Chapter 87 The Old Grudge
Ning Xiaoling held him tightly in fright. After being in a daze, she finally remembered that she was a cultivator at the Immortal Realm now. She could have easily dodged such a short arrow as long as she set up a barrier with her spiritual power for a moment.
Nevertheless, she was too frightened to make any reaction at that time.
Now, holding Ning Changjiu’s waist, she was a bit ashamed and embarrassed, stuck in a pickle.
Ning Changjiu took a casual look at the arrow stabbed in the wall and patted Ning Xiaoling’s back, signaling to her to loosen her hands.
Ning Xiaoling immediately took the hint and released her arms, saying with worry, “Changjiu, be careful!”
Without saying much, Ning Changjiu went into the room again.
The moment he set his foot, the whoosh of the arrow came at him from the darkness again. Before the arrow got out of the bow, Ning Changjiu had sensed where the arrow was heading. Th

Demons in the universe and the living ghosts in the secular world.The former was easy to understand and the latter certainly meant the brute of a man like Ning Qinshui.Shubai could manage to understand but he was still puzzled.“You cultivators are hypocrites...” His voice was feeble.Without saying much, Ning Changjiu simply asked, “You’ve stayed here for more than a month?”Shubai said, “Emm.”Ning Changjiu asked, “What about your master?”Shubai said, “If Ning Qinshui still didn’t come back about midnight, I would go back to check on my master.”Ning Changjiu asked, “What do you usually eat?”Shubai said grumpily, “There is rice in the house and I have hands. Can I be starved to death?”Ning Changjiu looked at his thin body and his spine could be clearly seen through the thin clothes, which looked like a bone snake wigging on his spine.

Ning Changjiu unbolted the door, causing the dust to drop. After the door was opened, an old woman with a stick was found standing outside.The old woman had grey hair and a haggard face. She was thin and stooped slightly. Her cheekbones were prominent and the corners of her lips were a bit saggy. The wrinkles on her dry face just looked like the creases of the lotus leaves.She raised her head and stared at the young man in white with whitish and turbid eyes, saying tremblingly, “Is Mr. Ning back?”Ning Changjiu looked at her and couldn’t think of who she was. Hence, he simply answered, “No.”A disappointed look crossed the woman’s face. She said, “Oh... I saw smoke going out of the chimney so I thought Mr. Ning was back...”Ning Changjiu asked, “What’s the matter?”The old woman looked him up and down, asking, “You are the disciple of Mr. Ning?”Ning Changjiu said, “Yes, I can tell hi

“Do you know what a drink in the company of sing-song girls means?” Ning Changjiu replied with a question.Ning Xiaoling was rolling a copper coin among her fingers and said with a smile, “Of course I do. It means drinking in the brothel, paying the women to sing and dance, and then having a beauty to spend the night. Ouch...”Ning Xiaoling covered her head and Ning Changjiu withdrew his hand that knocked her head, saying with a smile, “You’ve learned so much!”Ning Xiaoling said in grief, “I heard it from several fellow disciples of the peak. They claimed to go to the brothel for a drink, saying that immortal cultivators would be treated well in the brothels. They won’t need to pay a lot.”Ning Changjiu said meaningfully, “Don’t listen to those fellow disciples chat anymore. They will contaminate your mind. You must learn more from me or Master Jiajia.”“Oh,” Ning Xiaoling intoned, elongating the word.
Beyond the Divine States Chapter 91 Prior to New Year’s Eve
Shubai sat on a stool and ate two bowls of rice.Thin as he was, he had a good appetite. Yet, he only gained strength rather than fat.After eating the meal, Shubai knocked on the edge of the bowl with the chopsticks, sitting absent-mindedly and staring at the compass. He remembered that the young man in white took money from the compass before. His eyes got gloomy. He was wondering whether the man would be afraid of him taking away all the money and then burning the house.Or... He was staring at me somewhere.Shubai looked around with vigilance. There seemed to be a sharp knife shivering in his heart. With his ears slightly twitching, he sniffed and wanted to search for some clues. Meanwhile, he moved towards the direction of the compass, put his fingers on it and twisted it. Surprisingly, he found it was loose.He twisted in a reverse direction. With a click, the mechanism buckle was unlocked.Sh

“Changjiu... We lost one pouch of money today but it was because you trusted the wrong person. Just take it as a lesson. But now... why do you buy so many ‘lessons’? This porcelain jar is still fine. The painting of the figure setting the firecrackers is quite cute but this porcelain figurine... The green clothes and the cheek color... Maybe it has been on the shelf for even ten years. And you bought it?”Ning Xiaoling pointed at the things on the table angrily. She stared at her fellow disciple with an air of fury mixed with confusion and pity.Just now, Ning Changjiu suddenly asked her for a considerable sum of money to buy some curiosities and antiques. Ning Xiaoling figured he must be able to buy some profitable things with his keen eye so she approved his request without thinking much.However...Ning Xiaoling was checking the things on the table. When she saw the porcelain figurine of a dancing girl in green with red c
Beyond the Divine States Chapter 93 The Bones Didn’t Get Old
In the early morning, the Sha Water of Linhe City was enshrouded with faint cold mist.From the direction of the long street, it could be found that the widest and longest street in the middle of the city formed a line with the bridge. The red lanterns hung on both sides of the streets were not lit up, which were asleep with the ancient city in the early morning.Ning Xiaoling still lived two doors away from Ning Changjiu as before. When Ning Xiaoling got up, she saw him sitting outside on a chair with his eyes closed. He looked as if asleep.Ning Xiaoling brought a quilt and threw it to him, saying grumpily, “Cover yourself with the quilt. We’ve spent so much money. If you get a cold, we cannot afford to let you see a doctor.”Ning Changjiu wanted to nap for another while and seek a shimmer of lucky chance in light of the traces of the past life. Now that he was woken up by Ning Xiaoling, a hint of hard-to-get inspiration w
Beyond the Divine States Chapter 94 The Night Before
At night, Ning Xiaoling leaned over the table, counting the copper coins one by one. With his head rested on her arm, she stared at Ning Changjiu and asked, “Changjiu, aren’t you really going to meet Xiang’er?”Ning Changjiu said, “Why would I meet Zhao Xiang’er? After ascending the throne, she may be supercilious now. Probably, she has forgotten her poor friends like us.”Ning Xiaoling chuckled and didn’t believe him at all.Ning Changjiu stayed silent for a while and then made a concession, “Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve. If nothing happens tonight, we will go then.”Ning Xiaoling asked, “What can happen?”Ning Changjiu bantered, “I’m concerned about my country and people. What do you know?”Ning Xiaoling grinned perfunctorily, “Okay. Okay. Okay. You are the best.”Ning Changjiu ignored the girl’s perfunctory reply and then asked, “Today is the Preliminary Eve. Would you like to go out f
