Seeing that Ji Luofei did not say anything, Ning Cheng did not continue to ask her, he was thinking about Ji Luofei’s words. Ji Luofei said that since her grandfather had pa*sed away, no one had treated her so well. But when he thought about it, he hadn’t treated her that well, had he?
If the only thing that might have touched Ji Luofei a little was when he asked her to go first after they were stopped by two late stage Qi gathering cultivators behind the Cang Qin Two Star Academy. If that was the case, it would have been a real shame. It was obvious then that both of them would be dead if they didn’t go. He had let Ji Luofei go first just on the off-chance that it would prove that even if Ji Luofei went first, he would not be able to stop the two late Qi gathering guys for half a minute.
“Luo Fei, if you’re talking about that day when we escaped, in fact, whether I would have done that or not, I guess we would have ended up dead if your aunt hadn’t come. There is really no way for my strength to stop those two people and let you walk away, not to mention that you are not willing to go either.” Ning Cheng said very dryly after thinking clearly.
“Star Shaped Poplar Tree ……” Without waiting for Ji Luofei to reply, Ning Cheng had already stopped in surprise.
This star-shaped poplar tree was exactly the sixth desert marker he had given Tai Shu Shi on that map, and going forward in the direction of the largest star corner of this poplar tree was the correct direction. And about three days straight ahead from here, a small desert oasis would be seen.
“Let’s rest here.” Ning Cheng said having put down Ji Luofei.
Having found the new markings on the route map, Ning Cheng was truly relieved, he knew that as long as he walked along this correct route, the danger would be absolutely minimal.
In a short time Ning Cheng had already set up a simple tent, “Luo Fei, you go inside the tent and take a rest, I will look around and take a rest as well ……”
Ji Luofei was just off her feet, and did not suffer from multiple injuries.
Ji Luofei looked at Ning Cheng for a while, until Ning Cheng touched his face with his hand, then she said something inexplicable, “I won’t leave.”
As he watched Ji Luofei enter the tent, Ning Cheng shook his head helplessly and also cleaned himself and changed into a set of clothes. Then he began to set up formations around the tent, and by the time Ning Cheng’s formations were finished, Ji Luofei had already come out from inside the tent.
Her face was still the same as before, with a few extremely ugly slash marks, but Ning Cheng felt a completely different Ji Luofei than before.
Her clothes were still the same, but she had washed them decisively with water, and her hair had also been rearranged and knotted into a beautiful bun, Ning Cheng only knew that it was a beautiful bun, but he didn’t know exactly what kind of bun it was.
The already torn dress was also tied in a knot by her, matching her slim waist and making her look even more innocent and beautiful.
It was obvious that Ji Luofei had dressed herself up despite the limited conditions. In Ning Cheng’s present and past memories, it seemed that Ji Luofei had never bothered to dress herself deliberately. I never thought that when she dressed up like this, she would give Ning Cheng an indescribable liking.
The most obvious thing was not the change in her clothes and hair bun, but the fact that her entire person seemed different from before, and it was impossible to tell exactly what had changed. If one had to describe it, it was as if she used to be a pool of stagnant water, but now she was a flowing clear spring.
“Luo Fei, you should have dressed up like this a long time ago, I think it’s beautiful.” Ning Cheng complimented from the bottom of his heart.
Ji Luofei seemed to be secretly relieved, her face slightly red as she said in a low voice, “Ning Cheng, come in too.”
“Good, I have some things to ask you as well.” Ning Cheng hurriedly followed Ji Luofei into the tent.
“I’ve lost all my parcels too, and I don’t have any other clothes.” As if to explain why she was still wearing this set of clothes, Ji Luofei added another sentence after entering the tent.
“Your aunt is a Yuan Building Realm cultivator, why didn’t she give you a storage bag? Even if you don’t have a storage bag, you should have a Nascent Pouch, right?” Ning Cheng frowned and spoke.
Ji Luofei said in a calm tone, “I left all the things my aunt gave me to my aunt.”
“Why? Does your aunt not know that you came to the Falling Thunder Desert?” Ning Cheng asked offhandedly.
Ji Luofei fell silent and did not answer this question from Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng instantly understood what was going on, Ji Luofei must have had some unpleasantness with her aunt, it was better not to ask about such things.
Originally, Ning Cheng was still considering whether or not to tell Ji Luofei about Xiong Qihua, but now that he saw that Ji Luofei and her aunt had already had unpleasantness, he instantly decided not to tell anyone about this matter. Lest he hurt Ji Luofei’s heart again.
“Sit down.” Ning Cheng said as he took out two chairs and placed them on the ground.
After Ji Luofei sat down, a silence fell between the two again.
Ji Luofei was not good with words and simply did not know what she should say. Ning Cheng was eager to ask Ji Luofei why she had left from the Chemical Continent, but when he thought that he had asked several times before, Ji Luofei had not answered, so he guessed that it was something sad and he did not know how he should talk about it.
“Ning Cheng, how come your cultivation level has become so high?” Ji Luofei finally broke the silence.
Ning Cheng did not hide anything and told how he had escaped from Cang Le City, as well as how he had met An Yi and then arrived at Mango City. Some of the things that happened in between were told, and then he found another Spiritual Marrow Spring in the Daan Forest, and his cultivation level had increased a lot because of all this.
Apart from the matter of the Xuanhuang Pearl and Ji Luofei’s mother, Ning Cheng had said the rest. He believed that Ji Luofei would not just tell anyone about him, and there were many things that An Yi also knew. In Ning Cheng’s heart, Ji Luofei was that much closer to him than An Yi, and there was no need for him to hide things that An Yi knew about from Ji Luofei.
After all, the relationship with Ji Luofei was still that of an unmarried couple, which had not been dissolved at least until now.
Ji Luofei was obviously taken in by Ning Cheng’s thrilling experience, her hand gripping tightly for a while and letting go for a while. It was only when Ning Cheng said that he had come out of that Blue Yi True Kingdom ruin and then met her again that she was relieved. Her heart even pounded when she heard that Ning Cheng had obtained hundreds of spirit stones. Even in the Hua Continent, the Spirit Stones her aunt had given her were only a dozen at most. These spirit stones, she had also returned all of them to her aunt.
Later, when she heard that Ning Cheng had obtained tens of thousands of spirit stones at a time, she almost went numb.
When Ning Cheng finished speaking, he had already remembered the jade seal that he had obtained, but he did not intend to take it out now to look at it. This was not a safe place, and in case any of the aura of this jade seal leaked out, he would be asking for trouble.
Ning Cheng took out a storage bag, which already had a thousand spirit stones inside it, and Ning Cheng took another flying sword and a few sets of his own clothes and put them into the storage bag.
“Luo Fei, this is for you. The clothes are only for me, wait until we get to the Continent of Transformation and then you can purchase some more clothes that you need.” Ning Cheng handed the storage bag to Ji Luofei, he was worried that Ji Luofei wouldn’t even want her aunt’s storage bag and would also not want his.
“Hm.” To Ning Cheng’s surprise, Ji Luofei took the storage bag given by Ning Cheng without half a moment’s hesitation, then tied the storage bag around her waist without even saying a word of thanks.
Ning Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, he really had several of these storage bags now. Ji Luofei’s poor cultivation level must have been due to the gong methods, apart from the lack of cultivation resources.
“Luo Fei, do you know what your spiritual root is?” Ning Cheng still had a water-based Xuan-level gong method and an earth-based Xuan-level gong method on him. If Ji Luofei’s spiritual roots were not Water and Earth, then he could only help her look at them himself.
“I have dual spiritual roots of water and fire, and my main spiritual root leans towards the water system.” When Ji Luofei heard Ning Cheng ask about her spiritual roots, she immediately remembered Ning Cheng’s spiritual roots. Ning Cheng’s spiritual roots were so poor, even if he had received those chances, he wouldn’t be able to cultivate so fast, right?
Ning Cheng clapped his hands and said with a smile, “Great, I happen to have a Xuan level water cultivation technique here, you should not cultivate your original technique in the future, just cultivate the water technique.”
After saying that, Ning Cheng took out another jade slip and handed it to Ji Luofei, “It doesn’t matter if you can’t read the jade slip, I’ll teach you slowly in the early stages, you’ll know it later.”
“Mm.” Ji Luofei, just like Ning Cheng before, did not know very much about the preciousness of Xuan level merit methods, she just knew that it should be much better than the merit methods she had cultivated before.
“Luo Fei, you have a thousand lower grade spirit stones inside your storage bag, so you can use them to cultivate in the future. With your qualifications, you will definitely be able to condense your true …… in no time.”
Hearing Ning Cheng say that she already had a thousand spirit stones in her storage bag, Ji Luofei was so shocked that she stood up. Only the most core students of Meteorite Academy and some cultivators above Condensing True had hundreds or thousands of spirit stones. A person with dual spiritual roots like her, although she was treated somewhat at Meteorite Academy, was much worse in comparison. And she also needed to work hard to do some tasks on her own to get it, she had just arrived at Meteorite Academy not long ago and left, she hadn’t even had the chance to do the tasks yet.
“Ning Cheng, my qualifications are better than yours, you can keep the spirit stones for your own use.” Ji Luofei hurriedly wanted to leave the spirit stones to Ning Cheng. It was completely unclear that that water-based Xuan-grade merit method was not known how many times more precious than a thousand spirit stones.
Ning Cheng tapped his storage bag, “I still have several thousand spirit stones, so you don’t have to worry about it. Now tell me why you came to the Falling Thunder Desert alone.”
Seeing that Ji Luofei had calmed down, Ning Cheng knew that this was the time to ask her and she should answer.
Ji Luofei lowered her head and said in a somewhat lost tone, “My aunt must want me to marry into the Shui Family, one of the seven great families of the Huazhou Continent, and I don’t agree. I wanted to return to the Cang Qin Kingdom to see you, so I entered the Falling Thunder Desert alone ……”
“This trifling b*tch ……” Ning Cheng rose in anger.
