Chapter 96: From Now On, You Are My Bride

Although Chu Jianqiu can obtain the Tian Ji Xuanlong Grass from the hands of a great demon in the Sea Transformation Realm, if he does not rely on other trump cards, he cannot even defeat Tang Ningxin in a straightforward battle, let alone the unpredictable Luan Guanghui.

Just as Chu Jianqiu was about to take out more Qi-Gathering Pills from the cloth bag in his hand, a red shadow suddenly flashed before his eyes, and his hand felt lighter. The cloth bag full of Qi-Gathering Pills had vanished without a trace.

Chu Jianqiu looked at his empty hands and was momentarily stunned. He raised his head and saw Tang Ningxin holding his cloth bag, looking at him with a smug expression.

Seeing this, Chu Jianqiu couldn't help but feel a bit helpless. He didn't agree to Tang Ningxin's request for two reasons: first, he didn't want to indulge her, so she wouldn't always boss him around. Although Chu Jianqiu wasn't so petty as to quarrel with a little girl, he was still somewhat annoyed. Second, he didn't want everyone to know about his consumption of Qi-Gathering Pills. With Tang Ningxin's straightforward personality, once she found out, it would be impossible to keep it a secret.

But he didn't expect that she would resort to outright theft when he didn't give her the pills.

Tang Ningxin opened Chu Jianqiu's cloth bag with a smug look, took out a handful of the contents, and was surprised to see that it was a large handful of Qi-Gathering Pills.

This guy has been eating nothing but these Qi-Gathering Pills all along!

Tang Ningxin opened the entire bag and saw that it was filled with nothing but Qi-Gathering Pills.

She couldn't help but draw a sharp breath. When did the Fourth Peak become so wealthy that they could treat Qi-Gathering Pills like candy?

Chu Jianqiu glanced at Tang Ningxin and took out another cloth bag from his pocket.

These items appeared to be taken from his pocket, but in reality, they were taken from the Chaos Supreme Tower. The extra action was just a cover to hide the existence of the Chaos Supreme Tower.

Chu Jianqiu continued to eat the Qi-Gathering Pills without paying attention to the bag Tang Ningxin had taken. He wasn't going to argue over a bag of Qi-Gathering Pills with this crazy girl, even though the number of pills in the bag was not insignificant.

Seeing this, Tang Ningxin felt a sense of imbalance. Even as a direct disciple of the Seventh Peak, the resources she received were limited. The cultivation resources she normally received were far from enough to meet her needs, especially given her bloodline and the cultivation techniques she practiced, which required far more resources than ordinary martial artists.

If she had sufficient resources, her cultivation speed would be much faster than it currently is.

However, the amount of resources Tang Ningxin consumed in her cultivation was a headache even for Qin Miaoyan. As a mere Ninth Rank True Qi Realm martial artist, the resources she consumed daily were comparable to those of some disciples in the Sea Transformation Realm. Qin Miaoyan had other disciples and couldn't possibly allocate all the resources to her, even if she favored her a bit, she couldn't show too much favoritism.

After all, the vast Xuanjian Sect had a huge daily resource expenditure, and the resources allocated to each peak were limited. Compared to inner and outer sect disciples, they received much better resources.

Seeing that Chu Jianqiu was completely unconcerned about losing a bag of Qi-Gathering Pills, Tang Ningxin's eyes darted around. This is a rich guy! If I can latch onto such a rich guy, I won't have to worry about cultivation resources in the future.

Tang Ningxin ran up and sat next to Chu Jianqiu with a smile, saying, "Big Brother, will you still take me as a little brother?"

Chu Jianqiu was instantly stunned and looked at Tang Ningxin with caution. What is this crazy girl up to? The change in her attitude was too sudden.

Qiu Lianzhu was also shocked by this scene. Is this still the Tang Ningxin she knows?

Seeing Chu Jianqiu's suspicious gaze, Tang Ningxin immediately thumped her chest and said with determination, "Big Brother, rest assured. As long as you take me as a little brother, I will do anything for you, no matter how dangerous. If you tell me to beat someone up, I'll make sure they shit themselves. I'll be your most qualified henchman!"

Seeing Tang Ningxin's appearance, Chu Jianqiu became even more cautious. He didn't know what this crazy girl was up to. If he let his guard down and she suddenly punched him again, that wouldn't be a pleasant experience.

"However, if I become Big Brother's little brother, Big Brother must share some of these Qi-Gathering Pills with me!" Tang Ningxin's face was full of a flattering smile.

Chu Jianqiu finally understood. She was after his Qi-Gathering Pills. No wonder she suddenly became so obedient.

Chu Jianqiu sized her up. Seeing his gaze, Tang Ningxin immediately waved her delicate little fist and shouted, "Big Brother, rest assured, I will be a qualified little brother!"

Chu Jianqiu stroked his chin. If he could buy such a powerful henchman with some Qi-Gathering Pills, it seemed like a pretty good deal.

After learning the Dan Fu Array, Chu Jianqiu was no longer short of Qi-Gathering Pills. The Qi-Gathering Pills refined using the Dan Fu Array were not only of high quality but also highly efficient, with costs much lower than those refined using ordinary methods.

To Chu Jianqiu, these basic pills were as common as talismans. As long as he had the materials, he could refine them at any time.

Seeing Chu Jianqiu's contemplative expression, Tang Ningxin felt a bit anxious. Finally, she steeled herself and said, "If you don't want me as a little brother, I can be your bride. What's so great about Qiu Lianzhu? She may seem gentle on the surface, but she's actually very fierce. If I become your bride, I'll be better than her!"

Chu Jianqiu couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time. This little girl probably doesn't even know what a bride means, yet she's saying it so casually.

Qiu Lianzhu crossed her arms and said with disdain, "Idiot, do you even know what a bride is? You think you can be someone's bride!"

Tang Ningxin's face turned red with anger, and she retorted, "Why wouldn't I know? When I was a bride, you were still playing with mud. You don't know anything! Chu Jianqiu, from now on, I am your bride. We will share both good and bad times as a couple!"

Chu Jianqiu felt a headache. This is all over the place. He quickly waved his hands and said, "Alright, alright, you can be my little brother in the future. If I have Qi-Gathering Pills, I won't forget you!"

If the news of this little girl becoming his bride spreads, it would be a laughingstock. The Seventh Peak's peak master, Qin Miaoyan, would probably tear him apart.
