Chapter 122 The Moon on the Fourth Night
Kuiwei Shouyu had been listening to the conversation between the Black Dragon and Ning Xiaoxi. When he heard that Ning Xiaoxi was actually a mid-level high-rank cultivator, he couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise. It seemed that the concealment artifact given by Master Tianji was really useful. Without using spiritual power, he could sense that Ning Xiaoxi was at the fourth or fifth level of the mid-rank, and with spiritual power, he could sense that she was at the eighth or ninth level of the mid-rank. But it turned out that it was all a lie; she had actually reached the mid-level high-rank at the age of thirteen.
Speaking of which, he only reached the intermediate level of the high-level cultivator at the age of fourteen, and that was only because he had diligently cultivated since childhood and used the clan's resources to nurture him. Ning Xiaoxi, on the other hand, is a Celestial Master who only recently appeared; a year ago, no one even knew her name.
Could it be that she cultivated to the intermediate level of the advanced stage in less than a year? The more Kuiwei Shouyu thought about it, the more terrified he felt, and a chill ran down his spine.
"Slap!" Black Dragon slapped Kuiwei Shouyu unconscious.
Ning Xiaoxi watched as the black dragon calmly withdrew his hand. "If you hit him again, he'll really go crazy."
"You stupid apprentice, you're scaring yourself to death."
"He's my apprentice after all, just bear with it!"
"Fed up!"
"He's already incredibly talented. At sixteen, he's a high-level advanced cultivator, far surpassing the eighteen-year-olds from the Celestial Master Pavilion."
"He's not from my clan, I don't care if he lives or dies."
"There are no more dragons in your clan, right?" Ning Xiaoxi asked cautiously.
Black Dragon gulped down the mulberry sap in his water bag and looked at Ning Xiaoxi with a gloomy expression.
Ning Xiaoxi shrank back and obediently took out a bag of mulberry tree sap from the cave and handed it to the black dragon, saying, "This is for you."
Heilong accepted it without hesitation and drank it all in one gulp.
"Well, sir, you see I can't help much here. The Snow Maiden's soul still needs to be removed. Why don't you let me and the Guardian go?" Ning Xiaoxi suggested cautiously. "I promise we'll stay far away and only look for the Snow Maiden. We won't get in your way."
"The Snow Maiden is the Frost Soul's demon general."
Ning Xiaoxi choked up. Was this an unavoidable situation? "Then let's take care of the Snow Maiden and cut off one of Frost Soul's arms before it's the fifteenth."
Heilong looked at Ning Xiaoxi pouting and puffing out her cheeks, "You really don't want to stay with me?"
"what!"
"Little girl, you don't know what's good for you. Since you're Frost Soul's demon general, you should naturally be with it. Do you want to fight two of us at once?"
"No, not at all." Ning Xiaoxi shook her head frantically. Even with Kuiwei's protection, she might not be able to beat the Snow Maiden, let alone fight two against one. She wanted to save herself, not commit suicide.
"Don't worry, I'll take you there tomorrow night. Whether you can get the Snow Maiden's Heart depends on your ability." After saying that, the black dragon closed its eyes. A cool breeze blew by, and the moonlight shone on it. The black dragon, with its black robes, black hair, and black eyes, seemed to blend into its surroundings, and no one could sense its presence at all.
Looking at the peacefully resting black dragon, Ning Xiaoxi quietly moved her body and slowly moved to the side of the Kuafu tribesman. She gently circled his body with her spiritual energy and found that his spiritual meridians were unobstructed, only their flow was blocked. Although the bloodstains on his head and face were frightening, it was actually just a bluff.
"Hoo!" Ning Xiaoxi let out a long breath, placed her fingers on his wrist, and channeled spiritual energy into it, combing through it. Ning Xiaoxi's spiritual energy had already recovered while she was unconscious, and she spared no effort, so the Kuafu tribesman quickly woke up.
Suddenly, I opened my eyes, and a small hand covered my mouth tightly.
"Don't shout!" Ning Xiaoxi pressed her hand down hard, not daring to make a loud noise, lest she wake the black dragon, and they would all die.
The Kuafu tribesman stared at Ning Xiaoxi with his round eyes, and when he caught sight of the black dragon out of the corner of his eye, his eyes widened even more.
Ning Xiaoxi looked at his already bulging eyes and was afraid that if he exerted any more force, they would burst out. She put her finger to her lips and said, "Shh! It's asleep. You should leave now." Then she removed her hand from his mouth.
The man calmed his violently heaving chest, looked away, and lowered his voice like Ning Xiaoxi, "Subordinate, come with me."
Ning Xiaoxi pointed to the Kuiwei Guardian at the black dragon's feet and waved her hand quickly at him, "You go first! Lord Jiuyu did notice that I saved you; its silence means you can leave. Hurry, hurry!"
The Kuafu tribesman glanced at Kuiwei Shouyu, then at Ning Xiaoxi, and finally at the black dragon with its eyes closed. He gritted his teeth, got up, and bowed to Ning Xiaoxi, saying, "Kuiwei Lin Feng thanks his subordinate!"
Ning Xiaoxi waved again, watching Kuiwei Lin Feng run quickly down the mountain.
The Kuafu people have such long strides; they disappear from sight in just two steps.
Ning Xiaoxi turned around and saw the black dragon lazily looking at her with one eye open. Ning Xiaoxi flashed an exaggeratedly ingratiating smile, quickly returned to Kuiwei's side, and obediently sat on the tree root next to the black dragon.
The wind was a bit chilly at the summit, and this large tree stood tall there. Looking out from here, three more peaks could be seen. The highest was the middle one, but it was shrouded in thick fog, blocking out even the moonlight. One of the other peaks had a meadow, its color obscured by the hazy moonlight, but since it was meadow, it must be green. The other peak was covered in a dense, lush forest, giving off a feeling of summer's heat. Was there another snow-capped mountain behind that highest peak?
"My lord, isn't that the middle peak the place where Bingyi was buried?" Ning Xiaoxi's curiosity was piqued.
"Ah."
Where is Frost Soul?
"Ah."
"So that means Snow Maiden and Mountain Moon are there too." Ning Xiaoxi stared at the highest peak. "Back then, what kind of formation did they use to seal away the remnants of Ice Yi's body?"
"No matter what kind of formation it is, the blood of the Kuafu clan is used to break the seal."
"Tsk tsk, that's really brutal!" Glancing at the Kuiwei Guardian, Ning Xiaoxi said slowly, "It also requires the blood of a priest who has cultivated the Taiyin Technique, right?" "It needs blood that is a perfect balance of Yin and Yang to be used to break the seal on the fifteenth night when the sun's power is weakest!"
"what!"
Long, pale fingers gripped Ning Xiaoxi's slender neck, his dark eyes fixed on her. "Tianji said not to hurt you. But you're a bit clever, what should we do?"
Although she was being held by fingers, she didn't feel suffocated. Ning Xiaoxi remained still, not daring to move. "I'm just keeping you company, sir. I'll stay with you until the seal is broken tomorrow. Don't worry, sir!" Damn it, what exactly is Tianji up to? What kind of deal did he make with the Black Dragon?
My thumb rubbed up and down along the artery in her neck, the sound of blood flowing powerfully in the quiet night. That slender neck looked rather appetizing.
Ning Xiaoxi's eyes deepened as she looked at the black dragon. It seemed, it seemed, that she was a little hungry. Hungry? Oh my god, the dragon wanted to eat people.
