Swallowing the Stars: Sacrifice to Become Stronger, Fiancée is Alluring

"Amazing!"

Jiang Lan offered the compliments absentmindedly.

Noan was a little unhappy.

"You're not being honest at all!"

Jiang Lan's expression changed to sincerity.

"Amazing!"

"It feels like something's missing!"

Jiang Lan rolled her eyes.

"You came all this way to see me just to crack a few jokes?"

"My brother is just so boring!"

Nova, who hadn't spoken until now, finally spoke up.

And the moment she opened her mouth, she dealt her brother a devastating blow.

Nuoan clutched his chest.

"Oh, Nova! How could you say that about your handsome, smart, cute, brave, and great brother?"

Jiang Lan: "..."

Nova: "..."

After a moment of silence, Jiang Lan turned to leave.

He had just been thinking that this group of people might be able to help him exchange for treasures in the castle.

But now it seems...

forget it.

The older brother is an idiot, and the younger sister doesn't seem very bright either.

If we actually let them exchange for treasures, who knows what kind of big news they might cause.

"Hey... don't go!"

Nuoan reached out to stop Jiang Lan, "You haven't finished speaking yet, how can you leave?"

Jiang Lan: "?"

Tell me, what do we have to say to each other?

Before Jiang Lan could even speak, Nuoan, standing to the side, said with a smile:

"I see you're quite capable, and your looks are pretty much to my liking. Why don't you join our Akayate family?"

Jiang Lan's expression gradually became serious, then turned into disgust.

"I like women, thank you."

Who could stand this?

He's a perfectly good married man, and now someone actually wants him to marry into the family?

Nuoan was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this.

"No, no...you've misunderstood...I didn't mean that, I like women too!"

Jiang Lan barely suppressed the urge to kill him outright.

If you don't want people to misunderstand, please don't say things that are easy to misunderstand next time, okay?

"I see you don't have any organization, how about we dig for that thunderstone together? I'll give you a share of whatever we find, how about that?"

Jiang Lan initially wanted to refuse outright.

But then, as if remembering something, he remained silent for a moment before nodding.

"Okay, let's do it together."

A smile appeared on Noan's face.

Jiang Lan then said:

"Come with me."

He joined this group for no other reason than this.

Rather, he felt that although Nuoan's IQ wasn't very high, he was probably a decent person.

But he couldn't very well tell them directly at this point to help him exchange for the treasures.

So let's get to know each other better first, and then see what kind of people they are.

"Go with you? Where to?" Nuoan asked, looking puzzled.

Jiang Lan flew ahead without turning her head and said, "Trust me and come with me."

The two siblings, Nuoan and his sister, exchanged a glance, and then he directed the bodyguards who were following him.

"Walk."

After leading everyone in flight for a while, Babata's voice echoed in Jiang Lan's mind.

"There are 56872 Thunderstones about 400 meters underground beneath your feet."

More than 50,000 yuan is not a lot for Jiang Lan.

But for Noan and his group, more than 50,000 Thunderstones was already quite a lot.

"It's right below here, let's start digging."

Jiang Lan pointed to the mountain range beneath her feet.

Upon hearing this, Nuoan looked astonished.

"Really? You're not kidding me, are you?"

They had only been flying for a few minutes, and how could Jiang Lan be so sure that there were Thunderstones underground?

They even specified how deep it was.

Jiang Lan shrugged. "Believe it or not."

After a moment of silence, Nuoan chose to believe Jiang Lan.

Although it was only the second time they had met, he intuitively felt that Jiang Lan was a very reliable person.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to invite Jiang Lan.

Since he's said so, why not give it a try?

Even if we don't have it, we won't lose anything anyway.

Thinking of this, he waved his hand slightly.

Beside him, several bodyguards of varying builds exchanged glances.

Immediately afterwards, a tall, burly man emerged, with tanned skin, a bald head, and an appearance of immense strength.

He was the first to be hit, and landed on the ground with a thud.

With his immense force, the ground sank several meters down.

The others followed suit, flying to the ground and rolling up their sleeves, ready to get to work.

Four hundred meters underground may seem deep, but for these Star-level martial artists, it only takes a few minutes to clear the way.

In particular, they are all elites of the Hengxing level, at the ninth level of Hengxing, just one step away from breaking through to the cosmic level.

Five minutes later, the burly man who was digging suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Found it! Thunderstone!"

Upon hearing the voice, Nuoan was initially delighted, but quickly realized what was happening and said:

"Keep your voice down! Don't forget, we're not the only ones looking for Thunderstone right now. If you're too loud, what if we attract people from other factions?"

A hint of admiration flashed in Jiang Lan's eyes.

Although Nuoan may seem a bit dim-witted, he doesn't seem too stupid either.

This place is in the wild now, and nobody cares about it.

If others saw them mining Thunderstone, they would probably come and snatch it away.

There were only ten people in their group, including Jiang Lan.

When faced with a team of hundreds or even thousands of people, the difference is significant.

Of course, it's a difference in numbers.

In terms of strength, Jiang Lan was not afraid at all.

The burly man immediately fell silent.

Noan continued:

"Hurry up and dig! Speed ​​it up! Once we're done, we'll move on to the next spot."

Upon hearing this, the bodyguards dug even harder, but Jiang Lan's figure remained floating in the sky, showing no intention of descending.

He wasn't after those Thunderstones in the first place.

These things were merely a small gift he gave to Nuoan when they first met.

Since they didn't want it, it wouldn't be right for him to go down and dig with the bodyguards.

Unlike Jiang Lan, the bodyguards below were digging for Thunderstone at an extremely slow pace.

Half an hour later, they had only dug away half of the more than 50,000 Thunderstones.

If Jiang Lan were to dig, in such a long time, let alone 50,000 Thunderstones, even 5 million, he should have finished digging them all by now.

However, Jiang Lan was not in a hurry.

Anyway, we still have plenty of time, so it won't matter if we delay for a while.

After we finish digging here, we'll take them to a couple more places and get a few hundred thousand pieces of Thunderstone.

It's not too late to try the next step of the plan after we've completely convinced Nuoan.

In the blink of an eye, almost another hour had passed.

Finally, the thunderstone on the ground had been completely depleted and was almost invisible.

Soon, several bodyguards flew into the sky one after another, their faces full of smiles, and handed the bracelets on their wrists to Nuoan.

"Young Master! We're done! A total of 56872 Thunderstones, not a single one missing. Please take a look!" (End of Chapter)
