Chapter 126: Enduring the Red Bean, Suddenly Hearing the Winning Wave

"Xuan Twenty-Nine" turned pale and instinctively placed his hand on his left shoulder.

Fu Ning squinted his eyes, seemingly lost in thought.

The night was dark, with a sliver of moonlight shining into the small house.

Under the moonlight, two shadows faced each other.

One shadow was deep and solemn, while the other was hazy.

After a long while, a faint voice came from the small house: "'Ren Yuan Dan' and 'Lang Yu Tu'."

Upon hearing this answer, Fu Ning didn't feel surprised at all.

However, he would never let the other party succeed now.

"What will happen if the mission fails?"

Upon hearing the word "fail," Xuan Twenty-Nine's body trembled involuntarily. "I won't die, but I'll be worse off than death."

Fu Ning glanced at her left shoulder, and Xuan Twenty-Nine's hand seemed to tighten even more.

Xuan Twenty-Nine seemed to feel his gaze and hesitated for a moment before directly pulling open her clothes, revealing a bare and smooth shoulder.

The fair and translucent shoulder looked as if it had been scrubbed in a bathhouse in the northeast.

However, upon closer inspection, there was a small red mark on the shoulder.

The mark was not large, resembling a "mole" at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it looked like a "red bean."

"This... is a 'curse seal'?"

A "curse seal" is a type of "forbidden seal."

It can be triggered through certain actions or methods.

Each "curse seal" contains a specific set of rules.

When a "curse seal" is successfully triggered, the hidden rules within it will unfold and be released, achieving the goal of controlling the host.

Upon seeing this, Fu Ning suddenly understood.

Red beans are the most difficult to endure.

It seems that the "Zongsheng Sect" controls its followers through this "red bean" curse seal.

From this perspective, Fu Ning's "Ke Gu" can also be classified as a type of curse seal, an Inner Scenic Diagram.

Xuan Twenty-Nine silently pulled up her clothes, prepared for the failure of the mission.

However, Fu Ning sighed lightly at the sight, and in the next moment, a piece of cloth appeared in his hand.

The cloth was only slightly larger than a palm, with a slightly yellowish surface. It could be seen through by the moonlight, and there were irregular cracks along the edges, as if it had been forcibly torn apart.

Upon seeing the cloth, Xuan Twenty-Nine's pupils contracted involuntarily. "Could this be..."

"Yes, this is one of the fragments of the 'Lang Yu Tu'."

Fu Ning directly handed over the piece of cloth.

He already knew that this "Lang Yu Tu" was fake and useless in his hands.

Although "Ke Gu" could force Xuan Twenty-Nine to superficially obey, it couldn't make her truly submit from the bottom of her heart.

Instead of that, it would be better to use this "Lang Yu Tu" to win people over.

Upon seeing the "Lang Yu Tu" handed to her, Xuan Twenty-Nine's face first showed joy, but then turned hesitant.

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

In Xuan Twenty-Nine's eyes, the "Lang Yu Tu" in front of her was like a hot potato.

For a moment, she didn't know whether she should take it or not.

Fu Ning had long noticed her expression and shook his head, chuckling softly. "Take it."

"If you don't have this fragment, you probably won't be able to report back when you return."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Twenty-Nine's gaze tightened. If she returned empty-handed this time, the punishment would probably be beyond imagination.

But if she had this fragment of the "Lang Yu Tu" as a guarantee, she might be able to fare much better.

However, even so, she still had no intention of accepting the cloth fragment.

"Without merit, one does not receive rewards. What are the conditions?"

Dealing with intelligent people doesn't require much talking, but it does require more thought.

Fu Ning pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "I haven't thought of the conditions yet. I'll tell you when I do."

"Take it."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Twenty-Nine hesitated for a moment, but ultimately accepted the cloth fragment.

After she put away the Wave Chart cloth fragment, Fu Ning said, "Also, remember, don't have any ideas about Yun Niang."

"Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."

Before he finished speaking, a totem in the shape of a maple leaf appeared in his palm.

Seeing this symbol, Xuan Twenty-Nine's pupils contracted, and she quickly lowered her head and said, "I won't target Yun Niang again."

"But..."

At this point, Xuan Twenty-Nine's voice paused, and her tone became hesitant, as if she was considering how to speak.

After a moment of hesitation, she whispered, "Sir, can you give me the body of the White Lotus Scenic Master?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Ning couldn't help but narrow his eyes. "The body of the White Lotus Scenic Master?!"

"Could it be that you want to..."

Xuan Twenty-Nine hurriedly said, "The White Lotus Scenic Master is of the Mu clan bloodline. Although the Innate Water Origin Qi in their flesh and blood is not as good as the Miao clan, they can still refine the Human Yuan Pill!"

Fu Ning frowned. He had a deep aversion to using the Three Lives Division bloodline for alchemy, especially when it involved the White Lotus Scenic Master.

He slowly turned around and walked to the window, looking up at the bright moon in the sky.

At this moment, the night was dark, and the moon, missing a corner, was covered by clouds and mist. Only a little silver light could be seen through the gaps in the clouds.

But this faint light was not enough to illuminate the entire earth, let alone a small house hidden in the mountains.

Fu Ning withdrew his gaze and casually lit the oil lamp on the table.

In the next moment, a faint flame stood up and began to emit orange light around it.

Compared to the cold moonlight, the candlelight brought a touch of warmth to the room.

The candlelight flickered, and the shadows on the wall swayed along with it.

Xuan Twenty-Nine, who was standing behind Fu Ning, suddenly raised her head slightly, and the candlelight illuminated half of her face. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to speak but hesitated.

In the end, she stammered, "Actually..."

"I... have another mission."

As soon as these words were spoken, the candles on the table flickered.

Fu Ning turned around and looked at Xuan Twenty-Nine, who was bowing her head. His eyebrows furrowed. "Another mission?"

"What mission?"

Xuan Twenty-Nine originally didn't want to reveal the secret, but at this moment, she had no choice but to speak up.

So after making up her mind, she directly revealed everything. "Infiltrate Spirit Turtle Island and fish for the Winning Wave Fish!"

Fu Ning was stunned. "What do you mean? You came to my Spirit Turtle Island just to fish?"

If it was about infiltrating Spirit Turtle Island, she could easily accomplish it now.

But what was this Winning Wave Fish?

"Winning Wave Fish?"

Fu Ning furrowed his brows. He seemed to have seen the name of this fish in the "Scenery Chronicles," but he couldn't recall the specific record for a moment.

Xuan Twenty-Nine seemed to sense Fu Ning's confusion, so she quickly explained, "You don't know, this Winning Wave Fish is not an ordinary fish. It is a Spirit Beast in the water."

"It is born in the sea tide, usually hidden underwater, and only appears when it needs to. It rarely shows itself."

"The 'All Beings Sect' divined that this fish would appear on South Sea Spirit Turtle Island, so they sent me to infiltrate Spirit Turtle Island and focus on fishing for this fish."

"And the bait for this fish... is the Human Yuan Pill."
