Chapter 19: The protagonist plotted to shame him, and the villain brazenly flirted with his sister.

Qin Yu’s face turned dark.

Damn, how did they think of him even for this?

“Heh…..”

Qin Yu’s cheeks burned, yet he could only swallow the insult and said, “That is going too far; how could anyone be like that in this world… may I have your name, Brother?”

Seeing that Qin Yu wanted to change the subject, Ning Bei gave him no chance and said, “Brother Dog, I was not making things up; everything is true, and if you do not believe me you can ask these Junior Brothers of mine.”

“Senior Brother Ning is absolutely right!”

“You have never seen that guy; he really can poop his pants while standing.”

“Haha, that Qin Yu is unbelievable; after he finished, he even had to feel the warmth, it was disgusting.”

When this matter came up, Wang Teng and the others expressed their opinions, each laughing so hard their mouths would not close.

The grating laughter nearly made Qin Yu vomit blood in anger.

This was simply too much bullying.

Although he had messed his trousers, he never wanted to feel the warmth.

Yet he could not refute this slander, so he forced a laugh and said, “Haha… so Brother, your surname is Ning; judging by your attire, you all seem to be from the Heavenly Martial Academy, right?”

“Exactly, Brother Dog really knows the world,” Ning Bei followed up, “Since we hit it off at first sight, from now on I will call you Doggo, and you can call me Brother Ning; how about we become friends?”

Doggo?

“You…”

Qin Yu nearly blurted out a curse, but with his last shred of reason he swallowed it.

He had already hidden his identity, yet Ning Bei could still humiliate him like this.

Their eight characters must truly clash.

“Our Senior Brother Ning is very kind, and he is also the chief disciple of the Heavenly Martial Academy; you should feel honored, Doggo,” Wang Teng said familiarly.

“Heh heh… that is truly my honor,” Qin Yu almost ran out of air from anger, yet he still forced a smile, “Brother Ning, let us not waste time and explore this place quickly.”

“Indeed.”

Ning Bei pretended to realize something, pulled Qin Yu forward, and said, “Doggo, you travel far and wide, so you must be strong; come on, you walk in front and scout the way.”

“?”

Qin Yu ground his teeth in fury, his whole body trembling.

At this point he could only comfort himself that leading the way was better, because once he found the Blood Ganoderma he would be the first to grab it.

After all, with his master’s protection, nothing would go wrong.

Thus.

The group continued onward.

Qin Jiujiu seemed to notice something and whispered, “Ning Bei, why do I feel like you are picking on him on purpose?”

“I am doing it on purpose,” Ning Bei admitted, “He claims to be a roaming cultivator yet suddenly shows up to join us; obviously he wants to use us as pawns… Jiujiu, do you think I am being too mean?”

As he spoke, Ning Bei’s pure eyes stared straight at the girl.

“Not at all!” Qin Jiujiu shook her head quickly and added, “When you agreed to team up with a stranger I was worried, but now that I know you are this bad… hehe, I feel relieved instead.”

“Really? Then I will learn to be even worse in the future.”

“Eh?”

Qin Jiujiu’s lovely face froze for a second;

Meeting Ning Bei’s smiling starry eyes, her heart suddenly raced, “I… I did not mean that… ah, Ning Bei, watch out!”

A demonic beast suddenly leaped from the side, and Qin Jiujiu immediately struck.

Holy light flowed from her palm and in an instant formed a golden lotus that blasted the beast like a cannonball, sending it flying.

In a flash the battle ended cleanly.

The disciples in the rear could not help cheering.

“Senior Sister Qin is amazing!”

“In the whole academy, probably only Senior Brother Ning is worthy of Senior Sister Qin.”

“Hey, stop joking around and stay alert.”

Ning Bei looked at the crowd and scolded them with feigned displeasure.

Instead of being afraid, they teased him, “Senior Sister Qin did not say anything, so why are you blushing, Senior Brother Ning?”

“…..”

Ning Bei sighed helplessly and looked at the girl whose pretty face was flushed, “Jiujiu, do not mind them.”

“It is fine, they are just joking.”

Qin Jiujiu blushed and bit her lip as she spoke.

Faced with the teasing about her and Ning Bei, she felt no resistance; instead, an indescribable sweetness filled her heart.

The feeling was very strange.

Only Qin Yu, walking in front, almost cracked his molars in anger, ‘Bastard… you ruined my reputation, and now you dare spread rumors with my sister?’

Scoundrel!

Qin Yu could not understand.

His sister had always been cold and rejected every man, so why was she not angry now?

She could not possibly like Ning Bei, could she?

That was absolutely impossible; he knew his sister well.

Sensing Qin Yu’s rage, the soul remnant inside him spoke and told him how Ning Bei had refined it with talismans, deliberately omitting the reason.

Hearing this for the first time, Qin Yu was shocked, “What? Master… does that mean my sister is being threatened by Ning Bei?”

“That is possible, though not certain.”

“It must be that!”

Qin Yu reached his own conclusion.

He had long felt that events were turning strange, beyond normal understanding; so this was the hidden truth?

It turned out his sister was being controlled.

My poor sister… you must have been threatened by Ning Bei, so you pretended not to want to talk to me.

“Quick, there is a trace of Blood Ganoderma ahead,” the soul remnant transmitted to Qin Yu.

Swish!

Without another word, Qin Yu quickened his pace.

“Oh?”

Seeing this, Ning Bei narrowed his eyes slightly… it seemed the target had been found.

“Everyone, pick up the pace!”

After calling out, Ning Bei darted forward.

“Damn, why did he speed up too?”

Watching Ning Bei close in, Qin Yu felt a headache, but he could not stop now and could only run faster.

Before long.

A cave emitting a glaring crimson glow appeared, and at its entrance a spiritual herb swayed in the wind.

Its stalk was thin, topped by a dazzling red flower, and each time it moved countless tiny motes painted the air blood-red.

Blood Ganoderma!

Qin Yu’s blood boiled.

This was his chance to rise again, a treasure to defy fate!

He had finally found it.

Bang…

Before he could rejoice for two seconds, a big foot suddenly kicked him.

“Ouch~”

Qin Yu fell flat on his face.

When he got up, he saw that the coveted Blood Ganoderma had already been picked by Ning Bei.

“I saw it first,” Qin Yu cried.

“So seeing it first makes it yours?” Ning Bei sneered, “I came here for it in the first place.”

“You…”

Qin Yu’s liver nearly burst with anger.

Seeing the others arrive, he suddenly had an idea and said, “Ning Bei, as the chief disciple of the Heavenly Martial Academy you represent the academy’s honor; you should set an example for your fellow disciples. I clearly saw the Blood Ganoderma first, yet you claimed you were here for it. Did you know in advance it was here? How can you be so shameless for a Blood Ganoderma? How will others respect you in the future?”

Moral coercion?

Ning Bei answered unhurriedly, “You guessed right; I knew it was here from the start. If you do not believe me, ask her. Jiujiu, am I telling the truth?”

“Yes.”

Qin Jiujiu nodded without hesitation and said, “Before we set out, we had already decided to look for the Blood Ganoderma. Saying Ning Bei is shameless… you are the one who is truly shameless.”

“I…”

Qin Yu stared blankly at his sister.

At this moment, Wang Teng and the others chimed in.

“When Senior Brother Ning talked to Senior Sister Qin, I also heard they were looking for the Blood Ganoderma.”

“That’s right, I think I heard ‘ganoderma’ too.”

“Senior Brother Ning didn’t pick any herbs along the way; he was protecting us all the time and only sped up just now, clearly because he knew the Blood Ganoderma was here.”

“…..”

Qin Yu’s scalp went numb.

Not only had he failed to morally corner Ning Bei, he had roused everyone’s anger.

Damn, how did it come to this?

How did Ning Bei know the Blood Ganoderma was here?

“Um, Brother Ning, could you look for another herb? It seems this Blood Ganoderma is useless to you, right?”

Qin Yu forced a smile and switched to a softer tone when the hard approach failed.

After all, the Blood Ganoderma was far too important to him.

He could beg without dignity.

Ning Bei glanced at the Blood Ganoderma, “You are right; this Blood Ganoderma means little to me, but someone else needs it badly, and I picked it for her.”

“Who?”

Qin Yu asked anxiously, “Whoever it is, just tell her you couldn’t find it… I will owe you a favor… it is fine to lie to her.”

“But I do not want to lie to her; that girl is very important to me.”

“Come on, how important can she be!” Qin Yu was truly desperate. “Women are like clothes; you are so handsome that there is no need to be so sincere to one woman!”

“…..”

Ning Bei acted as though he had not heard Qin Yu’s plea.

Under the gaze of the crowd, he walked straight to Qin Jiujiu, held the Blood Ganoderma in both hands, and said, “Jiujiu, happy birthday.”

“Hm?”

Qin Jiujiu suddenly covered her mouth.

Qin Yu: “???”

Damn, I have become the clown.
