Chapter 942: Chapter 940: Bumper Harvest!

After slaying the Fifth Level Spirit Puppet, Lin Bai and Jian Ruohan walked over and tucked the Fifth Level Spirit Crystal into their bosoms.

"You keep it for now, there are still seven Fifth Level Spirit Puppets on the battlefield. After killing them, we’ll distribute it," said Jian Ruohan, her beautiful eyes turning towards the other seven Fifth Level Spirit Puppets!

"Okay!" Lin Bai also did not hesitate at all and directly placed the Spirit Crystal into his bosom.

"Mhm." Jian Ruohan nodded lightly.

"Then let’s continue. After killing these seven Fifth Level Spirit Puppets, they should be able to wipe out the Third Grade Spirit Puppets as well. After that, we’ll need to keep moving forward," Lin Bai said with a faint smile.

Jian Ruohan nodded lightly.

Immediately, Lin Bai and Jian Ruohan exchanged a glance and both used their movement techniques to rush toward another Fifth Level Spirit Puppet at high speed!

"My god, Lin Bai and Jian Ruohan are hunting Fifth Level Spirit Puppets!"

"So amazing, so powerful, they are actually moving freely amongst so many Third Grade Spirit Puppets. Such power is simply astonishing as if from the heavens!"

"Damn it, if only one day I could be like them, coming and going freely among the Spirit Puppet crowd!"

"Is this what it means to be a Strong One? Is this the power of a Fourth Level Martial Intent Strong One? One day, I too will become as strong as them!"

Lin Bai and Jian Ruohan joined forces to enter among the Spirit Puppets as if entering an uninhabited land, moving freely. Such power left an unforgettable memory for all disciples present.

They would never forget, in their lifetime, a man and a woman, with Heaven-reaching Sword Skill, charging into the Spirit Puppets to slay the Fifth Level ones.

"Junior Sister Jian Ruohan, how come you know him so well?" Lu Rui looked at Jian Ruohan incredulously. Being a Sword Cultivator himself, he naturally noticed at a glance that Jian Ruohan knew Lin Bai too deeply.

It wasn’t just Lu Rui and Ruan Jinhui who felt that Jian Ruohan knew Lin Bai very well.

Even Lin Bai felt that every move he made was as if known by Jian Ruohan, as if she knew exactly what he was about to do.

But it was precisely because of this that Lin Bai and Jian Ruohan cooperated so tacitly, managing to easily slay the Fifth Level Spirit Puppets in a short amount of time!

Half an hour later.

Lin Bai and Jian Ruohan, having charged into the crowd of Spirit Puppets, both turned back and returned.

Ruan Jinhui and Lu Rui both looked at Lin Bai and Jian Ruohan with faces of utter shock, as if they had been scared silly.

"There are still over a thousand Third Grade Spirit Puppets here, but the Fourth Grade and Fifth Grade ones have been slain by us. The rest of the Spirit Puppets are left to you," Lin Bai said to Ruan Jinhui.

Ruan Jinhui, still immersed in shock, snapped back to reality upon hearing Lin Bai’s words and said, "Alright, Junior Brother Lin Bai, Junior Sister Jian Ruohan, you’ve worked hard. Go rest for now. I’ll arrange for the disciples to clean up these Third Grade Spirit Puppets!"

Lin Bai and Jian Ruohan both nodded and got up to return to the middle of the team!

"Heavens! What did I just witness? Lin Bai and Jian Ruohan charged into the crowd of Spirit Puppets and killed all the ones above Fourth Grade, then retreated safely."

"Brothers, stop looking, Lin Bai and Jian Ruohan have already left. Now it’s our battlefield! Kill! I’m coming for the Third Level Spirit Crystals!"

"Lin Bai and Senior Sister Jian Ruohan are so kind. They only killed the Fourth Grade and Fifth Level Spirit Puppets, not touching a single Third Grade one. Otherwise, if they had gone for the Third Grade Spirit Puppets, we probably wouldn’t even get the leftovers."

"Stop talking nonsense, let’s kill!"

A large number of disciples once again took up arms and charged into the crowd of Spirit Puppets, bringing down one Third Grade Spirit Puppet after another with their swords.

And Ruan Jinhui, Lu Rui, and Ling Shuang watched silently from the sidelines.

The three people, with six eyes, were all filled with shock.

The three stood shoulder to shoulder, all silent.

"Monster!" Ling Shuang said with a bitter smile after a long silence.

"Hahaha." Ruan Jinhui also looked at Ling Shuang with a wry smile, laughing heartily as they shared an unspoken understanding. "Junior Sister Ling Shuang, how many Fourth Grade Spirit Puppets did you kill?"

Ling Shuang took out a pitifully small Fourth-Level Spiritual Crystal from her bosom, "Just one... Almost half of the Fourth Grade Spirit Puppets in that group were slain by Lin Bai alone!"

"Even if I wanted to snatch some, unfortunately, there were so many Third Grade Spirit Puppets among them, and without the same strength as Lin Bai, how could I possibly get close to the Fourth Grade ones!"

Ruan Jinhui gave a bitter smile, then turned to look at Lu Rui, asking, "What about you, Lu Rui?"

"Ah!" Lu Rui’s face showed a hint of embarrassment as he reached into his bosom and said, "Five!"

Ruan Jinhui kept on smiling wryly as he pulled out spiritual crystals, "I have seven... all the other crystals were taken by Lin Bai, and I didn’t get a single Fifth Level Spirit Crystal."

Both Ling Shuang and Ruan Jinhui couldn’t stop their bitter smiling, their faces even showing a sense of grievance.

"If I had known, I really shouldn’t have invited Lin Bai to join the Guard Team. Now look, he has killed all the Fourth Grade Spirit Puppets by himself, not to mention eight Fifth Grade ones. Talk about having no meat to eat, I didn’t even get a sip of soup!" the beautiful Ling Shuang said with some frustration.

"Hahaha!" Ruan Jinhui laughed out loud again, smiling without a word.

The great battle at the rear continued for about another hour, and finally all the Spirit Puppets were slain. Ruan Jinhui ordered the disciples to maintain their formation and rushed forward.

Lin Bai and Jian Ruohan returned to the middle of the group!

"Eight Fifth Level Spirit Puppets in total, eight crystals, just right, four each for us." Lin Bai took out eight spiritual crystals, divided up four, and handed them to Jian Ruohan.

"Miss Jian Ruohan, these are what you deserve."

Lin Bai handed over four spiritual crystals to Jian Ruohan with a smile.

"Do we really need to divide them so clearly?" Jian Ruohan asked coldly, looking at Lin Bai.

Since Jian Ruohan’s face was always cold, Lin Bai couldn’t tell at the moment whether she was actually angry or not.

"Uh, hahaha, well, you did contribute after all, so it’s only fair," Lin Bai said with a nod and a smile.

Jian Ruohan extended her fair, jade-like hand, took the four spiritual crystals, glanced at them, and said to Lin Bai, "Can I ask you to do something for me with these four Fifth Level Spirit Crystals?"

Lin Bai was startled. Although the Fifth Level Spirit Crystals were very valuable, he could get them himself, so he wasn’t too concerned about these four.

"Haha, if Miss Jian Ruohan has something that she needs from Lin Mou, please feel free to tell me. As long as I’m able to do it without violating my principles, I will do my utmost," Lin Bai said with a light smile.

Jian Ruohan, her face still cold, stuffed the four Fifth Level Spirit Crystals into Lin Bai’s hands and said, "This matter is quite simple; it won’t take your life, nor will it go against your principles!"

Lin Bai said with a smile, "Then, I’m curious to know, what is it that even you can’t handle and need to ask for help?"

Jian Ruohan spoke indifferently, "The matter is... from now on, don’t call me Miss Jian Ruohan, just call me Ruohan."

"Uh..." Lin Bai had thought that whatever Jian Ruohan was going to ask must be incredibly difficult, and he was prepared to give it his all as he listened to her earnestly.

But who would have thought that Jian Ruohan’s request would turn out to be this...

It was a complete 180-degree turn!

Lin Bai was momentarily astonished!

"What, if you don’t like calling me Ruohan, then call me Han’er, or Ruoruo... any of those are fine," Jian Ruohan added after seeing the shocked look on Lin Bai’s face.

When she mentioned the names "Han’er" and "Ruoruo," Lin Bai saw a quick flush of red spread across Jian Ruohan’s snow-white cheeks...
