Chapter 199-200: Dongfang Muqing Possessed by the God of Killing
Dongfang Muqing had already succumbed to the temptation of delicious food and entered the city.
“I sll roasted goose. I want scallion pancakes. Let’s go eat at that place,” Dongfang Muqing said excitedly, clinging to Luo Sheng’s arm.
It had been a long ti since she had indulged in a big al.
Soon after, the two arrived at the tavern. Dongfang Muqing unceremoniously slapped gold coins in front of the proprietor. In monts, they were led by the owner to a secluded and quiet private room.
Opening the window, they could see the bustling street below, with crowds coming and going.
“This spot is just perfect,” Dongfang Muqing said, sitting on a half-ter-high stool, swinging her short legs and admiring the view outside.
Sunlight stread in, shining on her cyan-colored hair, making it gleam brilliantly. The bells under her bun jingled constantly as they swayed.
Luo Sheng sipped tea while watching her.
He noticed that her happiness didn’t last long, and an indescribable bitterness appeared on her face, probably recalling her previous experiences – a taste of sweetness after enduring hardships.
Luo Sheng could sense that this little girl had indeed suffered quite a bit.
Her current happiness was perhaps just to avoid making him worry.
Luo Sheng took out a card, and after a flash of light, the 【Ten Thousand Year Stalactite】 appeared before his eyes.
It was a translucent milky-white stone, emitting a llow fragrance.
Although it looked like a stone, after ten thousand years of refinent, it contained vigorous spiritual energy and various unique tallic minerals.
“What’s this? It slls quite nice,” Dongfang Muqing was drawn to the stalactite.
Luo Sheng heard the eagerness in her voice.
He felt reassured.
He recalled when he previously enhanced Acoley, who refused to accept it because it was too expensive. In the end, it took so effort, with the help of Grandma Gu, to complete the task.
Luo Sheng gently pushed the ten-thousand-year stalactite towards her: “This is a gift for you. Eat it, don’t waste my goodwill.”
Dongfang Muqing looked at the stone full of spiritual energy.
With a suspicious look in her eyes, she asked, “This kind of thing is very expensive. You didn’t take a huge risk, did you?”
“No, I saw it was extraordinary and bought it from a rchant,” Luo Sheng casually fabricated a lie.
Hearing that Luo Sheng hadn’t taken any risks or encountered any danger, Dongfang Muqing finally relaxed.
Then she said, “Well then, I won’t be polite.”
Afterwards, she swallowed the entire stone. It wasn’t very big, about the size of an egg.
After Dongfang Muqing swallowed it, her eyes lit up.
Not only was the taste of the stalactite delicious – like flavored salt – but after entering her stomach, the ten-thousand-year stalactite seed to activate, continuously emitting strong waves of spiritual energy, nourishing Dongfang Muqing’s entire body.
She felt as if she had transcended.
Her cultivation, which had been stagnant for a long ti, began to show signs of movent at this mont.
A mont later, she broke through the bottleneck, and her cultivation increased rapidly. She could feel the abundant spiritual energy constantly emanating from her body, and her senses beca sharper.
This stone must be very expensive, Dongfang Muqing thought.
After all, sothing that could help an Azure Phoenix improve cultivation and refine the physical body was no ordinary object.
If news of this ten-thousand-year stalactite spread, it would probably make the surrounding cultivation families green with envy, and might even cause a great war.
On the other side, Luo Sheng observed Dongfang Muqing’s every move.
He sensed Dongfang Muqing’s level constantly rising, from Silver 1-star to Silver 2-star, and then to Silver 3-star.
Moreover, her originally smooth and flawless skin beca even more refined, like a precious jade.
She exuded a more mature charm. The ten-thousand-year stalactite could propel her growth, condensing her aura.
The changes brought by the ten-thousand-year stalactite were enormous.
Luo Sheng held 【Bai Moxue】 card in his hand to prevent any accidents. If she were to undergo a drastic transformation, he would call Bai Moxue to seal off the surroundings and prevent outsiders from entering.
However, Luo Sheng hadn’t expected that after 10 minutes, Dongfang Muqing gradually awakened from her trance, her clear eyes becoming profound, shimring like a dream.
The stalactite had completely integrated into her body.
“Thank you, Luo Sheng.”
After opening her eyes, Dongfang Muqing was no longer as restless as before, and her aura had beco much more stable.
She solemnly thanked Luo Sheng.
At this mont, a knock was heard from outside the door. “Honored guests, your dishes are ready.”
“Co in.”
“Certainly.”
The door opened, and the proprietor kept urging the waiter to bring in the dishes quickly, not wanting to keep the guests waiting.
Instantly, the table was filled with various signature dishes from the tavern, including osmanthus fish, abalone, roasted goose, braised pork, spring rolls, and so on.
The room was imdiately filled with a delicious aroma that made one’s mouth water.
Dongfang Muqing couldn’t help but drool.
She then began to eat voraciously, enjoying the food imnsely. Her mouth was sared with oil, glistening in the light like a watery pudding.
Luo Sheng quietly admired her, enjoying a mont of peace.
“Eat slowly, no one’s going to steal your food. Don’t choke yourself,” he admonished her.
“Mmm… it’s so delicious. This young lady hasn’t had anything good to eat for over two months. I’m tired of the stuff in that forest, mmm~” Dongfang Muqing exclaid while eating.
But after eating for less than 5 minutes, she frowned.
Because soone was disturbing them.
Luo Sheng also sensed enemies appearing around them. Obviously, his conspicuous behavior had finally attracted the Nangong family, who had surrounded the tavern.
He could even hear the clanking of chains not far away.
They were preparing to capture or kill them.
Luo Sheng continued to speak to Dongfang Muqing: “You keep eating. I’ll handle these people.”
After all, Dongfang Muqing was a card girl specializing in enhancent and support.
So she wasn’t skilled in combat.
Luo Sheng had planned to enter the card world simply to enhance her, treating her like a precious girlfriend to be pampered. As for dangerous matters, he could handle them himself.
But Dongfang Muqing shook her little head.
“Let
do it. This trouble was originally caused by , so it’s better if I deal with them myself.”
“You can still fight?”
“Mm~ After refining the stalactite just now, I discovered an awakened ability. It’s perfect for warming up,” Dongfang Muqing rolled up her sleeves, looking eager to try.
Luo Sheng nodded, “Alright, be careful. Oh, right, take this.”
He brought out the 【Heavenly Silk Fairy Zither】.
A jade-green zither appeared before their eyes.
Luo Sheng handed this harp to her.
Dongfang Muqing’s eyes widened, her joy evident on her face, the corners of her mouth never dropping.
“I love this zither so much. Although it’s still a bit ugly, it suits
well. You’re always giving
so many things, I’m going to feel embarrassed,” Dongfang Muqing said with a slight blush on her face, sowhat coyly.
After all, she had said she would be the one to keep Luo Sheng.
Now it was the opposite, with him taking care of her in every way, even giving her a lot of things.
