441: Chapter 441 Shameless

Upon hearing that there was a chance, Qian Ning immediately explained.

"My family is away, and they probably won't be back for at least five years. I'll have already returned by then."

Perhaps fearing that Nie Ning would find it troublesome, Qian Ning added, "I have money; I can hire mercenaries to bring me back myself."

"I originally didn't want to take you, but as you can see, Xiaoguang also wants you to come along."

"I have always doted on Xiaoguang, so I can take you with us, but you must follow a few rules."

Nie Ning then began to spout nonsense.

Regardless, everything he said was for the sake of Xiaoguang and to cure Qian Ning; he might as well have had the word 'Good Person' plastered on his face.

...

A quarter of an hour later.

"Alright, that's all."

Nie Ning was tired of talking himself and couldn't help but glance at the dozing Xiaoguang and Qian Ning.

"Are we leaving now?"

Xiaoguang wiped away some drool and asked.

Nie Ning rolled his eyes; what was she even talking about?

Eugene, who was leaning against a tree nearby, couldn't help but find it amusing.

It had to be said that although coming here was indeed a bit troublesome, relaxing occasionally was a decent choice.

Especially while watching Nie Ning spout nonsense with such a straight face.

He looked a bit unreliable, but as a pawn, Nie Ning's optimistic attitude was already better than most others.

At least among the people he had met, few could treat him like an ordinary person; most were obsequious and overly cautious.

"Did you hear what I said?"

Nie Ning asked, looking at the two of them with annoyance.

At this moment, Qian Ning took out a shadow recording stone and said with a pious expression, "I heard it, and I even recorded it. I will definitely watch it repeatedly when I get back."

Upon hearing this, the corner of Nie Ning's mouth twitched slightly.

He felt that compared to himself, Qian Ning was more suited to be a person of the Nales Church.

Aside from his poor health, at least his brain was still sharp.

"You have quite a lot of business; let's finish up quickly and leave."

Eugene straightened his body, stretched, and said.

Nie Ning scratched his cheek, feeling a bit embarrassed: "Um, I dropped two treasures inside the barrier. Can you help me get them back?"

Due to the series of events earlier, he hadn't thought about the bitar clock and the five elements exorcism banner at all.

Now that he remembered, it was naturally best to get them back if possible.

"That's a bit difficult. I fixed that barrier in place, and if I want to undo it, it would require too much power, which would cause a series of adverse consequences."

Eugene spread his hands, indicating his helplessness.

Although undoing it wasn't hard, dealing with the subsequent problems would be.

Not only was he afraid of being discovered by others, but after so many days, the Corruptor within the barrier had likely grown stronger, so opening the barrier casually was not a good idea.

"Then forget it."

Nie Ning waved his hand with a hint of regret.

Anyway, Eugene wouldn't go even if he asked, so it was better to appear generous.

Eugene smiled: "What kind of treasures are they? If I have any, I could give you two."

Upon hearing this, Nie Ning immediately perked up.

"They aren't anything too powerful. One of them can increase cultivation speed by five times, and the other is used to strengthen spatial stability, with a coverage area about the size of that island."

"That's a real pity; I don't have such powerful items."

Eugene said with a hint of apology.

Since Nie Ning liked to spout nonsense, he naturally wouldn't try to force a response.

To him, most people couldn't see his face, so it was perfectly normal for him to be shameless.

Nie Ning immediately got anxious: "Hey, hey, don't be like that! Something slightly worse is fine too; I'm not a greedy person."

"I have a Blue Sea Tide Pearl here that can accelerate your cultivation speed and also give you a certain bonus in comprehending Artistic Conception."

Eugene flipped his hand and produced a cerulean bead.

"That would be great."

Nie Ning's eyes widened, and then a bright smile appeared on his face as he unobtrusively snatched the bead into his hand.

"Can you give me one?"

At this moment, Amivika, who hadn't spoken all day because of what happened yesterday, suddenly asked.

Nie Ning couldn't help but lean back, looking at Amivika in disbelief.

He had thought his own skin was thick enough, but he hadn't expected someone so beautiful to be this shameless.

You have to know, he and the Nales Church were old acquaintances, which was why he could act relatively relaxed.

If it were someone he had just met, even with his thick skin, he wouldn't have been embarrassed to say such a thing.

Eugene looked at the slender, jade-like hand Amivika extended and was momentarily stunned.

Given his current status—and not just now, but even in the past—he had never seen anything like this.

Moreover, as a witch, her rationality should have been fine.

Seeing that Amivika's hand remained extended, Eugene remained silent for a moment before finally taking out a Blue Sea Tide Pearl and handing it over.

Amivika felt a surge of joy and carefully stored the Blue Sea Tide Pearl into her storage ring.

As expected, good things must be fought for by oneself!

"I want one too!"

Upon seeing this, Xiaoguang immediately rushed over.

She had a strong sense for treasures and naturally knew it was a good item, but she hadn't wanted to ask out of pride.

But now that Amivika had taken one, there was no reason for her to just stand there foolishly staring; what if Amivika mocked her for it later?

Xiaoguang seemed to think of something and pulled Qian Ning, who was beside her: "He wants one too."

Nie Ning rubbed his forehead.

What kind of sin had he committed to be surrounded by such weirdos?

Were they all shameless?

Seeing that Eugene actually took out two more beads, Nie Ning twisted and turned as he extended his hand: "Um, could you give me a few more? I want to make a necklace."

After all, these were treasures that could help with comprehending Artistic Conception; who would think they had too many?

Even if he didn't need them, giving them away as gifts would be quite impressive.

Eugene rolled his eyes: "What do you think these are? What do you think I am? A clam farmer?"

If the other party weren't the person designated by the deity, he would have slapped this guy onto the wall long ago.

Fortunately, these were all provided by the deity; after all, even deities had to pay wages when asking people to do things.

If there was nothing, why would anyone work for you?

Upon hearing this, Nie Ning ultimately hadn't reached the level of being truly shameless, so he could only retract his hand dejectedly.

Watching the happy and smug Xiaoguang, Nie Ning sighed in his heart; it was true that only the shameless could get by.

Eugene pursed his lips and calculated in his mind; excluding the four Blue Sea Tide Pearls given away, he still had over a dozen left, along with some other treasures.

'Although it was a bit of an expense, I can still earn some commission. This trip wasn't in vain.'

Thinking of this, Eugene began to look forward to the next time the deity paid wages, or perhaps finding another such pawn so he could skim a bit more off the top.

'It's a pity about that pretty necklace; if I had known, I should have given something else...'
