Chapter 763: Chapter 246: Lone Swan and Guest Star
Just like that, Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong secretly discussed and agreed to alter their previous plan, joining the group of cultivators heading towards White Paper City.
The Yin Soul Black Swamp is rich in waterways, with numerous routes.
The three redwood warships were crowded, and as they were all locals familiar with the environment, they traveled smoothly for a day without any incidents.
Ning Zhuo could not inquire about the ghost clan leader’s name, only hearing the surname Qing from others. Combined with his pale green skin, it seemed quite fitting.
Since the ghost clan leader with the surname Qing said so, he really did arrange for Ning Zhuo to be beside him.
He wanted Ning Zhuo to use the Bone-piercing Crocodile Stomach Bag while he personally acted as Ning Zhuo’s protector.
Ning Zhuo had no intention of doing such a thing.
His appearance and build were disguised due to the Stealing Technique, but his soul could not be. Incidentally, using the Bone-piercing Crocodile Stomach Bag required extracting the soul and diving into the bag.
Once he did this, he would undoubtedly expose himself. Not to mention, leaving the physical body outside while the soul separates poses considerable danger.
This small difficulty wasn’t enough to trouble Ning Zhuo.
He simply put on a stern face and called the ghost clan Golden Core leader by his surname, showing a look of having no choice but to obey a strong entity, yet internally feeling unwilling.
“Commander Qing, when I reach White Paper City, I will use this stomach bag to rest. No need for your excessive attention.”
As a result, the ghost clan Golden Core actually felt relieved: “Jiao Ma, don’t I know your thoughts, boy? You’re still preoccupied with my daughter, fearing that accepting my favor would make it difficult to renege in the future.”
“Hmph.”
“You are of the Human Clan, but my women are of the Ghost Clan. You won’t find happiness combining together.”
“Moreover, what’s wrong with becoming a male concubine? If you become the Lord City Lord’s man, riches and honor will be at your fingertips.”
The ghost clan Golden Core did not forget to persuade Ning Zhuo.
Beside him, Sun Lingtong suppressed a laugh, also teasingly chimed in: “Indeed, Young Master Jiao Ma. Becoming a male concubine is such a great opportunity; others covet but fail to obtain it.”
Ning Zhuo snorted coldly, pointing at Sun Lingtong: “Who are you? Although you saved me, while I’m talking with Commander Qing, did I permit you to interject? Should be slapped mouth!”
Sun Lingtong was momentarily stunned.
Although the ghost clan in the Yin Soul Black Swamp Wetland was larger in scale than the Human Clan, their status was low.
Throughout the cultivation world, the Human Clan is undoubtedly the overlord, with the ghost clan being few in number, only more prevalent in this wetland.
Thus, Ning Zhuo, as a member of the Human Clan, ordering a Foundation Establishment level ghost clan cultivator to be slapped mouth, fit the local characteristics and wasn’t abrupt.
Commander Qing’s gaze flashed slightly, also not saying anything.
For a moment, more than a dozen gazes settled on Sun Lingtong.
Sun Lingtong gritted his teeth, glaring at Ning Zhuo, just about to slap his own mouth when he heard Ning Zhuo waving a hand, asking: “But who am I?”
“I am Jiao Ma, generous, with broad horizons, unlike some who have prejudices dividing the two clans.”
Commander Qing chuckled, knowing Ning Zhuo was humorously speaking, remembering the latter’s pursuit of his daughter, did not get angry.
Ning Zhuo pointed at Sun Lingtong: “Since you saved me, I’ll try to forgive you once.”
“How about this, I see you are short in stature and dark-skinned, like an iron stump; why not change your name to Iron Tuo?”
“I’ll take you as a slave, from now on, you’ll work for me!”
Sun Lingtong resisted the urge to roll his eyes vigorously, thinking to himself: “Alright, alright, is this your plan?”
He obediently kneeled halfway on the ground, cupping fists in obeisance, calling Ning Zhuo master.
Ning Zhuo laughed heartily, beckoning him: “Come, stand by my side, ready to follow my orders anytime.”
“Yes, master.” Sun Lingtong gritted his teeth angrily.
Unexpectedly, this little brat Ning Zhuo was bold beyond measure, making himself acknowledge him as master. This is simply flipping heaven and earth!
“The former Little Zhuo would never be like this. Sigh, after traveling, his heart has become wild. Participated in a great battle, acting recklessly! Hmph, don’t let me find a chance. Once I find a chance, I must deal with him properly!!” Sun Lingtong joked about Ning Zhuo, ending up costing himself, suffering a silent loss, yet couldn’t resist for the time being.
All because he knew Ning Zhuo was also looking for an opportunity to place him by his side, facilitating unified actions later.
Commander Qing saw Ning Zhuo subdue a ghost clan member and extended his Divine Sense, scanning Sun Lingtong up and down.
“A Foundation Establishment mid-stage ghost clan member, serving as your servant, is at least qualified.” Commander Qing nodded slightly, “Just a bit poor.”
Speaking of this, he took out two Magic Artifacts and tossed them to Sun Lingtong.
“These are what I used when I was young; they’re for you to use. One is the Flying Bone Shield, the other is the Soul Killing Blade. One for attack, one for defense, suits you well.”
“You should refine them first, and I’ll teach you the knack of using them.”
Commander Qing saw Ning Zhuo refusing his kindness, so he circumvented, enhancing Ning Zhuo’s “servant” Iron Tuo’s strength.
Sun Lingtong paused, sighing inwardly: “This little Zhuo fellow, he’s more adept at understanding people’s thoughts than I am.”
He quickly grabbed the two Magic Artifacts, loudly expressing gratitude.
Ning Zhuo snorted coldly, showing a hesitant expression but ultimately did not oppose.
Others steered the ships on the journey, while Commander Qing assisted Sun Lingtong, swiftly refining the two Magic Artifacts and taught him how to use them.
Sun Lingtong was clever and wise, with extensive vision, having explored various Magic Artifacts. After all, thieving was his greatest hobby, leading to him possessing numerous Magic Artifacts.
These two Magic Artifacts were clearly Ghost Path, Sun Lingtong quickly mastered them and used them quite adeptly.
This performance made Commander Qing reevaluate Sun Lingtong: “You insignificant-looking short fellow also have some inner talents. From now on, follow your young master well and do your work, understood?”
“Got it.” Sun Lingtong responded moodily.
