Chapter 186 Seductive Slut
As they were setting off, Ling Chengen looked at Chongzhen and asked, "Are you really going with me?"

"What? Are you afraid my presence will an eyesore to someone?"

Chongzhen stood ramrod straight, looking at the expression on her face, and deliberately made a comment.

Ling Chengen instantly dismissed the hesitation on his face and snorted coldly, "Go if you want to. You can discuss it with Bai Qingyu yourself. If you want him to take you flying, you'll have to give him some benefits, right?"

Chongzhen shook her head and said, "No need, I have a bag."

Ling Chengen looked bewildered and glanced around: "That guy's back?"

Bao Bao is actually a wild and untamed little winged dragon. Because it cannot communicate like a human, its behavior is often more driven by instinct.

Ling Chengen often goes out and doesn't take it hunting every day, nor does he feed it every day. So it often needs to go out hunting to ensure that it won't be forgotten by its heartless wild animal owner and starve to death.

Because Bai Qingyu often accompanied her while flying, Ling Chengen rarely used the bag and let it do its own thing.

After the wheat harvest season, Bao Bao disappeared completely, and Ling Chengen didn't see it again for a long time afterward.

However, she didn't really care; it would be inappropriate to keep wild animals in captivity.

Moreover, the appetite of a sub-adult winged dragon is truly astounding; the amount of meat it eats in one day is equivalent to three days' worth of meat for a normal adult male orc.

If it really wants to eat its fill, then it needs to eat twice as much.

However, after a full meal, the little winged dragon will not hunt for the next three days.

Ling Chengen asked in confusion, "Did you go and find it? Or did it run back on its own?"

Chongzhen pulled off the bamboo whistle from his waist and blew it into the air.

A few minutes later, a loud hiss came from the horizon, and a huge shadow swept across the ground. Ling Chengen narrowed his eyes slightly, looked up at the small winged dragon circling in mid-air, and after a soft exclamation, asked hesitantly, "Is that a bag?"

Chongzhen waved to the air: "I told you you don't know how to tame animals. Bao Bao is actually very easy to raise, but you didn't take care of it. So before, it would just come back for a stroll and then go out to roam wild."

"Although Bao Bao is still in its sub-adult stage, its body is growing very fast during this period, so its need for food is increasing. The feeding method you used before is not enough and cannot keep up with its physical development."

"So after it came back last time, I took it out about every two days to teach it how to hunt quickly in the neighborhood, and each time I would select some of the prey it caught, roast it, and give it a treat."

"Over time, it gradually developed the habit of not thinking that all prey should be roasted and eaten. As long as it hunts well and is willing to provide prey for me, I will cook it for it once as a reward."

Chongzhen's hair was blown by the wind when the bag landed. He climbed directly onto the bag's back, reached out and touched the bag's head, which was obviously very obedient to him. He pointed to the sky, and the bag immediately spread its wings, ready to fly away, but then glanced at its former owner standing to the side, staring at it...

Bao Bao looked a little guilty. She lowered her head and nudged Ling Chengen's arm with her head, only to be pushed away mercilessly.

Bao Bao: "..." Oh no, the Demon King is angry!

Chongzhen smiled and said, "You still hold a great deal of authority in its heart."

Ling Chengen was speechless for a few seconds, then turned around and jumped onto Bai Qingyu's back: "Let's go, don't waste time."

Watching Bai Qingyu fly into the sky, Chongzhen comforted Bao Bao for a while, and Bao Bao cheered up again, quickly catching up with the figure in front.

Bao Bao is now twice the size of before, and its flight speed is also faster, even slightly better than Bai Qingyu, showing signs of becoming a top aerial predator.

Bai Qingyu looked back and chatted with Ling Chengen, saying, "Speaking of which, we were the first to encounter this little winged dragon beast, but its appearance now is quite amazing compared to when we first met it."

Ling Chengen sat cross-legged behind him, still feeling a little annoyed: "Just say it directly, you've gained weight and gotten stronger."

Bai Qingyu could tell that she was a little unconvinced. She probably felt that the little winged dragon was a bit of a fence-sitter. When Chongzhen took it out to eat and drink well, it immediately became subservient to Chongzhen.

"Chongzhen is indeed very good at taming animals, but Bao Bao recognizes you, so you don't need to be jealous."

Ling Chengen reached out and patted him on the back of the neck, stubbornly saying, "What am I jealous about?"

Am I such a petty person?

Bai Qingyu paused for a few seconds, then said against her will, "Um...you're not."

Ling Chengen snorted: "When Bao Bao's hunting success rate was low before, wasn't it because I took it hunting? It just didn't happen often, but I did teach it properly. In the end, it still ran away whenever it wanted..."

Bai Qingyu consciously kept quiet, knowing that it was best not to say anything at this moment.

He has now discovered another particularly endearing trait of Enen – her stubbornness.

……

The three returned to the Mulan Plain in the middle of the night. As soon as they landed, the people in the cave came out.

Upon seeing the group of people jumping down from mid-air, Yu Heng withdrew his supernatural power, and Shi Ruo'an also dispersed the ice spikes she was holding in her palm.

"Why did you come back again after only a few days at home?" Yuheng asked casually, leaning against the stone wall at the entrance of the cave.

"Staying at home is a bit boring; I feel it's more interesting to stay here."

The dry season in the Northern Wilderness is truly unbearable. Many animals are nowhere to be seen during the day, and they get hot as soon as they move around, so most of the orcs find a cool place to lie down during the day and only start to move around in the evening.

Yuheng glanced at Chongzhen, who had jumped down from the little winged dragon, and said without a hint of helplessness, "It's still very dangerous here. The previous epidemic hasn't ended yet, and you've brought that fox here again?"

"He insisted on coming, I couldn't just stop him from coming, could I?" Ling Chengen spread his hands, feeling wronged as well.

Chongzhen walked over and overheard their conversation. He smiled and said, "If you're going to tie me up, then I'm willing."

Bai Qingyu and Yu Heng both turned their gazes to the grinning fox, a dark glint flashing in their eyes.

I can tell from her eyes that this fox is definitely a seductive and cunning vixen.

Ling Chengen, oblivious to the tension between them, rubbed his arms and said with a chilling expression, "Don't mess with me! Anyone who didn't know better would think I'm such a weirdo. If you keep disgusting me like this, I really will send you back!"

Chongzhen shrugged and spread his hands, saying, "If you don't like it, then I won't say anything more."

Ling Chengen gave Yu Heng the medicinal herbs prepared by Yu Shaochen, as well as the cool blue stone that he could sleep on.

Yuheng was a little surprised to see the medicinal herbs, but he did not refuse Yu Shaochen's kindness and put all the herbs into his spatial storage.

As for the bluestone bed that Ling Chengen gave him, he clearly liked it very much.

He casually placed it outside the cave, ignoring the surprised looks from the others, and lay down on it, comfortably closing his eyes.

Feeling the heat and sweat instantly cool his skin, Yu Heng sighed comfortably, "I didn't expect this bluestone to be so effective at cooling down."

Bai Qingyu looked at his wet hair and realized that he was really afraid of the heat, so she kindly reminded him, "Rinse it with water beforehand, it will cool you down better."

"However, the effect of splashing water once will only last for about one beast hour."

Yu Heng jumped off the bluestone bed, pointed to the bed surface, and stared at Bai Qingyu: "Could you please help me rinse off?"

Make him go to the stream to fetch water in the middle of the night, and then come back to wash himself...

He decided against it. He didn't want to go through all that trouble, and there was a water-type warrior right in front of him, so he figured he might as well use him.

Bai Qingyu was speechless for a few seconds at his righteous request for water, but still waved her hand, conjuring a stream of water that washed over a patch of bluestone.

Before coming here, the stone had been washed clean, so Yuheng lay down on it without waiting for the water to dry.

He turned his head to make way, and looked at Ling Chengen, saying, "I know you're also afraid of the heat, so you can have half of my bed."

Ling Chengen rolled his eyes at the small area he had given up: "Thanks, but no need, I have enough."

She sat by the embers of the fire, turned to look at the taciturn Shi Ruoan, and asked, "Is Shi Panxing feeling any better?"

“It’s still the same.” Yu Heng answered Shi Ruoan’s question for her, propping his cheek up with one hand and lying on the stone bed, saying lazily, “You know his condition. Almost all the flesh and blood of the lower half of his fish tail has been cut off. The reconstructed plant blood vessels can only temporarily maintain his physical condition. The problem is still those few rare medicinal herbs. If I can gather them within a month, I can definitely cure him.”

Shi Ruoan raised her eyes and said, "I will go find the medicine."

Ling Chengen was not entirely ignorant; he had Bai Qingyu by his side, who knew a great deal about the origins and rarity of these five medicinal herbs.

Like everyone else, Shi Ruoan thought that by the time he found all five medicinal herbs, Shi Panxing's body would probably be rotting.

Shi Ruoan remembered the advice Su Weihua had kindly given her, and looked up at the little female sitting quietly on the rock chatting with Yu Heng.

Would it really help to beg her?

However, if he didn't ask for help and relied solely on himself, climbing the star would almost certainly lead to his death.

Even if there's only a sliver of hope, he should still try his best to fight for it.

However, it seems that he has no leverage to persuade the other party now.

The people present could all see Shi Ruoan's struggle and conflict, but no one took the initiative to speak to him.

Ling Chengen used his mental abilities to contact Yu Heng and asked, "Do we really have to go to such a far place to find those five medicinal herbs? Isn't there any other way? Or are there any alternative herbs?"

"Don't you even look at the injuries that merman suffered? Ordinary medicines can't possibly have the effect of restoring flesh and bone, or even repairing the tiny meridians in the body?"

"You should be grateful that I was able to prescribe this medicine. Any other witch doctor would have immediately sentenced him to death without the slightest hesitation."

Ling Chengen touched his nose somewhat sheepishly, rested his chin on his hand, and said, "I thought I could make a fortune from the sea tribe, but it seems there's no chance. All my previous efforts will probably be in vain."

Yuheng lay on the bed, observing her depressed expression, his fingertips rhythmically tapping his temples.

He was still hesitant about whether to take out his treasured possessions.

He currently has three kinds of medicinal herbs in stock. Although they have been stored for quite a while, their medicinal effects are certainly not as good as when they were freshly picked, but they are still usable.

However, he didn't have many of these three medicinal herbs, especially the Bean Vine Ice Scale, which was the last one left.

Once it's used up, that's it.

Bean vine ice scale is a parasitic plant that lives in very cold places, but it will die immediately when it encounters ice and snow, so its yield has always been very low.

The copy he had was given to him before he encountered the beast tide in the north. He had saved the tribe's beastmen, and they hadn't used it in gratitude for the gift.

Yuheng thought for a long time before finally speaking, "I currently have three kinds. As for the remaining two... Purple Rainbow Regeneration Grass and White Bone Immortal Mushroom, you'll have to find those yourself."

Shi Ruoan suddenly looked up, staring at Yu Heng in shock. She probably hadn't expected Yu Heng to express his opinion before she could even speak, and her emotions were so turbulent that she was momentarily speechless.

Ling Chengen lowered his eyes, a hint of a smile flickering at the corner of his eye.

Bai Qingyu sat down next to her and whispered in her ear, "You did this on purpose, didn't you?"

Ling Chengen looked bewildered, his clear eyes wide, and asked, "What do you mean, intentional?"

Bai Qingyu reached out and covered her eyes, teasingly saying, "Your acting is terrible, I could tell right away."

Yuheng was aware of this, but no one knew what he was really thinking, or how he made the decision to take out the three medicinal plants he had treasured.

“Actually, if you just ask directly, Yuheng won’t refuse you.”

Ling Chengen rested his chin on one hand and smiled, "Of course I know he won't refuse me."

"But even if he's unwilling to give it, that's okay."

She was just expressing her feelings; she wasn't sure if it would ultimately influence Yuheng's thinking.

But this uncertainty is actually just right.

Ultimately, whether to save him or not, to give him or not, is Yuheng's own choice.

If she were to plead with Yuheng on behalf of Shi Ruoan, the situation would be completely different.

Yuheng may have initially resisted, but because he couldn't refuse her, he was swept up by her strong desire and had no choice but to take out those treasures.

Whether Shi Panxing or Yu Heng is more important to her is not a question she needs to consider at all.

Shi Panxing and Shi Ruoan's identities do have some value, but this value is far off and will not be realized for a long time.

But Yuheng is her ally and partner.

If she had to choose between the two brothers surnamed Shi and Yuheng, she would not hesitate to let those two mermen die.

Ling Chengen knew very well that she was not a good person. She was often selfish and would even resort to any means to achieve certain goals, but she did not think that this was wrong or bad.

The adult world is not black and white, nor is it so much a matter of right and wrong.

She doesn't deny using those close to her, nor does she feel that using them will deplete that trust and affection.

Just like Yuheng and Chongzhen, if they wanted to use her to achieve certain goals, she wouldn't feel there was anything wrong with it.

Unlike Bai Qingyu, these two people initially sought to join her camp based on their own interests and tried their best to obtain certain things from her.

From some perspectives, both of them are extremely utilitarian in their actions.

But she was the same.

A sincere and open lover, full of passion, will follow you through thick and thin without hesitation.

Such beauty is certainly captivating.

But one cannot expect to live a life of such fleeting and precious happiness.

Therefore, mutual exploitation is also a way to maintain social relationships and improve one's own life.

Just like how she went to great lengths to save people not because she was kind and benevolent, but because she wanted to get something from them.

Su Weihua is one example, as is Shi Panxing.
