In the darkness, the whole imperial city appeared extremely silent.
The shocking incident happening in the long street before only caused a sensation on a small scale, which didn’t affect a large area. Many people were still immersed in the joy of surviving the calamity. The corpses outside the imperial preceptor’s mansion had been cleanly dealt with. The assassins on the list of the state of Jin were either dead or injured. It could be imagined that the assassination organization of the state of Jin would have the succession problem for a long time from now on.
The imperial city was very big. The surrounding inkstone mountains were towering and foursquare, just like a huge palm holding up the ancient city.
Thanks to the continuous chaos caused by the war, even in the imperial city, quite some people secretly migrated to the other states, leaving a lot of mansions empty. According to the folk legend, once the mansion was abandoned, the antique
The sedan came from the grey mist. So did the joy and laughter.As the cold wind billowed the curtain, Ning Changjiu just didn’t turn his gaze away. The face was quite childish and the girl looked like a 7-year-old or 8-year-old. However, young as she was, she still put on a light makeup with a bit of red eye shadow applied to the corners of her eyes and three spot marks between the eyebrows, which seemed like the stamen in spring.The sedan curtain dropped quickly. Ning Changjiu stared at the sedan going away and furrowed his brows.That was Ning Xiaoling.The elegance between her eyebrows was not Ning Xiaoling; the delicate makeup on the face was not Ning Xiaoling, and the luxurious clothes embroidered with the pattern of dancing phoenix were not Ning Xiaoling.However, he was sure that the girl was Ning Xiaoling.He followed the sedan then.The sedan was heading towards another mansion, whi
The little girl’s tears froze on her face. She raised her head and put on a cold look.“I’m not your fellow disciple,” Ning Xiaoling stormed. “Get the new clothes back to me!”Ning Changjiu said, “Come back with me and I will give you the new ones.”Ning Xiaoling shrugged his hands off her wrists, saying, “You liar! Scholars are all liars...”Then, she struck a heavy punch at Ning Changjiu’s chest, sending him flying away. He was thrown on the snowfield. With a whoosh, the snowflakes sprinkled around and his body sank in the snow.Ning Changjiu got himself out of the snow. He was somewhat delighted rather than angry.Ning Xiaoling was shocked instead. Looking at her hand, she was astounded by her strength. For the moment, she was at a loss.She stared at the young man in white and opened her mouth, trying to speak something but still holding her tongue.Now, a child’s voice sudden
In the extreme darkness, the light shone in bit by bit.That was the slightly flickering candlelight.The light orange halo around the candlelight faded away like faint mist, enveloping the ordinary room. The room was made of wood and the dark brown wooden frame was somewhat old. The spider nets hung in the house were well cleaned. The dishes on the table were covered by the bamboo-made cover. A little girl who was seven or eight years old was leaning over the table, swinging her legs and discontentedly watching a boy sitting on the threshold and eating the fruit.Ning Changjiu immediately recognized that the boy was her younger brother.Whipping the bamboo mat by the door, her mother was talking to her brother while he was listening absent-mindedly.Her father was slashing the firewood. He looked quite strong without any old appearance.The family was not rich but supposedly, they lived a good life in the
Watched by the green eyes, Ning Xiaoling felt extremely frightened and couldn’t move her limbs at all.It hadn’t approached her but Ning Xiaoling could imagine how it felt to be slit and torn apart by its sharp claws.Before it really leaped, her mind was occupied with the scene where the corpses were torn apart and badly mutilated here and there on the ground. She could even faintly smell the undispersed blood smell in the air. When death was approaching, she suddenly felt the moment was so real.Dawn hadn’t broken. The night was still not over....Tonight, Ning Changjiu tried to kill a lot of mountain spirits. In his eyes, the mountain spirits were quite weak indeed, which were evil spirits at the initial stage of the Profound Realm. Moreover, this was the illusory world of the inner demon. It was much easier to kill them.However, when the last mountain spirit sprang at Ning Xiaoling, he tried to slash
When Ning Changjiu walked out of the room, the snow in this world started to melt.It was spring now. The snow was not real snow but the coldness in her heart.“Why do you want to kill me?”The splendor of spring shone through the increasingly thin snow. A voice came slowly through the snowstorm. It was hard to tell where the voice came from.That was the question asked by the seed of fox spirit.The inner demon tribulation was not about the realm but the heart, so the evil seed wanted to kill him when Ning Changjiu pointed at Ning Xiaoling between her eyebrows.However, it didn’t take action in the end.Because it only caught sight of the horrid darkness after searching into Ning Changjiu’s consciousness. All the conscious lights cast there were swallowed.It had never seen such a sea of consciousness, which didn’t seem like a sea anymore but the infinite starry sky.
The silence in the temple was broken.Holding a wand, an old abbot walked out and looked at the thunderbolts with a stern face, his lips slightly trembling.The little monk next to him was looking at the sky with a worried look. The extremely dark clouds gathered in the sky as if a storm was brewing. Associating with what happened in the imperial city, he asked worriedly, “Master, is there any demon at work?”The abbot twisted the wand slowly and immediately said, “Wake up everybody and evacuate them first. I will go to start the temple’s formation!”“Yes, Master.” The little monk was leaving under orders.A voice suddenly came, “No need.”In the dark and depressive evening, a petite figure with fierce murderous intent walked over, whose black outfit just perfectly displayed her curvy body shape. Her straight legs were slim and tight, and her footsteps were noiseless. Meanwhile, her black hair swept back i
The thunderous clouds as heavy as mountains roamed as if giving birth to a baby. Flashes of thunderous light just like balls or dragons and serpents kept striking, rendering the air around full of sizzling electricity.However, Ning Changjiu couldn’t hear anything. He was not sure whether his eardrums had been burst or all the sounds were blocked by something.Surprisingly, the dull and honest self of Ning Changjiu spoke first, “You must be kind to Xiaoling all the time.”Ning Changjiu, with his mouth half-opened, wanted to say something but he felt his throat was scratchy and just couldn’t utter any word.He suddenly realized that it was because two souls of his left the body that his body felt so light.The two souls had hidden in the depths of his consciousness. As a result, Ning Changjiu had three souls in his body mysteriously but this kind of situation was not allowed by the universe. Maybe this was the real reas
“Zhao Xiang’er...”Ning Changjiu thought of her name and called her feebly. Finally, his lifted hand dropped on the soft bed languidly.Zhao Xiang’er put her hand behind the neck and gathered up the somewhat wet long hair. She had just taken a bath. Now, she was wearing a dark dragon robe embroidered with golden silk. Her eyes were pretty and clean without any makeup. The air also faintly smelt like grasses and trees.The young girl put down the pen and slowly walked to the bed. Across the white silk bed curtain, she made a gesture of pinching the neck and said in a low voice, “You dare to call my name when you just wake up. It seems that you want to sleep a bit longer?”Ning Changjiu was adjusting his breath. He was not in the mood to banter with the young girl. He was trying his best to feel his body and confirm whether it was fine.As he didn’t answer, Zhao Xiang’er raised her eyebrows. Then, she lifted the curtain
