Ch70 - Meeting the Protagonists Again

Hearing Xu Qianya’s question, Liu Mufeng snorted coldly and didn’t answer.

“Forget it, Mufeng, let’s go.” Jiang Xu said as he took Liu Mufeng’s hand, not even bothering to look at the four.

“En!” Nodding, Liu Mufeng looked at Liu Muyan beside him. “Second brother,XiaoXu and I are leaving first.”

“Alright, be careful along the way.” Nodding at the two, Liu Muyan didn’t hold them back.

Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu left hand in hand. Liu Muyan also left with the few members of the Liu family. Only the four Jiangs stayed at the same spot.

Jiang Dong was sitting on the side, dealing with the insect bites on his body. Xu Qianya was also sitting on the side, healing. Meanwhile, Jiang Min and Xu Qianshan stood beside them with ugly faces.

“With such a commotion, it is estimated that it is now impossible for Jiang Xu to return to the family.” Speaking of this, Jiang Min frowned deeply.

“Yeah, things seem to be getting worse.” Xu Qianshan sighed. Knowing this earlier, he shouldn’t have provoked Jiang Xu back then. Now, it will be difficult to cleanse his spiritual roots.

“Hmph! If he doesn’t go back, he won’t go back. What’s the big deal?” Jiang Dong said with a cold snort.

Jiang Min sighed lightly. “Big brother, don’t forget that you have dual spiritual roots. If you can’t wash off to a single spiritual root, it will not be easy for you to break through the Spiritual Master Realm.”

Hearing his sister’s words, Jiang Dong’s face twisted. Yes, he has golden and wood spiritual roots, but that bastard Jiang Xu was a single spirit root. Because of this, he had been jealous of that bastard since he was a child. Finally, Grandpa kicked that man out of the house, but now, he wanted him to humble himself to ask for help and bring Jiang Xu home. Just thinking about it makes him want to vomit.

“What’s so great about that Liu Mufeng. Doesn’t he just know how to raise insects? We can raise it ourselves. So why go to him?” Xu Qianya snorted coldly with a look of disdain.

“Nonsense, do you think just any insects can wash the spiritual roots? Only the Five Elements Spirit Insects can, and now, the ancient Five Element Spirit Insects have long been extinct. The Spirit Insects in Liu Mufeng’s hands are the closest to the Five Element Spirit Insects found.” Xu Qianshan sighed again.

“Well, then let’s just grab his insects.” After thinking about it, Xu Qianya suggested.

Jiang Min shook his head. “This is impossible. Liu Mufeng is their Master. If he dies, his insects will also die. Those Spirit Insects are his contracted beast pets, and no one else can grab them.”

“How can I be in danger? I’m more powerful than you. The demon beasts are in danger when they meet me.” Jiang Xu looked confident.

Seeing his wife’s flamboyant appearance, Liu Mufeng was delighted. “That’s true. MyXiaoXu is the best!”

After being praised by his Mufeng, Jiang Xu showed a sweet smile on the corner of his mouth. “Here.” Taking out a storage ring, Jiang Xu gave it to his lover.

Reaching out to take it, Liu Mufeng swept it with his spiritual consciousness and found that the storage ring contained the bodies of eight demon beasts and many spiritual flowers and spiritual plants. “Thank you for your hard work.” Then, putting away the storage ring, Liu Mufeng gently pulled a strand of hair from Jiang Xu’s forehead and tucked it behind his ear.

“It’s nothing. The two of us should be able to find more opportunities in the future. I don’t know as many spiritual plants as you.” Jiang Xu smiled bitterly. If he killed demon beasts, he should be able to kill faster than Mufeng, but if he was looking for spiritual plants, spiritual fruits or herbs, it wouldn’t work. He didn’t know many spiritual plants, and most of them looked for these based on the concentration of spiritual energy. It was easy to miss the spiritual plants without proper knowledge. But Mufeng was different. Mufeng was already a third-level alchemist. He read a lot of books and knew more spiritual plants than him.

“It’s okay. You’ve really done great.” Liu Mufeng leaned over and secretly kissed his lover’s cheek.

“Don’t, don’t make trouble.” Jiang Xu blushed uncomfortably after being kissed during the day. He looked around in a hurry for fear of being seen by others.

“There is no one here but us.” With a helpless smile, Liu Mufeng took his wife’s hand and continued to walk forward.

………………………………………………

After half a month…

Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu came to a small stream and met six people sitting by the bank and grilling fish. Liu Mufeng knew four of these six people: the male protagonist, the female protagonist, the sisters Ji Furong and Ji Haitang. The remaining two male cultivators were new faces unknown to Liu Mufeng.

“Fellow Daoist Liu,XiaoXu, is that you? Come and eat grilled fish.” Standing up, the hero smiled and beckoned Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu over to eat grilled fish.

“Fellow Daoist Liu,XiaoXu!” Seeing the person coming, the heroine also greeted the two of them.

“Oh, it turned out to be Fellow Daoist Xiao and Fellow Daoist Meng.” With a smile, Liu Mufeng greeted the other two.

“Jiang Xu? Liu Mufeng? Are you Liu Mufeng?” Ji Furong was stunned when she saw Jiang Xu. She immediately threw away the fish in her hand, got up and walked toward Liu Mufeng.

Looking at Ji Furong, who looked insane and somewhat demonic, Liu Mufeng took Jiang Xu’s hand and instinctively stepped back three steps. He looked at the other with a wary expression on his face.

“Eighth Sister, you’re scaring people!” Ji Haitang reluctantly walked over, hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her sister.

“Sixth Sister, he is Liu Mufeng, right? He is Liu Mufeng!” Ji Furong said excitedly, looking at her sister.

Ji Haitang smiled wryly. Turning her head, she looked awkwardly at Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu. “I’m Ji Haitang, the daughter of the City Lord of Array City. This is my Eighth Sister, Ji Furong. I don’t know who the two fellow Daoists are?”

“I’m Liu Mufeng, and this is my Dao Companion—Jiang Xu.” Smiling, Liu Mufeng reported his name.

“Oh? Daoist friend Liu Mufeng from Black Dragon City?” Ji Haitang asked again, staring at Liu Mufeng.

“Yes, exactly.” Liu Mufeng confirmed his identity again.

“Liu Mufeng, do you know that I have been looking for you for several months. Do you know that I have been looking for you?” Ji Furong said excitedly, looking at Liu Mufeng.

Liu Mufeng twitched the corners of his mouth. “If I remember correctly, I don’t seem to know you, Fellow Daoist.”

Ji Furong smiled awkwardly. “Yes, you haven’t seen me, but this is not important. The important thing is that I was looking for you to wash my spiritual roots. I know that you washed the spiritual roots of Xue Hao in Rune City, and he is now a single spiritual root. So, I also want to wash my spiritual roots.”

Seeing Ji Furong so excited, Liu Mufeng smiled helplessly. “Fellow Daoist, the matter of washing spiritual roots is extremely dangerous. It cannot be washed casually. In addition, since you know about Xue Hao, you should also know that my price is not low.”

“This, this…” Ji Furong frowned deeply. Before coming to the secret realm, she initially wanted to bring the 80 million spirit stones. However, her father said that the secret realm was not safe, so she didn’t bring the spirit stones. Nevertheless, even if she did not bring the spirit stones, she still found Liu Mufeng. So this is really a stroke of good luck.

“Fellow Daoist Liu, my father is the City Lord of the Array City – Ji He. My father and your grandfather have been close friends for many years. Look, can we discuss the matter of the spirit stones?” Ji Haitang looked at the person opposite and said helplessly.

“I’m sorry, I refuse to bargain, and it will not be on credit.” Shaking his head, Liu Mufeng declined directly.

“I won’t default on my debt. When I leave the secret realm, I will let my father send someone to send the spirit stones to your Black Dragon City.” Ji Furong solemnly promised.

“There are still nine years and ten months until we leave the secret realm. I don’t even know if I can get out alive. So why should I do thankless things? In other words, if I die, then my 80 million spirit stones, haven’t they been lost?” Liu Mufeng thought to himself, ‘When he leaves the secret realm, it is unknown whether he will return to Black Dragon City. So how can he let people owe him the spirit stones on credit and send them to the city?’

“This, this…” Ji Furong frowned when she heard Liu Mufeng say this.

“Hey, why are you like this? My little junior sister can talk and negotiate, but you have to refuse people thousands of miles away. Aren’t you going too far?” Said a burly man that came over unhappily.

Staring at the man, Jiang Xu looked contemptuous. “Excessive! Will you give your storage ring to a stranger?”

“You…” Hearing this, the big man was speechless.

“Fellow Daoist Liu, my master and your grandfather have been close friends for many years. Our Array City and your Black Dragon City have always had business dealings, and we have never relied on your Black Dragon City’s account. Our Array City is very reputable.” Another thin man said.

Liu Mufeng smiled. “The City Lord and my grandfather have friendship and business dealings. That’s their business, not mine. So it’s impossible for me to accept credit from a group of strangers. In my eyes, we are strangers meeting for the first time. It’s just impossible. I hope you can understand this.” ‘It’s hilarious.Are you suggesting putting it on credit and only paying up when you come out?Do you really think this is outside? Do you really believe that the name of their Array City is so easy to use?’

“This…” Hearing Liu Mufeng’s words, the four people from Array City were extremely embarrassed. Sure enough, they took it too much for granted. They believed that since Array City and Black Dragon City had a good relationship, therefore, they thought Liu Mufeng would accept the credit and help Ji Furong wash her spiritual roots. However, they did not expect that Liu Mufeng would not buy it on account of their Array City at all.
