Chapter 146 - Chapter 146 Rejecting Meng Ruoqi

Ning Fa's lips curved into a smile.

As for the pressure from the Chang Kong Alliance, that was no longer his concern.

After all, the Foundation Establishment elders of his family were there to handle it.

Besides, it was still debatable whether the Chang Kong Alliance would dare to cause trouble for the Ning Family.

At this moment, the team of golden-armored guards who had gone out earlier rushed back.

But by then, the deed was done.

The tower-like guard captain, who had been furious and reckless, wanting to fight to the death with his subordinates, was desperately held back by Huang Shuheng and the others.

After some unknown words were exchanged, the captain was eventually made to sign a spirit contract.

Thus, the Huang Family's affairs were resolved perfectly.

Ning Fa was quite satisfied.

His battle with Shi Shaoyang of the Cloud Lotus Sword had been crucial in subduing the Huang Family without bloodshed.

The strength he displayed, clearly superior to Shi Shaoyang's, had directly intimidated the Huang Family members.

It made them afraid to fight them to the death.

He smiled at the Huang Family members and said, "Fellow Daoists of the Huang Family, there's no need to be so dejected. From now on, your Huang Family will also enjoy the protection of our Ning Family. Our Ning Family's deterrent power should be no weaker than the Chang Kong Alliance's. I believe those Calamity Cultivators will not dare to easily invade your family again."

Huang Shuheng gave a wry smile. It was, after all, good news.

At this moment, Ning Fa looked at the three people from the Meng Family beside him.

He smiled and asked, "Fairy Meng, are you visiting the Huang Family also for this Blood Fang Rice?"

Meng Ruoqi's beautiful face showed a charming wry smile, and she said softly, "Originally, yes, but it seems I'll be returning empty-handed now."

After speaking, her beautiful eyes stared at Ning Fa, seemingly with a hidden meaning.

Ning Fa nodded and directly said, "Fairy Meng, rest assured. I will speak with Patriarch Huang and ask them to give you some of the remaining thirty percent of the Blood Fang Rice in the future."

Meng Ruoqi's expression froze, and her beautiful eyes widened slightly.

She felt Ning Fa's uniqueness once again.

Based on her experience since childhood, shouldn't Ning Fa, out of consideration for her, give her some Blood Fang Rice now?

Just like Shi Shaoyang from the Chang Kong Alliance before.

This Ning Fa... why wasn't he playing by the usual rules?

Ning Yuwen, standing behind Ning Fa, glanced at Ning Fa strangely.

He was a notorious womanizer and believed that he could never be so rational in front of a beauty like Meng Ruoqi.

Meng Ruoqi looked deeply at Ning Fa and said gently, "Then I must thank Young Master Ning for his kindness. Since that is the case, we should take our leave."

Although her words were calm, they clearly carried a hint of distance.

Ning Fa nodded with a smile, completely unfazed.

Just then, the sound of breaking air could be heard.

Everyone looked up.

They saw several flying ships of various shapes and sizes rapidly approaching.

Different banners were hung on the flying ships.

Ning Fa swept his gaze over them and then showed a half-smile.

Shortly after, dozens of cultivators landed on Bright Yellow Island.

They wore robes of three different colors, representing the rescue cultivators from the Wei Family, Feng Family, and Bai Family.

These three families, like the Huang Family, produced some special spiritual items.

Previously, the Huang Family Patriarch, Huang Shuheng, had contacted these families to form a close alliance for mutual defense.

The leading cultivator among these rescue teams, a burly middle-aged man with wine-red hair and beard, was startled when he saw the situation on the scene.

He hesitated and asked, "Fellow Daoist Huang, are these people those Calamity Cultivators!?"

The Huang Family members exchanged glances, all showing wry smiles.

If these people had arrived a little earlier, perhaps they wouldn't have surrendered so readily.

But now that the spirit contract had been signed, it was too late to say anything.

After Huang Shuheng awkwardly explained the situation, the red-haired cultivator and the cultivators from the other three families showed expressions of shock and anger.

Feeling a sense of shared misfortune.

If the Huang Family could be suddenly attacked and forced to submit by the Ning Family today, then their families could face the same fate.

Immediately, the cultivators from the three families, led by the red-haired cultivator, looked at the Ning Family cultivators with unfriendly expressions.

Ning Fa, however, was completely unfazed.

He looked at the red-haired cultivator and snorted coldly, "What, do you have any advice regarding my Ning Family's actions?"

The red-haired cultivator's eyes flashed with anger, but he didn't dare to make a move.

After all, the Ning Family's notorious reputation was widespread around Thousand Wave Lake.

And today's actions by the Ning Family had awakened everyone's memories.

These three families were, after all, just minor families. Even combined, they couldn't even reach the Ning Family's knees.

The current situation could only be described as "let the poor die, not the rich."

With that thought, the red-haired cultivator calmly led the cultivators from the three families in a retreat.

The three members of the Meng Family also prepared to leave.

Before Meng Ruoqi departed, her eyes flickered, and then she lightly raised her jade-like hand, tossing a jade slip carved with a green bamboo onto it towards Ning Fa.

Her gentle voice carried, "In three months, it will be our Meng Family's Hundred Bamboo Assembly. Young Master Ning is welcome to attend."

With that, she departed.

Ning Fa held the jade slip in his hand, his eyebrows raising as a smile curved his lips.

This woman's personality was indeed just as he had imagined.

Very rational, prioritizing benefits.

Given the powerful strength he had displayed today, and his status within the Ning Family, This woman likely wanted to build a good relationship with him.

Even though he had just rejected her hint about wanting more Blood Fang Rice.

This made Ning Fa find it interesting; she was much more engaging than a mere decorative vase.

Ning Fa turned to look at his subordinates in Blazing Wind Hall. Even Ning Yunhui looked at him with reverence, their eyes filled with admiration.

Ning Fa knew in his heart that this was not solely due to his competent command and the successful conquest of the Huang Family this time.

It was also because his battle with Shi Shaoyang had completely won over these subordinates.

Ning Yuwen couldn't help but sigh, "It seems I shouldn't have come out at all. You didn't need me, you handled everything yourself."

Ning Fa chuckled.

He had invited Ning Yuwen not only to be his second-in-command.

But also to increase his influence within the family once Ning Yuwen achieved Foundation Establishment in the future.

He knew his own situation well. Because he possessed the Five Elements Thunder Body, the threshold for his breakthroughs was too high.

Qi Condensation mid-stage and late-stage were already difficult, let alone the bottleneck of Foundation Establishment.

He likely wouldn't be able to achieve Foundation Establishment smoothly.

Therefore, it was necessary to have Ning Yuwen achieve Foundation Establishment first, so that he would have a powerful ally.

Ning Fa then looked at Huang Shuheng again and said with a light smile, "I heard that besides ordinary Blood Fang Rice, your esteemed family has also cultivated a superior grade of Blood Fang Rice in recent years. Its effects after consumption are several times that of ordinary Blood Fang Rice. I wonder if I could have the honor of witnessing it?"

Ning Fa stared intently at Huang Shuheng, his face showing anticipation.

What he valued was the effect of this superior grade Blood Fang Rice in enhancing physical strength.

He hadn't known about this particular efficacy of Blood Fang Rice during his time on Small Bamboo Island.

He had only found out about it during this mission.

Otherwise, he would have found ways to obtain Blood Fang Rice to temper his physique long ago.

He was overjoyed.

After all, spiritual items that could enhance physical strength were very rare.

Especially during this period, the supply of Cloud Crystal Liquid had significantly decreased, and even Wei Shiqin couldn't do much about it.

Without Cloud Crystal Liquid, the Purple Origin Powder could naturally not be refined, causing his body refinement progress to be slow.

Therefore, Ning Fa was determined to obtain this superior grade Blood Fang Rice.
