Xiao Jinting looked at the message jade in his hand, feeling helpless.
Li Yi went up to him and asked, “Where’s Xu Muan?”
“He is out. He will be back soon,” Xiao Jinting said.
Li Yi’s face darkened. “Do you still want to lie to me?”
Xiao Jinting sighed helplessly and said, “Muan was taken away by Xu Lingfeng, who asked me to exchange him for the Fruit of Life and warned me not to tell you.”
Li Yi gritted his teeth and said angrily, “How could he do this?”
Xiao Jinting said indifferently, “Senior Xu does this for you, Mr. Li. It’s fine to give him the fruit. You have been giving me precious advice these days, and I benefit a lot. The fruit is nothing compared to your help.”
Li Yi looked at Xiao Jinting and said, “You’re generous because of Xu Muan.”
Xiao Jinting was taken aback. “Why do you say that?”
“I heard that not long after you came to the Green Continent, someone bought a piece of Fire Yang Jade Heart. Soon after, a Fire Yang Jade pendant appeared at the auction. You seem to be the owner of the pendant.”
Xiao Jinting asked in confusion. “Because of this?”
“Of course, it’s not just that. You went to the Barbarian Continent a few months ago and searched the memories of Xu Muan’s brother. Following that, you redeemed a jade pendant from a pawn shop.”
Xiao Jinting was stunned. He thought he had handled it well, but he didn’t expect to leave so many traces.
“Is there anything else?” Xiao Jinting asked curiously.
“You and Xu Muan have a son, who is the single spiritual root of fire and can find spiritual things,” Li Yi said.
Xiao Jinting nodded and asked, “What’s wrong with that?”
“Lingfeng is a born single spiritual root of fire, but it is not noticeable, and even his family doesn’t know about it,” said Li Yi.
Xiao Jinting wondered if the silly Xiao Xiaofan took after Xu Lingfeng.
…
Xu Lingfeng looked at the message jade in his hand.
Xu Muan looked at Xu Lingfeng and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Your husband told Li Yi that I kidnapped you,” Xu Lingfeng said.
Xu Muan paused and asked, “Did he do that?”
“I see that he doesn’t care about you at all. I told him that if he dared to tell Li Yi, I would kill you,” Xu Lingfeng said angrily.
Xu Muan looked at Xu Lingfeng’s resentful face and smiled. “Senior, you’re joking. I think we’d better go back now. Mr. Li will be angry if we are late.”
Xu Lingfeng glared at Xu Muan and stormed out.
When they went out of the cave, they felt the evil intent in the air.
A black whip aimed at Xu Muan, but Xu Lingfeng hit it away.
A man in a black robe appeared.
“It’s a demonic cultivator.” Xu Muan had seen many demonic cultivators in Nebula and could easily recognize them.
Xu Lingfeng said gloomily, “Stay away.”
Xu Lingfeng threw at the man a bright red tripod, which was blazing and heated the air.
The man’s black robe was torn into pieces and a centipede hundreds of meters long appeared in front of them.
“It’s a centipede.” Xu Muan took a few steps back.
The centipede swung its tail at Xu Muan, who felt a chill in his heart. This man came for him instead of Xu Lingfeng.
“Watch out.”
A Nascent Soul puppet stepped in front of Xu Muan and hit the tail of the centipede with a sword.
Xu Lingfeng glanced at Xu Muan, relieved to see that he was protected by a puppet.
Xiao Jinting and Li Yi tracked them down out of town and said, “They should be nearby.”
“There is a fighting,” Li Yi said.
Xiao Jinting scanned around with his soul force and got worried. “Mr. Li, stay here. I’ll go help them.”
Xiao Jinting disappeared.
Li Yi looked at the commotion caused by the big fight in the distance and knew that two Nascent Souls were fighting.
When Xiao Jinting arrived, he saw Xu Lingfeng fighting with a centipede that was nearly a thousand meters long. Xu Muan stayed on the side and instructed the puppet to attack the demonic beast.
The blazing tripod in Xu Lingfeng’s hand was as powerful as a burning sun.
The centipede was wearing hard armor, which provided amazing protection from Xu Lingfeng’s flaming tripod.
The centipede opened its mouth and spat venom towards Xu Lingfeng.
The venom of the centipede was poisonous and made a ditch in the ground.
Xu Lingfeng tossed a fiery-red bead at the belly of the centipede and blew a hole there.
Xiao Jinting was amazed. After he advanced to Nascent Soul, he felt that the Thunder Flame Discs were not powerful enough. When he saw Xu Lingfeng’s bead, he was tempted.
Xiao Jinting leaped up and stepped on the feet of the centipede with the Weight Cracking learned from the Heavenly Devil Body Refining Manual. A strong force pierced through the centipede’s hard armor and hit its head.
The centipede let out a fierce scream.
Xu Lingfeng threw out a flying sword, which pierced through the centipede’s belly and disappeared.
A small centipede flew out from the head of the giant centipede and disappeared in an instant.
Xiao Jinting saw the centipede’s soul escape, but he didn’t stop it.
