Chapter 15

Lu Xuan's eyes were almost spitting fire, but Ning Yue was completely unconcerned, and with a light laugh, he said, "Even if you couldn't match Xu Xun and Xu Fu together, you should have been able to escape. Why did you suddenly feel like you were at the end of your rope and had to come to me for cooperation?"

Ning Yue's words immediately deflated Lu Xuan, who sighed deeply and said, "Originally, I had an agreement with another divine realm, and they were supposed to send someone to assist me. However, I didn't expect that person to be silently killed, by either Xu Xun or Xu Fu. Without this person to assist me, I couldn't go to that divine realm, so I could only try to enter the Dark World and look for another opportunity."

Ning Yue touched his nose, remembering the middle-aged man killed by the Flame God. He didn't have the heart to tell Lu Xuan that the person who was supposed to assist him was the one he had killed. At the same time, he still had the same question: if this man was there to assist Lu Xuan, why did he attack him?

If this middle-aged man knew Ning Yue's true identity, he shouldn't have acted rashly. If he didn't know who Ning Yue was and still acted rashly, even sending a newly created Death Servant, it was a matter worth pondering. This suggested that there must have been a false piece of information that made someone mistake him for another person, someone easier to kill and who was a thorn in someone else's side. Ning Yue had no idea who this person was.

After a moment of thought, Ning Yue asked, "So, you mean that I just need to help you enter the Dark World, and this deal will be considered complete?"

Lu Xuan smiled bitterly and said, "Of course, I would prefer if you could help me contact another divine realm, but that's too much to ask. Indeed, as long as you help me enter the Dark World, the deal is complete."

The Dark World is a connection point between the main world and the various divine realms. Ning Yue had lived in the Dark World for a long time, and helping Lu Xuan enter it wasn't particularly difficult for him. He could easily do it.

Ning Yue nodded and said, "If that's the case, we have a deal!"

The two of them struck a palm through the air, and the air made a crisp sound. Ning Yue deactivated the dimensional battlefield and said to Lu Xuan, "This place is very safe. If you need anything, you can ask the security guards to help you. I need to prepare to send you to the Dark World, so you'll stay here for a while."

Lu Xuan sat down in the largest and most comfortable office chair, waved his hand, and said, "I know, go about your business! Don't worry about me. Just remember to have your subordinates bring me more food. I haven't eaten much in a long time. Xu Xun's nose is even sharper than a tengu's. No matter what I did, I couldn't shake him off, and I'm really exhausted."

Ning Yue pursed his lips and ignored Lu Xuan, calling for Lu Wenying and leaving the office.

Ning Yue didn't go out to hail a taxi but had a security guard drive a Ford E-Class, which carried him and Lu Wenying out of the factory.

Lu Wenying hadn't spoken until the car started, then she said softly, "If you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask. But if things have become so strange, I would feel weird if I didn't say something."

Ning Yue smiled slightly, patted the armrest, and said slowly, "My parents are ordinary people. You've been to my house, so you know that my parents aren't as successful in their careers as yours, and they don't have much money or power."

Lu Wenying didn't interrupt Ning Yue but looked at him with deep affection, exuding a tranquil aura.

Ning Yue scratched his head and then said, "Later, I had a small adventure and gained some special abilities, so I gradually became the person I am now."

Ning Yue snapped his fingers, and a thread of fire flew out from his palm, transforming into a flame dragon as thick as a finger, with scales and horns, writhing and flying in the car. Although this small creature was less than a meter long, it had a majestic and authoritative presence.

Lu Wenying was instantly shocked and wanted to touch the small fire dragon out of curiosity. Ning Yue quickly stopped her and laughed, "This little thing is very wild. Don't underestimate it just because it's small. If it gets angry, it can melt an entire aircraft carrier into molten iron. If you like, I can teach you some secret techniques to refine this fire dragon. Once you master its power, you won't be afraid of its flames."

Since Lu Wenying had shown interest in him, Ning Yue didn't plan to keep certain things hidden. He didn't reveal everything at once to make it easier for Lu Wenying to accept. Otherwise, the amount of information would be too much, requiring more explanation, which would be a waste of time.

Ning Yue had twelve spirit attendants, all the most talented girls he had gathered over the years. Each one was exceptionally talented and personally guided by him to practice the highest-level secret techniques. These twelve spirit attendants were his preparation for the future, to break the seal on the peach tree where his true body was suppressed. It wasn't because Ning Yue had a fetish for collecting beautiful girls.

One of Ning Yue's twelve spirit attendants was lost over a decade ago. Although he wanted to make up the number, he hadn't found a suitable candidate. Since Lu Wenying had shown interest in him, this matter was now just a matter of going with the flow.

Lu Wenying asked slowly, word by word, "Are you really willing to teach me these mysterious abilities?"

Ning Yue shrugged and asked, "Why not? Although the group text message was an accident, I never thought I would win the favor of the top goddess of Minghu Middle School. But since things have happened, it must be fate. If you're willing to be with me, you should know more about me."

Lu Wenying laughed lightly and then carefully asked, "So, that day when you called the service company and prepared my birthday gift, showing off your wealth, was it to test my expectations?"

Ning Yue gently opened his palm, palm up, and the fire dragon, which he had extorted from Lu Xuan, fell into his hand, coiling around it. Ning Yue looked at the fire dragon and couldn't help but laugh, "I didn't mean to show off. This is just how I live. Your daily life is also different from how you present yourself at school."

Ning Yue looked deeply at Lu Wenying and said, "Although you give the impression of being from a wealthy family at school, I believe that's already the result of you dressing as simply as possible. When you brought me home, you didn't think much about it, did you?"

Lu Wenying was taken aback and then said softly, "Actually, I did have a bit of a showing-off mentality, wanting you to know how good I am. But... after just a few hours, I realized I was a fool. I thought my crush was just a pig, but it turns out he's actually the Marshal of the Heavenly Pavilion!"
