Chapter 248 - Jealousy"Xiang Yun, I"m leaving!"
Hearing Luo Ning"s words, the originally slightly nervous Xiang Yun"s heart suddenly shook. The pressure that the Silver Dragon had originally exerted was now completely unconscious for an instant.
He stared straight at the extremely familiar face before him. Xiang Yun was silent for a long time before he finally spoke."En!"
It was just a single word. He grinned bitterly!
Xiang Yun had already expected that Luo Ning"s family background would be extraordinary, but he hadn"t expected it to reach such a terrifying level. The mount that they had sent to pick up Luo Ning was actually a Silver Dragon that was comparable to a Sky Cloud martial artist!
Only now did Xiang Yun know that the things that Luo Ning had revealed back then, whether it was her treasures or her cultivation, were just the tip of the iceberg.
Although he was a member of the royal family of a common dynasty, compared to Luo Ning, the difference in status was like heaven and earth!He knew that this banquet would never end. He also thought about what kind of natural words to say when he parted with Luo Ning. Only then would he be able to show that he wasn"t so ashamed of his appearance or that he wasn"t so inferior to others!
However, when the truth became beyond his imagination and had truly appeared, Xiang Yun realized that these bold and carefree words seemed even more laughable. Therefore, he could only say the word "yea"!
One word, a mix of flavors
As if sensing Xiang Yun"s current state of mind, Luo Ning, who had previously been wearing an indifferent expression when facing Gu Ming, now had a moving smile on her face as she smiled at the young man before her!
"What, you saw my background, and you"re scaring this high and mighty Crown Prince?"Because of Luo Ning"s words, the originally awkward atmosphere immediately became less awkward. Because of this, Xiang Yun emerged from his complicated state of mind. Looking at the Luo Ning who had become more familiar with him, he scratched his head and laughed bitterly.
"I am a bit surprised. The brothers that have been walking along the road have first become great beauties, then great rich women."
"Humph, I"ll accept the name "beautiful lady". What rich lady, if you dare to call her by that name again, be careful of my sword, it will cause your heart to turn cold!"
Luo Ning opened her mouth, revealing an appearance as if she was eating a human. Her white, jade-like teeth revealed two small canines, causing this beautiful, otherworldly woman to have a somewhat cute and innocent look. Xiang Yun couldn"t help but be stunned!
Xiang Yun wasn"t the only one in a daze. Gu Ming, who was looking down at the flood dragon, had a lifeless expression on his face. He and Luo Ning had grown up together, so they could just barely be considered childhood friends.
Such a close relationship, yet Gu Ming had never seen such an expression on Luo Ning"s face before. She spoke to him in such a tone. For a moment, she even suspected that she was hallucinating!
How could Luo Ning possibly chat and laugh with such an insignificant brat?
At this moment, Luo Ning and Xiang Yun were chatting and joking again, and the atmosphere became a lot more harmonious.
Luo Ning suddenly waved the storage ring in her hand, and a black cloth sack appeared in her hand. She extended her hand and handed it over to Xiang Yun.
"This is for me?" Xiang Yun asked with a puzzled expression.
"Yes." Luo Ning nodded!
Xiang Yun hesitated for a moment, but just as he was about to open the bag, it was Luo Ning who reached out and placed her hand on the back of Xiang Yun"s hand. She gently shook her head at him.
"You should open it when you get back."
In midair, he saw Luo Ning"s hand actually rest on the back of Xiang Yun"s hand. Gu Ming"s originally haughty and indifferent expression turned into one of shock.
It turned extremely gloomy in an instant!
"How is this possible!"
He wanted to be strong and despise and loathe men. Not to mention being close with a man, even saying a few words was impossible, and this was one of the reasons why Gu Ming was so persistent and got Luo Ning.
Which man wouldn"t want to subdue such a haughty and proud woman? Who would want to see her smile and treat the whole world coldly?
But now, this woman, whom he was determined to get, actually had a physical relationship with another man.This made it difficult for Gu Ming to remain calm. He felt a surge of jealousy in his chest, and the Cloud Power in his dantian instantly surged like boiling water. He wanted nothing more than to wave his palm and kill this ant in front of him!
However, he could not do this, at least not in front of Luo Ning. Gu Ming could only suppress the anger in his heart as he coldly stared at Xiang Yun.
At this moment, Xiang Yun felt an ice-cold, slippery feeling on the back of his hand. His heart moved slightly, and he couldn"t help but feel a little warm as he looked at Luo Ning.
Luo Ning seemed to have sensed the subtle changes and changes in Xiang Yun"s gaze. It was only then that she realized something and hurriedly tried to withdraw her hand.
However, just as her hand was about to leave the back of Xiang Yun"s hand, Xiang Yun suddenly turned around and grabbed Luo Ning"s hand!Their two hands were once again tightly entwined as their bodies trembled. Their eyes met, and for a moment, the atmosphere was somewhat charming!
"You …" Luo Ning froze for a moment, her delicate body stiff and still. She did not continue to pull out her palm, allowing Xiang Yun to hold it in her hand!
Old Liang, who was standing to one side, shot a glance over. He secretly gave Xiang Yun a thumbs up before turning his head away naturally, looking up at the starry sky in broad daylight …
"Luo Ning, will I see you again from now on?"
Xiang Yun tightly gripped onto Luo Ning"s palm, his eyes staring straight at her as he asked her this question with extreme seriousness!
Luo Ning stared blankly at him for some time before she finally turned to look at the black bag in Xiang Yun"s hand!
Xiang Yun"s heart skipped a beat as he seemed to understand Luo Ning"s meaning. Finally, he slowly released Luo Ning"s hand.
After a long silence, Luo Ning was the first to speak, "Xiang Yun, you must cultivate properly from now on. Although your talent is poor, I believe that the heavens will reward you with hard work. As long as you work hard, you"ll definitely be able to achieve something. I believe in you!""Yes, I will!" Xiang Yun nodded without the slightest hesitation.
"That"s good!"
"Goodbye and take care!"
In the end, they still had to depart. Even if they had traveled a thousand li of the mountains or traveled ten thousand li of the road, they would cross countless valleys and rivers and eventually disperse.
Luo Ning had arrived like a cool breeze, and now that she was riding the wind, the Silver Dragon flew up into the sky!
Xiang Yun raised his head, staring at the Silver Dragon as it soared up into the sky, his eyes in a trance. At this moment, a bone-piercing, ice-cold voice rang out from within Xiang Yun"s heart pot!
"Brat, I don"t care who you are. From today onwards, you"d better give up on all thoughts. Don"t even think about eating the swan meat with a toad. Ning"er is not an ant to be touched by!"
Xiang Yun could naturally hear this voice. It came from the golden-robed man riding the Silver Dragon. This person looked at Luo Ning with affection in his eyes. Xiang Yun could clearly see what he was thinking.Facing this person"s threat, if it was anyone else, even if they didn"t immediately retreat and admit their mistake, at most, they would just stay silent and restore some of their dignity.
However, he was Xiang Yun. His temper wasn"t too good, and he was a little stubborn. Furthermore, he had received modern education in the twenty-first century. His Highness, the Crown Prince!
"Why!"Xiang Yun replied to the youth with three simple words inside the pot of hearts!
On the other side of the pot was a youth named Gu Ming. He did not speak for a long time, and after muttering to himself for a long time, he actually choked on Xiang Yun"s answer!"Heh heh."
After a long while, Gu Ming sneered evilly, and continued to send a sound transmission to his heart, "On what basis, with your lowly birth and low status, you don"t deserve to have anything to do with us. If you overestimate yourself and want to shake a big tree with your mayfly, the final result might be something you cannot imagine and endure!"
Hearing this, Xiang Yun did not get angry, instead smiling, "Hearing you say this, I really want to give it a try!"
"You"re courting death!"
At the same time, in the void above where Gu Ming had been standing earlier.
Suddenly, s.p.a.ce distorted, and a thick white flame shot out like a meteor falling to the ground, instantly enveloping Xiang Yun!
In that instant, Xiang Yun felt a terrifying wave of heat spread throughout his body, a threat of death enveloping his heart!
Xiang Yun only felt that this wave of energy was ma.s.sive and scorching, completely exceeding the scope that he could defend against, and actually causing him to feel a sense of powerlessness!Just as the ball of white flame was about to land on Xiang Yun"s head, old Liang who was to the side suddenly opened the cork of the wine gourd at his waist. Facing the ball of white flame, the old man stood with his hands on his waist and waved.
"Come on, come on!"
It was like the tortoise p.u.s.s.y in front of a brothel. Old Liang put his hands on his hips and howled a few times. That ball of white flame seemed to have been attracted by an invisible force and instantly changed its direction, disappearing into Old Liang"s wine gourd!The moment the flame entered the gourd, Old Liang quickly sealed it and shook the wine in the gourd.
"Aiyo, it"s actually a good thing like the White Bone Coldflame. It"s really like providing charcoal during a snowstorm. I was just worrying about the Mountain and River Seal, it"s not easy to repair. With this flame, I can repair it in less than a month."
"Thank you, little brother!" Old Liang proudly shouted in the direction in which the silver dragon had fled.On top of the silver dragon stood Gu Ming, who was standing behind Luo Ning. His originally grave and stern face was now strangely flushed red.
"What!"Gu Ming"s face turned pale with fright. He had never thought that the Pill Fire and a wisp of spiritual will that he painstakingly cultivated would be instantly absorbed by that sloppy-looking old man!
He hurriedly recalled the flame with his mind, but suddenly felt a terrifying sharpness envelop that wisp of consciousness. Immediately, that wisp of consciousness vanished into thin air and he lost control of that Pill Fire!
In an instant, he had lost more than ten percent of his pill fire. Gu Ming"s aura immediately became chaotic and his dantian felt a sharp pain. With a venomous expression on his face, he looked behind him at a certain location on the ground.
"d.a.m.ned commoner! How dare you steal my Pill Fire!? I"ll destroy your soul bones!"
Up ahead, Luo Ning, who had her back to Gu Ming, turned around without any warning. She coldly looked at Gu Ming, her voice as cold as a knife.
"That little trick of yours can"t be fooled. This time around, it is a small punishment. If you still dare to take revenge, I will let you know what regret is. Even Master Yao Xuan will not be able to protect you!"
Gu Ming"s originally extremely ugly face instantly paled!
Luo Ning was well aware of the pill fire he had just buried in the void. She didn"t reveal it on purpose, but wanted to make him suffer a lot!Gu Ming didn"t dare to ignore Luo Ning"s warning. Even though Luo Ning was just a woman, she had never broken her promise to protect that young man!
All of a sudden, Gu Ming"s face turned purple as if he was stealing chicken food. The anger and jealousy in his heart were almost enough to burn him down!
"Good boy, I, Gu Ming, will repay you today"s grudge a hundred to a thousand times. I will let you know what regret is!"
Gu Ming shot a sidelong glance at Luo Ning"s back, his eyes once again revealing a burning desire!
"Luo Ning, I, Gu Ming, swear that I"ll get you. Strip your proud daughter of heaven and throw her onto the bed. I want to see just how much arrogance and pride you still have when the time comes!"
