Chapter 1069: Chapter 96: Ningning Returns_2
The serpentine monster they encountered landed from Jinlan Bay, and then wreaked havoc around. Its crimson scales continually emitted white-hot steam, making everything it touched either lt or burn, clearly having encountered extrely high temperatures and heat, a complete opposite to the Northern Border’s giant snake.
With the collapse of the mortal world, the activity range of humans in the Southern Border quickly shrank, surrounded by flying birds, beasts, and large forests. The Northern Border used a thod of clearing the area with strong soldiers, which was unusable in the Southern Border, so the sorcerers collectively sought aid from Lu Country.
Lu Country hadn’t even resolved the Bohai Giant Snake yet, so how could it spare effort to help the Southern Border? However, considering that the stone from another mountain can polish jade, perhaps there was so commonality between the two serpentine monsters that could help find a thod to conquer them. Therefore, they mobilized the army, intending to send several Golden Core True n over, nominally to assist in battle, but in reality to observe.
After much selection, two people were chosen: Tang Xiaolian and Zhao Yuanzhen.
Needless to say, Tang Xiaolian’s Hundred Poison Golden Silkworm Gu was famously impervious to water and fire, with docunted evidence. Zhao Yuanzhen had once used the Fire Control Technique during his Crossing Tribulation, which might also be effective against this high-temperature snake monster.
The two had a fierce battle against Yan Yu last night and suffered a crushing defeat. The next morning, they received orders from superiors and imdiately set out.
When Yan Yu awoke, it was already late morning. There was a bowl of rice noodles on the table made by Tang Xiaolian for breakfast, along with a note saying that she went on a mission with Sister Zhao, and advised him and Ling Yun to handle lunch themselves.
Tsk, this little girl, no surprise her family runs a guesthouse, Enchantress, can’t you learn from others?
Yan Yu, holding his waist, left the room, staggering down the stairs, wondering why his own physique wasn’t bad, but his spirit was in such a sluggish state.
Alcohol and lust, they have hard too much!
From today onwards, I’ll quit drinking!
Chen Lingyun glanced at him but said nothing, just smiled.
Although she remained silent, just by looking at her expression, Yan Yu knew she was being sarcastic, and felt even more dissatisfied.
What are you thinking? Don’t assu I don’t know, huh!
“Now that Tang Xiaolian is gone, what are we eating for lunch?” He casually lay down on the sofa and asked.
“No one’s cooking, so let’s order food.” Chen Lingyun smiled and said.
Miss Chen’s version of ordering food wasn’t just assembling a al, but having so professional kitchen team send over a grand feast. The taste would certainly be impeccable, but it was entirely tailored to Chen Lingyun’s preferences.
Yan Yu, who got sick of these sugar-laden als in his past life, quickly waved his hands:
“Never mind, you eat yours, I’ll order my own.”
“If you order, I’ll eat with you.” Chen Lingyun’s smile remained unchanged, “It’s been a long ti since I ordered takeout; I kind of miss common people’s food.”
“Tone down that arrogant deanor of yours.” Yan Yu sighed and said, “Takeout, catering to the majority crowd’s taste, is almost always heavy in oil and salt. Anyone slightly skilled in cooking can easily outdo them. Alas, it’s a pity Ningning isn’t here…”
He tossed and turned on the sofa, suddenly sitting up and grabbing his phone, exclaiming:
“Ningning has returned from Crossing Tribulation!”
————————
Lin Ning’s Crossing Tribulation ca with little suspense.
The team cultivators were selected from millions of college entrance exam candidates, choosing a few hundred with outstanding cultivation talent, then further selecting the best 40, each one a genius among geniuses.
Even though Lin Ning’s cultivation talent was “not considered outstanding,” it was only among those 40. Compared to the general team cultivators, it was already quite superior, not to ntion the Military Mansion Cultivators and Civilian Cultivators.
Combined with vast cultivation resources, failing Crossing Tribulation would be strange. If she couldn’t make it, civilian cultivators shouldn’t even think of achieving Core Formation.
“Ah.” Jing Zhongxian spoke up, “Your…what kind of ability…”
“Industrial production capability.” Lin Ning added.
“Yes, industrial production capability.” Jing Zhongxian marveled, “Mass-producing Flying Sword Magic Treasures, it looks defiant in every way. With boundless resource accumulation, it’s as if Golden Core True n can be mass-produced!”
“That doesn’t an everyone can get through Crossing Tribulation.” Lin Ning said plainly, “In your Cultivation World, if an elder with a Nascent Soul bestows a powerful Magic Treasure to a younger undergoing Golden Core Tribulation, isn’t it also easy enough?”
“Not everyone has powerful Magic Treasures; your industrial production capability is like generating a powerful Magic Treasure every now and then, that’s truly impressive!”
Originally insufferably arrogant, disdainful of everything, Jing Zhongxian lavishly praised Lu Country’s industrial level, making Lin Ning feel a sense of pride.
But realizing that most people had already finished Crossing Tribulation, while she only achieved Core Formation late, she felt a bit disheartened.
“Don’t belittle yourself like that.” Jing Zhongxian consoled her, “Your Crossing Tribulation order is clearly based on cultivation talent. For Core Formation Tribulation, the simplest thod is Taoism thod bombardnt, just battle with True Yuan and exhaustion to get it done.”
“The Sword Immortal’s thods require more skill, and you don’t have senior experience to draw from, so it’s normal for the Sword Immortal to undergo Tribulation later, which doesn’t an your strength is inferior to theirs.”
Lin Ning felt sowhat comforted by this, but having spent so long with Jing Zhongxian, she knew he was a knife-mouthed, tofu-hearted person. The previous words were possibly just to comfort her purposely, so she hadn’t fully regained her spirits.
Then, thinking about seeing the captain and boyfriend once back, she felt a bit joyful, pleasantly excited.
Landing at the villa entrance, Lin Ning thought whether she should pass through the wall to give her boyfriend a little surprise, or knock on the door properly?
Not knocking feels like sothing’s missing, forget it.
Lin Ning knocked on the door first, then called out “I’m back,” before passing through the wall directly inside.
And then, she saw both Yan Yu and Chen Lingyun lying on the sofa directly.
“Captain! Captain, what happened to you?” Lin Ning didn’t bother with Chen Lingyun and rushed straight to Yan Yu’s side, quickly helping him up.
“Nothing.” Yan Yu waved his hand and said, “Just hungry.”
Of course, it couldn’t be hunger. Cultivators, after fasting, no longer rely on regular als or suffer from hunger. They just thought Lin Ning would co back at noon, waited till 4 PM, and were actually just bored.
However, Lin Ning did not know this, she thought it was really because she ca late, making the captain and Sister Lingyun starve, and hurriedly rushed into the kitchen, shouting:
“I’m making sothing for you right now! What would you like to eat?”
“Fried noodles!” “Fried pork chops!” The two on the sofa shouted simultaneously, but their voices no longer sounded weak.
Half an hour later, after sweeping away Lin Ning’s dishes, they finally rejuvenated.
Chen Lingyun leisurely used dental floss, while listening to Yan Yu wryly said:
“Ningning, you’re finally back. You have no idea how we managed without you…”
“First Yun Jin cooked for you, then Tang Xiaolian made you als.” Lin Ning said.
“How did you know that?” Yan Yu asked, surprised.
“Hmph, if you don’t eat properly, you’re not fooling .” Lin Ning said proudly, raising her chin.
This arrogant and cocky little expression stirred within Yan Yu a slight urge to bully her, surely influenced by Chen Lingyun’s malicious personality.
That night, Lin Ning indeed cried out. Yan Yu had no pity for her, thoroughly bullying her.
After she fell into a deep sleep, Yan Yu tucked her in, suddenly noticing that Chen Lingyun had entered through the wall without him knowing, standing by the bedside.
“What are you doing?” Yan Yu frowned and asked, “Always appearing and disappearing unpredictably.”
“I’m a Necromancer.” Chen Lingyun smiled and said, “Of course, I move like a ghost.”
“You still haven’t answered my question.” Yan Yu lazily asked, “What are you doing here?”
“To complete what Ningning left unfinished.” Chen Lingyun stated.
“Ha!” Yan Yu laughed, “You want it? Beg then!”
“Aren’t you afraid that you might not be up for it anymore?” Chen Lingyun had anticipated that if she really begged him, it would only result in a “But, I refuse,” or “I just wanted to see your expression, the expression of pleading humiliation,” so she resorted to a strategy of appeal instead.
“, incompetent? Nonsense!” Yan Yu went along with it and said, “Bring it on! Let show you my prowess!”
Lin Ning, lying beside them, opened her eyes facing away from them, silently clenching her blanket.
