The wicked female is extremely fierce, but she's pampered by her seven beast husbands.
Chapter 255 Crescent Moon Pendant
Chapter 255 Crescent Moon Pendant
With the soothing effect of Ling Chengen's blood, his reproductive period was finally over safely, and her eyes fully recovered after a good night's sleep.
Before dawn the next day, the two left the cave in the dark and headed south.
They ran into Su Weihua, who was heading back, and Bai Qingyu and Bai Xi, who were leading the team.
Ling Chengen and Su Weihua's luck was neither particularly good nor bad.
After crossing the border of the far north, the two encountered an ambush by the Sea Guards, as well as a horde of inferior beasts that had been specifically driven to this area to intercept them.
Shi Ruoan's injuries have not fully recovered, so she is unable to fight with full force.
Ling Chengen is only at the twelfth level. In actual combat, he can challenge opponents of higher levels, but he cannot deal with superpowered warriors who are three levels above him.
So just when it seemed that she and Shi Ruoan were about to be captured on the spot and fall into the hands of the enemy, reinforcements suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Bai Xi and Bai Qingyu, along with several incredibly fast Moonfeather Azure Crane warriors, appeared from behind the towering mountain peaks without any warning. Without a sound, they flew like arrows, piercing the ground, grabbing a sea creature guard, flying up, and then dropping him down from mid-air.
Ling Chengen's eyes lit up as he watched Su Weihua jump off Bai Qingyu's back and immediately knock away several weapons around her. His voice was weak as he said, "You arrived just in time. If you had come any later, I might have been killed."
Su Weihua looked at Bai Xi, who was blocking their way, and examined the wound on her side. She frowned and said, "You are seriously injured. Let's leave here first."
Ling Chengen shook off his hand, stood up straight, and casually took a hemostatic pill.
"Wouldn't it be a huge loss to just leave like this!"
Ling Chengen glanced at the still considerable number of sea guards: "These injuries only look serious, but I won't die for now."
"Kill these sea creatures."
When dealing with enemies, we should act like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, leaving no room for retreat.
Su Weihua stared at her in astonishment, and before she could react, she found that she had directly said to Shi Ruoan, "Freeze my wound to stop the bleeding."
Shi Ruoan turned around, grabbed her shoulder, and pushed her back: "Since there is support, you should heal your injuries first."
Ling Chengen glared fiercely at the back of his head, contemplating whether to slap him from behind.
It's the kind of thing that lets you down at crucial moments!
Just as she was about to rush forward, Bai Qingyu suddenly grabbed her from behind, turned around and threw her onto his broad back: "Behave yourself. I know you're angry, but don't risk your life."
Ling Chengen grabbed the feathers on the back of his neck and said unhappily, "Aren't you going to help me?"
Bai Qingyu: "At other times, I will not refuse you whatever you want to do."
"But when you are injured, you must get treatment first."
"Okay, okay, listen to me this time."
Ling Chengen glanced down at his wound and gritted his teeth, asking, "Where are the wood-type warriors you brought?"
"I'll take you there."
Bai Qingyu took Ling Chengen away from the battle area and placed her on a huge evergreen tree. A giant black leopard silently jumped down from the branch, glanced at Ling Chengen who was sitting on the branch clutching her side, and nodded to Bai Qingyu, saying, "Leave her to me. You can go and help first."
Bai Qingyu nodded, spread her wings and said, "Please."
Having said that, he flew out of the woods and returned to the area of battle.
Blood was everywhere on the ground. Many of the sea guards encountered the flying crane warriors and were basically powerless to fight back.
If the fight takes place on the sea, they can dive underwater to avoid enemies diving down.
However, this was on land, where the sea creatures' combat capabilities would be greatly weakened. Therefore, after Bai Qingyu and his group arrived, they reversed the situation within just half an hour, and the battle became one-sided.
After a large number of sea guards fell, the high-ranking warriors led by the sea creatures realized that if they continued, they would be wiped out here.
Therefore, he immediately issued the order to retreat.
Bai Xi and Bai Qingyu each led a team, chasing after the sea creatures and slaughtering them without leaving a single survivor.
Once Ling Chengen's injuries had mostly healed, the sea guards had already reached the shore and seized the opportunity to jump into the sea.
Once they enter the sea, these sea creatures become incredibly agile.
The warriors of the Crane Clan are actually quite good swimmers and can briefly go into the sea to hunt, but they can only use the momentum of a dive to attack and then quickly leave the sea. If their entire bodies are soaked in the sea for too long, they will be unable to fly again.
This method is quite successful when used for hunting.
However, it's clearly not enough to chase down sea creatures.
The sea creatures were as slippery as eels. Several crane warriors got carried away and chased after them into the sea with great enthusiasm, but ultimately returned empty-handed.
Another gray crane warrior who had entered the water was caught off guard by a high-ranking sea creature warrior and nearly killed. It was only thanks to Shi Ruoan's sudden appearance that the warrior's life was saved.
Shi Ruoan grabbed the gray crane warrior's leg with one hand, broke through the water's surface, and threw him directly onto a crane warrior circling low in the sky.
The injured gray crane warrior retained some consciousness and regained his human form in mid-air. He reached out and grabbed a member of his tribe's feathers to steady himself.
"Tell them to stop chasing them into the sea. The sea is the territory of the sea creatures, and it will be very dangerous for you to go into the water."
Shi Ruoan shouted to Bai Xi in mid-air, "I can't always save people in time."
Bai Xi hovered in mid-air, looking down at Shi Ruoan who was bobbing up and down in the waves. After a moment of contemplation, she gave the order to retreat: "Retreat."
Shi Ruoan watched as the crane-clan beastmen flew up from the seawater and breathed a sigh of relief without making it obvious.
He was afraid that these crane people wouldn't listen to his advice.
If Bai Qingyu were the team leader, he was confident he could persuade them to stay.
But he had never seen the male orc leading the group before. The man looked at him with a critical eye, with a hint of scrutiny and arrogance, which made him instinctively dislike him. However, he could not let such a trivial matter cause him to lose his temper.
Bai Qingyu followed behind, his long claws grabbing Shi Ruoan and setting him down on the shore.
"Thank you for saving my people."
After landing, Shi Ruoan's fishtail transformed into legs, and she sighed softly, "It's nothing, didn't you save me too?"
"Is the person leading the team your brother?"
"You have a pretty good eye for people."
“That’s my second brother, Bai Xi.”
Shi Ruoan said, "You two actually look somewhat alike."
Bai Xi just looks more flamboyant, while Bai Qingyu has a calmer and more reserved temperament.
The two have very different styles, so without careful observation of their facial features, it's not easy to tell their previous relationship at first glance.
Bai Qingyu glanced at the departing group and said, "I'll take you back; you're too slow walking on your own."
Shi Ruoan climbed onto his back and whispered, "I feel like he doesn't really like me. I don't think I've ever met him before, so I can't say I've offended him."
"Don't mind him, that's just how he is, sometimes he gets angry for no reason," Bai Qingyu said casually.
Upon hearing this, Shi Ruoan couldn't help but chuckle, but said nothing more.
Bai Xifei was flying ahead, but his hearing was excellent. Hearing Bai Qingyu complaining about him from behind, he couldn't help but mutter to his clansmen, "That idiot, that mermaid is trying to steal him away, and he's still comforting her."
You're usually so sharp, how come you can't see it now?!
Upon hearing this, the clansman turned around and looked, puzzled. "Huh? Is that so? I didn't see it that way. He seemed perfectly normal interacting with the young clan leader of Shilin. How did you figure that out?"
Bai Xi said firmly, "My eyes are my ruler; they are absolutely infallible."
"The way those two were interacting gave off a hint of an affair."
Clan member: "..." So it's all baseless accusation, and they're wrongly accusing someone here!
The clansmen immediately stopped talking to Bai Er, who was overthinking things. He silently slowed down and walked alongside his teammates.
Bai Xi looked at her clansmen with disdain and couldn't help but scoff.
You don't believe him, do you?!
Just watch, that beautiful merman behind us will definitely have an inextricable entanglement with Ling Chengen in the future.
His silly little brother!
……
Ling Chengen watched as Su Weihua was cleaning up the battlefield. He noticed that with a wave of his hand, all the weapons scattered around the corpses floated up and quickly gathered together, piling up on the overgrown ground.
Ling Chengen sensed the movement in the east and stood beside Su Weihua, reminding her, "They're back. Are you planning to collect all these weapons?"
Su Weihua tilted her head and said, "Extracting metal is time-consuming and laborious. These weapons are readily available, so it would be great if we could collect them. But I don't have a space container, so I need to borrow your space for temporary storage."
Ling Chengen glanced down at the unfamiliar animal skin bag hanging at his waist, took it down, and opened it to take a look.
Inside were indeed many strange decorations, which should all be space containers crafted by Shi Panxing.
The ring that Shi Ruo'an had given her earlier was also inside, and it probably contained quite a few other things as well.
She was angry at the time and didn't accept it.
But the real purpose of advising him this time was to obtain these treasures.
These space containers are very convenient for Shilin.
So, after thinking for only two seconds, she took out a crescent moon pendant from the animal skin bag. Where the crescent moon was connected to the rope, there was a black pearl with a soft, bright luster and a flawless roundness.
"This is an unclaimed spatial container, which should have been crafted by Shi Panxing. Try it and see if you can use it."
Su Weihua held the crescent moon pendant, stunned for several seconds, and asked uncertainly, "You're just giving it to me like this?"
"What? Too embarrassed to take it?" Ling Chengen tilted his head, looking him up and down. "Or are you planning to give me your entire fortune?"
"Oh, all your wealth has long been mine."
Ling Chengen couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and tease this taciturn man: "Or, are you planning to repay me with your body?"
Su Weihua was taken aback by her words. Holding the crescent pendant, she stood there stunned for several seconds. Her ears instantly burned, and she turned her head away somewhat awkwardly. But after her originally fair earlobes turned red, even the skin on the side of her neck turned pink.
Ling Chengen thought he might not react, but he didn't expect him to be so easily amused.
However, she stopped joking and said, "No matter what, you are my nominal husband."
"You can take this space container and wear it around your neck."
Su Weihua watched her turn and leave, and after a long while, she let out a soft sigh, feeling her breathing become easier.
He lowered his head and looked down, holding the pendant in both hands and wrapping it around the back of his neck, putting the crescent-shaped spatial container around his neck.
Ling Chengen has excellent taste; the pendant he chose is surprisingly suitable for him.
In the summer, his skin turned a wheat color from the sun, but as he moved north in the fall, his skin naturally became much lighter, especially his face, neck, and long, strong arms, all of which were close to his skin tone that didn't get much sun.
It was precisely because of his fair complexion that Ling Chengen chose a pendant with black pearls for him.
It didn't make him look effeminate at all; on the contrary, it accentuated his refined and handsome features.
It was only after carefully examining his facial features that Ling Chengen realized that the males his father had carefully selected, especially in terms of appearance and physique, were impeccable.
However, she remained unmoved, simply admiring his face.
After the group returned, they quickly cleaned up the battlefield, killed all the remaining inferior beasts, took the Heart Stone, and immediately left the spot.
The smell of blood will attract a large number of inferior beasts and wild animals. Although they still have some strength left, they need to conserve their power, so it is not advisable to stay here for long.
They caught up with the main force ahead in just one day.
When Ling Chengen landed, she saw Ling Xiao standing on the rock, looking at her with a look of satisfaction, and quickly walked over.
As a result, Ling Xiao slapped her on the head on the spot, covering her head with his large, calloused hand and rubbing it hard a few times before gritting his teeth and saying, "You damned brat, you're really too wild!"
"You're so unrestrained!"
"He dares to provoke the sea creatures all by himself, and even dares to cause trouble in the deep sea..."
You're incredibly bold!
"I'm not as good at causing trouble as you!"
Ling Chengen immediately bent down, shrank back, and escaped from his large hand. He stood a distance away, smoothed his messy hair, and said speechlessly, "Su Weihua complained about me? How could he be like this? I should have left him with you."
Ling Xiao rolled his eyes: "You should thank him! Otherwise, if this kid hadn't risked his life to come back, you would have been killed by the sea tribe by now, right? Even if you weren't dead, you probably wouldn't have gotten away with it."
"Aren't you underestimating those sea creatures in the North Sea? Those sea creatures have existed for thousands of years. Do you think they could survive in the most dangerous north without some tricks up their sleeve?"
Ling Chengen touched the tip of his nose and whispered, "I've learned my lesson. I won't do it again."
At least next time she's up to something, she needs to be more prepared and have more reliable people around her.
Going it alone is definitely not an option.
Seeing that her eyes were still rolling around, Ling Xiao knew that this brat hadn't given up yet.
Fortunately, the person returned unharmed.
Ling Xiao was too lazy to say anything more to her.
After all, the kids are all grown up, so it's normal for them to be disobedient.
If we listen to this old man in everything, it wouldn't be like the temperament of the Boshan Giant Tiger. He would even have to worry about whether this kid will be able to stand on his own two feet in the future.
Anyway, that's how all tigers have been. Few of them were harmless or mischievous when they were young. Enen is considered one of the more composed ones.
This kid is incredibly bold and ambitious.
However, he didn't see this as a flaw.
He'd already scolded those who needed scolding, so Ling Xiao decided to leave the rest alone.
As a father, he did what he was supposed to do.
The rest is up to the child to figure out, think about, and experiment on their own...
