The Gate Of Good Fortune c1-905

  Ning Ruolan looked up and spoke up with tears in her eyes, “Brother, I’m dreaming, aren’t I?”

  “No, from this day forward we siblings will stick with each other. You don’t have to worry about anyone bullying you anymore.” Ning Cheng gently wiped off the tears from Ning Ruolan’s face.

  “Ok, we’ll go to Orchid Borough Celestial River. I heard others say that Orchid Borough Celestial River has a lot of mystic realms and much richer Starry Sky Essence Qi…..”

  While Ning Ruolan spoke, she seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and quickly took out two handfuls of dark-coloured pills from her ring and put them in Ning Cheng’s hands. She then smiled and spoke, “Brother, I got these Perpetual Moon Pills in the Ancient Shadow Temple. I collected 83 pieces, use it up for cultivation. Once your cultivation gets better, we would not have to worry about others bullying us…..”

  83 Perpetual Moon Pills was a substantial amount of wealth for an ordinary Celestial Novice cultivator. Moreover, it would take a long time to amass.

  Ning Cheng looked at Ruolan’s smiling face streaked with tears, and looked at the 83 Perpetual Moon Pills in his hands and felt his nose turning sour. Truthfully, he had never seen Perpetual Moon Pills of such quality. Not to mention these tainted Perpetual Moon Pills, his ring even contained more than a billion Perpetual Moon Pills. Moreover, each pill contained much larger quantities of Starry Sky Essence Qi. In other words, they were incomparably pure Perpetual Moon Pills compared to those in his hands.

  Even those he regularly used to pay others, the pills with him were of much better quality than these things. Moreover, of these 83 Perpetual Moon Pills, some of them still had silt and mud covering them; from this, anyone could tell the origins of these Perpetual Moon Pills and that they were something recently obtained.

  “I’m sorry, Ruolan…..” All of a sudden, Ning Cheng felt something welling up in his heart. In this ever-fickle starry sky, 83 Perpetual Moon Pills covered in sludge, what did it mean for my sister? These pills must be the most precious thing on her. However, she took them all out without any hesitation.

  Why?

  Because he was Ruolan’s big brother. An inerasable familial bond irrespective of time or space.

  Glancing at Ruolan’s ring, he realised that it was the one he gifted her at the beginning. From this, he understood how difficult it must have been for Ruolan.

  Ning Cheng took out a jade box and carefully put all 83 black-coloured Perpetual Moon Pills into it one by one before speaking while trying to hold back the redness from his eyes, “Ruolan, these are the best pills I received. I definitely will treasure them.”

  “Brother, we can’t stay here. After we go out, you will have to find a place to cultivate and use up all these Perpetual Moon Pills.” Ning Ruolan quickly spoke up. She couldn’t calm down on seeing her big brother’s excitement. She truly felt anxious, as if she believed that these pills would help her brother advance to the Eternal Realm.

  “Big Brother Ning Cheng, I also have 60 Perpetual Moon Pills, you can have them.” Helian Dai also held out a bunch of pills in her hands. They were the same dark-coloured pills.

  Ning Cheng looked at Helian Dai in a daze. Finally starting to understand why his sister decided to stay back with Helian Dai. This girl didn’t behave like conventional starry sky cultivators. Besides, one could easily read her thoughts off her face. She really did want to give away her pills to help Ruolan’s big brother and even protect them.

  “Big Brother Ning Cheng, do you not want my pills?” Seeing Ning Cheng looking at her and not taking the pills, Helian Dai’s face turned a little red.

  Ning Cheng quickly took out another jade box, carefully put Helian Dai’s Perpetual Moon Pills in it, and then said, “Little Sister Dai, from now on you’re my sister just like Ruolan. No one will ever bully you again.”

  Even if knowing perfectly well that Ning Cheng spoke those words to comfort her, Helian Dai still spoke up in excitement, “Thank you, Big Brother Ning Cheng.”

  Ning Ruolan reluctantly freed her arms from around Ning Cheng but still held on to Ning Cheng’s hand. Separated from her big brother for too long, she truly did not want to experience that loss once again. In this world, she had only one relative, and that was her big brother. Even if she lost her life, she didn’t want anything to happen to her big brother.

  “Ruolan, Little Dai, let’s leave. We’ll return to the Ancient Shadow Temple later.” Ning Cheng spoke with a soft voice.

  The moment he saw Ruolan, he made a decision to settle down on Second Revenant Star. From this day forward, Second Revenant Star would be his planet. As for that Ji Clan, since those bastards dared to snatch Ruolan’s restaurant, they had better not blame him for taking over Second Revenant Star. If Ji Yangyao wanted to come for him, he wouldn’t even mind taking over Named Descendant Celestial River.

  The position of Celestial River King didn’t necessarily get inherited or designated by Striking Order Heavenly Emperor, did it? If it was, Ning Cheng decided to change it to a non-inheritable one from this day forward.

  Daring to mess with my sister Ruolan, this Ji Clan definitely had gone blind.

  “Brother…..” Ning Ruolan hesitated, “I lost Grey Toottoot.”

  In fact, Ning Cheng already noticed that Grey Toottoot was not with Ning Ruolan. Moreover, he also didn’t see any Spiritual Beast Bag on Ruolan. But Ning Cheng didn’t ask about Grey Toottoot. He understood that since Ruolan didn’t have the Spiritual Beast Bag, then Grey Toottoot definitely must not be here.

  To him, it all okay as long as Ruolan was fine.

  “As long as you’re fine, everything’s okay with me. Did someone take away Grey Toottoot?” Ning Cheng comforted her softly. He knew Ruolan very well. Although he was not at Ruolan’s side, he left Grey Toottoot with Ruolan. She would have definitely pampered it and keep it close to her.

  Moreover, with Grey Toottoot’s nature, it certainly wouldn’t leave Ruolan on its own. Since Grey Toottoot was not here right now, the only possibility he could think of was that someone might have taken it away.

  “No.” Ning Ruolan shook her head. “Grey Toottoot saw that I had insufficient cultivation resources, so it would regularly look for cultivation resources by itself when we went out exploring. During the first few explorations, it often brought back something good. But one time, when Grey Toottoot and I were looking for some starry sky spiritual grasses in a wasteland, it got lost there. I went there to find it many times, but could never find it. Grey Toottoot never came back since then.”

  After that, Ning Ruolan lowered her head, feeling a little low.

  Ning Cheng patted Ruolan’s head, “Don’t take it to heart. After we settle down in Covered Snow City, I’ll go with you to find it.”

  “Big Brother Ning Cheng, we can’t live in Covered Snow City right now. The price of land there is currently even higher than the price in Descendant City.” Helian Dai quickly spoke from the side.

  Ning Cheng smiled, “The price of land in Covered Snow City will come down soon.”

  ……

  At the entrance of Cheng Ruolan Materials outside the Ancient Shadow Temple, two men and one woman kept looking at the bull in front of them with strange gazes. They had come here looking for Ruolan, but this bull not only stopped them, it even questioned them repeatedly.

  “One of you three is Zhang Qian, the other is Li Lingfan, and the other is Luo Ziyan. Am I right? Do you have any evidence to prove it?” Chasing Bull had taken out a pier and sat on it, looking hilarious.

  Li Lingfan felt speechless as he stood there.

  How could he provide evidence for being himself?

  Once again, he cupped his fists and spoke up, “Senior Spirit Beast did not hear it wrong. All three of us are indeed friends with Ning Ruolan and came from the same place. We came here looking to meet with Ruolan.”

  “I know Ning Ruolan. But from the looks of it, the three of you don’t seem to have a place to stay, am I right? Seeing that my
store is in a good position and that I know Ning Ruolan, you want to come here and take advantage of it, am I right?” Chasing Bull thought that it had seen through the trick and spoke up with a positive tone.

  Li Lingfan and company suddenly found themselves stuck in a bind. If they said no, the three of them then truly would have no place to go, which was one of their reasons for coming here. But if they said yes, it would mean admitting it outright that they came here to take advantage of the fact that they knew Ning Ruolan.

  “Your shop does sit on a prime location, so this king decided to come here personally to take over it.” A chilling voice arrived followed by a man wearing a headband appearing outside Cheng Ruolan Materials.

  A powerful, almost violent, imposing aura surged out, forcing Chasing Bull to stand up immediately. It couldn’t bear this formidable aura and spoke, “Who are you? Do you really want to go against this old bull?”

  “Orchid River Celestial River King…..” Lu Yu, who stood behind Chasing Bull, suddenly shivered. She was too familiar with the man in front of her. Big nose and small eyes, if it was not Lilan[1] Yanlang, the Orchid Borough King, who else could he be?

  Orchid Borough Celestial River King stared at Lu Yu with a grin, “You sisters really are good, outstanding even. You both managed to play me, a Celestial River King, in the palm of your hands. I have to admire you for it. I didn’t know you liked wild men so much, but you don’t need to worry about it anymore; I will make sure to find tens of thousands of men to serve you.”

  “Haha, Brother Orchid Borough, I haven’t seen you in a long time. Coming to my Named Descendant Celestial River and not coming over for a drink, it’s not good, you know.” Another laughing voice emerged followed by a grey-robed figure descending in front of Cheng Ruolan Materials.

  “Named Descendant Celestial River King….” Someone murmured in a low voice.

  The surrounding cultivators immediately turned silent. Two Celestial River Kings had shown up in this place at the same time. Who would dare to make any noise in such a situation? Li Lingfan and company also started sweating all over.

  Why did two Celestial River Kings suddenly appear here? Moreover, why did it look like Orchid Borough Celestial River King held some grudges with the people of Cheng Ruolan Materials?

  “So it’s Brother Ji. Sorry, I came here in a hurry. But I did plan to visit Brother Ji later. I hope it didn’t alarm Brother Ji, and if so, please do forgive me.” Lilan Yanlang stood with cupped fists in front of Named Descendant Celestial River King, Ji Yangyao and spoke with a not-so-warm tone.

  Ji Yangyao didn’t seem to care about Orchid Borough King’s tone and still spoke with a smile, “In any case, since Brother Orchid Borough is here, let me do my best as a host and a friend.”

  Orchid Borough Celestial River King shifted his gaze to Lu Yu and spoke with a cold tone, “I came here to find someone. I would have left after finding this person. But it seems like someone is sheltering this person. But since this is a good site, I suddenly don’t want to leave anymore. I want to stay here and so some business.”

  As a Celestial River King, he naturally was not an idiot. Someone had informed him about Lu Yu’s presence here, which was the main reason he came here. But this Ji Yangyao arrived just behind him. From this, he could tell that Ji Yangyao also received this information, but this fellow purposefully waited for his arrival before showing up.

  Regardless, he found the situation quite strange. Taking in everything, he found no particularly remarkable person within the crowd.

  Why did Ji Yangyao put up such an act just to rope him in?

  If he had grabbed Lu Yu and sent her to Orchid Borough Celestial River, he might have felt more grateful for it.

  Ji Yangyao laughed, “These are just trivial matters. I was just about to invite Brother Orchid Borough to work together before you showed up here. You see, I found a perfect place within the Ancient Shadow Temple, but I’m just too weak to explore it by myself, and wanted to find some like-minded friends to team up and explore it.”

  “That’s easy to do, but it will have to wait till I take this person away.” Orchid Borough Celestial River King raised his hand and punched at the array formation that Ning Cheng had arranged.

  Chasing Bull knew that it would have to bear the brunt if it didn’t do anything right now, so opening its mouth, it shot out a blade light.

  “Boom…..” With a bang, the fist’s imposing aura burst Chasing Bull’s blade light burst into nothingness. The strong shockwave forced Chasing Bull deeper into the defensive array formation around store rubble.

  Lu Yu and Dong Li hurried over to help Chasing Bull.

  “Hmm….” Ji Yangyao frowned while looking at Chasing Bull, as well as the defensive array that the Orchid Borough Celestial River King has just punched.

  He had previously received news that a formidable demonic bull had appeared in Covered Snow City that had killed the master of Named River Chamber of Commerce, Fu Yinghe without much effort.

  Since this demonic bull could kill Fu Yinghe without even letting him fight back, its strength should definitely be at least on par with him, Ji Yangyao. This was also the main reason why he wanted to rope in Lilan Yanlang.

  But it wasn’t worth all the trouble now, did it?

  Although Lilan Yanlang had just advanced to the Life and Death Realm, his real strength remained slightly worse of the two. So how could that punch push back the demonic bull and even injured it? From the looks of it, if not for the protection of the defensive array, that punch would have definitely killed that demonic bull.

  Which meant that this defensive array did not look as simple as it looked on the surface. Only a powerful Array Formation King could arrange such a formidable defensive array.

  “Quickly, call master….” After Chasing Bull got up, it immediately yelled at Lu Yu to call Ning Cheng.

  “Ah, senior…..” Just as Lu Yu took out the jade talisman, she saw Ning Cheng coming over with Ning Ruolan and Helian Dai.

  Chasing Bull also saw Ning Cheng and no longer hid behind the defensive array formation. It immediately rushed out and cried with a miserable voice, “Master, while you were gone, your bull was almost killed by these people. A group of Celestial River Kings attacked me. I wanted to protect Cheng Ruolan Materials, but they severely injured me. Master, you have to avenge me…..”

  Chasing Bull said those words with a miserable tone and even put up a performance filled with snot and tears.

  The people around the edges felt speechless.

  A group of Celestial River Kings attacked you?

  How could one exaggerate things this much? From the looks of it, this fellow couldn’t even contend against a punch from Orchid Borough Celestial River King. The only reason it could keep its life was due to the defensive array. With such skills, how could it be worthy of being attacked by a group of Celestial River Kings? Besides, there was no group of Celestial River Kings here. Only Orchid Borough King and Named Descendant King.

  Ning Cheng knew that Chasing Bull was spewing bullshit. He ignored Chasing Bull, but his gaze moved to Orchid Borough Celestial River King and Named Descendant Celestial River King’s side. The two of them were at the Life and Death Realm. Moreover, they were both at the early stages of the Life and Death Realm. To be honest, this level of cultivation couldn’t even let him warm up.

  “Sect Master Ning, Ruolan…..” Luo Ziyan was the first one to call out in surprise.

  “Sect Master…..” Zhang Qian felt equally surprised. He truly didn
’t expect to meet Sect Master Ning in this place. In his mind, Ning Cheng was akin to a deity. Even Sect Master Rui Baishan could not match up Sect Master Ning in his heart.

  Li Lingfan smiled, “Brother Ning, I didn’t expect to see you here. Sorry, I should be addressing you as Sect Master Ning.”

  Ning Cheng also saw Luo Ziyan as the three of them came over to greet him. He felt quite happy to see those three in this place. Ning Cheng had always been looking out for an acquaintance but hadn’t found any. But now, in addition to his younger sister, he met three acquaintances at the same time.

  “Zhang Qian, Ziyan, Lingfan, wait with Ruolan for a bit. I have a few words to exchange with those two great men who injured my companion beast.” Ning Cheng showed a grin.

  Ning Ruolan also saw Orchid Borough Celestial River King and Named Descendant Celestial River King. Although she didn’t know and had never seen Orchid Borough Celestial River King, she had definitely seen Named Descendant Celestial River King, Ji Yangyao, once before. Moreover, she also knew several people standing behind Ji Yangyao, Second Revenant Star’s Celestial Lord Ji Yaozhe and the scarlet-robed female cultivator who slapped her…

  “Brother….” After seeing these people clearly, Ning Ruolan was so shocked that she grabbed Ning Cheng’s hand and said, “You can’t go up, they, they….”

  At this moment, Ning Ruolan only held fear and confusion in her eyes, and could not find the right words to describe it at this time.

  If she were alone, it would have been fine. But now that her big brother was here, she really did not want it to affect her big brother.

  What should she do? Could she do anything?

  At this moment, she felt utterly lost. She also couldn’t process this matter thoroughly, especially since she had already given up the restaurant. Why would people from Ji Clan try to look for and stop them? Moreover, even Named Descendant Celestial River King was here in person.
