Chapter 34: Chapter 33: Really Thick-Skinned

The Demon Beasts frantically tried to stop, but a few were running too fast and crashed right into it.

"It’s over."

Those few Demon Beasts despairingly watched Shi Nian’s terrifying figure.

Especially.

In front of Shi Nian, there was that huge pot and grill set up.

The things being boiled and roasted inside were their companions.

The next moment.

Their souls ascended to heaven; they didn’t feel much pain before they lost consciousness.

Shi Nian gazed at the few Demon Beasts that rushed straight towards her blade, falling into contemplation.

After a long while.

She looked at Mu Nanqing and Lu Zhuoyan.

"Senior Sister, Elder Martial Uncle, please testify for me, this time, they were the ones who attacked first."

Although she wanted to fight back, there was no time, right?

She simply held up her sword, and as a result, these Demon Beasts acted like crockery clashing against her blade, their bodies getting sliced in two.

Faking an attack is by no means commendable behavior!

This group of Demon Beasts, they are utterly morally corrupt.

"I testify, they came throwing themselves at us," Lu Zhuoyan stated.

Shi Nian patted her chest, "That’s good, that’s good."

Lu Zhuoyan flashed a slight smile, his gaze, however, passing through the crowd of Demon Beasts and resting on Li Nanfeng.

His eyes grew slightly cold.

If he hadn’t seen wrong just now, it was Li Nanfeng who had thrown something over, then led all the Demon Beasts to their side.

Indeed, for Shi Nian, these Demon Beasts were just a serving of food.

But Li Nanfeng’s true intention was definitely to kill them.

It seems, the punishment last time was far from enough.

This time.

Those Demon Beasts that had halted their charges turned and fled.

Li Nanfeng and his group were nearby, yet those Demon Beasts didn’t even dare to touch them and fled the Dead Silence Prairie at the fastest speed they had ever achieved in their lives.

The army of Demon Beasts just fled like that.

Shi Nian chose not to pursue, she asked Mu Nanqing, "Senior Sister, do you still have space in your Storage Bag?"

Mu Nanqing looked somewhat troubled, "It’s all full."

Elder Martial Uncle said, besides the flesh, even the bones and scales of these Demon Beasts serve great purposes, she had put most of them into the Storage Bag.

In these days, due to Shi Nian’s relentless slaughter, her Storage Bag was truly stuffed without even a small gap left.

Lu Zhuoyan took out a few storage rings and tossed them to Shi Nian, "These storage rings have a bit more space than the Storage Bag. Wear them."

Shi Nian’s eyes lit up, delightedly putting on all the rings, "Thank you, Elder Martial Uncle."

Just as Shi Nian finished loading the Demon Beast corpses into them.

Li Nanfeng’s gentle voice rang out, "Junior Sister Mu, Junior Sister Shi, are you both alright?"

There was still a trace of shock hidden deep in Li Nanfeng’s eyes.

He couldn’t understand.

Why did those few Demon Beasts suddenly rush towards Shi Nian’s blade edge, acting as if intent on suicide.

And then just like that, they really died?

It is known that once cultivated to a certain level, the scales of these Demon Beasts become extremely hard and not easily penetrated.

Could it be that, the weapon in Shi Nian’s hand is some sort of divine weapon?

What level of treasure must it be, to allow a disciple at the Qi Refinement Realm to slaughter Demon Beasts much higher in level than herself?

"Brother Li," Shi Nian laughed, narrowing her eyes, "We also need to thank you for leading the Demon Beasts to us, otherwise, we wouldn’t have had such a great harvest."

Mu Nanqing also sneered.

Li Nanfeng’s intentions of leading trouble away are all too clear; only a fool would not see through him.

Yet, he still has the audacity to show his face.

When Shi Nian mocked him right to his face, Li Nanfeng did not panic at all, showing a puzzled expression: "Junior Sister, why would you say such a thing?"

Seeing Shi Nian’s cold expression, Li Nanfeng hurriedly added: "Could it be that you suspect, those Demon Beasts were intentionally lured by me? That would be a huge injustice. The elixirs I threw create a mist to help conceal your movements; I was trying to protect you. As soon as the mist formed, most of the Demon Beasts stopped, didn’t they? Only a few of them recklessly charged forward."

"Is that so?" Shi Nian laughed: "I did not expect you, Senior Brother Li, to be so kind-hearted."

Li Nanfeng remained unflustered and spoke gently: "Don’t you trust in your Senior Brother’s character? Ask anyone else; who among them wasn’t saved by me? There’s no reason for me to save strangers yet plot against my own Sect members. Besides, my enduring affection for Nanqing... how could I possibly harm her?"

With these words from Li Nanfeng, others began to speak in his defense.

"The lady must have misunderstood. Brother Li is absolutely a good man."

"Without him, we would have been long gone."

"It must have been his thrown elixir that scared away those Demon Beasts."

"We should be thanking Senior Brother instead."

With a smile, Li Nanfeng bowed to everyone: "Thank you all for your trust. Although that elixir was precious, as long as everyone is safe, no matter how valuable, it is worth it."

Shi Nian looked at Li Nanfeng and couldn’t help but sigh.

This protagonist is indeed a protagonist.

He always has some remarkable traits.

For instance, Li Nanfeng’s skin is extraordinarily thick.

Had it not been for the negative status appearing on her system panel when that elixir exploded, alerting her that for the next hour she would attract particular attention from Demon Beasts,

she might have actually believed Li Nanfeng’s nonsense.

"However, I did still startle the two Junior Sisters." Li Nanfeng looked genuinely apologetic: "For this, your Senior Brother should apologize."

"Brother Li was trying to save people. There’s nothing to apologize for."

"Exactly. If it weren’t for Brother Li, with so many Demon Beasts, probably nobody could have survived."

"We all owe Brother Li our thanks."

The group once again started to buzz with discussion.

Shi Nian coldly watched.

Regarding these people.

She had no liking for them whatsoever.

Just now, when the Demon Beasts approached, these people deliberately ran in this direction.

Li Nanfeng might have been leading them, but didn’t they all harbor thoughts of using others as scapegoats?

To put it straightforwardly.

There isn’t a single good person among them.

Shi Nian recalled the plot of the book.

It’s mentioned briefly in the book, but Shi Nian knows the outcome; in the book, this journey to the Myriad Magic Forbidden Land, in the end, only Li Nanfeng survives and leaves.

And those who spoke eagerly for him...

Shi Nian merely sneered internally, but had no intention of warning them.

"Everyone, don’t say such things." Li Nanfeng spoke righteously: "Helping everyone is what I should do. This is nothing."

Mu Nanqing, now seeing Li Nanfeng’s face only felt irritation, she said directly: "Senior Brother Li, there’s no need for apologies. We have other matters, so let’s part ways here."

Mu Nanqing packed the pots and pans into the Storage Bag, taking Shi Nian, prepared to leave.

Li Nanfeng’s gaze flickered, but his eyes rested on the treasure sword in Shi Nian’s hand.

He had seen with his own eyes, several terrifying Demon Beasts that crashed to their deaths against Shi Nian’s sword.

Shi Nian is only in the Qi Refinement Realm, her own strength is negligible.

This sword must have some trick to it.

Considering the Ling Tian Sword Master’s favoritism towards Shi Nian, would he really let Shi Nian enter the Myriad Magic Forbidden Land unprepared?

This sword!

It’s definitely a treasure.

Li Nanfeng concealed the greed in his heart, and spoke: "Junior Sister Mu, this place is indeed too dangerous. As fellow members of the Divine Martial Sect, in such a place, we should watch out for one another. What if we move together?"
