Not A Cultivator - Chapter 148
* Krrruuukkk… *
Never would have Fei Bao Xing thought he would become this hungry. He was the second young master from a middle-tier clan there should be no reason he would ever run out of foods. But the situation does not even give him any chance.
It was the second time his stomach would grumble this loud. The first time was years ago when he stuck in the Dark Cloud Ravine with Little Ren. But in that situation, he still has his cultivation, and the Qi in his body could help fight against hunger. However, this time he does not even have any single grain of Qi inside. And without any food or drink, it’s only a matter of time before he could die of hunger.
[Does Fei Bao Xing does not bring any food? Then, does that mean he will die of hunger? So, he will die without us having to do anything? Really?] Chang Miao was putting a complicated expression.
[If we know this would happen, perhaps, it would be better if we did not pick Fei Bao Xing into the group.] Guan Ru Na sighed multiple times along the way.
[What a useless load of weight! He really can’t do anything… But, I have to admit if it wasn’t for him, it would take longer for us to find the keys.] Guan Ru Yi thought as she glared at Fei Bao Xing behind her.
“Nothing…” Although Fei Bao Xing already knows there was no food, he could not help but complain.
Usually in the forest one could gather some wild berries, mushrooms or even herbs. But, the Northern Dark Forest was unique, as it only consists of dark green grass and black leaved trees with dark brown woods. And, the darkness only made him hungrier.
While Fei Bao Xing was lamenting how hungry he was, Chang Miao and the others were leading in the front. They were using the previous method of slow pace while tracing the keys along the way. Yet this activity made them weary, and the girls could not help but chat with each other along the way. Using small voice, they made sure Fei Bao Xing could not hear their conversation.
“It’s only two months left until graduation. Within these two months, we have to get the best result, so we can be accepted as the best disciple, and we can choose our own master,” said Guan Ru Yi.
“Young Lady Min is this all right…” said Guan Ru Na, “I know that there’s only a bit more time left until we’re accepted as the disciple of Silver Hands Owl. But there’s still a long way to go before we could reach him.”
“This is not the time to be talking about this right now,” said Chang Miao. “You two already knows the implication, there’s nothing else to discuss. We should just focus on collecting keys first.”
“Young Lady Min is right,” said Guan Ru Na. “Don’t worry. This servant will do whatever it takes to complete our mission.”
“Me too,” said Guan Ru Yi. “However, what should we do with Fei Bao Xing? Once he secures a source of food, he will be a threat to us. Especially with his terrifying tracing and detection skills, I doubt he will be easy to kill.”
“Ru Yi, you’re overthinking things. First of all, there’s nothing here. And even if he finds one, he could not possibly run away from the three of us.”
“As Young Lady Min said. I do think that you overestimate Fei Bao Xing’s skill. Besides, why are you occasionally steal a glance at him, could it be you like him?” Guan Ru Yi teases.
“Huh… Me? No way! I just got a bad feeling coming from him. My instinct tells me that he’s dangerous. That’s why I just want us to be careful with him. Besides his good looking face, there’s nothing else. Also, there’s no way I would fancy a pervert like him!”
“Ru Na, don’t tease Ru Yi so much. It’s Fei Bao Xing we’re talking about, with his action of last night of creeping into the girls’ room, no woman would ever want to be with him.”
“Then, what type of man does Ru Yi like?”
“I currently am not looking into anyone right now… But, if I have to say, then it’s gotta be Feng Ao Xiu.”
“Of all people, my sister choose Feng Ao Xiu. The hurdle is just too high… But, me too, I wonder if I will ever meet Feng Ao Xiu. Not only he’s strong, but handsome as well. Ahh… It will be like a dream come true!”
“We’re just a lowly servant… There’s no way we could ever get close to someone like Feng Ao Xiu. But, Young Lady Min is pretty, I bet Young Lady could win Feng Ao Xiu’s heart.”
“That’s right! If it’s Young Lady Min, I’m sure she can do it.”
“Stop it, you two…” said Chang Miao with a blushed face. “I don’t have the status like before. And, besides I heard Feng Ao Xiu is already married to the Young Lady of the Yang Clan. It will be too hard for me to enter a relationship with him…”
* Achoo… *
Fei Bao Xing sneezed as he saw the girls were joyfully gossiping in front of him. He wondered what they were talking about.
“Chang Miao… What a coincidence to meet you here!”
As they continued their journey. Fei Bao Xing and the others met with another group. It was Deng Huan and another three normal looking boys that nobody even bothers to remember their names. However, obviously, they were the three out of many Deng Huan’s lackeys.
“Ah… Deng Huan. How are you doing?” Chang Miao politely greeted with a smile.
With such an attractive greet, Deng Huan’s heart was beating rapidly as he already fell in love with Chang Miao since months ago. He figured this was a chance to show off his skill.
“Haha… Chang Miao, why don’t our two groups work together instead? My group already earn 9 points in such a short time. I can even give you some pointers n how to find it.”
“Ehhh… Only nine? Don’t you think it’s a little too low…”
It was Guan Ru Na who replied. She and Guan Ru Yi knew that Young Lady Min doesn’t like it if Deng Huan gets too close with her. Sometimes there’s no choice but to accept his offer, especially when in a pinch. However, with their current progress, there’s no need to work with Deng Huan.
“Too low?” Deng Huan creased his eyebrow.
“We have 18 points.” said Guan Ru Yi as she flashed the keys before him, “If we join forces, your team will only be a burden for us.”
[Chang Miao’s team actually have twice the points that we have!?]
Deng Huan was a bit in a shock. Then, he quickly calmed himself down and calmly praised the girls, “As expected, I can’t believe you three girls have such excellent tracking and detection skills.”
“It’s not us, the three of us only found a total of eight points. But, Fei Bao Xing earns ten points by himself.” Chang Miao said. As much as the girls like to be praised, they were not comfortable in taking the credit of someone else.
“Wha… Fei Bao Xing…” This time, Deng Huan was truly surprised.
“Well, then… We won’t bother you anymore.” The girls said as they walked away from Deng Huan.
“Ahh…” Deng Huan was unable to find the right words to stop them. As he looked at the three girls left his heartbeat rapidly because of anger.
“Impossible… That guy actually able to find a red key…” Deng Huan furiously said.
“Ughhh… If that guy exists, then boss won’t be able to claim Chang Miao. Boss, how about we follow them, and then you know…” said one of the lackeys.
“I’m listening…”
“Let that Fei Bao Xing guy finds all the key. When the time is right, we stole it from them. With all their keys in our hands, the girls have no choice but to do whatever we say.”
Deng Huan, “…”
