475: Chapter 475 Sneaky

"What you said is not right."

Upon hearing this, Nie Ning immediately became unhappy.

"Who gave you the Changling Pill used to increase your promotion chances? Where did the whole bottle of Jiyi Pill for comprehending Artistic Conception come from? And..."

Before Nie Ning could finish his sentence, Amivika shyly hugged Nie Ning's arm.

"I'm just worried about you. Besides, being a kept man doesn't sound good. Once you become stronger, others will gossip about you."

Most importantly, every time Nie Ning returned, he looked like he still had more to do, which annoyed anyone who saw it!

Nie Ning turned around, placed his hands on Amivika's shoulders, and looked at her with deep affection: "For you all, suffering a little is worth it."

'Ugh~'

Xiaoguang, standing nearby, suddenly started retching.

Seeing everyone looking over, Xiaoguang waved his hand: "Don't mind me, I just ate too much. You guys continue, continue."

"Let me help you upstairs to rest."

Qian Ning couldn't listen to it anymore either, so he helped Xiaoguang walk upstairs.

"Alright, I won't say anything more. In the future, I don't want to hear you badmouthing Wizard Amanla. Do you hear me?"

Nie Ning continued, looking at Amivika.

"Alright, take care of yourself."

Amivika responded with a forced smile.

Nie Ning nodded, then flew out of the house.

Watching Nie Ning's retreating back, Amivika's expression turned gloomy.

Just wait, once I grow to the seventh rank, I will definitely tear both of Amanla's mouths apart!

...

Nie Ning wove between the various islands, his gaze rapidly scanning the surroundings.

He had just offended that ninth-rank Huiyuan Turtle; if the other party acted unreasonably and ambushed him, it would be disastrous.

However, hiding was certainly not the solution. After all, one cannot live without eating.

Without cultivation resources, even if he had heaven-defying abilities, it would be difficult for him to grow in a short period.

Just as Nie Ning was observing his surroundings, a figure secretly snuck up behind him.

Nie Ning's eyes were instantly filled with numerous heterochromatic pupils, and he drew the xueyan bladeless from his waist, sweeping it horizontally behind him.

The blade was wrapped in white light, and the white blade energy struck directly at the newcomer.

Seeing this, the other person hurriedly raised a shield to block, but was still sent flying by the white blade energy, crashing into the floating island opposite.

"Hey, hey, it's me, it's me."

Seeing Nie Ning about to attack again, the man in the dust hurriedly shouted.

Upon hearing this, Nie Ning slowly sheathed the xueyan bladeless.

Immediately after, a man with golden hair and a black cloak flew out of the dust.

"What's wrong today? You seem a bit hot-tempered."

The man said with a frivolous expression and a playful smile.

"Nothing, I thought someone wanted to ambush me."

Nie Ning shook his head slightly, but a flicker of vigilance flashed in his eyes.

Over these past two months, Nie Ning hadn't just been idling; he had more or less gotten to know some Transcendents.

After all, they were all people with superior aptitude, so communicating wasn't as difficult as it would be with those who didn't understand the field, and they all understood the logic that two heads are better than one.

Therefore, apart from cultivation and experiments, many people would occasionally come out to have a meal or something, exchanging recent cultivation insights and experimental ideas, and so on.

The other person was named Wandru, a wizard who appeared to be only at the fifth rank.

As for why it was only on the surface, it was because although his Malice Perception had no use here, the extraordinary senses granted by his Strange Beast Body were reminding him that the other person was dangerous.

As for how dangerous, Nie Ning wasn't quite sure, but it was said that the other person had been like this as early as ten years ago.

And having remained at this rank for so long without being sent out by the Extreme Phase Demon Palace, the other party either had something to hide or had someone protecting them from behind.

"With your reaction, one would think you were being hunted by a ninth-rank expert."

Wandru patted Nie Ning's shoulder and said with a playful smile.

"You guessed right. I really did offend a ninth-rank expert from the sect recently. You'd better stay away from me."

Nie Ning reached out and brushed Wandru's hand off his shoulder, saying expressionlessly.

One could only say, he guessed really accurately!

Could this guy have been hiding near his house, peeping?

"What are you saying? If you really could offend a ninth-ranker, that's your ability. If you offended someone based on your ability, what's there to fear?"

Wandru obviously didn't believe Nie Ning's words and continued to joke.

"Why are you looking for me?"

Nie Ning didn't continue this topic. Once the ninth-rank Huiyuan Turtle came after him, this guy probably wouldn't be able to laugh anymore.

Wandru looked around sneakily, then secretly took out a black diamond-shaped crystal from his bosom.

"I'll give you something good."

Nie Ning took a strange look at it.

As his Spiritual Power swept over the diamond-shaped crystal, Nie Ning realized what it was and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Heritage Crystal?"

Heritage Crystals were generally items used to record certain important knowledge.

Because they possessed good rune affinity, the things that could be stored inside were not simple, and various forces used them for sect inheritance.

"You know your stuff. There are good things inside. I only brought this out because I like you."

Wandru quickly stuffed the diamond-shaped crystal into Nie Ning's bosom, and before leaving, he didn't forget to sneakily observe if anyone was watching.

Seeing this, Nie Ning's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Forget it, you should keep such a precious thing yourself."

Acting like a thief, he wouldn't dare take it even if given to him.

He had just offended the ninth-rank Huiyuan Turtle; if this brat Wandru had stolen the Heritage Crystal from somewhere else, he wouldn't be able to handle being targeted again.

"What are you afraid of? This is my own item. I'm only giving it to you because we click. Ordinary people don't have this qualification."

Looking at the Heritage Crystal that Nie Ning was handing back, Wandru pushed it back, and also glanced at Nie Ning's other hand.

"Besides, you've already used a shadow recording stone to leave evidence, are you still afraid that I'd scam you?"

Upon hearing this, Nie Ning silently put the shadow recording stone in his palm into his spatial ring.

"With your sneaky behavior, you should keep this thing yourself."

Saying this, Nie Ning, regardless of whether Wandru was willing or not, shoved the Heritage Crystal back into Wandru's bosom.

He didn't know what was inside the Heritage Crystal, and he didn't want to know what was inside.

Because the more he knew, the more problematic things might become, which was not a good thing for someone new like him.

"Never mind then, it seems you have no luck to enjoy it."

Wandru shook his head slightly and put the crystal back into his bosom.

He then looked up at Nie Ning, with a playful smile on his face: "Seeing you in such a rush, did Lord Wizard Amanla call you to her place for a private lesson again?"

"What, you want to go too?"

Nie Ning said with a smile.

Although the small episode just now let him know that the other party had ill intentions, in the world of social interaction, these were all trivial matters.

As an old timer in the Extreme Phase Demon Palace, the other party was still very valuable to him.
