Chapter 1330 Entry Fee
The word "amazing" was still swirling in his throat when Ning Ruan's calm and even voice abruptly cut it off.
"Give me your storage artifact as well."
Dog Clan Cultivator: "..."
She blinked incredulously.
He looked utterly shocked.
She even pointed to herself with her dirty finger, "Mother, do I... do I have to give it too?"
"If you call me 'Mother' again, I'll kill you," Ning Ruan threatened viciously.
He added, "I'll kill you even if you don't give me the storage artifact."
Dog Clan Cultivator: "..."
She immediately lowered her head, looking aggrieved.
The two ears that were originally standing up also drooped down instantly.
Soon, he took a dusty gray storage bag from his waist and carefully handed it to Ning Ruan.
"Here, Mother..."
Under Ning Ruan's expressionless gaze, the word "dear" was swallowed back.
Ning Ruan accepted the storage bag without any hesitation.
A sweep of divine sense.
"..."
The next moment, his lips twitched.
For the first time in her life, she had a concrete understanding of the word "poor".
The storage bag contained only a few dozen low-grade spirit stones of average quality, a few greasy flatbreads, and a dilapidated little flying boat.
The airship was full of holes, as if it could fall apart with a gust of wind.
Can this thing even fly?
Ningruan expressed his doubts.
She looked at the canine cultivator with a hint of inquiry in her eyes.
"Besides this, you have nothing else?"
The canine monk still looked at her with bright eyes, his sincerity evident in them.
"This is all I have. You can search for it if you don't believe me."
"..." Search if you want.
Ning Ruan actually took out the special tool for searching storage artifacts that his senior brother had developed.
They scanned her thoroughly.
The scan results were just...
There really weren't any other storage artifacts left.
They were so poor it brought tears to my eyes.
Ning Ruan couldn't help but grumble to herself. If she didn't want to meddle, she would have turned around and asked those five guys what they were after in chasing after this person.
Are you after her dozens of low-grade spirit stones, or those few big pie cakes?
Ning Ruan took back the tools.
He was rather disgusted by the dirty storage bag.
Just as she was hesitating whether to take him away, she looked up and saw the other person staring at her with those big, wet eyes.
Coupled with those droopy dog ears... Ning Ruan took a deep breath and casually tossed the storage bag over.
Watching her carefully accept the storage bag as if it were a precious treasure, Ning Ruan spoke coldly:
"Here's your stuff back, but if you dare call me 'Mother' again, I really will kill you. You don't believe me? Just try me."
"..."
The canine monk suddenly reached out and covered his mouth.
Blinking eyes, a muffled voice came from the palm of her hand, "Don't call, don't call."
Ning Ruan nodded in satisfaction.
He stood up again, stepped on Little Red, and flew away on his sword.
……
The incident halfway through seemed to be just an interlude.
It has no impact whatsoever.
Ning Ruan quickly arrived at the so-called No. 1 Restaurant in the world.
This building is not built on flat ground, but suspended at the head of a majestic mountain range.
The entire palace was built with extremely rare spiritual wood, with flying eaves, brackets, carved beams and painted rafters. The materials used were naturally not as good as those of Yunxi Terrace, but in terms of luxury, it far surpassed them.
Outside the building are ninety-nine white jade steps that spiral upwards from the foot of the mountain, creating a magnificent sight.
Visible spiritual energy swirled into mist, enveloping the pavilion, while a powerful protective array silently operated, isolating it from all outside observation.
Ning Ruan stood at the foot of the white jade steps, looking up at the magnificent building, and casually tossed away the fruit pit she had just finished gnawing on.
"It's quite impressive," she commented casually.
The Soul-Nourishing Jade at his waist vibrated slightly, and Chi Ling's solemn voice echoed in his mind:
“This great formation is not simple. If you force your way in, it will cause too much commotion. This is the territory of the Dragon Spirit Pearl. There must be powerful people here. Although the Number One Pavilion under Heaven is not in the main world of the Jiaolong Clan, it has a teleportation array. People from the Jiaolong Clan will arrive very quickly.”
"Who said I was going to force my way in?" Ning Ruan retorted.
Chiling: "?"
The next moment, she saw Ning Ruan lift her foot and slowly step onto the ninety-nine white jade steps.
His posture was relaxed, and you couldn't tell at all that he was there to kill someone.
Chiling: "..."
As Ning Ruan's figure appeared at the end of the stairs, about to step onto the platform in front of the first floor, two figures instantly emerged from the void, blocking her path.
"One hundred top-grade spirit stones are required to enter this building."
One of them spoke indifferently, as if he had rehearsed it countless times, his tone devoid of much emotion.
But for Chiling, who was hearing this price for the first time... her first reaction was that the Dragon Spirit Orb was desperate for spirit stones!
One hundred top-grade spirit stones?
What does that mean?
"How outrageous! It's one thing for her to imitate the number one pavilion in the world, but she even dares to charge an entrance fee?"
"At that price, she might as well rob us! The Number One Pavilion in the World doesn't even accept spirit stones!"
Chi Ling's slightly irritable voice rang in Ning Ruan's mind.
Isn't she robbing it right now?
Ning Ruan replied very calmly.
He immediately raised his eyes, his clear gaze falling on the two guards in mid-air, a half-smile curving his lips.
"Is the world's number one building worth the price?"
Upon hearing this, a slight ripple finally appeared in the guard's calm eyes.
He looked Ning Ruan up and down, then slowly said:
Whether it's worth it or not, you'll know once you go in.
“However…” he suddenly paused, “However, if you don’t want to get into a lot of trouble with your current appearance, you’d better change it.”
"No need." Ning Ruan's lips curled slightly, the curve casual. "I just like trouble."
As soon as she finished speaking, she casually waved her hand, and a hundred top-grade spirit stones floated in mid-air.
The other guard glanced at them briefly before putting them all back into his storage ring.
The guard who spoke first nodded, his expression returning to its initial indifference. "Since you insist, then please proceed."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and formed a mudra.
The next instant, the protective array in front of them, which rippled like water, silently opened a portal just wide enough for one person to pass through.
Ning Ruan remained calm and stepped inside.
As her figure disappeared behind the door, the crack instantly closed.
It was as if nothing had ever happened.
Only two voices echoed, their reality and illusion unclear.
"If she doesn't appreciate it, why bother reminding her?"
“Cultivation is not easy, after all, it's just one life… Young Master, her actions lately have become increasingly absurd…”
"Heh, cultivation is not easy. What kind of good people might come to the Number One Pavilion Under Heaven? If they die, they die."
"What you said makes sense, but... alas, I wonder what the clan really thinks."
"We just need to follow orders; those things are not our concern."
"..."
