Chapter 2020: Cute Stupidity

 

Ning Shu couldn’t help but facepalm at this cute stupidity.

More and more vines from the man-eating trees were attacking and Ning Shu was a little overwhelmed.
The vines were not monsters and could still entangle people even if they were cut.

Little Grass lifted Ning Shu up into the sky again so that the vines would not reach Ning Shu.

Ning Shu decided to retreat.
There was nothing to be gained from struggling against these vines endlessly.
Besides, she didn’t plan on saving these people.

 

Little Grass plunged its roots into the trunk of the man-eating tree, which resulted in fresh blood flowing out along the trunk.
In the end, its roots actually snapped the entire tree in half.

Ning Shu: …

Why did she feel that Little Grass’s eating instinct was a little frightening?

“Don’t fight for now! Save us first.” Miss Mu’s expression was as if she was in a lot of pain.
The branches of the man-eating tree had entered her body and were currently sucking her blood.

In addition, she didn’t know what was injected into her body, but it made her body feel hot.
It was as if she was about to be corroded.

Ning Shu was expressionless.
She didn’t intend to save them.
Even if the Mu family’s miss died in front of her, she wouldn’t bat an eye.

Seeing that Ning Shu was so unconcerned, Miss Mu’s expression became a little desperate.
Her internal organs were so hot that they seemed to be melting.

“The Mu family will give you anything you want.
We can give you all 25 of the lotus seeds,” Miss Mu said anxiously.

After Ning Shu heard her say that, she became even less inclined to save them.
It would be impressive enough already if they didn’t kill her, let alone compensate her with such a handsome reward.

The reputation of such a big family could not be destroyed by a commoner like Ning Shu who could only live from hand to mouth.

Miss Mu was clearly an arrogant and proud person.
If she were rescued by Ning Shu, she would lose all face.

“If you save me, I can accept you as my disciple.
I am a prized member of the Mu family and I will definitely give you a good reward.” Elder Li’s face was a little pale.

His summoned beast was dead.
It had been turned into a pool of blood and absorbed by the man-eating trees.

His internal organs were about to be completely liquefied.

Ning Shu indifferently said, “How can you be someone’s master with your strength? In addition, what kind of master would have to be saved by their disciple?”

“You…” Elder Li’s complexion turned even paler.
He looked deathly pale.
He was also unable to stop blood from leaking out of the corners of his mouth.

After several days of rotting, his internal organs could no longer support even the most basic operations.

“Elder Li, Elder Li…” Seeing Elder Li vomiting blood, Miss Mu’s expression became even more desperate.
She turned her head and begged Ning Shu, “Please save me, I’m begging you!”

At this time, Miss Mu completely gave up her dignity.
After all, being able to live was the most important thing.

Ning Shu tilted her head and didn’t speak.
She was waiting for Miss Mu to die so she could take the twenty-something lotus seeds.

“Do you know who I am? As long as you save me, you can have anything you want!” Miss Mu yelled at Ning Shu, her face twisted from the pain.

Ning Shu did not look at Miss Mu but instead looked at the mountain range around them.

Miss Mu finally couldn’t endure the corroding power anymore.
She abruptly vomited blood, then died.

“Little Grass, get me over there.” Ning Shu said to Little Grass.
Immediately afterward, she shook her head.
It wasn’t like this little guy could understand her.

Ning Shu hugged the thick vine and slid down again.
Then, she froze.
The crotch area of her pants now had a hole.

Ning Shu brandished her dagger, walked to the front of the man-eating tree, and directly dragged the corpse of Miss Mu away.
There were vines tightly coiled around the corpse of Miss Mu which Ning Shu cut.

Ning Shu ran out of the man-eating trees area while dragging Miss Mu’s corpse.
She then felt all over Miss Mu’s body.

Finally, she felt a box.
When she opened it, white smoke drifted from the box, and a gust of chilly wind appeared.

So this was the method for preserving the lotus seeds.

Ning Shu threw a few lotus seeds in her mouth.
After all, saving it had no purpose.
The Mu family must know that Miss Mu came to look for the lotus seeds.
If lotus seeds were sold in the market, lots of suspicions might fall on her head.

The lotus seeds that entered her body were freezing cold.
Ning Shu chewed a few times and swallowed it.
The cold was incomparable.
It was as if a bucket of ice water was poured on her in the middle of summer.

A gust of spiritual energy rushed into her dantian.
There was so much of it that it felt like it was trying to break through her dantian.
In the end, it was all absorbed by the energy in her dantian.

It seemed as if the energy had eaten and was now full.
It hiccupped.

Little Grass walked to Ning Shu’s side.
Ning Shu threw one on the ground to give to it.
She’d like to see how it would be able to eat without a mouth.
