Chapter 366 - I Am a Flattering and Fawning Dog
Chapter 366: I Am a Flattering and Fawning Dog
“This… Senior, I didn’t do anything to deserve this.”
“Take it. Isn’t it the same for my secret disciple? I saved him twice and even gave him a cultivation technique. Consider it good karma. Don’t make me repeat myself again.”
“Alright… Thank you, senior.”
Nalan Lengling cupped her hands and bowed. She accepted the True Phoenix Burning Sky Rage and a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes.
“It’s actually…”
“That’s right. The cultivation technique of the True Phoenix Clan is the purest and hottest fire technique in the world.”
“Senior, this is too valuable.”
“The Purple Clouds Divine technique is also very valuable. Didn’t you accept it as well? Or do you, a fellow Daoist, look down on me, an old man who is about to die?”
“No.”
“Then please accept it.”
The Elder Tianji waved his hand. His figure became increasingly blurry until he disappeared on the spot.
“I have a feeling that you and this secret disciple of mine will have an ill-fated relationship. Hehe, maybe I was wrong.”
As soon as he finished his words, Elder Tianji disappeared from where he was.
“Uhm… Senior sister, senior is talking nonsense, don’t take it to heart.”
“It’s okay, but this cultivation technique is too precious. Since I can’t repay senior, I can only return the favor to you. After this matter is over, I will help you three more times.”
“Then thank you, senior sister.”
Victor cupped his hands as a form of gratitude.
‘Tsk, if I told you that I comprehended the True Phoenix Burning Sky Rage from the true phoenix blood essence, wouldn’t it scare you to death?’
That was right, Elder Tianji had given the True Phoenix Burning Sky Rage to Nalan Lengling. This was naturally Victor’s intention. As for the following words, it was also Victor’s decision.
There was no other way. If he wanted to get closer to Nalan Lengling, Victor could not think of any other way. He could only use Elder Tianji.
Since it was him alone, Victor did not have to worry about being exposed.
However, the biggest problem now was how to deal with this group of bandits.
Seeing Nalan Lengling draw her long sword, Victor hurriedly stopped her.
“Senior sister, don’t be rash. The Fire Sect won’t be able to save us if we provoke the bandits.”
“I know.”
“Then what are you…”
“Teaching them a lesson.”
“No! Senior sister, the one who suppressed them is Elder Tianji. It has nothing to do with us. But if you attack them, the Fire Sect will have something to do with this!”
“Are we just going to let them leave?”
“Not only that, but we also have to hand over the road fee.”
Hearing this, Nalan Lengling frowned and stared coldly at Victor, somewhat displeased.
“Why?”
“I just said that suppressing them is the Elder Tianji’s doing. It has nothing to do with us. According to the rules, if we want to pass through the Hundred Thousand Mountain, we have to hand over a toll. Therefore, as long as we hand over the toll, even if the Gabriella Bandits come to us in the future, we will have an excuse to deal with them.”
“What you said makes sense… But, are we just going to let them wreak havoc?”
“Senior sister, the bandits in the Hundred Thousand Mountain are a hidden danger that even the Central Plains Sect Alliance can’t solve. Could it be that the Fire Sect is even stronger than the Central Plains Sect Alliance?
“Although saying this goes against the reputation of being a chivalrous hero, it is the truth. This matter has nothing to do with us and we have put it aside.”
“Of course, I understand that in senior sister’s heart, I am just a lowly person who flatters others. But, this is related to the entire sect after all. I hope that senior sister will think twice before acting!”
“I understand.”
Nalan Lengling was not a fool. She put away her long sword and took out some treasures that she did not need and threw them to the members of the Gabriella Bandit Clan.
After doing all this, Nalan Lengling secretly glanced at Victor. After thinking for a long time, she cleared her throat and said, “I don’t think that you’re a pleaser. A wise man submits to circumstances. I still know of such a simple principle.”
“Yes, you do know, but you can’t even bear to do this…”
Victor pursed his lips and muttered in a low voice.
“What did you say?”
“Nothing. I said it’s my honor for senior sister to understand me.”
Victor answered while comforting everyone’s emotions.
“Fourth Master, we’ll leave the road fee here. In two hours, you’ll be able to move freely again. I hope that in the future, you won’t make things difficult for the Fire Sect.”
“Kid, let us go now. Otherwise, our Gabriella Bandit Clan will definitely have your Fire Sect’s name removed from the Central Plains!”
“Fourth Master, I’m only a foundation establishment realm cultivator. Even if I wanted to, I can’t. Senior’s methods are superb. Even my senior sister of the same realm wouldn’t be able to do anything about it. So, I’ll have to trouble all of you.”
After he finished speaking, Victor slowly stood up, indicating that everyone could leave.
After passing the Gabriella Bandit Clan, Lin Yiya and the others finally spoke after a long silence.
“Senior Sister Nalan, Wang Cheng, thank you…”
“Sigh, what’s there to thank? We left with eight people sp all eight of us must return. No one can be left behind.”
“Yes… We must go back together.”
“Don’t! I can set up a flag, but you can’t!”
Victor sighed and said calmly, “There’s no time to lose. Let’s get going. Also, sister, come here for a moment.”
Victor gestured for Lian Hua to come to his side and secretly pinched the latter’s waist.
“Unhappy?”
“Yes, unhappy.”
“Because of what?”
“Because you’re fooling around everywhere. You already have Ye Lingxuan and me, but you’re still fooling around with other women!”
“I’ve been accused. When did I admit that you’re my woman?”
“You!”
Hearing this, Lian Hua’s eyes turned red. She stared at Victor angrily and did not say a word.
“Alright, alright. I was just joking. I approached Nalan Lengling because I want to know about the whereabouts of the Rose Sword. Nothing will happen. Don’t worry.”
As he said this, Victor rubbed Lian Hua’s head and comforted her, “I’m already satisfied with you and Ye Lingxuan.”
With that, Victor turned around and no longer looked at the ecstatic Lian Hua.
“It’s getting late. Let’s find a place to rest. Senior sister is a core formation realm cultivator, but we aren’t used to fasting yet. Even though we have our spiritual power to support us, we still need to eat something.”
After walking for four hours and confirming that they had already left the territory of the Gabriella Bandit Clan, Victor decided to rest for a while.
Under normal circumstances, Nalan Lengling would have definitely rejected him. She would have just eaten some hunger pills to overcome her hunger.
However, now, she couldn’t bring herself to say the word “no”.
“Alright, but in this Hundred Thousand Mountain, we can’t let our guard down. Someone has to keep watch.”
“That’s easy to handle. I, Lin Zihui, Leng Wuqing, and Leng Wuyou, the four of us will take turns keeping watch. As for senior sister, you’d better take a good rest. After all, once you encounter the Three-headed Demonic Panther, we’ll have to rely on senior sister.”
“It’s okay. Even if I don’t rest, I won’t feel tired.”
“Cultivators are human beings too. How can you not be tired? By the way, senior sister, I brought some sweet potatoes and some beef. Do you want some?”
