Chapter 226: Bing's Good Luck Strikes Again!

A lone figure aimlessly walked through the Endless Plains of Yin. His eyes darted from side to side as if he was terrified of something suddenly showing up in front of him. But with his new "friend", there wasn't much that scared him inside this ghastly place. Unfortunately, his friend was nothing more than just a tyrannical leech that sucked him dry every time his vitality was restored.

  As a man, how could Bing allowed himself to be played to death by such a vicious woman? But reality proved that a woman who knew the value of her own body and the desires of a young man would always have the advantage in a faceoff between the two. It also helped that the woman wasn't weaker than the young man but much stronger and the fact that their lives were somewhat intertwined now. Lin Jiajia tried making a deal with the fatty.

"If you allow me to gorge myself on your blood and qi, I'll fulfill three requests of yours when I reach the next cultivation realm." Lin was somewhat forced into making this deal.

  The delicious fatty was able to resist her attempts to drain his blood and qi quite easily. Despite his looks, he really was more capable than he looked. Not to mention stubborn as well. He quickly realized that he didn't benefit at all from allowing her to grow from him, he only felt drained, weakened, and used as a fool. When he found that out, he put a stop to her attempts immediately.

"Any three requests?" Bing's mind raced as he looked up to the incredibly tall, beautiful, and sensual ghostly princess.

"..." Lin's pupil-less eyes stared deeply into Bing's perverted blue eyes. She felt like ripping him apart for the thoughts she knew were floating around in his head.

  When has she ever been treated in such a way before? Men would do everything they could just to fulfill a single request of hers. She didn't have to promise them anything or suffer being looked at like a piece of meat! But now because of this tasty fool, she had to consider being taken advantage of even in the afterlife! How ridiculous. Like hell, she would ever allow this fatty to use her as his plaything.

"Any three requests?" Bing repeated his question to the big woman.

"Forget it!" Lin Jiajia just couldn't go through with the deal after realizing the virgin's true nature.

  As a princess, there was almost no humiliation greater than being used as a sex toy by a man to her. She held no interest in this fatty besides his blood, qi, and sometimes manly demeanor. If he acted like how he did when he placed both their lives on the line regularly, maybe she would be more interested in being pursued by this fatty. Maybe she would've accepted his three requests.

  What princess didn't want her prince to have the courage of lions, the might of dragons, and the wisdom of a turtle? Less than perfection wasn't something that royalty like her could accept and Bing was full of imperfections. Perhaps in a hundred years or so, he'll mature into a man she could consider treating as an equal. By then, he should surely get out of this boyish phase of his where he couldn't control himself from having lecherous thoughts at every second. Jiajia could feel the boy's eyes wandering over her body every time he came to this secret realm of his. No part of her was safe from his perverted gaze and made her want to tear him to pieces and gouge out his eyes.

"Hey, do you know if this thing can still capture ghosts even though it's kind of broken?" Bing asked her, dangling his cracked amulet.

'How should I know? I didn't make it.' Jiajia answered.

"I guess I'll have to find out myself." Bing wandered over to a lone floating spirit in the distance.

  Ever since Jiajia merged with his shadow, Bing could see ghosts now. It was a bit startling at first. Bing even ran away in fright after encountering the first ghost he saw. It wasn't until some rude words of encouragement from Jiajia that Bing was able to gain some courage against the undead spirits inside the Endless Plains of Yin. Now that Bing realized the weakness of the ghosts inside the forest, he treated them the same as he would regular spirit beasts. Just spirit beasts that could talk.

  Bing grabbed the lone spirit by the neck with a strong grip. The spirit cried out in fright as Bing placed his cracked amulet on the spirit's body. The ghost couldn't resist being sucked into the amulet. Seeing this caused Bing to smile, it looked like he wasn't going to fail at this portion of the test after all. With Jiajia as his shadow, he didn't have to worry about ghosts possessing him and he could see ghosts too!

  Bing traveled throughout the foggy forest with much more confidence in himself now. With Yin of Destruction and Yang of Creation, it was almost as if this place was his playground to do as he pleased. Ghosts were captured inside his amulet regardless if they wanted to or not. And since all the ghosts in the Endless Plains of Yin seemed to be attracted to his body, Bing managed to capture quite a lot of ghosts.

  Eventually, Bing came across a large group of disciples from his sect. Relief filled his body as he finally saw signs of humans once again. It felt like it's been weeks since he'd last seen a living breathing person as he traveled through this cursed land of ghosts. But the relief he felt at seeing humans again wasn't anywhere close to the relief he felt seeing a familiar figure on the outer edge of the disciples.

  Bright orange hair, a big mass of steel on her back that was taller than herself, and a voice loud enough that he could hear it even from this far away. Bing couldn't be happier to see Ying again! He's been traveling for two whole days with only tasteless pills to fill him up for food. Cake! Warmth! Companionship! A void world filled with something besides disgusting grass and a mean ghost! Ying, Ying, Ying!

  Bing couldn't control himself as he hugged Ying from behind and lifted her in the air.

"Ying! You don't know how happy I am to see you again!" Bing gently swung Ying left and right as he held in her the air.

"I've been suffering so much without you guys. I couldn't find you or even message you with the special talisman! Haha! I really am lucky to find you again!" Bing released all his joy for Ying to take in without any special preparations.

  At first, Ying believed she was being attacked by someone. She was about to erupt her body into flames to burn the fool alive for daring to attack her. But then something didn't add up to her. Hao Gang would've surely warned her if someone was about to attack her. That meant Hao Gang recognized whoever this person is and willingly let them grab her. Then Ying heard the voice of the person who grabbed her.

  Ying wasn't prepared in the slightest for such an ambush by the boy she had a crush on. While she has spent days worrying for his safety, wondering where the hell he was, if he was safe or not if he was thinking about her, and more. This reunion was simultaneously the best kind of reunion she could've expected and the worst. Right now, she could feel her face was so red, she could be mistaken for a human-shaped cherry.

  Being held up in Bing's strong and warm embrace from behind was something she dreamed up, experiencing it in real life was another matter altogether. She loved every second of it and didn't ask him to release her or hit him. When would she get another chance to be this physically intimate with the boy she liked a lot? Ying sure as hell wasn't going to do something as embarrassing as that until they were officially dating. By that point, it was going to be difficult for her to separate herself from him even if he wanted her to. Once he accepted her confession, it was going to be the start of a whole new Ying!

  So, it took half a minute before Bing's euphoria wore off. He embarrassingly and gently placed Ying back on the ground before sheepishly rubbing the back of his head. Bing bowed his head and apologized for his actions. Ying balled up her fist and using a majority of her strength, punched the back of his head and buried him into the ground.

"You scared the shit out of me, idiot!" Ying shouted with a harrumph afterward.

  Bing's body impacted the ground with enough force to send dust flying upward and blinding most of the disciples nearby. Bing admitted that he did deserve that but man was Ying really strong... Even when he was stabbed by Jiajia, it didn't hurt nearly as much as her punch for some reason. But regardless, Bing was still really happy to see Ying again.

  Bing bounced back up with a stupid smile on his face as he looked at Ying. Ying couldn't help but click her tongue at this cute fat idiot. She had to turn her body to hide the embarrassment on her face. Soon, Bing realized that there was someone else with her too. He politely greeted Jie who politely greeted him back. Their relationship wasn't that close and they've barely talked to one another.

  Jie was a little bit envious of Ying after seeing her and Bing's reunion. She knew Hu Tao would never react the same way towards her even if he was trapped in a cave for 1,000 years. Maybe if she was Jing, he would. With a depressing internal sigh, Jie couldn't wait for the end of this tournament. Jing would help her become strong enough to become a woman that Hu Tao could love.

"What happened to you after we all got split up?" Ying asked him with her back turned.

"Before I tell you that long story, do you have anything to eat?" Bing shyly asked.

"Which cake do you want?" Ying was waiting for him to ask this.

"Cleansing Physique Cake, Breath Purifying Cake, and a Heart-Clearing Cake please." Bing requested.

  Ying went into her storage ring and took out the cakes he requested before giving them to him one by one. If everyone in the crowd wasn't staring at the group before, they certainly were now when they smelled the aroma coming from the cakes. The girl with the big sword had food and probably a lot of it inside her storage ring! Eyes of greed and malicious intent soon focused on Ying who was too busy staring at Bing who looked like he just received the greatest present in the world from her. Only Jie and Hao Gang were aware of the eyes focusing on their group. But it didn't take long for Bing to notice the eyes greedily trying to devour his cakes.

  An impressive heavy aura spread from his body into the crowd. While those in the Qi Gathering stage averted their gaze, those above it weren't scared of a 9th stage Qi Gatherer like Bing. Even if his aura was particularly weighty. He was willing to fight life and death with everyone here to protect Ying and her cakes for himself. Two days of eating nothing but tasteless pills changes a man and teaches him to appreciate the good things in life while he can.
