Chapter 1275 discusses the making of milk tea.
"..."
Lei Zhen was also eager to know when the other party would return.
Now it's like he didn't properly notify everyone.
But honestly, he really didn't dare to play any tricks this time.
Although we are both bandits and have known each other for many years, there is really no real affection between us.
They've only come together because of mutual interests.
Since we can't escape Ningruan's control, we can only cooperate.
So that she wouldn't want to capture him in the painting again if she disagreed with him.
“Fellow Daoist Yue is always cautious. I suspect that she may have discovered something, which is why she has not returned yet.”
"Oh?"
“Fellow Daoist Ning, if you don’t believe me, I can swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao right now that I absolutely did not tip her off.”
"Okay, then stand up."
"..."
Lei Zhen, who had only said it casually, now had no choice but to swear an oath.
After he finished making his oath to Heaven, Ning Ruan said, "Actually, I believe you, but since you want to make an oath, I can't stop you."
Lei Zhen: "..." He...he wants to make a vow?
Is it that he wants to make a vow?
Taking a deep breath, Lei Zhen forced a smile: "Then what should we do next? Knowing her as I do, if Fellow Daoist Yue really senses something is wrong, I'm afraid she won't come back."
"If she doesn't come back, so be it. We've got you now anyway," Mingquan smiled. "Right, Senior Lei?"
Lei Zhen: "..."
Ning Ruan turned to look at the four still-shaken patrol team members, swallowed the milk tea in her mouth, and said seriously:
"Just as you imagined, you have been captured by me."
"If you want to survive, tell each other about the bad things you've done. The more you tell, the better your chances of survival."
Lei Zhen: "..."
He had seen this scene several times before.
I even experienced it myself once.
No matter how many times he saw it, Lei Zhen felt his scalp tingle every time he saw such a scene.
We had no choice but to grit our teeth and keep watching.
Not only do they have to watch, but they also have to be responsible for reminding others.
He coughed lightly and said in a deep voice to the patrol team, "Listen to Fellow Daoist Ning, this is your only chance to survive."
"..."
Lei Zhen's humble behavior became the final straw that broke the camel's back for the patrol team.
Even if you don't know what happened before, you can now vaguely guess what happened.
The four bandits looked at each other, seemingly still struggling with something.
Seeing this, Lei Zhen said skillfully, "Delaying time won't help. The other teams have all gone through this before."
"Lord Lei... if we tell him, will we be spared?"
"..." Of course not.
Each previous patrol team had asked similar questions.
At first, you might feel a little awkward.
But now he can answer frankly, "If you don't tell me, you won't survive."
"..."
The four of them fell silent.
But after only a moment, one of the cultivators spoke first: "I shall speak."
Without hesitation, he pointed to his companion beside him: "Just a few days ago, we encountered a female cultivator from the sea tribe. He forced her to become his slave, and when she refused, he forced her to self-destruct."
"What nonsense are you spouting?" The cultivator who was pointed at immediately flew into a rage. "Who do you think you are? Wasn't it you who wiped out an entire family for a spiritual artifact half a month ago?"
“That wasn’t something I did alone; you all participated as well.”
“I was involved, but it was organized by you.”
“It was organized by me. That’s not what you said when you were dividing the spoils.”
"..."
The four cultivators who were just a team are now arguing heatedly.
Just like the previous patrol teams, they seemed ready to start a fight at any moment.
Ning Ruan held her milk tea, listening with great interest.
After a long silence, he finally spoke:
"Wonderful, really wonderful."
She took a sip of her milk tea and slowly opened her lips: "The bad things you've done are really evenly matched."
The four of them fell silent instantly, looking nervously at Ning Ruan.
"I've said the most, so will you let me go now?"
"I said just as much as he did. If you let him go, will you let me go too?"
"...And me..."
"..."
The four men looked on with eager anticipation, hoping to hear from Ning Ruan that they would be spared.
But this is obviously impossible.
After hearing about the four men's various misdeeds, Lei Zhen already knew what their fate would be.
as predicted.
next moment.
Ning Ruan slowly took the scroll from her waist.
The movement was slow, but it made the hearts of the four bandits jump into their throats instantly.
"Congratulations," Ning Ruan said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the four of them immediately showed joy.
But Ning Ruan quickly continued:
"You guys are still the only team that's this thoroughly evil."
"so……"
She paused, her fingertips gently tracing the edge of the scroll.
"You must be curious about where your leader is, right?"
"How about I take you to see him right now?"
The four cultivators were completely unfazed.
Who's curious?
It's been so long and the leader still hasn't come out; it's obvious his fate won't be good.
Go see the leader?
Can they possibly recover?
The four cultivators' expressions changed drastically in an instant.
"and many more--"
"You clearly said you would forgive us—"
"Lord Lei Zhen—"
The four of them cried out in alarm and turned to run away.
Ning Ruan lightly tapped the scroll in her hand.
In an instant, an invisible suction force suddenly erupted.
Before the four figures could escape from the spirit boat, they were directly sucked into the painting.
The whole process was so fast it took only a few breaths.
The deck fell silent once again.
Whether it was the bandits who had stayed behind or the group of cultivators who had paid protection money.
They were all completely silent.
Such a scene might be frightening to see for the first time.
But after seeing it so often, all that's left besides fear is numbness.
Ning Ruan hung the scroll back on her waist, clapped her hands, and said, "I'm such a good person. Even if your leader dies, he won't be lonely anymore. I even sent so many of his men over to him."
Lei Zhen: "..."
The other monks on deck: "..."
Ning Ruan turned to Lei Zhen and asked, "Do you think they might fight the leader in the painting?"
Lei Zhen: "..."
He remained silent, not uttering a single word.
What can be said?
Is the leader going to kill them? Or will they join forces against the leader?
Neither outcome matters to him.
Because they are all in the painting.
He was still outside.
...No, I'm just temporarily outside.
Who knows when he might become a part of the painting himself?
Fortunately, Ning Ruan didn't mind whether he answered or not.
He then turned around and went straight back to the second floor.
Before entering the room, he said to the two chefs below, "Your milk tea has improved a lot this time, but I think there's still room for improvement. What do you think?"
The two bandits nodded repeatedly.
One person said, "I think we could add some juice from the spirit fruit to the milk tea to enhance the fruity aroma!"
Another person chimed in, "We should add some more spiritual honey to increase the sweetness and also to nourish spiritual energy!"
Ning Ruan stroked her chin: "That's a good idea."
"However, I think we could also try adding some special spiritual herbs, such as... the Heart-Clearing Herb?"
