Chapter 257 Ling Feng in Disgrace
Ling Feng is currently living a very poor life.
Ever since Ling Feng exploded while refining pills and was scolded by Fang Shiqing, he was forced by Fang Shiqing to take on a job gathering herbs.
She had to get up early in the morning to go up the mountain to collect herbs, and when she came back at noon, she had to refine pills for Fang Shiqing. Only in the evening did she have time to cultivate her golden finger.
After his trip to Moyun Kingdom, people around him became increasingly distant, and secretly made things difficult for him in various matters.
Every now and then, Fang Shiqing would catch him and give him a good scolding.
However, he did not succumb to despair. He knew that these pains were temporary and that one day he would reach the peak and trample all of them under his feet.
Especially Bai Ke! Ling Feng had already mentally planned hundreds of ways for Bai Ke to die.
Xin'er, you will always belong to me, and no one can take you away!
As Ling Feng walked, lost in thought, he carefully touched the jade wrench on his left thumb and murmured:
"Thanks to you, I was able to find this legendary ethereal flower today."
"No need to be polite, we are interdependent. I still need you to do my things for me." The ring seemed to respond to Ling Feng with its own thoughts.
Ling Feng nodded and was about to walk into the pill department when he heard a familiar yet loathsome voice from behind him.
"Hey, isn't this Junior Brother Ling Feng?" Bai Ke exclaimed in a serious tone, "What are you doing? How can a dignified inner disciple be doing such chores?"
Who on earth dares to slander you? Tell your senior brother immediately! I've seen it all, and it pains me to see it!
Bai Ke vividly portrays the ugly face of a shameless villain who kicks someone when they're down.
Seeing Bai Ke's clumsy acting, Su Ziyuan, who was in his arms, burst out laughing.
"Bai Ke, stop putting on airs!" Ling Feng gritted his teeth in anger.
"Junior Brother Ling, you're mistaken." Bai Ke secretly pinched Su Ziyuan's pert buttocks, making her so embarrassed that she buried her head in Bai Ke's arms.
Bai Ke continued, "As the senior disciple of Tian Ce Palace, it is my duty to care for my junior brothers and sisters. How could you think of me in such a despicable way?"
Ling Feng stared coldly at Bai Ke, his heart filled with the urge to tear him to pieces! Unfortunately, he lacked the strength to do so and had to suppress his impulsive thoughts.
"Bai Ke, you've achieved your goal of humiliating me. Are you satisfied now? I don't care about getting entangled with you, so please don't bother me anymore."
After saying that, Ling Feng turned and left.
Ling Feng felt a surge of secret satisfaction, thinking the trip had been worthwhile. He then prepared to get down to business. Suddenly, the system sent him a message:
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully humiliating the protagonist Ling Feng, which fits the villain setting. This system will reward you with 50 evil points."
"Ding! Detected that the protagonist of destiny, Ling Feng, has obtained an important item of destiny. An emergency mission is hereby issued!"
Task Name: [Item of Fortune]
Task Difficulty: Normal
Mission objective: Obtain the Void Soul Grass from Ling Feng, the protagonist of Destiny.
Completion Rewards: 5000 Evil Points, one chance to draw a prize, and the "Soul Splitting Technique".
Failure penalty: 5000 evil points will be deducted (if the evil points are deducted to a negative number, the user will be eliminated).
The first Bai Ke didn't react much, but he panicked after reading the second one.
"System, you son of a bitch! Aren't you forcing me to complete this mission? I only have 500 evil points right now. Are you just telling me outright that you're going to kill me if I don't complete it?" Bai Ke cursed in the system space.
The system, unusually, did not respond, which made Bai Ke even more terrified.
Without saying a word, he put Su Ziyuan down, who had regained some strength, and told her to stay where she was and wait for him.
He immediately flew after him, and without saying a word, he blocked Ling Feng's way of leaving. Ignoring his angry expression, he carefully examined him.
"Bai Ke, what are you trying to do now?" Ling Feng said angrily.
Ling Feng felt helpless and angry.
He was already having a run of bad luck lately, and now his mortal enemy came to humiliate him again.
Unfortunately, he can't do anything about Bai Ke right now! He can't kill him, and if he does, he'll face retaliation from Bai Ke's father, Bai Yan, and the entire Tian Ce Palace.
Let alone old monsters at the Void Returning Realm, even a Nascent Soul cultivator like Bai Yan wouldn't be confident of escaping unscathed.
Bai Ke had observed enough and thought to himself: Unless the jade wrench on Ling Feng's left thumb has a storage function, the only thing he can hide on his body is the medicine basket on his back.
"Junior Brother Ling, I am now ordering you, in my capacity as a deacon of the Enforcement Hall, to hand over the medicine basket on your back so I can inspect it."
"I suspect it contains highly toxic herbs that don't meet the regulations of the Pill Hall." Bai Ke made up a reason on the spot, wanting to test Ling Feng.
"Impossible!" Ling Feng suddenly became agitated and shouted, "You despicable and insidious villain, you're clearly just looking for trouble!"
They want to prevent me from completing the medicine hall mission and get punished! The dignified senior brother of Tian Sheng Peak has such a narrow mind; he's truly not afraid of being laughed at.
To tell you the truth, this basket only contains some common alchemical herbs; there are no highly poisonous herbs at all!
"It must be in the basket!" Seeing Ling Feng's sudden unusual excitement, Bai Ke gradually became certain of his idea and shouted loudly:
"Ling Feng! As a deacon of the Enforcement Hall, I have the right to eliminate anything that threatens the interests of the sect. It is perfectly reasonable for me to check your basket!"
Why won't you let me inspect your basket? Are you hiding something?
Ling Feng gritted his teeth, but didn't know how to refute it. After all, checking the medicine basket was nothing, the important thing was that the Void Soul Divine Grass was inside.
His mind raced, trying to figure out how to overcome this challenge...
Damn it! That damned Bai Ke, of all times, had to come at this crucial moment when I obtained this treasure!
Although he certainly doesn't recognize such an extraterrestrial divine object, the Void Soul Divine Grass has special properties and is somewhat fragile after being unearthed. If he rummages around and breaks my Void Soul Divine Grass, I'll be the one who suffers in the end...
At that moment, a mental message came from the jade wrench: Calm down, he couldn't possibly know the divine herb! Let him investigate, it's fine.
After receiving the telepathic message, Ling Feng tried his best to calm his agitated emotions. He knew that getting agitated now would be useless; he didn't yet have enough strength and had to be patient and bide his time!
"You can investigate if you want, but don't damage the medicinal herbs I painstakingly collected. That's the bottom line!" Ling Feng said, emphasizing each word.
Bai Ke was also getting impatient, repeatedly saying "okay," his mood somewhat irritable.
Why don't white-hat thieves dare to openly rob people?
Because he understands that when these protagonists are forced into a desperate situation, they usually have their protagonist halo activated, their luck enhanced, and then they use various inexplicable factors to kill the villains.
If it weren't for Ling Feng's protagonist aura, he would have crushed and killed Ling Feng with his Nascent Soul Realm cultivation, seized the quest item, and been done with it. Why would he be wasting his time arguing with him here?
Bai Ke took the medicine basket and couldn't wait to start rummaging through it.
