Chapter 144
Imperial Capital, within the Wolf Fang Headquarters.
As soon as Ning Cheng came back, he sent Lin Guangming and Lin Wan'er here, and left the rest of the investigation to the rest of Langya, because he had more important things to do now.
"Instructor Ningcheng!"
A surprised voice came from the distance.
"Old Zhou?" Ning Cheng's eyes lit up and he walked over immediately and said, "Okay, your body recovers very quickly!"
"Haha!" Lao Zhou looked around, and then whispered, "Isn't that your wonderful rejuvenation? But don't worry, I won't talk nonsense!"
"Hehe, thanks!"
"Thank you! Remember, if we come back to Quan City in time, we will have a drink together, so we can't be so private!" Lao Zhou said cheerfully.
"That's for sure!" Ning Cheng patted Lao Zhou on the shoulder, and then said with a smile, "Then I'll go out first. When this time is over, I promise to go to Quancheng to meet you for a drink."
"Okay! Then I'll wait for you!"
Ning Cheng ended his conversation with Lao Zhou. He found that along the way, the Langya team members in the headquarters seemed to respect him very much, with a fanatical light in their eyes!
...
After leaving the Langya headquarters, Ning Cheng went straight to Xiaoxia's residence. It seemed that nothing had changed here, it was still the same thatched house.
The door was ajar. Ning Cheng knocked and found no response inside.
He poked his head and peeked inside, only to find that no one seemed to be there.
"Hey, who asked you to peek here!" A voice shouted, and Ning Cheng immediately felt his back was extremely hot and he immediately moved away!
"Xiao Xia, are you back?" Ning Cheng patted his back, not thinking that he had been hit by Xiao Xia's fireball attack again.
Xiaoxia waved the flames in her hand and said with a smile, "If you like me, just tell me. There is no need to peep, right?"
"Uh, hehe." Ning Cheng smiled. When he saw Xiaoxia carrying another pile of herbs on her shoulders, he immediately walked over, grabbed the medicine basket, and said, "I'll do this."
"Huh, you know what's going on." There was a smile in Xiaoxia's eyes, and she jumped into the house.
Ning Cheng carried the basket of medicine on his back, not caring about his image at all. As soon as he entered the door, he poured a glass of water for Xiaoxia, and then said, "Remember to tell me when you pick medicine in the future, and I will help you carry the stuff."
"Humph, really? It's as if the world has disappeared these days, and you still have the nerve to ask for help?" Xiao Xia rolled her eyes at Ning Cheng.
"Am I not contributing to the development of China?" Ning Cheng said righteously.
"Really? Do you want to contribute together with Cao Shuang?" Xiao Xia asked, staring at Ning Cheng.
"I...I..." Ning Cheng didn't know what to say. He had already planned to ask about the Spiritual Transformation Pill in his next sentence, but now that Xiao Xia asked him like this, he no longer had the confidence.
"Hmph, if you please, I'm going to take a shower." Xiaoxia stood up, took a set of clothes and walked into the bathroom without taking Ning Cheng seriously at all.
"I'm a man, right?" Ning Cheng smiled bitterly and shook his head. He had seen the bathroom in Xiaoxia's thatched house before. There was no door at all, just a curtain.
Maybe...
Of course, it is absolutely impossible for Ning Cheng to commit such an act of seeking death. He has never understood Xiao Xia's strength. Wouldn't it be a tragedy if Xiao Xia accidentally dealt with him?
But Xiaoxia, who was in the bathroom, had another thought.
"Hmph, I don't believe that my beauty can't attract a little Ning Cheng!" Xiao Xia thought to herself.
So, ten minutes later.
"Ning Cheng, I didn't bring a bath towel. Please bring it for me." Xiaoxia's voice came from the bathroom.
Ning Cheng, who was sitting on a chair reading a book, suddenly noticed something strange. He held his breath, tried his best to control his breath, and walked towards the door.
"The towel is no longer outside the door, it's in the closet, hurry up!!!" Xiaoxia's impatient voice came from the bathroom.
"Ahem, I just went out to get some fresh air." Ning Cheng smiled, and then walked into the closet. As soon as he opened it, there was a burst of fragrance, but Ning Cheng didn't have much time to appreciate the spring scenery in the closet.
Taking out a towel, Ning Cheng came to the bathroom and said, "Okay, here you go."
Xiaoxia looked as if her plot had succeeded, and said in a leisurely manner, "How is it? Are the clothes in this lady's wardrobe sexy?"
"Ahem, cough, cough." Ning Cheng coughed a few times and then said, "I didn't see clearly."
"What! You didn't see clearly!" Xiaoxia was so angry that she opened the curtain directly.
"Holy shit." Ning Cheng immediately turned his head, but at that moment he seemed to see something, so he turned back again.
"Didn't you already put on your clothes?" Ning Cheng looked at Xiao Xia and asked helplessly.
"What? You want a bath towel all of a sudden?" Xiaoxia pouted and said, "You're not really gay, are you?"
Ning Cheng's head was full of black lines and he said, "I tell you, sooner or later I will deal with you!"
"What did you say?" A trace of fire flowed from Xiaoxia's fingertips.
"It's nothing." Ning Cheng felt miserable in his heart. He had to bow his head under the eaves. What's more, he not only wanted to convert the spiritual elixir, but also planned for Xiaoxia to teach him some knowledge of alchemy, so Ningcheng only wanted to treat Xiaoxia
Able to admit cowardice.
"That's pretty much it." Xiaoxia nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Ning Cheng, I'm hungry, go buy me food and cook."
"How about going back to the courtyard to eat? It just so happens that I haven't seen Xiao Zhong Ling and Xiao Fang for a few days, so it's just a good time to have a meal." Ning Cheng suggested.
"That's okay. Anyway, you can cook more delicious food. I want to replenish my energy." Xiaoxia had a jade bottle in her hand at some point and waved it in front of Ning Cheng's eyes.
"This is?" Ning Cheng asked uncertainly.
"What? Don't want it? Then I'll throw it away." Xiaoxia just raised his hand and planned to throw it out.
"Hey, Xiaoxia, don't get excited! I want it, I want it!" Ning Cheng said immediately.
"Hmph, that's pretty much it." Xiaoxia threw the jade bottle in front of Ning Cheng and said, "The materials are limited and I can only refine one Spirit Transformation Pill, so you make do with it."
Ning Cheng opened the jade bottle, and for a moment he felt that the air had suddenly become colder. There was a blue pill lying quietly inside the bottle.
"Xiao Xia, thank you!" Ning Cheng carefully put away the bottle and said seriously.
"Humph, it's good to know, then cook well for me!" Xiaoxia seemed indifferent on the surface, but in fact, she was very helpful.
Ning Cheng bowed deeply. In fact, he was really grateful to Xiaoxia from the bottom of his heart. Although Ning Cheng had regarded her as a very good friend, there was no need for her to interfere with the Li family.
There is something about the Cao family.
Xiaoxia's refining of the Spirit Transformation Pill this time can certainly save the Cao family's life, but if it destroys the good things of the Li family, it will definitely cause constant trouble!
Seemingly sensing Ning Cheng's hesitation, Xiao Xia frowned and said, "For a grown man, mother-in-law and mother-in-law? Hurry up and prepare, I want to eat!"
"Yeah, that's right." Ning Cheng nodded. He was not an indecisive person, so he immediately threw away this idea.
Chapter completed!
