Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 336: Not very harmful, extremely insulting!

At the foot of Heavenly Charm Mountain.

"Big Brother, are we just going up like this?" Seeing that Ning Xuan had no intention of stopping, Shentu Yi couldn't help but ask.

Ning Xuan looked back in surprise and retorted, "What else would we do?"

The corner of Shentu Yi's mouth twitched. "Uh, Big Brother, did you hear what I said earlier?"

"You've been chattering away this whole time. Which part are you talking about?"

Shentu Yi could only repeat the important points. "The Palace Master of the Heavenly Charm Palace is from the Fox Clan and was born with seven tails. Her strength is comparable to that of a Human Honorable, not to mention she is especially skilled in Charm Techniques!"

"Oh."

Ning Xuan's reaction drove Shentu Yi to the brink of madness.

A Human Honorable! Their Palace Master is a Human Honorable!

Moreover, the Heavenly Charm Palace was filled with members of the Fox Clan, and who knew how many powerful experts they had already enthralled.

How is going up like this any different from seeking death?!

"Big Brother, I know you're anxious to save someone, but we need to think about this long-term!" Shentu Yi urged.

At the same time, a thought crossed his mind that he didn't dare voice. Big Brother, do you really think you're the protagonist of a novel, protected by some kind of hero's halo?

Of course, Ning Xuan didn't think he was a protagonist. His audacity wasn't entirely due to his eagerness to save someone. It was because he had a trump card.

The South Ming Li Fire!

His cultivation wasn't the only thing he had improved. Although, strictly speaking, the South Ming Li Fire had never been used against an enemy, Ning Xuan had never stopped refining and evolving it. The flame had now evolved from its initial crimson red into the Five-Colored Cloud Flame!

Once unleashed, even a Human Honorable would rue the day.

With a trump card like this, who wouldn't be confident?!

Naturally, Ning Xuan felt no need to inform Shentu Yi.

"Don't worry about it. You can leave first. Find a place to cultivate, then go to the Jiao King's residence and wait for me." Ning Xuan hadn't forgotten Shentu Yi's use and intended to put him to good use.

"Big Brother, what kind of talk is that! Am I, Shentu Yi, some coward who clings to life and fears death? Let's go! I'll go up there with you!"

Not wanting to be looked down upon by Ning Xuan, Shentu Yi gritted his teeth and declared boldly.

"Alright then. Stick close to me," Ning Xuan said before stepping forward.

Behind him, Shentu Yi gritted his teeth and hurried to keep up. At the same time, he began to refine the energy of the Black Element Crystal Stone again. For some reason, his refinement speed had increased significantly along the way. He hadn't been able to resist asking Ning Xuan if he was helping, but Ning Xuan had flatly denied it.

Shentu Yi figured that made sense. If Ning Xuan really were helping, there would be no reason to deny it. Heeding Ning Xuan's advice, he stopped worrying about the cause and focused solely on refining the energy.

The results were astonishing. Just a short while ago, he had recovered his strength to the King Realm!

Now, as he started refining again, Shentu Yi immediately noticed that the speed had increased even further.

Damn, could it be because of this Heavenly Charm Mountain?!

The higher they climbed, the faster his refinement speed became, leaving Shentu Yi utterly convinced. Unfortunately, walking behind, he couldn't possibly see the faint smile on Ning Xuan's lips up ahead.

After holding back for a long while, Shentu Yi, who had just been cautioning Ning Xuan, could no longer restrain himself and urged, "Big Brother, can you go any faster?"

We haven't even reached the halfway point, and the refining speed is already more than double what it was! If I get to the summit, won't my cultivation just take off?!

Shentu Yi couldn't bear to wait another moment.

As Ning Xuan turned back with a quizzical look, Shentu Yi shot past him with a WHOOSH and vanished from sight.

The energy within the Black Element Crystal Stone was still abundant. At this rate, by the time he reached the summit, his cultivation would be restored to its peak!

By then, even if I can't win, I'll be able to escape with ease!

For a moment, Shentu Yi was brimming with confidence.

As he forged ahead, Shentu Yi soon encountered disciples of the Heavenly Charm Palace. He noticed something was very wrong with their condition, but he was too busy refining the Crystal Stone's energy to pay them any mind.

Behind him, Ning Xuan wore a puzzled expression. All these fox spirits had taken human form and looked quite beautiful, but why did every single one of them have a vacant gaze, like puppets on a string?

He continued forward. By the time he reached the massive plaza before the main gate of the Heavenly Charm Palace, he still hadn't encountered a single normal person.

"Big Brother, what's wrong with them?" Shentu Yi, who had arrived first, asked in confusion as soon as Ning Xuan appeared. This was completely different from what he had expected.

Just as Ning Xuan was about to speak, his eyes lifted, and a smile spread across his face.

The next moment, the void before them split open, and Wawa appeared.

"Yay, Junior Brother!" she cried out joyfully, latching onto Ning Xuan like a koala.

Shock flashed in Shentu Yi's eyes before he quickly turned his head away. This isn't something I should be watching! If I offend her, I'll be in for a world of hurt!

"Senior Sister, are you alright?" Ning Xuan asked, finally managing to pry her off him with great effort.

At his words, Wawa's delicate pink lips immediately jutted out in a pout.

"What's wrong?" Ning Xuan asked with concern.

"Junior Brother, the sisters here are so stingy! They wouldn't let me learn their skills!" Wawa complained, waving her little fists in protest.

"It's alright. Senior Sister is so smart, you can just teach yourself if they won't teach you."

Wawa giggled. "You're the smart one, Junior Brother!"

An idea suddenly flashed in his mind. Ning Xuan pointed to the listless figures in the distance and asked, "So, these are all your handiwork?"

Wawa nodded eagerly, like a chick pecking at grain.

From the side, Shentu Yi couldn't help but ask, "What skill did you learn?"

"The Heavenly Fragrance Charm Technique."

THUD!

Shentu Yi dropped to his knees. On the way here, he had specifically looked into the Heavenly Charm Palace. The Heavenly Fragrance Charm Technique was the method those fox spirits used to seduce male creatures! It was said to have never failed!

"You… you used the Heavenly Fragrance Charm Technique on the fox spirits of the Heavenly Charm Palace?" Shentu Yi's mind struggled to process this.

"Yeah, yeah! Is that a problem?" Wawa replied, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Shentu Yi was rendered speechless.

The Heavenly Fragrance Charm Technique is meant to be used on males. Probably only a being like her would have the crazy idea to use it on the fox spirits themselves. And she actually succeeded! This is completely ridiculous! Can females be captivated by a Charm Technique? And it was their own technique, no less!

As if guessing Shentu Yi's thoughts, Wawa lifted her chin and gave a haughty snort.

Just as she turned her head, she suddenly remembered who Shentu Yi was.

"Didn't I sell you? How did you get here?"

Without waiting for a response, she immediately presented a package to Ning Xuan like a priceless treasure, her tone fishing for compliments.

"Junior Brother, look! This is the first business deal I made after arriving here. I earned a whole ten thousand Divine Crystals!"

As her voice fell, her long eyelashes fluttered over her beautiful eyes, as if to say, Praise me! Praise me!

Nearby, Shentu Yi looked utterly mortified.

Wawa's actions weren't physically damaging, but they were deeply insulting.
