Chapter 17 Business Acumen



Yan Ying raised her head and looked at Cen Ji in front of her. Her face was wet, stained with tears and snot, and there was a bloody snot bubble hanging from her nose...

Cen Ji curled his lips in disgust and pulled Yan Ying's arm to pull him up.

"Ah! It hurts..." Yan Ying screamed like a pig being slaughtered.

Fortunately, this is the outskirts of the peach forest, and there are few people around. Otherwise, if she shouted, people would definitely come over.

"Then you squat down." Cen Ji let go of Yan Ying's hand and turned to leave.

Yan Ying gritted her teeth and stood up.

Nnd, do I have broken ribs? Why does it hurt so much?

[System: Physical examination in progress…]

[System: The host has a mild concussion and a broken rib on the left.]

Yan Ying felt completely hopeless… Wasn’t she a cultivator? How could she be so fragile? Couldn’t she withstand Cen Ji’s blow?

Her spiritual power seemed to have failed from the beginning and could not be used at all... What was going on?

[System: Host, it's possible that something in Cen Ji's body is suppressing your spiritual power.]

I knew it...

"Cen Ji... I... I won't send you back." Yan Ying's face was twisted into a knot. She had to go to Baicao Peak quickly. Her life was the most important thing!

"What? Didn't you want to follow me?" Cen Ji looked at Yan Ying with amusement.

She must have injured her bones just now.

"You can't even bear such a minor injury... I don't know who the person was who boasted about making it up to me before..." Cen Ji said with a sneer. Compared with the injuries he had suffered before, this injury was indeed just a minor one.

"Okay... then... I'll take you back first."

Yan Ying walked with her head down and it was very difficult.

Damn it, what does the original owner’s sin have to do with her? She is so unlucky.

Yan Ying gritted her teeth and followed Cen Ji step by step, greeting all of Cen Ji's ancestors.

Yan Ying knew that she could not beat Cen Ji. There was something in Cen Ji's body that prevented her from using her spiritual power. This was a difficult situation. She could neither beat him nor hide from him.

But she was very vengeful. After three years, she was determined to get back at Cen Ji for all the humiliation she had suffered.

Cen Ji didn't know whether he wanted to wait for Yan Ying or just wanted to look at her miserable appearance for a while longer, so he walked ahead calmly and slowed down his pace.

Yan Ying looked at Cen Ji with eyes full of resentment, wishing she could stare a hole in the back of his head.

Cen Ji could sense Yan Ying's resentful gaze, but he pretended not to notice.

Wu Bai was originally squatting at the door eating melon seeds, but he saw such a shocking scene.

He suddenly threw away the melon seeds in his hand and rubbed his eyes.

This is strange. The sun rises from the west, so why is Cen Ji coming back with that tigress? And last time, Yan Ying even asked him to deliver something to Cen Ji... Is he crazy, or is this world crazy?

What's wrong with this tigress? She's limping and looks like she's suffocated.

"I really have to go." After entering the house, Yan Ying took a deep breath in pain. She really couldn't bear it anymore.

"Let's go." Cen Ji took out a talisman from his sleeve and threw it in front of Yan Ying.

Yan Ying recognized the talisman. It was the same Baili Talisman that Wu Lin gave her last time. The Baili Talisman was a fourth-level talisman.

Cen Ji is only an outer disciple... How could he draw the Baili Talisman...

"You... give it to me?" Yan Ying asked with a frown.

"Why, you don't want it?" Cen Ji looked at Yan Ying and smiled. "You've walked such a long way with me, I can't tell you like being beaten? If you don't want it, forget it..."

"Give it to me!" Yan Ying snatched the Qianli Talisman. She was so angry at him that she almost vomited blood.

No... She couldn't be angry... She was in so much pain that she broke out in a cold sweat...

Good job, Cen Jing! Good job!

Yan Ying took the Baili Talisman and angrily activated the talisman and disappeared from in front of Cen Ji.

Cen Ji's smile gradually disappeared. He stared at the spot where Yan Ying had just sat, and was momentarily distracted. His spiritual power today... seemed to be exceptionally high...

He originally wanted to bring her back to ease her pain, but when he thought of what she had done before... forget it. After all, it would be better if she died. Why should he care whether she lived or died?

Yan Ying arrived at Baicao Peak in the blink of an eye.

【System: Host, you shouldn't come here. 】

"Why? Why don't you come here to treat my injuries?"

[System: Host, do you still remember your injured leg yesterday? It's healed today.]

Yan Ying blinked, it seemed... that's it, could the system really cure her?

"Then why didn't you treat me when you were in the peach forest? Hurry up, hurry up, and heal me!"

[System: I didn't do this, but I checked the information yesterday and found out that this was the protection system the original owner had.]

"Anti-protection system?"

[System: Within a certain period of time, you, the host, have a protective mechanism. Regardless of injury or poisoning, as long as you are still breathing, the injury will be completely healed the next day. This is a natural function of the original host's body, and you can also say it is a stress immunity function that makes you immune to all illnesses.]

Yan Ying's jaw dropped. Wow! So advanced!

"How long will this immunity last?"

[System: At least half a month, at most a few years. This is not something I can decide, and I can't say for sure.]

"Then I have to make good use of it! How about I go to the joint tomorrow and break the stone! I can make money and won't get hurt, killing two birds with one stone!"

【System: No future.】

Yan Ying's spiritual power returned as soon as she left Cen Ji. She used the pain-relieving spell she learned yesterday and instantly felt energetic again.

"How can this be called a lack of ambition? This is called business acumen." Yan Ying walked towards Yuankun Peak.

"By the way, how did Cen Ji prevent me from using my spiritual power... And what's that black smoke around him? I don't remember any spiritual roots emitting black smoke..."

When Yan Ying thought about the time when she was powerless just now, she felt her whole body trembling. It was too weird. The feeling of being at the mercy of others... was really scary!

【System: I don’t know.】

"Aren't you a system? How come you don't know anything? Let me ask you, if I die...will there be any consequences for you?"

[System: In that case... I'll probably change my host.]

“You don’t even have a mouth, how can you say such cold words?”

Yan Ying really felt like she had fallen into a big trap! Woohoo... Damn system, damn silence.
