Chapter 51 -41 Unusual Movements_1

On the surface of the Light Blue Lake.

Luo Hongyan stood gracefully, with a crystal clear smile at the corner of her lips, signaling Pang Jian to grab her hand and step onto the bamboo raft.

She seemed unconstrained by worldly norms, not caring for the customary physical distance between men and women, appearing eager and proactive with Pang Jian.

Distant mountains, lake water, bamboo raft, and a woman with a delightful smile—it was like a charming ink wash landscape painting.

The Su and He families, who had just regained their composure, along with the naive and inexperienced Su Meng, all watched her in amazement.

In front of the Su and He families, she radiated remoteness and indifference—the very behavior expected of Miss Ning from the Ning Family.

Yet in her dealings with Pang Jian, she was so warm and forward, a stark contrast that left everyone puzzled.

Throughout their journey, she had been deliberately drawing closer, even going so far as to seem like she was currying favor with Pang Jian, which baffled Su Yuntian and He Rong.

As the daughter of the Ning Family, even if she actually harbored a secret affection for Pang Jian, she needn’t debase herself to such an extent, to appear so humble, right?

For instance, right now.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, she proactively extended her jade hand, to pull Pang Jian onto the bamboo raft in the middle of the lake.

The typically reticent young Hunter, however, in front of everyone, ignored the hand she had offered and leaped onto the bamboo raft.

“Thump!”

The bamboo raft, suddenly pressed down by a heavy weight, sank sharply into the lake, causing Luo Hongyan’s calves to plunge into the water.

As the bamboo raft bobbed back to the surface, she didn’t get angry but instead chuckled, “Unappreciative guy.”

The Su and He families, watching her prepare to move the raft, wore increasingly bizarre expressions on their faces.

“You encountered a Spirit Evil of such level and still returned alive, I’m surprised by the toughness of your lives.”

Pang Jian, holding the Dragon Pattern Spear, looked towards the two families at the lakeside with a peculiar gaze and said in a deep voice, “When we first encountered the Spirit Evil, many of us died from the surprise attack.”

At that remark, Su Yuntian and He Rong also felt something odd.

The several “Spirit Evils” they had encountered had all shown aggression, but after witnessing their withdrawal, surprisingly didn’t pursue them and instead converged motionlessly in one area.

The reason they retreated was that they recognized the extraordinary nature of those “Spirit Evils” and knew that facing them would result in heavy losses.

Such powerful “Spirit Evils” could have inflicted serious damage on them, yet they strangely gathered without moving; it was indeed peculiar…

“Let’s go.”

Pang Jian, without asking for more details, readied himself to stir the lake water with his Dragon Pattern Spear, steering the raft towards Lake Heart Island.

“I’ll do it, my feet are already wet anyway.”

Luo Hongyan, who had already crouched down behind, placed a pristine white hand into the lake, releasing Spiritual Power from her palm, generating a pushing force that rippled across the surface.

The bamboo raft they were on headed straight for Lake Heart Island.

Pang Jian stood at the front end of the bamboo raft, holding the spear and gazing at Lake Heart Island, which drew closer gradually—as if he were a sharp Long Spear himself.

Luo Hongyan at the back of the raft kept her head low, controlling the raft as it moved away while paying attention to what was beneath the water.

Pang Jian was slightly surprised, not expecting that after his apology, she’d take on such rough and tiresome work.

“I still don’t know what game she’s playing. But there are sure to be dangerous creatures where the Phoenix Bone is, and having these people accompany me…”

Pang Jian muttered to himself silently.

It was only in Insect Valley, because the Phoenix Marrow had been taken by Ouyang Duanhai earlier, that they hadn’t encountered danger.

Bloodshed accompanied the first and the second Phoenix Bone.

At the first Phoenix Bone, everyone from the Shangguan Family, except Shangguan Qin, had been devoured by the tendrils.

At the second Phoenix Bone, they had also encountered a Dark Ghost attack, causing numerous members of the Zhou Family, including Ning Yuanshan, to fall into misfortune.

Because he sensed that the area surrounding the fourth Phoenix Bone might not necessarily be peaceful, Pang Jian, even though he disliked the woman before him, agreed to let her bring along the Su and He families for the exploration.

Life and death are predestined; should a calamity suddenly erupt, at least he wouldn’t be the sole target of attack.

In the Void Sea of Consciousness.

“Must you really humiliate me like this?”

Ning Yao, lurking in a dark corner, gazed resentfully at Luo Hongyan who had taken over her body and, in front of the Su and He families, humiliated her own dignity, and angrily said, “Do you find this amusing?”

“Amusing, of course it’s amusing, it’s not my body after all.”

Luo Hongyan flew about in this foreign Sea of Consciousness, her long sleeves fluttering as if she were a celestial Goddess about to ascend.

As she danced, she looked at Ning Yao’s faint soul with a smiling face and said, “The higher stance you took with him before, the lower I have to be now.”

“Why must you do this?”

Ning Yao asked, lost.

“I’m sincerely trying to please him, can’t you see that?” Luo Hongyan said, surprised.

“What you’re after is just the copper badge he wears, you just don’t dare to make a move right now. Once you figure out the secret of the badge and claim it as your own, you’re still going to kill him,” Ning Yao said coldly.

Luo Hongyan suddenly stopped, her hands crossed over her chest, her eyes reflecting contemplation, and indifferently said, “Whether I kill him or not will depend on how he treats me next.”

Their conversation took place in Ning Yao’s Sea of Consciousness, unknown to others.

…

At the shore.

“Why do I feel like Miss Ning, when facing him, acts like… a maidservant at his service?”

Su Yuntian really didn’t want to depress He Rong, but the truth was right in front of him, compelling him to say:

“According to Miss Ning’s own words, he’s just an ordinary Hunter. Just a Hunter, so why does he have such a hold over the proud Miss Ning, to make her so compliant?”
