Chapter 76: The Young Master of Horror Mountain Village

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

To obtain the electric demon nucleus, to be able to break through, for the elimination fight in five days, Yang Dingtian had no choice but to go!

That thousand-year-old Millenium Owl in Horror Mountain Village was his only chance, even though this beast was so strong that it defied description.

Ningning gently smiled. “Okay, I will accompany you. But, we need to wait for a few hours for my Xuan energy to recover.”

Yang Dingtian asked out of curiosity, “Sister Ningning, what is the rank of your current Xuan energy?”

“Stronger than Ximen Yan but still incomparable to your two talented fiancees,” Ningning said. “Also, if I were to fight, I wouldn’t be able to beat even a Novice Martial Artist.”

The two wife fiancées she spoke of was, of course, Ximen Yanyan and Dongfang Bingling. Yang Dingtian immediately let out a painful laugh.

….

In the next few hours, Ningning closed her eyes and regulated her breathing. Yang Dingtian did the same, and he took another Full Restoration Pill so that his injuries would completely heal.

During this time, not a single person appeared in the mine valley. No demonic beasts came around either.

When it was almost sunrise, Ningning finally finished her meditations. Her injuries were almost fully healed, and her Xuan energy was partially recovered. She was extremely particular about cleanliness, so the first thing she did after finishing was to take a bath. Therefore, she searched for a bathhouse or a spring to wash off. Fortunately, she found a hot spring on top of the mountain. She screamed happily as she undressed, exposing her delicate body.

Yang Dingtian was a little shocked and then turned around. There was a “Boom” sound when Ningning jumped in.

After the two of them finished their baths, they washed their clothes and dried them with fire before putting them back on.

Yang Dingtian donned his mask again with long, snow-white robes, once again becoming the handsome Ning Que. Meanwhile, Ximen Ningning also disguised herself as Qin Hongmian again.

At the moment, the sky was a little bright as it was dawn. The two of them descended the mountain and headed towards Horror Mountain Village.

…

“Sister Ningning, I still have 45 pieces of Bloody Black Gold buried in the ore mine. Will it be safe?” Yang Ding Tan suddenly asked before getting on a horse.

Ningning frowned. “It is not safe because Bloody Black Gold is too attractive for gold-eating beasts. As time passes, even gold-eating beasts far away from here would probably be drawn here.”

“But, it is even more impossible to bring it to Horror Mountain Village. Besides the fact that it weighs thousands of kilograms, it is also the supreme treasure of heaven and earth and will stoke the greed in many people,” Yang Dingtian said. “We can’t lug it back to Cloud Sky City first and only head to Horror Mountain Village later since we don’t have the time.”

Ningning showed a bit of struggle and confusion. Then, she looked at Yang Dingtian and said gently, “Little Tian, there is a secret that I cannot tell you, so I’ll give you something. Don’t be shocked, okay?”

Then, she gently pressed her index finger and inserted a little Xuan energy. An antique ring instantly appeared on her long and fair finger. She gently passed the ring to Yang Dingtian and said, “Put the Bloody Black Gold into this ring.”

Yang Dingtian was stunned. He took the ring and instantly felt a thick and mysterious energy. How could thousands of kilograms of Bloody Black Gold fit into this tiny ring? This world didn’t have dimensional rings. Whether it was Dongfang Niemie or the numerous books available, such things were simply not known to exist.

“This is a space storage ring that can hold approximately 27 cubic feet. It can hold your Bloody Black Gold,” Ningning said gently.

It really was space storage ring. Yang Dingtian asked in surprise, “Sister Ningning, I thought space storage rings didn’t exist in this world?”

Ningning immediately put the ring on his finger. “I have some secrets, and when the time comes, I will definitely tell you. But, I can’t tell you now, so just take without asking.”

Yang Dingtian said, “But this thing is so precious. How can you give it to me? You should keep this Bloody Black Gold with you.”

“It’s me lending it to you, and you can return it to me in the future,” Ningning said gently.

Yang Dingtian touched the ring and couldn’t help but ask, “Does uncle Ximen and Yanyan know about this ring?”

Ningning shook her head. Yang Dingtian was shocked. This meant that Ningning’s identity was really a huge secret. Also, she was definitely not an orphan adopted by Ximen Wuya. There was definitely a special reason for her to come to Cloud Sky City.

“Sister Ningning, I don’t care about who you care. I know that you will not hurt me, and you are the closest person to me,” Yang Dingtian said.

“Good boy!” Ningning said as she gently touched Yang Dingtian’s cheek.

Then, Yang Dingtian brought her to the mine cave and dug out the bag of Bloody Black Gold, He watched in shock as Ningning placed the pieces of Bloody Black Gold one by one into the ring with each piece disappearing as she did.

He’d never expected there to be space storage rings in this world. It was all too unreasonable.

“Actually, this Bloody Black Gold is not being placed in the ring but in a unique space,” Ningning explained. “This ring is only a channel to that unique space.”

“If so, then this ring is a tiny dimensional door.” Yang Dingtian commented in surprise. He was immediately interested in the secret behind this ring.

“Sister Ningning, is there another space storage ring in the world?” Yang Dingtian asked.

Ningning shook her head and said, “I don’t know but most probably not.”

After storing all of the treasure, Ningning lightly moved her finger, and the ring disappeared from Yang Dingtian’s finger.

“If you want to summon the ring, just touch that area and insert some Xuan energy. Then, use your heart to feel for it and it will be enough,” Ningning instructed.

Yang Dingtian tried and really managed to summon the space storage ring. He looked at Ningning and said, “Wait till we arrive back at Cloud Sky City and I will return it to you.”

“What’s the hurry?” Ningning said. “You can wear it until you don’t need it anymore. Although I don’t have the right to give it to you, I can lend it to you indefinitely.”

Then, she looked at him and said gently, “Similarly, I cannot marry you, but I can give myself to you indefinitely.”

Yang Dingtian was moved, and he wanted to say something but couldn’t utter a single word.

There were two women in the world that had deep entanglements with him. One was Dongfang Bingling, and the other was Ximen Yanyan. The two of them were unique beauties and also the only ones of their kind in the world.

Dongfang Bingling was master’s daughter, and Ximen Yanyan was Ximen Wuya’s daughter. Though as a man, his heart was moved, he did not choose to get involved with these two beauties.

While the Ximen Ningning that was standing before him wasn’t as pretty as Yanyan or Dongfang Bingling, her gentleness, her innocence, her tolerance and wisdom, her selflessness had all deeply touched Yang Dingtian’s heart.

So, it could be said that Ximen Ningning was Yang Dingtian’s choice. Only, Yang Dingtian was not yet qualified to say it, which was why he didn’t.

Yang Dingtian and Ximen Ningning rode their horses under the identities of Ning Que and Qin Hongmian, headed for Horror Mountain Village in the south.

They began their journey in the morning and rode for the whole day. When the sky was about to turn dark, they arrived at Horror Mountain Village.

Horror Mountain Village was built in the deepest part of Black Valley, and the entire mountain village was guarded by an arc-shaped magma abyss. The abyss was several thousand meters wide, and there was only a three-meter-wide stone road that led to the village.

At this time, Yang Dingtian and Ningning were at the entrance to this three-meter-wide stone road that overlooked the entire Horror Mountain Village. It was shrouded in a layer of black haze and appeared to be smoky.

“Who is there?” Two warriors hidden within black cloaks shouted coldly, and the black bows in their hands were aimed at Yang Dingtian.

“The daughter of Red Stone Fortress from the Northwest Qin family, Qin Hongmian,” Ningning said arrogantly.

The two warriors hurriedly put away their bows and bowed. “Miss Qin, please wait a moment, and I will inform those in the village.”

Then, a squawk sounded out from a warrior’s mouth, and a crow flew over from the distance and landed in the warrior’s hand. The warrior said a few words to the crow, which then fluttered and flew towards the horror villa.

…

Ten minutes later, a team of black warriors led by a man in red robes left the village and headed towards Yang Dingtian, accompanied by a luxurious horse carriage.

“Zhao Mu from Horror Mountain Village welcomes Miss Qin.” The man in red robes walked along the road. “Your arrival is an honor for us. Please get on the carriage.”

He was Zhao Mu, the young master of Horror Mountain Village. He looked very handsome. His eyebrows were light and sloppy.

Ningning nodded to Zhao Mu and proudly set foot on the expensive carriage.

“Into the village,” Zhao Mu ordered, immediately bringing Yang Dingtian and Ningning into Horror Mountain Village.

…

At night, Zhao Mu hosted a feast for them and accompanied them personally.

Horror Mountain Village was truly a vassal of the Northwest Qin Family. Although Qin Hongmian was such a distant relative of the Qin family, Zhao Mu still treated them so well. He was a pervert who, apart from peeking at Ningning’s delicate body, spent most of the time sitting there.

However, the weirdest part was that this whole time, Yang Dingtian and Ningning didn’t catch a glimpse of any other important people from Horror Mountain Village. It was only Zhao Mu that accompanied them from the beginning, as if he didn’t want Yang Dingtian and Ningning to bump into anyone else in the mountain village. Or, he didn’t want anyone else to know about their presence.

But, Zhao Mu was truly polite to the two of them. During the entire feast, he had been constantly flattering them. He said everything from how great the Qin family’s lord was to how beautiful Qin Hongmian was and finally to how great Ning Que was.

Although the two of them answered calmly, he still persisted with such behavior. Finally, at the end of the feast, Zhao Mu asked, “Mister Ning and Miss Qin, may I know what I can help you with for the two of you to have come so far? As long as I am able to do it, I will definitely help.”
