Pocket Hunting Dimension (WN)
chapter-1039

Eventually, Elder Nangong didn’t prolong the work of the group. He brought out the fish he had caught before and personally grilled it for them. Alice and the other girls had helped on the side.

Qiuyue Hesha then asked, “Elder Nangong, where is Ying Ying?”

It was just at this point that Lu Ze recalled the absence of the little girl.

Elder Nangong gave them a smile. “She went to Weite. She should be back soon.”

Right after saying the words, a wormhole emerged. Ying Ying exited from that tear in space.

She had company behind her. It was a cute little girl, Lue Xi. They were both carrying school bags.

Lue Xi hid nervously behind Ying Ying. But the latter didn’t allow the other girl to shy away. Ying Ying dragged the pitiful Lue Xi and rushed over upon noticing Elder Nangong was roasting fish.

Elder Nangong cracked a smile. “Ying Ying is back.”

He looked at Lue Xi and showed an amicable expression. “You must be Lue Xi, right?”

Lue Xi clenched her two hands and shivered. “Saint… Hello…”

‘Oh my, it’s a saint!!’

‘Saint Jinyao!’

Even Lue Xi was merely a young kid, she often heard about the saint from the principal. Well, pretty much everyone in the Federation knew about the 12 saints.

Lue Xi could not stop the anxiety within her.

Elder Nangong assured her. “Just call me Grandfather, like Ying Ying.”

He had a good impression of Lue Xi. Elder Nangong even understood her profile well.

This time, Lue Xi had the courage to raise her head. Realizing how Elder Nangong treated her with care, she let go of some of the nervousness she felt.

Ying Ying seemed to be right though. Saint Jinyao was a kind grandfather. Nevertheless, she was still a little hesitant to start addressing him as her grandfather.

Qiuyue Hesha coaxed, “Xiao Xi, the elder already permitted you to treat him as your grandfather. What are you still waiting for?”

Lue Xi looked at Qiuyue Hesha and rejoiced. “Sister Hesha!”

Before, her apprehension caused her to miss Qiuyue Hesha’s presence. Now that she saw someone else she knew, she began to relax.

She finally smiled at Elder Nangong. “Grandfather.”

“Aye.” Elder Nangong found it adorable. After all, Lue Xi was too cute.

‘If only Jing Jing was sensible enough to give him a little child to play with…’

He looked at Nangong Jing with complaints in his heart.

Nangong Jing: “???”

She held his gaze in confusion, causing Elder Nangong’s mouth to twitch.

‘How could she be infuriatingly clueless?’

‘Ze was more understanding!’

Carrying those thoughts, Elder Nangong looked at Lu Ze with the desire to pin his hopes of holding his great grandchildren soon on Lu Ze.

As for Lu Ze, he didn’t have the least bit of interest in Ying Ying. The little brat fought over food with him.

‘… This fish should be ready for consumption, right?’

It looked appetizing. He couldn’t help but gulp. However, he suddenly felt that someone’s eyes lingered on him.

When he went to locate the source, he saw Elder Nangong directing a mysterious yet meaningful glance at him.

Lu Ze: “???”

‘What is Elder Nangong signaling to him?’

Elder Nangong: “…”

So much for nothing! He found himself disappointed in Lu Ze.

Meanwhile, the girls had surrounded Ying Ying and Lue Xi.

Qiuyue Hesha looked gently at Ying Ying who was carrying a school bag. She was also like this when they first saw her.

She inched to pat Ying Ying’s hair. “Ying Ying, is attending your classes at school fun?”

Ying Ying affirmed it with a nod. Her usually expressionless face had some joy in it.

Nangong Jing grinned. “It should be Ying Ying’s first time to go to school. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can always ask me. I used to be a very good student!”

She wasn’t just good at cultivating. She also had impeccable comprehension!

As usual, Qiuyue Hesha sneered, “You talk as though you’re the only one.”

She also patted Ying Ying’s little head. “Ying Ying can ask me too. My academic performance is excellent as well.”

Lin Ling chimed in, “Me too.”

Ying Ying, shattering the moment, said “I have already learned everything.”

“???”

The girls were taken aback.

‘Is Ying Ying actually a smart student too?’

Lue Xi answered timidly, “It is true. Ying Ying is outstanding. She could immediately learn everything the teacher discussed after hearing it once.”

The girls: “…”

It finally dawned on them that she was a cosmic realm state. A being like her was inherently genius.

‘How else would she absorb universal laws, god arts, and divine arts?’

The girls felt embarrassed.

Nangong Jing attempted to dismiss it with a laugh. “Hahaha, the fish is ready. Let’s eat.”

Ying Ying tore open a wormhole and threw her bag in it before she bolted towards the roasted fish.

“I’ll help you, Grandfather.”

“Ying Ying is really nice.”

…

After dinner, Ying Ying took Lue Xi back to Weite.

Lu Ze and his girls carried a conversation with Elder Nangong.

Lu Ze said, “By the way, Elder Nangong, I forgot to give you something.”

Elder Nangong asked, “What is it?”

Lu Ze took out a gray rune. “This is a one-time divine art rune. It can quickly repair your wounds. As long as your head isn’t crushed, you will recover.”

It was similar to the Super Regeneration Divine Art, but it worked even better.

This divine art could even deal with hacked body parts. Moreover, its speed was top-notch among the rest.

Lu Ze had the plan to call it ‘Super Speed Regeneration’.

Elder Nangong accidentally spat the golden tea he was sipping.

‘Isn’t it practically an additional life?!’
