Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 116: Scared the hell out of me! This kid is asking for it, isn’t he?
In Bi Luo Palace, Mo Ji was so shocked at the sight of the nonchalant Ning Xuan and the excited Wawa that he was rendered speechless.
What the hell, Little Uncle-Master is too brutal! My heart can’t take it!
Wu Pianpian’s reaction, however, was different from an ordinary person’s.
Upon seeing Ning Xuan, she moved in a flash, her arm already draped over his shoulder. "Little Junior Brother," she asked excitedly, "hurry and tell your Senior Sister how you did it?!"
Her shoulder was soft and warm, and her fragrant breath tickled his ear. Ning Xuan found it a bit overwhelming. He tried to pull away, but Wu Pianpian held on tight, leaving him no choice but to give up.
"Actually, it wasn’t as incredible as they’re making it out to be. It was mainly because Senior Sister Wawa and I cooperated well, and I didn’t confront a King Realm expert head-on. That’s how I got lucky."
Ning Xuan directly gave Wawa the credit.
Wawa nodded repeatedly. "Yeah! I was amazing! Giggle... they were so clueless..."
Wawa then began to vividly recount her heroic deeds, gesturing wildly.
"Damn it! What a huge loss! Why didn’t I think of that before!"
Wu Pianpian’s beautiful eyes twinkled. A moment later, she slapped Ning Xuan on the shoulder.
Ning Xuan was smacked right into his seat, grimacing in pain. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
He couldn’t help but be inwardly alarmed. This new senior sister of his possesses terrifying strength!
First, there was Senior Sister Wawa, and now Wu Pianpian. Both of them were so strong that Ning Xuan suddenly felt the pressure multiply.
Without hesitation, he immediately dumped out all the loot he had gathered.
The room was quite large, but it was almost filled to the brim. It was a true mountain of treasure!
"Do you dare to accept these things?" Ning Xuan asked Wu Pianpian.
"Little Ji Ji, I’m leaving this to you. Junior Brother, let’s go have a drink!"
Wu Pianpian looped an arm around Ning Xuan, grabbed Wawa with her other hand, and entered another room through a side door.
Mo Ji glanced at the dazzling array of treasures. Recalling Wu Pianpian’s earlier words, he couldn’t help but let out a wry smile. Little Uncle-Master doesn’t need our Bi Luo Palace’s help at all. He’s the biggest tycoon himself!
He immediately got to work calculating and categorizing the various treasures.
「An hour later.」
A knock rang out, and Mo Ji’s voice came from outside.
Ning Xuan quickly excused himself. Wu Pianpian could really fucking drink! If Mo Ji had come any later, she would have tried to become his sworn sister!
"Little Uncle-Master, I’ve sorted everything. Would you like to see which items you want to keep for yourself?"
Looking at the neatly arranged treasures, Ning Xuan chose the Element Crystals, Elixirs, and the Spiritual Medicines and Strange Herbs. As for the rest, he had no need for them.
"Alright, convert the rest into Element Crystals for me. I’m in desperate need of Element Crystals right now."
Mo Ji quickly produced an item. "Little Uncle-Master, then you should find this useful as well."
It looked similar to an Element Crystal, but as soon as Ning Xuan held it, his eyes lit up. The energy it contained was countless times greater than that of an Element Crystal!
"This is a Heavenly Crystal. One Heavenly Crystal can be exchanged for ten thousand Element Crystals."
As Mo Ji spoke, he opened a box. "While I was sorting, I found a total of twenty boxes, each containing ten thousand Heavenly Crystals."
Ning Xuan immediately asked, "Does our Bi Luo Palace also have Heavenly Crystals?"
"Yes, we do."
"Good! Then convert all these items into Heavenly Crystals for me!"
Heavenly Crystals, as the name suggested, were obtained by refining Heavenly Grade Element Vein ore. Eighth Grade and Ninth Grade Element Veins could also be refined to produce them.
Ning Xuan had just been grumbling about the Element Crystals taking up too much space in his Storage Ring. Now, with Heavenly Crystals, this was definitely a joyous occasion.
More importantly, after advancing to the Human Realm, his need for energy had become much greater. Heavenly Crystals could perfectly solve this problem.
"Little Uncle-Master, Heavenly Crystals are extremely rare. I just checked, and we only have two million on hand at the moment. Please take them all first. We’ll make up the rest for you later."
Ning Xuan readily agreed. "Alright."
"Xiao Xuan Zi, I’m older than you, so I..." Wu Pianpian’s shouting interrupted them.
At this moment, Mo Ji pretended to be deaf.
Ning Xuan’s mouth twitched. He decided to take his leave immediately.
The Martial God Temple and Star Moon Pavilion would never have expected them to dare return to the Capital. Once they realized what had happened, Bi Luo Palace would likely become their primary target. He didn’t want to bring trouble to Bi Luo Palace, even though the palace itself probably wasn’t afraid.
However, before Ning Xuan could even say his goodbyes, a clamor erupted outside.
"Where’s your manager? Tell him to get out here and see me!"
Ning Xuan could hear the voice clearly from where he stood. It was Xing Zhao!
Mo Ji nodded at Ning Xuan, signaling him not to worry, and then left. Soon after, Ning Xuan could hear their conversation.
"Manager Mo, hand over Ning Xuan, or I will flatten your Bi Luo Palace!"
That was Yan Linghua’s voice. She had come along too.
"To be honest, Young Master Ning did indeed visit. However, you’ve come too late; he has already left. By the way, he brought many items with him. If you two are interested, you can start raising funds. Our Bi Luo Palace is preparing for an auction tomorrow."
Mo Ji admitted it freely, showing no fear of the pair. On any other day, he might have had to feign politeness, but now, he was utterly fearless. His courage didn’t stem from Ning Xuan’s feat of destroying two major powers single-handedly, but from Wu Pianpian’s backing. Wu Pianpian was fearless by nature, and when she was drunk, she became an absolutely lawless force.
"Mo Ji, you’re insolent!"
"Does Bi Luo Palace truly want to make an enemy of two top-tier powers?!"
Both Xing Zhao and Yan Linghua were furious.
Mo Ji’s laughter rang out. "Top-tier powers? Are you sure about that?"
The two’s expressions changed. There were some things that only those at their level would know.
"Hmph! So, Bi Luo Palace intends to harbor Ning Xuan?!" Xing Zhao snorted, refusing to get sidetracked by the issue.
"As I said, he has already left. My Bi Luo Palace is open for business. We accept goods from anyone; we have no reason to turn away a customer," Mo Ji remained firm.
"Whether he’s gone or not isn’t for you to decide! Men, search the place!"
With a wave of Xing Zhao’s hand, the experts from the Martial God Temple and Star Moon Pavilion moved as one.
"You dare!"
Following Mo Ji’s low shout, several mechanical beasts suddenly appeared at the entrance. They held all sorts of weapons, including firearms!
RUMBLE—
The entire Bi Luo Palace began to shake. Openings appeared in the walls, and from them extended hundreds of cannons, their dark muzzles aimed right at them.
Even the King Realm experts’ faces changed color.
Bi Luo Palace’s Mechanical Techniques were unparalleled in the world; they could even turn Martial Arts powerhouses into Puppet Warriors. Legends said that a being who had surpassed the King Realm was turned into a puppet, and now it seemed those legends were most likely true!
Suddenly, Xing Zhao attacked.
A spear formed from Element Qi shot through the air, aimed straight at Mo Ji!
Mo Ji just smiled, completely unfazed.
My martial aunt is here. There’s no need to worry about my safety.
But in the end, it wasn’t Wu Pianpian who saved him—it was a mechanical beast!
Staring at the spear tip just inches from his face, Mo Ji felt his blood run cold!
This martial aunt of mine... she’s so unreliable!
"Holy shit, what the hell was that?! Scared the life out of me! That bastard must have a death wish!"
Wu Pianpian’s reaction time was absurdly long. Only then did she finally realize what had happened, and with a string of curses, she vanished.
