Chapter 63: Preliminary Diagnosis: Severe Love Brain

“Cousin, stop messing around.”

Ning Shengsheng slapped his hand away.

“Tsk tsk, I heard from your brother that you haven’t gotten tired of this kid Xue Chen after two months. Are you serious?”

Meng Jingyang placed his hands on his hips, his eyes full of teasing.

He looked like an elder teasing a child.

“Why does Older Brother tell everyone everything?”

Ning Shengsheng glanced at Xue Chen with a guilty conscience. He was looking elsewhere, paying no attention to her.

She felt a little disappointed.

Meng Jingyang was a veteran in the field of love; how could he not see through it?

Just as he was about to egg Ning Shengsheng on to go to Xue Chen, a scream came from the flying ship, followed by Ning Xuan’s roar.

“Yun Huaiyue, how did you get up here?”

“I… walked up with my feet…”

Ning Xuan’s forehead throbbed: “…”

Wasn’t that obvious?

Did she use her head instead?

“Zhen is asking why you snuck on board. Do you know we are going to the Magma Sea?”

“I know.”

Ning Xuan was so angry he couldn’t speak.

Aside from his sister, a second person who could give him a heart attack had appeared.

“You still came knowing that?”

He was exasperated!

Yun Huaiyue saw Ning Shengsheng approaching out of the corner of her eye. She ran behind her, poking her head out.

“I came out to gain experience. Of course, I should go where it’s dangerous. Otherwise, what’s the point of experience?”

“If I miss this, I might never see a place as perilous as the Magma Sea in my life.”

Ning Xuan strode over and grabbed Yun Huaiyue by the collar.

“You are here for experience, not to throw your life away.”

“Get off.”

He was kicking Yun Huaiyue off.

“I won’t go. Besides, I already wrote a letter to Ling Hegui and Lu Youxin. They are waiting at the Magma Sea.”

“Your Majesty, I understand getting the Earth Core Fire Essence. Are you giving me a ride, or letting me go alone?”

Good heavens.

Ning Shengsheng shook her head. Is this what a love brain is?

Ning Xuan thought left and right, but couldn’t do anything with her. He warned her domineeringly, “Once you get there, leave immediately with Ling Hegui.”

“Don’t risk your life with us, understand?”

Yun Huaiyue nodded quickly. “Mm-hmm-hmm!”

Get there first, and then my legs are my own. I can go wherever I want.

Ning Shengsheng saw Yun Huaiyue’s expression.

She knew she was letting it go in one ear and out the other, not taking Ning Xuan’s words to heart at all.

She was all too familiar with this.

She had done plenty of things where she obeyed openly but defied privately.

“Junior Sister Ning~~~”

Yun Huaiyue spread her arms and hugged Ning Shengsheng.

“So happy, I can go on an adventure with you guys.”

Ning Shengsheng’s eye twitched. “Sister Yun, promise me one thing. In the future, never go dig wild vegetables for my brother.”

“Huh?” Yun Huaiyue was confused. “Of course I won’t.”

Ning Shengsheng breathed a sigh of relief.

But then she heard her say with a face full of happiness, “What’s the use of digging wild vegetables? I’m going to dig spiritual herbs for him. I can also refine pills.”

“Hehehehehe…”

Preliminary diagnosis: severe love brain patient.

Meng Jingyang watched the show from the back, a smile on his lips. “Interesting. Great Ning is much more fun than before.”

“If I had known, why would I have wandered around looking for fun?”

The flying ship traveled at maximum speed.

Ning Xuan was busy refining weapons.

The Earth Core Fire Essence was extremely hot and required tweezers made of treated tin-iron ore to handle.

And it had to be placed in a cold jade box.

Everyone was busy with their own things.

Inside the not-so-large flying ship.

Ning Xuan was refining weapons, Ning Shengsheng was cultivating soul techniques, Xue Chen was studying formations, and Yun Huaiyue was refining pills.

As for Meng Jingyang—

That guy took out two crickets and was cricket fighting.

Ning Shengsheng occasionally opened her eyes.

She witnessed the strongest cultivator in Great Ning, sticking his butt out, lying on the floor whispering to crickets.

“……”

Heavens, can I really return alive?

It was another ten-hour high-speed rail ride.

Her butt hurt and her waist was sore.

Finally, they arrived at the magma territory.

She should suggest Ning Xuan put more soft couches on the flying ship next time, or just move a bed onto it.

The ship’s deck was too hard.

By the time they reached the destination, she was basically dead inside.

“So hot…” Yun Huaiyue wiped her face. “First time sweating so much…”

Ning Xuan said coldly, “Use this.”

“Thank you, Ah Xuan~”

Yun Huaiyue caught the Hanling Bead (Cold Spirit Bead) with both hands.

She stroked it like a treasure.

She pressed the bead against her face. “Wow, so cool. Your Majesty is so good to Huaiyue~”

As soon as she finished speaking.

She saw Ning Xuan give everyone a Hanling Bead.

Even Xue Chen got one.

Hmph…

Doesn’t matter!

Even if everyone had one, the one he gave her was the best.

Yun Huaiyue chased after Ning Xuan, asking if he was hot one moment, and if he was hungry the next.

She held pastries and a cattail fan in her hands.

Ning Shengsheng poked Xue Chen.

“Xue Wuyin, we are here for a picnic, right?”

Xue Chen opened his eyes a slit. “Princess, have you gone silly too? We are here to court death.”

“Ah, right!” Ning Shengsheng suddenly realized. “We are here to court death. Seeing Senior Sister Yun so happy…”

“Almost made me hallucinate.”

“You think you’re any better?”

Xue Chen frowned and scoffed, opening his eyes to look at her with amusement. “You, a person whose survival is uncertain, still have the mood to watch other people’s drama.”

“What’s the difference between you and her?”

“Oh…” Ning Shengsheng drawled. “Then I’ll cry in your arms?”

“Cut it out.”

“No, I want to~”

Ning Shengsheng suddenly hugged Xue Chen’s arm, rested her chin on his shoulder, and rubbed her eyes vigorously.

The corners of her eyes were rubbed red.

Not a single tear was seen.

“Your Highness, is it fun?” Xue Chen looked down at her, his gaze lingering on the thin redness at the corner of her eye.

“Not fun.”

Ning Shengsheng withdrew her hand, feeling bored.

He looked at his empty arm and pursed his lips uncomfortably. “If you’re bored, go find Master Meng to fight crickets.”

“Spare me!”

Ning Shengsheng rested her head on his shoulder. “I’d rather sit here and be bored with you than find my cousin.”

Meng Jingyang was too abstract.

“Mm.”

Xue Chen didn’t know what Ning Shengsheng was thinking, he only heard her say she’d rather be bored with him.

A glint of light flashed across his eyes.

The young man’s back straightened even more.

Just to make her neck more comfortable.

As the temperature rose, even holding the Hanling Bead couldn’t stop the sweat.

Ning Shengsheng leaned on the railing and looked down.

Waves of scorching heat hit her face.

Crimson magma surged, viscous like molten iron at high temperatures. Occasionally, bubbles would swell up, quickly boiling and bursting, splashing magma several meters high.

“No place to land.”

She turned back and said, “It’s magma as far as the eye can see.”

Xue Chen came over and leaned down to observe. “We jump down from here. Park the flying ship high up.”

“Can the flying ship withstand the high-temperature roasting?”

He paused slightly. “It should be able to withstand it better than Your Highness.”

Ning Shengsheng: “…Thanks a lot.”

Behind them.

Ning Xuan ordered: “Miss Yun, stay here. Wait for the people from the Qingling Sect to pick you up.”

“I want to go down too.” Yun Huaiyue argued.

“No.”

“I insist on going!”

“No! Means! No!”

“I insist—ugh—”

Ning Shengsheng turned around and saw Ning Xuan raise his hand and strike Yun Huaiyue on the back of the neck.

Yun Huaiyue’s head swayed, and she fainted on the spot.
