Chapter 3662: Sword Fighting Across the Realm (1)
Ning Shu practiced the power of soul attacks and using her ordinance.
Training back and forth, this old lady is going to ascend to heaven!
Ning Shu started a circle of practicing for a while, then resting for a while, before starting to practice again… She quickly was becoming increasingly proficient.
"Let's go do a task now," Ning Shu said to 2333. "I can see the entrustor now, right?"
"You can," 2333 said. "However, you must pay attention to your reincarnation world. If it sucks away a person's soul, you will just be waiting for death."
"Uh-huh?" Ning Shu raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
"The reincarnation world devouring souls is an instinct. Have you completely controlled the reincarnation world? What if it devours the entrustor's soul?" 2333 said.
Ning Shu: …
"It shouldn't go that far, right?" Ning Shu said uncertainly. She felt she could control the reincarnation world, right, right, right…
Alright, she wasn't entirely sure. She seemed to not have completely controlled the reincarnation world.
"Then wait a moment. Wait until I have completely mastered the reincarnation world."
Ning Shu drilled into the black hole and disappeared from the system space.
2333: …Psycho!
Ning Shu walked in the black desert and released her spiritual consiousness to inspect the entire world. However, the world was a bit large. It would be somewhat difficult for Ning Shu to inspect its every nook and cranny.
Moreover, it seemed this world was still slowly expanding.
Ning Shu extracted a few threads of soul origin from her own soul. She feared that just one thread of soul origin would simply be insufficient to control such a massive world, so she might as well get a bit more soul origin to control it.
She would make this reincarnation world become a part of herself.
Ning Shu opened her hand. The few threads of soul origin floated up, flew into the sky, and merged with the reincarnation world.
This world was too large and too desolate. There was nothing at all.
There should be plants capable of surviving in the reincarnation world. She would see if she could exchange for some of this kind of thing and plant them in this dead and silent world.
If that truly didn't work, she would just sell the flowers of the reincarnation world in the future. Come buy them, flowers of the underworld, they drink human blood and can produce hallucinations, simply fantastic.
Ning Shu exited the black hole and opened the system exchange marketplace. She exchanged for some fasting pills and medicine, then browsed the pages to see if there were any seeds for flowers to plant in the reincarnation world.
Finally, in a hidden nook, Ning Shu actually saw some seeds. There were also pictures of the fresh flowers. They looked a bit like spider lilies, but they were even bloodier than spider lilies. Looking at them was quite thrilling.
"Do not mess with these things. Living organisms will all compete for the world's energy. Furthermore, whether your world has actually fused or not is still uncertain. Therefore, do not plant flowers. It is best to have nothing affecting the fusion of the plane," 2333 reminded her. "Of course, you can just treat my words as a fart."
"Oh, you are farting."
Ning Shu didn't buy the flowers. She would let the reincarnation world slowly reincarnate and slowly evolve.
"Let's go do a task then." Whether she could see the entrustor in advance didn't matter much. The important thing was being able to complete the task.
"Oh, are you going to do a system task?" 2333 asked Ning Shu. That question had become 2333's catchphrase. What if she actually did one?
Ning Shu thought for a moment. "Let's go with a simpler one. The last world was too tiring. My legs almost broke from running, so I don’t want to be too tired in this world."
Doing system tasks was quite tiring because she had to oppose a system. That kind of cheat was very powerful.
2333: Oh…
"The task needs to be simple…"
Before Ning Shu could finish her sentence, she was roughly flipped away by 2333 and left the system space.
Ning Shu: 凸(艹皿艹)
Obvious retaliation. This was retaliation!
She needed to lock 2333 in the reincarnation world to reflect, to face the wall and ponder his mistakes. He could go reflect while facing the black desert.
"Eldest Senior Brother, watch out."
Just as Ning Shu's soul merged into the body, a crisp female voice rang in her ears.
Ning Shu opened her eyes and saw a snow-bright sword thrusting toward her face. As a conditioned reflex, Ning Shu lifted the sword in her hand. With a ding, the two snow-bright swords let out an ear-piercing sound as the two figures brushed past each other.
Ning Shu withdrew her sword stance and looked at the girl opposite her. A flash of stunning amazement crossed eyes. This girl had skin like creamy jade and picturesque features. She wore no makeup, and her hair was simply tied up with a ribbon. Wearing a light green dress, holding a sword, and executing sword flourishes, she looked incredibly beautiful.
She appeared to have a quirky and mischievous personality. "Eldest Senior Brother, watch my move."
Eldest Senior Brother!?
Oh, hehe…
Ning Shu hurriedly cupped her hands. "Junior Sister, you win."
"Eldest Senior Brother, you did that on purpose. You let me win again." The girl in green couldn't help but stomp her foot. "I am not fighting you anymore. I am going to find my other senior brothers to fight."
The girl in green had excellent lightness skill. She flew away in a flash. Her posture was graceful, and she looked just like a fairy from the highest heavens.
She truly was a beautiful girl.
Ning Shu sheathed her sword. It seemed she had arrived in a wuxia—martial arts—world this time, and was a swordsmaster.
Ning Shu sat down in the pavilion and then began to receive the storyline.
The entrustor was named Chong Xuefeng, the head disciple of the Wanjian Manor. The person crossing swords with Chong Xuefeng just now was his junior sister, Qin Nianzhi, who ranked near the top of the martial world's beauty list.
That glimpse of her graceful bearing just now proved she truly lived up to the title of a martial world beauty. The name Nianzhi was given because Qin Nianzhi's mother died of difficult labor while giving birth to her. The master of the Wanjian Manor, Qin Song, gave the child this name to mourn his deceased wife, and Qin Song never remarried for the rest of his life.
The entrustor, Chong Xuefeng, was the most outstanding person among this generation of disciples and the finest swordsman of the Wanjian Manor. He was also handsome, and with eyebrows slanting sharply toward his temples and a straight nose, he looked exactly like a righteous gentleman.
Chong Xuefeng was Qin Nianzhi's betrothed. If nothing unexpected happened, Chong Xuefeng would be the master of the Wanjian Manor in the future.
In reverse, he was also Qin Nianzhi's betrothed.
However, Qin Nianzhi seemed somewhat unawakened to love. No matter how much Chong Xuefeng cared for her, she had no romantic feelings for him. At most, it was the affection between childhood friends who were like brother and sister.
Being in the martial world, how could one not venture out? Chong Xuefeng wanted to leave the sect and travel the martial world, but the quirky and mischievous Qin Nianzhi insisted on following along, kicking up a fuss and demanding to go with him.
Alright, let's go then.
This trip turned out to be incredibly miserable.
Qin Nianzhi was the type of person who loved to fight against injustice, but Chong Xuefeng was the one who resolved all the issues. When encountering someone selling themselves to bury a parent, she would generously give money, and ultimately ended up being targeted by people instead.
She even wandered recklessly into brothels. Did she really think that just because she wore men's clothing, others wouldn't be able to recognize her?
Anyway, the journey was full of chaos and turmoil, which was truly exasperating.
Chong Xuefeng trailed behind to clean up her messes.
Until they met Situ Xun. This Situ Xun did both righteous and evil things. He was a particularly charismatic person and found an opportunity to strike up a conversation with Qin Nianzhi.
Qin Nianzhi was naive. The more she chatted with Situ Xun, the better they got along. She even dragged Chong Xuefeng to become sworn brothers with Situ Xun. Her own fooling around was one thing, but she also had to drag Chong Xuefeng into it. Chong Xuefeng was going to inherit the Wanjian Manor in the future.
How could becoming sworn brothers be treated so casually? Martial world loyalty, martial world loyalty! If something happened to the other party, one would have to climb mountains of swords and cross seas of fire to help. Otherwise, it would be considered disloyal, and how could one survive in the martial world then?
