“Distinguished guest, our king has an invitation.” The middle-aged woman said as she saluted Ning Cheng very respectfully.
Ning Cheng’s divine sense could already extend beyond a hundred meters, so he at least had some self-protection power. He did not have the trepidation he had before at the invitation of the young girl’s king, Lan Bing, and gladly followed the middle-aged woman there.
The middle-aged woman brought Ning Cheng outside of Lan Bing’s room and did not go in, but only bowed to Ning Cheng and said, “The King is waiting for you inside.”
Ning Cheng had long since seen the veiled Lan Bing, nodded to the middle-aged woman, pushed open the hidden door and walked in.
“Ning Cheng has met Miss Lan Bing.” Ning Cheng greeted politely.
Lan Bing stared at Ning Cheng and suddenly said, “Are you wondering why I am wearing a veil today?”
Ning Cheng smiled faintly and did not reply. He said in his heart that there was nothing strange about it, I still knew that you were going to kill me to suppress my soul under the statue of your Wish Clan after getting the jade seal. It’s just a way to keep a mystery and keep me curious.
You were late in performing this kind of psychological tactic, you should have veiled yourself at the first sight of me, that Star Treading House Master of Tiansu Holy City did a much better job than you.
It seemed that Lan Bing did not expect Ning Cheng to answer either, and said quietly to himself, “My Lan Cheng Wishing Clan is actually just a branch of the Wishing Clan, a race with a female bloodline heritage. It’s just that now the Wishing Race is withering and almost all of them are depleted, and only we, the Blue Cheng Wishing Race, are still surviving, so we also directly call it the Wishing Race.”
When Ning Cheng heard this, he knew that the meat of the drama was coming. According to the information he had received earlier, after Blue Ice had said this, he had asked for love. He was curious to know what means Blue Ice used to ask for love. This Blue Cheng Wishing Clan’s inheritance was rather similar to that of the Chopping Emotion Dao Sect, in that it was all passed down from woman to woman.
Speaking of which. Lan Bing suddenly reached out to remove the veil from her face and looked straight at Ning Cheng.
A face so beautiful that it took one’s breath away appeared in front of Ning Cheng’s eyes, perhaps only Yu Qing had this kind of beauty of hers. But Yu Qing’s beauty was completely different from hers, Yu Qing’s beauty still had a hint of soft temperature. Blue Ice’s beauty, on the other hand, gave Ning Cheng’s heart an extra touch of weirdness, even slightly bizarre.
It could be said that this was a perfect face, with eyebrows like autumn water. A pretty face as beautiful as the moon. A city-defying appearance, just like a painting.
That’s right, Ning Cheng finally understood that it was like a painting, without a trace of smoke and fire. Generally, the absence of fire and smoke indicated that the woman was out of the ordinary, but Lan Bing’s absence of fire and smoke meant that her appearance really did not have the kind of beauty that made Ning Cheng feel. Instead, he felt an icy coldness. What he was looking at was not a beautiful woman, but a painting, not the kind of aesthetically pleasing painting, but a lifeless painting.
This sounded bizarre, but Blue Ice’s appearance did give Ning Cheng this feeling.
Lan Bing saw Ning Cheng’s surprised expression. Some frowned slightly. She found that when Ning Cheng saw her true appearance, it was somewhat different from when other people saw her true appearance. It was even said that it carried some wariness, which made her very confused.
When Ning Cheng saw Lan Bing frowning slightly, he finally let out a sigh of relief. The painting in front of him suddenly dissipated. It was replaced with a beautiful young girl. He had some suspicions that the chill he had felt when he first saw Lan Bing’s appearance. It was the true nature of Blue Ice’s features.
Ning Cheng had great faith in his own vision, as he cultivated Xuanhuang Wufang, both his vision and intuition were closer to reality than the average person.
“Your expression makes me not very confident in my own appearance.” Lan Bing took the initiative to break the suffocating silence and said once again.
After Lan Bing said these words. The hint of weirdness that made Ning Cheng feel completely disappeared, and in its place was a truly stunning beauty standing in front of him.
Ning Cheng put on an embarrassed look and smiled, “I didn’t expect you to be disguised, if you don’t even have confidence in your own appearance anymore, then there are too few women who have confidence in their own appearance.”
Lan Bing smiled faintly and said to Ning Cheng with a slightly soft demeanour, “As I said before, the fact that you were being chased by a strong Daoist witness and still managed to escape here shows that you are a strong person. I do not desire for you to stay in my Wishing Clan, I only desire for you to leave a trace of your bloodline for my Wishing Clan. If you think that Blue Ice still has some colour, then I am willing to be the wife of the ruler.”
“You know that I want to leave the Land of Broken Rules, why do you want to do that?” Ning Cheng asked.
In her heart, Lan Bing was secretly puzzled as to why Ning Cheng was still asking so calmly after facing her with such words, not half pleased or otherwise?
Puzzled in her heart, Lan Bing still explained, “I have told you the reason, because it is the Blue Cheng Willing Clan that needs the bloodline inheritance, and our enmity with those Dharma cultivators runs deep. Although you are also a Dharma practitioner, you are completely different from those Dharma practitioners because you don’t hate my wish tribe, I can feel it.
Secondly, as I said, I felt the aura of my wishing clan’s holy relic in you. I knew that only if we became husband and wife would you believe me and tell me some news. I am a woman and the king of the Blue Honest Wish Clan. If you can understand how I feel, I am willing to be a good woman to you.”
Ning Cheng sighed in his heart, if he hadn’t heard of Blue Ice’s conspiracy. Perhaps he would have taken out the jade seal for Blue Ice’s dedication and sincere words, and wouldn’t even have asked for anything, just point him out how to get out.
But now Ning Cheng would never take out the jade seal, perhaps if he took out the jade seal in front of him, he would sleep long in front of the statue of the Wishing Clan in the back, and his soul would pray for the Wishing Clan for all eternity.
“I’ve heard that in the Land of Broken Rules, there is still a group of Dharma cultivators living there?” Ning Cheng digressed, as beautiful as Lan Bing was, he really couldn’t raise any interest in such a woman who was trying to backstab him.
Lan Bing also did not expect that even after she had said the words like this, Ning Cheng still did not directly indicate his meaning, but instead digressed the topic. Despite this, she could only reply, “Yes, they are separated from our Blue Ice Wish Clan by a mud pond. I heard that they were all made up of some Dharma cultivators who had escaped into the Land of Broken Rules, and that place was the only place where cultivators could cultivate.”
“Miss Blue Ice, I am grateful and impressed by your beauty and your offer. But I still need to think about it for a while, and also I want to get to know your Wishing Clan.” Ning Cheng didn’t dare to say that he had a wife, he was afraid that Blue Ice wouldn’t have the patience to wait and make a sudden move on him. His current scenario was to delay as long as he could.
Lan Bing’s face was calm as she slowly picked up her veil and put it on her face again, her tone turning flat as she said, “Only by becoming a member of my Wishing Clan can you get to know my Wishing Clan. Even though I am a king, I cannot break my fast to you.”
After saying that, Ning Cheng did not see Lan Bing do anything either, before the middle-aged woman entered again and bowed to gesture for Ning Cheng to go out with her.
Ning Cheng did not understand Lan Bing’s meaning and could only bid farewell to Lan Bing. Lan Bing gave him the impression that the change was a little too unpredictable.
Walking out of Lan Bing’s stone castle, Ning Cheng saw a figure flash at the corner and disappear in an instant. Ning Cheng knew that figure, it was the man who had rescued him from inside the swamp.
After returning to his wooden hut, Ning Cheng did not monitor the situation in Lan Bing’s room. Without the rules of that disc, the monitoring formation he had set up in Blue Ice’s room was simply useless.
……
Not long after Ning Cheng left, a beautiful woman walked into Lan Bing’s room, she looked at the veiled Lan Bing and asked with a sigh, “He refused?”
Blue Ice nodded, “Yes, what he meant, I think, was that he wanted to stall for time. But with me, he’s not half interested, I can feel it.”
Speaking of this, Lan Bing was also a little bewildered, she had always been very confident in her looks, but Ning Cheng had turned a blind eye to her, who had been sent to her door? If all these Dharma cultivators were so self-disciplined, there wouldn’t have been a battle between the Dharma cultivator side and the Wish Clan back then in order to snatch her.
The beautiful woman looked at Lan Bing for a while before she sighed and said, “Looks don’t mean everything, some things are countless times more important than looks. If you really meet someone you like, perhaps you will understand.”
“Auntie Li, you’ve remembered the past again?” Although Lan Bing was asking, her tone did not have much of a comforting flavour.
The beautiful woman did not answer this time, and after a while, she stood up and slowly walked out of Lan Bing’s room, leaving only a somewhat bewildered Lan Bing behind.
……
Not long after Ning Cheng returned to his wooden hut, his divine sense sensed that the man who had saved him appeared outside his wooden hut. Although it was the giant, Ah Ye, who had really saved him, it would have been difficult for him to climb up if this man had not dragged him out of the swamp.
What puzzled him was that the man seemed to want to come in and find him, but turned around outside his cabin for a while before turning around and walking away again.
Ning Cheng did not bother to ask after him as he continued to take the Empty City Transmigration Sense Pill and then quenched his divine sense.
Time passed quickly, as several more days passed, Ning Cheng’s divine sense could even approach a thousand meters. After reaching this level, no matter how Ning Cheng quenched it, the progress of his divine sense became slow.
Even though Lan Bing did not come to ask him how he was considering it, Ning Cheng had a growing sense of urgency in his heart. He did not know when Lan Bing would turn on him, so he wanted to leave this place now.
For the Ahan Wuzhe fruit Ning Cheng was eager to see what it was like, and he also knew that it was still a little difficult for his current strength to find out where the Wishing Clan Ahan Wuzhe fruit was.
On this day, Ning Cheng made all the preparations. During this period of time, he had long observed the situation and had also found a good route to retreat.
Just when everything was ready and he was just waiting to walk away, Ning Cheng suddenly heard a burst of violent killing coming from him. He was startled in his heart, could it be that this fellow, Barbarian Huishan, had come looking for him again?
Ning Cheng’s divine sense instantly stretched out, and what he saw was not Barbarian Huishan, but more than ten men dressed as cultivators rushing into the area. Not only were these men dressed as cultivators, they were also using various spells in their strikes. There were constantly wishbone people being killed, and more wishbone people were killed by the spells blasted at them before they could even form the kind of circle that inspired the wishbone.
Ning Cheng suddenly stood up, how could there be so many people who could control their divine sense to sacrifice spells? Wasn’t this the Land of Broken Rules?
