Chapter 2784: You’re Going to Cook Us
Touro, who was right next to Ning Shu, was especially hot and sweaty. He looked like a fish that had just been fished out of water.
Touro had witnessed Ning Shu’s skills so he knew that Ning Shu was to blame for the sudden rise of heat.
Touro gave Ning Shu’s shoulder a nudge. “Take a break. You’re going to cook us.”
Ning Shu: …
Was it really that hot?
She hadn’t realized it. Her body had probably grown used to it.
Ning Shu stopped absorbing the yang energy from the sun. Instead, she began to absorb the meager amount of spiritual energy surrounding her.
Spiritual energy shouldn’t have the same heating effect.However, Ning Shu, who was already used to absorbing an enormous amount of yang energy, felt like she was constipated as she absorbed the scarce spiritual energy.
Her fellow car passengers were much more comfortable now, though. The spiritual energy Ning Shu was gathering around them felt like a spring breeze, which was indescribably comfortable.
Ning Shu cultivated all through the car ride. She only occasionally opened her eyes to eat something.
“What’s our mission this time?” Darlene only asked her to babysit the newcomers, lest they die on their first mission.
Training them had cost the blood hunter order a lot.
It was already difficult enough for such a huge organization to regain its original investment.
Touro tore his jerky. He stared at the four newbies and said, “There’s a town where a bunch of people are going missing. The rate is about seven to eight people a day.
“I’m just worried that we’ll encounter the same situation that we did in our last mission. What if these vampires are up to the same thing?
“I suspect that another third-generation vampire is about to wake up. A previous team has already been wiped out and their corpses haven’t even been found.
“There’s a storm brewing. A big battle is definitely coming. Lives will be at stake.” Touro sighed.
Ning Shu bit into her jerky. “In times like these, human life is worthless. The organization should join hands with the nations. We’re heading into a large-scale war, one which the blood hunter order won’t be able to handle on its own, don’t you think so?
“This jerky’s pretty good! Where did you buy it?” Ning Shu chewed on the jerky. The more she chewed it, the better it tasted.
Touro looked at Ning Shu somewhat helplessly. “Is this the time to be talking about the jerky?”
“Then what? Do we suddenly just stop eating?” Ning Shu said. “Anyways, we have to protect these precious younglings. They’re the future of our blood hunter order.”
Touro handed Ning Shu a bottle of water. “Considering how powerful you are, I’m sure you have nothing to worry about. We weaklings, however, feel as helpless as an ant facing a mighty flood.
“Forget ants, don’t humans feel the same fear facing such a flood?”
Ning Shu hammered her chest. “I’m even more panicked than you are, but what can I do? All I can do is strengthen myself.”
The four well-behaved newcomers approached them to ask about some of the problems that could happen during the mission.
Touro very patiently answered them all. Sometimes, he’d even quiz them on some hypothetical scenarios.
Ning Shu propped up her chin and pensively stared at the sky. She wondered about what was going on over on Mina’s side.
Was she currently by the side of the skeleton Perry, taking care of him faithfully?
By the next time they met, while Ning Shu would still be a blood hunter, perhaps Mina would have already become a vampire.
She also had no idea whether the misunderstanding between Mina and Perry had been resolved.
Either way, no matter what, true love would conquer all.
Ning Shu hoped, though, that before the misunderstanding got cleared up, these lovebirds could still develop a strong sadistic love.
They’d loathe and torture each other, but endure all the torture they got out of love.
Just thinking about it made Ning Shu feel fired up, but since Perry was now a skeleton, could they still pa-pa-pa?
Even if his muscles slowly regrew, they wouldn’t be able to pa-pa-pa for a while…
Ning Shu felt that her train of thought had strayed too much. Why should she be concerned about whether Mina and Perry were boinking each other?
