Chapter 1171 Abandoned Mercenary
“Be careful, try not to move his legs.”
“Okay.” They replied and jumped down. They went over together to help move him.
Upon seeing this, the mercenary was a little startled. He looked at them for a long time before finally lowering his eyes.
They moved him over to a flat place and let him sit down leaning against a stone. He smiled and said: “Okay, I’m fine like that.”
Feng Jiu took out food and water from space and handed it to him: “Eat something first and drink some water to quench your thirst.”
“Thank you.” His chapped lips opened as he spoke and reached out to take the food and water, his heart full of gratitude.
While he ate, Feng Jiu checked his injuries on his lower body, there were also injuries on the back of his arm and his back. Although the wound was not deep, due to improper treatment, the wound had already deteriorated. The most serious injury was the one on his left leg, it was not only fractured, but the flesh was marked, probably scratched by wild beasts.
“Your injuries are quite serious, especially your leg.” Feng Jiu said while he was still eating his food.
“Yes, I can only wait for death here.” He smiled. However, his smile showed sorrow as he said wistfully, “Perhaps it would be better if I died immediately. Waiting to die slowly is worse than death itself.”
Abandoned by his team, abandoned by his partner, he had wanted to ask them why they didn’t just end his life? Wouldn’t that have been better?
He had followed his team leader for so many years, braved so many dangers together and risked his life for them. Yet they had just left him while he was unable to walk and injured. What was the point in living anymore?
They knew that by leaving him here, he would either be killed or dragged away by fierce beasts. When he was hungry, he used the dagger they had left him to chip off some bark to eat.
So human nature could really be this selfish, and brothers who said that they would risk their lives for each other until death was false. When he was abandoned by his team, none of the brothers who he’d risked his life for in the past had stood out and spoke up for him.
The brothers who were extremely friendly with him in the past just looked at him with indifference when he was unable to walk or fight anymore. They even took his cosmos sack on his body away.
All they left him with was a rusty dagger, haha, a rusty dagger!
Feng Jiu looked at him and noticed that he was different from the first time they saw him. There was no longer any brilliance between his eyebrows and his body lacked life. There was only indifference and grief, and a breath of extreme disappointment left in him.
Feng Jiu didn’t ask him about what he had experienced during this time, instead, she said: “Just bear with it while I treat your wound.” She then gestured for him to remove his clothes and dirty pants, revealing the wound on his thigh.
“Luo Fei, find a piece of bark for him to bite on.” She instructed without lifting her head.
“No need, this bit of pain is nothing.” He told Feng Jiu: “I can bear it.”
After hearing this, Feng Jiu glanced at him and nodded her head. She took a knife out and removed the rotting flesh on the back of his arm and back. She then cleaned the wounds with medicated wine and bandaged them up after sprinkling medicine on the wounds.
After she dealt with the wounds on his arm and back, she moved on to the injuries on his thigh. It was more troublesome due to the fracture.
As he watched the young boy in red tending to his injuries with proficiency, the mercenary asked, startled: “Are you a doctor?”
Chapter 1172 You Saved My Life
“Don’t I look like one?”
“You do.” He looked at Feng Jiu, whose head never looked up while she tended to his wound: “Your technique is very skillful.”
“Maybe it’s because I get injured quite often or I help others bandage their wounds.” She looked up at him and smiled: “However, unlike you, I don’t save people easily and defend injustice.”
The mercenary froze as he knew that the young boy was talking about the first time they had met when he had protected them. While he was still in a daze thinking about the boy’s words, he heard a crack. Beads of sweat appeared from his forehead and he groaned.
“Alright, I’ve reset the bones, the next step is to apply the medicine.” She said and looked up at him. When she saw his forehead was covered in sweat, she smiled and said: “Relax, it won’t hurt much longer. ”
The rest of them on the side grinned: “You are so lucky that you met us here. Otherwise you would probably be dragged away by fierce beasts or waste away here.”
“Enough chatting, take a look inside your cosmos sacks and see who has pants that he can wear and give it to him.” After Feng Jiu had finished treating his injuries on his thigh, she walked aside to wash his hands with some water.
“He is too big for our clothes, he definitely can’t fit into them. But we have a lot of other people’s clothes from the things we have obtained. There should be something he can wear.”
Ning Lang said and took out a cosmos sack to look through. Not long later, he dug out a set of clothes and compared it for size against the mercenary on the ground then laughed: “Well, this should be fine.”
“Come, I have something to say to you.” Luo Fei pulled Feng Jiu to one side and asked in a low voice: “What should we do now? There’s one more person now. Should we stay here and wait for his injuries to heal and leave together??
“Yes, we will wait for his leg injury to heal and we can leave together.” Feng Jiu nodded and replied.
“We are really going to leave together? The mercenary’s fracture won’t heal in just a few days.” Luo Fei looked over at the mercenary. Although he felt sorry for him, but to stay here with him for ten days to half a month...
Feng Jiu smiled: “There’s no need. Just let him rest, he will be able to walk within three days.”
“Oh? How is that possible? It’s a fracture.” Luo Fei said. When he saw Feng Jiu’s confidence, he couldn’t help but swallow the doubt in his heart.
Forget it! If she said it would be fine then it would be! Anyway, they weren’t in a hurry to leave. Also, at this time, the strong men from the depths of the forest having not found them would have probably left the forest by then. They could afford to stay ten days to half a month if they needed to.
So, they rested there. Although they had food stored in their space, if they wanted to feast on a big meal, there was not enough food. Therefore, the four of them split into two groups, with one of them collecting branches, and the other two hunting game. Feng Jiu stayed behind with the mercenary.
“You have all advanced to Golden Core cultivators?” The mercenary looked at Feng Jiu, unable to hide the surprise in his eyes.
Feng Jiu nodded: “Yes! We advanced some time ago, that’s why we were planning to go home. Our training has ended.” She paused and then asked: “Will you return to the Mercenary Team?”
He looked at the young boy for a very long time and finally replied: “You saved my life. Please give me a chance to repay you.”
Chapter 1173 Mercenary Bi Shan
Upon hearing this, Feng Jiu smiled lightly and waved her hand: “I saved you because you were once kind to us and spoke out to protect us. We are even!”
The mercenary narrowed his eyes and looked down as he spoke slowly: “I have no relatives and friends. I have followed the Mercenary Team everywhere and I have saved at least half of the team’s lives. However, when I couldn’t fight anymore and was unable to walk, they left me behind. Not one of them spoke up for me. They even took my cosmos sack and all my belongings away, leaving me with only a rusty dagger. I will never go back to the Mercenary Team.”
Feng Jiu listened with one hand on her chin, but didn’t speak.
“Young Master, let me leave with you! I can be your guard. I will protect you. I am a Golden Core cultivator, once my injuries have healed, I can still deal with some people.”
“I don’t lack guards and I don’t need anyone’s protection! Shall I ask them on your behalf?” She tilted her head as she asked him.
“Young Master, you are my saviour.” He looked at Feng Jiu with determination.
Feng Jiu frowned as she thought about it. She knew from their first encounter that this person’s heart wasn’t bad. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have come down to save him when she saw that it was him.
But to follow her? She had no shortage of people around her.
“Young Master, I am good at tracking and finding paths. I am notorious for my skills at tracking within the Mercenary Team. If Young Master takes me with him, maybe one day I might be helpful.”
Feng Jiu’s fingers on her chin tapped her face lightly as she thought for a while. Finally, she said: “In order to become my people, you must take an oath. The one thing I can’t stand is betrayal.”
He was happy when he heard those words and immediately raised two fingers as he prepared to take oath. Light flashed between his eyebrows as the mercenary said: “Young Master is Bi Shan’s Master from now on.”
“What master?”
Luo Fei and Duan Ye walked back carrying a wild boar, followed by Ning Lang and Song Ming.
“I took him in.” Feng Jiu turned back to look at them and smiled.
“Oh? You took him in? Why didn’t you take us too?”
Ning Lang ran back once he heard her words. He threw the branches to one side and walked over to Feng Jiu: “Feng Jiu, take us in too! We will be your younger brothers.”
“What? I can’t be bothered with the few of you. I’m telling you, once we leave this place, you better report back at the Academy by yourselves. I have something to do! I won’t take you back.”
“Ah? You’re not coming back with us?” They pulled a long face when they heard this. They had thought that they would be returning to the Academy together!
“No, there is something I need to do urgently.” She said with a smile.
“Then how will we look for you in the future?”
“Why do you need to look for me? Haven’t you guys have caused me enough trouble this past year? If we can help it, we won’t see each other.” She said with a fake smile and waved her hand, refusing to tell them how they could find her.
“Ah! How can you do this?” They stared at her.
“Of course, if you go to the Eight Great Empires in the future, we may meet again.” She smiled lightly and looked at them: “However, if you can’t get there, don’t say that I have taught you before and don’t tell anyone that we know each other.”
Chapter 1174 New Lease Of Life
Upon hearing this, they sighed. Did she hope that they would go to the Eight Great Empires? Although their families had wanted this to happen, they had never thought about it that much. After hearing her words today, a hint of desire developed in their hearts.
“We will most likely go to the One Star Academy to prepare for the Nebula Sect apprentice ceremony.” They replied, having made up their minds. After they have reported back at the Academy, they would go home for a short while and then make their way to the One Star Academy.
“Okay, that’s settled then.” She signaled: “Hurry up and deal with the wild boar so that we can have a good meal.”
“Okay.”
They divided the jobs and worked together. Soon the wild boar was roasting on the grill. They all sat around the fire as the meat roasted and chatted. When finally the fragrance of the meat spread, they took out their small knives to carve out some meat. They placed it on a leaf and gave it to Feng Jiu.
“Try some.”
Feng Jiu took the meat and cut a small piece to try. She nodded: “Mmm, it’s just nice, don’t burn it.”
“Here, this piece is for you.” Ning Lang handed a piece to Bi Shan with a smile: “Since you’re following Feng Jiu, then you’re one of us. Don’t need to be modest.”
Bi Shan thanked him then took the meat and ate it.
“It’s strange, since the eagle left, it hasn’t come back again.” Ning Lang looked at Feng Jiu: “Could he be caught by someone?”
“Probably not. It probably knows that we are leaving so it’s not bothered to come back!” Feng Jiu cut off a piece of meat and ate it. She looked at Ning Lang and asked: “Where is your pet?”
“In the Spirit Beast Space. It is still quite young so I told it to stay inside and not come out unnecessarily.”
“Yes, before it has its strength, it’s best not to show off, otherwise it might get taken away.” She reminded him.
“I know.” Ning Lang nodded in response.
They chatted and ate till it was late into the night before they closed their eyes to rest. Although they were resting, Feng Jiu wasn’t. She was responsible for their safety and keeping an eye on their surroundings. Therefore, after her spirit intent was released and it detected no movement in their surroundings, she went over to Bi Shan’s side when she saw that they were all fast asleep.
“Master?”
As Feng Jiu approached, Bi Shan’s closed eyes opened when he noticed her presence. He was a little surprised when he saw Feng Jiu.
“I am tending to your wound.” She said and signalled for him to be quiet so that the others didn’t wake up. She placed one hand on his injured leg and a turquoise light that resembled the vitality of a tree flowed out of her palm and penetrated into his bone marrow, repairing his fractured bones quickly. Even his wounds had also healed quickly. It was just that they were covered in bandages so it wasn’t obvious.
It was a turquoise light that was visible to the naked eye, full of vitality, warm as a flame. Bi Shan was surprised by this. After about the time it took to burn half an incense stick, he noticed that his master’s face was pale and there was some sweat on her forehead. He asked quickly: “Master, are you alright?”
“I’m fine, I just used up too much energy. Stand up and see how you feel.” She wiped her sweat. It was the first time she had used the vitality for treatment. She wondered how effective it would be?
“I, I can stand up?” Bi Shan asked, startled. When he saw her nod, he moved his leg. He could tell that all the pain in his leg had completely disappeared, it was as if his leg had never been injured at all.
After he recovered from his shock, he stood up to test his leg out. He couldn’t help but be surprised: “Master, my leg, my leg is healed! There’s no more pain and I can walk!”
Chapter 1175 Follow Me
“What are you doing?” Ning Lang asked. When he saw Bi Shan walking, he was stunned: “Isn’t your leg fractured?”
Duan Ye and the rest were also shocked when they saw him walking, his injuries obviously healed. But, how was that possible? Wasn’t his bone broken? No matter how good the medicine was, it couldn’t have healed so quickly could it?
“Yes, it’s healed. Look, I can walk and I can jump.” He said happily. He shook his originally injured leg which was now free of pain.
“Okay, okay, it’s good that you’re fine now. Don’t show off.” Feng Jiu waved her hand and signalled for him to stay there. As soon as she had spoken, she was grabbed by Ning Lang and the rest.
“Feng Jiu, do you have some magic medicine to heal bones? Give me a bottle! Or I can buy it from you too!” Ning Lang looked at him flatteringly. His fleshy hands twisted into a ball and thumped her shoulders.
“I don’t have any.” She said dryly.
“Why not? Look at his leg, it’s healed. Don’t be so stingy. I will buy it from you with money, so just sell it to us.”
“I really don’t have any. I used my hands to heal him, not my medicine. Enough. Since you’re all awake then you will stand guard and I will sleep.” Having said that, she walked over to a tree and sat down beside it.
“Sigh.”
Ning Lang was about to say something else but was stopped by Bi Shan.
“Young Master Ning, my Master is tired, please let him rest!”
It was after they heard this that Ning Lang and the rest had noticed that Feng Jiu’s face looked a little pale. They found it strange but didn’t ask anymore questions. Instead, they asked Bi Shan: “Tell us, how did he heal you? What medicine did he use? Remove the bandage on your leg and let me take a look.”
Bi Shan shook his head when he heard this: “No, if my Master wants to tell you he will tell you himself. Since he didn’t tell you, then I can’t say anything either. I will stand guard, you can do what you like!”
Upon seeing that big guy refuse them so directly, they were shocked. They looked at each other but didn’t say much. Okay! They were familiar with Feng Jiu’s strange temper. Besides, she was full of secrets anyway, it was fine.
Early the next morning, when the first ray of light shone on everyone, they washed their faces with water and rinsed their mouths. After they had something to eat, they prepared to leave.
Feng Jiu looked at them: “The Spirit Forest is fine during the day. If we quicken our speed and travel in the right direction, we should be able to go through the forest in one day. Follow me!”
They nodded and replied: “Yes.”
Along the way, Bi Shan became more and more amazed. At first, he thought that they were all pampered playboys. He hadn’t expected that they were better than him at sensing the surrounding dangers in their environment and stronger than him.
When they first came in, it had taken them a very long time to get through the Spirit Forest and they were constantly attacked by tree spirits. Now, they were used to it.
What surprised him the most was the leadership ability of his new Master. There was no bargaining nor any hesitation at her commands. It was really impressive.
When he thought of this, he knew that his decision to insist on following his new Master was the right thing.
At first, he had thought about travelling on his own, he had no intention of returning to the Mercenary Team. He had only thought about staying by his Master’s side to repay her because she had saved him. But the longer he spent with his Master, the more he realised that she was not just any ordinary person.
Chapter 1176 See His Strength
A group of people followed the figure in red in front of them and used their spiritual breath with each footstep. Their speed was extremely fast, there was almost no stopping at all. Along the way, they hadn’t met any other cultivators or been attacked by any fierce beasts either. By evening, they had passed through the Tree Spirits Forest and arrived at the place where they had first entered the forest through.
They looked across at the cliff on the opposite side, and at the group of cultivators on the other side of the mountain.
“Hey hey hey, look, there’s actually a fat sheep coming to the door.” One of the big men in the group of cultivators grinned, revealing his yellow teeth as he stared at Feng Jiu and the rest.
“I didn’t expect it, they’re just a few kids and they look easy to handle.” Excitement appeared on another man’s face: ” Moreover, these lads have fine skin and tender meat, especially the one in red who is even more beautiful than a woman.”
“Damn, I’ve been in this broken place for a year and I have yet to see any beauties, the boy in red belongs to me!” The head of the loose cultivators was a Golden Core Peak-Stage cultivator. His face was covered in horizontal scars and he looked more like a bandit than a bandit did.
“Boss, you’re right. We wait here and we don’t have to go inside to deal with beast attacks. When we see something good, we snatch it. Your decision is really wise.”
Another cultivator next to him said flatteringly, his tiny pair of eyes stared at Feng Jiu and the rest with bad intentions.
In their view, these five boys were just teenagers, the big guy was stronger but still only a Golden Core cultivator. The rest of them were only Foundation Formation cultivators, so if they didn’t rob them, they were stupid.
In fact, they didn’t know that Feng Jiu had lowered her strength as she didn’t want to appear too inconspicuous. After all, being a Foundation Formation cultivator at their age was already quite startling.
When Ning Lang, Duan Ye and the rest saw that Feng Jiu had lowered her strength to Foundation Formation, they did the same. Their thoughts on this were very simple, since Feng Jiu had lowered her strength, naturally they wouldn’t show off their Golden Core strength either. Besides, they had hoped to surprise their families after returning home.
Therefore, they had also lowered their strength to the Foundation Formation stage. They just hadn’t expected to encounter these short-sighted people as soon as they had left the forest.
“Master, stay here and I will deal with them.” Bi Shan said and pulled out the long sword Feng Jiu had given all of them from his waist, and pointed it at the cultivators in front of him.
“Short-sighted people! Your mouth-smearing words are unbearable!” Bi Shan’s spiritual breath rushed out with bloodthirsty fighting intentions. Although he was a Golden Core Middle-stage cultivator but he had experienced no less than a hundred battles. His fighting abilities were not comparable to ordinary loose cultivators.
Upon seeing this, Feng Jiu acknowledged him with a glance and they retreated to one side.
There were only a dozen or so cultivators in the group, and other than the leader being a Golden Core Peak-stage cultivator, the others were only Foundation Formation stage cultivators. It was an opportunity to see Bi Shan’s fighting power.
Ning Lang and the rest stood idly watching the scene unfold before them. Now that Bi Shan was Feng Jiu’s bodyguard, they should also check to see if he was really qualified to stay by Feng Jiu’s side. If his fighting power was weak, Feng Jiu could send him back after they had left this place.
However, they were a little surprised when they saw the fierce fighting intention and the horrifying intention to kill. His moves were quick and sharp, it was quite unexpected! He had some skill, if he was able to deal with a dozen or so people by himself, he was not bad at all.
“Swish!”
“Clang!”
Chapter 1177 More Than Enough
The sharp air from the sword burst into the air, a stream of air visible to the naked eye hit the throat of one of the Foundation Formation cultivators. At the same time, blood splattered out and the cultivator stumbled backwards without even the chance to scream, he fell into the abyss behind him.
Immediately afterwards, the swords counteracted and the long sword hit the big knife in the hands of the Golden Core cultivator. Sparks flew out as the force of the sword headed forwards.
“Hiss!”
The Golden Core cultivator narrowly avoided the deadly attack in the panic. However, his face was still injured by the sword and blood trickled down from the cut. He quickly backed away and wiped the blood from his face and snarled.
“Get him!”
With a wave of his big knife, he signalled the surrounding cultivators to take him down. He stared at the group of teenagers by the side who looked like they were watching a show and got annoyed.
Damn it!
Those kids were so idle! He will see if they were still so calm when they landed in his hands later on!
He cursed in his heart and started to move towards them. However, the big man had actually kicked a few of his Foundation Formation cultivators off the cliff and killed a few more with the sharp sword in his hand. In less than half the time to burn an incense stick, he had lost more than half his men.
“Ah! Boss, help!”
Some people were still crying for help as they fell into the abyss. Some people were shocked when they saw the situation and retreated out of fear. The more they fought, the more they realised they weren’t his opponent, they exclaimed and tried to escape.
“Trying to escape?”
Bi Shan’s sharp gaze caught sight of them and his foot kicked a stone that flew across and hit the back of their heads.
“Hum!”
They fell to the ground one by one. When he saw this, the Golden Core cultivator took a big step forward and reached for Feng Jiu!
“You dare violate my Master, you are seeking death!”
Bi Shan turned around and saw the loose cultivator had reached out to grab Feng Jiu. His pace turned immediately and he stepped forward and clasped the cultivator’s foot with his hand, pulling him back violently.
Feng Jiu, Duan Ye and the rest watched quietly. Even when they saw the loose cultivator rushing towards them, none of them evaded, as if they knew that man wouldn’t be able to hurt them.
Of course, after all, how could a Golden Core cultivator hurt a Nascent Soul cultivator? In this world, how many evil-doers like Feng Jiu could surpass and kill a Nascent Soul cultivator?
Dare to make a move against Feng Jiu? Death was too slow for him.
However, Bi Shan’s skill and fighting power was an eye-opener for them. If they were to fight against him, it was possible that they wouldn’t be his match either. He was a true Golden Core Middle-stage cultivator. His fighting skill and power was accumulated from each battle. He had the fighting experience that none of them had.
This kind of fighting power wasn’t obtained by eating elixir pills but was improved through fighting battles again and again. After seeing him in this battle, their opinion of him had changed slightly. Although he was not the most outstanding kind of person, but to be Feng Jiu’s bodyguard, he was more than enough.
Of course with Feng Jiu’s Ghost Doctor identity, she probably had Nascent Soul cultivators under her leadership, This was naturally incomparable.
“Ah!”
Shrill cries pulled them out of their thoughts. They saw that Bi Shan had chopped off the arm of the Golden Core cultivator with his sword and kicked him into the abyss behind him. The shrill cries could be heard from below the abyss and echoed in the air......
Chapter 1178 Can’t Be Called Little Fatty If He’s Not Fat
After he put his sword away, the strong body turned around and said: “Master, we can go now.”
Feng Jiu nodded and was about to take a step when she saw an excited Ning Lang next to her leaping forwards and picking up the cosmos sacks and all the belongings on the floor. Upon seeing this, she couldn’t help but touch her forehead as her mouth twitched slightly.
This kid was still the same. Which Golden Core cultivator would care for such little things? What Golden Core cultivator would be as greedy as him?
“Ning Lang, you didn’t lift a finger, do you not feel bad taking the things?” She asked casually. She saw the smile on his face stiffened as he looked up at her with embarrassment.
“Hey, I wasn’t going to keep them for myself! Aren’t I counting up the battle spoils for Bi Shan now?” After he said that, he handed over the items he had collected from those cultivators to Bi Shan: “Here, they’re for you! Keep them safe.”
“This.....” Bi Shan wanted to refuse when he heard his Master’s voice.
“Keep it! Haven’t all your belongings been taken by the mercenaries? It’s just as well you can add to your belongings now and not be empty handed.”
“Yes, thank you Master.” He replied and took the things.
“It’s a good thing that I counted up for you. Aren’t you going to thank me too?” Ning Lang snorted.
“Thank you Young Master Ning.” Bi Shan smiled and bowed.
“That’s much better.” Ning Lang smiled and looked at the space in front of them. He asked, looking at Feng Jiu: “Are we going across the same way we came over?”
“Yes, we can.” Feng Jiu nodded.
Song Ming smiled and walked over: “Look at me.” He went to the edge and used the same method as before, shooting an arrow across with a rope to help get them across.
Not long later, they all walked along the rope one after another and got across. When they had all reached the other side, Song Ming withdrew the rope. They continued to move forward in the dark of the night. By daylight, they finally got out of this place.
“Ah! The sun is out and we are finally out of here too. I am actually not missing an arm or a leg but gained many things instead. I am so happy,”
Ning Lang’s arms were wide open as he cheered loudly. His chubby body ran all around the mountain road, the joy in his body couldn’t be concealed. It made people smile when they saw this.
Feng Jiu smiled lightly and said: “Not only are you not missing your arms and legs, you’ve also gained weight. Have you not noticed that your belly is sticking out again?” Her eyes looked down and fell onto his protruding belly.
After hearing this, everyone else laughed. Ning Lang looked down and touched his belly. He said with a grin: “Hey, my mother said this belly is for storing riches. Since my belly has gotten fatter it means that I have made a lot of money recently. Haha!”
“Bullshit.” Duan Ye shook his head.
“That’s right, have we made less money than you? Why aren’t our bellies as round as yours? If you’re fat, you’re fat. Don’t make excuses. What’s there to hide?” Luo Fei laughed as well and stared playfully at his round belly.
Seeing this, Song Ming waved his hand and smiled: “Okay, okay, enough about him. If he’s not fat, how can he be called Little Fatty? Don’t you all agree? Hahaha!”
Upon hearing this, everyone laughed again. Ning Lang looked like he’d been wronged: “I’m not called Little Fatty. My name is Ning Lang. My name is nice.”
Chapter 1179 Young Master, Catch Mine
They talked and laughed as the fresh breeze swept across their faces, their moods soaring.
After all, they had endured one year of training experience and faced many dangers inside. Now that they had made it out alive and their cultivation strength had advanced and the bond between them was much stronger. This was something that they wouldn’t have been able to achieve at home.
Two days later, in the evening, they came to a city and stayed at an inn. The first thing they instructed the staff to do was to prepare hot water for them to take a hot bath.
They had ordered a whole table full of food and wine. After eating, Luo Fei laughed and said: “We can finally take a good rest. I want to sleep till I wake up naturally tomorrow. No one will wake me up tomorrow.”
“Well, we will also have a good night’s sleep. I haven’t been able to take a good rest at all inside. At last, I can sleep comfortably here.” Song Ming nodded and continued speaking: “We will set off after we are well rested. After all, we are not in a rush.”
Ning Lang nodded: “That’s right, let’s rest for a couple of days first.”
Duan Ye looked at Feng Jiu and asked: “Where will you go next? You’re really not returning to the Academy with us?”
“I am going to the First Grade Country so I won’t go to the Academy. Just report when you return and also ask the Headmaster to send a message to the Six Star Academy to let them know.”
“First Grade Country? They why not come with us? We want to go as well, won’t it be better to have company along the way? If you have anything you need doing, we will also be able to help.”
“No need, I can manage by myself.” She smiled and continued: “It’s not good for the body to sleep immediately after eating. Shall we go out and take a walk around the night market then come back?”
“Alright.”
They responded as they were willing to go shopping as long as they were with her. Things like shopping at the night markets was something that girls enjoyed, so they didn’t understand why Feng Jiu liked going.
So, the few teenagers who weren’t keen on shopping accompanied Feng Jiu to go shopping in the night market. Bi Shan hadn’t gone with them, he had stayed behind in the inn.
The few of them were good looking teenagers with handsome faces and their own characteristics. In addition, they were luxuriously dressed, so it was obvious with one look that they were sons of noble families. As they walked along the street, they naturally attracted the attention of many people, most of them teenage girls.
When they saw the girls raise their handkerchiefs slightly to cover their faces as they smiled shyly at them, Song Ming raised his chin proudly like a noble elegant young master and said: “I am valiant and heroic so naturally I mesmorise thousands girls everywhere I go.”
“Cocky.” Luo Fei glanced at him and said: “They’re obviously looking at me.”
“Of course not. They’re looking at me.” Ning Lang touched his round belly and smiled, his eyes gleaming.
Duan Ye rolled his eyes at those idiots. Those girls were obviously looking at Feng Jiu, not them.
“Young Master.”
A soft voice called out. They looked up and saw some fruit being thrown down from a room upstairs in the building beside them.
Feng Jiu froze for a moment then reached out to catch the fruit. With a charming smile, she ate the fruit.
When they saw this, the rest of them froze for a moment. Then they heard a surprised scream coming from inside the building.
“Ah! He caught my fruit! He ate my fruit.”
“Ah! I want to throw too, Young Master, Young Master, catch my fruit, Young Master.....”
“Young Master, catch mine, Young Master, catch my fruit.”
“Young Master, catch mine.”
Chapter 1180 Ning Lang Selling Frui
For a moment, women on both sides were leaning out of the pavilions above them. Some threw the fruit down and some wrapped the fruit in their handkerchiefs and dropped them down. Fruit was flying all over and everyone in the street was dumbfounded.
“Quick, catch them! Why are you just staring? Don’t waste their good intentions.” Song Ming said and patted the shoulders of his companions. He then pulled his sleeves up and caught the fruit that was being thrown down.
“Oh, oh.”
Ning Lang also recovered from his daze. It just so happened that the stall next to him sold baskets, so he put a basket in each hand and caught the melon and fruit the women threw down from above them. Some of the girls on the street had even bought fruit and put it in his basket directly then ran away bashfully.
“Okay, okay, don’t throw anymore, don’t throw anymore, we can’t carry anymore.”
Ning Lang shouted and walked over to Feng Jiu with the two baskets full of fruits. Seeing that he was eating a fruit in his hand, he couldn’t help but said: “Feng Jiu, there’s so much, how can we finish eating them? Let’s go quickly! Let’s go to the lakeside pavilion for a rest.”
“Let’s go!” Feng Jiu helped to carry one basket. They walked through the street and soon came to the pavilion by the lake.
They put the fruit in the pavilion. Other than the two baskets Ning Lang had collected, the others had also collected pocketfuls of fruit. They shook their heads when they looked at the amount of fruit. They looked at Feng Jiu: “What should we do with so much fruit?”
“Eat it! The fruit is quite fresh. It’s crisp, juicy and sweet.” She picked up another fruit and started eating it: “The girls nowadays are so enthusiastic. It’s not my first time receiving fruit,”
“Eat? How can we finish eating so much fruit?” Song Mong also picked up one and started eating: “If we keep it for too long, it will go bad.”
“That’s simple, I have an idea.” Ning Lang grinned and looked at them saying: “Look, there are so many tourists here. We can sell the fruit here!”
Upon hearing this, Feng Jiu and the rest were stunned. They looked at him strangely and said: “If you want to sell the fruit, you do it, I’m not doing it.”
“I’m not selling either.” Duan Ye shook his head.
“I won’t either.” Luo Fei and Song Ming also said. They didn’t lack money to the extent they had to sell fruit. They would be a laughing stock if people were to hear about this.
Ning Lang laughed: “You’re really not coming? Okay then! I will sell them by myself but I won’t split the money I make.”
With that, he took a basket of fruit and stepped out of the pavilion. He looked at the tourists around him. As most of them were couples, he thought of an idea. He cleared his throat and shouted.
“Lovers fruit! Lovers fruit!”
“Lovers fruit? What lovers fruit?” A young couple walked over curiously. They were disappointed when they saw the fresh fruit.
“This is lovers fruit! A green fruit and a red fruit makes a pair. It’s fruit only sold to lovers. If a couple doesn’t look like a pair of lovers, I won’t sell them.” Ning Lang said with a smile. He picked up a pair of fruit and handed it forward: “Young Master, buy a pair! Treat this elegant and beautiful girl to a lovers fruit which is sweet, crisp and delicious!”
Ning Lang was naturally chubby and flattering, now that he had said this speech, not just the woman, but even man couldn’t help but listen to him and feel happy. He looked at the woman beside him and smiled saying: “Then sell us a pair!”
