“Hump! I was only testing Master Ning’s ability. You could still remain calm while my purple bloody skeleton was charging at you. It seems like your strength isn’t below me.”
While the two were arguing, about a hundred rainbows emerged from all directions with some clear and resounding voice.
“The head of Great Void Sect, Zhong Xuan Zi, has come to ask for a Nascent Soul dan. I hope master will grant us the dan!”
“The elder of Corpse Seizing Sect, Ye Kong Wen, has come. We can’t thank you enough if you grant us a Nascent Soul dan!”
“Icy Condense Sect…”
“Everlasting Sect…”
“Green Sun Sect…”
…
The experts from all the sects had stepped into the void above Ning City. Their only intention was to ask for a dan.
These experts were the rarely-seen Gold Core old monsters. They were descending from the void and looked at ‘Black Devil Ning’ respectfully.
However, they didn’t realize that they had seen the wrong person.
The number of visitors was increasing. No one would dare to test ‘Black Devil Ning’s’ ability anymore as they feared that it would offend the crowd.
Sinister Sparrow acted to block Purple Yin Kidd’s attack because he saw the connection of Ning City and the old monster. He wanted to lend a helping hand to the disciple of the old monster but he had never intended to ingratiate himself with ‘Black Devil Ning.’
At the present moment, any blind old man who dared to attack Black Devil Ning would be besieged by the others.
Purple Yin Kidd’s act just now was the deterrence for overturning the invaluable cart.
“This is my gifts for you. Please keep them and grant me a dan!”
Ning Fan’s eyes were sweeping across the different kinds of immortal ores, magical treasure and herbs. His eyes glittered with excitement. With these much of possessions, he wouldn’t need that long to rise from Yue Country anymore!
“You are Ning Fan? Not bad, I no longer concern passing Mei Er to you. I am Sinister Sparrow, an old good friend of your master.”
As Ning Fan was still in his ecstasy, Sinister Sparrow walked towards him with a slight smile.
According to the promise, Ning Fan was his son-in-law.
“Oh, Junior Ning Fan greets master!”
Ning Fan smiled bitterly. This was a marriage that he couldn’t shove off.
“Hehe, Fan Er, I heard that you are the descendant of Black Devil Ning, this is truly amazing! Come out Mei Er, what are you still hiding for? Go and have a chat with Fan Er. You youngsters don’t have to be shy.”
Sinister Sparrow moved aside and a girl in light blue slowly walked out from behind. The expression in her eyes was complicated as she looked at Ning Fan.
“Let’s go and have a stroll. I have things to talk to you…” There were some ‘I-beg-you’ expression in her tone.
“Erm…”
Ning Fan didn’t imagine that Sinister Sparrow would actually bring along the troubling girl with him.
Ning Fan also looked at Nangong with an ‘I-beg-you’ expression but he gave a soft smile in return and replied via spirit sense.
“Why not go and have a nice stroll with miss Lan Mei? Don’t worry, the identity of ‘Black Devil Ning’ won’t be exposed with my presence here.”
Ning Fan looked towards Zhihe and saw her surrounding Su Wuxie. She was too preoccupied with the matter of Si Wuxie turning into an old man.
“Fine. I will follow you for a stroll just for a while. And before that let me warn you to not show your missy temper to me, otherwise I will leave immediately.”
Ning Fan said in an aggrieved tone as if he was suffering a loss, which had made Lan Mei knit her eyebrows. Her face was enough to attract countless of pursuers. It was rare to be able to have the chance to have a private walk with her. This Ning Fan was really a person who didn’t know how to value the invaluable.
If it wasn’t for a request, she wouldn’t waste the effort to have a stroll with him.
During the first time when she requested to discuss matters with Ning Fan, she was met by his cold eye expression and he left the auction place without turning his head.
The second time when she went to Mo Clan, she was chased out of Seven Apricot suddenly because of his anger.
This Ning Fan was truly overbearing. He had never given her the chance to speak.
As a matter of fact, Ning Fan’s coldness and domineering aura had made Lan Mei grow slightly fond of him. However, that wouldn’t affect her core as she had sworn that she wouldn’t fall in love with any man for the rest of her life.
According to the people outside, Lan Mei had high requirements and was very arrogant. She would look down on those who had low cultivation realm. In fact, this was merely an excuse or a pretense. She had always been unapproachable for any pursuer.
‘Ning Fan, we are not going to be partners…’ This sentence had a certain deep underlying meaning, but too bad, Ning Fan wasn’t able to grasp it.
Lan Mei followed behind Ning Fan away from the crowd, towards the maple forest. She bit her lips and wanted to say it out, but there were some words that couldn’t easily be said.
That was undeniably a shameful thing to say, how she could open her mouth…
‘Ning Fan, I am in fact a ‘stone girl*’. I don’t like men…We are not going to become partners.’
These words were circling within her forehead but she couldn’t muster the courage to say it.
However, if this message wasn’t spoken out and once Ning Fan went to Sinister Sparrow Sect, the marriage between them would begin. She couldn’t hide it anymore.
Not even her dad knew about this secret. ‘Darn! How am I going to open my mouth?’
‘Why do I have to beg for Ning Fan, this unpleasant and bad man?”
‘This hateful Ning Fan! He doesn’t know what an awkward atmosphere is and what a warm atmosphere is. This makes me can’t speak at all!’
“Miss Lan Mei, just tell me if you have any words to speak. Why are your face so red? Do you want to shit?”
Ning Fan frowned and said unconcernedly.
“You are the one who wants to shit! You…you are truly vulgar!”
Lan Mei’s face blushed and looked infuriated. She realized that Ning Fan was absolutely the worst man in the aspect of romance.
