Chapter 266: But You Can’t Scold A Ning 【 Female Supporting Character Xie Yanning’s Story 】
Bai Bai said, “At this time, the seed inside Xie Yanning had basically grown.”
Ming Zhaoshuang frowned slightly, “But at this time, Qin Feilong wasn’t born yet, right?”
Bai Bai’s tail twitched, and she raised her paw, “Her seed was not firmly rooted.”
“When Xu Qing’an died, her seed was destined that no matter how it sprouted or grew, it would never have stable soil.”
Therefore, it was not impossible to want to pull it out.
Ming Zhaoshuang said, “The seed of the Heavenly Dao is essentially meant to destroy them, not to make them like Qin Feilong.”
Bai Bai nodded, “Liking Qin Feilong was just one of the means.”
Ming Zhaoshuang gasped, increasingly feeling that this Heavenly Dao was shameless and utterly without principle, why couldn’t it just let others ascend normally?
As Xie Yanning refused Jiu Zhou, the scene before their eyes shifted to a mountain forest.
In the cultivation world, one is either fighting monsters or on the way to fight monsters. Besides sparring with her fellow disciples, Xie Yanning would also go out for training.
Of course, this time she encountered Jiu Zhou.
Jiu Zhou fell in front of her for the second time, begging her to save him, his moist eyes like the finest gems, making one feel pity.
Except, he had already transformed by then.
At this moment, him falling before her, besides pitiful, made him seem even more disheveled.
He hugged Xie Yanning’s small leg, “Fairy Sister, save me, some spiritual beasts want to kill me.”
Xie Yanning struggled a few times but couldn’t break free.
“Let go.”
Jiu Zhou rubbed against Xie Yanning’s small leg and continued to feign misery, “No, I’m scared… Oh, great heavens, I’m just a little rabbit demon, how can I endure this.”
Xie Yanning pursed her lips, “If you can’t endure it, why did you come here?”
Jiu Zhou said, “I’m an artifact cultivator, I always need materials. Your cultivation world’s spirit stones are too expensive, I have no money.”
Xie Yanning: “…”
It was the first time she had seen an artifact cultivator complain about poverty to a sword cultivator like her.
Xie Yanning said helplessly, “Where are the spiritual beasts?”
Jiu Zhou pointed his finger, and the spiritual beast baring its teeth at him instantly felt a chill down its spine, as if something wanted to take its life.
My goodness! How can this human cultivator be so dishonorable!
The moment Xie Yanning plunged her sword into the spiritual beast’s neck, the beast only had time to think this one sentence.
It was just a spiritual beast at the Spirit Transformation Stage; for Xie Yanning, dealing with it was not too difficult.
She looked at Jiu Zhou, “Can you let go now?”
Jiu Zhou nodded blankly.
Xie Yanning flung Jiu Zhou’s hand away and drew a barrier again, trapping Jiu Zhou there.
She had her own goals.
This spiritual beast’s cultivation had reached the Body Integration Stage.
Xie Yanning fought for half a month before finally executing it. As Xie Yanning, covered in blood, descended the mountain, Jiu Zhou was waiting for her at the foot of the mountain.
He looked at her, his eyes welling up with tears.
So pitiful again.
Xie Yanning sighed, thinking this person was truly a bit bothersome, “What else do you want me to kill?”
“Does it hurt?”
“What?”
“Are you in pain, all alone?”
Xie Yanning was a little stunned. Before she could react, she saw the man before her burst into tears.
“You have so much blood on you, does it hurt?”
“Why do others have help when they kill spiritual beasts… but you don’t? Is your Sword Sect bullying people like this…”
“Why are you fighting so desperately… Can’t you wait for me…”
He spoke continuously, while his hands were already helping Xie Yanning check her wounds, “My sister is a medical cultivator, I’ll help you look… I’m very good at medicine…”
Jiu Zhou’s warm fingertips brushed Xie Yanning’s wrist, causing her long-cold heart to tremble.
Xie Yanning said, “I’m fine.”
Jiu Zhou said, “But you’ve lost so much blood…”
Xie Yanning’s tone held a hint of helplessness, “As sword cultivators, when do we not bleed?”
Jiu Zhou’s voice still held a sob, “Then don’t learn swordplay, come learn artifact refining with me… You have an innate fire spirit root, you’ll definitely be exceptionally good at artifact refining.”
Xie Yanning seemed to remember something, her gaze turned cold, “In this life, I have no connection with the art of artificing.”
Jiu Zhou also remembered the strict rule in the cultivation world that one could only cultivate one path, and he felt both helpless and sad.
“Then, will you bring me with you when you fight in the future? I won’t drag you down… I didn’t leave last time, it was just that those people wanted to kill me, so I could only leave…”
“I’m very obedient, I’ll do whatever you say.”
Xie Yanning said, “I don’t need friends.”
Jiu Zhou said, “I’m not here to be your friend, I’m here to be your Dao Companion!”
Xie Yanning’s hand burned at his words, and she pulled it back.
She stepped back several paces from Jiu Zhou, “I don’t need a Dao Companion.”
Jiu Zhou was insistent, “I know I’m not worthy of you now, but believe me, I will work very, very hard and become the number one artifact refiner in the world. Then I will use the divine tool I personally forged to match you.”
His words were laughable.
Forging a divine tool, not to mention that divine tools must be forged with divine bones, even an artificer who forges divine tools must be Heaven Rank or above. Even the Artificing Saint Ou Ziye forged very few divine tools in his lifetime.
Rabbit demons are one of the lowest-ranking beasts in the Thirty-Six Heavens. To cultivate to the Spirit Transformation Stage is already incredibly miraculous. If they were to forge divine tools, they would need a cultivation at the Body Integration Stage.
Why did he think he could forge one?
But when Xie Yanning met Jiu Zhou’s pitiful eyes, she suddenly couldn’t say anything else.
She didn’t reply.
Finally, she said, “As you wish.”
After this, Xie Yanning was finally no longer alone; a delicate man always followed behind her.
Yes, delicate.
At least, that’s what Xie Yanning thought.
He couldn’t lift a shoulder pole or hold a basket. When she was killing demonic beasts and subduing spiritual herbs, he was useless. The only role he could play was probably making many beautiful pieces of jewelry for her.
However, his cooking was very good;
However, he cleaned spiritual beasts very cleanly;
However, he would tell her jokes and stories to cheer her up.
However, he would give her all sorts of spirit tools that weren’t exactly reputable.
But every time this happened, a voice would echo in her mind.
【How can such a frail man be worthy of you?】
【As a disciple of the Sword Sect, it’s one thing to associate with disciples of the Artifact Sect all day, but you’re actually a demon.】
【Xie Yanning, your Dao Companion should be the number one sword cultivator in the world.】
Is Jiu Zhou frail?
He was frail; he lacked talent and cultivation. The only thing he had was a somewhat cute and pitiful appearance, but it wasn’t outstanding either.
Yet, such a frail person would stand in front of Xie Yanning and vehemently defend her when someone secretly called Xie Yanning indifferent, ruthless, and crude, his voice ringing with conviction.
No matter who it was, he dared to confront them.
The result was obvious. Such a powerless demon as him was beaten again and again by disciples from the Sword Sect and Artifact Sect.
Sometimes, disciples from the Beast Sect would also join in.
In the end, Xie Yanning would have to draw her sword and back him up.
Xie Yanning looked at him, bruised and swollen, and asked with some confusion, “They were talking about their own matters, why did you interfere?”
Jiu Zhou whimpered, “They insulted A Ning, so I had to retort.”
Xie Yanning said, “Reputation is external; why care about what others say.”
“But insulting A Ning is not allowed.”
