Douluo Continent: After seizing the opportunity, I achieved dual godhood.

Chapter 253 What if you don't like him? (Part 2)

Neither Feng Qi nor Qi Lin pressed for details about why the City of Slaughter would soon cease to exist. Instead, they quickly changed the subject, saying, "Your brother and the others don't know you're back yet. Let's go find them now."

Wen Ning naturally had no objection to this.

"OK."

When Wen Ning found Wen Lin and Xie Yue, she learned some news that surprised her.

"What? Yan has gone into seclusion?"

Xie Yue nodded. "He wants to reach level 60, but he hasn't been able to break through yet."

It turned out to be the case.

Wen Ning lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then took out a fiery red, pill-like object from his Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch and handed it to Xie Yue. "Then please give this to him, Brother Xie Yue. Perhaps it can help him break through."

The round, fiery red inner core lay quietly in Wen Ning's palm, waiting for its destined owner.

"This is?"

Xie Yue did not agree immediately, but hesitated for a moment.

Wen Ning had given them many good things before, and they couldn't keep taking from him like this.

Seeing his confusion, Wen Ning didn't think there was anything wrong with it and explained to him, "This is the inner core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent. Like Yan, it is a fire element, so it is very suitable for him to use."

She had a plan when she left this inner core.

It's either for Yan or Wen Lin.

Since Yan needs it now, let's give it to him first; it won't have any negative impact.

Since it was given to Yan by Wen Ning, it wouldn't be good for Xie Yue to refuse repeatedly. After hesitating for a moment, he finally nodded and accepted the inner core from Wen Ning's hand.

"Then I'll keep it for him."

"no problem."

Since we hadn't seen each other for over a year, we inevitably had a lot to say when we met again.

Even Xie Yue and Wen Lin, who are usually not very talkative, said quite a bit.

Once the conversation gets going, it's hard to end the meal quickly.

As expected, Wen Ning didn't leave the dinner table until late at night.

Perhaps because she was happy, Wen Ning drank quite a bit of alcohol on her own, even though no one was trying to force her to drink.

It was still the same road, and she was still chatting with another person.

Do you think Wei Changqing will come looking for me?

After shooing away everyone who wanted to take her home, Wen Ning started chatting casually with Yan Yi.

Hearing her words, the person walking beside her, who had grabbed her arm, frowned. "You really want him to come looking for you?"

Wen Ning, oblivious to the strangeness in the man's tone, sincerely replied, "Of course, his strength..."

"I won't come."

She was interrupted before she could finish speaking; the other person's tone was extremely confident, as if they had already foreseen this.

Wen Ning immediately realized something was wrong.

"Why? Is it that he's not coming, or that you don't want him to come?"

She stopped and looked up at the figure that only she could see.

His golden, vertical pupils were devoid of emotion. Hearing Wen Ning's words, he merely lifted his eyelids slightly. "Why wouldn't I want him to come?"

This question truly stumped Wen Ning.

Oh right, why doesn't he want Wei Changqing to come to her?

Wei Changqing poses no threat to him?

"Who knows? What if you don't like him?"

Wen Ning shrugged, continued walking forward, and withdrew her gaze.

That's why she missed the fleeting annoyance in Yan Yi's eyes.

She seems to have hit the nail on the head.

I really don't like him.

"Never mind all that. If he doesn't come, he doesn't come. I dare to venture into the City of Slaughter even without him."

Wen Ning had only drunk a little too much, but his mind was still relatively clear, and he did not lose his rationality because of the alcohol.

Under the dim streetlights, a tall, aloof figure walked alone, unaware that a little tail was following behind him.

Yan Yi's attention was initially drawn to Wen Ning, and he didn't notice the figure behind Wen Ning, but now he noticed the other person.

His expression was calm, and he merely glanced behind him, causing the man to freeze in place, not daring to take another step forward.

The oppressive feeling that seemed to tear him apart forced Feng Qi to stop.

He tried desperately to suppress the fear rising deep within him, but to no avail.

No matter how hard he tried to restrain himself, it was to no avail.

He only recovered from the suffocating sense of oppression when Wen Ning's figure completely disappeared.

Feng Qi was panting heavily, cold sweat trickling down his forehead. Before he could recover, he immediately charged forward!

They wanted to confirm Wen Ning's safety.

Soon he saw that familiar figure.

Wen Ning is fine.

What was that oppressive feeling just now?

What kind of person would exert such a strong sense of pressure?

When Wen Ning returned to her room, which she hadn't lived in for a long time, she found that it was exactly the same as when she left, clean and tidy, without a speck of dust.

Clearly, even if they weren't living there, someone was cleaning the room.

Over the next few days, Wen Ning continued his cultivation as usual, taking a few days off to recover from the devastation he had suffered in the Killing City.

After she returned, someone approached her.

It was Liu Chengkong.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Someone she had never expected at all.

Most importantly, Liu Chengkong found her the day after she returned.

Clearly, he was keeping a close eye on the situation at the Spirit Hall.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have known so quickly that Wen Ning had returned.

"You've really grown bold, daring to go to a place like the Killing City. Aren't you afraid of dying?"

This was the first thing Liu Chengkong said to him after he found him.

Wen Ning stared at him without saying a word.

But this didn't stop Liu Chengkong's tirade. "Those who go to places like that are all desperate criminals. Didn't you ever think that you might not come back?"

Seeing that he was about to continue, Wen Ning silenced him with just one sentence: "Are you concerned about me?"

"..."

"Who cares about you? I'm worried you'll lose the Grim Reaper's scythe in a place like Slaughter City!"

Even if the sky falls, Liu Chengkong's mouth will hold it up.

"It's okay, I'm back alive."

Wen Ning's tone was filled with disdain for the City of Slaughter.

"You came all this way just to yell at me?"

Seeing that he didn't bring it up, Wen Ning asked him herself.

"Of course not."

"What are your plans for the future?"

I plan to take a few days off.

"...Rotten wood cannot be carved!"

Liu Cheng came in a huff and left in a huff.

But Wen Ning knew why he left.

I realized I had been too hasty.

She just came back from a place like the Killing City, what's wrong with wanting to rest for a few days?

However, Liu Chengkong came to find her perhaps because he wanted to teach her something new.

After all, she said she was going to learn from Liu Chengkong, but in the end she only learned a few moves.

I didn't learn much at all.

She can study without any problem; she just needs to rest.

A few days later.

"Holy Maiden, someone requests an audience."

A respectful voice suddenly came from behind.

After Bibi Dong designated her as the first in line to succeed the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall and the next Pope, Wen Ning immediately went to the City of Slaughter.

She had no idea what happened after that. When she returned, she found that, apart from Qi Lin and the others, everyone started calling her the Holy Maiden.

This has made Wen Ning feel a little uncomfortable with it now, thinking that it's being called to someone else.

She turned around and asked, "Who?"

He said his name was Wei Changqing.
