Chapter 222: Greed
Leng Ruoxue was relieved, but Ning Haoqian was a little entangled.
He knew that his identity was irresistibly attractive to some women, but this Cheng Xian'er stared at him with straight and undisguised eyes, which still made him feel indescribably bored in his heart, although there were many women who were interested in him, but it was quite rare to be so direct to her, but because she was a member of the Cheng family, Ning Haoqian had to give the Cheng family some face even if he was angry.
Seeing that Ning Haoqian still didn't say a word after hearing her words, Cheng Xian'er felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but she knew that the young master of the Ning family had never liked words, so she didn't care too much, after all, in her eyes, women should take the initiative, isn't there a good saying! Thinking of this, she took the initiative to walk to Ning Hao's side, the smile on her face was like a spring flower, and said softly: "Brother Yan!" You're so good here! After speaking, he lowered his head shyly, not daring to look at Ning Haoqi.
Cheng Xuan saw her like this, and he was full of contempt in his heart.
What's it for! It's not that Hao Yan doesn't know what she is, in fact, the young masters of the Eight Great Divine Domains have heard a little about the character of the young ladies of each family, after all, one of them may become the object of family marriage in the future, so when they are very young, someone will report the situation of the young ladies of each family to them one after another. And those family daughters, although many of them are good at acting, however, there are times when the haode actors are exposed, so it is not easy for those ladies to hide their true nature.
As for this Cheng Xian'er, she is one of the very outstanding acting skills, dignified and virtuous, well-behaved and cute, but in fact, she is quite domineering in private, and she is a woman with a strong desire for power and vanity, but she is estimated to have been stimulated a little more in the secret realm, so she almost exposed her full nature just now. But no matter how she disguised it, it was useless. Because Hao Lang won't like her at all.
"What a coincidence!" Ning Haoqian tugged at the corners of his mouth, even if it was a greeting.
"Yes! Brother Yan! It's better to meet by chance, since you have met, it is fate, let's go on the road together in the future! Cheng Xian'er said very enthusiastically, at this moment, there is only Ning Haoqian in her heart and eyes, and no one else can enter her eyes at all, including Cheng Xuan.
"Miss Cheng! I came in with a friend. Ning Haoqian said softly, the implication is that I can't leave my friends behind to be with you, but Cheng Xian'er can't hear his extraneous voice, and it can be said that even if she hears it, she will ignore it.
"It's okay! Since everyone is destined to meet, they just walk together. Without waiting for Cheng Xian'er to speak, the three elders of the Cao family rushed to say, and what he said was also an affirmation, not a question, making it clear that he didn't want to give Leng Ruoxue and the others a chance to refuse, after all, cannon fodder is rare!
When Ning Haoqian heard this, he forcibly endured the dislike in his heart, looked at Leng Ruoxue and the others, and saw Leng Ruoxue nodding lightly, he said, "Okay then!" Since Elder Cao San has warmly invited, we might as well be respectful. ”
"However, if a treasure is found in the secret realm, how can we distribute it among so many of us?" Then, Ning Hao's words turned around and said the facts that were in front of him and deliberately ignored by the three elders of the Cao family.
"Naturally, it's distributed according to contributions." The third elder of the Cao family thought for a moment before saying, and the reason why he said this was also to consider that the number of people on his side was too small, if it was distributed according to the number of people, his side would definitely suffer, and if it was according to the contribution, the strength of his own people was obviously above them, and he had said the distribution method in advance, and when it was really distributed, they would probably not be able to say anything. Therefore, the three elders of the Cao family, who thought that their ideas were seamless, said such a fairly fair distribution method.
Leng Ruoxue listened to the words of the third elder of the Cao family, and chuckled: "This distribution method is very fair, so be it!" In fact, she didn't think she could meet anything good here.
"Huh! I don't know Miss's surname yet? Seeing that Leng Ruoxue had made a final decision, and the others did not object, the three elders of the Cao family were puzzled in their hearts, did this woman's words carry so much weight? Ning Shaozhu and Cheng Shaozhu didn't even have an opinion, this fact surprised him.
"My surname is Leng!" Leng Ruoxue said with a faint smile.
"Cold?" Hearing this surname, Elder Cao San thought about it, and he couldn't think of any top family in the God Realm with the surname Leng.
"Our Leng family has not yet established a family in the God Realm." Seeing Elder Caosan's doubts, Leng Ruoxue explained.
"Oh!" Leng Ruoxue's words made Elder Cao San's enthusiasm for her plummet, originally thinking that she was good friends with Ning Shaozhu and Cheng Shaozhu, and she was also a young lady from a top family! Who knew it was a casual cultivator who didn't even have a family, but that's fine, it's best for people with no background to fiddle with, isn't it!
The three elders of the Cao family saw that Leng Ruoxue and the others had no value in intersecting, so they became indifferent to them, and turned to warm up with Ning Hao.
I saw him walk to Ning Hao's side, talking to him with a smile on his face, Leng Ruoxue and the others saw this, so they walked to the corner with interest, and each found a place to sit down, and the grapes and a few people also took out food to prepare for dinner.
"Miss! What is this, Elder Cao San is really a dog's eye and looks down on people! Feng Da said with some indignation.
"It's not just right! I don't plan to have any deep friendships with them. Leng Ruoxue smiled disappreciably.
"Huh! It's still the little girl who thinks about it, boy! You haven't exercised enough! You know, no matter where you are, this kind of person with eyes on the top of the head is indispensable, so let's be calm! Moreover, these people are not worthy of your association. Uncle Long said earnestly. In fact, in addition to being able to search for people here, he is also very talented in recognizing people, so he only needs to take a look at it and knows that these people from the Cao family can only use it.
"I'm very calm, and I don't want to associate with them, I just think this person is too realistic! As soon as they heard that we didn't have a family, they ignored us. Feng Da said a little staggeringly, he has grown so big, and he has seen a lot of people, but it is the first time he has seen such a reality.
"In the God Realm, the family is very important, and if a cultivator who has no roots and no backing wants to get ahead, he must have something to rely on, otherwise do you think there are so many strong people who want to attach themselves to a more powerful top shili? It is because those shili can provide them with more resources, therefore, many strong people would rather be a guest in the top family than go to the god realm alone, and the biggest advantage of having attachment is that it will make the enemy forget about it. Uncle Long said with a light smile.
"Oh! What if the enemy is so strong that even the clans to which he is attached are afraid? Feng Da asked curiously.
Uncle Long listened to Feng Da's question, was stunned, and then said: "Few people will be stupid enough to provoke such an enemy, if they do, they can only be regarded as unlucky, and in this case, the family can only choose to sacrifice him." ”
"Isn't it pitiful for those who were sacrificed?" Fonda said with a slight sympathy.
"That's no way around it! Not to mention the guest who is just attached to his own family, even if it is his direct family who is in trouble, there is no negotiation when he sacrifices! Uncle Long sighed lightly and said, this is the sorrow of the big family.
"If we get into big trouble, my young lady will never choose to sacrifice us." Feng Da listened to Uncle Long's words and said with great certainty.
"How many people in this world do you think will be like the little girl?" Uncle Long asked a little speechlessly, after getting along for a few days, he had a basic understanding of these people, and he was also very clear about Leng Ruoxue's status in the hearts of her subordinates, but that little girl was indeed a trustworthy person, and his impression of Leng Ruoxue was also very good.
"Hey, hey! It's not a few. Moreover, when our shili becomes stronger in the future, if you want to come to us as a guest, you must be a god, and we don't want the god emperor! Feng Damei said.
"Divine Venerable?" Uncle Long stared at him and scolded with a smile: "You really dare to think about it!" The gods of the god realm, the human race and the beast clan are added together, and there are only more than 100 people who are well known, and the major shili will regard the god as the treasure of the town clan, do you think there will be a god who wants to be a guest for you? Even among the eight great divine domains and the four royal families of the beast clan, the god venerable and the divine beasts of the god venerable level are all at the ancestor level, which one do you think will let their own ancestor go to you as a guest? ”
Feng Da's whimsy made Uncle Long very helpless, but he still admired this little guy for daring to think like this, thinking about what others dare not think, this is also a kind of courage!
"Is there a hidden god in the Divine Realm?" After listening to what Uncle Long said, Leng Ruoxue suddenly asked, the so-called Hidden God Venerable is very low-key, rarely known, and even if he broke through, he never announced the strong man in the world.
"Yes! There are many low-key and mysterious shili in the god world, and almost all of the gods in those shili are little known, and even the people in that shili are very low-key, but their reputation is not small, and such a shili who does not know the details is often the most unoffended. Uncle Long said very cautiously.
"Little girl! Walking in the divine realm, the most important thing is a forbearance, don't offend people easily, even if you have to provoke, don't leave anyone with any handles, you must cut the grass and eradicate the roots, otherwise, there will be endless troubles. Uncle Long added.
"Hmm!" Leng Ruoxue nodded, and at this moment, the food of the grapes was almost done, and the fragrance quickly attracted the attention of the three elders of the Cao family and the others.
Elder Cao San half-squinted his eyes, the essence in his eyes flashed, he didn't expect that these people would have such fresh food in their hands, this is really more popular than people!
Before they entered the secret realm, because they fantasized about this place too beautifully, they didn't bring any other food except for some dry food with them, and they originally thought that if they were hungry here, they could at least eat some beast meat, but as a result, they didn't even see the shadow of a beast. And for nearly a month here, they also nibbled on dry food that had been tied up for several days. Fortunately, with their cultivation, they don't feel hungry if they don't eat food, but after all, they have also cultivated from ordinary people, so food is also an indispensable thing for them, although they don't eat it every day, but they occasionally have to get addicted.
However, the dry food brought by himself and others really didn't arouse much of the interest they wanted to eat, but the food that these people made seduced out their gluttony, and the smell was drooling just by smelling, even if they were at home, I am afraid they would not be able to make such a delicious taste.
While thinking like this, Elder Cao San had already involuntarily walked to Leng Ruoxue and the others, and sat down, before he said, "What is it made, it is so fragrant!" ”
"It's just simple food, not worth mentioning." Leng Ruoxue chuckled.
"It's not unusual to be able to make simple food so delicious!" Elder Cao San exclaimed, but his eyes were fixed on the pot in Lu Tao's hand.
"Elder Cao San has already talked about it, let's use some together!" Leng Ruoxue said helplessly, how long has this old man been hungry, and when she saw the food, her eyes were green, and she didn't know if she didn't take the initiative to ask them to eat some, they would grab it.
"Huh! Then we're welcome. After Elder Cao San finished speaking, he actually took the initiative to pick up the green peach and put it in the haode bowl and served it himself, and the rest of the Cao family were not polite when they saw this, because the taste of this food was so tempting.
Seeing their move of not treating themselves as outsiders, Green Peach was so angry that she was angry, but she couldn't bear it when she received the comfort of Leng Ruoxue's eyes.
However, she couldn't understand why her own young lady tolerated them so much, these people looked down on them when they were clear, and now they came to steal their food regardless of their face, it was so shameless, her face turned stiff when she thought of this.
After finishing dinner without a good face, Lu Tao and the others were about to set up a tent to rest, but they saw Leng Ruoxue take out the house and place it in the open space, and suddenly, everyone was a little nervous.
Miss, what's the matter? How can an outsider take out the house? Feng Da and the others were dumbfounded, why is Miss so high-profile? This is not like the character of the young lady! At this moment, everyone's hearts turned upside down, but Uncle Long was very calm, and after seeing Leng Ruoxue take out the house, he smiled appreciatively, and then walked straight in.
Also dumbfounded were Elder Cao San and the others, as soon as the house appeared, they were all stunned.
I saw that they were half-open, and they didn't react for a long time, and when they came back to their senses, they all rubbed their eyes in unison, afraid that everything in front of them was an illusion, but after confirming, they believed that the house in front of them was real.
After confirming the authenticity of the house, the well-informed Elder Cao San suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a legendary space artifact that could live in people, which was the shape of the house, but it was said that the materials for refining that kind of artifact were very difficult to find, and the craftsmen who could refine the space artifact that could live in people in this world were as few as rare, so who refined this house? His mind was full of question marks.
For a while, the three elders of the Cao family had mixed feelings and mixed tastes in their hearts, and the sour water in their hearts came out of their hearts uncontrollably, yes! He was jealous! Moreover, I am still very jealous! Such a little girl with no identity and no status actually has a space artifact that is enough to make everyone in the god realm crazy and can live in people, this, this is really incredible! Why is she?
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, the three elders of the Cao family were about to go crazy with jealousy, if this artifact was owned by the young master of the Cheng family or the young master of the Ning family, maybe his heart would be more balanced, after all, the identity and status of the people were there! It's not surprising that there's anything good.
However, such an artifact actually fell into the hands of a yellow-haired girl with low strength and no identity and status, which made his heart extremely unbalanced, and even in his opinion, if this artifact could be owned by him, it would definitely play a much greater role than in Leng Ruoxue's hands, and if their Cao family had this space artifact, then the Cao family's status in the divine realm would probably be higher, and it was not impossible to become the ninth great divine domain in the divine realm, even in this secret realm, if they had that artifact in their hands, It will also be like a tiger with wings, and the chance of surviving in the secret realm will also be greatly increased, and the many benefits make Elder Cao San's heart move, and when he thinks of this, the greed in his heart suddenly rises.
"Miss Leng, if I'm not mistaken, this house should be the legendary space artifact, right?" The third elder of the Cao family deliberately put on a look of surprise and asked very cautiously.
"Elder Cao San is very discerning, not bad! This is the legendary space artifact that can live in people. Leng Ruoxue replied with a smile, and her words made the eyes of the few people in the Cao family who had just reacted widen in surprise, after all, if it wasn't for the fact that the three elders said this, they wouldn't have dared to think in that direction at all.
"May I ask Miss Leng, how did you get this artifact?" Elder Cao San asked curiously, although he knew that his question was a bit abrupt, but he asked it uncontrollably.
"I spent a lot of money and asked the smith of the Smith Association to help refine it, and I lost my money for this artifact." Leng Ruoxue complained.
"If you can have such an artifact if you go bankrupt, it's worth it." Elder Cao San said enviously, even if their Cao family wanted to go bankrupt, they were afraid that they would not be able to get all the materials for refining this artifact, thinking of this, he was even more jealous of Leng Ruoxue, how could their luck be so good? However, her good luck was coming to an end, Elder Cao San secretly thought with hatred.
"Elder Cao San, we plan to sleep in it today, as for you, if you are interested, you can also come in and sleep." Leng Ruoxue warmly invited.
"That's Miss Xiexie Leng." Elder Cao San thought about it, and Zuihou still agreed, although there would be a certain risk in entering the master's artifact, but they had been on high alert for a while, and everyone was worried and nervous, which was very unfavorable to them in the secret realm, so they really needed to rest, besides, with Cheng Xuan here, he believed that Leng Ruoxue would not dare to disadvantage them even if he looked at Cheng Xuan's face.
"Please! Feng Da, you arrange a room for Elder Cao San and the others. Leng Ruoxue commanded.
"Yes!" Feng Da replied reluctantly, and then said to Elder Cao San and the others: "Elder Cao San! I'll take you to the guest room. ”
"I'm tired." Elder Cao San arched his hand and bowed slightly.
Seeing the backs of the Cao family and the Cheng family brothers and sisters, Green Peach pouted and said with some puzzlement: "Miss! Why take out the house and let them live in? I don't have a good heart when I see that the three elders are clearly distinguished! When you see this house, you may even see wealth! "She was worried.
"Afraid of what? I am the owner of this house, and since they have moved in, everything has to be arranged by me. Leng Ruoxue said disapprerovingly.
"Let's all rest! It's all about keeping your spirits up. Leng Ruoxue said again.
After saying that, she pulled the demon and went straight back to the room.
In the room, the demon took Leng Ruoxue into his arms and chuckled: "Xue'er, aren't you really afraid that they have bad intentions and want to take this house as their own?" ”
"Even if they have that mind, they have to have that ability!" Leng Ruoxue said quite confidently, in fact, she was willing to let those people live in, not because of how kind she was, but because she felt that it was not easy to meet someone in this secret realm, besides, she had not figured out the true face of this secret realm, and she had not found her godfather and others, so if she could live peacefully with these people, it was not impossible to join forces with them for the time being, and now it depends on whether these people can withstand her test.
Here Leng Ruoxue and the demon are chatting, and Cheng Xian'er, who is in the guest room, has not been able to calm down.
After Cheng Xian'er freshened up, she kept pacing around the guest room alone, unable to calm down in her heart, and her jealousy of Leng Ruoxue was rekindled.
Why could that woman have such an artifact?
Looking at the furnishings in this room, all of them are carefully selected, and the decoration inside is no worse than that in her boudoir, and the guest room alone is so exquisite, you can imagine how luxurious the master room will be. The more she thought about it, the more uncontrollable the jealousy in her heart came out of her heart.
Actually, she really thought wrong, the decoration in Leng Ruoxue's master room is really not as much as in this guest room, because Leng Ruoxue has always liked a simple and clear style, so the furnishings in her room are actually less pitiful, but relatively speaking, they are more exquisite.
However, people's jealousy cannot be controlled, and at this moment, Cheng Xian'er's heart is being devoured by a poison called jealousy, she thinks about it and thinks that Leng Ruoxue, a lowly woman, is not worthy of this artifact, such an artifact, only she, the direct line of the Cheng family, is qualified to have!
Although she and the three elders of the Cao family had not discussed, both of them coveted this house, and hers seemed to be even stronger.
Thinking of this, she turned and walked out of the room and pushed open the door next door.
The person living in the next room was none other than her own brother. Seeing Cheng Xian'er uninvited, getting dressed, and bare on his upper body, Cheng Yi showed a trace of discomfort on his face.
"Xian'er! Why don't you knock on the door when you come in! Cheng Yi hurriedly got dressed and said with some displeasure.
"Brother! I'm your sister, what are you shy! Cheng Xian'er saw her brother's expression and said disapprerovingly.
"Then there should be a knock on the door!" Cheng Yi said without negotiation.
"Alright! Brother, I was wrong! Cheng Xian'er didn't want to annoy her brother because of this little thing, so she hurriedly daoqian, and then, she said very cautiously: "I have something important to discuss with you!" ”
"What's the matter?" Seeing Cheng Xian'er's solemn face, Cheng Yi asked puzzled.
"Brother! What do you think of this artifact? "I'm afraid that the wall has ears, so Cheng Xian'er directly transmitted the voice.
"Of course it's good! This is a legendary space artifact, and not everyone can have it. Cheng Yi also replied.
"What if... Can this artifact belong to us? Cheng Xian'er cautiously tentatively said. She didn't know if her brother would approve of her idea, but she knew that few people could refuse the temptation of such an artifact.
"Do you want to buy it from Miss Leng?" Cheng Yi glanced at his sister and asked, this was only obtained by someone who went bankrupt, he didn't think that people would sell it.
"Buy? I'm afraid we can't afford it. Cheng Xian'er smiled wickedly, and said secretly, this brother is sometimes sincere, and he even thinks of buying it, even if he wants to buy it, how can they get so much money?
"And how do you want to get it?" Cheng Yi's face was full of question marks.
"As long as the woman surnamed Leng dies, this artifact of hers will become ownerless, and it will not belong to us at that time." Cheng Xian'er said.
"You, it's too easy for you to think, there are so many people around her, you think you can kill her?" Cheng Xian'er's words made Cheng Yi speechless, although he was also a little greedy for that artifact, but he was self-aware and would not delusion about that boundless thing, coupled with his always cautious character, therefore, although he coveted that artifact, he never thought of taking possession of it, so his sister was quite uneasy about thinking about it.
"The people around her are not very strong, and it is easy to deal with, but I didn't think of killing her myself." Cheng Xian'er smiled evilly and said, with Brother Yan here, how could she let him see her dark side? In front of Brother Yan, she will always be a well-behaved and lovely fairy.
"And what do you want?" Cheng Yi was taken aback and asked a little nervously.
"Those monsters in this secret realm should like them very much!" Cheng Xian'er sneered wickedly and said what she thought.
"Y-You're crazy! If we do attract those monsters, we will die! Cheng Xian'er's crazy thoughts made Cheng Yi's heart beat wildly, and his face became pitch black, those monsters, he still has palpitations, and he can't hide from them! My sister even wanted to use their hands to kill Leng Ruoxue and the others, this, how could this be possible? How could those monsters who have no mind and only know how to kill listen to their sister's words, this is simply whimsical!
"We won't! As long as those monsters kill Leng Ruoxue first, this house will belong to me, and after recognizing the Lord, we will be safe to hide inside. Cheng Xian'er said confidently.
"Can you guarantee that those monsters will kill them first?" Cheng Yi held back his anger and asked. My sister's idea is so brain-dead that he won't agree to anything. After all, they have already experienced the dangers of this secret realm, so what they need most now is allies, not to see wealth, if they can't even save their lives, even if they get more treasures, what's the use? Asking for money is not life, only a fool would do such a thing!
"I'm not 100 percent sure, but we can figure it out." Cheng Xian'er said.
"Xian'er! Stop your thoughts, I don't allow you to fight this artifact's idea, in this secret realm, the first thing we have to ensure is to live, therefore, we must get along with them, only in this way, our chances of survival will be greatly increased. After listening to Cheng Xian'er's words, Cheng Yi warned very sternly, it is very unwise to calculate allies and make money in this dangerous secret realm, so he will never allow Xian'er to have such thoughts.
"Alright! I give up. Seeing that her brother disagreed, and his attitude was very tough, she had no choice but to go along the way.
"Xian'er! It's also a good thing for us that this Miss Leng has this artifact, at least with them, we don't have to be so scared, and the chances of survival have increased, so we have to treat them as allies, and we have to work together in this secret realm, only in this way, can we get out of here alive. Cheng Yi was afraid that his sister was still worried about other people's artifacts, so he had to say it more clearly.
"I know." Cheng Xian'er nodded, of course she understood this truth, but she felt in her heart that if the artifact was in her hands, their chances of survival would be greater.
However, since her brother didn't support her idea, she could only bury this idea in her heart for the time being, but it was absolutely impossible to make her give up.
After the two parties seemed to get along with each other for a few days, Leng Ruoxue knew more about this secret realm, but she had not seen any of the monsters in the other party's mouth so far.
During the day, they were looking for clues in the secret realm, and at night, they all entered the room to recuperate, and in this way, half a month passed quickly.
Although Elder Cao San had only lived in the house for half a month, the more he knew about this house, the deeper his desire for this house became, but he didn't dare to show it at all, nor did he dare to reveal his thoughts to anyone, but his attitude towards Feng Da and the others was much friendlier.
Every day, he would come to Feng Da and the others, chatting with them enthusiastically, and quietly inquiring about the other party's news, but after a few days, he was disappointed to find that he didn't inquire about any useful information, but let the other party say a lot of words, and, in order to win their trust, he almost told them all the Cao family's family background, this fact made him extremely depressed, but at the same time, he became more and more frustrated.
And Feng Da and the others were also quite enthusiastic about Elder Cao San, and it could be said that they had to answer all questions, but unfortunately, they all answered the questions.
As the two sides played Tai Chi, their pace of march became closer and closer to a valley...
