Chapter 91

After careful consideration, she only stayed on the outer edge of Qingxu Valley, quietly waiting for any movement and capturing a tool beast that wasn’t too fierce.

The prey arrived.

At the moment the footsteps sounded, Ning Ning swiftly turned around, facing the dark gray shadow that was rushing towards her, and directly struck it with a sword technique.

Her strength was light, and the sword technique hit the opponent’s forehead directly. The gray shadow swayed for a moment and then lost consciousness, collapsing to the ground.

It turned out to be a sturdy wolf, but it seemed a bit frail and not very resilient to attacks.

Ning Ning stepped forward and, like in the original text, put it into her storage bag.

Next, all she needed to do was find out where Wen Hemian was and release the wolf when he least expected it.

God, please bless me. This time, don’t let there be any more mistakes like the previous few times.

=====

The villain wasn’t portrayed in vivid detail like the main character, and the original text wasn’t a map guide. When mentioning the plan of the original owner, it only used a simple sentence: “After some searching, Ning Ning finally found Wen Hemian sitting in the woods reading.”

For just this sentence, Ning Ning sadly wandered in the woods for who knows how long.

This time, Wen Hemian didn’t play the qin, so relying on the sound of the qin to locate him was no longer feasible. She looked around as she walked out of the woods and finally saw his figure under a big tree.

As described in the original text, he was sitting by the tree, quietly reading with his eyes lowered.

The ancient tree’s roots twisted and knotted, resembling coiling dragons, while the interwoven deep brown bark resembled cracked rocks, with hints of green moss growing faintly.

Wen Hemian, in his white robe, was elegant and refined, with hair as black as ink. Sunlight fell upon his pale face, dyeing his drooping raven-colored eyelashes a faint golden hue, resembling a motionless figure in a painting.

Ning ning was extremely nervous, her mind completely preoccupied, and she didn’t have the leisure to appreciate such beautiful scenery. She silently apologized to the elder Jiang Xing.

She crouched behind a bush, releasing the gray wolf, and then raised her hand, extending the storage bag to the other side.

This way, not only could Wen Hemian not see her, but the first thing the gray wolf would see after leaving the storage bag would only be the white-robed youth sitting directly opposite it.

The entire operation flowed smoothly and flawlessly.

Ning Ning didn’t want Wen Hemian to get hurt, so she stared anxiously through the gaps in the bushes at the scene on the other side. Just as the storage bag emitted a faint light, at the moment the gray wolf was released—

Wen Hemian, who should have been engrossed in studying ancient texts, for some reason, lifted his head in an instant.

Ning Ning’s heart skipped a beat.

In order for the gray wolf to see Wen Hemian as soon as possible, she deliberately chose a good position that was directly opposite him.

Sure enough, it was a good position.

As soon as Wen Hemian raised his head, he saw her hand reaching out from outside the bushes, the storage bag in a panic, and those pitch-black round eyes.

—The original plot wasn’t supposed to be like this! Shouldn’t Elder Wen have buried his head in the books from beginning to end! Caught red-handed in the act of seeking death—what textbook-level scene of a car crash is this!

Unfortunately, that fellow Wen Hemian couldn’t understand her embarrassment. He calmly spoke towards her right hand exposed outside the bushes, “Friend Ning.”

Ning Ning was almost sent away by these three words.

Because of the presence of the elder, Qingxu Valley was a forbidden place for disciples of the Xuanxu Sword Sect, and basically, no one would come here on ordinary days.

Looking at the exquisitely embroidered storage bag and the fair fingertips, obviously belonging to a young girl, there seemed to be no other candidates except her.

The gray wolf let out a long whimper, and Ning Ning felt so embarrassed she could barely breathe, wishing she could dig a hole and hide.

But, luckily, she was clever enough. Despite her panic, she still had the ability to think. She immediately stood up from the bushes and said, “Elder Wen, I saw this little wolf in Qingxu Valley today and found it particularly cute, so I wanted to let you see it too.”

Her ears were filled with the deafening roar of the ferocious wolf, and although the gray wolf’s cultivation was not high, its momentum was as if it ruled the world, leaving no one else.

Ning ning, facing its fierce roar and sharp fangs, forced a smile and continued, “It’s strange. It was quite obedient before, but now it has suddenly turned aggressive?”

Yes! That’s it!

Since Wen Hemian witnessed her releasing the wolf, trying to argue vehemently would only backfire. It was better to admit it in person and then casually come up with some excuse to pass it off.

Wen Hemian would definitely be wary of it. Then, when the gray wolf rushed forward to attack, Ning ning could knock it unconscious in one move. Upon careful consideration, it didn’t seem much different from the plot in the original text.

The little girl calculated everything in her mind, her almond eyes revealing a faint smile involuntarily. But before this smile could spread to her lips, she suddenly heard Wen Hemian speak softly.
