Enduring humiliation for three years, seizing the elixir, the treasure, and the holy maiden.

"I understand."

"It makes no sense for a senior like you to help a junior for no reason."

"The path of cultivation is so cruel. I am a junior, a useless person. Why should I ask for your help, senior?"

"Can......"

Ying Ning'er raised her head.

That's right!

I'm starting to ramble a bit.

But perhaps Su Chen is the only hope in this lifetime.

"Please, senior, save this junior and get me out of here!"

"As long as you, senior, are willing to take me back to the Xuanhuang Continent."

"If you have any instructions, senior, I will do them."

"Even if it means serving as a slave or maid to a senior!"

After saying this, Ying Ning'er was stunned.

It's laughable when you think about it.

The senior in front of me is probably not going to help me.

After all, she had clashed with the Nightless Demon City for the sake of a mere Nascent Soul stage female cultivator.

hehe...

How is that possible...?

"OK."

Su Chen simply waved his hand, indicating that she didn't need to continue.

In fact, Su Chen already had a pretty good understanding of the situation.

Moreover, Su Chen had his reasons for helping her, but the girl just didn't know them.

Ying Ning'er's body suddenly stiffened.

senior...

Just like that, you agreed?

This is such a big deal.

They didn't even mention any conditions?

Ying Ning'er was dumbfounded.

She had already prepared.

She used every trick in the book to serve a man in order to prepare for that sliver of hope.

But Su Chen agreed too readily.

It was so exhilarating that she was almost in a daze.

in fact.

Su Chen had already made his plans in mind.

Leave this female cultivator behind, give her some benefits, and win her over.

I'll take myself and wander around this city that never sleeps.

Especially the auction houses and the black market.

Su Chen was new to the area and unfamiliar with everyone and everything.

Having someone to guide you is certainly convenient.

Furthermore.

Su Chen was going to choose some gifts for his three Daoist partners.

This is the city where the largest black market and auction house in the Black Mountain continent are located.

Based on this alone, Su Chen was certain that this trip would yield many treasures.

More importantly, some of these treasures may be completely unavailable on the Xuanhuang Continent.

However, I am a newcomer to this place.

Every place has its own shady dealings, and this female clerk seemed to know this place quite well.

More importantly, these female cultivators are most likely Lu Yao's spies.

Su Chen didn't want to be constantly being watched.

If I happen to have photographed some really rare and amazing items, it wouldn't be a good thing if it got out.

Now, we know what happened to Ying Ning'er.

Then there's even less reason to worry about her betraying me.

As long as he agrees to save her and bring her back to the Xuanhuang Continent.

From now on, this girl will be loyal to him wholeheartedly.

Moreover.

She was just a female cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage.

Su Chenruo really wanted it.

Lu Yao naturally wouldn't take it seriously.

At worst, I can just throw down some spirit stones and consider it a purchase.

Lu Yao would never embarrass Su Chen for the sake of such a junior.

Su Chen didn't lose out on this deal.

Little did Ying Ning'er know the intricate schemes Su Chen was plotting.

At this moment, she only felt that Su Chen pitied her, perhaps because he was the legendary evil star of the Xuanhuang Continent.

In reality, he is a wonderful person.

Or perhaps, as fellow cultivators from the Xuanhuang Continent, the senior was intentionally protecting him.

"senior!"

"Please feel free to ask if you have any instructions, senior!"

"Ying Ning'er is willing to serve you, senior!"

This time, Ying Ning'er was much more relaxed.

Those small hands held the blue robe, which then slid down her smooth shoulders.

A petite and exquisite body, its graceful curves exposed without any concealment.

That's right!

He was fully aware that since his senior had agreed to this matter.

I am willing to risk everything for my seniors.

After all, besides his own primordial yin that he had preserved for hundreds of years, what other resources did he have to repay his predecessors?

"stop."

Su Chen waved his hand, both amused and exasperated.

"Who gave you the right to serve me like this?"

"I want to take a good look around the auction houses and the black market in this city."

"You, focus on guiding me."

Explain the ins and outs of these two places to me clearly.

"That means you have to serve me well."

Ying Ning'er was stunned for a moment.

Only then did he hurriedly wrap the slipped blue robe back up.

Her pretty little face flushed red.

but.

The mention of auction houses and the black market is a big deal.

Ying Ning'er's eyes lit up.

"Senior, this time we've finally found the right person!"

"This was my first time visiting this City of Eternal Night."

"What they're after is this auction house and the black market."

"I know these two places very well!"

Su Chen sat up straight on the soft couch.

"Then what are you waiting for?"

"Take care of your clothes."

"Let's set off now."

Ying Ning'er responded and quickly got up.

Those little hands, in a flurry of activity, smoothed out the wrinkles in the skirt.

...

A layer of soft red gauze hung down from the top of the high pavilion.

A breeze blows, revealing a languid curve behind the red veil.

Miaoman leaned back on the soft couch covered with white fox fur.

A pair of fair, jade-like feet rested on the edge of the couch.

Lu Yao picked up one and took a sip from the jade teacup.

Nothing else happened.

Just as I was thinking, I decided to take a nap.

"Whoosh!"

Outside the attic...

A crimson shield of light pierced through the air.

"Fellow Daoist Lu."

Blood Fiend's gruff voice was easy to recognize.

"Would it be convenient for us to talk?"

Lu Yao opened her closed eyes again.

She raised her slender hand in mid-air.

The tightly closed attic door silently opened to both sides.

Xue Shazi sat down to the side and casually picked up a teacup to take a sip.

"I personally went to the Luoyun Sect."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yao sat up from the soft couch.

"Oh?"

"Senior, what do you mean?"

This question was naturally asking the senior's opinion on Su Chen.

"What you mean, senior."

"It's about you and me figuring out a way to keep Su Chen in this Never-Sleeping Demon City."

"We're waiting for you to come in person, senior."

That wasn't a definitive statement at the beginning.

After all, the idea that Li Changfeng wanted to kill Su Chen himself was just Xue Shazi's speculation.

However, at this point, I really can't think of any other possibilities.

In my opinion...

"Senior, are you going to personally eliminate Su Chen?"

"A cultivator at the early stage of the Void Refinement realm can severely injure a mid-stage Void Refinement cultivator like Ancestor Demon Cloud."

"Keeping such a person around will ultimately be a disaster."

"Senior, I'm afraid you can't tolerate him."

These two naturally didn't know that Su Chen was Li Changfeng's true disciple.

In fact, Lu Yao was having some wicked thoughts at this moment.

Senior Li Changfeng came to see Su Chen in person?

At least he, Blood Fiend, and Demon Cloud Ancestor were all Void Refinement cultivators.

To deal with a fellow cultivator at the Void Refinement stage, it would require the senior to personally intervene.

Won't it make the seniors think that we're too useless?

More importantly, if Su Chen had killed them before the senior arrived.

Perhaps if I perform well, I can win the favor of my seniors.

only...

I still don't fully understand Su Chen's methods.

Moreover, this matter must not be known to Blood Demon Child.

Let's just take it one step at a time.

...
