Chapter 121 The Unusual Black Dragon Priest
A cold wind howled past, and the moon rose into the sky.
Heilong picked up a bowl of mulberry tree sap, drank it all in one gulp, and then poured another bowl and handed it to Ning Xiaoxi across from him.
Ning Xiaoxi peeked at it secretly, "The adults said this stuff is cold in nature and won't let me drink it."
Black Dragon raised his knife and brought it down.
Ning Xiaoxi quickly took the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
"Since we parted ways on Tushan Lake Island, Xiaoxi has grown up so much!" The black dragon's completely black robe fluttered in the wind, shimmering with a dark blue light under the moonlight.
Ning Xiaoxi's eyes widened. "Lord Jiuyu!"
Black Dragon raised his knife and brought it down again.
"Lord Black Dragon!"
"Today is already the fourteenth, and tomorrow will be the fifteenth," the black dragon said with a sigh as he looked up at the moon in the sky.
Ning Xiaoxi carefully moved closer to the fire. The scenery at the top of the mountain was beautiful, but it was also freezing cold!
"Don't you like Fifteen?" Black Dragon raised his round hand.
"I love it!" Ning Xiaoxi's mouth moved faster than her brain. "I love it so much, I really love it!" She really missed Jiuyu's cool and aloof voice.
“Bingyi likes it very much too!” The black dragon drank another bowl of mulberry tree sap. “This stuff is bland and tasteless, how could it like to drink it!”
Ning Xiaoxi pursed her lips. "Actually, my taste is the same as the adults'."
Black Dragon's eyes lit up, and with a wave of his long sleeves, a blood-soaked figure fell in front of Ning Xiaoxi.
Ning Xiaoxi looked at the familiar red hair and red skin, but the face covered in blood made it almost unrecognizable.
"How do you like to eat it? Raw or cooked?" Black Dragon stared at Ning Xiaoxi with great interest.
Ning Xiaoxi obediently raised her hand, "My lord, my female attribute is human."
The black dragon lowered its eyes. "Bingyi doesn't like to eat people either. It likes the souls of humans, and I like the bodies of humans. It's always been the one who eats souls and I eat people. We work together perfectly."
Ning Xiaoxi trembled as she caressed the jade cabbage in her hand, her spirit crystal heart pressed against her chest, not daring to move an inch. Only if the black dragon dared to move would it dare to move.
"A thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye. I wonder what its soul has become. That damned Frost Soul dared to interfere. I won't let it succeed." The black dragon drank the mulberry tree sap in the bowl again, then stuck out its tongue in disgust.
Ning Xiaoxi glanced at the Kuafu tribesman who had been thrown to the ground by the black dragon. His chest was barely rising and falling anymore. She couldn't just leave him hanging there, could she? She then looked at Kuiwei Shouyu, who was tied to the black dragon. His pitiful hair had already been almost completely shaved off. If it was shaved off any more, it would probably be his head.
"My lord." Ning Xiaoxi, having gone all out, pulled the Kuafu tribesman from the ground and approached the black dragon, asking cautiously, "The Kuafu chieftain has already led his people up the mountain to pursue Frost Soul. You must have wanted to reap the benefits, right? Why did you suddenly change your mind? Has something changed?"
"They've already fought them!" the black dragon said casually, as if he hadn't seen Ning Xiaoxi drag the Kuafu tribesman away.
"You attacked him?" Ning Xiaoxi shook her head. "Was it after I passed out?"
"Before falling into a coma."
"So, Frost Soul won?" She didn't hear anything before she fainted! The fight was over without a sound, you're kidding me!
"Of course, with those few useless Kuafu people, they can only make it bleed a little, they can't even hurt it." The black dragon said disdainfully, "Although I know that spiritual energy is scarce now, and it is not easy for either humans or demons, it is still a peculiar thing for them to live like Kuafu."
"Useless?" Ning Xiaoxi looked at the black dragon in surprise. The existence that emanated a terrifying aura to her was nothing but trash in the black dragon's eyes?
"Tianji is right. He's always thinking about playing tricks and charlatans. How can he possibly focus on cultivation?" The black dragon delivered another swift and deadly strike.
Looking at Kuiwei Shouyu's hair, which was almost like a weed, contrasting with his pale face and the snow stains on his black robe, Ning Xiaoxi turned her head away, no longer looking at him.
However, the initial anger in Kuiwei's eyes had vanished, for he knew he had no chance against the powerful black dragon. Listening to the black dragon's words, he couldn't help but recall the dazzling scenes of his clansmen cultivating on the mountain peaks, the human merchants bowing before the golden, radiant figure—it truly seemed, as the black dragon had said, a mere act of deception! He hadn't expected his master, Jiuyu, to be a black dragon. The fact that no one in the clan had noticed such powerful demonic energy only further confirmed its words: the clansmen's minds were no longer entirely focused on cultivation.
"What about the clan leader and the others?" Ning Xiaoxi was very worried about the Kuafu clan. After all, they were human warriors, and the black dragon's words could not be completely trusted.
"They were driven away by Frost Soul and went down the mountain!"
Ning Xiaoxi blinked, unable to imagine what it would be like if the Kuafu clan chief were driven away. "Then, why did that Frost Soul capture Shan Yue?"
"Shanyue?" Black Dragon turned his head, bent down, and got close to Ning Xiaoxi's face. "You really consider that kid a friend?"
Ning Xiaoxi didn't back down. She just looked back into the black dragon's eyes. Those dark eyes were like black holes, and the pure black color seemed to be able to suck in a person's soul. "Shanyue is my friend."
After staring at Ning Xiaoxi for a while, Heilong turned around and sat down against the tree trunk. "That kid is alright, at least until tomorrow night."
"Why tomorrow night?" Ning Xiaoxi pressed closer. "Shanyue's cultivation isn't high, and he's not very old. Even if he were to be sacrificed, he wouldn't be a good offering. Unless he has a special use, why would Shuanghun keep him by her side all this time?" Ning Xiaoxi moved closer to the black dragon, slowly sat down very close to it, and said softly.
Black Dragon glanced at her, then stopped using the bowl and took a big gulp of water from the water bag. "Frost Soul is still somewhat useful; at least it brought the bloodline needed to open the seal."
"What seal?" Ning Xiaoxi couldn't help but move closer.
"After they burned Bingyi's body, they sealed its last remaining remains on the top of Kongsang Mountain, where it was exposed to wind and rain day and night." The black dragon swallowed the sap of the three mulberry trees as if drinking wine. "If I hadn't been exhausted at the time and the Tushan tribe hadn't seized the opportunity and sealed me on the lake island in their territory, how could Bingyi have been left to endure a thousand years of wind and rain alone on the mountaintop?"
"You're after Ice Barbarian's remains so it can stop suffering. But what about Frost Soul? Ice Barbarian has already perished, its demonic energy has dissipated, and its remains have been burned. Even if you get its remains, it's useless, isn't it? Why bother with Frost Soul?"
The black dragon seemed to only then realize that Ning Xiaoxi was standing too close to it, but it didn't move away from her anymore. "Girl, you're only at the mid-high level. Don't even think about getting involved in anything beyond the high level. You'll die!"
Ning Xiaoxi's eyes darted around. "Super-rank? My lord, you're more than just super-rank, aren't you?"
Heilong raised his hand and patted Ning Xiaoxi on the head, "I told you not to worry about it, just go down the mountain at dawn tomorrow!"
"No way!" Ning Xiaoxi held out her wrist to show the black dragon the icy blue snowflakes. "I haven't dispelled the Snow Maiden's Soul Traces yet. I can't really become a demon, can I?"
Looking at the silent trace of the Snow Maiden's soul, a playful smile suddenly appeared on the Black Dragon's face.
