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

Nuoan raised an eyebrow, then looked at Jiang Lan with disbelief.

"How did you manage to do that?"

"What? How did you do that?"

Jiang Lan asked the question knowing the answer already.

"It's just..." Noan thought for a long time, then said, "It's just... how exactly did you know there's thunderstone beneath this place?"

"So you just knew that..."

Jiang Lan didn't really want to talk about it.

This Thunderstone was, of course, detected by Babata.

But right now, he and Nuoan and his group are only acquaintances; they are far from being truly open and honest with each other.

Therefore, Jiang Lan will not tell Nuoan about Babata's existence right now.

Noan's eyes flickered.

"Do you have a detector on you?"

Jiang Lan shrugged and spread his hands, saying:

"Just pretend you have it."

Nuoan's eyes darted around as she looked at Jiang Lan, seemingly lost in thought.

After a moment, he made up his mind, gritted his teeth, and said:

"I don't care whether you have detectors or anything like that, and I don't want to delve into it. My question is, can you find any other Thunderstone anywhere else?"

"able."

Without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Lan nodded directly.

He made no attempt to hide this fact.

After all, if he wanted to hide, he wouldn't have brought Noan and his group here to search for the Thunderstone in the first place.

Even if Nuoan were to become greedy and harbor any improper thoughts towards him, Jiang Lan would not be afraid.

He has the confidence to back it up.

After all, his strength speaks for itself; he's a genuine first-tier cosmic power.

Dealing with these bodyguards at the ninth level of the Hengxing realm is just a matter of waving a hand.

Therefore, he was not worried at all that Nuoan would turn his back on him.

If that situation really happens...

Although Jiang Lan usually seems quite kind, if anyone were to truly threaten his safety...

Then I'm sorry, he has no choice but to go on a killing spree.

I hope Nuoan won't do anything rash.

If that's the case, he'll have to go through the trouble of finding new teammates.

Upon hearing Jiang Lan's affirmative answer, Nuoan's eyes instantly lit up with joy.

"real?"

"Hmm," Jiang Lan said calmly, "I never lie."

Nuoan suppressed his excitement.

"Okay, I'll suggest a plan, what do you think?"

Jiang Lan looked at Nuo An with some curiosity.

"A plan? What plan?"

Noan said, "You lead us to find the Thunderstone. We'll be responsible for digging it up and protecting you. As for the Thunderstone we find, we'll split it 30/70!"

"Sanqi?"

Jiang Lan frowned slightly.

"Yes, it's a 30/70 split," Nuoan said. "We get 30%, you get 70%, and if that doesn't work, 20/80 is fine too, as long as you agree."

Jiang Lan was genuinely stunned when she heard this.

Unexpectedly, the 30/70 split that Nuoan mentioned actually meant that they only wanted 30%.

At first, Jiang Lan thought they would take 70% and give him 30%.

Moreover, judging from Nuoan's words, if he doesn't agree to a 30/70 split, even a 20/80 split would be acceptable.

Jiang Lan looked Nuo An up and down with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

What kind of pushover is this?

Logically speaking, in this situation, shouldn't he have had his bodyguards capture him and then forced him to search for the Thunderstone?

Unexpectedly...

Jiang Lan smacked her lips.

This Nuoan is really outrageous, to the point that Jiang Lan has no idea what's going on in this kid's head.

When a good person goes to this extent, there's really no one else like them.

However, this suits Jiang Lan's taste better.

To be honest, what he just said was somewhat like entrapment.

If Noan really does something bad, he won't be lenient.

But I never expected that Nuoan would be like this...

This was exactly what Jiang Lan wanted.

He simply waved his hand.

"No need. I can take you to find the Thunderstone, but I don't want anything and I won't take a share of the profits."

Noan's eyes widened.

"How can this be allowed?"

"No problem, but I have one request."

"What? Tell me," Nuoan said, "If you can really lead me to a large number of Thunderstones, I'll grant you any request, not just one, but ten."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lan did not speak immediately, but paused before saying:

"Let's go first and find the Thunderstone. As for my request, we can discuss it after you've found the Thunderstone."

Upon hearing this, Nuoan's eyes flickered.

Nova, standing to the side, wore a suspicious expression on her pretty face.

"I'm telling you, you idiot, don't let him fool you. He doesn't look like a good person at all."

Jiang Lan: "..."

He wanted to ask, why didn't he seem like a good person?

There wasn't a single part of him that could be associated with bad people!

I don't know why this girl is so hostile towards him.

Jiang Lan sized up Nova.

It was only then that he took a good look at Nova.

This little girl's looks, if placed on Earth, would almost completely outshine everyone else.

Of course, it's still a step below in terms of alluring charm.

Even so, it's not bad.

Although martial artists undergo a baptism of life level after entering the planetary and eternal star levels.

Even so, there aren't many girls in the Hengxing realm whose looks can rival this little girl's.

In addition, her figure is quite good, with curves in the right places and a good hourglass shape.

But her mouth is a bit too sharp-tongued.

After observing for a while, Jiang Lan looked away.

"What are you looking at? I'll gouge your eyes out!"

Nova looked indignant.

Jiang Lan: "..."

"It's alright, it's alright." Noan quickly covered Nova's mouth from the side. "My sister has some mental issues. She talks like that to everyone. Don't worry about her."

Jiang Lan waved her hand.

Of course he wouldn't care.

He had no interest in arguing with a little girl.

"Let's go, let's go to the next place."

As Jiang Lan finished speaking, Babata's voice rang in his mind.

"At your seven o'clock position, 120 kilometers away, 350 meters underground, there are a total of 98923 Thunderstones."

"sharp."

Jiang Lan praised Babata and then began to lead the way.

Seeing this, Nuoan hurriedly waved and called for everyone to follow.

As for Nova, although the little girl still looked unwilling, she silently followed in the group.

A moment later, Jiang Lan stopped in place.

He pointed to the ground.

"350 meters underground, let's dig."

Nuoan's eyes lit up.

He thought it would take some time to find the next place.

But to their surprise, Jiang Lan led them to the location where the Thunderstone was stored so quickly.

After a moment of surprise, he quickly instructed the bodyguards:

"Stop standing there, start digging!"

The bodyguards responded in unison:

"yes!"

With that, the group flew downwards. (End of Chapter)
