Retaliation

Xiao Li struggled to his feet, coughing up a mouthful of blood. His features were still handsome, but he looked like a defeated dog.

On the street, passing martial artists stared at him with mocking eyes. Some jeered, "Another one abandoned by Silver Pool Madam, a minister beneath the skirt."

"Bah! Minister beneath the skirt, my ass! Just a plaything on Silver Pool Madam's bed. A spineless man like that deserves to be beaten to death by Silver Pool Madam."

"Just a dog raised by Silver Pool Madam!"

Xiao Li gritted his teeth, his Profound Qi surging as he severely injured several martial artists who mocked him, throwing them into the stinking ditch.

He hated Ning Xiaochuan to the core. If not for Ning Xiaochuan's appearance, he would have performed a great service for Silver Pool Madam, and perhaps he could have enjoyed the pleasures of the flesh with her tonight.

At the same time, he also hated Silver Pool Madam.

This woman had completely ruined him, turning him into a dog, a male dog serving her.

When she was angry, she would ruthlessly abandon him without the slightest hesitation.

She was a female dog.

A female dog that anyone could sleep with!

"Silver Pool Madam, one day I will make you kneel on the ground and lick my toes, making you my, Xiao Li's, slave."

Xiao Li knew that he was far from being Silver Pool Madam's match, and he couldn't even leave her. Silver Pool Madam's body drove him crazy. He decided to kill Ning Xiaochuan and offer Ning Xiaochuan's head to Silver Pool Madam. Perhaps he could return to her side and be loved by her again.

With this thought, Xiao Li hurried towards the Golden Roc Heart Nourishing Hall.

Inside the Golden Roc Heart Nourishing Hall.

Ning Xiaochuan placed the blood-red Bloodstone Profound Grass back into the box.

"Chī!"

The Bloodstone Profound Grass immediately turned into a pile of stone powder! In reality, Ning Xiaochuan had not turned the Stone Grass back into Bloodstone Profound Grass. He had merely used the Blood Toad Wood Qi in his body to create an illusion.

Once the Stone Grass left Ning Xiaochuan's hand, it would immediately turn into stone powder.

It could be said that this time was quite dangerous. In the contest between the two Heart Nourishing Halls, the Golden Roc Heart Nourishing Hall had ultimately won.

"Fortunately, Silver Pool Madam is in a fit of anger and didn't really take this Stone Grass away, otherwise, it would have been a big problem." Ning Xiaochuan breathed a deep sigh of relief.

Yu Qianqian looked very happy and said, "Silver Pool Madam is a Martial Dao powerhouse, and she controls the power of a marquis's mansion, with many talents and countless experts. She can almost do anything she wants in the Qi Tian Marquis's Mansion. Such a proud woman, having suffered such a great loss, naturally fled in panic. How could she be in the mood to care about a fourth-grade Profound Medicine? Xiao Chuan, thank you this time. If it weren't for you, the reputation of the Golden Roc Heart Nourishing Hall would probably be ruined."

Ning Xiaochuan said, "As a Heart Nourisher of the Golden Roc Heart Nourishing Hall, receiving the monthly salary of the Golden Roc Heart Nourishing Hall, these are naturally things I should do."

The Sixth Deacon carried a small box made of ice jade and walked over, respectfully presenting it to Yu Qianqian.

Yu Qianqian's jade fingers were slender as she handed the small box to Ning Xiaochuan, smiling elegantly, "Xiao Chuan, this time you have made a great contribution to the Golden Roc Heart Nourishing Hall, so the Heart Nourishing Hall has decided to give you a reward."

Ning Xiaochuan originally wanted to refuse, but suddenly a subtle feeling arose in his heart, so he took the small box and opened it.

Inside the box lay a pill the size of a soybean, round and crystalline, with wisps of Profound Qi flowing around it, emitting a rich fragrance.

Ning Xiaochuan only took a breath of the pill's Qi and felt the blood in his body accelerate, the Martial Dao Profound Qi in his body running rapidly, making "噼里啪啦" bursting sounds.

"Intermediate Pill!" Ning Xiaochuan was overjoyed and quickly closed the box, saying, "Thank you, Princess, for the reward!"

The value of an Intermediate Pill was quite high, so Ning Xiaochuan naturally wouldn't refuse. To the Golden Roc Heart Nourishing Hall, this was just a drop in the bucket.

With this Intermediate Pill, breaking through to the Divine Body Realm was just around the corner.

Once he reached the Divine Body Realm, Ning Xiaochuan could refine Intermediate Pills himself.

Yu Qianqian's figure was petite and exquisite, her bright eyes and white teeth as delicate as a crescent moon. She said cautiously, "There is one more thing I must remind you. Although Silver Pool Madam is very beautiful and enchanting, her reputation is extremely bad. In the past ten years, she has raised many gigolos, but these gigolos have all died in her hands. It's best not to have any contact with this kind of woman. Once you come into contact with her, she will ruin your future."

Ning Xiaochuan's mind recalled the figure of that elegant and charming woman. She was indeed an unparalleled enchantress, and her beauty was comparable to Yu Qianqian. However, her plump and sexy figure was enough to kill a green girl like Yu Qianqian, so she was even more soul-stirring and seductive than Yu Qianqian.

If she really wanted to seduce a man, there were probably not many men in the world who could resist her seduction. Even Ning Xiaochuan was not confident that he could retreat unscathed from her seduction.

The Sixth Deacon stood not far away, watching Yu Qianqian and Ning Xiaochuan. Although they were only sixteen or seventeen years old, they both showed a wisdom and calmness that surpassed their peers.

Just looking at their wisdom and methods in dealing with Silver Pool Madam today, they were even more powerful than the older generation. These two would definitely be extraordinary in the future.

Yu Qianqian said, "If you need any help in the future, you can come to the Great Golden Roc King Residence at any time. There really aren't many things in this world that the Great Golden Roc King Residence can't handle."

Ning Xiaochuan also purchased a large number of Profound Medicines from the Golden Roc Heart Nourishing Hall, such as Nourishing Heart Grass, Blood Accumulation Grass, Fracture Rejoining Bone Grass, and so on. He now had 6.3 million small coins on him, which could be considered a considerable fortune, so he could naturally buy a large quantity of Profound Medicines.

After purchasing the Profound Medicines, Ning Xiaochuan drove the Azure Deer carriage back to Begonia Manor.

When the Azure Deer carriage drove out of the Imperial City, Ning Xiaochuan suddenly stopped the carriage and said, "Friend, you've been following me all the way from the Imperial City to here. Aren't you tired?"

"Bang!"

A cold snort came from the bottom of the Azure Deer carriage.

Xiao Li flew out from under the Azure Deer carriage and threw a punch. The powerful Profound Qi on his body shattered the entire Azure Deer carriage.

"Clatter!"

The coins on the carriage scattered, covering the ground.

The carriage was also torn to pieces.

Ning Xiaochuan took the lead to leap out, dodging Xiao Li's punch, and hurriedly retreated to a distance, staring at the disheveled young man who flew out from under the Azure Deer carriage.

Wasn't this the handsome young man who followed Silver Pool Madam?

Xiao Li glanced at Ning Xiaochuan coldly, "Your vigilance is quite high. How long have you known I was hiding under the carriage?"

Ning Xiaochuan said, "Your cultivation is also high enough to be able to hide from my Heart Spirit Perception. It wasn't until we left the Imperial City and the killing intent in your heart became so strong that you couldn't control it yourself that I sensed someone was hiding under the carriage. Did Silver Pool Madam send you to kill me?"

"I don't like wasting so much time with a dead man like you." In Xiao Li's eyes, Ning Xiaochuan was already a dead man. He condensed a Profound Qi Sword in his palm and walked towards Ning Xiaochuan step by step.

Ning Xiaochuan felt a powerful pressure sweeping over him, as if the entire space had solidified, making it extremely difficult for him to move even a finger.

This young man must be at the Divine Body Realm. He was definitely no match for him now.

"Wait, are you so sure you can kill me?" Ning Xiaochuan appeared extremely calm and not flustered.

Xiao Li sneered and said, "You are only at the Profound Qi Ninth Level, and you are also a Heart Nourisher. Do you think you have a chance of survival in my hands?"

The combat power of a Profound Qi Ninth Level Heart Nourisher is definitely not as good as a Profound Qi Ninth Level martial artist.

What's more, Xiao Li was at the first level of the Divine Body Realm. He was confident that killing a Profound Qi Ninth Level Heart Nourisher was an easy task.

"I don't even know your name yet. Even if you want to kill me, you should at least let me die knowing who did it." Ning Xiaochuan knew that he was doomed today, so he tried to delay as much as possible, hoping to encounter some passing Martial Dao expert who could save his life.

However, to his disappointment, his luck was not good today, and no one came to save him.

"Xiao Li!"

Xiao Li stopped talking nonsense with Ning Xiaochuan. Sword Qi slashed out diagonally, the sword light like lightning, instantly flying to Ning Xiaochuan's neck.

Since no one was coming to save him, he could only save himself.

At the moment Xiao Li released his sword, Ning Xiaochuan circulated the Profound Qi in his body, condensing a layer of protective XuanGang, and turned to flee.

"Bang!"

Sword Qi struck the protective XuanGang on Ning Xiaochuan's back, breaking the XuanGang and leaving a bloody wound on Ning Xiaochuan's back.

Ning Xiaochuan used this impact to propel his body forward five zhang.

Xiao Li originally thought that this sword would be able to cut off Ning Xiaochuan's head. He did not expect that the protective XuanGang of a Profound Qi Ninth Level Heart Nourisher would be so strong, able to withstand a sword from a Divine Body Realm martial artist and only suffer an injury.

He did not know that although Ning Xiaochuan was a Heart Nourisher, his combat power was not weaker than martial artists of the same realm. On the contrary, because he possessed the Seven Aperture God-Demon Heart Palace, he was almost invincible in the same realm.

By the time Xiao Li reacted, Ning Xiaochuan had already escaped more than ten zhang away.

"Your speed of escape is quite fast, but unfortunately, you are destined to die today." Xiao Li let out a long howl and then quickly chased after Ning Xiaochuan, his speed much faster than Ning Xiaochuan.
