Ning Xiaoling and Lu Jiajia met the next afternoon.
The young girl was wearing a simple white dress with a sword at her waist. Her long black hair drooped softly with the end of her hair tied into a knot. Her face still appeared somewhat childish but she was a lot quieter, displaying an air of detachment. She just looked like the young version of Lu Jiajia.
When she came to meet Lu Jiajia, she was carrying a wooden box, in which there were the desserts made by her and the hair ornaments forged with the metal sheets by her.
She arrived at Lu Jiajia’s cottage, sat on the mattress, took the warm desserts out and passed them to Lu Jiajia. Lu Jiajia slightly opened her eyes and said thanks rather than declined the offer. Then, she started to eat.
“Master, are you used to living here?” Ning Xiaoling asked randomly.
Lu Jiajia nodded, “Not bad. The South Wilderness is not as dangerous as the legend as long as I can resi
Siming stood on the platform. Under the black cape and the silver hair, the endless land and the city held her up high. The darkness within reach merged with her cold eyes. When she looked down at Duanjie City, she seemed to devour the whole magnificent city.Siming’s words were still resounding slowly.An extremely faint shadow suddenly flashed through her crystalline Taoist mind as if the mosquitoes flashed across the water and disappeared.She immediately exerted her power to reverse her own time.The time went back to several breaths ago. She stared at the still lake of heart that was like the mirror and yet saw nothing.The night wind blew over with coldness and poured into her clothes, making her even colder.“Did my eyes deceive me...” She thought. What was going to happen from today onward was of too much importance for her. She was unwilling to let go of any clue to interfere with her actio
Yechu and Ning Changjiu lived next door.Yechu had stopped telling fortune for others and focused his concentration on cultivating the Divine Records of Sura at home. He established countless bridges of destinies for himself so that every step forward could be almost on the fastest and luckiest path. Hence, his speed of cultivation was fast beyond comprehension.Ning Changjiu climbed over the wall, entered Yechu’s home, pushed open the gate, dragged a chair over and sat opposite him.He didn’t disturb Yechu but stared at the latter cultivating. He didn’t speak until Yechu finished cultivating, “Your current momentum is so magnificent. What an eye-opener!”Yechu opened his eyes slowly. One of his pupils was dark and the other one was golden. Holy radiance streamed down his cheek from the golden pupil slowly like tears.With a faint smile, Yechu said, “What doubts do you have today?”Ning Changjiu sai
Wails and cries spread through the city like a plague.The grey sky was glimmering with the pale light. Siming standing on the platform looked like a demon. There were countless streaks of spirits in her palms. Those were all the spirits absorbed by her.Different sounds including wails, begging for mercy, clanging of weapons, the sound of carriages hitting buildings, resounded noisily and frantically.The young man prostrated on the ground, striving to open his eyes to stare at the motionless black snake. He thought that it was only his delusion.Siming stood on the platform as if a monarch arrived at her territory. She looked at everything that was happening under the platform. Those summoned spirits were merely tools to take in the power in her eyes. Their lives were decided by her instant thought.The master of the godly state had long been dead. She was no longer second only to one.After today
Yechu trekked across the snowfield. His rough cape was stained with the holy golden radiance unknowingly. His long hair was tied up, making him look like an extremely handsome young man. On his flawless face, one of his pupils was bright and the other dark, seeming to symbolize the rotating Yin and Yang.The Divine Records of Sura was running nonstop in his body. Every cosmic orbit it circulated, the holy radiance in his pupils would grow richer.Last night, when he went away, he left a note for Ning Changjiu at the last minute.He gave up killing Ning Changjiu.For one thing, as long as his plan went well, Ning Changjiu’s living or dying wouldn’t affect the big picture. For another, according to Ning Changjiu’s cultivation progress, he should have suffered Qi deviation but he was still unscathed and could talk in a jovial mood as usual. Such being the case, Yechu guessed that Ning Changjiu might have seen through the loopho
The explosion spread rapidly in the shape of a huge annular flame. The whole sky was illumined with the doomsday-like red color. The loud sound and violent air billows rose and whistled down with the overturning momentum just like the flood that broke through the bank.Even though it was far away, the loud rumbling sound still came with the heat. Both the residents of Duanjie City and the villagers could feel the scorching heat blown onto their faces. They all scattered after a short daze. The noises seemed like the crackling sound in the flame.For thousands of years, the sky here was only turbidly white and stickily black. Today, it had the third color.Above Duanjie City, the golden cross was colored red. Siming was nailed up there. Her white dress and silver hair were both as red as blood, similar to the camellia which was about to wither in the dusk.On the end of the cross, the black raven shrieked at the sky, causing
It was four days after that battle when Ning Changjiu met Yechu again.A withered shooting star flew across the sky into the depths of the wilderness. After noticing that, Ning Changjiu immediately rushed to the depths of the wilderness with his dry branch and sword. Having crossed a marsh permeated with venomous fogs, he found Yechu on the tilted straws in a valley that took the shape of a broken scallop.Yechu was currently a shattered puppet. His arms were both darkly charred with the cracks in the pattern of the wooden grating. They looked like several firewood logs put together on his body. He hung on the stone wall alone. Those threads of destiny that pierced through his body were mostly burned off, which hung on the rocks roughly, making him look like a spider that had suffered the big fire in the forest.When Ning Changjiu arrived, Yechu raised his head. His face without sense organs was even beyond recognition. Half of it was da
In the center of the royal city, the platform was simply built. Several dilapidated buildings were tilted. Under those well-reserved buildings, many refugees got together, talking and sighing. They looked at the stage from time to time.The half-ruined imperial city displayed signs of bleakness. Temporary shacks were here and there. Those cultivators were clearing the ruins. Many corpses buried for several days were cleared with bricks and wooden logs. The flesh was stuck to the wooden logs and generated a stench, which couldn’t be ripped off regardless.The stage was the only brightness in the city.Shao Xiaoli was wearing a red embroidered dress. Together with several young girls, she arrived backstage. While cursing Siming with a sense of revulsion, the people backstage were sighing about the natural disaster. Upon seeing Shao Xiaoli, many people were amazed and all got together. They were really glad about this beautiful flower which
Siming’s cold eyes twitched. Amidst the silver hair, the discernible earlobes glowed with the amber-like rosiness. Her left cheek was swollen. That night, she gave Shao Xiaoli a slap. Now, karma was back. She was captured. And Shao Xiaoli just returned what she had suffered to Siming manyfold.Just like raindrops dripping into the boiling oil, the clear slaps caused an uproar among the crowd. They had left the fear behind. They only felt as if their internal organs were torn off. The rich sentiments in their hearts turned into sticky slime, gushed out, and conveyed to their limbs, giving off the dizzying sense of scorching.They watched the fierce black snake bit its tail in a fog and start to eat its body. Then, they saw that the beautiful girl, as legend went, traveled by sword, came to the evil woman and slapped Siming’s flawless face harshly.The slapping sound kept reverberating in the city. It couldn’t be drowned no matter how enth
