Chapter 147 Three Women in a Cage
Qiu Li had previously looked down on Chen Yi's dog cage.
No matter how Qin Chengcheng tried to persuade her to go to Chen Yi's stable to recuperate for half a day, she refused.
Now, seeing so many people recover from their injuries at that traditional Chinese medicine clinic, she is very tempted to try it herself.
However, out of pride, he has always been unwilling to back down.
It wasn't until then that they saw Ning Bu'er slowly walk to Chen Yi's horse cage.
Qin Chengcheng was a little nervous.
Qiu Li finally found an excuse.
She glanced at Qin Chengcheng, then at Ning Bu'er and Chen Yi talking in hushed tones.
He got up, pulled Qin Cheng along, and headed towards Chen Yi's horse cage!
"Come with me! We can't let that vixen burn down your backyard! I'll stand up for you!"
"Sister Qiu, aren't you saying you'd rather die than go to his kennel? Otherwise, if people find out, you'll be too embarrassed to face them!"
Qin Chengcheng asked Qiu Li in surprise.
Qiu Li, however, remained calm and composed, replying indifferently:
"I did this all for you. Otherwise, do you think I would have crawled into that ugly cage?"
Also, his thing has been improved now; it's not a doghouse anymore, it looks more like a carriage, you can sit and stand in it, so it's barely acceptable.
Qiu Li proudly pulled Qin Chengcheng along and walked in that direction, her body crackling with lightning.
The powerful Thunder Spirit Body within his body is dissolving the power of the previous thunder tide.
Although several days had passed, she was the one who took the lead in facing the fourth Thunder Lion.
The lightning surge it received was the most powerful, almost comparable to the infusion of late-stage third-tier lightning slurry into its body.
Even with her innate Dao body blessed with the talent of lightning spirit, she was still unable to completely eliminate or neutralize the lightning plasma.
However, she is very talented, with extremely strong magical power, physical body, and spiritual cultivation, and she also has life-saving methods, so it is not obvious from her appearance.
However, the moment she approached Ning Bu'er, both the demonic flames within Ning Bu'er's body and the wisp of demonic thought within his soul sensed a deadly danger.
Ning Bu'er was already nearing her limit from the torment of the thunder tide these past few days.
If it weren't for the suppressive effect of the lightning tide on the demonic thought hidden within his soul, Ning Bu'er might not have been able to hold on.
It should be noted that the demonic arts she cultivated were also countered by the thunder tide.
Now, Qiu Li, exuding a powerful aura, brought Qin Chengcheng along, looking down at Ning Bu'er like a queen.
Ning Bu'er immediately felt a little nervous, but the more extreme the suppression and the more life-or-death the crisis, the more it could ignite her fighting spirit.
"Hmph, Xu Jiu, is it? How many people can even fit into your formation?"
Qiu Li looked at Chen Yi with disdain and asked.
"It's still quite cramped, and can only accommodate a maximum of three people for rest at the same time."
Chen Yi glanced at Qin Chengcheng and replied.
"Alright. Chengcheng and I will go in, making it three of us including you."
As Qiu Li spoke, she pulled Qin Cheng inside.
Qin Chengcheng was in a passive position, and at this moment, the only thing she could do was tell Chen Yi:
"Qiuli is my best friend. Please let us in to rest; there's no charge then!"
However, before Chen Yi could answer,
Qiu Li snorted coldly and casually tossed a precious jade worth three thousand spirit stones to Chen Yi.
"When did I, Qiu Li, ever need to owe a favor to such a craftsman!"
Before Chen Yi could even react, he received a piece of spiritual jade brimming with abundant spiritual energy. It was filled with a rich, aquatic aura, making Chen Yi's magical power feel restless.
"Is this a rare item called the Water Spirit Jade?"
"This is a damn good item that can improve the quality of magic power, and you just threw it away like that?"
"You big spender!"
Chen Yi cursed inwardly. Although the quality of his Taiyi Longevity Mantra had already reached the Heavenly Grade, making further improvement almost impossible,
But who would complain about not having enough of this?
Among independent cultivators, this jade is a treasure that can improve the quality of magical power and thus slightly increase the probability of forming a core. Once it appears, it will be fought over by independent cultivators.
After Qiu Li and Qin Chengcheng entered the "horse cage," she scanned the interior with her divine sense, observing its structure.
I was stunned for a moment.
The design of this array weapon is surprisingly good, except for the mediocre crafting which results in an extremely ugly appearance.
The array's level of skill was actually quite impressive; each array eye was embedded with lightning crystals, and the special relationships between these lightning crystals formed a large array.
This allows the entire cage's three-dimensional space to become self-contained, exerting a cross-level repulsive force against external lightning elemental power of the same attribute.
So that's how it blocked the lightning surge attack!
Qiu Li suddenly realized.
"Wait, the structure of this lightning crystal looks so similar."
The next moment, as Qiu Li deeply sensed the existence of the entire lightning crystal array, she suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
"Chengcheng, you and he set up this formation together. Tell me, how did the core idea behind this lightning crystal formation come about?"
Qiu Li felt as if she had grasped something, but it was like looking through a thin layer of paper, needing someone to point it out. Without being polite, she directly asked Qin Chengcheng.
but,
Just at this time,
The cage door opened.
A long-legged girl in a black dress bent down and squeezed in, coldly addressing the two women:
"Please move your leg down and make room for me."
As they spoke,
Ning Bu'er disregarded the powerful lightning spirit pressure emanating from Qiu Li and walked straight in, sitting opposite the two women.
At this moment, in the horse cage,
Three women, three pairs of long, beautiful legs, each with its own unique characteristics—fair skin, delicate curves, and defined muscle lines—yet all exceptionally beautiful.
Six legs pressed together, six eyes facing each other.
No one obeys anyone.
Earlier, when Ning Bu'er walked over arrogantly with Qiu Li pulling Qin Chengcheng along,
Especially when facing Qiu Li's sharp gaze, it felt a bit like being caught cheating by the first wife.
Anger surged within her. "Xu Jiu and I have nothing going on. What gives you the right to look at me like that?"
Besides, even if there's something between us, it's not your place to criticize, is it?
You and Xu Jiu are not Daoist partners!
But there was nothing she could do. She had been seriously injured these past few days, and her own demonic powers were being suppressed by Qiu Li's innate lightning body. So when the other party came over, the aura he released made it hard for her to breathe.
"But so what?"
What doesn't kill me makes me stronger!
Ning Bu'er had originally planned to discuss the matter quietly with Xu Jiu. If the other party's demands were too high, she would rather retreat and recuperate than enter Xu Jiu's stable.
But now...
hum,
Ning Bu'er was directly provoked by the other party.
She saw the two of them go inside, especially Qiu Li casually tossing a jade pendant to Xu Jiu.
She just barged in.
"Xu Jiu, I'm going in to recuperate too. We'll settle the expenses later."
And you can add two more times the personal guidance you owe me from before.
I can pay you with a Tier 3 puppet!
I, Ning Bu'er, have never been bullied like this before! I refuse to believe it!
With a cold expression, she bent over, revealing her long legs, and slipped inside.
The glimpse of her long legs in the black miniskirt flashed by, and she used her magic to block it, so that no one except Xu Jiu, who was right next to her, could see it clearly.
Chen Yi was a little confused.
What's wrong with these three fairies? They all rushed in without saying a word?
This is my horse's cage.
There are already three people inside, and the place is full. What's going on if I can't get in?
After Ning Bu'er went inside, he met Qiu Li and Qin Chengcheng's gazes without backing down.
Qiu Li snorted coldly, her eyes narrowing as she sensed the demonic flame aura within the other person that she found repulsive. She couldn't help but grit her teeth and utter a sentence:
"This little demon girl from the demonic path has quite the nerve."
"I merely received the inheritance of demonic arts; I've only done righteous deeds. Besides, this place is a secret realm of my Qi Kingdom. If cultivators from your Central Continent can come here, why can't I?"
Ning Bu'er refused to back down.
"Hmph. I don't care if you use demonic arts during the battle for the secret realm, but I doubt you'd dare do something as heinous as evil cultivation in front of us."
However, if you dare to use your demonic powers to steal a man, I won't let you get away with it!
Qiu Li leaned forward, her red lips parted slightly, her eyes sharp. The invading thunderous aura was quickly expelled from her body in the quiet environment of the horse cage.
"What man did I steal?! Xu Jiu and I are completely innocent!"
Besides, whose man is Xu Jiu, either of you?
Or is he your man?!
"Call him in. If he nods and admits it, and kicks me out, I'll definitely keep my distance from Xu Jiu from now on!"
Ning Bu'er was forced to curl up and retreat by the aura of lightning magma emanating from Qiu Li. Her face turned pale as the demonic flames on her body were stimulated by the lightning magma.
Her long legs were crossed and tucked in, her jade-like feet pressed under her buttocks, the veins on the insteps clearly visible.
But their eyes showed no sign of yielding.
"Hmph, little chili pepper, you're sharp-tongued. I'll see how long you can keep this up!"
Qiu Li stopped speaking and began to concentrate on circulating her internal energy. Her original plan was to refine most of the invading lightning tide power into her own mana, and expel a small portion from her body.
Now, in order to deal with this witch, he no longer chooses to refine her; instead, he begins to fully circulate his cultivation technique to expel her from his body.
For a moment, lightning flashed inside the cage.
Sparks and lightning occasionally erupted from Ning Bu'er's body.
Forced into a corner, she clenched her teeth and remained silent.
Normally, the stable is protected by a protective array, so what happens inside and what is said inside is imperceptible to outsiders.
But as the owner of the stable, and standing right next to it, Chen Yi naturally knew exactly what was going on inside.
But he chose to pretend he couldn't hear; the situation inside was too complicated.
Three women make a drama.
Even with his experience from two lifetimes, he didn't know how to handle it.
He was secretly relieved that the room could only hold three people. If he, as the host, had to go in to entertain them, he certainly wouldn't know how to handle the current situation.
However, at the same time, Chen Yi was also watching closely, worried that Qiu Li would ruin Ning Bu'er.
It's normal for one or two people to die in this secret realm, but dying in Chen Yi's horse cage is a problem. It'll be hard to explain afterward, and it could easily incur the wrath of Ning Bu'er's sect.
Chen Yi planned to intervene when Ning Bu'er couldn't hold on any longer, at least to save her life.
however,
To Chen Yi's surprise, Qiu Li had already used almost all her strength to expel the lightning plasma from her body.
He observed Ning Bu'er's condition and saw that he had long since exhausted his magical power, depleted his spiritual consciousness, and was even on the verge of physical collapse.
However, every time Ning Bu'er reached her limit,
A new power would surge from her soul or magic, enabling her to persevere.
Meanwhile, she kept muttering to herself, "Either kill me, or if you don't kill me, it will only make me stronger!"
After a while, Qiu Li withdrew his imposing aura.
She looked at Ning Bu'er with surprise, a deep meaning flashing in her eyes.
She originally intended to force Ning Bu'er to beg for mercy, or to knock her unconscious and then throw her away.
Unexpectedly, this person was the type to die rather than submit.
Moreover, whenever the body is pushed to its limit, it will unleash a new burst of strength through sheer willpower, allowing it to maintain its final moments of clarity.
This person's natural talent is probably extraordinary.
Qiu Li had almost completely cleared the lightning essence from her body, and now she no longer used her internal energy to bully others.
Instead, he stared at Ning Bu'er repeatedly for a long time, finally revealing a hint of approval in his eyes.
"Hmph! Chengcheng, you'd better watch out."
Your boyfriend is a terrible person, terrible-looking, and terrible capable.
But he has a sharp eye for women.
This little devil has potential no less than yours or mine; she's not just a pretty face.
At this moment, Ning Bu'er was huddled in the corner, barely able to move, only coldly staring at Qiu Li, while also looking at Qin Chengcheng with a curious gaze.
She also wanted to confirm the relationship between Xu Jiu and Qin Chengcheng.
"Sister Qiu, please stop talking. Miss Ning has no grudge against us."
Moreover, Xu Jiu had said that the cultivation world is ever-changing, and those at the Foundation Establishment stage are barely able to stand firm. Without magical treasures and supernatural powers to protect them, they cannot withstand great storms. He currently has no plans to form a cultivation partner.
Therefore, whoever it is, they should not have any special relationship with Xu Jiu.
Qin Chengcheng's words startled Ning Bu'er slightly.
The reason is that Xu Jiu said the same thing by the Thunder Pool in the underground cave that day.
At the time, she thought Xu Jiu was just making excuses to avoid getting entangled with her, this witch. Now, it seems that Xu Jiu hasn't even established a relationship with Qin Chengcheng, this top-tier genius and fairy.
This suggests that Xu Jiu's reluctance to form a Daoist partner during the Foundation Establishment stage may truly be his genuine thought.
Therefore, this further reasoning suggests that Xu Jiu did not harbor any prejudice against her as a demonic cultivator.
At least for now, she and Qin Chengcheng are on equal footing.
Thinking of this, Ning Bu'er's cold expression softened slightly, and he felt much better.
"So he treats you the same way. I thought you were special, coming up here to bully people like the eldest son's wife."
Qiu Li stopped activating the lightning plasma, allowing Ning Bu'er to catch her breath. The first thing she said after regaining her strength was this.
Outside, Chen Yi wanted to cover his forehead in exasperation. "Young Miss, you're about to lose your own life, and you're still fighting for this momentary pride?"
Chen Yi didn't understand that the battlefield between women is sometimes more dangerous and allows no room for compromise.
"Hmph~, Sister Qiu, didn't you just want to know how the lightning crystal array inside this lightning-blocking array was set up?"
This was jointly developed by Xu Jiu and me that day. Of course, only Xu Jiu knew the core of its lightning crystal array.
Why don't I call him in and explain it to you?
However, this method might involve Xu Jiu's fundamental cultivation techniques, so you might have to pay a price, sister. But with my mediation, I believe Xu Jiu will be willing to exchange insights with you.
Qin Chengcheng finally spoke her first words after Ning Bu'er entered.
Upon hearing this, Ning Bu'er sneered inwardly, thinking, "Xu Jiu didn't even teach you this."
original,
Your relationship with Xu Jiu is nothing more than that.
