Crazy-Gossiping-C56

Chapter 56

After consuming a quarter of the Demon core, Brother Pig began to sleep soundly again. Its limbs sprawled out, looking like a round ball.

Ning Xu approached to observe it for a while. A few seconds later, she said with a heavy expression, “Have you noticed that we are out of money…?”

The Melon-Eating System also spoke with a serious tone, 【I noticed…】

The next moment, they both spoke at the same time, “It’s gotten fatter.”

【Brother Pig hasn’t inherited any of the demon god’s traits.】

Ning Xu, the Melon-Eating System:…

It turned out, they weren’t on the same wavelength at all.

The Melon-Eating System was still thinking about having Brother Pig reproduce with other pigs.

If Brother Pig became like the demon god, a full-fledged pervert, the Melon-Eating System would be repulsed. But after Brother Pig took the Demon core, it wasn’t affected at all, and the Melon-Eating System still found it distasteful.

It truly worried endlessly about Brother Pig.

Brother Pig, who only cared about eating and sleeping, was completely unaware of all of this. It didn’t care about anything, and at this moment, it was sleeping soundly.

Ning Xu took Brother Pig and stored it in her Spiritual Beast Bag while asking, “Does the Demon core easily affect the spirit beasts that consume it?”

【Theoretically, it will affect them to some extent.】

【The stronger the cultivation of the Demon core’s owner, the greater the influence of the Demon core.】

However, Brother Pig looked no different from before. It couldn’t possibly be stronger than the demon god, right?

If it were stronger, then it wouldn’t be affected by the Demon core, which would make sense.

But, is that even possible?

After dealing with the hidden Demon core in this independent space, the space began to shatter like a mirror. Finally, with a crack, it completely dissipated into the world.

After the independent space disappeared, the cultivators who had been inside were all expelled. Some were already on the brink of death, others had no breath left. Only a few looked relatively unharmed.

The deadly move that had greeted them when they first entered the space had taken many cultivator lives.

Ning Xu didn’t have time to reflect too much, as she had already seen her teammates.

Although there was the wooden token that could block a Nascent Soul cultivator’s strike, Wu Luchen and Qin Riluo still looked in poor condition.

As soon as they exited the secret realm, they collapsed to the ground with pained expressions.

The Melon-Eating System explained, 【The wild, brutal energy inside the space is still relentlessly attacking them.】

If it weren’t for the Universal Healing Blood that Xin Kui had given Ning Xu, she wouldn’t be so calm right now.

She was just about to approach Wu Luchen and the others when Innocent Cultivator, Qing Jiu Xian, and Qi Er also appeared.

At this point, Qi Er was barely clinging to life. He had been hunted before, and he didn’t have many life-saving items on him. He was lucky to have kept a breath when he exited.

Ning Xu immediately made a decision, “Follow me to a place with no people, quickly!”

After saying that, she had the Melon-Eating System point her in the direction, and she hurried toward it.

Upon hearing this, Innocent Cultivator immediately grabbed Qi Er by the collar and followed without a word.

Qing Jiu Xian took one person in each hand and also followed.

After reaching a safe area, Ning Xu took out the ceramic bottle that Xin Kui had given her. Then, she dropped a drop of Universal Healing Blood into the mouths of her injured teammates.

Not long after swallowing, their conditions visibly improved.

Seeing this, Innocent Cultivator and Qing Jiu Xian maintained a neutral expression, neither of them asked a single question.

The tact of her teammates saved Ning Xu a lot of trouble.

The Melon-Eating System clicked its tongue, 【This stuff is really useful. You’ve already used more than half the bottle, it’s definitely not enough! While Big Senior Sister is still in the secret realm, you should build a better relationship with her and get more from her.】

Ning Xu, “…”

“Fortunately, it’s only about getting more, not directly kidnapping her.”

The Melon-Eating System snorted, 【Why kidnap her? Sure, it’s possible, but it’s unnecessary.】

【Cloud Summit Sect has kept her matters tightly under wraps. If her secret is exposed, not only will she face the entire cultivation world, but at least half the cultivation world will come after her.】

For the Melon-Eating System, this was a thankless task.

【Her Universal Healing Blood is indeed useful, but there are so many good things in the cultivation world. There’s really no need to cause trouble for yourself over her.】

For cultivators in the cultivation world, Universal Healing Blood is hard to come by, but for the Melon-Eating System, it’s useful but not irreplaceable.

Ning Xu looked at her slowly awakening teammates and said, “But I want to help her.”

Xin Kui was only fifteen years old.

Her future should not be spent in captivity. Moreover, Xin Kui had been so generous to her, giving her a large bottle of Universal Healing Blood without fear of her secret being exposed.

This was a kind of trust, a great trust in Ning Xu.

As the Melon-Eating System had said earlier, a teenage girl, showing sincere gratitude to her lifesaver.

She wanted to live up to that sincerity.

Having spent time together, Ning Xu understood the Melon-Eating System, and the Melon-Eating System understood her as well. Since she said this, it was clear that she had already decided to take action.

The Melon-Eating System slowly replied, 【How do you plan to help her?】

Ning Xu calmly said, “Of course, we solve the problem at its root.”

With only a week left before the secret realm closed, Ning Xu had a lot to do in the remaining time, one of which was finding Xin Kui.

The Melon-Eating System reminded, 【Host, the third day of the kill order is about to pass. Are you going to post?】 It said this with a tone of excitement and impatience.

Time flowed slower in the independent space, and when the space shattered, nearly two days had passed outside.

The kill order was about to expire, so of course, a post needed to be made to celebrate. Of course, in the Melon-Eating System’s terms, it was really a provocation.

Ning Xu said, “Wait until midnight.”

【Okay!】

As she waited for her teammates to recover, a rabbit-shaped dessert suddenly appeared before her.

Innocent Cultivator’s voice sounded, “It’s your favorite flavor.”

Ning Xu took the little rabbit from Innocent Cultivator with her right hand and patted the empty space beside her with her left hand.

Innocent Cultivator sat down obediently beside her.

While eating the dessert, Ning Xu asked, “Did you get injured in the space?”

Innocent Cultivator shook his head.

Ning Xu blinked slightly, her eyes expressing her shock.

A trace of a smile quickly flashed across the eyes of the Innocent Cultivator, and he explained, “I used sword energy to protect myself.”

The ferocious and oppressive aura that troubled countless low-level cultivators had no effect on the Innocent Cultivator.

Ning Xu said, “Impressive.”

After speaking, she handed the Innocent Cultivator a bottle, saying, “Wu Luchen and the others used theirs up. Keep this for yourself.”

The Innocent Cultivator tightly grasped the porcelain bottle, his pure black eyes never leaving Ning Xu as he slowly said, “They need it more than I do…”

Ning Xu took a bite of dessert and casually replied, “They have it, and so do you. Keep it, just in case.”

Hearing this, the smile in the Innocent Cultivator’s eyes rippled like a spring breeze over a lake.

He tucked the bottle away. “Okay!”

The completely ignored Qing Jiu Immortal:…

So this old man doesn’t deserve the Universal Healing Blood, right?

Midnight.

“The Three Thousand Realms Cultivator Exchange Area.”

There had been no new posts from the Melon Mover the entire day yesterday, and many people were concerned for their safety.

【It’s been almost two days with no news, is the Melon Mover okay?】

【The three-day kill order is about to expire. I’m so worried about the Melon Mover’s situation.】

【The Melon Mover only has Qi Refining Stage cultivation, so things might not be looking good.】

【No, don’t say that! The Melon Mover’s shared melons are the source of my happiness!】

【Who isn’t? I’ve been relying on these melons to get through meals lately.】

【Melon Mover, please come back and say something!】

Just as the cultivators were growing anxious about the Melon Mover’s safety, a new post appeared on the forum.

【The three-day kill order has expired, and the Flower Pavilion is nothing.】

It was the Melon Mover!

It was still the arrogant Melon Mover!

The cultivators who were worried about her couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

【Melon Mover, you didn’t post yesterday! You finally showed up today! Glad you’re okay!】

【Big Boss, I’m really curious where your confidence comes from. I’m also at Qi Refining Stage, but I can’t do what you do. You’ve already revealed all secrets, and you’re still provoking the Flower Pavilion.】

【I wouldn’t dare even after reaching Golden Core. If I offended the Flower Pavilion, I probably wouldn’t even have the mind to cultivate.】

【Melon Mover, really, I’m becoming more and more curious about you.】

【Big Boss, are you just letting us know you’re safe? Why didn’t you share any melons today? I want melons, I want melons, I want melons.】

Under this comment, another reply quickly appeared.

【Which melon from the Flower Pavilion do you want to eat? I’ll make sure to deliver it.】

Upon seeing this reply, the cultivators were all excited.

The Melon Mover is so indulgent!

She can even specify who to eat melons from now? Truly, she is their favorite Melon Mover, different from anyone else!

Secret Realm.

After letting the Melon-Eating System reply to the post, Ning Xu stood up and said, “I have something to do, I need to leave for a while.”

The Innocent Cultivator immediately stood up and said, “I’ll go with you.”

The Melon-Eating System clicked its tongue twice, 【What a clingy little puppy.】

Ning Xu ignored the Melon-Eating System, then looked at the other team members and said, “You all rest here, we’ll be back soon.”

Qing Jiu Immortal said something to the injured team members.

Without delay, Ning Xu and the Innocent Cultivator set off.

【This time, many cultivators who entered the independent space of the Cloud Summit Sect came out with heavy casualties. The only one who knows the truth is looking for Xin Kui in the secret realm.】

Why does she want to find Xin Kui for?

The answer was obvious.

Ning Xu asked, “Has the person who knows the truth found her?”

【They just found her. If we hurry, we’ll still make it.】

—

When Ning Xu and the others arrived near the senior sister, a weak female voice was speaking.

“Ah Kui, many disciples from the sect were injured this time and need help. We should go back quickly.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Xin Kui heard a voice with a hint of disdain.

【Why go back? To be a free, pitiful blood bag?】

【Right, so many people are still waiting for her Universal Healing Blood to save their lives. Of course, she needs to hurry back.】

Xin Kui: !!!

It was Daoist Ning Xu who had arrived, right? She wouldn’t mistake that voice.

She observed her junior sister’s expression for a moment, noticing that her expression was unchanged, so it seemed that she hadn’t heard the voice.

So, did this voice have some sort of filtering mechanism?

Otherwise, why could she hear it but her junior sister couldn’t?

Seeing that her junior sister made no move, Shi Gui, her junior sister, urged her, “Ah Kui, let’s go quickly!”

After hearing the words from the Melon-Eating System, countless thoughts flashed through Xin Kui’s mind.

But she didn’t want to jump to bad conclusions about her fellow disciples.

She sincerely hoped that Shi Gui didn’t know about her situation. She tested her, saying, “Ah Gui, I’m injured too…”

The female cultivator, addressed as Ah Gui by Xin Kui, held Xin Kui’s hand and said sincerely, “I know, but there are many others who are more seriously injured than you. They need us. I feel for you too, but…”

“The fellow disciples are also important.”

【How fake, this is really too fake. She says she feels for her, but if she really did, would she still make Xin Kui go back to save so many people?】

【There are so many injured disciples, even if they used up all of her blood today, it still wouldn’t be enough.】

【Is she trying to make her directly become a tool for exploitation?】

Xin Kui’s long lashes trembled lightly like butterfly wings.

So, did Shi Gui know or not?

Shi Gui was urging her to go back so urgently—did she really not know what would happen to her once she got there?

At this moment, Shi Gui continued to play the emotional card with Xin Kui, “Ah Kui, can you hold on a little longer? Among these injured fellow disciples, there’s also my brother…”

As soon as she said “my brother,” Xin Kui’s expression and breathing changed.

Realizing this, Ah Gui pressed further, “He’s saved you so many times. Haven’t you always been grateful to him? He’s seriously injured, and if we’re too late, we might not see him again. I’m really worried about him…”

Before Ah Gui could continue, the voice interrupted again.

【Save his life? What life are you saving? Isn’t this a trap you deliberately set up? It’s all to gain Xin Kui’s favor, so you can easily take her blood in the future.】

【Tsk, tsk, tsk, Xin Kui treats you as a close friend, but you’re plotting against her every few days.】

【You’re really not a good person.】

Suddenly learning the truth, Xin Kui: ???
