Chapter 555: Targeted by a Thief

Xiao Fan did not know what Zhangsun Ning was thinking; he only felt very satisfied and happy.

He had become wealthy all of a sudden…

Several million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones; this was earning money too quickly…

"What use do I have for these Spirit Stones!" Xiao Fan muttered to himself, feeling quite miserable.

He possessed the star chart, within which Top-Grade Spirit Stones were piled up like mountains and hadn't even been used up yet. Consequently, what use were these Mid-Grade Spirit Stones to him?

If it were before, if Xiao Fan did not have the star chart, he would certainly have been extremely excited.

But now, his heart felt indescribably complicated.

It was somewhat like, "I have no interest in money, yet money just keeps piling up!"

"What can I do? I am also very helpless!"

"Xiao Fan, come here!" At this moment, Zhangsun Ning's voice appeared in Xiao Fan's ear.

Xiao Fan was stunned, and a bad premonition welled up…

Xiao Fan entered Zhangsun Ning's room and saw her looking at him with a beaming smile.

It made goosebumps rise all over Xiao Fan's body, and he couldn't describe the feeling in his heart…

"Gulp"…

Being stared at by a powerhouse with a beaming smile definitely meant nothing good!

"W-what is it?" Xiao Fan asked tremblingly.

"You earned quite a few Spirit Stones just now, didn't you!" Zhangsun Ning smiled, her expression very radiant.

"Um… just so-so…" Xiao Fan laughed awkwardly.

"I am currently injured, as you can see. grade 4 pills are useless to me. How about this: you go and buy some grade 5 pills for me to consume. Consider these Spirit Stones as a loan from you, and I will repay you when I have the chance!"

Zhangsun Ning spoke directly, stating her thoughts.

"What?" Xiao Fan was stunned. He hadn't expected the other party to say something like that.

She was eyeing his Spirit Stones again, which left Xiao Fan feeling indescribable.

It felt like being targeted by a thief; were the Spirit Stones he had just worked so hard to earn about to be gone?

"I, I…" Xiao Fan stammered, his face turning pale.

"What 'I'? I am currently nursing an injury, and now that we are in this Yihuang Province, safety is an issue. If others find out you are from Wuhuang Province, who knows what other troubles might arise!" Zhangsun Ning frowned and said, "So, this is an investment, do you understand?"

"One must have foresight. You use the Spirit Stones to buy Medicinal Pills to help me recover, and then I will keep you safe. In that sense, you are the one profiting! Do you understand!"

"My cultivation is in the Yuding Realm. You spend a few Spirit Stones to buy the protection of a Yuding Realm powerhouse; you are getting a bargain…"

"…"

Zhangsun Ning continued to persuade him, and finally, she slightly released a bit of her Yuding Realm pressure, using force to reason with him…

Xiao Fan caved in, agreed, and left the Immortal Cave directly to buy grade 5 pills for Zhangsun Ning.

The grade 5 pills she wanted were all of the type that restored the Foundation and replenished Essence Blood.

These types of pills were also the most expensive among all Medicinal Pills. Xiao Fan had the urge to vomit blood, but he suppressed it well.

After all, what Zhangsun Ning said made sense; they might encounter unknown dangers in Yihuang Province.

It would be better to let Zhangsun Ning recover her strength!

The two had known each other for a few years now. Although they never met while in the Secret Realm, they had spent time together recently.

He felt that Zhangsun Ning was a decent person, or at least, she was very trustworthy.

"That's right, she will pay me back!" Xiao Fan muttered to himself.

After all, when Zhangsun Ning left the Secret Realm, she had taken him with her!

He believed her integrity was not an issue!

But he couldn't have imagined that this time, Zhangsun Ning hadn't even considered the issue of paying him back.

After all, she had said later that this was an investment!

At the same time, Xiao Fan was very puzzled: why would a Yuding Realm powerhouse be so poor?!

In Xiao Fan's view, a Yuding Realm powerhouse should at least have hundreds of millions of Mid-Grade Spirit Stones on them; even if they didn't have that much, they should at least have tens of millions!

But why did it feel like Zhangsun Ning was so poor!

Before he had the Spirit Stones, she never mentioned going to buy any grade 5 pills.

Actually, Xiao Fan's thoughts were correct; Zhangsun Ning was indeed poor, mainly because her organization consumed too many Spirit Stones!

It was one thing that they didn't provide Spirit Stones, but they even required them to submit Spirit Stones regularly!

Moreover, in order to hide their identities, they dared not act rashly!

While talking, Xiao Fan arrived at the largest trading firm in the area.

Lianhua Pavilion.

This Lianhua Pavilion was the place The Little Girl who had guided him earlier told him about; it was the largest trading firm in Yihuang Province.

It was similar to the Treasure Pavilion in Wuhuang Province!

Its reputation and quality were guaranteed.

Xiao Fan went straight inside. It was very large and was not divided into floors.

Xiao Fan went directly to the place where Medicinal Pills were sold.

He bought a pile of grade 5 pills, spending over eight hundred thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.

Then, he left under the astonished gazes of the crowd…

Xiao Fan, displaying his wealth, didn't even haggle when buying these pills!

Xiao Fan had also thought about whether he should buy fewer and then lie about the situation!

But upon thinking about it, he dismissed this idea…

After all, Zhangsun Ning was too strong; she might be watching him with her Divine Sense right now. If he did that and she found out, hehe…

Furthermore, Xiao Fan did indeed want Zhangsun Ning to recover quickly.

The two had shared hardships a few times, so there was naturally some affection between them.

Upon returning to the Immortal Cave, Xiao Fan gave the purchased grade 5 pills to Zhangsun Ning.

The latter was very satisfied and immediately consumed them all.

And she had indeed split a portion of her Divine Sense to secretly follow Xiao Fan…

She wanted to see if this guy would act in compliance but do otherwise, and not buy them for her!

But Xiao Fan did not disappoint her; he had bought more than ten grade 5 pills.
