Yin Molan put Hu Xiaoji on the bed and covered her with a blanket.
Ning Tao whispered, "All of you go outside and wait for me. I would like to talk to her alone."
Jiang Hao, Bai Jing and Yin Molan, together with the Howling Celestial Dog, left Hu Xiaoji's room. The last who left was Bai Jing, who was closing the room door. But just before the door was shut, she poked out her head and mimed to Ning Tao the words, "You owe me a favor. How are you going to repay me?"
Ning Tao turned his head away, pretending not to have seen.
Bai Jing spat out a long tongue from her mouth, trembling nimbly, even faster than an insect's wings. But no one knew what she meant by such an action.
Bai Jing closed the door.
Ning Tao shifted his eyes to Hu Xiaoji's face. She was sleeping very soundly. He reached out and touched her forehead, injecting a whiff of spiritual power into it. Her eyelids trembled and she soon opened her ey
Enshrouded in darkness, cold winds fluttered wildly along with the snowflakes. The contours of Holy Mountain in the distance could still be discerned, towering into the clouds. This place was prohibited to humans, yet many wanted to subdue it.Four people and a dog appeared on the slope of a mountain, gazing down at Tingri's camp at the base.They were Ning Tao, Jiang Hao, Qing Zhui and Bai Jing. Yin Molan had wanted to come, but he was needed to protect Hu Xiaoji and had to stay at home.Jiang Hao raised her sniper rifle, using its Advanced Combat Optical Gunsight with night vision to observe the situation at Tingri's camp.This sniper rifle was a new technological magic tool from that sniper Qing Zhui killed. Qing Zhui had given it to Jiang Hao since she did not like using rifles, but Jiang Hao did and was very adept at it. In other words, Qing Zhui was giving a heroine a treasured weapon.Jiang Hao had given this sn
Crack!A bloody light flashed. A hand dropped to the ground.But it was neither Ning Tao's hand nor the Howling Celestial Dog's canine paw. It was Gongga's, grasping a Tibetan saber."Ah—" Gongga shrieked. He pinched his right wrist tightly with his remaining left hand. He was trying to stanch the bleeding in his severed wrist, but blood still kept gushing out.Tashi Dorje suddenly flipped over. He threw the Tibetan saber he had just pulled out onto the ground, then dropped to his knees.Ning Tao shifted his sight to the tent curtain which had been rented into two by the force. His one hand was fondling the Howling Celestial Dog's head, keeping it from acting recklessly.A woman was leading a white-haired old man into the tent. There was a translucent flute in her hand. The old man was carrying an antique erhu.Sun Pingchuan and Sun Lanxiang had arrived.Gongga did not even bother
A gunshot.A refined bullet was fired from the muzzle. Almost instantaneously, a gunshot rang out. The magic erhu in Sun Pingchuan's hands immediately exploded into smithereens!In that instant when his erhu, a magic tool, splintered, Sun Pingchuan had dodged. In that instant, a bullet shaved his thigh, hitting the ground. The ground trembled a little. There was no sound of an explosion, but a spiraling hole the size of a basin suddenly appeared there!Sun Pingchuan's face had turned completely pale. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. If he had not blocked this blow using his erhu and dodged, the lower half of his body would have been gone!"How dare you—" Sun Lanxiang bellowed furiously. She raised the flute in her hand to her lips and was about to blow.Before she could blow the flute, the black muzzle of a pistol was already pointing at her head.Ning Tao said, "Go on, blow it. Do it quickly. I'm sur
The wind coupled with snowflakes blew across the mountain slope. The cracks in the boulders gave off mournful sounds, as if feeling frustration at a righteous girl falling into the hands of a despicable crook, weeping plaintively."If you have the guts, let me go. We will fight each other fairly!" Sun Lanxiang growled angrily.Thump!Ning Tao kneed Sun Lanxiang on her butt, without showing the least bit of compassion for her gender.Sun Lanxiang was so shamed that she cried, "I'm gonna kill you!"Ning Tao frowned. "Can't you just shut up?"Sun Lanxiang cursed, "Release me, you despicable rogue!"Ning Tao stopped walking and glanced back at the Howling Celestial Dog. "Celestial Howling, did anyone pursue us?"The Howling Celestial Dog replied, "No. I have been monitoring the situation all this while."Ning Tao instructed, "Continue monitoring. If anything happens, repo
The blizzard had stopped. A setting sun appeared on the westerly horizon, fiery like fire. The sky was being engulfed by darkness, turning murky blue. Stars sparkled in the same sky, the view majestic and mysterious.If a heavenly realm really existed in this universe, where would it be?Ning Tao sat on a rock, gazing at a star in the depths of the heavens. His imagination was fired by an endless train of thoughts. When he took over Sky Clinic, he was just hoping to survive. Right now, he had a further goal. He wanted to visit the heavenly realm and see that world, even roaming in it.The Howling Celestial Dog was crouching by Ning Tao's side, pricking its ears to listen to all sounds within the radius of several thousand meters. It stared in the direction of Nepal, appearing very focused. This was because Dad had said men from the Black Fire Company might cross the Nepalese border to do the transaction."Celestial Howling, do you
The white mercenary paused in his tracks. While chewing on gum, he walked towards Ning Tao. He was two meters tall, about a head taller than Ning Tao. He was almost twice the size of Ning Tao, so it felt like he was looking down at him, accompanied by an inexplicable sense of white superiority.Ning Tao handed the elixir prescription to the white mercenary, while speaking on his phone, "I've already given it to your people. Release the hostage.""Release him," Lin Qinghua spoke.Ning Tao said to the white mercenary, "Go back.""Ptooey," the white mercenary spat out the gum in his mouth and it got stuck on Ning Tao's shoe.Ning Tao looked down at the piece of gum stuck on his shoe then looked back up at the white mercenary.The white mercenary raised a thumb at Ning Tao then twisted his wrist, twisting his thumb around.Ning Tao stared at him expressionlessly, completely indifferent to this tau
Qing Zhui asked concernedly, "Brother Ning, are you hurt?"Ning Tao glanced at his leg that had been wounded by the sword. The fabric around the wound was slightly torn and some blood had soaked through. He suddenly made a shocking realization. The flying sword was no doubt the strongest magic tool in the world. Even the Sun Chaser Gun was unable to break the structure of the Heavenly Gem Magic Garment, yet that woman's flying sword was able to. Even though it was only a small hole, it had still managed to break through.However, in order to prevent Qing Zhui from getting worried, Ning Tao still pretended that everything was okay. "It's okay, it's just a minor injury. Let's go."Yet, Bai Jing reached out to touch Ning Tao's thigh. "It's already bleeding yet you're saying it's a minor injury. Remove your garment when we're back, let me fix it for you."Qing Zhui said, "Sister, this is the Heavenly Gem Magic Garment. There's no way y
Ge Ming opened his eyes slowly. He saw light and above him was a familiar face. The face was against the light source, it was somewhat blurry, yet it felt so familiar and intimate. He opened his mouth, making a weak voice, "You...""Please don't tell me you don't recognize me anymore?" Ning Tao said as he attended to Ge Ming's wounds.Ge Ming had suffered some torture but was not fatally injured, thus he did not require treatment from the clinic. Ning Tao was able to treat Ge Ming himself. This was the most fortunate outcome of all the misfortunes which had happened. He had already lost his younger sister Su Ya. If his childhood friend Ge Ming were to forget him, he would not be able to accept it."Tao, why am I here?" Ge Ming had fully regained his consciousness. He struggled to get up and when he moved, his wounds would be pulled, so he lied back down, panting heavily in pain.Ning Tao injected a Sacred Needle into Ge Ming's ches
