144: No one is more likely to miss opportunities than her!
“Because that’s my name.”
The young girl’s expression was calm, not at all bothered by the sudden presence of another person beside her, as she also possessed a Qi Refining Stage - first level cultivation. Right now, her only concern was whether her fishing boat still had a chance to be salvaged…
“Aren’t you angry?”
“They’re already being polite. Everyone else in the fishing village calls me a little bastard.”
“…”
The girl’s numb tone also silenced Qin Feng.
One large and one small figure stood by the bank, quietly gazing at the surging river.
After a moment, Qin Feng remembered he still had things to do, so he spoke, “Meeting is fate.”
“I can help you retrieve your boat from the riverbed, or I can go with you to the fishing village to redeem you and restore your freedom. You choose one.”
A look of surprise appeared in the girl’s eyes. She turned to glance at Qin Feng, and following her gaze, she could just see the continuously falling snowflakes in the background once again covering Turtle Treasure Mountain.
She seemed to have thought of something and immediately asked, “Are you a very powerful Cultivator?”
Qin Feng first nodded, then shook his head, and a look of confusion appeared in the girl’s eyes:
“How many Foundation Establishment Stage experts can you defeat?”
“A hundred!”
“That’s great! My dream is to become a disciple of a strong person like you!”
“I want to become your disciple!”
After speaking, she excitedly pulled out a bag full of tiny Spirit Crystals from her bosom and handed it to Qin Feng. These Spirit Crystals were only the size of rice grains, containing very weak Spiritual Qi, even much worse in quality than the Spirit Crystals from Qinghe Ward back then.
Qin Feng frowned and glanced at her, feeling a bit annoyed.
He just wanted to do a good deed and satisfy his sense of accomplishment. Why was this girl so insatiable?
He clearly distinguished between temporary trouble and lifelong trouble, and this girl didn’t give a good impression. Qin Feng even wanted to slap himself twice; he shouldn’t have bothered with her just now.
“Oh, right, I also have this!”
Seeing Qin Feng remain silent, the girl took out a palm-sized book from her bosom. Although the book was small, it was about an inch thick, looking like a brick.
“I found this three months ago under a Dragon-shaped stone statue at the bottom of the river. They all said it was useless, but I think it must be a good treasure. If you also think it’s useless, then forget it; I won’t become your disciple.”
The girl’s tone was indifferent, as if she had been suppressed by life for too long and had become completely numb.
Qin Feng didn’t speak. With a sweep of his Divine Sense, he could tell it was a blank book with nothing written inside.
What use could this thing have?
Just as he was about to come up with a reason to refuse, Qin Feng suddenly sensed that the crimson brush in his storage ring was trembling madly, showing signs of wanting to break free and meet this book.
Qin Feng calmly took the book and wrapped it in his Divine Sense to inspect it, but he still couldn't find any abnormalities, as if it were just an ordinary blank book.
But at this moment, the crimson brush shook even more violently, even emitting a wisp of green light, clearly indicating that the wandering spirit emperor inside was at work.
It seemed this book was also no ordinary item. Qin Feng held the book in his hand and said with an indifferent expression:
“This book is useless, and I don’t want to take you as a disciple. In exchange for this book, I can grant you two wishes, the kind that can be fulfilled on the spot.”
“What kind of wishes can you grant me?”
A hint of suspicion appeared on her face, and she tentatively asked, “Can you help me kill Wang Bapi? He’s only a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator.”
“That’s the first wish.”
A joyful expression appeared on the girl’s face, and she continued:
“Then for the second wish, I want the most powerful cultivation method in the world, one that can break the Immortal Slave Spiritual Root on my body, or you can help me regain my freedom and give me five hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones!”
Immortal Slave Spiritual Root?
Qin Feng was a bit confused. He glanced at the other party and immediately understood. Inside her abdominal Qi Sea, a crystal-clear, smooth bead was quietly floating, slowly absorbing the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
That bead should be the so-called Immortal Slave Spiritual Root. It looked like it had been artificially placed there.
These two wishes were effortless for Qin Feng to fulfill, and he agreed without a second thought.
“Then lead the way. I’ll first help you kill the Wang Bapi you mentioned.”
“Okay!”
Seeing Qin Feng agree, the little girl’s face immediately showed an expression of wild joy, and then she walked upstream along the Yulong River.
Goose feather-sized snowflakes continuously fell.
The surroundings were covered in white snow, and footprints on the snow layer made a crunching sound with every step.
She was only at the Qi Refining Stage - first level, and her walking speed was too slow. Qin Feng was in a hurry, so he rummaged through his storage ring and found two Shen Xing Talismans for her to stick on her legs, while he himself leaped several feet at a time, following unhurriedly behind.
A moment later.
Some dense small black dots appeared in their field of vision. With a sweep of Divine Sense, the houses and buildings immediately became clear.
Decks, fishing boats, and thatched sheds built from reeds.
Bare-armed men were pulling nets by the river, taking out fat grass carp from the nets, while women sat in simple courtyards weaving nets and chatting, looking very peaceful.
“That’s Longjiang Village ahead.”
The girl leading the way pointed towards the village for Qin Feng, then quickened her pace.
As they got closer, Qin Feng sensed more clearly that the villagers’ expressions seemed very numb, not as happy as they appeared from a distance.
Qin Feng traveled calmly, while also observing the situation in the village. The people here were at least Qi Refining Stage Cultivators, and the most powerful had already reached the Foundation Establishment Stage Great Perfection Realm.
The entire village was extremely simple; it was impossible for other powerful individuals to appear.
When the two entered the village entrance one after another, the people inside showed surprised expressions.
Upon entering the village, there were dense thatched huts all around. It wasn't until the two reached a wooden house that the girl’s face immediately showed an extremely excited expression, and she shouted into the house:
“Bapi Dad! I brought someone back!”
“My good daughter! Hahaha.”
The room, which should have been empty, suddenly echoed with a man’s voice, and at the same time, an aura belonging only to a Nascent Soul stage cultivator erupted within the wooden house.
Simultaneously, three more Nascent Soul stage cultivator auras appeared around the village. In just a blink of an eye, four men, dressed in various styles, flashed out and surrounded Qin Feng.
These four men were of various ages, all male, but each of them was dressed extremely luxuriously, showing no resemblance to a fisherman.
The leader was a man around forty years old, with a black birthmark the size of a baby’s fist on his face, and a nine-ringed broadsword on his back. He was now looking at Qin Feng with an excited expression, his gaze like he was looking at a mountain of gold.
Was it a trap?
Seeing the unfriendly expressions of the several people, Qin Feng immediately felt incredibly depressed.
The girl named Xiao Za was hiding behind the man with the sword on his back, happily saying:
“Bapi Dad, he can easily take out five hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones. He should be considered a fat sheep, right?”
“If he really produces five hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones later, then he’s a fat sheep!”
“Then, adding the previous few people, will I be able to advance to Qi Refining Stage - third level?”
…
When Qin Feng heard the conversation between the girl and the middle-aged man, he was so angry that his toes curled.
In this whole world.
There was probably no one who could miss an Opportunity more than this foolish woman!
And she even turned an Opportunity into a disaster!
