Tian Ning ignored Long Han's inner collapse. Who made this guy sin in the first place, provoking someone he shouldn't have, and inexplicably trying to kill her?
Tian Ning naturally wouldn't be polite to someone who had once tried to kill her.
Even if she squeezed Long Han dry, she wouldn't feel the slightest guilt.
She directly rummaged through her ring pouch, quickly grabbing a Recording Stone in her left hand and a Porcelain Bottle in her right, stuffing them both into Long Han's arms: "Fill these for me before the Six Sects Grand Competition."
Long Han: "!!!"
Was she crazy!?
Was she planning to use such cruel methods to exhaust him to death? But ever since they met again, he hadn't provoked her at all!!
"You're unwilling?"
Tian Ning took out a painting from somewhere, opened it, and admired the beauty on it, sighing: "Such an unparalleled beauty, if only it could spread throughout the Eastern Continent, so that everyone could see the beautiful woman…"
Long Han was so angry that his back teeth were about to grind to pieces: "I understand!"
This Dead Girl is really unlikeable!
He still thought she was somewhat cute in her silly way when she first fell down…
He sighed in his heart.
He didn't know why, but since returning to Wenren Manor from the Dragon Palace, he felt that Xue'er had been overly unreasonable.
Although he knew Xue'er's personality had changed drastically because she was too heartbroken over losing her right hand, the hand that wielded her sword, he still couldn't accept that the Xue'er who had always been like a lotus flower in his heart, emerging from the mud without being stained, was actually a narrow-minded woman skilled in calculation.
What Long Han was even more unwilling to admit was that Wenren Xue had always seemed to be that kind of person, but his love for her had been so intense in the past that he had completely ignored those inconsistencies.
This time back, his mind seemed to have suddenly cleared up, allowing him to see through some things.
But Xue'er was ultimately the light that had saved him from the abyss when he was young, so even though Xue'er needed a Ninth-Grade Spirit Plant—the Ice Linzhi—to restore her cultivation base, he still followed the Wenren Family's team without hesitation.
Meeting Tian Ning was purely accidental. Long Han helplessly put away the Recording Stone and Porcelain Bottle in his arms, watching Tian Ning take out several more stalks of Purple Jade Bamboo to feed the child, wanting to see how big the child's appetite was. His deep eyes held inquiry.
Actually, judging from her appearance alone, Tian Ning wasn't bad-looking. Compared to Xue'er… she was even better…
It's just that this girl is boisterous, and sometimes her words are astonishing, making him helpless.
If Tian Ning could be more well-behaved, like Xue'er used to be…
If Tian Ning knew what Long Han was thinking, she would definitely punch him!
Long Yunqi ate the Purple Jade Bamboo very quickly. As a Divine Beast favored by the Heavenly Dao, the Dragon Clan was born with a powerful physical body capable of absorbing the spiritual energy from Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, let alone the noble bloodline of the royal family.
The Purple Jade Bamboo was finished in a short while. That large bundle of Purple Jade Bamboo was gone in the blink of an eye, shocking everyone else, who widened their eyes!
What exactly is this child's background? Even with their current cultivation base, they probably couldn't absorb that much Purple Jade Bamboo!
Young dragons get sleepy easily after eating their fill. Long Yunqi acted spoiled and leaned on Tian Ning, wanting to be held and sleep.
Tian Ning had never held a child before, and she didn't understand much about it, so she simply and decisively took out a coffin and said: "Sleep in this."
Tian Ning said sincerely: "This is a newly-made limited edition. Even my Master doesn't have this privilege. You're lucky today, kid!"
Long Yunqi: "..."
Others: "..."
Long Han was already somewhat used to Tian Ning's occasional strange actions. She really is a perfect match for the disciples of Sword Protecting Mountain; they are all equally… abnormal.
Although Long Yunqi was still a young dragon, he had been in his eggshell for a long time and often heard people talking, but his strength was too weak, and he had been unable to break out of the eggshell.
Until that day, something very fragrant helped him, allowing him to successfully hatch…
And that scent was Tian Ning's.
Although he didn't quite understand what a coffin was, he still inexplicably felt it wasn't good.
"Don't want to try it?" Tian Ning patted the soft and comfortable small quilt inside; it looked very comfortable to sleep in!
In the end, sleepiness prevailed. The little young dragon weakly kicked his legs and crawled into the coffin by himself, falling asleep in a short while.
After putting the child to sleep, Tian Ning skillfully opened the hidden small wheels and handle, and easily continued forward.
This is much easier than carrying him!
"..."
The others didn't say much.
They saw how Tian Ning had interacted with Senior Long Han earlier, and thought that their relationship was good.
After walking for a while, the group finally arrived at the gathering point.
There were about a hundred people trapped here. Luckily, this cave was large enough, and it was located underground in a hidden place, making it difficult to be discovered. Otherwise, the restless spirit beasts would have discovered their presence long ago.
Talisman Cultivators were drawing Concealment Talismans on the walls at the scene. The walls were covered with densely packed Concealment Talismans, but as the number of Talismans they could draw decreased, everyone's mood became increasingly anxious.
"Have the teams that haven't returned found other exits?"
"The remaining Concealment Talismans won't last a day. If those few Transformation God-level spirit beast kings outside discover us, we'll all die here!"
"Don't panic! Maybe the Sect Elders will find a way to save everyone…"
"If the Elders could save us, they would have done so already! To think that we're really cursed. Everyone ran in different directions, yet the chaotic Beast Tide just happened to rush towards us!"
…
Perhaps because they had been here for too long, the scene was somewhat chaotic, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.
"Enough! It's just a mere Beast Tide. What's with all the depressing talk! In the worst case, at the last moment, we'll just fight our way out!"
A male voice interrupted the people who were talking dejectedly. His tone carried the unquestionable oppressive pressure of a superior, silencing the others.
The owner of that voice was the Young Dragon Prince—Long Ye. Tian Ning didn't expect that she would meet two acquaintances at once, just after returning to the Eastern Continent.
Long Ye had naturally noticed the returning team. Long Han was leading them.
What Long Ye didn't expect was that the group had brought someone back with them.
It was Tian Ning, whom he detested the most!
That Dead Girl was standing conspicuously in the middle of the team, pulling a strange coffin. Long Ye couldn't help but notice… Recalling his previous encounter, Long Ye specifically checked Tian Ning's side and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she wasn't carrying the White Cat.
Because of his forced contract with Xue'er, not only was his father furious and temporarily expelled him from the Dragon Palace, but his cultivation base, which he had always been proud of, had also fallen, dropping directly from the Transformation God Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage.
If he were to face the White Tiger, the Divine Beast beside that Dead Girl, at this time, he would have absolutely no chance of winning!
Seeing that Tian Ning foolishly wasn't bringing the White Tiger, Long Ye had nothing to fear.
A trace of cruelty flashed through his mind. After all, it was this reckless wild girl who had suddenly appeared, not only snatching away everything from Xue'er but also ruining Xue'er like that!
When he saw Xue'er again, his heart almost broke…
"
