Steamed lamb, roasted duck, steamed eight treasure pig, glutinous rice stuffed duck, stir-fried carp, assorted intestines, sesame butter rolls, honey yam, shredded fresh peach, eight treasure ding, steamed bamboo slices, scarlet lips, camel hump, deer antler, bear paw, three fresh cassava soup, beeswax pork knuckle, three fresh shark's fin …
After a while, Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing sat in a private room on the third floor, in front of them was a table full of delicious dishes.
Fang Yuan took a pair of bamboo chopsticks and casually ate a few mouthfuls. He first ate the steamed bamboo slices, refreshing and invigorating. Then he ate a piece of shredded fresh peach, sweet but not greasy. Then he took the bear paw, tender and tasty. The steamed lamb was also crispy and tender, with some seasoning, the taste was even better.
Bai Ning Bing drank a mouthful of the three fresh cassava soup, her mouth was filled with saliva and the fragrance lingered in her mouth, her appetite was also aroused.
"After being with you for so many days, it's rare to see you so generous." While eating, she did not forget to mock Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan smiled and did not reply, he knew Bai Ning Bing's suspicions and impatience.
He had been close to Shang Xin Ci, putting in all his effort to protect her. When they reached their destination, they purposely parted. Bai Ning Bing could not see through this.
And Fang Yuan was already at rank two peak stage, only a step away from rank three. Back then, he and Bai Ning Bing had set up a Rank three agreement, and now they were at the final juncture.
But of course Fang Yuan would not keep his promise! In his eyes, honesty was nothing more than a compromise made out of helplessness, or a beautiful disguise, a realistic mask.
Fang Yuan was clear about this, and so was Bai Ning Bing.
So she was impatient.
Because she had a premonition that this scoundrel Fang Yuan would definitely break his promise. But she could not do anything to Fang Yuan, the Yang Gu was in Fang Yuan's hands, she had to act cautiously.
Now that there was no pursuit from Bai clan, there was no beast tide, Fang and Bai ate at the same table, seemingly harmonious and warm, but in fact, their relationship was extremely tense, if they took another step forward, they would fall apart.
And this step was when Fang Yuan officially advanced to Rank Three.
Once he advanced to rank three, there would be no room for negotiation between him and Bai Ning Bing, they would have to face each other head-on.
How should he deal with Bai Ning Bing?
Fang Yuan pondered as he ate.
It was impossible for his cultivation to remain stagnant. There would come a day when the conflict would erupt.
The current situation was very delicate.
Fang Yuan had the upper hand because he controlled the Yang Gu, but in fact, Bai Ning Bing also had a hold on Fang Yuan's weakness.
She had traveled with Fang Yuan and had personally participated in the inheritance of the White Bone Mountain. She had also personally witnessed how Fang Yuan had attracted the beast horde to attack the caravan.
She knew too much.
Compared with the potential threat of Ding Hao, Bai Ning Bing was undoubtedly much more dangerous to Fang Yuan.
"If we kill Bai Ning Bing, we don't have to worry about Shang Xin Ci anymore. However, my cultivation wasn't high enough. Perhaps the best time to kill Bai Ning Bing would be on the trade route, but at that time, I would still need to borrow her power to ensure my survival. Moreover, Shang Xin Ci was beside me, so it would not be easy to make a move. Bai Ning Bing has always been secretly on guard against me. She also has the protection of Ice Skin Jade Bone, so she could not kill me in one strike. Moreover, her battle awareness is outstanding, and after this period of training, she has become even more ruthless … "
Fang Yuan's mind was churning, and at the same time, Bai Ning Bing was also racking her brains.
"Ever since I left Qing Mao mountain, I finally have a chance to breathe. I must obtain the Yang Gu and turn back into a man! If I directly snatch it, the chances of success are not high, unless I can kill Fang Yuan in an instant. But that scoundrel Fang Yuan, although his cultivation is only at rank two, his overall battle strength is much higher. He is a freak, his battle experience is incomparably ruthless. Moreover, his thoughts are deep and ruthless, and he does all sorts of evil deeds. There is no morality that can restrain him, and he can do anything. "
"More importantly, I have yet to find out his trump cards. But it is not that I do not have any advantages, his cultivation now depends on me. And I also know a lot of his secrets, maybe I can use these things to force him to compromise! Use poison vow Gu, and sign an irrevocable contract with him. Other than that, I can also use plunder Gu, plunder Gu, miracle hand Gu and so on to steal the Yang Gu … "
Bai Ning Bing was not stupid, she had been patiently observing along the way, thinking of her schemes.
The two ate at the same table, separated by only two to three steps. They looked like good friends, but they were scheming against each other in their hearts.
As the external pressure subsided, the conflict between the two of them became more prominent. In the relatively safe environment of Shang clan city, they had the time to think about these things.
But the more they thought about it, the more they felt it was troublesome!
Fang Yuan did things without any qualms, but wasn't Bai Ning Bing the same? In her philosophy of life, it was fine as long as she lived an exciting life. Wait, moral principles? What was that?
The two of them were very similar, they both looked down on the world, had strong wills, thirsted for strength, and only believed in themselves.
From other people's point of view, they were all damned demons, scum that harmed society, and their deaths were a blessing to the world.
Precisely because of this similarity, the two of them felt it was troublesome.
The most difficult enemy to deal with was often themselves.
More importantly, they had a weakness in each other's hands. If they did not strike first and give the other a chance to breathe, the other side would be finished!
The more they thought about it, the more they felt a headache.
"Bai Ning Bing is not easy to deal with." Fang Yuan gritted his teeth, he had too few resources at hand.
"Fang Yuan has no weakness at all …" Bai Ning Bing squinted, her gaze cold.
The two could not think of any good ideas, and looked at each other at the same time.
Their gazes collided in midair, and then looked away.
The dishes in front of them were delicious, but their minds were heavy, and they could not taste it.
Although there was a fifty percent discount, it still cost Fang Yuan fifteen Yuan stone.
As expected of Shang clan city, the prices were not cheap.
The two filled their stomachs and left the restaurant.
Fang Yuan had just walked onto the street when he heard the discussions of the passersby.
"Did you know? Just now at the southern gate, Shang clan leader actually appeared! "
"How is that possible?"
"It's true, he came and left quickly, the entire street was in an uproar …"
"Bullsh * t! What kind of person is Shang clan leader, why would he appear on the street for no reason? "
Rumors spread, some said it was Shang Yan Fei, others denied it.
Fang Yuan chose the eastern gate, while Shang Xin Ci entered the southern gate. When this matter reached the eastern gate, it was already distorted beyond recognition.
To Bai Ning Bing, this was just a small rumor, she did not pay attention to it. The surrounding people quickly started to talk about other topics.
But to an observant person like Fang Yuan, it was the clearest piece of information.
He could not help but chuckle, it seemed that Shang Xin Ci's matter did not deviate from his memories.
Now, he just had to wait for the fruit to ripen and fall on his head.
"Look, that's a flying blue whale, Yi clan's caravan is here!" Suddenly, someone pointed at the sky and shouted.
For a moment, the pedestrians on the street all stopped in their tracks at the same time, looking up at the sky.
A huge shadow loomed over them.
In the sky, a giant blue whale slowly flew over.
It was not appropriate to call it 'flying', it was better to call it 'swimming'.
Flying blue whale, this was a giant beast that could roam freely in the sky.
It lived above the Eastern Sea's nine heavens, it had a gentle and peaceful nature, Gu Masters often used whale enslavement Gu to control it and use it for traveling.
The flying blue whale's body was huge, like a small mountain, and the caravan hid inside its body as it flew in the sky. Compared to the caravan traveling in the forest, it was not only less dangerous, but also faster.
But the flying blue whale had to eat thousands of kilograms of food every day, unless it was a large clan, they could not afford to raise it.
In the whole of Southern Border, only Yi clan had a flying blue whale.
Yi clan was one of the overlords of Southern Border, its status was similar to Shang clan, and it had countless connections with Eastern Sea's forces.
"Truly breathtaking." Bai Ning Bing sighed softly.
She thought back to the Bai Clan Village in the past. If this kind of flying blue whale were to fall on the Bai Clan Village, the entire Bai Clan Village would probably be destroyed.
The giant figure moved on Shang Liang mountain, and the flying blue whale slowly landed on one of the mountain peaks.
Fang Yuan could see from afar that it opened its mouth, and countless black dots slowly moved out of its mouth.
These black dots were Yi clan's caravan. But the distance was too far, he could not see clearly.
"Yi clan's caravan is here, it seems the market is going to be turbulent again."
"I heard Yi clan brought a rank five Gu this time, and is going to auction it on Shang Liang mountain."
"Yi clan has connections with Eastern Sea, they must have brought many specialties of Eastern Sea this time, it is worth buying."
The passersby's topic had already completely shifted to Yi clan's caravan.
Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing continued to walk upwards.
Guyue village only occupied a corner of Qing Mao mountain, while Shang clan city almost covered the whole of Shang Liang mountain.
In Southern Border, even the number one clan, Wu clan, did not have such a large mountain city.
The whole Shang clan city had all kinds of buildings, bamboo buildings, mud houses, brick houses, shacks, treehouses, mushroom houses, caves, towers, forts and so on.
When these buildings were mixed together, it was as if Shang Liang Mountain had been draped in a layer of colorful clothes.
Shang clan city was the center of Southern Border's trade, it occupied the largest area without a doubt.
But if anyone thought this was all of Shang clan city, they would be gravely mistaken.
This was only the outer city of Shang clan city.
Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing came to a huge cave.
"You two want to enter the inner city? Please pay a hundred Yuan stone each. "The Gu Master guarding here stretched out his hand and demanded.
"Just to enter, we need a hundred Yuan stone?" Bai Ning Bing expressed her shock.
"The space in the inner city is small, this is to prevent unrelated people from entering. At the same time, it is convenient to maintain public order. "The Gu Master politely explained.
