Chapter 1286 For Food
"In that case, let's go in together."
Ning Ruan said, "I originally planned to have you wait for me outside, which is why I planted the Soul Control Talisman on you, in case you abandoned the boat and ran away."
Lei Zhen: "..."
In other words, he could have avoided being implanted with the soul-controlling talisman?
"Young Fellow Daoist Ning, is there truly a Soul Control Talisman within my body?"
"Guess?" Ning Ruan's three words were still his reply.
Lei Zhen: "..."
He really couldn't sense it.
But he didn't think that this jinx in front of him would let him off so easily.
Ning Ruan said, "Once we reach the Eternal Domain, you can ask someone else to help you take a look."
"Don't worry, I won't mind."
"Or, you can try attacking me right now, and you'll immediately know whether you have a soul-controlling talisman inside you."
Lei Zhen: "..."
Try and die.
He wasn't that reckless.
……
After the spirit boat underwent one inspection, it did not encounter any more cultivators from the other ten major races.
The journey was smooth until they reached the Eternal Realm.
The Phoenix Clan is in charge of guarding them.
The line ahead is still very long.
Ning Ruan stood on the deck, considering whether or not to spend money to cut in line.
Two Phoenix Clan cultivators had already arrived outside her spirit boat.
"Is the ship's lord Fellow Daoist Ning?"
The Phoenix Clan cultivator who spoke was only at the thirteenth realm of cultivation.
His tone was quite polite.
Ning Ruan stood at the edge of the deck and slowly said, "It's me. What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, it's nothing. Our elders heard from the Xuan Shui Clan that Fellow Daoist Ning would arrive soon, so we're waiting here."
Another female cultivator from the Phoenix Clan also spoke in a gentler tone.
Ning Ruan: "Wait for me?"
The Phoenix Clan cultivator who spoke first nodded and looked around at the crowd in line. "Fellow Daoist Ning, it's inconvenient to talk here. Could you please let us board the spirit boat first?"
"..."
Ning Ruan nodded in Lei Zhen's direction.
Soon, the defensive formations on the spirit boat were temporarily deactivated.
Upon seeing this, the two Phoenix Clan cultivators quickly flew up.
The formation was then reactivated.
"Speak," Ning Ruan said.
"Fellow Daoist Ning..." The female cultivator from the Phoenix Sparrow Clan looked at the group of cultivators on the deck, "The senior from the Xuan Shui Clan said that there are Wu Yin Bandits on Fellow Daoist Ning's ship?"
"I guess so," Ning Ruan didn't deny it. "However, they are just my prisoners now. You can ask him if you don't believe me."
She pointed at Lei Zhen.
Only then did the two notice that the silent Thunder Leopard Clan cultivator standing next to Ning Ruan possessed an aura that was terrifyingly powerful.
His cultivation level is clearly not low.
Lei Zhen was silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "Young Fellow Daoist Ning is right."
Two Wind Sparrow Clan cultivators: "..."
So, is this person also a member of the Boundless Bandits?
The Xuan Shui Clan didn't mention that there were any Wuyin Bandits with such high cultivation on the spirit ship.
They can stop ordinary bandits.
But this guy... if he really wants to go in, without any obvious deep-seated hatred, the ten major races won't be able to stop him.
I originally thought the biggest trouble on this trip might be the rumored Ningruan.
But now it seems...
"Fellow Daoist Ning, you should also know about the situation in the Eternal Domain, right?"
The Wind Sparrow Clan cultivator carefully considered his words, "The Eternal Domain is currently not at peace. If anyone of unknown identity enters, it may cause other misunderstandings."
Ning Ruan understood.
So they came to stop people.
She said, "How could the Xuan Shui Clan cultivators leave so carefree?"
So that's where they were waiting.
"Don't worry, I can naturally control the people I bring in."
Ning Ruan gave Lei Zhen a meaningful smile, "Right, Senior Lei?"
What could Lei Zhen say?
He could only nod in agreement.
Two Xuan Shui Clan cultivators: "..."
If someone else had brought them in, they probably wouldn't have been worried.
But it's Ning Ruan... she herself wasn't exactly a stable factor to begin with.
Now, with the addition of this band of endless bandits... things are even more uncontrollable.
"Fellow Daoist Ning, may I ask what brings you to the Eternal Realm?"
The female cultivator from the Phoenix Clan hesitated before speaking.
"I'm going to eat," Ning Ruan said earnestly. "I've finally passed by, so I should at least go in and take a look."
"Eat...eat?"
"Yes, when it comes to food, in a large, eternal domain, you can always find a restaurant that serves decent food, right?"
"……this……"
"What? Don't you have any?"
"..."
The two members of the Phoenix Clan were unsure whether to confirm or deny it.
This was a response they never expected.
"Fellow Daoist Ning, you may bring them in if you insist, but please don't cause any trouble."
After a moment's hesitation, the Phoenix Clan cultivator relented and compromised.
Ning Ruan readily agreed: "Of course, do I look like someone who causes trouble?"
"..." It's not just that you seem like someone, you're a troublemaker at heart.
There's no one more troublemaker than you.
Every time rumors about Ning Ruan are heard, it is accompanied by a group of people from the Eternal Domain suffering.
Aside from her love of killing powerful individuals, she seems to have an extraordinary fondness for causing trouble in the Eternal Domain.
That is why the only ones who came to persuade this evil star in front of them were the two cultivators at the thirteenth realm.
The strong members of the clan were unwilling to come.
"In that case, we're all set."
The female cultivator from the Phoenix Clan raised her hand and waved it, and dozens of Illusionary Beads appeared in mid-air.
"These Illusionary Body Pearls are a gift from my Phoenix Sparrow Clan to Fellow Daoist Ning."
After saying that, the two cultivators were unwilling to stay on the spirit boat for even a moment longer.
They left almost as if they were fleeing.
Ning Ruan: "..."
The Illusionary Beads were still distributed to the Boundless Bandits on the Spirit Ship.
Even the group of customers who paid protection money each got one.
The quantities were surprisingly consistent.
Clearly, the two Phoenix Clan cultivators who came to persuade her were not genuinely trying to convince her.
Rather than trying to persuade her, they seemed more like they were trying to find out why she wanted to enter the Eternal Realm.
……
After leaving the spirit boat.
The two monks quickly returned to the guard team.
He respectfully reported to a Golden Core cultivator:
"Ning Ruan admitted that those people were indeed the Boundless Bandits, and one of them had a very high level of cultivation, perhaps... perhaps he was on par with you, sir."
"Is Ning Ruan really going to take them in?" The Phoenix Clan expert's eyes deepened as he asked in a deep voice.
"Judging from Ning Ruan's words, she really wants to bring it in. We have already left the Illusionary Body Pearl behind."
Did she say what she wanted to do in the Eternal Realm?
"...This, this..."
"She didn't say?" The Phoenix Clan expert sighed slightly. "It's normal that she didn't say. If she really wanted to do something, she wouldn't easily tell others."
“No, no, Ning Ruan said so.” The Phoenix Clan female cultivator who answered couldn’t help but cough lightly, “She said she wanted to go in for a meal.”
"Have a meal?"
“Ning Ruan said it herself, and I feel that what she said doesn’t seem to be a lie.”
