Chapter 29: Na'er's commission, the eternal east wind, the pain of a bootlicker.
"It's gone, there really is nothing left this time."
Looking at the oranges that Jiang Xiu had taken away, Na'er wanted to cry but had no tears, looking at Jiang Xiu pitifully. Those were her stocks, and now they had all been squeezed dry by Jiang Xiu.
"Okay, I'll take your order. Tell me, who do you want to kill... no, who do you want to help you suppress?"
Jiang Xiu peeled an orange and looked at Na'er's pitiful appearance, feeling quite amused. This look was no less than the meal he had ordered in his previous life being stolen.
"You agreed?!"
Seeing Jiang Xiu agreed, Na'er instantly put away her pitiful expression, the corners of her mouth curved like a crescent moon, and she walked to Jiang Xiu with her legs spread out, saying seriously.
"I've already ascertained everything. The person opposite is a great spirit master, whose martial spirit is an elementalist. Hmm... Also, her intelligence isn't likely to be very high, and she might unleash her bestial nature."
"Boss, when the time comes, you'll train her hard, and it's best if she's completely defeated."
Na'er's purple eyes gleamed, and she occasionally flung her fists, as if anticipating that moment, her excitement growing with each passing moment.
Jiang Xiu's eyes twitched slightly upon hearing this. Why did he feel that Na'er and Gu Yue were so incompatible, like a pair of bickering lovers?
"Is this the clash of human and animal nature? A single thought of gods and demons?"
Jiang Xiu chuckled inwardly.
"Jiang Xiu, are you listening?"
Na'er looked at Jiang Xiu, a smile on his face. She stood on tiptoe, her pretty face leaning towards him, her beautiful eyes wide.
At that moment, a gentle breeze blew, sending Na'er's silver hair flying, carrying a faint fragrance that lingered on Jiang Xiu's handsome face.
"I'm listening, Na'er. I'll definitely do what Grandpa ordered."
Jiang Xiu chuckled and tucked a peeled orange into Na'er's mouth, allowing her to rest her toes.
"Gu Yue, although you've taken seven of the essences, I have a substitute, so you'd better submit obediently," Na'er thought proudly. She could see through Gu Yue's intentions immediately. He simply wanted to join the Spirit Pagoda like her and prepare for the revival of the spirit beast clan. But one pagoda couldn't accommodate two dragons, so she had to strike first.
The Spirit Pagoda's battles were always like this!
"Then let's set off with Master tonight!"
Na'er raised her head. This time, the advantage was definitely hers!
"Alright, it's only morning, so we still have plenty of time. Come and learn how to engrave the soul guide array with me. It'll be useful for crafting battle armor later."
Jiang Xiu nodded slightly, then led Na'er to a large tree in the courtyard and took out two books on crafting core soul guide arrays.
Over the past four years, in addition to improving his cultivation and expanding the Shadow Lords of the Abyssal Plane, he's also been making progress in his other major professions.
Na'er gazed at the densely packed core arrays on the book before her, her eyes instantly clearing, her bare hands resting on her head.
"I can't learn it, I really can't!"
Na'er's alopecia scaly, a slight sense of frustration building.
Although she was a top student from the Star Dou Great Forest Culture Co., Ltd., facing these core arrays, she could only focus on one culture.
Looking at the handsome young man beside her, Na'er raised her eyebrows slightly and called softly.
"Jiang Xiu, Jiang Xiu."
"I'm here."
"What are we having for lunch today? Chili barbecue noodles or braised chicken with rice?"
"Anything's fine."
Na'er chirped around Jiang Xiu like a yellow bird, chattering. Jiang Xiu's lips occasionally curled up, and time slowly passed. The sun was shining brightly, the wind blew through the treetops, and they were in the prime of their youth.
...
In the evening, the sun set.
A fiery crimson glow dotted the sky, its brilliant light refracted by the towering metal walls of the Spirit Pagoda, resembling the setting sun setting on the earth.
Downstairs at the Spirit Pagoda headquarters, Na'er stood beside Jiang Xiu, gazing at the bustling streets before her. Her beautiful eyes darted around, as if waiting for something.
"Xiao Xiu, Na'er."
At that moment, a cold and elegant voice echoed from the distance. Leng Yaozhu emerged from the Spirit Pagoda headquarters, her graceful figure clad in a long red dress. Her arms shone with a shimmering sheen, and her long, dark red hair perfectly matched the setting sun.
Compared to four years ago, time seemed to have left no trace on Leng Yaozhu.
But now, beside her was a middle-aged man. He was tall and handsome, with a prominent nose and small eyes. He exuded a powerful intimidating aura.
After Leng Yaozhu finished speaking, she walked straight towards Jiang Xiu and Na'er, her gaze never lingering on the middle-aged man beside her.
"You two little ones, let's go."
Leng Yaozhu approached Jiang Xiu and the others, a smile breaking across her pretty, cold face. She then began to lead them out of Shrek City.
"Yaozhu, would you like me to accompany you to the East China Sea? After all, the Spirit Pagoda isn't busy these days," the middle-aged man, seeing this, coughed softly and called from behind.
"Thank you for your concern, Master Qiangu. I can go on my own. Besides, it's not work hours now, so there's no need for you to follow me."
Jiang Xiu's eyes flickered slightly, catching sight of the middle-aged man behind Leng Yaozhu. He instantly recognized him as the current Master of the Spirit Pagoda, Qiangu Dongfeng, the ruler of the Qiangu Clan.
Of course, he had been secretly pursuing Leng Yaozhu.
"By the way, Master Qiangu, we're not that close. Just call me Leng Yaozhu."
Before Qiangu Dongfeng could reply, Leng Yaozhu turned and gave him a perfect smile.
A smile can be a form of courtesy, but it can also be a warning.
With that, Leng Yaozhu led Jiang Xiu and Na'er into the distance, merging with the crowd.
Qiangu Dongfeng gazed at the figures, his expression slightly grim, but then a thought struck him, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
"Leng Yaozhu, when my Qiangu Family completely controls the entire Spirit Pagoda, you will be mine sooner or later!"
With a cold snort in his heart, Qiangu Dongfeng seemed determined to succeed. Although his grandson, Qiangu Zhangting, wasn't a Limit Douluo, he could provide him with immortal herbs and battle armor, allowing his Qiangu Family to ascend to a new level.
Within the Spirit Pagoda, who dared to challenge them? Who dared to defy them? The Phoenix Clan was nothing more than a declining flock of chickens and peacocks.
With this in mind, Qiangu Dongfeng confidently turned and reentered the Spirit Pagoda.
Honestly, he'd been quite busy these past few days, and just now, he'd pretended to be alright just to create some time alone with Leng Yaozhu.
...
Night fell.
A dark, black-class mecha advanced across the sky, breaking through the thick clouds.
"Xiao Xiu, Na'er, you two should rest early. We'll reach the East China Sea tomorrow, and then it'll all depend on your performance."
Inside the cockpit, Leng Yaozhu's beautiful eyes etched with a smile, her red lips curled.
"Master, I think Gu Yue is nothing but a traitor. Tomorrow, you'll see me... Jiang Xiu, test his abilities."
Na'er raised her head, her purple eyes brimming with confidence.
