"What? Caught in the act and still thinking of resisting?" Wen Zhixing spoke again, seeing Shen Lingjun frozen in place.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Shen Lingjun snapped back to reality, bowing her head and starting to rummage through her belongings.
She pulled out bottles of elixirs, one after another. A trace of unwillingness flashed across her face; she clearly didn’t want to give up so easily. Having infiltrated the Wonderous Palace for so long, I finally seized this excellent opportunity to steal the elixirs, only to have it fall through at the last mont.
But facing Ning Shan, she dared not resist. Ning Shan’s strength was not sothing she could contend with.
Just as she was about to hand over so elixirs to bluff her way through, Wen Zhixing took a step forward and scoffed, "Are you playing with ?"
He was about to take action himself.
"Ning... I..." Shen Lingjun’s complexion paled; it seed these elixirs were lost to her. Unless I make a move now...
"Audacious!" Wen Zhixing, becoming aware, fixed her with a cold glance, unsheathed the Sword Pill holding it to her neck, and said, "Don’t make do this the hard way."
"No... I wouldn’t dare." Shen Lingjun’s neck shrank, obediently not daring to move.
Imdiately, Wen Zhixing’s hands moved quickly over her body, searching. A faint tingling sensation spread from her neck to all her limbs, and Shen Lingjun felt an odd sensation. Her slender legs tensed suddenly.
Why does this hand feel so big... Strange... Shen Lingjun suddenly lowered her long eyelashes and stole a glance at those fingers, long and slender like green onions, feeling puzzled. It doesn’t seem that large...
Wen Zhixing naturally had no intention of taking advantage of anyone. He simply wanted to fish out a bit more, so his search was more thorough. As soon as he touched those items, panel prompts would pop up.
"[Storage Bracelet: White Quality, with fifty cubic ters of storage space, unable to store living creatures.]"
"[Consu 100 Fortune Points to upgrade to Blue Quality.]"
Fifty cubic ters of storage space, not bad! Wen Zhixing was pleased. Although it couldn’t store living creatures, the storage space was rather large.
Shen Lingjun only felt her wrist lighten as the Storage Bracelet was easily removed.
"Ning..." Shen Lingjun was startled, lifting her head to et Wen Zhixing’s profound gaze, her voice imdiately deflating.
"Remove your spiritual sense imprint."
"Yes." She dared not resist, and with a thought, she detached her imprint from it.
Wen Zhixing nodded in satisfaction, then directly wore the Storage Bracelet on his left wrist.
"Ning... This is the Storage Bracelet awarded to by my Master..." Shen Lingjun’s eyes widened slightly. Is Ning Shan planning to keep it for herself?
"These items, I will naturally hand over to the Law Enforcent Elder." Wen Zhixing’s expression remained unchanged, his tone righteous.
There isn’t a single good person in the Wonderous Palace. Even though Shen Lingjun seems a bit better on the surface, who knows what she’s done behind closed doors. He didn’t feel the slightest guilt as he seized the items.
His hands continued to search. Soon, they moved from her delicate wrist up to her smooth neck. As she felt a sudden chill on her chest, Wen Zhixing took a jade pendant from her and put it into his Universe Belt.
"Ning..." Shen Lingjun was suddenly speechless. Seriously, what are you doing? Before, it could at least be explained, but this is outright robbery!
"What, you think handing over those elixirs is enough?" Wen Zhixing gave a cold laugh as he spoke.
Shen Lingjun opened her mouth but was rendered speechless. Helpless.
Wen Zhixing quickly searched again. After taking a few more Spiritual Instrunts, he snorted coldly and said, "Considering this your first offense, I won’t hold you accountable today."
This was a critical mont, and he didn’t have ti to waste with Shen Lingjun. He still had things to steal.
"Huh?" Shen Lingjun was stunned. She had thought she might be severely punished and had even planned her escape. But Ning Shan is just going to let it slide?
"Don’t you understand?" Wen Zhixing, disguised as Ning Shan, furrowed her brows. "Now get lost."
"Understood, understood! I’m leaving right now, this very instant!" Shen Lingjun was overjoyed, nodding hurriedly. Fearing that "Ning Shan" might change her mind, she turned and ran.
As soon as Shen Lingjun left, Wen Zhixing imdiately made his move, intending to take all the remaining elixirs.
With so many elixirs, I should have enough for my cultivation. I won’t be lacking elixirs for a while. Wen Zhixing couldn’t help but feel a surge of joy. Co to think of it, I should thank Shen Lingjun. If she hadn’t disabled the Prohibitions here, I wouldn’t have been able to collect the elixirs so smoothly. After all, with Prohibitions in place, forcibly breaking through would have been tantamount to exposing myself. It’s a pity, though, that the Spiritual Instrunts in the Refining Artifact Hall are probably also protected by Prohibitions. It seems I won’t be able to collect them.
...
Strange. After leaving, the more Shen Lingjun thought about it, the more sothing felt amiss. What was Ning Shan doing here? Just passing by? That doesn’t make sense. Coming to the alchemy room at this ti is far too suspicious.
Wait a minute. Suddenly, Shen Lingjun realized sothing, her eyes widening. Could this Ning Shan be an impostor?
No matter how she thought about it, this Ning Shan seed to be here to fish in troubled waters. Her actions, that look in her eyes, were sowhat different from the usual Ning Shan.
I’ve been tricked! Shen Lingjun ca to her senses, turned around, and dashed back inside.
"Who’s there!" Sensing soone’s approach, Wen Zhixing, disguised as Ning Shan, suddenly turned, his action of collecting elixirs halting abruptly.
Shen Lingjun’s expression beca one of ’I knew it!’ as she said, "You really are an impostor!"
Wen Zhixing remained silent, his eyes narrowing slightly. It seems I’ve been exposed. If I hadn’t been afraid of alerting the people outside, I would have killed her just now. But now, it seems I’ll have no choice but to make a move. His wrist twitched slightly, and a faint light flashed over the Sword Pill.
"Ning, we could actually cooperate," Shen Lingjun suddenly said, glancing at the Sword Pill.
"How would we cooperate?" Wen Zhixing’s expression shifted at her words.
"Ning must also be a fellow practitioner. I won’t beat around the bush. The Prohibitions within the Wonderous Palace were all set up by my Master, and I learned how to disable them long ago," Shen Lingjun said with a confident smile. "Of course, Ning can surely disable Prohibitions too, but with here, it will certainly be quicker. Afterwards, we can split the gains equally, and I won’t speak of this matter to anyone else. What do you say, Ning?"
Disable the Prohibitions? Wen Zhixing mused. Honestly, I didn’t even know about the Prohibitions at first. And my current cultivation level isn’t enough to disable any Prohibitions.
"Alright." Wen Zhixing imdiately put away the Sword Pill, showing his sincerity. Although it ans getting half less, without Shen Lingjun, I wouldn’t be able to get anything at all.
"A pleasure to cooperate." Shen Lingjun felt slightly relieved. This ’Ning Shan,’ whoever they are, must possess significant cultivation to dare steal elixirs so brazenly. Luckily, they agreed.
"Where to first?" Shen Lingjun asked.
"Refinent Peak."
"Alright."
The two exchanged glances and quietly headed out. However, they still kept so distance between them, clearly not trusting each other.
「Outside.」
Everyone was still distracted by the battle in the distance; no one was paying attention here.
Wen Zhixing looked up. It’s a bit strange. The two Divine Communication Realm experts from the Righteous Sun Sect have already fallen into the trap. Why hasn’t Si Nanyan taken action yet? What is she waiting for?
What Wen Zhixing didn’t know was that Si Nanyan was planning to go big. It wasn’t Wang Shiyang or Xu An she wanted to kill, but to directly ensnare the Sect Master of the Righteous Sun Sect, Liu Qingxuan. She refused to believe it; news of the Pure Yang Body was out. Could Liu Qingxuan truly resist coming?
「anwhile, at Wen Zhixing’s residence.」
A figure slowly appeared from the darkness. His gaze quickly swept across the room, then he suddenly frowned. Where is everyone?
