The Great Road of Shading the Sky

Chapter 229 A Lifesaving Grace, The Woman in the Pollen

Hearing Shao Hua so casually say that he wanted to kill Xu Wanqing, Lin Nuoyi couldn't help but show a strange look in her eyes.

Given her cold and aloof demeanor, it was rare for her to show such curiosity. She turned to look at her newly acquainted friend and asked, "Are you really going to kill her?"

Finally, as if afraid of causing a misunderstanding, she added, "I'm not trying to dissuade you or plead for her, but she has some connections. Killing her won't solve the problem; it will only cause more trouble."

"Then kill them all," Shao Hua said after thinking for a moment.

If killing one person doesn't serve as a warning to others, then why not just kill all one hundred?
"I am actually a peace-loving person, but there are always some people who don't understand. You should know that those who kill will be killed in return. At worst, blood will be used to repay blood, and teeth will be used to repay teeth!" Chu Feng also spoke up at the right time to express his position.

Clearly, what he said earlier was just polite talk; this was a true reflection of his inner thoughts. Being attacked and killed repeatedly would make anyone furious.

He has the ability and powerful support, so there's nothing to worry about.

Lin Nuoyi looked deeply at the two of them, nodded, and didn't say anything more about the matter. She gently tapped the table, pondered, and her beautiful eyes sparkled as she told them all about Xu Wanqing's background.

Chu Feng listened attentively; learning more about the enemy was not a bad thing.

Shao Hua was rather bored and had no interest in paying attention to any powerful families or conglomerates, so she leaned lightly on the table, glancing sideways at the beauty of the aloof and elegant woman beside her, and even reaching out to play with the hem of her clothes.

A moment later, the waiter knocked on the door of the private room and, just as Chu Feng had requested, served a table full of beef dishes. It must have been quite a feat for the head chef in the kitchen.

Lin Nuoyi closed her bright red lips and said nothing more.

However, seeing that the owner of the hem of the garment remained unmoved, someone became even more interested in playing with it, and their actions became bolder, with their gentle fingertips accidentally touching the soft flesh of her waist.

"Stop fooling around." Lin Nuoyi turned around and glared at her, a few black lines appearing on her fair forehead. Luckily, there were no outsiders present, otherwise, things would have been a bit too intimate.

"I feel like I've seen you somewhere before?" Shao Hua casually withdrew her hand and said seriously, forcibly changing the subject.

Lin Nuoyi was amused by her exasperation and said, "Yes, yes, we met in our past lives. You were my savior, okay?"

She was a reserved person, rarely smiling or angry. But when she showed a hint of annoyance, it had a unique charm that was quite stunning and captivating.

Chu Feng couldn't help but laugh on the other side.

Sis, your flirting skills seem a bit too clumsy.

You were born from a seed, so how could you have ever seen it before?

This is an old trick from hundreds of years ago. Do they really think Lin Nuoyi doesn't use the internet?

After blurting out those words, Lin Nuoyi paused for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh and said, "Does this seem familiar? When I first met you, I did have a strange sense of familiarity, like we'd known each other forever."

Chu Feng: "."

Oh no, the clown is actually himself!

Just then, a scene of countless pollen grains shooting into the sky flashed through Shao Hua's mind.

Amidst the countless shimmering particles of light, a figure could be faintly seen rising from the pool of blood, silver hair flying, casting a grateful gaze.

Although it was blurry and indistinct, it was definitely a woman, with unparalleled beauty and stunning looks, and she even looked somewhat familiar.

Does she look a bit like Lin Nuoyi?
Their eyes and brows share the same cold elegance, and their temperament is as aloof as an icy spring. Their appearances are truly alike!
Shao Hua frowned slightly, then smiled brightly and said to Lin Nuoyi in front of her, "Perhaps, I really am your savior."

"Since you saved my life, should I repay you with my body?" Lin Nuoyi deliberately distanced herself from Chu Feng, but joked with Shao Hua, and they got along very easily.

"Then I'll just have to take the loss," Shaohua said, blinking.

"Eat your food." Lin Nuoyi felt that this person was pushing his luck.

During the meal, the group continued chatting. Chu Feng remarked on the strange phenomena that had recently appeared in various places, which were changing every day. These days had upended his life over many years.

Upon hearing this, Lin Nuoyi felt slightly apologetic. She admitted that several similar incidents had occurred in this post-civilization era, with a significant impact that was unknown to ordinary people. However, Tian Shen Bio had come into contact with some of the truth.

However, since it involved some taboos, she had a premonition that the world would undergo a change, but she could only hint at it at the time, and she never expected it to be so drastic.

The sudden change yesterday had a huge impact, otherwise she wouldn't have rushed over.

"The Taihang Mountains are about to be in turmoil. You may have heard that there is a strange tree in the mountains that has attracted many strange people. The great changes in the world yesterday may accelerate the ripening of the strange fruit, and a great battle is inevitable then," she said.

Chu Feng stated frankly that he had already seen the overwhelming news online and expressed his intention to compete for a share.

“It’s too dangerous. I know you’re strong, but…” Lin Nuoyi shook her head, pondered for a moment, and told the two of them about the anomaly that the Celestial Creatures had detected.

In the mountains and wilderness, many wild beasts and birds of prey are also evolving, becoming increasingly intelligent, as if they have unlocked the shackles that had been sealed within them, and their wisdom is constantly approaching that of humans.

The most terrifying thing is that those mutated animals, who should have had a greater advantage, have been too quiet all this time, with the vast majority lying dormant and silent.

If this continues, something terrible will definitely happen!
"I would like to ask you for your help to secretly take care of my parents in Shuntian," Chu Feng said, mentioning his parents.

"Okay." Lin Nuoyi didn't ask why, but gave him a deep look.

Chu Feng smiled. He knew that once he said those words, it meant that the relationship between the two of them had completely changed, and there would be no chance to go back to the past.

Lovers can be inseparable, but asking friends for help is a different matter.

Of course, he never intended to try to salvage anything. He liked what he liked and disliked what he disliked. He wanted things to be pure, not related to power, status, or position.

Perhaps he is too idealistic, but this is his pursuit and his philosophy. He doesn't want to change anything because of his sudden increase in strength.

Being a pure person—that was the reason he was able to get close to Lin Nuoyi in the first place, and it is also the reason for their separation now; it has never changed.

"Do you want that exotic fruit?" Shao Hua asked Lin Nuoyi after they finished discussing their business.

"I am here on behalf of Tianshen Biotechnology," Lin Nuoyi said meaningfully.

Shao Hua immediately understood that the exotic fruit was very important to the Celestial Creatures, but it was not an essential goal for her personally.

"I'll take you then," Shaohua said.

"Don't push yourself. If you're in danger, come find me." Lin Nuoyi shook her head.

The three chatted for a long time, and the lunch lasted a long time. Only the girl named Jingjing sat at the far end, eating her meal quietly and attentively.

There was nothing she could do; she couldn't get a word in edgewise. And some of the words and images were simply unacceptable to her. She could only lower her head and tremble.

"By the way, if you feel uncomfortable explaining this to your uncle, or if someone tries to vouch for Xu Wanqing, you can just hand her over," Shao Hua said to Lin Nuoyi as she got up to say goodbye. "Understood," Lin Nuoyi replied. "I'll take you back."

"No need, Miss Lin, see you in a couple of days." Shao Hua waved goodbye, then led Chu Feng on a long tour of the county town, carrying many large and small bags.

They also witnessed the clash between the two major forces, Tianshen Biotechnology and Bodhi Gene. They weren't recklessly using heavy weapons in the city; they were just fighting hand-to-hand.

Shaohua had a great time, stopping to admire anything new and interesting. Chufeng, on the other hand, became a ruthless bag carrier, risking his life to accompany the fairy until they returned home in the evening.

Yes, I'll come and go the same way I came; I rely entirely on my own two legs to get around!

Lin Nuoyi sat in the restaurant for a while longer. During this time, her communicator rang. Sure enough, the person from the Mu family came to her to protect Xu Wanqing.

She readily agreed, her eyes somewhat cold, and got up to leave. Before leaving, she asked the girl with freckles on her face to quietly become her assistant for the time being.

Knowing so many of her private matters, of course I should keep her close. If she is capable of being cultivated, there is a chance for her to become a full-fledged employee.

"Niu Niu, I brought you some delicious food!" Chu Feng called out as soon as he entered the courtyard.

The appearance of the scalper raised some suspicion; could this guy really be so kind?

It couldn't help but turn to look at Shaohua, feeling that this person wouldn't lie to it.

"It was indeed delicious, but it was leftovers," Shaohua told the truth.

"Moo!!"

Upon hearing this, the ox flew into a rage, its nostrils practically steaming. It scribbled words on the ground, demanding of Chu Feng: "You went to see the goddess and had a lavish meal, and all you brought back were scraps to fool me?!"

"You can't say that. Thrift and frugality are popular now. I'm just responding to the call to 'Clean Plate Campaign'!" Chu Feng glared.

The scalper looked disdainful, raising his head high with obvious contempt.

"What do you know? Waste is shameful. If you ever encounter a rare fruit that's only half-eaten or pollen that's been absorbed by someone, will you still be so dismissive?"

Chu Feng's main strength was his stubbornness. He said righteously, "These are a feast. Your sister Guang and I couldn't bear to eat them. We specially brought some back for you to try. You're really ungrateful!"

The scalper was still fooled. When Chu Feng opened the takeout bag, he could indeed smell the delicious aroma, which was many levels better than the food he usually ate.

Finally, it couldn't resist the temptation and went over to show off, its mouth covered in oil.

Shao Hua chuckled and didn't stop her. There were indeed leftovers, which were packed up at noon, but most of them were dishes she had specially ordered from a restaurant when she left the county.

Soon after, the scalper learned the truth: the leftover food he had packed actually contained some beef!

How could it tolerate this?!
The ox was immediately enraged and kicked Chu Feng several times. The man and the ox chased each other, and the yard was filled with the sounds of cattle running and people jumping around before it finally calmed down after a long time.

"Moo!"

The scalper said, "Fairy sister is good, Chu Feng is bad!"
As luck would have it, there was an unexpected bonus today; it gave that person a gift.

Shaohua watched them playfully fighting from the second-floor balcony, finally stretching her slender figure. Her clothes, which she was pleased with, transformed into a silk-like nightgown.

She didn't need to wash up, as her body was already spotless and untouched by any dust. She planned to take a short rest in bed, but unexpectedly, there was another person on the bed in the second-floor room that had been specially prepared for her.

She's a very beautiful woman!
Shaohua put her hand to her forehead. What kind of situation is this?

Don't be fooled by her flirting with Lin Nuoyi in the county town today; that was just an accident. There might actually be some inexplicable connection between the two.

It was no joke that they hit it off immediately; she wasn't actually into girls.

Uh... I do like it, but not that kind of liking!
"Shh!"

Shao Hua lifted the covers and glanced at the woman on the bed. She looked to be around twenty years old, dressed in white clothes, with neat and smooth hair cascading down to her snow-white neck. She had a sweet face and was youthful and energetic.

"It's quite pretty." Her eyes lit up.

Ahem, I really don't like girls, but then again, beautiful things always bring joy.

She reached out a hand and pinched the woman on the bed. Hmm, it felt wonderful.

The woman reacted, her brows furrowed, and she opened her eyes with a slight daze. She slowly woke up, and she was no ordinary person; she remained calm, her beautiful pupils very bright.

Seeing that it was an incredibly beautiful woman pinching her face, the woman in white clothes and pants carefully examined everything in the room and quickly regained her composure.

If there were a man in the room, he might be a little panicked.

She felt a slight pain in the back of her head, frowned slightly, and gently stroked it back, freeing herself from the jade-like hand pinching her face. After a moment, she asked Shaohua, "Did you knock me unconscious and bring me here?"

"Of course not. If it were me, I wouldn't have been so gentle." Shao Hua denied it outright. It was the ox that had done it. The young ox had no experience, and the person woke up in less than half a day.

If she were to personally take action, she could shatter a person's spirit with a single palm strike and still leave them alive—that would be truly authentic.

The woman in white was stunned. How could this beautiful woman in front of her not seem like a good person?

If Shaohua knew what she was thinking, she would definitely give her a loving pat!

In fact, Shao Hua soon seemed to realize this as well, and smiled at the woman in white on the bed, leaning forward.
"Don't come over here!"

"Be good, let me see."

After a harmonious and friendly exchange, the woman in white, her clothes slightly disheveled, rose into the air, a pair of wings of light appearing on her back, emitting a snow-white glow, and she hurriedly departed.

Soon after, she met up with some extraordinary people.

"You've finally appeared!"

"Thank goodness, we couldn't get in touch with you. We all thought that Tian Shen Bio had set up an ambush against you."

Some people seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. This was the sister of the White Tiger, who was on par with the Silver-Winged Celestial and Vajra, and held an extraordinary position. She was also a powerful superhuman herself.

"I'm fine, I just happened to meet a friend." Lu Shiyun straightened her clothes, her expression already calm, so that no one else noticed anything amiss.

"Let's go see how Celestial Biotechnology and Bodhi Gene are fighting over the Alien Tree."

I went out for a banquet today and was late, sorry!
Hmm, it feels like Shaohua is changing in some weird direction QAQ
