Chapter 19: The Sorrow of Ji Luo Fei

  Ji Luo's eyes fluttered open, but she found herself in a room that wasn't very large. There were six people in the room, and she was lying on a wooden bed. Apart from her, there were Zhuang Tianya, Jian Su'e, and Dan Xiangling. The other two, however, were unfamiliar to her.

  "Where is this? Where's Ning City?" Ji Luo Fei reacted and hastily sat up, anxiously asking.

  Tan Xiangling rarely spoke, while Jian Su'e and Ji Luofei were not even on the same path. The other two girls who didn't know Ji Luofei at all wouldn't say anything either. Only Zhuang Tanyi said, "We are now on the flying ship magic treasure heading to Huazhou. The flying ship has just flown over Da'an Forest. In a few more days, we should be able to approach Yuanzhou."

  "Where's Gan Zhou? And what about Ning City?" Ji Luo Fei suddenly jumped down from the wooden couch, asked a question and then followed up with another one before Zhuang Tian Ya could answer, "And my aunt? Did she bring Ning City here?"

  Zhuang Tianya was silent, and Ji Luofei immediately understood what was going on. She turned around and was about to rush out. Zhuang Tianya was shocked and quickly grabbed Ji Luofei's arm, exclaiming, "Are you trying to get yourself killed?"

  "Even if it means risking my life, I must go and rescue Ning City. With Ning City left alone in Cang Qin country, there's no chance of survival..." Ji Luo Fei said anxiously and fearfully, "Let me go quickly."

  Zhuang Tianya didn't let go of Ji Luofei, but instead sighed and said, "Luofei, if you rush out like this, not only will you not make it back to Cangqin Country, but your aunt will also be severely punished. You know what level the seniors on this airship are at? They're at the Xuanli Boundary. Your aunt is just a teacher at an academy, she can only take you back to the Meteorite Academy in Huazhou. There are many things..."

  Ji Luo Fei calmed down and didn't continue to rush out. As for the Xuan Liquid Realm, she naturally knew that only after reaching the ninth layer of the Yuan Building could she impact the Xuan Liquid Realm. And those who can advance to the Xuan Liquid Realm are even more rare, in the lower-level continent, every great power of the Xuan Liquid Realm is an extremely high-ranking existence.

  Building the foundation stage will transform the true yuan into true liquid, casting the foundation. At the same time, it produces divine thoughts, and it can be said that building the foundation stage is a watershed for a cultivator. However, the Mysterious Liquid Stage occurs after the nine layers of Building the Foundation are complete, with the true liquid gathering to form an embryonic Dan Lake in the lower abdomen. As cultivation solidifies, the Dan Lake will expand and thicken, while divine thoughts also strengthen. A cultivator who forms a Dan Lake has power that is much stronger than one at the Building the Foundation stage.

  To put it bluntly, just as her aunt had easily killed two Qi Gathering Sixth Layers back then, the same could be said for the Mystic Liquid Realm being able to easily kill her aunt.

  Ji Luofei's hands were shaking slightly, and Zhuang Tanyan continued, "Besides, even if you go back, you won't be able to save Ning City. Moreover, can you really go back?"

  "What's wrong with him?" Ji Luofei asked in a trembling voice.

  Zhuang Tianya didn't hide the truth, saying, "Ning Cheng had a conflict with Gu Fei when he graduated from college because he heard Gu Fei insult you. As a result, he was challenged by Gu Fei..."

  Ji Luo tightened her fists, and her hands were even more clenched to the point of turning blue. In fact, what left the deepest impression on Ning Cheng was not how many years they had lived together under the same roof, but that she helped Ning Cheng kill Xian Yuan Kui, and after calling out to Ning Cheng to escape, the memories of that period of time.

  That was a short time, but Ning City gave her more impressions than all the previous ones combined.

  "Don't worry... just listen to me."

  "Luó Fēi, you know my abilities, remember to avenge me after I'm gone, I don't want to die without anyone avenging me."

  "Luó Fēi, you're not ugly..."

  Ning Cheng's words were like whispers in his ear, but where was Ning Cheng?

  It takes a long time to truly understand someone, and even then it's not necessarily clear. Sometimes it only takes an instant, and it feels like you've spent a lifetime together. Ji Lu Fei felt that in the brief moment she interacted with Ning Cheng, she already completely understood him.

  "What happened to Ning Cheng later?" Ji Luo Fei, although knowing in her heart that Ning Cheng's chances of survival were slim, still held onto a glimmer of hope and anxiously asked Zhuang Tian Ya.

  Zhuang Tianya felt Ji Luofei's hand trembling, and she sighed slightly in her heart. In her opinion, Ning Cheng was far from being a match for Ji Luofei. She really couldn't understand why Ji Luofei was so concerned about Ning Cheng.

  Zhuang Tianya comfortingly patted Ji Luofei's hand and said, "Gu Fei challenged Ning Cheng, and Ning Cheng suggested going out of the city to compete in speed with Gu Fei. Ning Cheng should want to escape through this method, but his cultivation is really too far apart from Gu Fei's, and there's also Gu Yimeng putting pressure on him."

  Ji Luofei didn't notice at all that her palm was pinched to the point of bleeding, she was very clear that Ning Cheng's ability to handle things was stronger than hers. But in the face of absolute strength, what could Ning Cheng do?

  Ning Cheng, I will definitely avenge you, and I won't let your death go unavenged...

  Ji Luo Fei engraved the sentence word by word in her heart, and when she becomes powerful in the future, she will definitely come back to kill Gu Yi Ming. And also the king of Cang Qin country, and...

  Ji Luo Fei gave a cold glance at Jian Su Jie beside her, she was very clear that Ning Cheng had not done anything to Jian Su Jie, the downfall of the Ning family was absolutely related to Jian Su Jie. In the future when there's an opportunity, she would also help Ning Cheng kill Jian Su Jie and Qiu Ying Guang.

  Seeing Ji Luo Fei's icy gaze, Jian Su Jie felt a chill run down her spine. But she quickly reacted, as if knowing what Ji Luo Fei was thinking, and gave her a cold look in return, "You want to help Ning City take revenge, I, Jian Su Jie, will continue."

  "You and the Qu family colluded to frame Ning Cheng. With Ning Cheng's previous failed attempts at gathering aura, how could he be rude to you? My eyes are not blind. Ning Cheng has left, but I will help him complete his unfinished business." Ji Luo Fei's tone was completely devoid of any emotion.

  Even Zhuang Tianya, who was listening on the side, felt a tremble in her heart. She had an unreasonable feeling that Ji Luofei had changed, becoming someone she completely didn't recognize, no longer the previous Ji Luofei who had sealed herself off but still remained kind.

  Although Jian Su'e's heart was also trembling, she still said, "It is a fact that Ning Cheng was rude to me at the beginning. Later I found out that he was framed by someone else, but it was absolutely not me. Moreover, I am also a victim. It was precisely because of this that I didn't want to continue killing him and even saved him once. Believe it or not."

  Ji Luo Fei closed her eyes and slowly sat down, completely ignoring Jian Su'e.

  ……

  For a month, Ning Cheng and An Yi both walked in detours. An Yi was even more silent, but not entirely useless. At least she could cook and understood various spiritual herbs, only she didn't eat meat. The various prey that Ning Cheng brought back, An Yi never ate.

  Ning Cheng didn't care what An Yi ate, and he spent the entire journey studying the Spiritual Herb book that An Yi had given him. At this point, he was much more advanced than when he first left Cang Yue City. At least for ordinary spiritual herbs, he could recognize them.

  An Yi fell silent, but became even more dependent on Ning Cheng. Every time Ning Cheng went out hunting, she would become anxious and restless, only calming down after seeing Ning Cheng return. The death of her master had a great impact on her.

  That day, Ning Cheng and An Yi once again crossed over a massive mountain. The two had already been able to smell the salty scent of the ocean, and Ning Cheng was excited beyond measure. Even though everything was unfamiliar, the ocean still seemed exactly the same as it had in his past life, at least on the surface.

  Thinking of going to the boundless ocean, Ning Cheng felt that his heart had also become boundless. He even yearned to find himself at the seaside and shout out loud, "I've finally seen the sea again."

  It wasn't until Ning Cheng turned around and saw An Yi still silent that this passionate impulse immediately dissipated, he smiled at An Yi and said, "An Yi, why did your master say you can't get married?"

  Ning Cheng was afraid that if An Yi continued like this, he would get depression. An Yi didn't understand these things, but it didn't mean he didn't know.

  "I don't know either. Master said I couldn't get married, so I won't get married then. Didn't you also tell me that monks and nuns can't get married?" An Yi looked at Ning Cheng with wide eyes.

  Ning Cheng looked at An Yi's bright and clear eyes, then glanced at her thinner face, feeling a bit sad for her. He immediately threw away those emotions, still smiling at An Yi, "An Yi, in my hometown, monks can also get married."

  "Ning Ge, do you want me to marry you?" An Yi asked immediately, and with Ning Cheng, she would never hide the doubts in her heart. After being with Ning Cheng for more than a month, she finally upgraded Ning Cheng to Ning Ge.

  Ning Cheng rubbed his hair anxiously and said, "No, I have a girlfriend now, what I mean is..."

  An Yi smiled slightly and said, "Ning Ge, don't worry about me, thank you for taking care of me on this journey. My master is gone, I'm just feeling sad in my heart. Now I've also gradually come to terms with it, you don't need to specially comfort me."

  Ning Cheng stared blankly at An Yi, now whoever said that this little nun was stupid, he would get angry with them. He had always known what he was thinking in his heart, but just didn't want to say it out loud.

  Jing Cheng looked a bit embarrassed, and An Yi suddenly said, "Ning brother, I've always been grateful to you. Without your company, after my master left, I really didn't know what I should do."

  After finishing speaking, she asked for the first time, "Ning Ge, you said you have a girlfriend. Later, your girlfriend had a small conflict with you and broke up. Do you still want to go find her?"

  Ning Cheng didn't expect that An Yi Lian still remembered this sentence clearly, he had only casually comforted An Yi's master with these words. Given An Yi's sorrowful state at the time, it was surprising she still remembered them. Women are indeed always unpredictable, no matter whether they're nuns or not.

  "It can't be helped, besides I also can't find her now." Ning Cheng shook his head and said.

  "An Yi asked again, 'Ning Ge, if you can find her, will you go look for her?'"

  Ning Cheng fell silent, and Tian Muwan was like that to him without any explanation.

  The woman's tantrum wasn't a big deal, but Tian Mowan shouldn't have given the pearl flower that he gave her to Cha Zhiyi. And yet, Cha Zhiyi had thrown the pearl flower into the sewer, and Tian Mowan actually asked Cha Zhiyi to buy another one for her. Whatever Tian Mowan's intentions were, Ning Cheng felt it would be hard for him to go back to treating her the same way as before.

  He gave those two pearl flowers, which represented his two closest people. He regarded Tian Muwan as a family member like his sister Rouran. Tian Muwan threw away the pearl flowers through Zha Zhiyi's hands, and it was equivalent to throwing away his true heart for Tian Muwan. (Please add to your bookshelf, this is equivalent to having one more collection, thank you!)
