Chapter 260: A New Spirit Wisdom Level Puppet (5000-word chapter, seeking monthly votes!)
Such an answer immediately gave Sun Lingtong the most direct understanding of her.
Sun Lingtong nodded repeatedly: "You calculated very correctly. Truly great!"
"We need to inspect the goods in all the warehouses now; if there are defective products, we will collect them for further repair. Can you clear the way?"
The mechanical puppet Ru Die Niang shook her head slightly: "You two are very strange. Even if you are our own people, do you need to stay invisible the whole time?"
"I have been here for many years and have never encountered inspectors like you two."
"You aren't lying to me, are you?"
Sun Lingtong chuckled: "How could that be? Children don't lie to children; if you don't believe me, let's pinky swear!"
Yang Chanyu:??
Ru Die Niang tilted her head, looked at him carefully, and then... extended her little finger.
Yang Chanyu:?!
The two pinky swore, and Sun Lingtong guaranteed to her that his identity was real.
Ru Die Niang expressed her agreement.
Then, she let the two in.
Yang Chanyu fell into silence. She didn't understand this kind of mechanical creation with spirit wisdom, but Sun Lingtong knew the ins and outs of this kind of mechanism from his time spent with the Golden Blood War Ape, Dasheng.
Although they had spirit wisdom, they didn't have much, and they were stubborn about certain aspects.
This warehouse space was quite narrow, clearly different from the previous warehouses.
After Sun Lingtong scanned the area, he transmitted his voice to Yang Chanyu, his expression very excited: "Right, this is exactly what we are looking for!"
Sun Lingtong took the lead, walking to the shelf.
He reached out, took out a jar of tea leaves, and without needing to open the lid, just by sniffing around the jar, he felt extremely refreshed, as if walking on the clouds, with a feeling of being light and ethereal.
"This is special-grade Cloud Tea, good stuff, truly good stuff; just by sniffing it, one has such a wonderful feeling."
"No wonder some people can comprehend the laws of the Cloud Dao after drinking it!"
Sun Lingtong coughed and said to Ru Die Niang: "Alas, the taste of this tea is wrong; let's collect it first and take it out to dry; perhaps it will be better."
Ru Die Niang nodded and followed by his side.
Yang Chanyu stared closely at the Myriad Image Cloud Seeds on the shelf.
"Being able to be specially placed here and displayed separately, these varieties are very unusual."
Yang Chanyu, filled with anticipation and curiosity, collected all the Myriad Image Cloud Seeds as well.
She saw Ru Die Niang staring at her with big eyes.
She coughed and said that the Myriad Image Cloud Seeds looked a bit yellow and needed to be checked for sickness.
Ru Die Niang said "oh" and nodded.
Seeing her so easy to deceive, Yang Chanyu couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt.
Sun Lingtong opened a small jade bottle on his own.
He pulled out the stopper, looked inside with his big eyes, and saw three dew-like existences.
"Benevolent Water, it is indeed 'the highest good is like water,' a supreme treasure of water virtue. Finally found it!" He was very excited inside.
Ever since Sun Lingtong heard of Unlike Ning Zhuo's plan, he had wanted to steal the Benevolent Water for Unlike Ning Zhuo, and now he had finally achieved his wish.
The two stole wildly, sweeping the warehouse clean.
The mechanical puppet had been following them, and seeing this scene, she asked blankly: "Are there problems with these goods? How come I can't see it?"
Sun Lingtong rolled his eyes, turned around, looked her up and down, and said: "Not only are there problems with these goods, you have problems too; come with us for a trip."
"Ah?" Ru Die Niang was stunned.
Sun Lingtong's mind was agile, and in the process of stealing, he had many guesses about Ru Die Niang's identity.
Although Ru Die Niang had spirit wisdom, she was easy to deceive and had no means to check his and Yang Chanyu's identities at all. Therefore, Sun Lingtong guessed that she was actually one of the goods here, prepared to be sold at the auction!
Sun Lingtong then said: "Have you forgotten that we are the inspectors?"
"Isn't it normal to be able to see your problems?"
Ru Die Niang pinched the corner of her skirt, lowered her head, and asked uneasily: "Then may I ask, what, what problem do I have?"
Sun Lingtong asked back: "You can't even see that there are problems with these goods; don't you have problems with your eyes?"
Ru Die Niang was stunned for a moment; she reached out, touched her own eyes, and then said: "What you said makes quite a lot of sense."
Yang Chanyu:...
She just watched Sun Lingtong perform, fooling this mechanical puppet in circles.
From the outside, Ru Die Niang was extremely beautiful!
She was overall humanoid, with a small figure, about three feet tall, exquisite and graceful, like a young girl in her early teens.
Her face was as beautiful as a painting, her eyes clear, and her gaze quite gentle.
On her head, she wore a butterfly-shaped silver crown, adorned with fine pearls and jade, light and elegant.
Behind her, a pair of wings extended, like a colorful butterfly; the edges of the colorful butterfly were thick and black, giving a sense of toughness.
Under the sunlight, the butterfly wings would flicker with colorful rainbow light, and a gentle flap could stir up waves of wind.
She also wore a plain gauze long dress, with a wish-fulfilling jade belt tied around her waist.
In her hand was a small jade bottle, the jade bottle carved with delicate patterns, and there was a milky fragrance at the mouth of the bottle.
Ru Die Niang's appearance was excellent; even Yang Chanyu, who was a woman, felt her heart flutter upon seeing her.
Sun Lingtong had long taken a fancy to this spirit wisdom-level mechanical puppet, thinking that if he got it for his little brother, he would definitely like it very much!
At the same time, fooling such a mechanism was also a novel experience in his thieving career, which he found quite interesting and stimulating.
Therefore, he continued: "Ru Die Niang, go to sleep quickly; I will put you in the bracelet, take you out, and repair you properly."
Ru Die Niang stared blankly at Sun Lingtong and Yang Chanyu, asking in a soft, sweet voice: "Are you really going to take me away?"
Sun Lingtong stared with his big eyes, full of innocence: "Of course. This is our duty; it's your good luck to run into us."
"Don't worry! After taking you out, we will definitely fix your eyes."
Ru Die Niang nodded: "Then I really thank you so much; you are a good person!"
Sun Lingtong chuckled and couldn't help but look up at Yang Chanyu.
Seeing his smug look, Yang Chanyu couldn't help but roll her eyes, feeling speechless. But she had to admire Sun Lingtong's methods.
But the next moment, Ru Die Niang's expression changed abruptly, becoming extremely serious. Blue divine light burst from her eyes, and her voice became cold.
"Since you want to take me away, then please state the secret password!"
Sun Lingtong widened his eyes slightly, not expecting this, feeling very shocked.
Ru Die Niang's gaze locked onto him, and she continued: "Since you want to take me away and are inspectors, you must know the secret password."
"Now please say it!"
"Hehehe," Yang Chanyu at the side couldn't help laughing seeing Sun Lingtong get stumped.
Ru Die Niang urged him: "Say it, please say it immediately. Otherwise, you are a big liar, a bad person, and bad people must be punished!"
Speaking of this, the butterfly wings behind Ru Die Niang flashed slightly.
These seven-colored radiances spread rapidly, covering the entire warehouse space and transforming it.
In an instant, Sun Lingtong and Yang Chanyu felt as if they were placed among countless colorful glass shards.
The edges of these shards all flashed with seven-colored luster.
"What kind of move is this?!" Yang Chanyu's expression changed, secretly shocked.
She had been "deceived" by Ru Die Niang.
Yang Chanyu had long secretly detected Ru Die Niang and found that her main materials were all Foundation Establishment level, so she didn't take her too seriously.
As a result, at this moment, she suddenly released a quasi-Golden Core level spell, and this spell was released instantly, with no signs of brewing at all.
This greatly exceeded Yang Chanyu's expectations, making her extremely vigilant.
"Things are becoming a bit bad!" Yang Chanyu had a new discovery during this observation.
The butterfly wings behind Ru Die Niang were quite extraordinary, with array patterns layered on the surface; they hadn't been activated before, so they couldn't be seen. Now that the ability was activated, the array patterns were visible to the naked eye, leaving Yang Chanyu shocked.
How excellent must the mechanical art be to allow a pile of Foundation Establishment level materials to combine and burst out with quasi-Golden Core level power?
Yang Chanyu looked at Sun Lingtong, signaling him with her gaze to secretly agree to attack Ru Die Niang together.
Sun Lingtong waved his hand at Yang Chanyu.
His expression was also a bit pale, knowing he had played a bit too much.
They couldn't start a war inside the Cloud Whale; once the Cloud Whale was alarmed, their fate would be very precarious; after all, the Cloud Whale was a Nascent Soul level life form.
Sun Lingtong's heart pounded, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He licked his dry lips and continued his performance: "The secret password, is it? Of course I know it; don't worry."
"But the problem is, which password do you want?"
Ru Die Niang looked stunned: "What do you mean? I only have one secret password."
Sun Lingtong shrugged and spread his hands: "For you, of course there is only one secret password."
"But we are not."
"We know too many secret passwords; after all, we are inspectors, and when we encounter situations similar to yours, we have to use secret passwords."
"It is precisely because we know too many that we have forgotten which one you need here."
Ru Die Niang was stunned.
Sun Lingtong continued: "So can you tell me some of the content of the secret password? I need some reminders."
Yang Chanyu:...
Ru Die Niang's expression changed, and she pondered: "What you said is indeed very reasonable."
"Then I will tell you."
"The content of the secret password is, Little Cloud flies, Little Cloud flies... wait, wait a moment!"
"If I tell you the content of the password directly, isn't that leaking the password directly to you?"
She finally reacted, staring with big eyes, glaring at Sun Lingtong angrily.
Her momentum climbed continuously, and it looked like she was about to strike.
Sun Lingtong waved his hand hurriedly: "Wait a moment, don't be in such a hurry to strike! I just asked you to remind me, I didn't say to tell me the content of the secret password directly."
Ru Die Niang interrupted: "But you clearly just..."
Sun Lingtong also interrupted her: "What I just said might not have been clear, and you also understood it wrong."
"But none of this matters, right?"
"Look, I'm a child; isn't it normal for me not to speak clearly?"
"You just need to give me some hints, isn't that enough?"
"I didn't make a request for you to say the full content of the secret password."
Ru Die Niang tilted her head, staring at Sun Lingtong, looking him up and down continuously.
Sun Lingtong stared with his watery big eyes, looking at her with extreme innocence.
She was moved again, thinking that such a child couldn't be treacherous.
But after thinking for a long time, she said: "Um... I still doubt you a little, but I am willing to give you one last chance."
"The hint I give you is that the secret password is a nursery rhyme."
Sun Lingtong said "ah": "A nursery rhyme..."
"It really won't work; don't waste any more time, Sun Lingtong, strike with me!" Yang Chanyu transmitted her voice secretly.
Sun Lingtong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he waved his hand at Yang Chanyu.
"I thought of it."
"Thank you for the reminder; I know what your secret password is."
"Just listen to me sing."
The next moment, Sun Lingtong cleared his throat and began to chant in a low voice.
Little Cloud flies, Little Cloud flies,
Flying over mountains and verdant hills.
The stream murmurs around the big tree,
Sunlight sprinkles over the green grass pile.
Little Cloud flies, the wind chases,
Flying over rivers and starlight.
The sky is high and the earth is far, so splendid,
Clouds roll and clouds relax, letting the wind blow.
Little Cloud flies, the heart is tired,
Flying over the rainbow and the rosy cape.
The rosy light in the sky gradually fades,
The moon shadow quietly reflects the dark sky.
Little Cloud flies, the dream returns,
Flying over longing and sorrow.
Mother leads you home in a dream,
Returning to the hometown to sleep peacefully.
Ru Die Niang's expression softened, and she bowed deeply to Sun Lingtong: "It was I who wronged you. Please take me out."
"Easy, easy," Sun Lingtong laughed.
The next moment, Ru Die Niang closed her eyes and truly went to sleep.
Sun Lingtong decisively stuffed her into the storage bracelet.
At this moment, Yang Chanyu looked at him with newfound respect!
Before this trip, she fully expected herself to be the main force. She didn't expect Sun Lingtong's performance along the way to repeatedly exceed her expectations.
Yang Chanyu was full of doubts and asked directly: "How do you know this nursery rhyme?"
Sun Lingtong chuckled: "This is the most widely circulated nursery rhyme in the Flying Cloud Kingdom, and it is often used as a lullaby for mothers to coax their children to sleep."
Yang Chanyu pressed: "How do you know?"
"Read ten thousand books, travel ten thousand miles. Many things cannot be obtained just by reading." Sun Lingtong chuckled, but his gaze was dazed for a moment.
Two or three-year-old Unlike Ning Zhuo was curled up in the quilt, crying woo-woo.
Sun Lingtong came to the bedside, curiously asking, why are you crying? Why aren't you asleep yet?
Little Unlike Ning Zhuo poked his big head out of the quilt: "I, I miss my mother."
Sun Lingtong felt his head grow big too. He wanted to say some comforting words, but he stuttered and couldn't say them well.
Little Unlike Ning Zhuo became sadder as he spoke, tears flowing down: "I, I can't sleep. Whenever I can't sleep, my mother sings to me. Can you sing for me?"
Sun Lingtong's mouth twitched, thinking: "I am a dignified evil sect cultivator, how could I do... uh."
He was defeated by Little Unlike Ning Zhuo's eager, longing eyes.
"Alright, alright. What song do you want me to sing? I don't know how to..."
"It's okay, I can teach you. Little Cloud flies, Little Cloud flies..."
Sun Lingtong sighed deeply: "Alright, I'll only sing it once. You must go to sleep quickly, do you understand?"
Little Unlike Ning Zhuo curled up in the quilt and nodded weakly.
Sun Lingtong sat by the bed, his legs hanging down naturally, turning slightly, suppressing a sense of shame, and sang in a low voice: "Little Cloud flies, Little Cloud flies..."
"Sunlight sprinkles over the green grass pile..."
Little Unlike Ning Zhuo suddenly interrupted: "You sang it wrong, it's grass pile, not grass hang."
"Oh, oh. I'll sing it again... what was the beginning?"
After many pauses and many corrections, he finally finished singing stumblingly.
Sun Lingtong was covered in sweat.
"Why aren't you asleep yet?" He looked at Little Unlike Ning Zhuo's pair of bright eyes and felt something was wrong.
Little Unlike Ning Zhuo frowned, very troubled: "When my mother sang it, it wasn't like this. She was very smooth, her voice was very light, and very gentle. You singing like this makes me even less able to sleep."
Sun Lingtong: "Then I'll sing it again."
? ¢o
Inside the Cloud Whale.
Yang Chanyu's voice pulled Sun Lingtong's mind back to reality.
She wasn't so easy to fool and asked strangely: "Read ten thousand books, travel ten thousand miles, this principle is indeed correct."
"But aren't you a bit too familiar with this nursery rhyme?"
"Even if you heard it from hearsay, it's impossible to remember it so accurately and so smoothly, right?"
"I always feel like you've sung it many times..."
Sun Lingtong's mouth twitched: "How is that possible?!"
"Let's not talk about this."
"The things are in hand, let's proceed to the next step quickly!"
A few days later.
Top of Fire Persimmon Mountain.
Unlike Ning Zhuo and others gathered here.
Zhu Xuanji and others stood guard on the side.
This group of people had all cast spells to conceal their tracks.
Subsequently, Meng Kui personally took action, bombarding and killing the monsters besieging the Molten Xian Gong, attracting them to attack and pulling gaps in their formation.
"It's now!" Zhu Xuanji and others brought Unlike Ning Zhuo's group to successfully approach the Molten Xian Gong.
After reaching a certain distance, the Molten Xian Gong burst out with rays of treasure light, absorbing everyone into the palace.
The treasure light defense was astonishing; even if the monsters noticed and attacked, it was of no avail.
"Entering the Xian Gong... finally in!" Unlike Ning Zhuo's plan was achieved. This action by Zhu Xuanji and others did not exceed his expectations.
"Unlike Ning Zhuo, Unlike Ning Zhuo, he finally came." The Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit was overjoyed. During this period, Ning Xiaohui had made outstanding progress, her contribution gradually approaching the success standard, and she was about to join the History Pavilion.
"Little Zhuo is here; I need to find an opportunity to secretly hand the Benevolent Water to him." Sun Lingtong had sneaked into the Xian Gong a day ago with Yang Chanyu's help.
It had to be said that the Empty Gate's skill in concealment was indeed peerless.
The movement of Unlike Ning Zhuo and others entering the palace was quite large, attracting the attention of the cultivators who were already guarding the Xian Gong.
Ning Xiaohui led the Ning family cultivators to take the initiative to welcome them.
Her eyes flickered, and her mood was somewhat complex: "Even if you enter the Xian Gong, you won't catch up to my achievements! Here, I am the leader, and you are all chasers!"
She scanned the crowd, her gaze pausing on Unlike Ning Zhuo. ===== CHAPTER 261 =====
