Chapter 1339: Green Ikemen
2333 went to check what was going on, so Ning Shu leaned against a tree with a bright red fruit hanging from it and waited.
Ning Shu rolled her eyes. This was a watercloud fruit which had the effect of cleansing the marrows and reforming the bones.
Ning Shu didn’t want to pick it up. Then, she saw a blade of grass that looked a lot like a Ningpo figwort shaking in front of her.
Ning Shu: …
Ning Shu straightforwardly closed her eyes and asked, “How is the investigation going?”
2333 said, “I’ve checked. This world is very normal. No other task takers have encountered your situation.”
Good things were simply jumping into her arms.
Ning Shu: …
Her heart was so tired.
Ning Shu stood up and patted the dust off her butt. She was too lazy to take either the watercloud fruit above her head or the Ningpo figwort on the ground.
She’d leave it for other people who were destined for these.
The space storage bag that Lord Qing Hua had given her couldn’t fit anything else, which meant that these things were simply not fated for her.
Celestial treasures only formed after many, many years. She had already gotten so many. She couldn’t take any more.
And Ning Shu found it very strange. This situation was just too strange.
What if it was a trap?
She couldn’t be greedy.
It was fine if her cultivation speed was unbelievably good. But getting good things wherever she went, that was clearly the special protagonist treatment.
How could it be her turn to get this treatment?
Ning Shu was too lazy to fight beasts and she didn’t even spare a glance for the good things she came across on the way. Whenever she arrived at a small town, she exchanged some of the treasures for spirit stones and got herself a few changes of clothes.
After walking for a long time, she finally arrived at the Mystery Spiritual Mountains. From afar, the Mystery Spiritual Mountains seemed to be shrouded in smoke.
Not far from the mountains was a small town. This town was very prosperous. Ning Shu hadn’t had a warm meal in a long time.
She was ready to go to a restaurant to eat something.
There were all kinds of demonic beast meat being served in the restaurant. They also used all sorts of cooking methods, like stir-frying, steaming, and deep-frying, which made the meat of the demonic beasts taste quite good. In addition, this meat contained some spiritual energy, which allowed it to nourish and strengthen a cultivator’s body.
In this world, the strong preyed on the weak. The human race detested the demon race that devoured the essence of humans, but they still ate demonic beasts all the same.
The strong were respected. Only the strong could control their own fates and avoid becoming a stepping stone for others.
Ning Shu walked into the restaurant and ordered some dishes. Then, she waited for the waiter to serve them.
The restaurant had quite a few cultivators, so Ning Shu didn’t dare let her gaze stray here and there. She couldn’t be wantonly sizing up people here.
The cultivation world was full of cruelty. Some cultivators had strange tempers. A mere glance or a sentence was enough to provoke them to fight.
If someone had good things on them, then they might as well wait to be killed and looted for their treasures.
She had just come in, but she could feel several spirit consciousnesses sweep across her before quickly retracting.
Ning Shu felt that someone was constantly staring at her. She followed the sensation of the gaze and turned around to look at the person who was staring at her.
When she saw the person, she was taken aback for a moment.
This person had dark green hair and wore green clothes. He sat on the bench and met her gaze. His eyes were a faint, gleaming blue.
He looked very good, but his aesthetic was a little strange. Both his hair and clothes were also green.
It was too green, making it a bit weird to look at.
The problem was that this person was clearly not a human. But a demon wouldn’t act like him either. Could it be that he was a demonic beast who had managed to cultivate a human form?
When did demonic beasts get this kind of intelligence? Weren’t demonic beasts supposed to be a stupid and ignorant bunch? How could they mix in and live with the humans like this?
There was a demonic beast sitting there, but these cultivators all seemed to ignore him without any intention of attacking him
There was no one sitting around him. It was obvious that no one wanted to get near him.
When Ning Shu saw that this person was constantly staring at her without budging, she started bemoaning her fate. Only the female lead could attract beautiful men.
Could it be that adding six points to charm would immediately attract the attention of beautiful men?
Then how come she didn’t see her IQ increasing by leaps and bounds even though she had added so many points to intelligence?
Ning Shu secretly touched her storage space bag. Could it be that he had found out about the many treasures in her bag?
He wanted to kill her to loot her treasures?
Once the dishes were served, Ning Shu picked up her chopsticks to eat. She felt extremely anxious seeing that this person’s gaze wasn’t moving an inch from her body.
What the hell were you looking at!?
Ning Shu cursed endlessly in her heart.
