Chapter 45: Temptation

  In a world heading in an unknown direction, there is always an inexplicable sense of unease in one's heart.

  Although, nowadays Sai Kor Cheung has exceptionally given himself a secret book called "Corn Heart Scripture" and also gave me some guidance.

  Now, Xiong Xiaotu has been kicked out by himself, and Min Xi is not very sincere either. This can be considered as a profound lesson for myself, not everyone is suitable to be teammates.

  Even with a lot of complaints in mind, I'm still a little curious, I wonder if Min Xi will think of coming to rescue me?

  The three Nas brothers are all ruthless characters, from Hua Er who can arbitrarily kill the pet Gui'er, to Ai Si who handed me over to Tao Yi for "education", and also Nas who wanted to poison me and offer me to his father king.

  Ugh……just thinking of the three of them makes all the hairs on my body stand up. How can there be such terrifying kids?! I feel like none of them are very old, Nas and the others are probably only around twenty years old or so, while Hua'er is even younger, probably only fourteen or fifteen.

  Isn't it true that those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black? They have such great power, so naturally they won't take people seriously.

  Should I take matters into my own hands? I remembered my mission and set out of the cave early next morning.

  From afar, I can see a fantastical and beautiful castle, but my heart doesn't feel at ease because of its beauty. Because I know that it's a beautiful hell, and no matter how beautiful hell is, I don't want to go there.

  However, I couldn't retreat anymore. If I wanted to return to the real world, then I had to complete my task. I went to the mountains to pick some wild fruits to eat, and afterwards, I devoted myself to practicing the "Jade Millet Heart Sutra".

  I think it's still better for me to have some self-defense and attacking skills.

  Corn Heart Sutra is divided into three practices: one is heart method, two is attack method, and three is dark art. The three can be separated or merged.

  The so-called dark art is actually similar to the previous X-shaped flying dart hook. I can press a button on the dart, and it will transform into a standing type, then after assembly, it becomes a small soft sword.

  The first four forms, the heart method is like a mirror in the mind, the attack uses gentle force, and the movement becomes a flying dart in sword form.

  But dissecting it carefully, the traces of those sword styles are actually very similar to painting corn, so it's called Corn Heart Scripture.

  This is Saiguo Chen's interpretation of the Corn Heart Sutra, but I don't think it's entirely so.

  I think it's more likely that this Corn Heart Scripture was created by Sai Guangchen himself, otherwise, why would the great masters give such a ridiculous name to their precious scripture!

  I've mastered the first four forms, but the fifth form is a bit unclear. I thought of calling out to Sai Crown, just then, I heard the howling of wild wolves.

  I then came out of the cave, to investigate. I saw Nas, with a frozen face, riding high on a white horse, looking very elegant and extraordinary, just like a prince from a fairy tale. However, he didn't appear in order to welcome a beautiful princess, but rather to capture this wretched "slave" that is me.

  I collected my scattered thoughts and calmly greeted him: "Good morning, Naz!"

  "You've been caught by me, yet you're not afraid, and you even have the mood to greet me?" Nas's expression towards my reaction was even more perplexed, his eyebrows furrowed in a hard and cold tone, like thousands of layers of ice showcasing a magnificent chill.

  "I knew you were looking for me." I shrugged indifferently and said in a firm tone, "Although I know my abilities are not great, but your way of doing things, taking lives lightly, I actually don't agree with it either. Maybe, in front of you big shots, I'm not even worth mentioning, but at least I can live without shame to the heavens and my conscience, so there's no need to be afraid of you!"

  "Oh, really?" Nas still spoke coldly and asked: "You've found a helper, have you? Your words are now laced with venom?"

  "Exactly, as you see, I've found a helper." I raised my chin and said calmly.

  Although I'm really alone now, I think it's good to create a hypothetical enemy phenomenon. Since Nas has seen the strength of the silver-haired beauty, I estimate that he also has some apprehensions. Moreover, although I don't know how powerful the Corn Heart Scripture is, the fact that Sai Crown Chen is willing to give guidance on this task suggests that it can handle some situations.

  If I don't even have confidence in myself, what's the point of saying that I want to venture into another world!

  "Oh." Nas's gaze fell on his own face, that icy coldness was always intangible, carrying a chill that seemed to pierce through to the bone.

  I also found that Nas brought a group of wolf dogs over, probably because he used the olfactory sense of these wolf dogs to find this place smoothly.

  But why did you come now instead of yesterday?

  Is he intentionally doing this? He only dared to look for himself after making sure the silver-haired beauty had left.

  I couldn't see through Nas' thoughts and unconsciously tightened my grip on the ring, ready to release the X-shaped flying dart at any time.

  That's another peculiar thing about this X-shaped dart, it can also temporarily hide in the ring, and only needs to be released when I need to use it.

  "Give me up." Nas said with his mouth, then a group of wolf dogs rushed towards him.

  Little guy, I lightly flew up and then, with a beautiful posture, shot out an X-shaped flying dart. One move "Dream Turning Thousands of Times", the flying darts came back and forth at high speed, in my continuous throwing action.

  Only those wolf dogs were seen, one after another falling to the ground.

  It seems that Corn Heart Scripture is indeed somewhat capable, for these small roles, I am already able to handle them.

  "Oh, one day without seeing you, your skills have improved quite a bit." Nas's eyebrows rose slightly, and his originally cold eyes had an added warmth.

  "Why don't we work together!" A bold idea suddenly emerged in my mind, and if this plan could be implemented, I might have a way to get the three teardrops.

  "Cooperation?" Nass looked at himself with a puzzled expression.

  Then, I met his gaze again and said slowly: "For people like Min Xi who forget their conscience for the sake of gain, I also want to kill them with a clear conscience. If you are willing to believe me, then I can find a way to deceive him and get three pieces of food."

  "How can I be sure you're not just playing along?" Nas seemed like he wasn't that easy to fool either.

  "With confidence like yours, are you still afraid of our great union?" I have another way of saying it.

  "And what's in it for you, wanting to work with us?" Nass asked.

  "I want to know what's going on between you two because I'm really curious about you guys."

  Nass fell silent, I don't know if he would agree or not. Just as I was about to say something, Nass spread his hands and said: "This is quite an interesting game, if you can do it, I'll tell you."

  It's great, Nas finally agreed! However, it seems easy on the surface, but in fact, Min Xi is also a sly one... sigh... I know I've gotten myself into a lot of trouble, and to be honest, it's not a small amount!
