Using the MC system to pretend spiritual revival

Chapter 119 Ning Bing
Xiao Yan, who quickly fled the living room, did not linger on the second floor. Instead, he turned a corner and climbed the stairs to the third floor.

However, as soon as he stepped onto the stairs, he bumped into Ningbing, who was coming downstairs.

Both of them were taken aback, somewhat surprised.

However, Xiao Yan, who had come here specifically to find him, was the first to react and broke the silence with a tone of surprise.

"Sister Leng, where are you going? I was just about to look for you."

Saying this seemed to break the initial awkwardness.

Without waiting for a reply, Xiao Yan spoke again in a mysterious tone.

"I had an unexpected bonus on this mission. Come with me, I'll show you something good!"

After saying that, ignoring the helplessness in her eyes, he pulled her and ran back to the third floor.

When they returned to the terrace where the two had first greeted each other.

The sun has risen, and its golden-red rays are shining on the sparse clouds.

Ning Bing, who had been dragged all the way here, looked at Xiao Yan's profile, which was reddened by the setting sun, and felt a little glaring at his pure youthful emotions.

When the two of them stood still, in the rising sunlight.

Then I saw the boy in front of me with a bright smile on his face, mysteriously pulling a red string from around his neck.

As she pulled, a small bell with a warm, golden luster appeared before Ning Bing's eyes.

"Look at Sister Leng, isn't she beautiful?"

Ning Bing, who was staring blankly at the boy's clear smile, was startled awake by those words.

My gaze was then drawn to what looked like a necklace in her hand.

After watching for a while, I had some guesses in my mind, so I tentatively asked.

"This... is a magic weapon?"

Although she had little contact with magical artifacts, one could even say very little.

Only he, Xiao Yan in front of him, and a few people from the organization possessed it.

Although she didn't understand the magic weapon, she did understand Xiao Yan in front of her.

As the young master of a prominent family in Beijing's elite circles.

A gold necklace certainly wouldn't excite the other person so much that they would come to her to show it off.

Considering the current state of affairs, only a magical artifact could make the other party so happy.

Thinking this way, in these turbulent times, the other party has obtained another magical artifact.

She genuinely felt happy for the other person.

"Yeah, Sister Leng, you have great taste! What do you think? Isn't it beautiful?"

As she spoke, the other person moved the hand holding the small golden bell necklace closer.

Seeing this childlike behavior, Ning Bing responded calmly and as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.

"It is indeed very beautiful. It's good that you have two magic weapons now, but you are still too impulsive in your actions."

"There are too many people lurking in the shadows right now. I know your magic weapon is powerful, but you're still just a mortal. You need to change your impulsive nature..."

Just as she was lecturing in her usual tone, which was slightly helpless and reproachful,

A cool sensation suddenly came from my raised palm.

Her involuntary tone, as if she were disciplining her younger brother, suddenly stopped.

Then, he stared blankly at the small golden bell in his hand.

She looked up again, somewhat puzzled, at the boy who was smiling brightly.

"This is?"

"Here you go, Sister Leng."

Xiao Yan, who said this, did not show any reluctance on his face, but was a little awkward, which was then covered up by an embarrassed laugh.

"Ha~ I'm already very strong, Sister Leng."

"Your magic weapon has no offensive power. Its effect is to increase size, just like a defensive magic weapon."

"Moreover, the sound can also confuse the mind and drive away ordinary people."

"This way, Sister Leng, you will be much safer when facing those ordinary killers or armed criminals."

Seemingly to avoid embarrassment, the boy finished speaking in one breath.

Hearing these words and looking at the delicate golden bell in her hand, Ning Bing's expression was complex and inexplicable.

After the first awakened one appeared on the street, the value of various magical artifacts and rare treasures became immeasurable by money.

Even the least effective defensive magic item is priceless.

Judging from the effects the boy had just described, the magic weapon in his hand was a rare composite magic weapon.

Its rarity has increased dramatically.

This little guy just gave it to me without even blinking.

Her slender, white fingers gripped and released the bell in her hand.

He glanced down at the leather boots he was wearing.

These leather boots were her only means of survival, but they weren't very effective.

Compared to Xiao Yan's powerful flame magic weapon, Ning Bing's boots were...

It only slightly increases the body's resistance to blows and allows the water to freeze when stepped on; it can be considered a very ordinary magical artifact.

This is why she has always been positioned in the back of the organization; lacking strong offensive or defensive capabilities, she can only perform logistical tasks.

She looked up and saw the expectant look in the eyes of the boy in front of her.

In the end, Ningbing's eyes darkened.

next moment.

And so, to the other person's stunned gaze, she put the precious necklace back around their neck.

Her somewhat dejected expression vanished in an instant, replaced by a smile as she looked at the bewildered Xiao Yan.

I really like the gift, but I'll leave it with you for now.

"I'm just doing logistical work; I won't encounter any danger, on the contrary..."

As she spoke, she raised her hand.

She extended a slender finger and tapped the forehead of the uneasy-looking boy, causing his face to tilt back.

"You impulsive kid, you're the one who needs more protective magic weapons."

"And don't underestimate me. I've been learning martial arts recently to use this magic weapon to enhance my body."

As she spoke, she even threw a few punches on the spot, creating a whooshing sound, which actually looked quite convincing. However, this impeccable response clearly did not meet the expectations of the boy in front of her.

Seeing the other person's dejected expression, Ning Bing could only sigh inwardly.

If everyone in the organization could see it, how could she not see the other person's intentions?
But let's not even mention the turbulent times we live in now, and the danger that everyone could die at any moment.

We'll only consider their identities.

How could she possibly accept this gesture?

Xiao Yan, the third young master of the Xiao family in the capital, is powerful and influential, and deeply loved by his family elders.

Even the eldest son, who drinks tea in the living room downstairs, as the head of the long-established Yue family, has to treat this impetuous young man with respect.

And what do I have?
They came from ordinary backgrounds, and were even worse off.

The father was in a car accident, and the mother died young. In order to pay for medical expenses, he borrowed money from loan sharks, but all he received was a huge debt IOU and a death notice from the hospital.

She was chased for money and almost forced into prostitution, but luckily she found a magical artifact and was able to escape.

Later, he was taken in by the current boss and hired as a support staff member, who also helped him settle his debts.

It's almost fair to say that the two are completely incomparable.

She didn't want to be a caged bird in a rich family, nor did she want to incur huge debts of gratitude.

I originally thought that the other party was just a young man with romantic feelings, and that as long as I maintained indifference and distance, the other party would get bored and give up naturally.

But now, a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and with this incident today, she really doesn't know what to do.

Besides, putting everything else aside, I'm already 28 this year.

My original plan was to work hard for my current boss to repay the kindness he showed me.

I never dared to hope for anything in the second half of my life.

But the past month of getting along with her has also made her realize...

This young man was neither the spoiled brat described in stories, nor was he driven by lust; he seemed to be serious.

Clearly, Ning Bing was no stone when it came to the other party's undisguised fervor.

"Sigh, he's really childish."

He muttered to himself, looking at the boy in front of him with his droopy eyebrows and droopy eyes.

A pang of heartache welled up in my heart, so I subconsciously made an excuse to change the subject.

"By the way, Xiao Yan, is this also a loot from this mission? How strong were the enemies?"

Xiao Yan, who was still feeling a bit down, regained some energy after hearing the topic the other party brought up.

Thinking of how he had easily defeated the renowned Three Evils, he couldn't help but feel relieved.

He began to tell the story with great enthusiasm, using gestures to accompany his words.

Seeing that his mood had improved, Ning Bing listened quietly with a smile, occasionally responding with a few words.

Upon hearing that the other party had burned the evil magic, she couldn't help but cheer.

He couldn't help but admire them when he heard that they had managed to extract a secret about an evil organization through threats.

However, after sighing, Ning Bing realized the importance of it and began to think deeply.

"Xiao Yan, have you told the boss about this cultivator's tomb?"

Xiao Yan, who was still talking boastfully, was taken aback when he heard her ask such a serious question.

"No, I was thinking that when I have time in a few days, I'll look around according to the map. Maybe I can find a few powerful magic treasures for you, Sister Leng!"

However, Ning Bing felt no joy upon hearing these words.

Instead, he frowned and poked the other person's forehead with one finger again.

"Nonsense! Ancient tombs—they sound like places full of traps and formations."

"It's too dangerous for you to just run over there like that."

"I'm warning you, you're not allowed to go by yourself."

After she finished speaking, she also began to think.

"You should tell the boss this message, whether he knows it or not, you've contributed this message."

"You will also share in the gains from the organization's subsequent explorations, which is much safer than going on your own."

After analyzing the situation for the other party, she raised her hand to check the time on her wristwatch.

“Perfect timing. I just went down to the conference room ahead of time. Let’s go together now, and you can share this information in the conference room.”

"With all members present, and given Boss Yue's generosity, he certainly wouldn't be stingy with member rewards."

Upon hearing his sister Leng's analysis, Xiao Yan nodded seriously, chin in hand.

When I first heard the news, I didn't think about it in detail, but now that I think about it, it really is true.

Although confident in their own strength, the ancient cultivator's tomb...

I think of the immortal cultivators in various legends who can fly, escape into the earth, move mountains and fill seas.

Xiao Yan felt a wave of fear. Luckily, he hadn't run over there secretly, but had told Sister Leng beforehand.

With that thought, Xiao Yan's gaze toward Ning Bing became even more intense.

"Sister Leng, you're so smart."

Ningbing, who had only done a simple analysis, received this "so smart" evaluation, and helplessly rubbed her forehead.

"That's not called being clever, that's called being cautious."

"You should think things through more carefully before you act in the future, otherwise you'll suffer a great loss if you keep acting impulsively."

As they were talking, it was getting close to the start of the meeting.

Without further delay, the two left the balcony together.

They chatted and laughed as they went downstairs to the conference room on the first floor.

As the two walked away, their conversation could still be heard echoing in the stairwell, fading into the distance.

"Speaking of Xiao Yan, I've always had a question..."

"What is it, Sister Leng?"

"Why do you keep calling me Sister Leng? You know my real name..."

"Huh? This?"

"Because my name is Yan, and Yan and Leng... don't you think they go well together?"

"... "

"You really are..."
