Chapter 46: Ling Kong! When Will You Stop?:
Damn it! Just damn it!
Previously, in the Grand Valley, he did the same thing, competing with her for something and then giving it to Jiang Ruoxi! And now, he was doing it again!
Xia Yuran felt like there was a fire burning in her chest, making her want to explode on the spot!
This Ling Kong was incredibly infuriating!
No, he was downright humiliating!
How dare he treat her this way!
"Hmph!" Xia Yuran let out a cold snort and turned to leave. She didn't want to see Ling Kong and Jiang Ruoxi together, not for another second!
Fu Buxing glanced at Ling Kong before quickly following Xia Yuran. The two of them went back to the main hall to select another sword furnace.
Jiang Ruoxi looked at the sword Ling Kong handed her. It was far superior to the one she was holding.
"Thank you! I will repay you in the future!" She extended her delicate hand to take the sword.
"I told you there's no need to repay me, you just need to..."
"Don't say it! Don't you dare say it out loud!" Jiang Ruoxi hurriedly interrupted Ling Kong. He could say those words about her promising herself to him when they were alone, but it was too embarrassing to say it in front of others.
Ling Kong smiled. Fine, he wouldn't say it!
Seeing Ling Kong give the sword to Jiang Ruoxi, the surrounding disciples were envious.
"How generous is Ling Kong? Such a good sword, and he just gives it away!"
"If I got such a sword, I wouldn't give it away for anything!"
"Even if my girlfriend asked for it and threatened to break up with me, I wouldn't give it to her!"
"Speaking of which, what's the relationship between Ling Kong and Jiang Ruoxi? Are they a couple?"
"At this point, what do you think? If they weren't, would he give such a valuable thing away?"
"Wow, they really are... a perfect match!"
"These two... they're a match made in heaven!"
"Absolutely!"
The disciples' various voices filled the hall.
Qian Piaopiao also watched Ling Kong and Jiang Ruoxi.
As the wife of the sect master, she knew Ling Kong's identity.
Jiang Ruoxi might indeed become a princess consort in the future! And they did make a good pair!
Even an older woman like her found them well-matched. She hoped they would always stay this way.
After receiving the sword, Jiang Ruoxi turned to Ling Kong and said, "Shall we go?"
Ling Kong smiled. "Go? What's the rush? Xia Yuran is still here! She still has to open her sword furnace! How can I just leave?"
"Watch a few more being opened." Ling Kong said with a smile.
"More?" Jiang Ruoxi looked at the mischievous smile on Ling Kong's lips and asked, "Are you... going to compete with her again?"
Ling Kong's expression seemed to say just that—he planned to compete with Xia Yuran again.
"What competition? We're just relying on our abilities!" Ling Kong patted Jiang Ruoxi's shoulder.
"Well..." Jiang Ruoxi was speechless. "Are you doing this... because you still have some feelings for her?" Jiang Ruoxi asked softly.
Why else would Ling Kong insist on competing with Xia Yuran?
Wasn't this just a way to stay connected with her?
However, when Jiang Ruoxi said this, Ling Kong's expression changed slightly. "I told you, I have no relationship with her, and I have no feelings for her whatsoever!"
If he had any feelings at all, it was disgust!
Nothing more!
Saying he had a relationship with her felt like an insult!
"I... I understand! I'm sorry!" Jiang Ruoxi quickly looked down.
Ling Kong had said this many times, and she still questioned him, which might make him feel she didn't trust him.
Of course, he would be angry!
Alright, she wouldn't ask again!
She believed that Ling Kong and Xia Yuran were completely unrelated now!
After that, Ling Kong and Jiang Ruoxi waited in the hall.
Before long, Xia Yuran's voice rang out!
"Sect Elder! Please open this sword furnace for me!"
As soon as Xia Yuran finished speaking, Qian Piaopiao flew over immediately. And Ling Kong smiled and quickly walked over, saying, "I'll bid 20,000! I want this sword furnace too!"
Hearing this, Xia Yuran and Fu Buxing turned their heads mechanically, staring at him!
"Ling Kong! What do you mean by this? When will you stop?" Xia Yuran exploded on the spot!
He already took one sword furnace from her, and now he want to take the second one she chose?
Was he doing this just to annoy her?
What did she ever do to him?
Just because she didn't choose him but chose Bai Feng instead? Was he that petty and vindictive?
Was he jealous and trying to torment her?
"I just happened to like it too!" Ling Kong smiled faintly. Since he was here, he might as well open a few more. As long as it wasn't empty, he'd profit!
"You... fine! So you really want to compete with me?" Xia Yuran gritted her teeth and said fiercely, "I'll bid 100,000!"
"Yuran, don't be impulsive!" Fu Buxing quickly reminded her. Jumping straight to 100,000 was excessive!
"Senior Brother Fu, didn't you say I could open ten sword furnaces? I won't open them all, just give me 100,000 spirit stones. I will compete with him for this one!" Xia Yuran said coldly.
She was infuriated!
She didn't want Ling Kong to succeed; she wanted to compete with him this time! She didn't want to be bullied by him!
