Chapter 391

This could not allow Hua Guzi to continue eating!

Unlike Ning Zhuo controlled the mechanical limbs, all of which shot over, launching another powerful offensive.

Hua Guzi's spiritual sea was in turmoil, making it difficult to control Wood Element spells to clash, so she tried her best to cast a Fragrant Flower Lost Track spell.

The mechanical limbs missed, but soon caught up with Hua Guzi again.

Hua Guzi screamed: "Little girl, I also know a little bit about fists and kicks!"

She really only knew a little bit.

Bang, bang, bang!

Ah, ah, ah!

The spectators saw twenty mechanical limbs surrounding a young girl, beating her continuously.

The fists and kicks were like a storm, causing Hua Guzi to scream repeatedly.

Finally, Unlike Ning Zhuo took the initiative to stop.

Hua Guzi had been beaten until her face was bruised and swollen, her entire head a size larger, resembling a pig's head.

Her eyes were swollen until only a slit remained, and she stretched out her bruised fingers, trembling as she pointed at Unlike Ning Zhuo.

Unlike Ning Zhuo smiled slightly and used the mechanical limbs to handle her, lifting her out of the martial arts arena.

The relevant cultivator immediately announced loudly that the winner of this match was Unlike Ning Zhuo.

Unlike Ning Zhuo wore a smile, bowed to the surrounding audience to thank them, and then walked to Hua Guzi's front, casting a healing spell for her in public.

After a dozen breaths, Hua Guzi regained her old appearance, but her hands and feet were icy cold, and she was shivering.

Unlike Ning Zhuo took out another cup of Warm Autumn Wine and handed it to Hua Guzi.

Hua Guzi's pupils shrank; she realized this was actually Golden Core-grade medicinal wine. But she forced herself to hold on, her teeth chattering: "No, I don't want it. Little girl, I..."

Unlike Ning Zhuo raised his eyebrows slightly.

He snorted coldly, leaned forward directly, pinched Hua Guzi's delicate cheeks, and applied slight force, forcing her to open her cherry mouth.

Then, he roughly and forcefully poured the Warm Autumn Wine from the cup directly into Hua Guzi's mouth.

Hua Guzi's body and mind were shaken, caught off guard by Unlike Ning Zhuo's such forceful posture.

Subconsciously, her throat rolled, and she swallowed the Warm Autumn Wine.

"Cultivate, digest." The next moment, Unlike Ning Zhuo's indifferent command came down.

Hua Guzi's body and mind were shaken again, and she gave a sudden start; for some reason, she actually cooperated with Unlike Ning Zhuo's words, sat down on the spot, and began to cultivate to heal her injuries.

Unlike Ning Zhuo couldn't help but feel surprised.

He had not planted a Life-Hanging Thread in Hua Guzi; generally speaking, in public, he would not do this to prevent anyone from seeing the Life-Hanging Thread.

Without the communication of the Life-Hanging Thread, Unlike Ning Zhuo could not sense Hua Guzi's inner emotions through the My Buddha Heart Demon Seal.

He didn't expect Hua Guzi to be so obedient and cooperative!

"This female cultivator just refused to admit defeat to the death, but now she can bend and stretch; it's a bit strange." Unlike Ning Zhuo muttered in his heart.

After all, he was only sixteen years old; even though he had been trying to understand human nature for fourteen years, he had never encountered this type of Hua Guzi.

Won!

This battle between Unlike Ning Zhuo and Hua Guzi could be considered a big win.

Through this battle, he intimidated the cultivators on the Small Contention Peak; even the likes of Lai Wuying and Zheng Xingchen acknowledged Unlike Ning Zhuo's combat power.

In this battle, Unlike Ning Zhuo confirmed the positioning of his Wood Element combat power and also verified the power of the mechanical limbs in actual combat.

Finally, he took the initiative to treat Hua Guzi, not hesitating to use Golden Core-grade medicinal wine, which earned him a wave of good reputation.

Even if some people slandered him for putting on an act, using Golden Core-grade materials was definitely a huge investment! It was hard for people to criticize that.

For a time, the Small Contention Peak was filled with discussions surrounding Unlike Ning Zhuo.

"I didn't expect Young Master Unlike Ning Zhuo's mechanism arts to be even more powerful than his Five Elements spells."

"Truly a heaven-sent genius."

"At first glance, he seemed ordinary, but I didn't expect him to have such inner talent."

"If I were Unlike Ning Zhuo, I would have wanted to use mechanism arts in the first battle to crush everyone. But he kept it hidden; it's not very straightforward."

"What do you mean by keeping it hidden? This is called being low-key, this is called humility. This is the demeanor of a disciple from a cultivation family."

With solid combat achievements laid out there, a large number of cultivators began to boast for Unlike Ning Zhuo.

"Hmph, these family disciples could clearly rely on their families to live, yet they come to the Ten Thousand Medicine Gate to beg for food with us loose cultivators."

"That's not right, at least it's not appropriate to say that about Young Master Unlike Ning Zhuo. Haven't you heard? This is just one stop on his travels; when the time is right, he will leave."

Unlike Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong were both experts at spreading rumors.

Especially Unlike Ning Zhuo, out of confidence, he had spread rumors in advance with Sun Lingtong's help.

Now, these rumors were having a positive and effective effect for him.

When everyone realized that Unlike Ning Zhuo was just a dragon passing through the river, not a local snake, the cave dwelling he occupied would eventually become vacant.

The crowd's aversion to him diminished significantly.

"Then when is he leaving?"

"That's not clear."

"I think he's actually quite good here on the Small Contention Peak."

"He's good-looking, and every time I watch him fight, it's simply a pleasure to the eyes!"

"He's really gentle and elegant. After defeating Hua Guzi, he even fed her Golden Core-grade medicinal wine. Who else has done that?"

The crowd also learned from this the reason why Unlike Ning Zhuo recovered so quickly after his battle with Hanzhou.

The next day, at the martial arts arena.

Hanzhou was again beaten back step by step under the siege of more than twenty mechanical limbs and took the initiative to call a stop.

Unlike Ning Zhuo, however, did not feel as unsatisfied as before.

He felt that the insights gained from this kind of training had decreased significantly compared to before, not even reaching thirty percent.

He secretly pondered in his heart: "Mainly because the battle with Hua Guzi allowed me to fully engage in actual combat and realize many advantages and disadvantages."

"Continuing to spar with Hanzhou like this, where neither side can use their true strength, makes it difficult to stimulate me."

Unlike Ning Zhuo felt more and more that the Small Contention Peak was his blessed land.

This was because he had fully engaged in actual combat here, greatly filling in his own shortcomings. In many aspects, he had made significant progress.

"The gains from Hanzhou, although still there, are not enough."

"Perhaps I should change to someone else for sparring."

"Maintain the relationship with Hanzhou and get more bitter water to drink."

Unlike Ning Zhuo pondered.

After this sparring session ended, he and Hanzhou walked out of the martial arts arena side by side.

Hanzhou said: "Fellow Daoist Unlike Ning Zhuo, why treat Hua Guzi after the battle? In my opinion, wasting Golden Core-grade medicinal wine for nothing is truly not worth it."

Hanzhou had quite a bit of resentment.

This was because before, when Unlike Ning Zhuo found him and asked him to infuse bitter cold qi into the mechanical limbs, he was very welcoming.

On one hand, he had long looked forward to others suffering the abuse of the mechanical limbs. On the other hand, he wanted to use Unlike Ning Zhuo's hand to erode others with bitter cold qi and strive for more opportunities to convert others.

As it turned out, Unlike Ning Zhuo saved the person directly after the battle and dispelled the bitter cold qi.

Unlike Ning Zhuo smiled slightly and explained to Hanzhou that he didn't want to be too aggressive and bully a weak woman. He didn't want to truly make an enemy of Hua Guzi; it had always been just sparring.

He sent a cup of Warm Autumn Wine just to build a good relationship with Hua Guzi and didn't want to make the relationship between himself and those around him too tense. When away from home, having one more friend is definitely better than having one more enemy.

Hanzhou couldn't help but sigh: "Young Master Unlike Ning Zhuo truly has the demeanor of a great family. It's just that you probably don't know that Hua Guzi has always been arrogant, has a strange temperament, and is vengeful. After all, she is of half-human, half-demon descent and naturally possesses a demon nature!"

"If you treat her like this, she won't recognize your kindness; instead, she will hate you even more and retaliate against you in the future!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo was slightly stunned, then showed a look of confusion.

Just as he was about to ask, a "lantern" flew over from not far away.

Looking closely, it was Hua Guzi, dressed in wide robes, floating forward.

Hua Guzi rushed straight to Unlike Ning Zhuo, her gaze locked tightly on the latter.

Hanzhou and Unlike Ning Zhuo immediately stood on guard!

"Young Master Unlike Ning Zhuo, please accept this!!!" As it turned out, after Hua Guzi rushed to Unlike Ning Zhuo, she stopped abruptly, bowed deeply, and offered a plate of dumplings with both hands.

Unlike Ning Zhuo and Hanzhou:?!

Both of them looked stunned, not knowing what kind of demon Hua Guzi was playing.

Unlike Ning Zhuo became vigilant in his heart, his spiritual sense covering these dumplings and Hua Guzi, and his first natural guess was—could these dumplings be poisoned?

The next moment, Unlike Ning Zhuo felt this guess was unreliable.

Because even if she were to poison him, she wouldn't do it to his face like this.

So, what exactly was going on with this Hua Guzi?

Unlike Ning Zhuo only thought that Hua Guzi had encountered some difficulty and wanted to ask for his help.

He immediately said: "Fellow Daoist Hua, let's go talk somewhere else."

Little did he know that Hua Guzi still maintained the bowing posture, her face facing the ground, not retreating at all: "Please, Young Master Unlike Ning Zhuo, accept my sincerity!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo:??

His spiritual sense expanded, covering the surroundings, and finding that there were fewer people around, he immediately used his trump card.

Divine Ability—Life-Hanging Thread.

Magic Treasure—My Buddha Heart Demon Seal!

The next moment, he felt many of Hua Guzi's emotions.

Hua Guzi dared not raise her head to face Unlike Ning Zhuo directly; her face, parallel to the ground, was flushed red!

She was roaring in her heart.

"Ah, ah, ah!"

"Why, why!"

"Little girl, I ended up doing this after all!!"

"Hua Guzi, what are you doing?"

"You shameless thing, you actually treat a man like this; how could you behave in such a self-deprecating way?"

"But, but..."

"It, it feels so good."

"Being in such close contact with him, the air seems to be filled with his body scent. It smells so good!"

"Young Master Unlike Ning Zhuo is truly a flower-like man."

"I really want to be beaten by him again, to be besieged by the mechanical limbs he controls, and then have him pinch my mouth and pour warm medicinal wine into it."

Unlike Ning Zhuo:?!!

Although he couldn't feel Hua Guzi's clear thoughts, he could sense her surging, twisted emotions.

Unlike Ning Zhuo subconsciously took a small step back.

He felt a chill in his heart, looking down at Hua Guzi's petite waist and back: "What exactly is going on with this woman?!"

For a time, Unlike Ning Zhuo couldn't figure out Hua Guzi's routine.

For the sake of safety, he refused directly: "There is no need for this, Fellow Daoist Hua; we were just sparring, and there is no such thing as you owing me anything. Even that Warm Autumn Wine was something I gave voluntarily, and I never thought about you repaying me."
