Chapter 39 Ning Fengzhi and the Cat Girl
Early the next morning, Zhongli set off in person, taking Dugu Bo, Snow Emperor, and three eight-ring-level Tiandou Empire ministers with him to visit the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.
The headquarters of the Qibao Glazed Sect is located on Qibao Mountain outside Tiandou City. They spent a lot of money to build a small city here with a permanent population of several thousand people. When Zhong Li and his party arrived at the gate of Qibao Glazed Sect, the sect leader Ning Fengzhi, who had been notified before, was already waiting at the door in person. Standing next to him was the swordsman Luo Chenxin who was dressed in white and had a capable temperament.
Chen Xin's eyes fell on the woman in white next to Zhong Li, whom he had never seen before, and his pupils shrank suddenly.
Ning Fengzhi didn't have enough cultivation to feel anything wrong; but in his vague perception, this stunning woman who looked to be in her twenties actually gave him a feeling as deep as a prison. A feeling of extreme terror. Just like the great priest of Wuhun Palace whom he had only seen from a distance.
When did the Tiandou Empire gain such a terrifying existence? What is going on? Or am I too old and my perception is wrong? No, not possible.
"Nephew Li Xian, why do you think of coming to your uncle Fengzhi to have a look?"
Ning Fengzhi walked forward with a smile, took the initiative to hold Zhongli's hand, and said as if an elder saw the affection of a junior.
"I came here to see Uncle Fengzhi. I also have some things that I want to discuss with Uncle Fengzhi. If I disturb Uncle Fengzhi, please forgive me."
Zhongli performed the standard etiquette of the royal family and nobles of the Tiandou Empire, and said like a noble who has been immersed in this way for who knows how many years.
"Haha, what are you talking about? Nephew, come in and talk. Uncle Fengzhi misses you very much too!"
Ning Fengzhi personally led Zhongli and his party into the Qibao Glazed Sect, and then sat down in the luxurious reception hall of the Qibao Glazed Sect. The chairs they were sitting on were made of the leather of an extremely expensive rhinoceros soul beast, and the corners of the table were inlaid with gems, reflecting the ultimate splendor of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect. Even in the Tiandou Imperial Palace, which was famous for its extravagance, it was nothing more than this.
A catwoman with a professional smile on her face came forward, wearing cool clothes, and poured a cup of tea for each of the guests, giving off a faint scent of tea.
Seeing Zhongli's gaze lingering on the catwoman for a moment, Ning Fengzhi immediately said: "My dear nephew, this girl is the grand treasure that my uncle bought at the auction house for a big price some time ago. She still has it now. I haven’t touched it. Ahem. If my nephew is interested, I will give it to my nephew.”
Zhongli: "."
A flash of embarrassment and sadness flashed across the catwoman's eyes, but she stood there with that unchanging smile on her face. Perhaps for people like them, they have long accepted the fact that their destiny is not up to them.
Zhongli pondered for a moment. He also knew that on Douluo Continent, there were groups like cat women, wolf women, and even dragon women. From the appearance, they look like spirit masters possessed by beast spirits possessed by spirits, but in fact they are born this way. Therefore, such existence is also deeply loved by some special enthusiasts. Especially the cat girl in front of me not only has a pair of fluffy cat ears, but also has a really good appearance. It’s no wonder that in Ning Fengzhi’s view, this is a “soul that can be saved.”
Zhongli also knew the origin of these people. In fact, this is not just a simple mutation of martial souls, but a mixture of humans and soul beasts, just like Tang San who was born from the Blue Silver Emperor and a human. When soul beasts reach the realm of one hundred thousand years, they can produce offspring with humans. For some special soul beast races, such as dragons, auspicious beasts, and some sea soul beasts, the threshold is much lower.
Looking at this girl, Zhongli couldn't help but think of many old friends, the chubby girl who liked to follow him when he was a child.
In Liyue, there are many such hybrids of humans and fairy beasts, but they are not subject to any discrimination or oppression. They can also use their abilities and specialties to realize their own value in various fields of society. All eight gates in Liyue have these mixed-race children.
But in Douluo Continent, just staying alive is already the biggest difficulty for them. Their tribes either huddle together on the border and struggle to survive, or they are hunted by the human army like the spirit beasts, or they are captured and used as slaves.
This Catwoman's fate is already good. If she didn't have such a beautiful appearance, her fate might be much more tragic, and there would be no chance of her seeing herself here.
"Thank you very much, Uncle Fengzhi."
Zhong Li took a sip of tea and said calmly. A look of "I see" flashed across Ning Fengzhi's eyes. However, he didn't notice the faint coldness in Zhongli's tone
"Nephew Li Xian, what do you want to do when you come to see me?"
After Ning Fengzhi also took a sip of tea, his expression became slightly more serious and he asked. "Ding."
Two hidden weapons were placed on the table. One is an insinuation that it was damaged after it was originally disassembled, and the other is a silent sleeve arrow. Ning Fengzhi's expression couldn't help but change slightly.
"Nephew, this is"
"Uncle Fengzhi. The most regrettable thing about your Qibao Glazed Pagoda lineage is that you do not have combat power. Now that you have this magical weapon, this regret can be made up for. It is really gratifying and congratulatory."
< br>
Zhongli said calmly. Although he said it was "gratifying and congratulatory", there was no hint of "gratifying and congratulatory" in his tone?
"Oh, my nephew said this. In fact, I don't hide it from you, my nephew; although this hidden weapon is powerful, for our Qibao Glazed Sect, it is just scratching the surface. We only purchased a batch of hidden weapons through some channels, but After all, these are just consumables. As for the maker of the hidden weapon, as well as the blueprints for making the hidden weapon, we didn’t get these most critical things!”
Ning Fengzhi slapped her thigh and said with great regret.
Zhong Li just glanced at Ning Fengzhi lightly.
I believe you. It's true that you said you didn't get the drawings; but when it comes to who the maker of the hidden weapon is, do you dare to say that you don't know him?
In fact, if they hadn't known who Tang San's father was, the Qibao Glazed Sect would have taken action long ago, tied up Tang San and tortured him about the production method.
"Uncle Fengzhi. To be honest, these so-called 'hidden weapons' are actually weapons secretly researched by our Tiandou Royal Scientific Research Institute. These two are just a batch of experimental products. But I don't know why. , these experimental products have been circulated, it is because of our royal management's oversight, which makes everyone laugh. "
Zhongli sighed lightly, looked at the half-drunk tea, and said calmly. For a moment, whether it was Chen Xin, Ning Fengzhi, or even the three worshipers on his side, they couldn't help but froze on the spot.
Dedicated to: Royal Scientific Research Institute? Why don’t we know that our Tiandou Empire Royal Family still has this thing?
Ning Fengzhi: "???"
After a long time, Ning Fengzhi came back to his senses. He took a deep breath and made sure that the smile on his face was still there. Then he looked at Zhongli and said, "My nephew, you are joking. The origin of this hidden weapon is mysterious. How could it be possible?" Did it come from the hands of the Tiandou Royal Family?”
Sword Douluo looked at Zhongli with a rather unkind look. Why hadn't I noticed before that the fifth prince of the Tiandou Empire was such a liar and never drafted a plan? This guy is obviously talking nonsense, but the look on his face seems to be stating a fact!
But there is a saying, being able to make up a story in such a serious manner is considered a skill. Why doesn’t our Qibao Glazed Sect have such talents?
Who knows, Zhongli stood up.
"Uncle Fengzhi, if you don't believe it, just look at this."
Under the gazes of Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin, a strange artifact appeared in Zhongli's hand.
What appeared in Zhongli's hand was an exquisite jade flute, about one foot and two inches long. It was carved entirely from rare ice jade. Its color was as warm as jade, and it exuded a faint fluorescence.
The body of the flute is engraved with delicate fairy cloud patterns, as well as ancient symbols that neither Ning Fengzhi nor Chen Xin can understand. I don't know why, Chen Xin's intuition feels that these symbols are not only beautiful and elegant, but also seem to contain some kind of strange power. The flute hole is inlaid with tiny gems, and the color and size of each gem are also different. Just like the Big Dipper.
