Chapter 201 The Female Immortal Cultivator Wasteful 7
"Wife, breakfast is ready."
Lin Ruan walked out of the room neatly dressed, but there was no sign of Chu Zhezhi behind her.
He knelt for the entire night. When Lin Ruan woke up, she discovered that her teeth were bleeding from being bitten by him.
She put away the teacup and let Chu Zhezhi help her wash up. Only then did Lin Ruan show mercy and allow Chu Zhezhi to rest during the day.
"Wife, where is Brother Zhezhi?" Shuang Wuchen was still young and well-behaved after all, so Lin Ruan had never punished him.
Then a word hit Lin Ruan's gunpoint.
She glanced at Shuang Wuchen with a half-smile and said, "You call him so affectionately. Your brother Zhezhi is not feeling well, so I sent him back to his room to rest. Why, do you want to go and take care of him personally?"
Frost Wuchen stood up from his chair at a loss, and said timidly: "My wife..."
Gu Lianxing and Luo Yunzhen also quickly stood up. They were quite perceptive and could figure out Lin Ruan's personality. They didn't even dare to breathe.
"If you hadn't called me wife, I would have thought you and Chu Zhezhi were a couple."
Lin Ruan was furious, and the huge blame was placed on Shuang Wuchen. He knelt down and banged his head heavily on the ground, crying and trembling, he said: "My wife, please understand, Wuchen and Zhe...Brother Chu absolutely do not have that kind of relationship."
Lin Ruan looked at him nonchalantly and asked lightly, "Are you saying that I am wronging you?"
This is a question that is attacked from both sides and has no answer at all.
"Wife, servant...slave..."
"You've been with me for a year, and you haven't even learned how to read people's expressions? You don't know what it means to be knowledgeable and tactful, you bastard. Go back to your room and reflect on yourself. Come out tomorrow."
"Yes, yes, I will obey your orders."
Shuang Wuchen crawled back to his room, first curled up in bed and shook for a while, then suddenly remembered Lin Ruan's words asking him to reflect on himself, so he quickly got out of bed and knelt on the ground obediently.
Lin Ruan looked over, and Gu Lianxing and Luo Yunzhen subconsciously tensed their bodies.
"Why don't you sit down and wait for me to treat you?"
"Thank you, my wife." He quickly signaled Luo Yunzhen to sit down with his eyes. Gu Lianxing smiled and picked up the dishes while carefully turning the topic to the auction held in Lancheng today.
"There are five major families in Lan City: the Lan, Shi, Xue, Zhou, and Wang families. However, the Xue family has long since fallen into decline. I estimate that in a year or two, there will only be four major families left in Lan City."
Lin Ruan became interested and asked, "Is this auction in Lancheng famous?"
"In the past three hundred years, each of the five auctions has seen Heaven-grade items, and today will surely be no exception. My wife also knows that Heaven-grade items are not allowed to be sold outside. The only thing to blame is the four remaining families in Lan City who are greedy and have forced the head of the Xue family into a corner. He would rather exchange Heaven-grade items for spirit stones to prolong his life than let others get away with it."
Listening to Gu Lianxing's talk, the system asked: "Ruanruan, why do you think Gu Lianxing knows so much about Lancheng?"
"Do I need to guess? Chu Zhezhi told him."
"How come you always guess right?"
"Among my three husbands, Chu Zhezhi is the most meticulous and thorough. After all, the Chu family master originally trained him as the mistress of the house. However, the Chu family master is both his success and his failure. In order to gain benefits through him, the Chu family master deliberately cultivated a close relationship between him and his father. Humph, if she wants to control me, she will die!"
After talking to the system in his mind, he said to Gu Lianxing: "Okay, let's go take a look."
Lin Ruan brought Gu Lianxing to the auction. The venue was already packed with cultivators of all kinds. On the auction table, treasures were displayed one after another, attracting bids from the crowd.
Soon, a low-grade Heavenly Rank sword was brought up. A cold light shone from the blade, and faint spiritual energy emanated from it. The host introduced it, "This sword is called the 'Spiritual Sky Sword,' a low-grade Heavenly Rank magical weapon. Its sharp edge can pierce through many defenses and amplify the wielder's swordsmanship."
Lin Ruan's eyes lit up. The grade of this sword wasn't considered high in her eyes, but the unique technique used in its crafting was something she had never seen before. It just so happened that she was in need of a weapon she could carry around.
The swords she used in the space were either immortal or heavenly.
A sword of earth quality...
The people around him began to get excited, bidding one after another. The price soared all the way, and soon reached an astonishing figure.
Gu Lianxing glanced at Lin Ruan worriedly and said softly, "Wife, this price is already very high."
Lin Ruan smiled and said, "Consider it my mercy and extend the Xue family's life."
After saying this, she continued to raise the price.
Gu Lianxing didn't know whether Lin Ruan really liked the sword, or was really kind-hearted, or was simply enjoying the pleasure of spending a large amount of spirit stones.
Finally, after fierce competition, Lin Ruan successfully won the Lingxiao Sword. She held the sword, feeling the spiritual power on it, and felt very satisfied.
"Remember to remind me that after the Tianying Tournament is over, have Chu Zhezhi research the techniques used to forge this sword."
"Yes, I'll take note of it." Gu Lianxing said respectfully.
"You've been watching the auction with me for such a long time, but I didn't see what you wanted?" Lin Ruan asked with a raised eyebrow.
Luo Yunzhen was a very well-behaved and timid person. He kept shaking his head while saying "I don't have any servants".
Gu Lianxing smiled and said, "Everything that belongs to the servant is decided by the mistress. If the mistress doesn't give any reward, it means that the thing is not what the servant wants."
Lin Ruan was amused by his logic. She stretched out her finger and gently tapped Gu Lianxing's forehead, saying, "You are quite obedient."
Gu Lianxing said, "If my wife doesn't want to buy anything, why not take the servants with you to the various restaurants in Lancheng to have a look? The Tianying Tournament usually lasts for a month, and during this month, the husbands are required to cook for my wife. I want to see if there are any restaurants in Lancheng that have dishes that my wife likes. If there are, my wife can just pack the dishes or buy the ingredients and have the servants cook them. In short, don't let my wife suffer during the competition."
Lin Ruan smiled and said, "It's amazing that you're so thoughtful. Come on, I'll take you there."
The three of them came to a popular restaurant. The waiter brought the menu and Lin Ruan handed it directly to Gu Lianxing.
Gu Lianxing selected several dishes according to Lin Ruan's taste and told the waiter to prepare ten servings of each dish to take away.
Gu Lianxing rewarded the waiter with another medium-grade spirit stone, carefully inquired about the special dishes of other restaurants in Lancheng, and carefully wrote down the dishes that Lin Ruan might like. He planned to buy them one by one if Lin Ruan was still willing to accompany them.
If Lin Ruan wanted to go back to the villa, he would send his servant to buy it.
The actual venue of the Tianying Tournament is in the Monster Forest of Lan City, but the entrance is in the square in the center of Lan City.
The guards of the five major families stood in front of the portal, carefully checked Lin Ruan's registration form, and confirmed the cultivation levels of the four husbands behind her. Then they made way for the portal and invited Lin Ruan to step in.
In a flash, the four of them arrived at the center of the Strange Beast Forest.
The competition was simple: kill exotic beasts. The scoring rules for the Nascent Soul stage were: a fourth-tier exotic beast carcass counted for one point, a beast core counted for two points, and the points multiplied tenfold for each additional tier. Killed exotic beasts could also be taken home, but taking them did not count towards the points.
"They're using us as a free hunting team." Lin Ruan stabbed a fourth-level alien beast to death with a sword and complained with a smile.
After carefully examining Lin Ruan's expression, Shuang Wuchen smiled and said, "Everyone says so, but only the top ten in the preliminary round can go to Tianxuan City to participate in the finals. My wife, I heard that the rewards for the top three in the finals are very good."
Lin Ruan raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Tell me, what's the reward?"
Shuang Wuchen's eyes sparkled, "I heard that the top three finalists will get a chance to enter the Gu family's secret realm."
Lin Ruan: Thank you. I've looked at the secret realm system, but there's nothing good there.
Seeing that Lin Ruan was not interested, Gu Lianxing comforted her, "Wife, there are several kinds of exotic beasts in the Gu family's secret realm that are not found outside. I have had the honor of seeing mother eat them several times, and I have never forgotten the taste."
Lin Ruan looked at Gu Lianxing suspiciously: "Is it really that delicious?"
If it's true, we have to catch a few and raise them in the space.
Now there are many exotic beasts in her space, some of which are super good-looking, and some are very much to Lin Ruan's taste.
"How dare a servant deceive his wife?"
"Just getting into the top ten is enough, right?"
Chu Zhezhi also smiled and said, "That being said, my wife, the prize for first place in this preliminary round is a pair of eighth-level Moon Rabbits, which are only found in the Lan Family Secret Realm throughout the Tianxuan Continent. Although Moon Rabbits are only ninth-level, they are gentle, cute, and taste very good."
He lowered his voice slightly and whispered, "The most important thing is that Moon Rabbit's beast core contains a trace of chaotic energy, which will be very beneficial to you, my wife."
The fact that Lin Ruan was a Chaos Spiritual Root was known to all the husbands.
She originally participated in the competition to prevent Lin Cheng from being excluded by other families, but she didn't expect that she just wanted to lie down and her husbands tempted her to make progress.
"Okay, I'll try my best. You guys should also fight for my dignity. Don't let me fight against the fourth-level monster."
As the four were talking, suddenly a fifth-level monster roared and rushed out of the woods. Trees broke wherever its huge body passed.
Lin Ruan: So let’s just go for a level five one, right?!
Damn, here comes the sword!
Suddenly, several fourth-level monsters came running from all directions.
Gu Lianxing, Chu Zhezhi and Shuang Wuchen immediately took up their positions and prepared to fight.
The three of them tacitly assigned the exotic beasts: Gu Lianxing was responsible for two, and the remaining three were responsible for one each.
Chu Zhezhi unleashed the Red Mulberry Flame Crystal Bow, the flame runes flickered, and the arrow, carrying the blazing fire enhanced by the Flame Bird, shot towards the strange beast;
Shuang Wuchen threw out the Jade Willow Spirit Crystal Chain, which quickly wrapped around the limbs of the strange beast, and then threw a large number of various attack talismans at it;
Gu Lianxing held his natal sword and first used the Qingtan Shadow Ring to break the monster's defense, and then used the sword to attack the monster's vital points.
Luo Yunzhen, on the other hand, used a beast fire called Wanwusheng that Lin Ruan had given him. This beast fire, if used normally, could only be used for healing and had no offensive effect.
But the birth of all things can also be understood as all things are born for me.
As long as you recite the mantra in reverse, you can plunder the enemy's vitality and replenish your own spiritual power.
Lin Ruan watched from the side and nodded slightly, quite satisfied with their performance.
"Well done, keep it up." Lin Ruan said with a smile.
Night fell in the blink of an eye, and the five of them found an open space. Shuang Wuchen was responsible for massaging Lin Ruan's shoulders and legs, Chu Zhezhi was responsible for setting up camp, and Gu Lianxing and Luo Yunzhen were responsible for cooking and making soup for Lin Ruan.
Linruan... Linruan is responsible for enjoying.
She closed her eyes and said gently, "Since this competition lasts for a month, you'll be hunting fourth- and fifth-tier prey for the first half. Although fifth-tier prey are at the Spiritual Transformation stage, as long as you work together well, you might be able to take them down. In the second half of the month, I'll charge directly into the center of the Exotic Beast Forest and strive to take first place."
Shuang Wuchen was like a little dog, grinning and showing a small canine tooth, and flattered sweetly: "My wife is in charge of the overall planning, and everything is up to you."
Lin Ruan felt itchy after hearing this.
Want to hit him.
"My dear wife, the meal is ready." Gu Lianxing walked over and said respectfully.
"Just leave it here, I'm too lazy to move it."
"it is good."
While Gu Lianxing was moving the food to the table, Shuang Wuchen quickly took out a wet cotton cloth from his ring and carefully wiped Lin Ruan's hands.
Lin Ruan was actually sitting in the open space, with the fur of an exotic animal spread out beneath her. She ate while chatting with the four people, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
If you ignore the four people who were kneeling on the ground, it could indeed be considered a happy occasion.
After dinner, Lin Ruan went into the tent. It was more like a simple house divided into an inner and outer room than a tent.
This room is a magic tool made by Chu Zhezhi. It is usually only the size of a walnut, but when injected with spiritual power, it can become the same as an ordinary house.
Chu Zhezhi even prepared a bathtub and filled it with water for Lin Ruan to take a bath.
Lin Ruan sat in the bathtub, chatting with the system with his eyes closed.
She sighed, "Actually, I was quite disappointed when I first came to this world. I didn't expect this world of immortal cultivation to be so poor. I thought becoming the lord of a city would give me a place to stay, and I could live like this for the rest of my life. Anyway, it's impossible to truly ascend to heaven, and if I cultivate again, I'll only reach the Great Perfection of the Tribulation Crossing Stage."
System: "Listen, are you speaking human language?"
Lin Ruan: "I didn't expect the laws of nature in this world to be so kind. The men are all sensible, speak well, and act thoughtfully. I don't even have to do it myself when I want to punish them. Oh~ I'm so happy here, Seventeen, you've corrupted me."
System: "Oh, then what?"
"Seventeen, don't worry. When I dominate the entire world of immortal cultivation one day, I will definitely not forget your contributions. I will appoint you as my personal chief steward."
System·Expressionless·System: "The last time you dominated the world of immortal cultivation, you used me as your guide for hundreds of years."
"Oh, oh, Seventeen, don't worry about those details. This time, it will definitely be different."
"Heh, if you can get into the top three in the finals without having to surpass the Nascent Soul stage, I'll use my points to buy you a gift from the system store."
Lin Ruan: "Seventeen, does it matter to you whether I enter the secret realm or not?"
System: "No, I just find you idling away your time like this and it's annoying."
It hopes that Lin Ruan can live a happier life, but it also doesn't want Lin Ruan to be so happy.
She is too lazy and has no goals to strive for. She will soon get tired of this world.
I will get tired of the endless journey.
Tired of eternal life.
Tired of it.
