Chapter 267: A Short Separation Makes You Happy
Lu Zhan then told Jiang Jiang about the incident with the Tianyuan Stick and Hanba. Although there was some exaggeration in his story, it definitely did not deviate from the main topic.
Just to make Jiang Jiang feel more involved, he exaggerated the story a little, but the central idea remained unchanged. Even if the storyteller from Jinling Teahouse was here, he wouldn't be able to find fault with it.
“Assholes, assholes, assholes!” Jiang Ningshuang cursed loudly after hearing about the Tianyuan Stick incident. She wrinkled her nose and kicked her calves repeatedly. Her red skirt fluttered between her kicks. She angrily said, “These assholes actually used the Tianyuan Stick to hit you. It’s an extremely sinister magic weapon!”
Lu Zhan said helplessly: "They are not you. You know how to feel sorry for me. They want to kill me. How can they be kind to me?"
"They are still bastards!" Jiang Jiang said, tears streaming down her face again. She said distressedly, "It is said that being hit by the Tianyuan Stick will be extremely painful... these damn bastards!"
Lu Zhan remained silent, just helped her wipe away her tears, sighed softly, and looked like "It doesn't matter if I get hurt a little."
After Jiang Jiang finished scolding her, she said in a low voice with a straight face, "So Ling Jiaoyue is not a completely bad woman. At least she saved you at the critical moment. I, Jiang Ningshuang, always do things in a principled manner. At least in this matter, I still want to thank her."
Rather than being angry with Ling Jiaoyue, she was more afraid of not being able to see Lu Zhan again in the future.
“That’s not necessary…” Anyway, we are all family now… Lu Zhan added silently in his heart.
After realizing the cruelty of the battle on the Fairy Island, Jiang Ningshuang took the initiative to move closer to Lu Zhan and muttered, "But you are so strong, why can't you beat more than a dozen people at the peak of the Mysterious Realm? Even if they have magic weapons, you should at least not be injured."
"..." Lu Zhan said dimly, "At that time, I was not at the peak of the Mysterious Realm. Even though I could kill people above my level, and even Ling Jiaoyue said that I was comparable to the Creation Realm, I was not really in the Creation Realm... There is still a little difference."
"Also, water spirit beasts are very special. Their strength increases dramatically in the water. I was already exhausted when I killed them. And those people were carrying magic weapons, so I was ambushed by accident... Later, when I reached the peak of the Mysterious Realm, my strength really improved by leaps and bounds."
The main reason was that Yuanshen No. 2 had not grown enough at that time. Even if he could burst out with powerful strength, the storage of true Qi was not enough, and it was still difficult for him to work non-stop.
“I see…” Jiang Ningshuang touched Lu Zhan’s chest: “I’m glad you’re okay.”
"Yes, it's all right now." Lu Zhan took out a black lotus seed from his spirit ring and said, "This is the seed of the Twin Black Lotuses. After taking it, you can not only gain a great deal of spiritual energy, but most importantly, you can achieve true eternal youth. I saved this especially for you."
Jiang Ningshuang looked at the black lotus seeds in his palm that were emitting a dark glow. Her bright red lips opened slightly, and an extremely complicated expression appeared on her face.
"You were injured by the Tianyuan Stick at that time, and you...you actually left one for me? You didn't use it to heal your wounds?" Jiang Jiang's heart was filled with ripples.
She was a soft-hearted person to begin with. When she heard Lu Zhan talk about the fairy island, she had already forgiven him halfway. Now, seeing this lotus seed, the mental defense she had built up with great difficulty completely collapsed.
She came to Lu Zhan in a rage to settle the score, and even put a dagger across his neck, but he did not resist or complain at all. He was only worried about whether her hand was hurting, and even hurriedly brought her a fairy lotus seed from the fairy island. In such a dangerous situation, he still thought of bringing her one.
If he died under the Tianyuan stick, what use would this broken lotus seed be to her?
No matter how precious something is, can it be as important as life?
Jiang Ningshuang only felt a sour nose, as if some emotion was constantly surging. She stared at the lotus seed in a daze, her heart full of resentment, just like a spring breeze blowing across the earth, in an instant the ice and snow melted and all things revived, completely shattering her defenses.
"I got a whole black lotus at that time. The rest were used to heal my wounds. I left one for you. This one won't affect anything. Don't worry. Besides, I'm standing in front of you alive now." Lu Zhan stuffed the lotus seed into her hand: "You are an outstanding disciple of Xiuyinfang. This thing may not be rare for you. Don't despise it."
"Who said that? This is a fairy flower, how could I despise it?" Jiang Ningshuang hurriedly put the lotus seeds away, deeply moved. Not to mention that this is a fairy flower, even if it was just the most ordinary weed, she would regard it as a treasure.
"I'm glad you don't mind. I hope I can help you."
"I will take it well." Jiang Ningshuang calmed down and asked, "What happened next?"
"Then I encountered Hanba... Hanba teamed up with the young marquis to rob me. At that time, dozens of golden ba besieged Ling Jiaoyue and me, and Hanba was there... It was hard to describe the hardships. Fortunately, we fought our way out and crossed a thousand miles of red land."
Jiang Ningshuang grabbed Lu Zhan's arm and nodded vigorously: "I know you can do it. Even if another hundred golden demons come, you can still get out!"
After all, the stories about Lu Zhan had long been widely spread. Those rumors were even more exaggerated than what Lu Zhan himself said, but they were undoubtedly telling the same story -
Lu Zhan is very brave!
"Alas... there was a big fight in the Treeman Valley. You know, people who are too outstanding are always easily envied. I was also one of them... they besieged me in the Treeman Valley because of jealousy..." Lu Zhan's face was full of tragedy: "Ling Jiaoyue and I were thrown into the lake, but unexpectedly we stumbled into a fortuitous encounter."
"The essence of the divine fire?" Jiang Ningshuang blinked, then belatedly realized the key point: "What about Queque?"
"Well... Que Que is actually a descendant of the Fire Phoenix King." Lu Zhan did not hide it from her and whispered, "That's why I was able to obtain the opportunity of the Divine Fire, and Ling Jiaoyue obtained the opportunity of the Ice. However, these two things complement each other. If you only take one, you will be burned by the fire or the cold will enter your body and die."
Jiang Ningshuang rolled her eyes and said in a muffled voice: "So that's why you followed her..."
"Yes, there was no better choice at the time, and Ling Jiaoyue and I helped each other on the Fairy Island, which benefited each other a lot. We have come to this step after careful consideration." Lu Zhan sighed, "In fact, I have been thinking about how to talk to you about this. I know you don't like her, but..."
"But it still happened." Jiang Ningshuang had a stern face, but she had gradually accepted it in her heart.
Even if you don't accept it subjectively, you have no choice but to accept it.
As a disciple of the immortal sect, she knew how terrible the holy objects were. If she did not follow the rules of the holy objects, she would be reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye.
But even if I understand the reason, I still feel unhappy.
She said awkwardly, "Anyway, Ling Jiaoyue still has some conscience. Seeing how much she has helped you, I am too lazy to argue with her. Just don't let me see her again."
Lu Zhan was completely relieved. The matter was completely resolved. He said, "The matter about Que Que must be kept secret. I only told you."
"Chu Wantang doesn't know either?"
"I don't know. Apart from Ling Jiaoyue and I, you're the only one who knows." Lu Zhan said seriously.
Jiang Jiang's expression immediately became much happier, but she didn't show it. She still insisted, "You told me this simply because I knew about Queque's existence. Now Queque has suddenly disappeared. When I think about the matter of the fairy island, I must have some guesses. Instead of letting me guess it myself, you might as well tell me, right?"
Lu Zhan remained silent.
She became more and more happy: "Don't worry, I will never spread this matter. Queque is also my friend. And don't mention the matter of the young marquis to anyone else. Bianjing is full of tricks. If this matter gets out, there will be big trouble."
"I know."
Jiang Ningshuang took a deep breath and calmed down a lot. She asked again, "I just saw you and that bald ass Yuan Kong together. What were you doing?"
"You finally asked me something serious." Speaking of serious matters, Lu Zhan frowned and said, "Recently, there was a case of a missing girl in Bianjing, and I was ordered to investigate. It just so happened that Yuan Kong was also investigating the case, so we compared intelligence when we met."
Jiang Jiang had no doubts. The disciples of the immortal sect came down the mountain to slay demons and monsters. It was normal for them to join hands with the imperial court to solve the case. However, she still reminded him, "The Chan Yi sect has produced a scum named Yuan Ji, which shows that the sect's style is not strict. You have to be careful. Moreover, the missing girl's case may not be related to monsters. That bald donkey is only good at fighting monsters, not good at dealing with evil cultivators, so he may not be able to help."
The Immortal Sect is well-informed, and nothing that has happened recently in Bianjing can be hidden from their ears.
"Hmm? Are you saying something else?" Lu Zhan heard the hidden meaning in her words.
Jiang Ningshuang snuggled in his arms: "Many of my senior sisters and junior sisters came to Bianjing this time. After they knew about this matter, they are also investigating it. If you need anything, why not come to me."
Lu Zhan thought about the sting operation and thought for a moment: “Who knows, I might actually need your help.”
"Well, I'm much more useful than the bald donkey, and my current Purple Qi Bu Tian Jue is very powerful." When Jiang Jiang mentioned the results of his retreat, his eyes lit up and he couldn't wait to show it off: "It's a pity that there are no wounded here, otherwise I would show you..."
Lu Zhan originally wanted to call out his minions for a practice, but after thinking about it, he thought it was a bit too cruel, so he said, "There will be a chance next time."
"Hmm..." Jiang Ningshuang responded softly.
The two of them fell silent suddenly, and the atmosphere became quiet, so quiet that they could even hear each other's heartbeats.
Jiang Ningshuang snuggled in Lu Zhan's arms, feeling his heartbeat as strong as a drum. She subconsciously raised her head and saw Lu Zhan looking at her with burning eyes.
The two were very young and had not seen each other for a long time, so they felt like they were newlyweds after a long separation. Although they kissed for a while just now, it was also a bit bitter.
Now that we have finished talking about the causes and consequences, and the serious matters, it is inevitable that I feel a little excited when I am alone.
Jiang Ningshuang pouted and asked, "When you were with Ling Jiaoyue, did you ever think of me?"
"Of course." This was Lu Zhan's true feelings. Maybe he didn't think so much at the beginning, but afterwards he thought the most about Jiang Ningshuang. When he thought of her aversion to Ling Jiaoyue, he found it a bit tricky.
On the contrary, everything has calmed down completely now. After all, Jiang Jiang knows everything, so we don't have to be so nervous when we get along with each other in the future.
"That's better..." Jiang Ningshuang placed her hands on his chest, pushed him down on the couch, kissed him twice, and murmured, "I'm sure Ling Jiaoyue feels uncomfortable too. After all, you two have been like that, but you still miss me in your heart."
Lu Zhan: “…”
He thought about the time when he was with Ling Jiaoyue. Every time Ling Jiaoyue mentioned Jiang Ningshuang, her expression was almost the same as Jiang Ningshuang's now, both of them were filled with an inexplicable sense of "pride".
The two women have been fighting overtly and covertly for years, and they even fight over this kind of thing.
Lu Zhan was too lazy to think about it, as there were more important things to do at the moment. He put his arms around Jiang Ningshuang's slender waist, turned her over and pressed her down on the bed, letting out his deepest feelings of pain at separation.
The two were still somewhat rational at first, but later on they became confused and infatuated. It was freezing cold outside, but the temperature in the room seemed to be rising steadily.
"Pullingleng——"
A bird was startled from a snowy branch and flew away, and the sound of it spreading its wings made the two of them somewhat sober.
Jiang Ningshuang raised her eyes and looked at him. Her eyes were somewhat charming and charming, but her words were somewhat doubtful: "What's that thing you have down there? It hurts."
Lu Zhan blinked and was speechless for a moment.
This girl even knows about dual cultivation, but she doesn’t know what this thing is?
Lu Zhan asked: "Do you know what dual cultivation is?"
Jiang Ningshuang didn't understand why he asked that, so she turned her face away and asked, "Isn't it just practicing together without clothes? Why are you asking me this? Do you want to tell me about your dual cultivation process with Ling Jiaoyue?"
Jiang Jiang's mood, which had just calmed down, became a little unhappy again.
She had asked Lu Zhan about dual cultivation before, but she didn't expect Ling Jiaoyue to get there first. She felt jealous and angry, and didn't understand why Lu Zhan suddenly brought this up.
"No..." Lu Zhan looked at her angry expression and sighed in his heart.
Jiang Jiang is indeed Jiang Jiang, with a simple mind, it is normal for him not to know about this kind of thing...
After all, in the Zhou Dynasty, even the descriptions in banned books were very subtle. Whenever they wrote about that kind of thing, the most they would say was "turn off the lights, go to bed and take off clothes", and then there would be no further developments. It was nothing like in the previous life, where there would be thoughtful popularization of physiological knowledge.
"So what? You're still pushing me." Jiang Ningshuang frowned, looking a little unhappy.
Lu Zhan explained: "Well... this is my hidden weapon. You know, you must prepare a hidden weapon when you go out. It may save your life at a critical moment."
"No wonder, I was wondering why it was so hard." Jiang Ningshuang moved her body and pushed Lu Zhan away.
If it were in his previous life, when Lu Zhan saw a girl like this, he would only think that she was pretending to be innocent, or that she was a little stupid, but in the feudal era, this kind of behavior was normal.
He also sat up and quietly put away his hidden weapon to avoid becoming more obvious.
Jiang Ningshuang got down to business again: "My senior sisters have also studied the disappearance case in Bianjing. Maybe it's not as simple as it seems. There may be a bigger conspiracy behind it. You must be careful."
"Don't worry." Lu Zhan had already thought of this. To dare to commit a crime in Bian Jing, especially this kind of crime, the other party's intentions must be serious.
If you just want to use young girls for cultivation, wouldn't it be safer and more convenient to find some in remote mountain villages?
Bian Jing is the imperial city. The other party would take such a risk, there must be a deeper conspiracy behind it.
After the two of them finished talking about this, the atmosphere fell silent again. The atmosphere, which had just cooled down, became a little agitated again. They looked at each other and came together again.
