At the same time Chen Nan and the Poison Wolf obtained the Nine-leaf Blood Grass—
In Ningjiang City, at the Su family villa!
Su Qingqing had insomnia last night, she spent the entire night worrying that something might happen to Chen Nan. As soon as she closed her eyes, all she could think about was her foolish man.
She didn’t fall asleep until after five in the morning, but after just two hours, she had a nightmare in which she saw Chen Nan seriously injured and being chased down, about to perish at the hands of his enemy. That’s when she woke up startled.
"Ah! No, no, please no!"
Her pretty face turned ashen with fear, she sat up abruptly in bed, her face etched with panic.
"It was just a dream, it scared me to death."
Pounding her chest from the aftershock, her heart continued to beat wildly as she recalled the scenes from her dream, leaving her still terrified.
"You fool, you better not let anything happen to you!"
Su Qingqing muttered under her breath, glancing out of the already bright window, she came back to her senses, and looked toward Liu Tiantian, who was sleeping next to her, reaching out to pinch her cheek: "Silly girl, stop sleeping, wake up, get up quickly!"
Liu Tiantian pouted her lips, not even opening her eyes, and simply mumbled, "Stop bothering me," and continued to sleep soundly.
Su Qingqing was speechless. She just had a terrible nightmare and screamed so loudly, yet this girl could still sleep so deeply without any effect whatsoever.
"Are you a pig or what? How can you sleep so much? Get out of bed!"
With no regard for propriety, Su Qingqing reached out and pinched her lavish chest hard, then shouted into her ear.
"Stinky Qingqing, what are you doing? It’s the weekend, and I finally get to sleep in, yet you’ve ruined it all," Liu Tiantian rubbed her sleepy eyes, looking at her in a daze, her little face spelling ’dissatisfaction’ all over.
Su Qingqing said, "Are you even my sister? I can’t even sleep, and here you are sleeping like the dead."
"Just because you can’t sleep, I have to stay up with you?"
Liu Tiantian yawned, looking listless and grumbled, "You kept me up chatting until three in the morning, and now I’ve only had four hours of sleep, and you woke me up again, how can you be so heartless?"
"You think four hours of sleep is not enough? I’ve only had two hours!"
"Who asked you not to sleep? I didn’t make you stay awake," Liu Tiantian pouted: "Come on, spill it, are you thinking about Cousin?"
Su Qingqing nodded: "Sort of."
Liu Tiantian rolled her eyes and said, "You fool, Cousin just went out to take care of some business, it’s not like he’s not coming back. What’s there to worry about? Besides, when he was here before, he didn’t sleep holding you, so why can’t you sleep now?"
Su Qingqing was at a loss for words.
If Chen Nan was just out handling some business, she wouldn’t be so worried, but this time Chen Nan went to Qianzhong Mountain Range, and she was concerned about his safety.
Rolling her eyes at Liu Tiantian, Su Qingqing said irritably: "It’s hopeless to explain it to you, you love-struck fool, there’s a screw loose in your brain."
"You’re the one with a screw loose in your brain, so dumb," retorted Liu Tiantian with a disdainful twist of her mouth, suddenly seeming to have remembered something, she grabbed Su Qingqing’s hand fiercely and said, "Wait, by thinking about Cousin so much, are you falling in love with him? But he’s mine! After I slim down, I’ll marry him."
At a loss for words, Su Qingqing merely patted her head: "Silly girl, don’t think nonsense, you’re never going to slim those down."
Liu Tiantian touched her two enormous peaks and declared as if taking an oath: "I’ll sleep on my stomach from now on, I refuse to believe I can’t flatten them!"
"Wait until you flatten them, then they will be pancake-shaped, and that’s something the fool won’t like."
Liu Tiantian scratched her head, "So, what should I do?"
Su Qingqing sighed and shook her head, ready to get up, but at that moment, her phone rang.
It must be that idiot!
Su Qingqing thought to herself and hurriedly took out her phone.
However, she was disappointed to find that the caller ID showed an unfamiliar number and it was not Chen Nan.
Last night, she had called Chen Nan several times, but it was always unreachable because at that time, Chen Nan was on a helicopter, and later he had entered the Qianzhong Mountain Range, a place like the primordial forest with absolutely no signal.
Su Qingqing answered the phone with a dejected tone.
"Qingqing, good morning. This is Jiang Haotian. I asked several people to get your number. I had no time last night, so you won’t still refuse to meet me today, will you?"
Su Qingqing felt somewhat conflicted inside.
She wanted to know if there was a real connection between Jiang Haotian and her father, but last night, before leaving, Chen Nan had repeatedly instructed her to stay home all day today, not to go out, and especially not to meet Jiang Haotian.
On one side was curiosity, and on the other was a promise to her loved one. Su Qingqing suddenly found herself in a difficult dilemma.
Meanwhile, back to Chen Nan and the Poison Wolf.
After obtaining the Nine-leaf Blood Grass, they ventured deeper into the forest without fear of the poisonous miasma.
Along the way, Chen Nan realized that it wasn’t just the two of them who had gotten the Nine-leaf Blood Grass, because he occasionally saw one or two martial artists also heading deeper into the jungle.
These individuals were either from the Qi Dao Ninth Heaven or the Ten Layers of Heaven, with virtually none possessing a lower level of cultivation.
Despite knowing everybody was out to grab the Life Essence Fruit, everyone was in a hurry to get on their way, so even if they met on the path, no one struck first and after passing by, they each hurried on their own.
Maybe it was because everyone had different maps, or perhaps some were lost, but the individuals Chen Nan encountered were all heading in different directions, though generally towards the northeast.
Thanks to the old man’s map, the two of them followed the red line marked on it and kept heading in the northeast direction.
Around eleven o’clock in the morning, the two arrived in a valley.
The valley was filled with colorful flowers and green grasses, the orioles were singing, and the spiritual energy was dense, the air filled with a pleasantly cool fragrance; it was completely opposite to the gloomy forest from before and gave the illusion of having entered a heavenly realm.
"We should be close," said Chen Nan.
Poison Wolf nodded, quickening his pace as he walked into the valley.
After walking about a li, they saw figures moving up ahead. From a distance, it looked like there were more than twenty people.
In the middle of these people stood a towering tree, with a trunk ten zhang high, dense branches, and leaves covering a large surrounding area. Among these branches hung several hundred green, human-shaped fruits. Among these fruits, three had already turned pale yellow, ripening before their eyes.
Without a doubt, these human-shaped fruits were what Chen Nan was looking for—the Life Essence Fruits!
