Star Farming, the eldest lady relies on alchemy to counterattack

Chapter 221 The Uses of Vines

In Qiao Yu's view, with Yun Shuai's strength being so great, Ning Xuan and the others' ability to achieve good results and return safely from the Crimson Sand Sea must all be due to Yun Shuai's efforts.

Ning Xuan should be grateful to Commander Yun.

However, Ning Xuan's attitude towards her commander was extremely harsh. He could never forget the scene of seeing his commander crawl out from under Ning Xuan's legs, so much so that he was always thinking about taking the commander back. Even though Commander Yun had warned him repeatedly, he could not get rid of this idea.

Therefore, the day before Ning Xuan was scheduled to leave, Qiao Yu found an opportunity and secretly approached her. Ning Xuan was shopping with Chen Nan at the trading center when Qiao Yu stopped her, which made her very unhappy.

“Miss Ning, Xie Heng offended you before. My Tianwei Legion, under the instructions of Commander Yun, has already found an opportunity to deal with her. Miss Ning, I am not here to see you today to claim credit.”

"I would like to request that you allow Commander Yun to temporarily return to the Tianwei Legion to take charge. There are many dangerous places around the Jiujiang Safe Zone, and Commander Yun can play a greater role in the army. Anyway, you don't lack men to serve you, so why not make an exception? The entire Tianwei Legion will be grateful to you." Qiao Yu had learned his lesson last time and was much more careful this time. He was very respectful when facing Ning Xuan.

"As for the losses this may cause you, the Heavenly Might Legion is willing to send a hundred-man team to your command." Although Commander Yun is powerful, he is only one person. With this hundred-man team, Ning Xuan will surely achieve a good ranking in the graduation assessment. It's a 1-for-100 exchange, so Ning Xuan won't suffer a loss.

"Commander Qiao, did you come to see me on your own initiative, or was it at Yun Han's behest?" Ning Xuan asked Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu is in charge of the vast Jiujiang Safe Zone and has earned Yun Han's trust, so he must be an extremely capable person. However, what he did today is very puzzling to her.

"It is we who need Commander Yun to be here. It was Qiao Yu who made the decision on his own. Please, Miss Ning, be lenient." Qiao Yu bowed humbly.

Even if he harbored resentment and dissatisfaction towards Ning Xuan, he knew that she was Yun Shuai's sworn master, the one who held Yun Shuai in her hands. After the previous lesson, how could he dare to be disrespectful to her?

“Last time you and Qin Chuan came to my residence on behalf of the Tianwei Legion to demand people, I thought Yun Han would resolve the matter cleanly. I didn’t expect you to come to me again today without taking the initiative.” Ning Xuan’s eyes were calm and emotionless, but Qiao Yu keenly sensed a trace of unease.

“Miss Ning, I… I was taught a lesson by Commander Yun last time. It’s just that we suffered heavy losses on this new planet recently, and I’m feeling uneasy, which is why I asked you for help.” Qiao Yu’s words were partly true, and partly because during his time in the Jiujiang Safe Zone, Qiao Yu had become a bit arrogant in his power and forgot the lessons he had learned.

"Go back and wait. I'll have Yun Han come find you in a bit." Ning Xuan glanced at him, then turned and left.

Qiao Yu's heart was pounding. He knew what Ning Xuan meant. Had she agreed or not? Was she sending Yun Shuai to find him to replace him, or to teach him a lesson?

While ordering people to prepare a hundred elite soldiers, Qiao Yu returned to the military camp with a heavy heart.

Ning Xuan walked quickly ahead, but Chen Nan, who was physically unwell, couldn't keep up with her for a while. Ning Xuan turned around and saw that Chen Nan had aggravated his injury by some movement, and his face showed a strange expression that seemed to be in pain but not really.

"Anan, what are you dawdling about in the back? And what was that expression you were making just now?" Ning Xuan asked, frowning.

Chen Nan, emboldened by Xiao Jin's transformation and advancement that day, took the initiative to ask for pleasure. So for the past few nights, Chen Nan has been staying in Ning Xuan's tent. However, Ning Xuan did not touch him, but used only a vine to torment him to the point of ecstasy. His waist and legs have been weak for the past few days, and the small wounds on his body are becoming more and more numerous.

"Master, Anan accidentally aggravated his wound, it hurts a bit." Chen Nan quickly explained, afraid that Ning Xuan would misunderstand. "Regret your impulsiveness? You've learned your lesson now, haven't you?" Ning Xuan looked at Chen Nan's bruised eyes, remembering how he had been tormented by her vines for days, and how his current slow movement was caused by her.

However, Chen Nan's physical condition was much worse than Yun Han's. After all, Yun Han had been tortured much more severely in the past, but his daytime movements were not affected.

"No regrets, Master. I've been very happy and at peace these past few days." Although Chen Nan's eyes were dark, his eyes shone brightly, and he didn't look tired at all.

It's clear that Chen Nan was speaking from the heart; he was genuinely happy.

When Ning Xuan was with Chen Nan before, the vines hadn't recovered yet. She only used the vines as a whip to lash Chen Nan when he made mistakes. Later, as the vines gradually recovered, they became more useful.

Ning Xuan looked at him with a puzzled expression. "Why are you happy? Tell me the truth."

Ning Xuan wondered to herself, "Does Chen Nan have some kind of masochistic tendency?"

“Master, the vine is your plant pet. The vine’s aura is the same as yours. It can also soothe the restless blood and frenzied spirit within me. Anything you give me, Anan likes.” Chen Nan spoke from the heart. In fact, he really liked that feeling.

However, after three consecutive days, his physical strength was indeed not up to par.

Ning Xuan glanced at Chen Nan somewhat awkwardly and said nothing more. She had forgotten that the vines' usefulness was learned from Yun Han. Initially, she had put in some effort, but it seemed that the vines had automatically applied those usefulness to Chen Nan.

Ning Xuan returned to her residence. Yun Han hadn't gone out today; he was packing his things, as he was leaving tomorrow and checking what else he needed to buy.

Seeing the various supplies displayed in Yun Han's room, Ning Xuan's anger subsided slightly.

When Yun Han saw Ning Xuan standing at his door, he immediately came to greet her, "Master is back."

"Yun Han, your good brother asked me to plead for you to stay in the Jiujiang safe zone. What do you think?" Ning Xuan looked at him calmly.

To be honest, of all the people Ning Xuan took in, Yun Han caused her the most trouble, and she hated trouble the most.

Yun Han's face turned pale upon hearing this. "Master, I am your person, so naturally I must follow you, stay by your side, and act together. Qiao Yu acted on his own initiative, so I will go and teach him a lesson. I will apologize to you when I return."

Yun Han inwardly groaned. How come he never knew Qiao Yu was so stubborn? Why did he have to hurt him like this?

If it weren't for their long-standing brotherhood, he would really doubt Qiao Yu'an's intentions.

“No need to come back to apologize, Chen Nan. You go with him. Execute the one hundred lashes right in front of Qiao Yu.”
