Chapter 132: For the sake of the whole city, sacrifice your beauty
Luo Xue looked at Zhou Xiaoping, the silly girl, with a mixture of amusement and annoyance, but she accepted the storage ring anyway.
She teased Lin Fengmian, “How did you trick this young girl?”
Lin Fengmian immediately shouted in protest, “She’s my friend’s wife, you’re thinking too much.”
Mo Ruyu looked at Zhou Xiaoping’s storage ring and said with a sour tone, “So she’s a noble’s daughter, no wonder she’s so wealthy.”
Having a storage ring in the Foundation Establishment Realm was a clear sign that she was no ordinary person.
Luo Xue understood this deeply. When she opened Zhou Xiaoping’s storage ring, she was surprised by the variety of heavenly treasures and precious materials inside.
This woman must have an important background.
She took out the array formation materials and returned the storage ring.
Xia Yunxi also took out some array formation materials, but they were pitifully few, just enough to contribute.
Mo Ruyu and the others looked at Liu Mei, waiting to see what she would do.
Liu Mei rolled her eyes at them, “Why are you looking at me? If you want to donate, go ahead. I won’t stop you.”
She looked at Lin Fengmian and shook her head, “Who asked you to be my little nemesis? This is all I have, so here you go.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyan didn’t hesitate and immediately took out her materials.
“Just think of it as a contribution to the people of the city.”
Mo Ruyu also took out the few materials she had and sighed, “Ah, times have changed. Even a demoness has to save the world!”
Luo Xue bowed deeply in gratitude, “Thank you all for your help.”
Mo Ruyu chuckled, “I’m not giving it to you for free. You must repay me with your body!”
There was actually a refining cauldron among the things she took out, which made Luo Xue overjoyed.
The only drawback was that she had obtained the furnace through murder and theft, and she couldn’t refine the weapons with it.
Lin Fengmian almost choked on his own blood and quickly said, “Luo Xue, you can’t agree to this!”
Luo Xue, mimicking Lin Fengmian’s manner, awkwardly rubbed her nose and said, “Senior sister, don’t joke like that.
However, Mo Ruyu was serious, “I am serious. After all, I am a Demoness. What do you think?”
Luo Xue looked at the refining furnace on the ground and felt torn. With this furnace, things would be much easier.
“Okay!”
Mo Ruyu’s face lit up with joy, “Great! I’m giving this to you, so don’t forget!”
Lin Fengmian immediately panicked and shouted, “Luo Xue, what are you doing?”
Luo Xue said earnestly, “Lin Fengmian, for the sake of all the people of Ning City, you should sacrifice your appearance. The people of Ning City will remember your kindness.”
Lin Fengmian: “Can I refuse?”
“No!”
As Luo Xue spoke, she looked at the materials on the ground and calculated whether they were sufficient for the alchemy required.
“The amounts of basic materials such as Heavenly Star Sand and Flowing Water Wood are not enough, and the cinnabar for drawing the array diagram is also insufficient.”
These were all very basic materials, but the amounts required were so large that there was still a significant shortage.
Zhou Xiaoping suddenly clapped her hands and said, “I have an idea, if we don’t have enough, we can rob them!”
Luo Xue was puzzled, but Zhou Xiaoping smiled and said, “Master Huanglong and Lu Xun are still being held in the backyard of your house?”
“We can just go and rob them, can’t we?”
Wen Qinlin nodded and said, “That makes sense. In a time of urgency, they should make some contributions. We shouldn’t hesitate; let’s go.”
When Mo Ruyu heard about the robbery, she quickly raised her hand and said, “I’ll go too!”
Lin Fengmian explained the situation with Master Huanglong and the others to Luo Xue, who nodded in agreement.
“Go get them, and while you’re at it, use the Demon Testing Stone to check on Master Huanglong and his disciples to make sure they’re not a problem.”
“Alright!”
Wen Qinlin led Zhou Xiaoping to search for Master Huanglong, leaving Lin Wencheng, his wife, and Xia Yunxi in the courtyard.
Lin Wencheng asked, “Fengmian, what can we do?”
Lin Fengmian regained control of his body and looked at his parents and said, “Father, Mother, we need to set up an array at the City Lord’s residence. Go and have Uncle Zhao prepare everything.”
The City Lord’s residence was chosen because it was in the center of Ning City, so the array could cover the entire city, making it the best place for the ritual.
Seeing that Lin Wencheng and the others were about to leave, Lin Fengmian quickly said to Liu Mei, “Senior Sister Liu, Sister Mo, please accompany them and use the Demon Testing Stone to check everyone in the City Lord’s residence. Pay special attention to the person I asked you to watch.”
Liu Mei and Mo Ruyu nodded in agreement and hurriedly followed Lin Wencheng and the others.
Xia Yunxi and Chen Qingyan stayed in the courtyard. Xia Yunxi looked at him curiously and asked, “What should we do?”
Luo Xue calmly said, “You two should focus on meditating and adjust your state to the best. You will be needed soon.”
She kept them around because they both knew the abilities of the Demon Emperor Technique. The fewer people who knew about it, the better.
Understanding clearly, the two women nodded and sat down to meditate.
After everything was arranged, Luo Xue quickly consumed some Spirit Restoration Pills, took out a jade scroll, and inscribed the Seven Stars Accompanying the Moon array diagram.
In the backyard, Zhou Xiaoping and Wen Qinlin were walking.
“Senior Sister, are we just going to watch this?” Zhou Xiaoping asked hesitantly.
“What do you want to do?” Wen Qinlin countered.
“Should we call the guardian?” Zhou Xiaoping said seriously.
Wen Qinlin hesitated. Given their status, it was impossible for them to go out without any protection.
After all, even someone like Qin Haoxuan, who was a distant relative and a commoner, had Old Xie following him. How much more so for the two of them?
Wen Qinlin was indeed protecting Zhou Xiaoping, but they both knew that the family wouldn’t be that careless. There must be a guardian who secretly watches over them.
“Then why don’t you try to call them out?” Wen Qinlin also didn’t want the innocent civilians in the city to be affected.
Zhou Xiaoping immediately called out to the surrounding area, “Hey, whoever is hiding there, stop being so secretive and come out! This princess has something to discuss with you!”
But there was no response, and she couldn’t help but scratch her head. “Could it be that Father and the others really trust me so much?”
It didn’t make sense. Hadn’t she always been the apple of their eye?
Could it be that Father and Mother had secretly given birth to a younger brother or sister and no longer wanted her?
“Senior sister, why don’t you try to call your clan’s guardian?”
Wen Qinlin said helplessly, “Forget it, he won’t come out until I’m dead.”
Zhou Xiaoping couldn’t help but feel depressed and said, “Senior Sister, your family is really messed up!”
High above Ning City, an old man grinned at the rugged man across from him, “Wen Ting, your young miss really understands you well.”
The bearded man took a sip from his wine bottle and smiled, “Our Wen family has always been like this. All we care about is not dying. Missing an arm or a leg is a minor matter.”
The old man laughed out loud, “Really messed up. I’ll learn from you once and let this fearless and reckless girl get a taste of life’s harshness.”
