Chapter 2348: Like the Deep, Dark Sky
His eyes were like the deep, dark sky.
From Yi Liang’s pupils, Ning Shu saw… her pitch black self.
Ning Shu whimpered and tried to speak, but humans and animals had different pronunciation systems.
Ning Shu couldn’t even straighten her long tongue.
Fables were really such a big, fat lie. With such a long tongue hanging on the outside, and such a long mouth, with lips that extended to the neck, how could an animal possibly pronounce anything?
Ning Shu felt that it would be very difficult for her to become a human being. The cultivation of spirits and monsters wasn’t easy, and the tribulation trial was too difficult.
Ning Shu thought about it and decided to practice ventriloquism. She must communicate with Yi Liang, after all.
If things went on like this, Yi Liang would never be able to fight back against anyone.
Ning Shu went out to see if there was anything to eat. The more she walked into the forest, the more animals there were.
It was too dangerous inside the forest. Except for cultivators who have the ability to protect themselves, it was a little dangerous for ordinary hunters or people to enter it.
Ning Shu wanted to get some game, but there was no fire, and she didn’t know if she could drill wood to make a fire.
Moreover, it was now icy and snowy, and the firewood and grass were all wet.
Ning Shu had no choice but to hope for some fruit.
But what fruit could be found in this ice and snow?
Ning Shu jumped into the stream in front of her and washed all the dirt off her body.
She was surrounded by white snow. It’d be best to match the color of the surrounding environment.
Ning Shu went ashore and shook the water off her body.
Ning Shu: …
This damn instinct!!
Ning Shu wandered around, but still didn’t see anything to eat.
However, on the edge of a cliff, she found a fiery red fruit.
Despite the weather, there was absolutely no snow next to this fruit tree. Even if snowflakes fell near it, they would melt quickly.
Ning Shu faintly felt the heat radiating from it.
This was a good thing. This kind of thing looked like a very precious treasure. Maybe eating it could increase one’s cultivation.
“Senior Brother, that’s the flame fruit.” Ning Shu heard the sound coming closer and quickly hid. She saw three cultivators flying with swords.
They were three young cultivators.
Those three were standing on top of their flying swords. It seemed that they weren’t weak.
Ning Shu stared at the thing called flame fruit, calculating in her mind how likely she was to get the flame fruit.
10%… Not even that.
Before, when she was dealing with some ordinary people, she was already a little powerless. She had no chance against three cultivators.
“Sure enough, it is a flame fruit. We could temper our spiritual roots with the flame fruit.” One of the cultivators’ voices was filled with uncontrollable excitement. “I could never imagine that this small place actually had a flame fruit.”
Ning Shu heard that it could temper spiritual roots, which means that this thing could burn the impurities in the body.
That was really a good thing. Ning Shu stared at the fruit, nearly drooling as she did that.
However, there were four fruits. The three of them could each share one.
Ning Shu’s heart was itching with desire. If Yi Liang could eat one of these fruits… If Yi Liang had spiritual roots, it’d be able to penetrate the spiritual roots. Even if there was no spiritual root, the impurities in the body would be burned. Yi Liang’s muscles and veins would be fully opened, so his Unsurpassable Martial Arts cultivation would surely go at a flying pace.
Ning Shu didn’t dare to go out hastily, though. If she did go out, she would definitely be killed in seconds. If they could fly with a sword, they most probably weren’t weaklings.
But she wasn’t willing to give up the flame fruit.
Ning Shu stood by to see if there was a chance to steal one.
