“I’ll go out first, you can get dressed.” Ning Cheng spoke while he dressed as fast as he could and dashed out of the door.
At this moment, the red blush on Yin Kongchan’s face was also starting to fade out. When she saw Ning Cheng closing the door behind him, she suddenly whispered, “Ning Cheng, have you and Xu Yingdei already done it? Was she really willing to give herself to you completely?”
Yin Kongchan’s tone seemed a little bizarre, but the fact was that she had seen it with her own eyes.
Ning Cheng interrupted Yin Kongchan’s words and spoke, “Not done it yet, what do you have?”
“Not done it? I saw you two kissing each other quite passionately. How many times have you done it last night?” Yin Kongchan seems to have forgotten about the urgent matter that she had come to tell Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng looked at Yin Kongchan and spoke up, “Kissing? The two of us also exchanged a few kisses with each other, have we done it?”
Yin Kongchan’s eyes flashed with a hint of anger as she spoke, “Ning Cheng, when did I ever kiss you?”
Ning Cheng replied in a light tone, “Don’t say that you never used my toothbrush. It was not only you who used it, but rather you and Xu Yingdei often took turns using my toothbrush. Don’t think that I don’t know about it? That itself is an indirect kiss.”
When one had access to the powers of law, then one can automatically remove the dirt and grime on one’s body. One did not even have to use Water Cleansing Techniques or the Dust Removal Techniques on oneself to achieve that. But in the absence of such power, Yin Kongchan and Xu Yingdei were simply akin to ordinary people. For ordinary people, it was only normal for them to rinse their mouths every day after eating meals.
What was better than Ning Cheng’s toothbrush to rinse their mouth? Therefore, the two of them secretly used it; however, Ning Cheng pretended to not know about it.
Yin Kongchan’s face once again turned red. She had never thought that Ning Cheng knew about it all along. According to this statement, she really had kissed Ning Cheng many times already. Thinking until here, she immediately diverted the topic to what she had originally came here for and spoke, “That Princess Man came back, and mentioned your name and spoke about you visiting her residence. I’m afraid that she wants to make a move on you, so you will have to think of a solution. One of her guards is waiting outside in the yard, if it was not because you and the prince seem to have some prior relationship, that person most likely would have barged straight into the house.”
Ning Cheng sneered, “If he really came in, then I simply would have killed him, as to the City Master’s Mansion, I would have also uprooted it completely.”
Although Yin Kongchan heard Ning Cheng’s words, but she simply hung her head down and was somewhat afraid to speak again. She had just broken into a private moment, and had even saw the ‘scene’. However, she misunderstood the meaning behind the word ‘kill’ spoken by Ning Cheng, as she thought that it was also directed at her.
Seeing Yin Kongchan lower her head, Ning Cheng did not know what she was thinking about, and immediately spoke, “You too, the next time you want to look for me, at least knock on the door first. That’s the most basic of courtesies.”
“I know that.” Yin Kongchan replied with a sigh of relief.
“Yin Kongchan, you said that Princess Man wants to call on Ning Cheng? For what reason?” Xu Yingdei’s still trembling voice arrived, there was even a lazy expression on her face as if she had just recently gotten up, combined with her somewhat panicky eyes, it casted an unspeakable demeanour, causing even Yin Kongchan to be somewhat mesmerized by it. No wonder Ning Cheng was captivated by her.
Ning Cheng looked at Yin Kongchan and asked, “What do you think?”
Yin Kongchan bit her lips before speaking, “I don’t think it’s because of you.”
Seeing Ning Cheng and Xu Yingdei’s looking at her with a puzzled look on their faces, Yin Kongchan directly went ahead and spoke, “If I have not guessed wrong, then you will be staying in the City Master’s Mansion for a few days, and then directly leave from the City Master’s Mansion for the Abandoned Spiritual Mountain. This Ya Lun City has a huge bird that can carry people at a much faster speed compared to a beast carriage.”
“You mean to say that once I leave from the City Master’s Mansion, someone would come to take you away?” Ning Cheng asked.
Yin Kongchan shook her head and spoke, “No, it should be that the moment you take even a step outside the front entrance, someone would come to take us out the back, and would only give an excuse that the two of us had gone out together with you.”
Ning Cheng gave a small smile before speaking, “It looks like the prince is quite infatuated with the two of you.”
Yin Kongchan sneered, however did not reply.
Ning Cheng stood up and spoke, “Have the two of you used up the gold coins?”
“They are completely used up, however we were not able to buy many spiritual grasses, although there are definitely a lot of good things here, however the price is simply too high.” Xu Yingdei replied.
“Just tell the errand boy outside that I’m unwell at the moment, so I will be resting for two days. Ask him to come back in two days. He certainly would not dare to disagree.” Ning Cheng just left a few sentences to Yin Kongchan, then once again went back into his room and once again began pounding his Sea of Consciousness. He did not want to be helpless inside the City Master’s Mansion, even if he had to go there, at least he should have the means to protect himself.
Yin Kongchan glanced at Xu Yingdei, before she went out before she turned around and soon returned. She did not think that what Ning Cheng spoke would turn out to be true, the errand boy on hearing that Ning Cheng needed two days of rest, immediately left without even saying a single word. If she had known that it would be so simple, she really would not have disturbed Ning Cheng and Xu Yingdei.
“Are you jealous of me?” Xu Yingdei saw Yin Kongchan come in and immediately asked the first question.
Yin Kongchan frowned and spoke, “Why should I feel jealous of you?”
“Since you are not jealous of me, then why did you choose to barge in at the most critical time? If you had not come in, I would have been entirely Big Brother Ning’s wife at this time.” Xu Yingdei’s tone was very cold and indifferent at this moment.
Yin Kongchan replied with disdain, “Entirely Big Brother Ning’s? Just go on in and get undressed now, it seems that this kind of thing is your specialty. However, I am a bit surprised; don’t you want to be truly in love? For you to use this kind of method to fall in love is just like you, if I had known it earlier that you were about to dedicate your own pure yin to Ning Cheng, I would have certainly waited a little longer to go in.”
Xu Yingdei stared at Yin Kongchan for a good while, but did not answer Yin Kongchan’s words; rather she just turned around and entered her room before closing the door.
Yin Kongchan frowned, she was truly puzzled about this situation. Xu Yingdei would never give up her body, was she real, or did she really forget the doctrine of the Severing Emotions Dao Sect?
But she also knew that, if she had not opened the door and interrupted the two people, then the two people would have formally entered Dual Cultivation. Yin Kongchan stood there thinking for a long time, however she was not able to think of any reason. She only shook her head and headed back to her own room.
Ning Cheng on coming back to his room simply locked the room and immediately continued pounding on his Sea of Consciousness. Now that his spiritual consciousness could extend to about three meters, he could feel his sealed Sea of Consciousness loosening up, combined with repeatedly impacts from Ning Cheng, after a full day, he finally was able to once again sense the Mysterious Yellow Bead.
The Mysterious Yellow Bead on sensing Ning Cheng’s proximity immediately started shaking violently. An extremely overbearing and powerful Mysterious Yellow Origin Aura directly rushed out. Causing the layer that seemed
to have virtually imprisoned it to dissipate like scattered and scared chicken the moment it came in contact with the Mysterious Yellow Origin Aura.
Once the shackles that surrounded his Sea of Consciousness was dissolved by the Mysterious Yellow Bead’s Origin Aura, Ning Cheng immediately made a complete recovery. With just a slight poke from his now completely restored and extremely powerful spiritual consciousness, the invisible force that imprisoned his Core Lake also completely dissipated in just an instant.
With his true essence and spiritual consciousness being restored at almost the same time, a long lost feeling of power immediately welled up inside him, causing Ning Cheng to almost stand up and shout out in pure joy. Originally, he had intended to enhance his spiritual consciousness just a tiny bit more, at least just enough to be able to open his ring. Then use the pills inside his ring to restore his true essence. Unexpectedly, he was once again able to sense the Mysterious Yellow Bead. Those seemingly invisible yet extremely powerful shackles were simply like clouds floating in the sky in front of the Mysterious Yellow Bead.
The Mysterious Yellow Bead was indeed an extraordinary thing; if his cultivation were higher, then this so called Forsaken Land simply would not have been able to hold him back. On the contrary, if he did not have the Mysterious Yellow Bead, then even if was not injured and in peak shape, he would never be able to dissolve the power that had sealed up his strength.
Ning Cheng immediately swept out with his spiritual consciousness and saw Xu Yingdei sitting in her room while seemingly in a daze. Yin Kongchan was also in her room and had stripped off all her clothes. Ning Cheng saw a faint spiritual qi light on her waist.
Did this woman conceal a magical weapon on her waist?
Ning Cheng did not have the time to continue and observe when Yin Kongchan suddenly covered her chest and lower abdomen with her hands, while she cautiously looked around.
Knowing that Yin Kongchan might have noticed someone peeping at her, Ning Cheng quickly withdrew his spiritual consciousness and left his room at the same time. Before leaving this Forsaken Land, he wanted to go to the White Robed Ghost Lake to have a look. He wanted to know as to what exactly was the long spear that the white robed ghost carried was; moreover, he also wanted to see if the purple coloured long spear was still in the lake?

With his cultivation now completely restored, Ning Cheng’s Profound Core 8th Level strength was almost equivalent to a late stage Soul Essence Cultivator. The journey that previously took him about half a month to complete, now only took just the time it took for half an incense stick to burn, before he finally arrived at his destination.
There were many messy footsteps on the banks of the White Robed Ghost Lake and even a broken beast carriage. Ning Cheng knew at once that many more people had come here after he left.
The fact of Ma Ang being able to obtain a huge fortune from the White Robed Ghost Lake was already known to many people and the scene in front of him only accentuated that fact. Ning Cheng swept down with his spiritual consciousness and found that the lake was still filled with Aquatic Essence Tendons; however, he was not able to find anything unusual.
At this moment, the moonlight was still obscure, so Ning Cheng did not find any white robed man walking around the lake.
Ning Cheng jumped into the lake, causing the lake water to automatically part to two sides around him. This lake was not very deep, so with Ning Cheng’s restored cultivation, even if he wanted to directly go to the centre of the lake, it would not be impossible.
There were many corpses strewn about at the bottom of the lake, some of them appeared to have apparently died recently.
Ning Cheng came to the spot where he had found the rusty long spear. At this point, he was able to observe each and everything clearly with his spiritual consciousness, but still was not able to find anything unusual.
Just as Ning Cheng was about to leave, a frightening scene appeared within the range of his deployed spiritual consciousness. A huge blue green eye shape suddenly appeared at the bottom of the lake. Ning Cheng checked it over and over again with his spiritual consciousness, before he became convinced that it was indeed an eye. Moreover, it was only a single eye, while at the same time the eye at the bottom of the lake kept staring at him, with a jet black dagger inserted just atop the eyeball. This dagger nailed the eye to the bottom of the lake; this kind of scene was both impactful and frightening at the same time.
It was as if a portrait of a single eye was painted at the bottom of the lake with the dagger inserted into the centre of its pupil right above the portrait. However, Ning Cheng was aware that this thing in front of him was definitely not a portrait.
Ning Cheng stared at this eye for only a moment, before he felt a burst of dizziness erupting inside of him forcing him to avert his gaze. But when he looked again, the eye had disappeared. However, a voice mysteriously appeared inside his mind,
‘quickly remove the dagger’
, however the Mysterious Yellow Bead in his Zifu quickly washed away these kind of distracting thoughts.
He was currently a Profound Core 8th Level Cultivator, so how could he even feel this kind of dizziness? This place was definitely not a common place. Ning Cheng was originally intending to pull out the dagger under the influence of the voice; however, in the end he changed his mind.
The next moment, Ning Cheng rushed out of the White Robed Ghost Lake. Even if the dagger was something truly precious, he didn’t want it at the moment. From the exchange from before, he was aware that his strength was currently insufficient to own such a thing; moreover, this White Robed Ghost Lake was also a bit weird.
……
Ning Cheng once again returned to his lodgings, while still thinking about it. He felt that the eye was somewhat familiar looking to him, as if he had seen it somewhere else. Moreover, he was also familiar with that kind of dizziness.
“I understand.” After thinking about it for a little longer, Ning Cheng couldn’t help but mutter to himself in shock; he finally understood why he felt that eye to be so familiar.
One month ago, when he had just entered the Ya Lun City, he had taken a glance at that Princess Man. That Princess Man had a blue green crystal on her forehead. At that time, when he had taken a look at that blue green crystal, he immediately experienced a bout of similar dizziness.
Wasn’t that blue green crystal shaped somewhat like an eye?
With that in mind, Ning Cheng immediately speculated that Princess Man, at least, had some connection to the White Robed Ghost Lake. There was even a possibility that even Princess Man might not be aware of this connection, so for the time being it seemed that it would be better to leave her alone for now.
Luckily, his cultivation was restored now; otherwise, this place was really full of suffering and torment for him.
Ning Cheng shook his head. He put aside the matter regarding the White Robed Ghost Lake and reached out for the rusty long spear. He let his spiritual consciousness to seep into the long spear; however, there was not even the slightest response. It was like mud being thrown into the sea.
Ning Cheng started refining this long spear in his hands. But after a full hour, he still did not get a single response from this long spear. It looks like even with his present cultivation, he might just not be able to refine it at all.
Since he could not refine this long spear, then there were only two options for such a thing to happen, the first was that this long spear was not a magical weapon, rather was something constructed from an advanced level material that Ning Cheng had never heard of before. If it were not a magical weapon, then of course he would not be able to refine it. Of course, there was also the possibility that this long spear’s grade was si
mply too high, causing Ning Cheng to have no way to refine it.
Thinking of this, Ning Cheng took out a high grade knife type spiritual artefact from his ring and began scraping the rust off the long spear. By the time the sky outside had turned bright once more, Ning Cheng finally managed to scrape off all the rust from the long spear in his hands.
In his hands was a black coloured iron rod, seeing this Ning Cheng was almost sure that this so called long spear in his hands was not an advanced grade magical weapon, rather it was just a rod made out of some unknown iron like material. It was just that one of the ends of this iron rod was shaped like the tip of a long spear, which made him presume that it was an actual long spear.
“Can only use it as a simple spear.” Ning Cheng muttered to himself in disappointment. What he lacked the most right now was an actual advanced level attack type magical weapon.
His Cosmic True Devil Axe was still unfinished, so it was not possible to truly use it like a magical weapon.
His Profound Break Spear was cracked, and as a medium grade spiritual artefact, it was starting to not be enough for Ning Cheng to keep relying on.
Ning Cheng swept out with his spiritual consciousness and saw that both Xu Yingdei and Yin Kongchan were sitting outside. He immediately opened the door and went out, before speaking, “Come on let’s go to the princess’ mansion now. We won’t be coming back here again.”
Taking the two of them, Xu Yingdei and Yin Kongchan, with him can also be considered as helping the two of them. Otherwise, once he went to the princess’ mansion alone, he did not know if Xu Yingdei and Yin Kongchan would appear there or in the Ya Lun City’s Prince’ mansion.
