Using all his strength, he managed to break free from the suppression of his breath and turned his body slightly. The sharp blade passed through his cheek, leaving a trace of blood.
Although she tried her best to dodge, her face and arms were still slightly injured. The wound didn't look big, but the pain hit her heart in an instant, and Ling'er gasped in pain.
Hiss~It hurts.
The wound felt like it was on fire, and as if millions of ants were crawling over it. It was burning and itchy. The pain is hard to describe unless you experience it yourself.
What the hell is this? It's like... It's like it's poisonous.
"You are the first person to experience this old man's spiritual poison."
Spiritual poison is the use of some method to integrate poisonous elements into spiritual power. This move is despised by righteous people, so it is considered a taboo on the dream island bathed in divine light. The old man in black robe also practiced it secretly to save his life in critical moments, so no one knew about it. Because those who have seen it are no longer in the world.
"You seem to be so timid and cowardly every day, and you really are a pervert. You have practiced such a vicious move, and you are still tolerated on this island. You are really shameless."
She couldn't beat him, but she couldn't die of frustration. He couldn't control her talking nonsense, and people would only reveal their flaws when they were irritated. She had no other choice but to take a risky move and give it a try.
"I'm too lazy to waste time talking to you. I hope you can still be so sharp-tongued on the road to the underworld." The old man in black robe jumped into the air and stretched out his hands horizontally, then extended them to both sides. A huge ball of light appeared on his palms and kept spinning on the spot.
It was a fireball containing the power of thunder and lightning. I didn't expect that this old guy had such a good talent and possessed several kinds of elemental powers. No wonder he could be so arrogant.
Master, you can't withstand this attack.
Shushu's anxious voice sounded, and then his true form suddenly appeared.
The old man saw a book suddenly fly out from Ling'er's body, and then it kept getting bigger and bigger until it completely covered Ling'er's figure.
"Shushu, what are you doing? Come back!" In his current state, he couldn't withstand this attack at all. Ling'er looked at Shushu who didn't answer her at all, and she was very anxious. She tried desperately to call Shushu back, but it was too late. She just watched the fireball fall on Shushu.
Shushu seemed to be fine, except that he had grown a little bigger. But before Ling'er could be happy for three seconds, she saw Shushu's body slowly burning.
“Shushu!”
Ling'er struggled to move forward, but heard Shushu's voice again: Don't worry about me, this book has no entity, and after burning, I will just fall into a deep sleep, I won't die. As long as you practice well, I will wake up when your spiritual power is strong. There is always a way to save the mountains, don't be brave for a moment and sacrifice yourself.
At this moment, Xiao Zi, who realized Ling'er was in danger, also rushed over. He directly pulled Ling'er and disappeared on the spot.
Shushu emitted a blinding light while burning, and the people present couldn't open their eyes at all. By the time they came to their senses, Ling'er had already disappeared.
"Damn it! I let this damn girl get away again! Pass on my order to hunt this girl down. As long as you catch her alive or dead, you will get a bottle of Yang Shen Pill!"
This reward made everyone's eyes light up. The Yang Shen Pill is very precious. Just one pill can instantly improve one year's cultivation. The elder promised one bottle, one bottle. If this task can be completed, it will be a step to heaven.
After thinking about it, they all turned around and left the place...
After running for an unknown distance, Ling'er finally broke free from Xiao Zi's magic. She turned around and was about to go back, but was grabbed by Xiao Zi.
"Master, it's too late for you to go back now. You might even get yourself killed." Who knows if those bad guys have left. "If you run into them again when you go back, then everything Shushu has done will be in vain."
As soon as she heard Shushu, Ling'er stopped.
Shushu? Shushu? Are you there? Are you okay
She kept calling out in her heart, but never received any response, as if he had never appeared in her consciousness.
Ling'er was a little anxious and sensed it again.
Shushu? Shushu! Speak up! Come out now! If you don’t come out, I will...
She originally wanted to say that she was going to burn the pages of the book, but when she thought of the burning appearance of the book when she left, she couldn't say it.
In the past, she always used this method to scare him, and he would give in every time, which showed that he was really afraid of fire. Shushu, who was so afraid of fire, actually used his body to block the big fireball in order to save her.
How scared he must have been at that time.
When she thought of this, tears rolled down Ling'er's eyes.
"Shushu, what's wrong with you now? Where are you? Just answer me, and I promise that I will never bully you again, or threaten you to burn you. Just say something, okay... Shushu..."
Looking at Ling'er with tears in her eyes, Xiao Zi didn't know how to comfort his master, and he cried uncontrollably. At that time, he only wanted to get his master out of danger, but he didn't consider what would happen to the book. If something really happened to it, he would have to bear a large part of the responsibility.
"Master, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. My cultivation is too low and I don't have the ability to protect you. Master, don't be sad. If you are really angry, just... just hit me."
Ling'er kept summoning Shushu, but there was still no response.
"Xiao Zi, go back to the contract space and see if Shu Shu's real body is still there."
"Good Master."
After Xiao Zi returned to the space, he searched everywhere where Shushu often stood, but he didn't see Shushu. Just when he was worrying about how to tell Ling'er the news, a white light flashed, and a shadowy figure slowly appeared.
"Shushu?"
Although it looks a bit transparent, it is indeed Shushu's appearance. So he is still alive, right
Xiao Zi immediately stepped forward and wanted to hug Shu Shu, but her body went straight through him. She looked back curiously, and Shu Shu's transparent shadow was still there, looming.
"Shushu? Shushu, is that you?" Xiao Zi slowly approached, and then tried to reach out and touch it. But her finger still passed through. This isn't a physical entity
"Xiao Zi, have you found Shushu? Answer me?" Ling'er asked anxiously.
"Found it." But he didn't quite understand what was going on. How should he tell his master
When she heard that Shushu was still alive, Ling'er showed joy on her face. As long as he was still alive, there was hope. No matter what kind of trauma he had suffered, no matter what method was used, as long as there was hope, she would definitely make him recover.
Wiping the tears from her eyes, Ling'er was very excited. "Xiao Zi, how is Shushu now? Ask him why I can't sense his existence? Is he injured? Does he need any medicinal herbs? Or does he need any rare treasures? As long as he tells me, I will find them for him even at the ends of the earth!"
"He..." Xiao Zi didn't know whether he should tell his master about Shushu's situation. But if he didn't tell his master, he might be even more anxious. After thinking about it, he decided to tell him.
"Shushu is here, but I don't know what happened to him. His body has become very transparent, looming, and feels not real. I can't touch him at all. He didn't respond when I talked to him, and I don't know what's going on. But master, don't worry, didn't Shushu tell you before that he will fall into a deep sleep, and he will wake up after a while when your cultivation level is higher. Maybe he is just asleep..."
Ling'er's heart ached for a moment, but then she changed her mind and thought that as long as Shushu was still alive, it would be better than... Never mind those bad things. By the way, Shushu seemed to have said that as long as her cultivation reached a certain level, he would wake up.
"Xiao Zi, I will transfer some of my spiritual power to you now. Input it into Shu Shu's body and see if there are any changes in him."
"Good Master."
Ling'er concentrated her mind and mobilized the spiritual power in her body. Xiao Zi felt the spiritual power surge, and then placed her palm on Shu Shu's virtual body. The purple spiritual power entered Shu Shu's body little by little, but there was no change.
"How is it, Xiao Zi, has Shushu changed?" If she was right, this should be useful.
Xiao Zi shook her head and was about to tell Ling'er that it was useless when she suddenly saw something.
"Master, Master, it seems... it seems to have changed..."
"What changed? Are you talking about Shushu?"
"Yes, he has changed. He seems to have become clearer."
Ling'er was overjoyed and a smile appeared on her face. She had guessed it right.
"Go on." Ling'er said, gathering her spiritual power again and transferring it into Shushu's body, as if she expected to hear Shushu's pretentious tone the next moment.
Because she had used too much spiritual power, Ling'er's face gradually turned pale, and sweat oozed from her forehead. Her body seemed to be unable to support it, but she had no intention of stopping.
Xiao Zi is Ling'er's contracted beast. He can clearly sense the changes in Ling'er's body and immediately speaks up to stop it.
"Master, you can't go on. Your body won't be able to take it."
"It's okay, I think I'm fine. Treating Shushu is more important now. At worst, I can take a few more spiritual energy-replenishing herbs later. It's not a big deal." Although she said this, her body was betraying her. At this moment, she felt that she could hardly stand. Her body was shaking slightly and her face was pale. She was sweating more and more. There was no other way. She could only take some spiritual energy-replenishing pills. But even so, she still felt that she couldn't hold on any longer.
Shushu absorbed the spiritual power, and its originally transparent body became clear, and some pages of the book became tangible entities. However, this had exhausted all of Ling'er's spiritual power.
Xiao Zi forcibly interrupted the spiritual energy input and spat out a mouthful of blood on the ground. He didn't have time to wipe it off and hurried out.
"Master, are you okay? If you continue like this, your spiritual power will be exhausted and you will die!"
Ling'er shook her head weakly, smiled and said, "I'm fine, it's okay. The most important thing right now is Shushu. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will definitely make him recover." After that, she raised her hand again and tried to use Ling'er, but before she started, she was stopped by Xiao Zi.
"Master, you can't go on. Look at your own face, it's so pale. Even if you use up all your spiritual power, you can't save Shushu. Didn't Shushu say that you need to improve your cultivation? Since Shushu said so, it means that with your current cultivation level, you can't wake him up at all. Moreover, after he made a contract with you, he is one with you. If anything happens to you, he won't be better off. Master, can't you understand such a simple truth!" It's true that he is worried and confused.
Xiao Zi's words were like a slap in the face, waking Ling'er up in an instant. Yes, she only thought about saving Shushu, but forgot how many lives were closely connected to her. It didn't matter if she died, but what should they do
He took out the treasures he had brought with him and ate some, then closed his eyes and began to regulate his breathing. His pale face gradually regained its rosy color, and his breathing became smoother. Seeing Ling'er getting better, Xiao Zi finally let go of the worry in his heart.
"Let's go." Ling'er had opened her eyes at some point, stood up and continued walking towards where they lived. Xiao Zi hurried to follow.
In the Wind Valley, in an elegant courtyard, a woman wearing a gold and silver thread dress and a colorful phoenix hairpin on her head, looked extremely noble.
"Miss, it's windy, be careful not to catch a cold." Chunying came over from not far away, holding a cloak in her hand and put it on the woman. Yes, this woman was none other than Mo Lingling.
"Today is the day for you to return to your roots, you must not catch a cold." Looking at her young lady, Chunying felt a sense of pride. She felt that she was a lucky maid who followed the right master. The status of the young lady was getting higher and higher, and she also benefited from it.
"Your lady's body is not that delicate." After all, she is a spiritual cultivator, and she has achieved her current level of cultivation by struggling through hardships. There is no such thing as easy glory in the world, she just hides all the suffering she has endured.
The lights were on and people from all sides came to congratulate him. Today was the introduction meeting that Fenggu Valley Master had prepared for Mo Lingling. On the one hand, it was to announce that Mo Lingling was his daughter, and on the other hand, it was to make Mo Ling familiar to the elders.
Almost all the important figures on Dream Island were invited, and the master of Lingxi Palace was specially invited.
Because the Palace Master is Mo Lingling's master, although he knew that Mo Ling had angered the Palace Master some time ago, he had not officially announced the termination of the master-disciple relationship, so the position prepared for the Palace Master today was still the upper position. The invitation was sent out and the position was reserved, as for whether the person would come or not, no one knew.
Representatives from various major forces arrived one after another, even the representative of Fengshen Temple, Shui Qianqian was there, but there was still no sign of the Palace Master of Lingxi Palace, and everyone couldn't help but talk about it.
Mo Lingling, who was already receiving the guests, was also a little embarrassed, and she was complaining about Lingxi Palace's presence. It was almost noon, and the guests were seated. Fenggu's introduction ceremony was about to begin. At this time, the servant reported that someone from Lingxi Palace had arrived.
The one who came was Jianxin, bringing generous gifts, all of which were things that Mo Lingling liked.
The Palace Master is not feeling well and is unable to come. Jian Xin is here on behalf of the Palace Master to congratulate Master Fenggu. This is a small gift and not a sign of respect. I hope the Master will not despise it. "
"Hahaha, that's not right, Kenshin Souji. We are all family after all. No need to be so polite. Come on, take a seat."
"I have something important to attend to, so I'll take my leave now." After saying this, he left.
Seeing this, Mo Lingling was unhappy. Although she was the one who made the mistake first, she felt that her master had indeed gone too far this time. In such an occasion, he didn't even give her some face, and Jianxin left without even staying. After dinner, there was another round of laughter.
The Valley Master noticed Mo Lingling's expression and immediately changed the subject, announcing the start of the banquet.
"Thank you all for not giving me the honor of attending my daughter's recognition party despite your busy schedule. I would like to thank you all again. Thank you." He clasped his fists and bowed to the guests, then waved to Mo Lingling.
Mo Lingling walked up to Master Fenggu with a swaying figure, smiling and with elegant manners. Although she had been living away from home for many years, she was lucky and was brought up by the Mo family for many years. Now that she has returned, she does not have the slightest bit of vulgarity, but is instead generous and talented.
"I think most of you here know this girl. She is Feng's daughter who has been away from home for many years. Feng Ling..."
Before he could finish his words, a group of soldiers suddenly rushed in.
