Chapter 95

【Lie Quan, this old thing really isn’t worth anything. Even now, he still insists on going according to the original plan. It’s simply insane and unforgivable!

What’s the matter?

Are you so sure no one can do anything about you?

Since the moment this matter was exposed, do you think you can still deceive the heavens?

If you ask me, if the Thunder Spirit Root really falls into Lie Quan’s son’s hands, that would be a waste!

He has the worst spirit root, a four-element root with both water and fire. In this life, he’s only a little stronger than an ordinary person.

Even if he changes to the Thunder Spirit Root, he’s not guaranteed to rise to great heights.

I remember that several people with similar cultivation have children?

If you ask me, some of these second-generation cultivators are quite talented. I won’t name names specifically.

If their talent is decent, they don’t need to change their spirit roots.

The Thunder Spirit Root is a great tonic, you know.】

After posting this, the Melon-Eating System couldn’t wait to report to Ning Xu, 【Host, according to what you said, I’ve also dragged a few other old things into this.】

Ning Xu hummed, “Let’s wait and see how things unfold.”

With their current abilities, they couldn’t save this senior sister.

What they could do was only borrow strength to strike back.

It’s true that ordinary cultivators can’t do much against Lie Quan, but the cultivation world isn’t short of high-level cultivators.

These cultivators also have children.

Under the temptation of the Thunder Spirit Root, it’s possible that they might make a move against Lie Quan.

Whether it’s changing spirit roots or taking the Thunder Spirit Root as a great tonic, the recipient will need to take the medicine for a while.

For example, if another Mahayana cultivator takes an interest in the senior sister’s Thunder Spirit Root and wants to use it to enhance their child’s spirit root, then the child will need to take the medicine for years. Only after a few years can the Thunder Spirit Root be used. Otherwise, the explosive Thunder Spirit Root will tear apart the cultivator’s own spirit root.

Not long after the Melon-Eating System posted, many old things began to stir.

【Host, the other two enemies of the Innocent Cultivator also plan to act.】

【As expected, there are no eternal allies, only eternal interests.】

【They also want this Thunder Spirit Root.】

【Let’s see how they play their game.】

Ning Xu said, “If they get involved, they probably won’t be able to change the spirit root tomorrow. For now, all we can do is help her buy some time, and in that time, we might be able to think of another way.”

The Melon-Eating System replied, 【It’s best if we can save her. If not, we can’t force it.】

Even if they saved her, the senior sister wouldn’t live for many more years.

However, as long as it saw Lie Quan and the other old things suffer, it would be happy. The more they suffered, the better.

The Melon-Eating System complained, 【To lure the other scumbags to take action, I even lied.】

Ning Xu, “What?”

【I just posted that some second-generation cultivators are quite talented, but in fact, none of their children are worth mentioning. Even if they took the Thunder Spirit Root, they would just go from being super trash to being minor trash. Overall, they’re still trash.】

If you ask it, second-generation cultivators still need to rely on the Innocent Cultivator and the host.

Hehe, it secretly ships them.

While Ning Xu was talking to the Melon-Eating System, the Innocent Cultivator had already prepared a sumptuous meal. With him around, this training in the Endless Sea didn’t seem so difficult or boring.

The Melon-Eating System laughed, 【The Innocent Cultivator really knows how to do that, but also handle the kitchen.】

【By the way, host, there are many snake demons in the Endless Sea.】

【Snakes are inherently lecherous. They can release certain toxic mists, and these mists… hehe, you know what I mean.】

【I know you definitely won’t want to get poisoned by the snake’s venom, so I’ll remind you to avoid going east. There are more snake demons over there.】

【Of course, if you want to take advantage of the snake venom to do something with the Innocent Cultivator, then forget I said anything.】

Ning Xu, “…Shut up.”

【Alright.】

However, the Melon-Eating System didn’t really shut up. Less than three seconds later, it opened its mouth again.

【Oh my god. The snake demon forest to the east!】

Ning Xu, “What?”

【There are actually some who want to get poisoned by the snake venom.】

【Is this a new play?】

【Interesting, really interesting. These two don’t look young, but who would’ve thought they’re so adventurous.】

【The snake venom can have this effect? Haha, this is exciting!】

Ning Xu, “…”

As expected, the cultivation world was vast, and there were all sorts of strange things. The Melon-Eating System went silent, likely off to enjoy its own gossip. Ning Xu didn’t bother looking for it. After all, she didn’t want to eat every kind of gossip. Some vulgar gossip could just be ignored.

After lunch and a bit of rest, Ning Xu and the Innocent Cultivator continued their training. However, not long after they left their camp, they encountered a disheveled female cultivator.

The female cultivator appeared to be in her twenties. Her appearance wasn’t particularly exquisite, but she was still quite delicate and charming.

The Endless Sea was vast, and even though they had been there for several days, this was the first time Ning Xu and the others had encountered another person.

Meeting living beings in the Endless Sea wasn’t exactly a good sign.

It was well-known that the Endless Sea was dangerous, but in reality, aside from the danger inherent in the area, cultivators could also bring danger.

The two parties exchanged glances and silently walked past each other.

Just as they were about to pass each other, the Melon-Eating System clicked its tongue, 【Foolish, really foolish.】

Ning Xu, “What? Who’s foolish?”

【I said this female cultivator is foolish.】

【Foolish to the extreme.】

Ning Xu did not look back. Holding the bright moon in her hand, she walked forward with Innocent Cultivator while asking, “How is she foolish?”

The Melon-Eating System directly explained, 【She came here to collect medicine for her husband.】

【Because her husband urgently needed a certain herb, she came alone.】

“And then?”

【Then, for her husband, she went through mountains and seas of fire, only to find her husband now in that snake forest! The same one I told you about, one of those who enjoys playing around!】

【Do you think she’s foolish?】

【She’s being played around in circles.】

Ning Xu, “…”

What else could she say?

She could only think that this person’s world was quite small. Just after hearing some gossip from the Melon-Eating System, she didn’t expect to immediately meet someone related to the gossip.

Just as Ning Xu was about to ask something else, a faint, somewhat weak female voice came from behind.

“Fellow Daoist, please wait.”

Ning Xu instinctively stopped and turned around to look at the female cultivator who had called out to her.

The female cultivator who had called out was covered in blood, looking like she had just experienced a fierce battle.

She cupped her hands towards Ning Xu and said, “Fellow Daoist, I am the youngest daughter of the City Lord of Furong City. I came here to find the Moon Grass, but I was unable to defeat the guardian beast of the Moon Grass.”

“If you could help me find the Moon Grass, I will have a reward for you.”

Just after the female cultivator finished speaking, the Melon-Eating System immediately retorted, 【A reward? What reward does she have? She was kicked out of the City Lord’s mansion!】

【She treated trash as treasure and ruined her relationship with the City Lord, now she has nothing left except the title of being the City Lord’s daughter.】

【She ruined a good hand of cards, quite impressive.】

【Her hand is already beyond saving.】

【Even if she were reborn, it wouldn’t help.】

【After all, rebirth doesn’t increase IQ.】

As time passed, the female cultivator’s face grew increasingly pale, looking like she was about to collapse.

Ning Xu just thought she was seriously injured and didn’t overthink it.

Although the Melon-Eating System claimed the female cultivator only had an appealing title, Ning Xu still decided to lend a helping hand. After all, this was just a small favor for her, and she didn’t seek anything in return.

She nodded slightly, “I can.”

【Host, why not take her to the snake forest and let her see what her beloved husband is doing!】

Ning Xu didn’t want to cause trouble, but the female cultivator actively suggested going to the east to take a look.

Since it was her own request to go east, whatever she saw there would be her own choice.

Before entering the snake forest, they took detoxification pills, so the snake venom wouldn’t affect them.

As they were about to pass by that pair of adulterers, Ning Xu’s group could hear some noise from a distance.

She looked at the female cultivator beside her, “There are people over there…”

The female cultivator weakly smiled at her, “I think I hear the voices of some acquaintances. I’ll go over and take a look, please wait for me here, fellow Daoist.”

Ning Xu had no objections.

After the female cultivator left, the Melon-Eating System began muttering, 【Seems like she’s a bit smarter than I thought.】

【Maybe she sensed something?】

【After all, she’s the City Lord’s daughter, it’s a bit of a mess how she ended up like this.】

【I wonder what her reaction will be after she finds out her husband and his maid are together.】

【Hmm?】

Ning Xu, “What are you ‘hmm’ing about?”

The Melon-Eating System, speechless, responded, 【She’s coming back.】

【Seeing that pair of adulterers, she didn’t even make a sound, just came back.】

【Oh? Could she be pretending nothing happened? No way, no way, she wouldn’t really be such a coward, would she?】

Just as the Melon-Eating System finished speaking, Ning Xu saw the female cultivator slowly walking back towards her.

She must have used some method, as the pair of adulterers didn’t seem to notice anything unusual.

The female cultivator’s face was extremely pale, her energy nearly depleted, with a slight redness at the corners of her eyes.

The Melon-Eating System was furious, 【What is this nonsense!】

【Don’t come crying in front of me, if I could speak, I’d be scolding you right now!】

【You’re having a fallout with your parents, not completely cutting off ties with them!】

【You have no ability, can’t you go back and complain to your parents?】

【You’re just foolish to the extreme!】

“Okay.”

The female cultivator looked at Ning Xu and said, “Fellow Daoist, please accompany me to find the Moon Grass. Thank you.”

With guidance from the Melon-Eating System, it didn’t take long for them to find a patch of Moon Grass.

The guardian beast of this patch wasn’t very strong, and Ning Xu killed it easily.

Ning Xu and Innocent Cultivator picked some of the Moon Grass, while the female cultivator took the majority.

After obtaining the Moon Grass, the female cultivator took out her storage bag, her face as pale as before, and said, “Fellow Daoist, these are all I have left. I’m not sure if there’s anything you find useful?”

Before Ning Xu was a grayish egg, some martial arts manuals, healing pills, and a few defensive magical items.

The female cultivator bit her lip and explained, “This egg, I found it in a secret realm before. Although it looks like a dead egg, I feel it’s extraordinary, so I’ve kept it by my side. The manuals are all from the City Lord’s mansion…”

Perhaps feeling her reward wasn’t impressive enough, there was a hint of unease on the female cultivator’s face.

Ning Xu’s gaze first fell on the dead egg.

The surface of the egg seemed to have lost its luster.

Just as she was about to shift her gaze away from the dead egg, the Melon-Eating System excitedly shouted, 【Egg! Innocent Cultivator’s egg!】

Ning Xu, “…”

Innocent Cultivator, “…”

Ning Xu gritted her teeth, “What do you mean Innocent Cultivator’s egg! Explain yourself!”

The Melon-Eating System spoke quickly, 【This is the fated spiritual beast of Innocent Cultivator before his reincarnation. After his fall and reincarnation, his spiritual beast reincarnated too!】

【Although it looks gray and lifeless, this is actually its life-saving method!】

【Only after Innocent Cultivator’s blood is dripped on it will it slowly awaken!】

Ning Xu, “!!!”

Without hesitation, Ning Xu directly said to the female cultivator, “I’ll take this egg as the reward.”

The female cultivator revealed a relieved smile.

After finding this egg, her intuition told her that it was special.

Unfortunately, she had tried many methods but failed to form a contract with it.

Now, it seemed that this egg already had an owner.

No wonder she had never been able to connect with it.

Rebirth and cultivation again…

The man and woman before her looked very young, but in every way, they were exceptional.

She was happy to offer this egg, after all, she was simply returning what was rightfully theirs.

The Melon-Eating System was beyond excited, 【Egg! Egg! With this egg, Innocent Cultivator’s power will rise dramatically!】

【This female cultivator has a protective treasure, it blocked my scan, almost making us miss Innocent Cultivator’s egg!】

Ning Xu couldn’t take it anymore, “…Enough!”

After obtaining the egg, Ning Xu directly threw it to Innocent Cultivator.

She was afraid that if she looked at it for one more second, the Melon-Eating System would lead her astray.
