Chapter 144: Chapter 101 Uninvited Guest_2

The implication was, did no one else look better than her? Although the reality was indeed so, this remark made her feel even more dejected.

Qiongqi immediately jumped up: "Lord Changtian, although you are always wise and mighty, I, Qiongqi, must say, your statement is open to discussion. Our mistress is also vibrant, a trembling delicate flower, not inferior to this barbarian woman. From my, Qiongqi’s, extensive experience in judging people, our mistress’s face has not fully matured yet, who will be more beautiful in the future is still uncertain..."

She couldn’t help but scold softly: "Shut up!" Delicate flower and such, reminded her of the green-skinned orc aunt character in a spoof animated film, who also described herself as a delicate flower!

However, with Qiongqi’s disruption, looking at that woman again, the initial shocking impact indeed felt much weaker.

The woman looked around, and everyone she glanced at felt ashamed, lowered their heads, and dared not look her in the eyes.

However, Ning Xiaoxian had a very bad premonition. Sure enough, the woman turned her gaze here, and at the same time, stepped forward with her long jade legs. The sound of fine hand-made leather boots clicking on the stairs set a rhythmic beat in the now suddenly silent floor.

"Was he just here?" she asked, her voice not crisp but rather low and magnetic, which quite matched her appearance.

Ning Xiaoxian blinked: "Who?"

"Him." The woman’s gaze focused on the table. There were two sets of bowls and chopsticks, but only one girl was sitting by the table, "Tantai Yi! Did he just run away?" She repeated again, the words "ran away" seemed to be squeezed out between her teeth, clearly the speaker was suppressing her anger.

"Uh..." Tantai had indeed perfectly exemplified the true essence of "running away" with his actions just now, and she saw no need to cover for him, "Yes! Right!"

The woman bit her lower lip, showing a "as I thought" expression, then seated herself uninvited, revealing a stunningly enchanting smile: "May I ask who you are?"

Ning Xiaoxian replied irritatedly: "I’m nobody, just a passerby A!" Who knew the beauty opposite would tilt her head and think, "Passerby A? Is your last name Passerby?"

"..." Are all beauties really not very bright? Yikes, how did she get herself entangled in this?

Ning Xiaoxian blurted out: "No, my last name is Ning... The point is, I have nothing to do with Master Tantai. I only met him once before, and today the restaurant was particularly crowded, he kindly let me share a table for the meal." She did not want to cause any unnecessary misunderstandings, especially since the woman in front of her was no simple character.

She had no doubt that this beauty had already scanned her with Divine Sense before coming over, because Changtian told her that the lady in front of her was not just for show. Her cultivation had actually reached the Peak of the Nascent Soul Stage!

She’s so beautiful, and her cultivation is so high, does she leave any room for other women to live? As Ning Xiaoxian was lamenting, suddenly, Changtian reminded her in a solemn tone: "This woman is from the Chaoyun Sect." She glanced up and indeed saw the embroidery of a cloud pattern on the beauty’s garment.

She is from the Chaoyun Sect!

Ning Xiaoxian’s back instantly broke out in a cold sweat. From the Chaoyun Sect, the only people she had relations with were two. Shi Jishan, with whom she had a life-depending relationship—if the two were face-to-face, Sister Shi would probably stab her once again; Quan Shifang, although nice to her, had already returned to the Sect. Which among these people did this beauty have a closer relationship with?

Sure enough, the woman slightly startled. "You said, your last name is Ning?" Her smile had completely faded now, she articulated word by word: "Is your name Ning, Xiao, Xian?"

Ning Xiaoxian’s heart skipped a beat, yet her face showed confusion: "Of course not. Who is Ning Xiaoxian? My name is Ning Qinghe." In a hurry, she couldn’t think of another name, Sister Tan please don’t mind ha!

The woman took out a piece of Jade from her bosom and placed it on the table, the Jade was emitting a faint red light.

"This piece of Jade has a Spell cast on it called Blood Tracking. There’s a drop of Ning Xiaoxian’s blood on it, and as long as it’s close enough to her, this Jade will glow and heat up." She spoke slowly, "If you are Ning Qinghe, why would it flash and shine?"

Only Shi Jishan would take her blood for such a thing—most likely, she took the blood off her sword after stabbing her at Huang Mansion! At that time, Shi Jishan already hated her to the bone, doing any such thing would not be surprising.

This woman, it turns out, stands on Shi Jishan’s side! Ning Xiaoxian’s heart sank, but she still had to pretend to be nonchalant, laughing: "Maybe it’s malfunctioning?"

Her right hand hidden under the table, tightly grasped Tusk. But facing a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, she didn’t have even a slight chance of winning. Even Changtian was urgently telling her in her ear: "Do not act rashly! Just watch and wait, you can’t beat her!"

The woman stared at her unwaveringly, and after listening, she also smiled: "Perhaps." She stretched out her hand and gently covered Ning Xiaoxian’s wrist. As Ning Xiaoxian was about to withdraw her hand, she found herself unable to move. The shock was extraordinary!

A stream of heat flowed from the other’s hand, moving around her body as if it had a life of its own, and then returned the same way through her wrist.

This was examining her body! Ning Xiaoxian clenched her teeth tightly, tears shimmering in her eyes. This warm stream didn’t harm her body, but it deeply hurt her pride. Faced with a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, she was as powerless as a newborn baby, unable to do anything but let the other do as they wished! A deep sense of humiliation welled up inside her.

All this time, she had been handling affairs deftly with her cleverness and sharpness. Especially since she learned the Life-or-death Technique from whistle, her movements had become increasingly agile, and there was some small pride in her heart. But today, an unintentional action from this woman shattered her pride and self-satisfaction.

In the face of such an absolute difference in strength, let alone fighting back, she couldn’t even choose to die!(To be continued.
