Dashing Student-Chapter 1059 - 1058: Young Master Duobao

"Thank you so much this time, otherwise I, the Daoist, would have been swallowed by that damned snake. What bad luck!"

Divine Calculator cursed incessantly, every time he pulled out a poisoned thorn, his body trembled from the pain.

Looking down at the numerous poisonous thorns on his body, he felt like he was undergoing a brutal torture.

Chen Nan also stepped forward to help, and after a full two hours, all the thorns were finally cleaned away, and Divine Calculator’s skin returned to normal, the poison completely purged.

"In the future, Daoist brother, you should be more cautious, or you’ll suffer again."

Divine Calculator’s eyes widened immediately, "Hmph, if I were at my peak, those demon beasts daring to bare their teeth at me, I’d knock out all their teeth!"

"This is bullying the Daoist when he’s down!"

Chen Nan stood aside, twitching the corner of his mouth, considering this as Divine Calculator’s attempt to save face.

"Daoist brother, where exactly is the Mystic Yin True Water?" Chen Nan suddenly asked, "I need to have some idea, right?"

Divine Calculator understood that Chen Nan was already losing trust in him, given the embarrassment from the previous incidents.

"Jue Mingzi, I truly did not deceive you because I have seen the Mystic Yin True Water with my own eyes!"

"If you don’t believe me, I’ll tell you the location!"

He casually picked up a twig from the ground and began to draw on the ground.

"Currently, we are at the periphery here, needing to pass through the Wangchuan Swamp, then through the middle of the Soul Calming Mountain Canyon to reach our destination!"

Through the simple map he drew, Chen Nan could see that this journey would definitely be fraught with danger.

Moreover, the place they were headed to was deep within the Southern Marsh, where countless unknown dangers lurked.

But for the Mystic Yin True Water, Chen Nan decided to take the gamble.

Divine Calculator’s injuries slowed them down, and as night fell, they decided to find a dry spot to rest.

"Hopefully, this night will be peaceful and uneventful."

Chen Nan looked at the sky blocked by miasma, a bad premonition lingering in his heart.

"Heh heh, Jue Mingzi, don’t forget to take the Detoxification Pill, one a day." Divine Calculator took out a black bottle and swallowed a pill.

Chen Nan also did the same, except that his bottle had been replaced with his own Detoxification Pills.

Late at night, as if to verify Chen Nan’s premonition, an angry roar suddenly came from afar.

"Little thief, where do you think you can escape now!"

Chen Nan looked up to see a flash of fire appear in the sky, followed by a dense rain of fire descending upon them!

Vaguely, one could see a cultivator standing behind the fire rain.

Chen Nan immediately thought of the gold attribute flower bud he obtained yesterday at the Ghost Market, guessing correctly that it was indeed stolen.

And because it had been refined, the original owner could sense its general location, hence the pursuit.

Chen Nan initially wanted to explain that he hadn’t stolen it, but bought it, and could return the gold attribute flower bud if he got his investment back.

But under the current circumstances, the person wasn’t going to listen to his explanation.

"Damn, daring to disturb the Daoist’s rest? Are you tired of living?"

Divine Calculator, already upset from being attacked by the demon beast earlier, now became furious when they were attacked again.

"Are you crazy?"

Seeing this, Chen Nan couldn’t help but curse silently. The opponent was aggressive, with cultivation far above theirs, yet still acting so arrogantly—did they have a death wish?

"Hey, Daoist brother, hurry up and go!"

He rushed forward and grabbed Divine Calculator’s arm. Behind him, thunder flashed, instantly forming a pair of Thunder Wings, which flapped with a thunderous sound, propelling his body like lightning.

They narrowly avoided the range of the descending fire rain.

"Little thief, where are you running? You stole from Young Master Duobao; even if you flee to the ends of the earth, I will kill you!"

The figure in the air sounded extremely angry, chasing Chen Nan and Divine Calculator, alarming numerous demon beasts in the Great Swamp along the way.

"We can’t keep running like this!"

Chen Nan suddenly stopped, the Thunder Wings behind him dissipating. At this rate, his internal mana would be exhausted, and they would still be caught. Better to spare some mana for a fight.

"Daoist brother, you should go. This matter has nothing to do with you."

Divine Calculator was momentarily stunned, filled with a bit of emotion, as he looked at Chen Nan’s back with a sense of guilt.

"Jue Mingzi, stop saying that. From now on, you’re my good brother!"

Before he could finish, he turned and ran without looking back.

Chen Nan chuckled bitterly; although he anticipated Divine Calculator’s lack of loyalty, he couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed.

Soon, Young Master Duobao caught up, his eyes full of anger as he looked at Chen Nan.

"Little thief, why aren’t you running?"

Chen Nan thought to himself, this was the consequence of his own greed. Had he known it was troublesome, he shouldn’t have gotten involved.

"What if I say I didn’t steal your item? It just happened to fall into my hands."

"Heh," Young Master Duobao let out a cold laugh, "You think I would believe you? Knowing it’s with you is enough; now hand it over!"

Chen Nan extended his hand, fearlessly meeting Young Master Duobao’s gaze, "A thousand low-grade Spirit Stones, you need to return to me."

"You’re insulting me? Mentioning a mere thousand low-grade Spirit Stones?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Young Master Duobao flew into a rage, "Last night outside the Ghost Market, blocking the road like a highwayman, robbing most of the cultivators entering the Ghost Market, was also your doing, wasn’t it?"

"What?"

Chen Nan was genuinely shocked this time because he knew who was responsible.

Last night, Divine Calculator, unwilling to lose to Chen Nan, set up an array outside the Ghost Market but let Chen Nan escape.

Chen Nan never expected Divine Calculator to vent his frustration by robbing other Ghost Market attendees. What audacity!

Now, everything was being blamed on him.

"No need to argue; it’s definitely you. Hand over the item now, and I’ll leave you in one piece!"

Young Master Duobao hovered in the air, his hair fluttering in the wind, with every accessory on him emitting mana waves, not ordinary items.

He looked like a young master from a top family, out experiencing life.

"If I hand it over, you’ll still kill me?"

Young Master Duobao snorted coldly, "Leaving you in one piece is already a mercy!"

Even if Chen Nan wanted to hand over the item to settle the matter, it was no longer an option.

"Then cut the nonsense and see if you can kill me."

"Heh, a mere Fake Pill Cultivator, daring to boast? In this young master’s eyes, you’re just an ant!"

With that, he directly summoned a talisman, pointing at Chen Nan.

"Go!"

The talisman shot towards Chen Nan, burning up midway, bursting into three flaming birds shrieking as they charged at him!

Chen Nan’s pupils contracted, realizing this was at least a Seventh Grade Talisman, worth tens of thousands of Spirit Stones, used so casually.

Such extravagance was inhuman!
