Chapter 56: What Kind of Mess Is This!

Below the Qingling Sect lay Taoyuan Town.

Taoyuan Town was comparable in scale to a city, housing the largest Myriad Treasures Pavilion and auction house in the north.

Ning Shengsheng hadn’t visited a trading place since she transmigrated. She felt like an elementary school student going on a spring field trip—eager and full of anticipation.

“Shall we set off?” she asked Xue Chen.

Xue Chen nodded, glancing at her cheeks flushed with excitement. “Princess, did you tell His Majesty?”

“No.” Ning Shengsheng shook her head. “We’re just going out to buy some spiritual herbs and will be back in half a day. Let’s not tell him for now.”

The main reason was that Ning Xuan had been targeting Xue Chen recently. She was afraid the two of them would start fighting, putting her in a difficult position.

“Alright.”

The two of them walked out of the courtyard, one after the other.

Just as they were about to head down the mountain, a sinister voice came from behind them. “Where are you two going behind my back~?”

Ning Shengsheng jumped in fright and almost fell. She turned around stiffly and waved her small hand. “Hi, Older Brother. Why did you suddenly come out?”

“Can I not come out?” Ning Xuan’s eyes were cold as ice. “Am I interrupting your good time?”

He had asked Shuangxi to keep watch yesterday. Sure enough, this kid Xue Chen had too many tricks up his sleeve and wanted to go out alone with his sister.

His heart was punishable!

“Older Brother, I don’t understand what you’re saying.”

Ning Shengsheng thought to herself, This is bad. If Ning Xuan tagged along, what if they disagreed and started fighting? Who would she help?

“Whether you understand or not, wherever you go today, I am following.”

After a long while, seeing she hadn’t moved, Ning Xuan urged, “Aren’t we going out? Let’s go!”

Ning Shengsheng was grabbed by the collar by her own brother and hoisted onto his majestic Thunder and Lightning Lion.

The noble Emperor of Great Ning glanced sideways at Xue Chen and sneered.

“Boy, you walk.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he commanded the Thunder and Lightning Lion to dash several zhang away.

“Brother, take Xue Chen along! Ahhh~~~”

Ning Shengsheng’s shout dissipated in the wind.

There was no anger in Xue Chen’s eyes. With a smile at the corner of his mouth, he snapped his fingers, and a long sword flew over.

The long sword hovered steadily at his feet.

Ning Shengsheng sighed. “Older Brother, why are you targeting Xue Chen? He’s already pitiful enough.”

Moreover, they couldn’t afford to offend Xue Chen!

“I’m targeting him?” Ning Xuan gritted his teeth in anger. “That kid clearly wants to seduce you.”

“You are my, Great Ning’s, princess. is he worthy?”

“If he sincerely wants to be with you, he should have the ability to take back Heavenly Phoenix. I look down on the weak.”

Ugh…

Knowing the plot, Ning Shengsheng moved her lips but didn’t say anything.

Ning Xuan’s words were practically a prophecy. Not only would Heavenly Phoenix belong to Xue Chen, but the Demon Realm and Great Ning would eventually be his too.

Ning Xuan thought his sister had figured it out, and his worried heart relaxed slightly. He reminded himself to put the trip to the Hundred Herb Valley to ask for pills on the agenda. Only cultivation could ensure self-preservation.

In the future, he would urge his sister to cultivate diligently.

The siblings were each lost in their own thoughts.

“Your Highness…”

The Thunder and Lightning Lion was speeding forward when a clear, boyish voice sounded in Ning Shengsheng’s ear.

Was it an illusion?

She opened her eyes, which were uncomfortable from the wind, and turned her head to see Xue Chen standing on a flying sword.

His posture was relaxed as he said lazily, “Princess, do you want to ride the flying sword with me?”

Her eyes lit up instantly!

Not experiencing sword flight would be a disgrace to transmigrating into a cultivation novel!

“Yes, yes, yes!”

“Older Brother, tell the Thunder and Lightning Lion to stop.”

Ning Shengsheng ignored Ning Xuan’s resentful gaze. Her mind was filled with the cool image of riding a sword into the wind.

Ning Xuan looked at Xue Chen, a sharp glint appearing in his eyes, his gaze carrying a warning.

Xue Chen pretended not to see it.

He controlled the flying sword to approach the Thunder and Lightning Lion, reached out, and scooped Ning Shengsheng over. Amidst her exclamations of surprise, Xue Chen supported her waist, and she stood firmly.

“Your Majesty, we will wait for you in Taoyuan Town.”

“Wow, this is so exhilarating! Hahahahahaha…”

The flying sword carried the two of them further and further away.

The corner of Ning Xuan’s mouth twitched. He pulled out his intrinsic magical artifact. “Why didn’t I learn swordsmanship in the beginning?”

“Why did I choose a long spear?”

Flying on a sword was cool; flying on a spear looked a bit silly.

His face turned ashen as he said in a deep voice, “When I get back, I’m forging a flying sword that doesn’t require spiritual energy to control.”

“Besides, a spear is much cooler than a sword.”

His sister was also a person of mundane tastes.

Ning Xuan flew to Taoyuan Town, cursing all the way.

He headed straight for the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.

As soon as he entered, he saw Xue Chen, eyes smiling, diligently introducing how to buy things in the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.

“Sinister little thief.”

He cursed in a low voice and walked to Ning Shengsheng’s side.

“Whatever An’an wants, Older Brother will buy it for you.” After speaking, he looked at Xue Chen provocatively.

A poor hostage prince, what money did he have?

“Xue Chen already helped me buy it all!”

Ning Shengsheng smiled until her eyes curved, taking out a brand new storage pouch filled with spiritual herbs and fruits.

Ning Xuan: “……”

Is it too late for me to buy the Myriad Treasures Pavilion now?

Having finally gotten out, Ning Shengsheng was in high spirits and wanted to stroll through the market.

The result.

It was like she had hired two door gods.

On the left was Ning Xuan, who looked like he hated everyone, and on the right was Xue Chen, wearing a faint smile but harboring ulterior motives.

When the commoners saw them, they walked around them. One look and they knew these two were not to be trifled with.

The market became deserted. What was the fun in strolling down a street with no people?

“I say…”

Ning Shengsheng put her hands on her hips, unable to bear it any longer. “Why don’t you two just fight it out?”

“I don’t care who lives or dies anymore.”

Do whatever you want.

Seeing his sister truly angry, Ning Xuan turned his head and forced out a “friendly” smile.

Ning Shengsheng thought things would finally quiet down for a while.

Unexpectedly.

Ning Xuan smiled and said, “Since An’an said so, then let’s have a fight. Come on.”

Xue Chen nodded: “Okay.”

Ning Shengsheng: Hey, wait, no?

No wonder her brother broke up with Yun Huaiyue dozens of times. He had absolutely no ability to read the room.

If he didn’t get dumped, who would?

Ning Shengsheng slapped her forehead; her head hurt terribly. “Suit yourselves, just don’t kill anyone.”

Ning Xuan’s phoenix eyes burned with raging fire.

Xue Chen was emotionally stable and invited Ning Xuan to fight in the nearby mountains, as there were too many commoners here. It would be easy to hurt the innocent.

In the blink of an eye, the two disappeared into the horizon.

Ning Shengsheng found a place to sit, resting her chin in her hands as she complained, “What kind of mess is this! The Evil Tyrant and the Sinister Villain, how did they turn into five-year-old kids?”

Men were just unreliable!

She pounded her calves and planned to continue strolling.

Suddenly.

A sack was thrown over her head, and her vision went black.

Ning Shengsheng was knocked unconscious with a stick.

Before she fainted, she was still thinking: I wonder if those two men who started fighting because of me will realize I’ve been kidnapped.

This. Is. Just. Ridiculous!
