Night without Borders

Chapter 87 Honor and Shame Gone with the Wind

Qin Ming took out ten gold coins without saying a word and quickly put the ancient book into his arms.

The mountain monster with black hair all over his body was very particular. He was not only staring at the purple lightning beast, but also chatting with Qin Ming: "Sir, you don't even read this book carefully before buying it?"

Qin Ming stroked the beard on his fat face and said, "I bought ancient books purely to show off my taste. I put these old things on the bookshelf. I don't read much on weekdays, so I put them in the study to make up for what I lack. It also makes me look more refined."

The mountain monster stall owner laughed and said, "You are too modest. People who love books are all elegant people."

Qin Ming laughed it off, but in fact he felt like a thorn in his back. Staying in a place like this, with strange eyes staring at him from time to time, he could get into trouble at any time.

He wanted to leave immediately, but what did he see? There was a pile of books on the stall farther away!

He is a book lover. He really can't take his eyes off the book and can't take a step away. He is extremely tormented and struggling inside.

"Let's try!" Qin Ming thought that since he had come here and encountered the opportunity, he saw a bunch of secret books that were very old, but if he didn't take a look at them, he would definitely regret it for years.

Besides, does he still need a quarter of an hour? After all, this place is just full of mutant creatures. If something unexpected happens, he can bathe in the alien blood and kill his way out.

Qin Ming felt a little nervous, and some of the aliens also felt pressured. Could the identity of the person who was personally accompanied by the noble lady from the blessed land be simple?

Especially since Zidianmon walked so close to him and was extremely serious, it was obvious at a glance that this human man was of great importance.

Many aliens noticed that even the two followers of the Purple Lightning Beast were standing on the shoulders of the human man, grinning foolishly, as if by getting in touch with this man, they would be on the road to heaven. They even forgot to care about their own master and were laughing so hard that they almost looked like birds!

In fact, the two birds were feeling bitter. Who would want to laugh? They were forced to do this. They were stuck to their shoulders and could not run away. If they dared not to cooperate, they would be beaten into meat patties!
Before coming in, they were asked to wash the blood stains on their wings. Now that their wings were folded, nothing could be seen.

Qin Ming looked at the books on the floor that showed the age of the books. He touched them one by one and then flipped through a few pages at random.

He was a little suspicious. Why was there no spiritual resonance?

Soon he realized that this was a large-scale fraud!

Qin Ming looked up at the simple-minded and silly alien and secretly sighed, is the competition in the mountains so fierce? This bear-like mountain monster is not a good guy. It is obvious that he wants to cheat humans.

"These were all left by my father. I don't know what happened to them. I can't understand this kind of text." The alien grinned, and the smell of his bloody mouth was very pungent. He first pushed the responsibility away.

Qin Ming didn't want to waste time talking to it. Time was running out and he might be involved in a bloody battle with many mutant creatures at any time. He had to hurry and search around here.

He was devoted to finding old objects, hoping to obtain rare inheritances.

Qin Ming didn't feel much guilt. The relationship between humans and alien species was complicated. There were times when they coexisted peacefully, but they also often pitted and killed each other. When they met in the mountains, they would hunt each other as long as the opportunity was right.

Some of the books that ended up here must have bloody stories behind them.

Qin Ming finally made another discovery, which turned out to be a secret book about leg techniques. This made him very happy. It was the first time he gained inheritance of this kind.

The Purple Lightning Beast served as a background, accompanying the entire process. This fat guy was obviously taking advantage of the power of the tiger and relying on it to fleece the sheep here like crazy. It was so hateful!
"Haha..." Yuque and Mynah Bird smiled even more happily after Qin Ming had a new harvest.

Because they felt that the master's expression was not well managed and was too serious. The two of them were very afraid of death and worried about flaws. They were helping the purple lightning beast to find loopholes and fill in the gaps. They didn't want to expose the problem immediately. They were worried that the fat man would kill the beast to silence it, and both sides would be destroyed.

At first, Qin Ming was so nervous that his palms were almost sweating. After all, more and more mountain monsters were looking at him with fiery gazes. But as time went by, he figured out what was going on. This group of weirdos had made the misunderstanding even bigger!

Because he found that the way these mountain monsters looked at him was also very unusual.

"This gentleman is a close friend of my master!" Yuque said firmly while grinning foolishly.

Some alien species looked down on it, thinking that the thief bird must have changed its allegiance and followed the human man.

Qin Ming quickened his pace. The feeling of taking advantage of others was quite good. He felt comfortable as he continued to do so.

"Boss, I saw you had a book from a distance just now, how come it's gone?" Qin Ming asked, stopping in front of a special stall.

This is not an ordinary street stall, but a large animal skin tent with flowing silver light. It can be seen at a glance that this mountain monster is very wealthy and the things he sells are extraordinary.

This is a third-generation beastman with a prominent background. He came out from the mountains to relax and occasionally exchange some special items with humans according to his preferences.

"Did you hide on purpose when you saw us coming?" Qin Ming pointed out directly. Even if there was a problem, all the consequences would be placed on the Purple Lightning Beast.

This humanoid alien has long silver hair and two jade horns on its head, one in front and one behind, one long and one short, on a central axis. They look like rhino horns no matter how you look at them.

The Purple Lightning Beast glanced at it sideways, somewhat dissatisfied. Did it start hiding after seeing it coming? Was it trying to prevent thieves?
It recognizes this white rhino and claims it is the grandson of the psychic jade rhino in the deepest part of the mountains. Does it have a prejudice against it?
When Bai Xi saw the look in its eyes, sweat immediately broke out on his forehead. Although he came from one of the most powerful families in the local area and was the descendant of the old rhinoceros who was feared by all, he could not compare with this person who came from the blessed land.

"It's here. I saw it was covered with dust, so I took it and wiped it off." Bai Xi smiled and took out the book bound in golden animal skin from the silver tent.

Qin Ming took it with a bit of reserve and showed great aura, which made the surrounding group of mountain monsters a little afraid because this man dared to put on airs in front of Bai Xi.

Qin Ming is now completely immersed in the role. He is a close friend of the powerful Zidianmon, so he has to have some "style".

He only focused and read two pages, and he knew that this book was very unusual. No wonder the rhino monster put it away immediately. He would definitely not give away such a book for free.

"How many daytime golds?" Qin Ming asked calmly.

"It's vulgar to talk about daytime gold. I, Bai Xi, am willing to make a friend like you, so I'll give it to you!" Bai Xi said generously. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to sell it at a high price to this person, so it's better to make a good relationship with him.

Qin Ming said: "My name is Zheng Maorong. When I have free time, I will go to the mountains to visit Brother Bai."

Only then did Zidian Beast realize that, with his dissatisfied look, he indirectly assisted and helped the fat guy!
Deep down, Qin Ming was under pressure. Having encountered this situation today and having come to this point, it was already difficult to turn the ship around, so he could only bite the bullet and make another effort.

At this moment, he came to another stall with a tent, but unfortunately there was no secret book here.

"Boss, are there any spiritual substances?" Qin Ming asked casually.

On the lounge chair in the tent, a woman with a figure as soft as a willow, wearing a black dress and a delicate white face, stiffened slightly when she heard the words. Was she being fleeced? She thought nothing would happen without the secret book.

Only then did Qin Ming notice that her lower body was not legs, but a black snake tail.

"Is there such spiritual substance that can allow people to be reborn six or seven times?" Qin Ming felt that this person must also be a third-generation beast from the depths of the mountains.

Upon hearing this, Wu Yiyi wanted to slap him. This was really asking for too much. The key point was that you were not really buying it, but trying to take it by force.

She shook her head calmly and said, "No, there is only one level five spiritual material, which was reserved by a friend last month and was taken away this morning." Qin Ming felt very regretful.

"Forget about level five, it's not high enough." He said calmly. Although he didn't get it, his style could not be lowered. After all, he was now good friends with Shidenmon.

"There's nothing I can do about it. I only have level 2 spiritual material left here." Wu Yiyi said with a smile.

Qin Ming remained calm and said, "Show me the level 2 one. I just remembered that I need to enlighten some birds recently, so this might be useful to me."

Wu Yiyi's face turned stiff. Isn't the way he eats too ugly?
Where is your style just now? Zidian Beast felt ashamed and was forced to follow him. It was so embarrassing!

Qin Ming bought a can of spiritual substance at cost price with great satisfaction. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. What does style and face have to do with him? Let all honor and disgrace go with the wind. Even if there is wind and rain, let it fall on Zheng Maorong and Zi Dian Beast.

He knew that he had completely offended the Purple Lightning Beast today, so he decided to let it use its remaining energy for the last time and then quickly escape!
"Something is wrong!" Qin Ming was very alert and found that some mountain monsters were still very perceptive. For example, the snake girl Wu Yiyi had a strange look in her eyes.

"Boss, give me a stack of waterproof oil paper." Before leaving, Qin Ming didn't want to take advantage of the situation. This kind of paper was indeed useful to him.

The mountain monster was confused.

Zidian Beast thought that he was so poor that he even started to grab things like this.

"Let's go. It's so boring. There are no rare treasures here!" Qin Ming restrained his inner desire and could not go on shopping.

He walked out decisively, taking the Purple Lightning Beast and two birds with him, and escaped from the black market in the night fog.

"Sir, is it over so soon?" Yuque asked.

"Haven't you heard of an old saying? If you know how to be content, you won't be humiliated; if you know when to stop, you won't be in danger. This will help you last long." Qin Ming finished speaking, turned over and sat on the back of the purple lightning beast, urging him, "Hurry up and give me a ride!"

The Purple Lightning Beast is about to explode on the spot, and it becomes a mount again!
"Hurry!" Qin Ming urged, feeling that something might happen.

Sure enough, he had just galloped a mile on the back of the purple lightning beast when a thick fog suddenly rose in the forest, making it extremely dark and cold.

Qin Ming took a breath of the early spring air mixed with the fragrance of young buds. What kind of monster had he encountered? Why did his methods seem a bit like those of an outsider?

A white owl stood on a big tree, looking very anxious. Its species liked to sleep early in the morning and be active late at night. It just took a nap while its master was taking a hot spring bath and this happened!
If the guardian, the "Four-tusked Old Elephant", came back from drinking deep in the mountains and knew about this, he would definitely put all the blame on it.

The owl's eyes flashed with divine light, and it opened its mouth to spit out thick fog. It squeezed towards the forest, wanting to quickly capture the daring human.

Qin Ming felt as if there were mountains pressing down on him from all directions, making him feel suffocated. He knew that he had met someone from another world.

The two birds rolled their eyes and fainted.

Qin Ming did not make things difficult for them. He untied them and threw them on the ground to release them.

He glanced down and saw that the purple lightning beast was not affected at all. The black fog just rushed towards his body madly.

With a snap, he slapped the Purple Lightning Beast on the back.

"If you don't stop, I'll kill it!" Qin Ming threatened, drawing his sword.

The outsider in the dark seemed unthreatened and continued to drive the black fog, which turned into a black mountain range that pressed down on his flesh and blood body.

Qin Ming's bones creaked as he endured tremendous pressure.

His whole body burst into heavenly light, and the dazzling brilliance tore through the night sky. Originally, he wanted to swing the mutton-fat jade iron knife, but now he found that the integrated heavenly light force actually shook off the black fog, so he swung out with all his strength.

It was as if a bolt of thunder had struck this area!
The black fog was unexpectedly beaten by his palm into a raging wave, surging violently and breaking many trees.

Qin Ming saw that it was effective, and he waved his palms continuously, exploding the black mountains near him one after another!

At the beginning, when he met the young man who could turn into mist, his Tianguang power had no killing power. He could only rely on the unexpected attack of mutton-fat jade iron to escape the disaster.

After he integrated various power techniques, the Tianguang power he exerted at full strength could actually be used to deal with certain methods used by outsiders!
The black fog dissipated, revealing the silhouette of a white owl on the ancient tree opposite.

It was very surprised and asked, "Whose Tianguang Jin is this? It's so overbearing."

"Let me go!" Qin Ming put the knife across the neck of the purple electric beast.

"Okay, as long as you don't hurt it!" The white owl was quite happy. It didn't dare to take the man down at the first time.

A moment later, Qin Ming appeared in the Red Mist Cave, which was only two miles away. Many days ago, he, Xu Sheng, and Sister Fenfang came here to fish for eels and were "surrounded and beaten" by a swarm of fire bats.

He stood there, patted the purple lightning beast, and said: "As the saying goes, after sending you a thousand miles, we must part ways eventually. Go back."

Zidianmon gritted his teeth, it was so heartbreaking that his eyes seemed to be spitting fire.

Qin Ming asked suspiciously, "Why do you look familiar to me? The way you grin and stare is exactly the same as the last purple lightning beast. Could it be the same beast? Did you follow me all the way from the Black and White Mountains to here?"

"Get out of here!" The Purple Lightning Beast exploded. He could no longer endure it and even spoke in human language.

"You can actually speak human language!" Qin Ming was shocked. He slapped it out of the Red Mist Cave with a slap, and then quickly detonated the place, attracting overwhelming fire bats.

He turned and ran towards the cold pond, wrapped several ancient books in waterproof oil paper on the way, and then dived into the icy water.

Qin Ming emerged from a lake more than 20 miles away. At this time, he had already shaved off his beard and taken off his loose clothes. He was no longer fat but had become thinner.

He was wearing a set of loose clothes inside, which were now dried by the sunlight. Suddenly, his sleeves fluttered in the wind and he looked like a handsome young man again.

Qin Ming was not in a hurry to go back. He continued hunting in the mountains. Finally, when the time was almost up, he saw people coming out of the forest one after another, so he followed them and started his journey back home.

"You fat bearded guy, come here!"

"You hairless fat guy, stop first, did you shave your beard temporarily?"

At the only intersection leading to Chixia City, the fat man suffered serious verbal offense and was called fat by a group of birds and terrifying mountain monsters. He was also stopped and questioned.

Qin Ming's clothes fluttered, his long black hair lifted in the spring breeze, his handsome face and eyes were clear without any worldly airs, he entered the city in an elegant manner.
