Long Ling's face flushed red as she forcefully pulled her hands out of Nian Bing's grasp. Taking a step back, she said in a low voice, "Water Magician, there is a difference between men and women. Please don't be like this."
Nian Bing was stunned for a moment before turning to Carlo and asking, "Ling 'er is also a magician participating in this operation?"
Carlo nodded and said, "Yes, High Magician Lyon brought Great Magician Long Ling and Great Magician Fengyun to participate in this operation. You are all part of the same union, so it's better for you to cooperate."
Long Ling politely nodded to Carlo and said, "President, rest assured, we will do our best to help you. It's late, I'm going to rest." After saying this, she no longer looked at Nian Bing as she turned and walked towards the courtyard.
Carlo looked at Nian Bing with a smile that wasn't a smile, "Is there some misunderstanding between you and Miss Long Ling? Young people, don't let emotional entanglements dampen your spirit. "
Nian Bing bitterly smiled and shook his head, but he couldn't say anything. The expressions of the knights that hadn't entered the courtyard changed a bit.
"Another one, really a pervert." Zi Qingmeng bumped into Nian Bing before entering the courtyard.
Purple Sword Nianbing sighed. Looking back at Feng Nu, she also followed her sister in.
Nian Bing bitterly smiled in his heart. Just who did I provoke? How come in their eyes, I'm like a scoundrel who abandoned me? I'm innocent!
Everyone had already entered the courtyard, leaving only Feng Nu and Nian Bing at the entrance. Feng Nu walked to Nian Bing's side and stopped. Seeing his hesitant expression, she smiled and said, "No need to explain anything, we are friends. I choose to believe you."
Nian Bing's heart was filled with joy. Finally, there was someone who understood him. But. Soon his excitement turned into bubbles because Feng Nu emphasized, "We are just friends." As someone who cultivated Nine Leave Battle Qi, her body emitted a faint layer of cold air.
The night was filled with cold air. Nian Bing felt a burst of helplessness in her heart. Let's take it one step at a time. Anyway, I haven't done anything bad. Why should I care about what others think? Silence is gold, silence is gold!
The next morning. Carlo announced that they were going to rest for a day. He started to make purchases in Tiandang City before they set off. Nian Bing wrote a simple purchase order for food. She didn't leave her room for the whole day. She was completely in a state of meditation.
As night fell, there was a sudden knock on the door. "Nian Bing. It's time for dinner. "Zi Qingjian's deep voice sounded from outside the door.
Nian Bing took a deep breath and woke up from her meditation. She felt that her body was full of magic power. Yesterday's matter seemed to have become a thing of the past. Whether it was Feng Nu or Long Ling, she couldn't let them affect her goal.
Opening the door, Zi Qingjian walked in energetically. "Brother, you didn't eat lunch. What are you doing alone in the room? Let's go. Let's go for dinner. It's ready. President Carlo will also talk about some of the details of this operation. "
Nian Bing smiled. "Big brother Qingjian, you look pretty good today!"
Zi Qingjian chuckled. "People are in good spirits. Today, I asked Miss Feng Nu a lot of questions about martial arts. I learned a lot. Miss Feng Nu's talent in martial arts is far from mine. "
Nian Bing inexplicably felt a bit of sorrow in her heart, but she quickly returned to normal. "Then I'll have to congratulate big brother. Sparring with people stronger than you is very beneficial to your own growth."
Zi Qingjian closed the door behind him. He solemnly said, "Nian Bing, what is your relationship with that girl from yesterday?"
Nian Bing was stunned. She frowned slightly and said, "Big brother, this is my personal matter. I don't want to talk about it."
Zi Qingjian said, "That girl looked very weak. It was as if a gust of wind could blow her away. Also, I've seen her a few times today, but I've never seen her smile. That cold feeling was filled with sorrow. Don't tell me this has nothing to do with you. Nian Bing, did you do something wrong to her? "
"Enough." Nian Bing's eyes shone with cold light, causing Zi Qingjian to shiver. "Big brother Qingjian, I don't want to talk about this. I said before, this is my personal matter. Please don't get involved. Let's go eat. "After saying this, she walked around Zi Qingjian and opened the door.
Zi Qingjian stood there in a daze. This was the first time he had seen Nian Bing lose her temper. In that instant, an abnormally powerful aura had exploded from Nian Bing. Even with his strength as a Great Swordsman, he actually found it hard to breathe.
Dinner was held in the restaurant. Before Carlo had arrived, the entire restaurant had been reserved by his subordinates. Aside from the restaurant's staff, everyone else was from the Frozen Moon Mercenary Group.
The dinner was very sumptuous. There was chicken, duck, and fish. Of course, this food was nothing in Nian Bing's eyes. When he arrived, the table was already full. Nian Bing looked around and saw Li Hua, Long Ling, and that Great Magician Feng Yun sitting at the head table. There was an empty seat next to Li Hua. Without asking, it was reserved for him. After all, he belonged to the Ice Moon Empire's Magician Guild. Without hesitation, he strode to the empty seat and greeted Li Hua and the other two before sitting down.
Long Ling's expression was very calm. Just as Zi Qingjian said, her body emitted a faint aura of sorrow. The coldness on her body was completely due to her sorrow. He sighed inwardly. Ling 'er! Am I really worth it for you to be like this?
Long Ling acted as if she didn't see Nian Bing. Her gaze was still looking forward. Li Hua and Feng Yun both nodded to Nianbing, but no one said anything. Nian Bing was smart, so he naturally knew where the cold treatment came from. However, he didn't mind. He sat there and looked around while waiting for his meal to be served.
Feng Nu and Feng Nu were sitting at a table not far from him. At this time, Zi Qingjian had also walked in and sat down next to Feng Nu. Nian Bing was very calm. Not only was his expression calm, but his heart was also calm. In his mind, he was thinking about the situation of his magic cultivation. He didn't feel the slightest bit of dissatisfaction because of the current awkward atmosphere.
"Alright, everyone is here. Everyone, let's eat. This is our last dinner before we leave. Tomorrow morning, we will enter the Heaven Shaking Mountain Range. The horses and unnecessary things will be left in this restaurant. I have already paid for this restaurant for three months. If we can successfully complete the mission, we will be able to return within three months. For this mission, it can be said that our Frozen Moon Mercenary Group has turned out in full force. We have also obtained the support of the Empire's Magician Guild. I have full confidence that we can complete this mission. However, there is one thing I must remind everyone in advance. Although we are strong, there are many unknown dangers in the Heaven Shaking Mountain Range. If anyone is careless and drags everyone down, then don't blame me for being merciless. Everything will be for the benefit of the group. I won't say anything else. Most of you are old members of the mercenary group. I believe in you. "Carlo's eyes radiated power as he looked at his subordinates. His body emitted a powerful aura.
Nian Bing glanced at Carlo and found that there was a forty year old middle aged man sitting next to him. The man on the left had a cold expression. He was wearing the same mercenary leather armor, but it was very harmonious on his body. Although age was unforgiving, one could still vaguely see his youth. It was a pity that his handsome face was ruined by a deep scar on the left side of his face. The man on the right was a woman. She was also the only person in the entire Frozen Moon Mercenary Group who didn't wear a mercenary's uniform. The fiery red long skirt on her ice bucket like body didn't look harmonious at all. Her short brown hair was disheveled and that pancake-like face was covered in rouge. Even so, it couldn't hide the large pockmarks on her face. When her huge body moved slightly, a layer of rouge would fall off. Looking at her, perhaps anyone's appetite would be reduced.
Feeling Nian Bing's gaze, that middle aged man didn't have any expression, but that "bucket"'s eyes lit up. Nian Bing revealed a smile and the rouge on her face suddenly had a few more cracks. Her yellow teeth were uneven and Nian Bing almost spat out the tea she just drank. She forced a smile and hurriedly turned her gaze to other places. The fine hairs on her body were all standing up.
It was finally time to eat. Nian Bing unhurriedly ate the dishes in front of him. With the previous experience, he didn't dare to casually look around. Right at this time, Carlo walked to his side and said with a smile, "Nian Bing, come with me. I'll introduce you to our mercenary group's two vice leaders."
Nian Bing bitterly smiled in his heart. Without guessing, he already knew who the vice leader was. Under Carlo's lead, Nian Bing followed him to Carlo's table. Carlo pointed at the middle aged man that Nian Bing had seen before and said, "This is our Frozen Moon Mercenary Group's vice leader, Jia Te Lin. His martial skills are exquisite and much stronger than mine."
Jia Te Lin's gaze met with Nian Bing's and simply spat out two words, "Hello."
Nian Bing smiled and said, "Hello, I am Nian Bing."
"Go, go, go. Jia Te Lin, go to the side. Don't obstruct me from introducing myself. " The pungent fragrance almost made Nian Bing faint. Jia Te Lin was pushed to the side by "Bucket", but his expression didn't change at all. "Bucket" chuckled. Her height was actually about the same as Nian Bing, but her figure was enough to hold four Nian Bing. When she stood there, she was like a wall. She was probably heavier than Zi Qing Sword. "Hello, little brother Nian Bing. My name is Hua Rui. You can also call me Ruirui. I am also the vice leader of the Frozen Moon Mercenary Group. We should get closer in the future! "
When Nian Bing heard the two words Ruirui, he felt a chill in his heart. If Hua Rui looked like you, there wouldn't be any flowers on the continent. "Hello, Miss Hua Rui. Nice to meet you."
Hearing Nian Bing call her Miss, Hua Rui was immediately overjoyed. "Hee hee, little brother Nian Bing, you have good taste. You can tell at a glance that I am still a girl. I am still unmarried." As she spoke, she continued to throw coquettish glances at Nian Bing.
Nian Bing lowered his head and thought to himself, It's not your fault that you are ugly, but you are wrong to come out and scare people.
Carlo naturally saw Nian Bing's uneasiness and hurriedly said, "Alright, everyone, let's eat."
When he returned to his seat, Nian Bing had no appetite at all. At this moment, Li Hua, who was beside him, suddenly said, "Nianbing, I heard from President Carlo that you guys met on the way here. Who are the people who came with you?"
Nian Bing said, "They are all my friends. They are also warriors."
Li Hua glanced at Feng Nu and said, "Is that girl your girlfriend?"
Nian Bing suddenly felt annoyed. Why was it that the more he wanted to avoid emotional entanglements, the more trouble there was? "No, she is just an ordinary friend of mine. You guys eat. I have no appetite. I will leave first. "After that, he got up and left without waiting for Li Hua to say more. When he was about to leave, the Dragon Spirit's gaze finally swept over him once.
Seeing Nian Bing leave, Carlo wanted to chase after him, but considering that there were so many people in the dining room, he had to shake his head helplessly.
Back in the room, Nian Bing sat on the bed again, closed his eyes, and entered the state of meditation again. Since he had left the Ice Moon Empire, he had no more scruples now. He held the Sigh of the Ice Goddess and the Roar of the God of Fire in his hands, and quickly gathered the ice and fire magic elements in the air to himself.
There was no possibility of any shortcuts to the growth of magic power. Only through continuous practice and increasing one's magic power could one improve one's strength. The stronger one's magic power was, the more the magic power in the air would be affected when using magic. This was also the reason why there was such a huge difference in strength between magicians of one level.
After these days of research on magic and the guidance of the Dark Night Archmage, Nian Bing had changed the way he meditated. He no longer absorbed the magic power in the air through every part of his body like before. Instead, he absorbed the magic elements in the air through his two peerless swords. After filtering and amplifying them through the Ice Goddess Stone and the God of Fire Stone, he channeled them into his body through the palms of his hands. There were several advantages to this. First, through the filtering of the two highest quality gems, the instability of the magic elements was very well suppressed. When the magic elements passed through the two gems, they became denser and purer. This saved Nian Bing the experience of controlling the magic that entered his body. Secondly, through the absorption method of the two points, when the magic was channeled into the vortex of ice and fire in his body, it could achieve a better balance. Moreover, it could increase the rotation speed of the vortex during the meditation process.
After using this meditation method, Nian Bing clearly felt that the speed of his magic progress had increased by a lot. One night was equivalent to four or five days of practice. He firmly believed that as long as he persevered, he would be able to enter the realm of Archmage sooner. When his two types of magic power were full, it would be time for him to seek a new breakthrough.
After an unknown amount of time, Nian Bing, who was in the middle of meditation, suddenly heard the sound of knocking on the door. He hurriedly controlled his mental strength to stop receiving magic power from the outside world and woke up.
"Who is it!" At this time, it was already late at night. The night fog filled the air outside the window. Nian Bing stood up and closed the curtains before walking to the door.
"Open the door quickly, it's me." A beautiful and pleasant voice sounded outside the door. Nian Bing's heart stirred. It was actually Feng Nu.
Opening the door, he saw Feng Nu standing quietly at the door, looking at him with a smile.
"Why are you here so late?" Nian Bing asked in surprise.
Feng Nu smiled and said: "What, you're not going to invite me in?"
Nian Bing smiled bitterly and said: "No need, it's so late. Why are you, a girl, in my room?"
Feng Nu snorted and said: "Rumors stop with the wise. I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?" Saying that, she pushed Nian Bing aside and went straight into his room.
Nian Bing helplessly closed the door. He saw Feng Nu go to the table and put a small cloth bag on it. "Eat quickly. You didn't eat anything at night. Are you angry? What did that magician say to you? "
Nian Bing looked at the snacks in the cloth bag. He couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. He walked a few steps to Feng Nu's side and reached out to hug her. "Thank you, Feng Nu."
His figure flashed. Feng Nu ran to the side with a red face. "Don't touch me. Eat quickly."
Nian Bing awkwardly put his hand on the table. The Phoenix Maiden picked up the snack and put it into her mouth. She sat down on a chair and looked at Nian Bing with interest.
Nian Bing ate the snacks while saying: "Feng Nu, don't you want to ask me what is the relationship between me and Ling 'er?"
Feng Nu smiled and shook his head. "This is your own privacy. If you want to tell me, you will tell me. Otherwise, what's the use of me asking. "
Nian Bing sighed and said: "Actually, it doesn't matter if I tell you. I met Ling 'er after I met you … … "Then, he simply told how he met Long Ling and how he joined the Ice Moon Empire's Magician Union. When he finished speaking, the desserts brought by the Phoenix Girl were all in his stomach.
"In that case, you're quite charming. That Ling 'er girl is quite beautiful. Why don't you think about it? "Feng Nu still had a smile on her face.
Nian Bing unhappily said: "Then I am also quite handsome. Do you want to think about it?"
Feng Nu's face turned red and said: "That's impossible. We are people from two different worlds."
Nian Bing sighed and said: "I have rejected two girls. Actually, they are very outstanding. To be able to get one of them as my wife is already lucky for me. But, I can't! I want revenge. My enemy is so strong and I still have to fulfill my master's wish. My heart can't be settled so quickly. So, I can only choose to reject them. I don't want to implicate them. Before taking revenge, feelings are a luxury for me. "
Feng Nu nodded and said: "I understand. Maybe you are right. Because I am the same as you, I don't have the qualifications to talk about feelings. But, girls are the most sensitive to feelings. Since you can't have a result with them, then don't tease them to avoid more misunderstandings. You know, when you are concentrating on cooking, you are the most attractive. "
Nian Bing smiled and said: "Then, did I attract you?"
Feng Nu unhappily said: "Attract your head. I haven't settled the debt with you yet. You have to compensate me for my clothes."
Nian Bing's eyes turned, "Okay, I will compensate you. But I don't have money. How about this, I will cook for you for a lifetime to compensate you. How about it?"
Feng Nu snorted and said: "Then you can be my servant. I just reminded you not to tease girls and you're doing it again. "
Nian Bing smiled and said: "That's because I know you won't be fooled! It's late, you should go back and rest. Otherwise, I will really act like a hooligan. In front of a beauty, my willpower is not that strong. "
Feng Nu provocatively curled her lips, "Aren't you afraid that I will beat you until you look for your teeth on the ground? Don't forget, your strength is not enough to use force against me. "
Nian Bing's eyes flashed and said: "Don't forget, I am a magician. Although my overall strength is not as good as yours, but if you give me a chance, I have seventy percent confidence that I can restrain you. "
Feng Nu stared blankly for a moment and said: "I want to try." Nian Bing's confidence made her a little more curious. After all, dou qi was one of the best ways to break through magic. She was very clear that Nian Bing's magic was not comparable to her own Nine Leave dou qi. But he said it so confidently, which made Feng Nu a little suspicious. Her understanding of magic was not deep, but her desire for strength was not below Nian Bing.
Nian Bing strangely smiled and said: "You really want to try? Then if I restrain you, I can't guarantee that I won't do anything out of line. "
Feng Nu confidently said: "I don't believe you. How about we make a bet."
Nian Bing's heroic spirit increased, "Okay, you tell me what to bet, I accept."
The Phoenix Girl thought for a moment and said, "I'll give you a chance to release your magic. I won't interrupt your incantation. If your magic can restrain me, then I'll write off what happened last night. Otherwise, you will have to promise me three conditions in the future. "
Nian Bing laughed: "Your calculations are not bad. But, this way you will be taking advantage of me. If I successfully restrain you, you will have to return the kiss that I owe you last time. If I lose, I will promise you three conditions. " Feng Nu looked at Nian Bing with some surprise, "Are you really sure? You really want to bet? "
Nian Bing smiled and said: "Even if I promise you three conditions, it's nothing. Why, are you regretting it?"
Feng Nu's eyes flashed and said: "Okay, I will bet with you. Where are we?"
Nian Bing pointed to the ground and said: "My room will do. Let me release a spell right? Then you sit first. I will start preparing. Don't worry, before I release the spell, I will definitely remind you. "
Feng Nu nodded and sat at the side, but her eyes were locked on Nian Bing, waiting for him to make his move.
Nian Bing thought for a moment and chanted an incantation, casting a blizzard on himself. With his amazing control of magic, he controlled the blizzard to an extremely small area, floating in the air, facing the ground. With a wave of both hands, the Morning Dew Dagger and the Zheng Yang Dagger appeared in his hands. Under the effect of magic, the whole room was filled with red and blue light. Without any hesitation, Nian Bing's hands moved at the same time. The two daggers each transformed into a ball of light, slashing towards the ground.
"Magic array? You also know magic array? "Feng Nu looked at Nian Bing in surprise, her original confidence could not help but drop a little.
Nian Bing did not answer, his mind was completely focused on the daggers in his hands. In the flash of the daggers, a blue and a red equilateral triangle appeared on the ground. They intertwined to form a magic hexagram. The red and blue colors intertwined, emitting a huge magic aura. Nian Bing did not stop his movements. He drew two circles on the outside of the hexagram, and then quickly engraved various complicated symbols on the circles and the hexagram. Although his movements were very fast, there was not a trace of carelessness. Every time there was an additional symbol on the complex magic array, the aura of the entire magic array would be stronger by a bit. The strange thing was, although the magic aura was strong, it was limited to the magic array. Feng Nu, who was outside the array, could see that this magic array was not ordinary, but she could not feel its real power. Her heart tightened, and she quietly mobilized her Nine Abandonment Dou Qi, maintaining her state at its best.
The time was much longer than expected. Sweat constantly dripped from Nian Bing's forehead, but soon it was swallowed by the red aura in the magic array. Nian Bing's face had become somewhat pale, and the light emitted by the two peerless blades was not as strong as before. Obviously, the process of constructing this magic array consumed a lot of his magic power.
Suddenly, Nian Bing murmured a few words of incantation, and his eyes shone brightly. The magic power that was weakened by a lot suddenly skyrocketed. The daggers flashed several times, and the magic array on the ground rose into the air. The next moment, everything suddenly disappeared. The magic array on the ground completely lost its luster, and only the traces made by the daggers could be seen.
Nian Bing gasped for breath, put away the daggers, and sat on the bed. Although he looked extremely tired, his spirit was extremely excited, and his eyes were shining. It seemed that he was more excited than when he completed the carving of the nine dragons to the supreme cauldron. "This actually works. That's great. That's wonderful."
Feng Nu doubtfully said, "Nian Bing, what's wrong with you? Didn't you say that you want to seal me? What kind of magic array did you just draw? "
Nian Bing smiled and said, "You will know if you try. I will use this magic array, you just need to walk to the center of the magic array. If you are safe and sound, then I will lose. "
Feng Nu half believed and half doubtfully stood up, took a deep breath, and her whole body was suddenly covered by a layer of faint red light. Her eyes moved, trying to see something from Nian Bing's expression, but Nian Bing just smiled and did not show any special expression.
Feng Nu's figure floated forward. Although she was very curious about this magic array, she did not believe that it had the ability to trap her, but she still did not have the slightest carelessness. She raised her dou qi to eighty percent, and then landed on the magic array.
Suddenly, a huge suction force came from the ground. Feng Nu was startled, and quickly urged her dou qi to rush down to her feet, trying to break free from the magic array. But she did not urge her dou qi, and suddenly she was surprised to find that her dou qi seemed to have found a huge vent, and flocked out from under her feet.
The magic circle on the ground shone brightly. It was mainly red in color, and it instantly wrapped around the Phoenix Maiden's body. An abnormally strong suction force kept eroding her body. Under the strange suction force, her combat power was disappearing at an astonishing speed.
Feng Nu was a little panicked. Although she was skilled and bold, but she still could not help but have a heart of fear. After all, she had painstakingly cultivated the Nine Abandonment Dou Qi since she was a child, and with the full support of the elders, she had today's achievements. If it continued like this, her dou qi would completely disappear, then wouldn't her many years of cultivation be in vain? Thinking of this, Feng Nu's delicate body trembled a little. She desperately wanted to raise her dou qi to the realm of holy dou qi to get rid of this strange magic array, but her dou qi had already been consumed too much. Excessive urging would only cause her dou qi to be absorbed faster by the magic array. The red and blue light was like a bottomless abyss, constantly swallowing her dou qi.
"Nian Bing, what did you do, quickly let me go, my dou qi is …" Feng Nu felt weak because of the loss of a large amount of dou qi. She looked at Nian Bing somewhat pleadingly. She believed that Nian Bing would not harm her, but what was happening now was beyond her imagination.
Nian Bing smiled faintly and said, "Does this mean that you admit defeat?"
Feng Nu opened her mouth, just as she wanted to say something, the last trace of dou qi in her body was sucked out. Her body went soft and suddenly fell on the magic array.
Nian Bing smiled and walked into the magic array. Even Feng Nu who was close to the realm of Swordsman could not contend against the magic array, but it did not harm him at all. He picked up Feng Nu and let her lean on his shoulder, "Now you should know that magic is a very strange ability. Although my magic is not as strong as your martial arts, but under certain special circumstances, I have the possibility to restrain you. This magic array is a special magic array passed down from ancient times. I just wanted to give it a try, but I didn't expect that it would really succeed. "
Tears flowed down Feng Nu's face, she said somewhat sluggishly, "My, my dou qi, my dou qi."
Nian Bing smiled and said, "Silly girl, I will return your dou qi. But, before that, I have to get back the bet that I won. Otherwise, when you recover, I won't be able to contend with you. "As he said that, he hugged Feng Nu's elastic body and lowered his head towards her.
When Feng Nu heard Nian Bing say that her dou qi can be recovered, she was immediately overjoyed. Her spirit did not have time to recover, but the masculine aura continued to approach her. At this time, she was so weak that she could not even move a finger, let alone resist. Her face suddenly turned red, and she subconsciously closed her eyes, waiting for the lips that were about to come.
After a long time, although the masculine aura was still strong, but the kiss that she imagined did not come. She opened her eyes strangely, and was surprised to find that Nian Bing was right in front of her. His face was only three inches away from her, and she could hear his breath.
Nian Bing seemed to be a little distressed as he shook his head, "Forget it, if you didn't want to let me kiss you, how can I force you?" As he said that, he muttered a few words of incantation, and the magic array suddenly began to change. The rich red light was like a river flowing into the sea, and rushed towards Feng Nu's body. Feng Nu only felt her whole body shake, and the familiar dou qi returned from every corner of her body. The feeling of strength gradually became stronger, and she was so excited that her body trembled a little. The feeling of recovering dou qi was so wonderful.
