Chapter 17: The Seashore Monster

Lingxi pulled Ling Ning through the noisy street to the "Jinyi Pavilion", and called out to the boss in his puzzled face, asking the boss to take out a piece of gorgeous clothes and let him try it out without saying anything.

"What are you doing here? Bring me to buy clothes? ”

Ling Ning looked confused, and passively let the guy help him change into luxurious clothes.

Lingxi said: "Look at your dirty and torn clothes!" Are you so depressed after you left the Sword Ling Sect? ”

Ling Ning glanced at the gray cloth robe in the corner that had been discarded as "garbage", and argued forcefully, "I...... I've been busy cultivating...... And what am I doing with a monk wearing such a good outfit? Just wear it! ”

Lingxi shook his head helplessly, didn't bother to explain to him, just continued to help him pick out clothes.

At Ling Ning's "strong" request, she picked up an "ordinary" looking cyan cloth robe for him to change into, but even this kind of inconspicuous shirt was specially made by "Heavenly Silk", and it cost two thousand spirit stones!

"No, no, it's too expensive! I have other clothes that I don't really have to buy......"

Ling Ning hadn't bought any clothes since he came down the mountain, they were all leftover clothes that had been "seized" from "Zhou Wu" and "Broken Horror", although they could be worn, they didn't fit, and they were even a little weird. Although Qian Mei'er looked at it in her eyes, she cared about his face, and it was not easy to say it directly, but Lingxi, as the "eldest lady", couldn't stand it.

Lingxi really didn't want to talk nonsense, so he directly took out a large handful of spirit stones and threw them to the shopkeeper, "I want these ten clothes and this cyan cloth robe, is there enough for 200,000 spirit stones here?" ”

That boss is also a shrewd person, how can he not know the eldest lady of the "Lingbao Pavilion"? Seeing the other party's "momentum", he hurriedly nodded desperately and said, "Enough is enough!" You can also make change...... Miss, you can see our family's clothes, it is a small shop, and you are fortunate to have three lives! This young master is handsome, it's really a blessing, a blessing haha! ”

Lingxi waved his hand "domineeringly", "The rest should be used as a tip, let's go." ”

When she pulled Ling Ning out of the "Jinyi Pavilion", the shopkeeper was still bowing vigorously behind her.

Ling Ning coughed lightly and said, "That...... I'll give you ...... money."

"Not necessarily."

Lingxi didn't care about the authentic way, and then looked him up and down a few times, and said with a smile: "Well, you are still very attractive in new clothes, although the cultivators don't care about the subtleties, but you are also a disciple of Shui Yuetian, you always have to take care of the face of the sect when you go out, I don't know and think that you are a homeless man who came out of nowhere." ”

"Ah...... This one...... Be...... Yes yes ......"

Ling Ning was embarrassed for a while and didn't know what to say, just thinking about how to repay her this "favor", you must know that this is the second time she owes her a favor, the first time is the cheats of "Taicang Twelve Swords".

"You don't have to think about how to repay me this favor, you just need to answer me one question."

Lingxi stopped and looked back at him.

"Whatever the question, you ask."

"What day the ore ...... Did you see through what was inside before you went to shoot it? ”

This question was so sudden, Ling Ning didn't know why she thought so, but he didn't hesitate to reply, "Of course not!" No one can see through what's inside, at least not to anyone I don't know. ”

Lingxi took a step forward lightly and asked tightly, "Really?" ”

Ling Ning's face did not change and said, "Of course! ”

Although he said this, he secretly said in his heart: "You just asked me to answer a question, and you didn't say that you want to tell the truth, so it's okay to tell lies!" Besides, how can such a life-threatening matter be leaked casually? This has to let her know the truth, and I can't guarantee that this girl won't try to gouge out my eyes......"

"Okay!"

Lingxi was also simply, turned around and didn't ask anymore, and Ling Ning also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Anyway, why are you looking for me to come out? It's not just a matter of hanging out. ”

"Naturally not, you go back to the Lingbao Pavilion with me first, and then talk about it when you arrive."

Back to the Lingbao Pavilion, waiting for the maid to serve fragrant tea, Lingxi waved the maid away, and only the two of them were left in the house.

She said slowly, "Didn't Ling Gongzi want the blood of the demon beast spirit?" I don't know what it's used for? ”

Ling Ning smiled bitterly, "Do I have to answer?" ”

"Of course not, I'm just asking casually, if it's inconvenient to answer, forget it."

"It's just for ordinary cultivation, and I really can't tell you about it, so please forgive me."

Lingxi nodded and didn't ask, "The essence blood of demon beasts above the fifth order is extremely rare in our mortal dust continent, and we need to transfer goods from the immortal dust continent, but the cost is relatively high, and it probably takes about three million spirit stones......"

"This ...... It seems a little too expensive, but I'm afraid I can't afford it. ”

"Ling Gongzi might as well ...... that ore marrow"

Ling Ning's face showed embarrassment, "Is there any other choice?" ”

Lingxi smiled playfully, "Okay, I won't tease you!" I know you can't afford it right now, and there's a second way you want to hear it? ”

"Of course, I'd like to hear about it!"

At this time, the snow outside was getting heavier and heavier, and although the two of them were not afraid of the cold and heat, the maid still prepared a charcoal fire intimately, and at this moment the flame was burning with a slight crackling sound.

"Recently, the small coastal country of 'Qi Kingdom' issued a bounty, saying that it has been the frequent appearance of sea monsters on the coast recently, and seven or eight small fishing villages have been tragically destroyed. According to the reports of the people below, it should be a fifth-order demon beast doing the trick. ”

"The fifth-order demon beast is equivalent to the level of the Dan Formation stage, and the monks of the Mortal Dust Continent are limited by the Xuanyuan Sword Formation, so it is indeed difficult to deal with."

"That's right, and the coastal area of Qi is on the edge of the continent, even the power of the Xuanyuan Sword Array has been greatly weakened, and those demon beasts are more able to exert their full strength, and it is even more difficult to deal with."

"Although the demon beast is tricky, it shouldn't be too difficult for your Spirit Treasure Pavilion."

Lingxi hesitated slightly, and then said: "It's nothing, but this time I have to deal with it myself, this is the test that the family gave me......"

"What do you mean? Coping with it yourself? You don't want to drag me with you to kill monsters, do you? The strength of fifth-order demon beasts can be large or small, from the early stage of the knot to the peak of the late stage of the knot, it is all in the range of the fifth order, and the real strength of the demon beasts is often much higher than that of the monks of the same level, so the two of us must not be able to deal with it. ”

Lingxi glanced at him, as if to say, "Don't I know what you're talking about?" Expression.

"That's why I said this is a test given to me by my family."

"Test? Isn't your family's test going to your death? ”

Lingxi shook his head and said, "Of course not, I don't want to die myself." According to the rules of the family, if I want to go to the Immortal Dust Continent, I must accept the test of the family, and I can only go after passing the test. Grandpa often said that the Immortal Dust Continent is an extremely cruel environment, and if I can't even complete the test, I won't be able to survive in the Immortal Dust Continent, let alone inherit the family's inheritance. So, whether you agree with me or not, I'll go, and it's a big deal to find a way. ”

"I think your grandfather has a point, but what do you think? Any plans? ”

"The family will not help me in any way, I have just told you all the information. Moreover, Grandpa also said to the outside world that no mercenary organization could help, otherwise it would be against Lingbao Pavilion. ”

Ling Ning now probably understood her situation, to put it simply, there was no one available, and it happened that he also needed demon beast essence blood when he ran into him, so it was really a hit.

"How? Are you here to help? Seeing that he seemed to be hesitant, Lingxi said, "If I can really kill the demon beast, I don't want anything." It may be too superficial to tell you about money, but I can only say that if you help me this time, I will remember it and I owe you a favor. ”

Ling Ning secretly said in his heart that it would be better for you to mention money with me, but how could he say it, he could only say, "Okay, okay, I agreed." When are you going to go? ”

Lingxi said happily: "Naturally, the sooner the better, how about tomorrow?" ”

Ling Ning thought for a moment and said, "Three days later, I still have to prepare." ”

The two agreed to meet in Lingbao Pavilion three days later, and then they separated. Ling Ning went back to the mountain gate alone, and actually bumped into Luo Yan halfway up the mountainside, this guy's injury was almost healed, but his face was still wrapped in thick gauze, and only his nose, eyes, and mouth were exposed, which was quite funny.

At this moment, he was loudly "slandering" Ling Ning in front of a group of disciples.

"Phew! The outcasts surnamed Ling are shameless! Sneak attack! Definitely a sneak attack! If it's a head-to-head confrontation, how can he be my opponent? ”

Some of the disciples who did not attend the battle also scolded Ling Ning when they heard it, and some of them who went to watch the battle naturally knew that what he said was not the truth, but they had no choice but to flatter loudly due to the other party's "obscenity".

Ling Ning quietly walked over without saying a word and patted him on the shoulder.

Luo Yanzheng was talking energetically, and when he turned around and saw him coming, he was so frightened that he took a few steps back and almost sat down on the ground. Some of the surrounding disciples had seen him, and naturally they all put on an expression of "there is a lively scene to see now". I haven't seen him, and when I saw Luo Yan's reaction, I also looked at him curiously, secretly guessing where he was sacred.

Ling Ning smiled "kindly" and said, "Brother Luo, what are you talking about so energetically, can you also share it with your junior brother." ”

Although Luo Yan's face was wrapped in gauze, it could be seen that he was still very shocked.

After being silent for a while, he actually bowed to Ling Ning and said, "Little brother to meet big brother!" ”

On the contrary, Ling Ning was slightly stunned, he didn't expect this guy to really "be willing to gamble and lose".

Seeing that he didn't speak, Luo Yan said again: "Since the eldest brother didn't give orders, the younger brother will leave!" ”

He turned around and left, but Ling Ning didn't want to let him go so easily, and flew a kick towards his ass!

"Bang!" There was a sound on the ground, and then Luo Yan said, "Ah! With a scream, he rolled down the stone steps and fell into a terrible mess.

Ling Ning laughed and said, "Hey! Stinky boy! Since you said that I attacked me, I will sneak attack you! Next time, remember not to let others hear you when you say bad things about others! ”

Luo Yan pointed at him tremblingly, "You...... You...... You ......" kept talking, but you didn't dare to scold, so you had to mumble to yourself, cover your ass and limp away.

Ling Ning was in a good mood, and returned to the "Jade Void Peak" with grace, and Qian Mei'er actually greeted her happily, seeing that the aura on her body seemed to have broken through.

"Congratulations, Mei'er, you broke through!"

Qian Mei'er nodded with a smile on her face, and suddenly she noticed the clothes on his body, her face changed slightly, and then she immediately resumed her smile and said, "Xiao Ning, are you going out?" ”

Ling Ning obviously didn't notice her "small actions" at all, and said with a good feeling to herself: "Yes, I went out of the mountain gate to see someone, ah, you don't know that I actually saw Luo Yan's kid halfway up the mountain, and he was saying bad things about me...... I fly with a kick! Hahaha! ”

Qian Mei'er narrowed her eyes and suddenly stared at him closer, "I don't care about Luo Yan or anything, I'm more curious about where the fat powder fragrance on your body comes from?" ”

"Fat powder? Why didn't I smell it? ”

"And when did you buy this new dress? I've never seen you wear such beautiful clothes when I've been with me before. ”

"Oh, I went to see Lingxi, she had to buy it for me......"

"Do I have to buy it for you? You'd better make it clear to me! ”

"Oops! Don't pinch my ears! It's not what you think! Listen to my quibbles...... Oh no, listen to me! ”

……

After Ling Ning covered her reddened ears and explained "pitifully", Qian Mei'er nodded and then slapped her palm, "Okay!" In that case, I'm going too! ”

"Huh? Are you going too? ”

"What, don't you want me to go?"

"No, no, no...... It's good that you're going to go naturally......"

"Then what are you hesitating about! Three days later, let's go! ”

Three days later, Qian and Ling took the golden eagle to Yicheng together, and saw a Lingxi dressed in gorgeous clothes in the Lingbao Pavilion.

The two women looked at each other when they met for the first time, and they had a bit of a "showdown".

"Who is Ling Gongzi?"

Before Ling Ning could speak, Qian Mei'er preemptively said, "Is this the deputy pavilion master of the Lingbao Pavilion?" It's really charming. No wonder so many men fall for Miss. ”

Lingxi had an excellent memory, and she immediately recognized Qian Mei'er as the companion who participated in the auction with Ling Ning that day.

"This girl is too modest, you are the flower and the moon, no wonder Ling Gongzi wants to go with you wherever he goes."

"That's not necessarily, just that he didn't invite me to go with him last time he went out of the mountain, I don't know where to meet the beautiful woman?"

"Hey, hey, last time you were in retreat! It's not early, let's set off as soon as possible! ”

Ling Ning couldn't help but have a headache when she saw the two women "-for-tat".

"Dare to ask if the two are Taoist couples? Why did Ling Gongzi go to see whom the girl cared so much? ”

At the mention of the word "Taoist couple", Qian Meier blushed slightly.

"Dao...... Not a Taoist couple, but as his senior sister, I should take more care of him, so as not to be deceived by some 'ill-intentioned' people. ”

"Hey, hey, hey! Enough is enough! Stop, stop! ”

Ling Ning really couldn't stand it, he stood between the two women, and said quickly: "Let's unite in this dangerous trip, let's not quarrel." ”

"Whoever quarreled, we just talked normally!"

"That's right, what do you keep interjecting when we girls talk?"

Ling Ning saw that the two women seemed to be standing on a front and angry at him again, so he could only raise his hand and say, "Okay, good, I was wrong!" I'll wait for you below, and you'll come down when you're done talking!" ”

After that, he ignored the objections of his second daughter and hurriedly ran out.

Just when his legs were about to stiffen, the two girls actually came out talking and laughing!

"Mei'er, I still have a lot of good rouge gouache here, all of which are best-selling outside the territory, which ones you like will be given to you."

"Oh, how did I use so much, in that case, then I'll give you these earrings."

"Such delicate earrings! Thank you, Mei'er! ”

……

Ling Ning on the side was dumbfounded, obviously he was still nervous just now, how could he be like a person now. He shook his head helplessly, followed behind the second daughter, and didn't dare to speak casually.

A few people took the flying demon beast prepared in advance by the spirit rhino to the big city of Qi first, and then rode along the coastline to explore the traces of the demon beast.

In five days they inspected four or five small fishing villages, but unfortunately they were all deserted, and there were large stains of dry brown blood left in the ruins, so it can be expected that the battle situation at that time must have been very miserable.

According to the villagers who have witnessed it, the monster is four or five meters high, the wings are open seven or eight meters, the whole body feathers are gorgeous, the appearance is like a chicken, but it has a white head, rat-like legs, and tiger-like sharp claws.

This demon beast has "bloodbathed" many small villages, and only the "Ping'an Village" not far away survived, and they are about to defect.

The three of them discussed it and decided to go to Ping'an Village as well, but they didn't expect to meet a group of monks on the way! The leader is actually Huo Jingyu, Wen Hao, and Wen Xi, two brothers and sisters, and this group of people is coming from the direction of Ping'an Village.

Huo Jingyu was originally talking to Wen Xi, and he was making the latter laugh so much that he was "trembling with flowers", but as soon as he saw Lingxi, he left his little junior sister and quickly greeted him.

"Ling'er! It's you! It's really you! How did you come here? ”

Lingxi obviously didn't have a special impression of him, but just said politely: "Huo Gongzi, I didn't expect you to be here, why are you here?" Why did you bring so many people? ”

Huo Jingyu was very excited when he saw Lingxi, and hurriedly said: "Recently, there have been demon beasts frequently moving along the coast, so we are naturally doing the right thing for the sky!" Of course, it's on the scene, but it'......"

He suddenly lowered his voice, approached Lingxi and whispered: "The Xuanyuan Sword is about to be born, and there is an abnormal movement along the coast, so Gu Li sent us over to investigate, Miss Ling'er, are you too?" ”

As soon as the three words of Xuanyuan Sword came out, Qian and Ling's hearts moved, and they quietly pricked up their ears.
