I am a mage and a wet nurse, so using seven swords is not too much, right?

Chapter 1318 You Call Me 2 Dogs

"Goodbye."

Without saying a word, Qian Jue retrieved the corpse of the Nether Phoenix Clan cultivator, and with a flick of his body, he disappeared from the Cloud Pavilion.

It comes quickly and goes quickly.

The vast Yunqi Terrace was instantly left with only Lei Zhen and the two Wuyin bandits who had been in charge of Ning Ruan's meals.

"Senior Lei...?" one of them asked cautiously, "Is Fellow Daoist Ning really not coming back?"

Lei Zhen took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "Didn't you all hear it?"

"Then...what are we going to do?!" Another chef cried out in despair, his face full of heartache. "We just developed the taro milk tea, and we even made that thing called milk foam according to Fellow Daoist Ning's request. We haven't even had a chance to let her taste it yet!"

"Yes, yes!" The first one chimed in, slapping his thigh. "And the mango pomelo sago we tried yesterday, the sweetness and ice level were adjusted to her liking, she'll definitely love it! If she doesn't come back, who are we going to make it for?"

Lei Zhen: "..."

The veins on his forehead throbbed, and a sudden surge of anger shot from his dantian to the top of his head.

He turned around abruptly, his usually gloomy and sharp eyes now almost spitting fire.

He stared intently at the two idiots in front of him, whose only interests seemed to be researching sweet soups and pastries, and whose minds seemed to be filled with nothing but the three words "Fellow Daoist Ning".

"What do we do?" Lei Zhen's voice was forced out through clenched teeth. "Do you even remember who you are?"

The last sentence was like a bucket of ice water being poured over someone's head.

The expressions on the faces of the two bandits froze instantly.

The look of heartache he had just given Ning Ruan because she couldn't taste the new product was now completely gone.

Instead, there was a pallor mixed with bewilderment and terror.

Boundless bandits.

Yes, they are the Boundless Bandits.

They are ruthless killers whose infamous reputation has spread to several regions!

But... but what were they doing just now?

Are we researching whether to add milk foam to taro milk tea? And adjusting the sweetness of mango pomelo sago?

"Senior Lei... Senior Lei..." one person stammered, their voice trembling, "Then... what do we do now?"

The other one also looked as if he had just woken up from a dream, his face drained of color, and he looked anxiously at Lei Zhen.

"..."

Seeing their bewildered and cowardly state, Lei Zhen's anger inexplicably dissipated by more than half.

What else can I do?

What's the point of getting angry at these two guys whose minds are only filled with food?

Lei Zhen let out a long breath, feeling utterly exhausted.

He waved his hand, his voice conveying a sense of helplessness.

What else can we do?

"Since the protection fee has already been paid, let's focus on the guard duties first. You're all quite capable of doing that now anyway."

Two bandits from the Endless Land: "..."

Guards... this isn't a job that a bunch of bandits like them should be doing.

"Senior Lei, Ning Dao... Ning Ruan has already left, hasn't she? Then let's leave too. She's not even here, why should we listen to her?"

Upon hearing this, another bandit from the Boundless Realm's eyes lit up, and he quickly chimed in, "Yes, we can leave now. The Boundless Realm is so vast; if Ning Ruan leaves, we may never see each other again in our lives."

Lei Zhen: "..."

As the two of them got more and more excited, he felt a lump in his throat, unable to spit it out or swallow it back.

Suffering to death.

These guys can just leave whenever they want.

What about him?

How did he get there?

The soul-controlling talisman within the body is an unstable factor that could explode at any moment.

"Since you know how to cook, why don't you go and cook for those guests? You can earn more money that way."

He said it almost through gritted teeth.

Two bandits from the Endless Land: "..."

……

"Three days have passed, why haven't they woken up yet?"

In the vast, boundless expanse, an excessively luxurious carriage is speeding along.

Ning Ruan leaned back on the soft couch.

He held in his hand the Soul-Nourishing Jade, which still shone with golden light.

He couldn't help but shake the jade pendant in his hand again.

There was still no response.

"Little Red, do you think that damn guy would lie to me?"

"But he's already dead. Even if he lied to his master, there's nothing his master can do."

Little Red floated in mid-air, swaying the sword.

Ning Ruan: "..."

Although this guy has been much quieter lately.

But when she opens her mouth, it's still quite jarring.

After thinking for a moment, she took out a jade bottle.

Pour the milky white liquid inside onto the Soul-Nourishing Jade.

The situation is the same as before.

The liquid was instantly absorbed upon contact with the jade pendant.

Not even a trace was left.

"...He can still eat a lot, so he should be fine."

Just as Ning Ruan was about to shake the jade pendant a couple more times to see if she could directly wake up the wisp of soul inside, the Soul-Nourishing Jade in her hand suddenly trembled slightly without warning.

It's very mild.

But she still noticed it.

Ning Ruan stopped what she was doing and brought the Soul-Nourishing Jade to her eyes again.

On the jade pendant, the golden halo that had been flowing quietly before now seemed to come alive, beginning to rotate slowly, its speed increasing.

A faint, almost imperceptible spiritual fluctuation emanated from it.

"Is it waking up?"

Ning Ruan raised an eyebrow.

The jade pendant did not respond.

But the golden light above grew even brighter, and the speed of rotation seemed to have reached its limit.

hum-

A soft chime.

A nearly transparent figure suddenly emerged slowly from the jade pendant and hovered in front of Ning Ruan.

The silhouette of that figure was clearly Chi Ling.

At this moment, however, she looked blank, her eyes closed, as if she were still immersed in boundless darkness.

A few more moments passed.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly before she slowly opened her eyes.

Those were empty eyes, devoid of any focus.

She first looked at her illusory hands, then looked around blankly, and finally focused her gaze on the only clear entity in front of her.

"who are you?"

A faint, fleeting voice emanated from the illusory figure, carrying the hoarseness and confusion of someone just awakened.

Then she asked another question.

"And who am I?"

Where am I?

The three consecutive amnesiac events.

Ning Ruan looked at her calmly, without answering immediately.

Chi Ling's soul wavered again, seemingly unstable, and the confusion in her eyes deepened.

"Your name is Er Gou."

Ning Ruan finally spoke, her voice clear and her tone earnest.

Chiling: "?"
