwelling of a monster. It had been abandoned for a long time, but now it had been cleaned up by Lian Chengyue. There was even the fragrance of flowers in the air.
Ning Mingmei didn't have the energy to get up. He said to Lian Chengyue: "The owner of this cave..."
"Master, there is no need to worry that the owner of the cave will come back. I killed him a long time ago." Lian Chengyue Yangguang responded positively.
Ning Mingmei: ...
Lian Chengyue went to get medicine and walked away. Ning Mingmei stared at his back with a frown, as if he was staring at a monster.
Qi Miancheng is Lian Chengyue?
These subtle similarities... Ning Mingmei should have thought of them earlier. It’s just that Qi Miancheng is even more cunning and weird than Lian Chengyue. Ning Mingmei kept thinking about him, but he couldn't match Qi Miancheng with the undergraduate student in front of him.
"Perhaps... Qi Miancheng is not the Lian Chengyue of this 'world' and this 'time'." Ning Mingmei pondered, "Perhaps..."
That Qi Miancheng had already lived out his life as Lian Chengyue in another timeline.
What should the original ending be like? Lian Chengyue fulfilled his ideals and ambitions? At the cost of sacrificing the world's blood, he broke through the void and finally became the most powerful person who could not be suppressed by anyone. But what after that?
Did he really become a god?
Becoming a god or not becoming a god...Did Lian Chengyue get what he really wanted?
If so, what was the reason for him to be reborn as Qi Miancheng?
Ning Mingmei did not share this information with the system. After reaching the Spiritual Transformation Stage, he discovered that he possessed an ability - the ability to shield the system from his own thoughts. Now it seems that the system is unaware of Qi Miancheng’s abnormality. The system also enthusiastically asked him to "conquer" Lian Chengyue, as if it extremely wanted to get something from the two of them.
But he never expected that his fate, Ning Mingmei, would be so closely related to the fate of Lian Chengyue.
Ning Mingmei was still thinking, Lian Chengyue had already returned with medicine: "Ning Xianzun, would you like to drink the medicine?"
At this moment, Lian Chengyue's handsome face seemed to have a hint of ill intention. Ning Mingmei stared at the face that gradually overlapped with Qi Miancheng for a long time, then took the medicine and drank it in one gulp...
Then……
"……puff!"
Lian Chengyue was shocked by Ning Mingmei's behavior. He made this medicine using the herbs he carried in his Qiankun bag. It was just as bitter as ordinary herbs, so it wasn't particularly unpalatable. He quickly tasted the bitterest part at the bottom of the bowl.
This is not...
Pretty light mouthful?
Looking at Ning Mingmei who was covering his neck, Lian Chengyue suddenly had a bold guess.
Ning Mingmei wouldn't be particularly afraid of bitter things, right?
He rummaged in his bag for a while and actually found a bag of candy. Before Ning Mingmei's chilly gaze came over, Lian Chengyue offered the bag in her hand with both hands: "Please have some candy, Immortal Lord."
...I don’t know if it’s his illusion, but I always feel that his eyes have become more and more unfriendly since Ning Mingmei woke up.
Ning Mingmei picked up the candy from his palm and ate it with a frown.
...Ning Mingmei eats candy! Ning Mingmei is afraid of suffering! But why does Ning Mingmei always order iced American coffee at the Piaomiao Peak Coffee Shop? Could it be that Ning Mingmei would bring the iced American coffee back to the office and add sugar and milk? Could it be that...
Ning Mingmei, are you very face-conscious?
Ning Mingmei, who cares about his reputation?
...Also, how should he ask Ning Mingmei about their blood?
The two of them sat there, both thinking about other things for a while. One was observing the gradually overlapping Lianchengyue, and the other was pondering the issue of blood. Finally, Ning Mingmei brought up the safest topic: "Where did Jiang Duo's hand go?"
Lian Chengyue pointed to a steel wire in the distance and said, "Immortal Lord, I washed it and hung it up to dry."
Ning Mingmei: ...
Who told you to wash it and hang it up! Do you think you are preparing braised pig's trotters?
Lian Chengyue placed Jiangduo's two rings carefully on Ning Mingmei's chest. Ning Mingmei picked up the ring and observed it, confirming that there was no tracking spell on it. Then he injected magic power into the ring, trying to open it.
One of the two rings looks ordinary, while the other is dazzling. As soon as Ning Mingmei injected magic power into that ordinary ring, he discovered the mystery of the encryption method contained in it. It was obvious that Jiang Duo had placed something very important in this ring, and he didn't want anyone to have the chance to open it.
This thing must be brought back to the Piaomiao Peak laboratory for research for ten days to half a month - Ning Mingmei was sighing and tried the dazzling ring. Then, he was stunned.
The restrictions of that ring are also extremely complex. But compared to an ordinary ring, the encryption level of that ring is just at the most ordinary level. Ning Mingmei opened it in one go!
The dazzling ring contained the rare treasures that Jiang Duo always carried with him. In addition to demon materials, weapons, and medicines, Ning Mingmei also found many ancient scrolls unique to the demons. It is also possible to use the things in this ring to pretend to be an ancient powerful demon. And with it, Ning Mingmei's research on the demons will be able to achieve a decisive breakthrough.
One of the drawings in particular showed a fan. The fan seemed to be made of white peacock feathers. It was beautiful, cold, holy, yet full of demonic energy. It was enough to even allow a person who was not possessed by a demon to use it and unleash the power of demonic energy.
Jiangduo has collected a lot of good things over the years! It seems that this is the important storage ring that Jiangduo carries with him. Because of this, Ning Mingmei looked at the ordinary ring with an increasingly profound gaze.
If all the good things are in the dazzling ring, then what is hidden in this ordinary ring that is sealed more tightly?
It can’t be…
Ning Mingmei said: "We have to find a safe place and decipher this ring as soon as possible."
Lian Chengyue said: "Yes."
"I didn't expect that you would hand these two rings to me intact." Ning Mingmei said abruptly.
Lian Chengyue: "What are you talking about, Immortal Venerable? How could I take these two rings away privately? After all, the value of the Immortal Venerable to me is far more important than these rings."
……hehe.
Even though Lian Chengyue was sincerely expressing his loyalty, his words revealed the rational coldness that was unique to him. Ning Mingmei glanced at him and felt that this person could be used. Moreover, he did not intend to give Lian Chengyue any advice on how to speak.
It would be better to keep it like this. At least Lian Chengyue is clearly visible to him now. He could easily tell what Lian Chengyue was thinking.
...Compared to Qi Miancheng who speaks like gibberish.
Ning Mingmei also wanted to go back to Piaomiao Peak to see Qi Miancheng at this moment, especially to carefully investigate the signs of resurrection on his body. I just don't know how much evidence of possession is left on Qi Miancheng's body after he was shocked by 100,000 volts of high voltage countless times. If Ning Mingmei had known this earlier, he would not have used him as a lightning rod.
Ning Mingmei held the ordinary ring in his hand and looked at it for a long time before giving up on deciphering it. Lian Chengyue finally said, "Ning Xianzun."
"Um?"
Lian Chengyue said: "When the Immortal Venerable used the lotus lantern just now, I saw my blood merge with the Immortal Venerable's blood... I don't know if this is a unique property of the lotus lantern, or..."
Ning Mingmei: ...
I almost forgot about this.
Unlike reality, the blood of different people in the world of immortal cultivation cannot be mixed - especially when they have different spiritual roots, the blood will be separated from each other. Sometimes, even if the owners of the blood are related, their blood will be separated particularly obviously due to their different spiritual roots.
Ning Mingmei had never injected lamp oil made from human blood into the lotus lantern before. Because the first purpose of doing an experiment is to avoid introducing excessive amounts of unknown impurities. Ning Mingmei hasn't figured out the purpose of the lotus lantern yet, so he naturally won't be the first warrior to dirty it.
Just now, it was the first time that Ning Mingmei injected human blood into the lotus lantern... Ning Mingmei himself did not expect that his blood and Lian Chengyue's blood would merge so smoothly.
In fact, there are three possibilities.
The first one is that the lotus lantern has special properties. Their blood can mix. However, this reminded Ning Mingmei of the memories he had seen in the lotus lantern. In the past, when people with other spiritual roots were used as wicks, the magic power emitted by the lotus lamp emitted a mysterious light. The light was evil and bloody, completely different from the magic light he and Lian Chengyue used yesterday.
The second type, Ning Mingmei has been taking Lianchengyue sustained-release capsules for many years, while Qimiancheng is sustained-release capsules 2.0, which can be regarded as white plus black, or as a sustained-release capsule booster. Under the influence of countless Lian Chengyue's blood, Ning Mingmei's blood had already been able to slowly overlap with Lian Chengyue's blood, just as Lian Chengyue's face could slowly overlap with Qi Miancheng's face.
