Chapter 175: Lion Saint Sect, Whose Even Bank Account Passwords Are Seen Through, Xue Jing's Superhu
Chapter 175: Lion Saint Sect, Whose Even Bank Account Passwords Are Seen Through, Xue Jing's Superhuman Vision, and the Reappearance of the Stone-Throwing Immortal
Xue Wan stayed out until almost curfew before returning to the dorm.
As soon as she left, Nifengwan immediately transformed back into her human form, changing into loose-fitting clothes from her luggage and stretching lazily.
"Hmm... it's been so long since I've been in my human form. I'm a little unaccustomed to it now."
Ning Fengwan lazily waved at Xue Jing, inviting her over.
"Ah Jing, give me a massage."
Xue Jing smiled and sat down next to her, tucking her sleek, black hair behind her ear before placing her hands on her graceful shoulders. With her fingertips, she gently applied a soothing massage.
Under the perfect gentle force, Ning Fengwan comfortably narrowed her slender phoenix eyes.
"Ah Jing... tell me what happened when you went to the borderlands."
With a gentle look in his eyes, Xue Jing began to narrate softly as he continued the massage.
Starting from boarding the plane and encountering the sky pirates, to entering the borderlands and meeting the native, Raina, slaughtering the borderland dragon species, encountering the Mirror Man, and being informed of the 'mirror world reflection fusion' phenomenon, which required them to kill the core of the borderlands—a young pure-blooded dragon...
Aside from altering some details related to the panel to maintain secrecy, he renamed the new divine skill he acquired as 'Lord of No Face and a Thousand Faces' as a divine gift, and then he recounted everything else in great detail.
Ning Fengwan listened quietly and hummed softly when he finished. "So, I guess I'm the MVP this time?"
Xue Jing massaged her and smiled. "Yes, we owe it all to you this time."
"Being the laziest cat and dealing the highest damage, you truly are something else, Miss Wan. Reaping the rewards while relaxing at home, it's like taking candy from a baby."
Ning Fengwan lifted her head proudly. "Of course."
After a brief pause, a hint of concern crossed her face. "Ah Jing, something feels off."
Xue Jing raised an eyebrow. "Oh? How so?"
"The frequency of dangerous situations you encounter," said Ning Fengwan. "While it used to be somewhat of a joke about your body constitution, it's starting to feel a bit abnormal now."
"Let's not even mention the sky pirates you encountered on the plane. As soon as you entered the borderlands, you immediately came across the 'reflection fusion'... That's supposed to be a rare occurrence, right?"
"But not only did it happen this time, it occurred the moment you stepped in."
"I feel like it's not just a matter of good or bad luck anymore. There's something strange going on with you."
Xue Jing stroked his chin, pondering the recent turn of events.
Although he wasn't keen on admitting it, things did seem rather peculiar...
Was it because of him, or was it because of Ah Ban? While he didn't shy away from danger, to him, the word 'danger' was almost synonymous with 'opportunity'.
However, not knowing the reason behind it all still made him feel a little uneasy.
Hmm, when in doubt, ask Yuqing A Dream.
After returning to Qingcheng, he would consult the rich boss lady and see if she had any insights.
"We can discuss this later. Even if there's something strange going on, there's no solution for it at the moment." Xue Jing changed the subject. "By the way, has Mr. An from the Dragon Sect contacted you again?"
Ning Fengwan let out a comfortable hum as Xue Jing's massage hit the right spot. "I don't know... After you left for the borderlands, I've been in my cat form the entire time and haven't had access to the internet."
Xue Jing thought for a moment. "My sister mentioned that the Flower God Society received news that members of the Lion Saint Sect have recently appeared in Fengcheng."
At this news, Ning Fengwan narrowed her phoenix eyes. "Are they here for me? How did they even know I was here?"
The cat tail ring fused with her, which was a sacred object of the Lion Saint Sect, was something Xue Jing had already told her about.
Xue Jing frowned in thought. "I don't know... But even though I have no basis for this, my intuition tells me it might have something to do with Mr. An."
Ning Fengwan considered this and nodded. "If it is related to Mr. An, then he has betrayed me... and Mr. An knows about our relationship."
Her expression gradually turned serious. "In other words, the Lion Saint Sect knows that I'm by your side."
"...You're quite famous now. They must have guessed that you'd be waiting at the stadium for your match to end. Perhaps, as you made your way back, members of the Lion Saint Sect were already following you."
Xue Jing also thought of this and smiled as he said, "No wonder you used to be a cult leader, Ms. Wan. You're so smart."
Ning Fengwan rolled her eyes. "Be serious. The Lion Saint Sect could be lurking right outside. We're in danger."
Xue Jing pondered for a moment before replying, "We can't be certain that Mr. An is connected to the Lion Saint Sect, but we must remain vigilant. If they've pinpointed our location, the fact that they haven't made a move yet suggests they have their reservations. Nonetheless, they will undoubtedly act to retrieve the 'sacred object.'"
"If there's something in Fengcheng that they're wary of, they'll wait until we're in a place where they have no such concerns before making their move."
Xue Jing and Ning Fengwan exchanged a glance, both saying, "At sea."
"We're taking a boat back to Qingcheng," they added.
"If that's the case, the Lion Saint Sect will follow us onto the ship," Xue Jing said, narrowing his eyes slightly.
"To get on the boat, they'll definitely show up at the pier," he continued.
Ning Fengwan pouted and asked, "If I were a member of the Lion Saint Sect, I'd be asking you for my bank account password right about now."
Xue Jing laughed. "It's just a guess. Maybe I'm just being paranoid."
...
Over the next few days, Xue Jing spent his time practicing his martial arts in the small gym in the hotel room and studying the usage of [Dragon Horn], all while keeping Xue Wan company as they explored Fengcheng.
With the aid of the Silver Dragon Thunder, his progress in martial arts could be described as astonishing, and he could feel himself growing stronger with each passing day.
Time passed slowly, and a few days later, it was already December 29th.
Xue Wan had taken a day off in advance to start her New Year holiday early, as she planned to return to Qingcheng with Xue Jing.
Around noon, the two of them, along with Ning Fengwan in her cat form, arrived at the Fengcheng Wharf with their luggage in tow.
Ignoring the cooling weather, Xue Wan was dressed for summer, wearing a sun hat as she happily exclaimed, "We're finally going back to Qingcheng! I can't wait to have some instant noodles cooked in the pot at home."
Xue Jing, standing beside her, scanned the surroundings with his eyes, casually replying, "What's so special about instant noodles? What's this about a pot? You're talking nonsense to someone who doesn't understand cooking."
Xue Wan waved her hand dismissively. "Then you'd better remember that phrase."
The cat sat perched on Xue Jing's shoulder, licking its paw.
Out of concern for the Lion Saint Sect, Xue Jing had been extra cautious over the past few days, never letting Ning Fengwan out of his sight, even when they went out.
Previously, Ning Fengwan had forcibly extracted the Snake-Slayer Soldier for Xue Jing to use, so her ability was still recovering and her combat strength was weak.
Xue Jing's eyes scanned the area like lightning.
Everyone who came into his line of sight couldn't help but shiver, feeling their hairs stand on end.
Since arriving at the port, he had carefully scrutinized almost everyone coming and going, but he hadn't noticed anything particularly amiss.
"Am I overthinking this?" he wondered.
Just then, he casually glanced to the side.
It was a completely unintentional glance, and with normal vision, it would have been impossible to notice anything.
But Xue Jing possessed a skill called [Aim], and its level was as high as Lv9.
His superhuman vision, far beyond human limits, pierced through the countless overlapping figures and transparent windows, noticing something amiss in a gap smaller than a mosquito's body.
Leaning against the railing of a platform by the coastline, two tall figures caught his attention. They wore black scarves around their heads and thick fur collars around their necks, their incongruous postures resembling upright cat-like beasts.
This unusual sight immediately confirmed to Xue Jing that these individuals were members of the Lion Saint Sect.
After a moment's thought, Xue Jing crouched down and placed his hand on the concrete floor, channeling his energy. With a quick flick of his fingers, he silently dislodged a suitably sized chunk of concrete.
"It's time for the Stone-Throwing Immortal to make a comeback," he murmured.
