That idea was completely shattered in the following days.
Because they were getting closer and closer to the Secret Realm, for safety's sake, Tian Ning took out the clothes her Old Man had made from her Dimensional Pouch and put them on.
The Old Man's clothes were fine in every way; they were an absolute defense, even a full-power attack from someone in the Transformation God Stage might not be able to make a hole in them. It's just that the Old Man's craftsmanship was really average, and he hadn't improved much over the years. A few bolts of fabric, patched together, looked only slightly better than Senior Brother Four's beggar's clothing.
Previously, she wouldn't have encountered any danger in the Sect, so Tian Ning hadn't worn them.
Everything was unknown for her first entry into the Secret Realm. Tian Ning put them on beforehand to protect herself. They had two days left before entering Fu Immortal Sect territory.
Shi Qinxin looked doubtful: "Junior Sister, why do these clothes look so tattered..." like several pieces of old clothes sewn together.
"Senior Sister Three, you don't know, this is a protective magical robe."
Tian Ning cherished her life very much.
When she left home, the Old Man had specifically reminded her that she absolutely must not be injured easily. Her blood was a rare tonic for some powerful beings; if she attracted them, she would be in trouble.
Shi Qinxin watched her treasure the tattered clothes as if they were a treasure, her eyes flashing, and an inexplicable gentleness appeared between her brows.
"Silly girl, you'll be laughed at if you wear clothes like that outside. Senior Sister Three happens to have a few bolts of nice fabric here. I'll make you a beautiful set of clothes, guaranteed to be something a young girl would like!"
Tian Ning was naturally very happy. She thought that Senior Sister Three, when not crazy, was a gentle wife. Not only was her cooking delicious, but she would also take care of everything, just like the mother in a child's mind who could do anything!
She had been raised roughly by the Old Man since she was young. Compared to Senior Sister Three's meticulous care, men raising children only need them to survive...
But recalling how she had been chased and killed by the crazed Senior Sister Three not long ago, this time Tian Ning learned to be smarter. She nodded obediently, afraid of saying something wrong again and reminding Senior Sister Three of the scumbag who betrayed her.
But she underestimated Shi Qinxin's fragile nerves; she could go crazy thinking about the scumbag at any time.
One second she was taking out the fabric and needlework, smiling gently and asking Tian Ning what style of clothes she liked? Tian Ning opened her mouth, about to speak, the next second, a single tear fell from Shi Qinxin's eyes.
She clutched her abdomen: "Junior Sister, I once had a child..."
Tian Ning: ???
No, why did the topic change so quickly?!
Tian Ning's alarm bells rang, vaguely sensing that something was about to happen.
Sure enough, Shi Qinxin's expression became frantic.
"If she were a girl, she would definitely be as pretty and cute as you, and would spend all day pestering me to make her the latest style of dresses... But Honglang, to help that bitch get rid of the poison, he, he cut my premature baby out of my belly alive, just so that the bitch's cultivation wouldn't drop. I hate it! I hate it so much! Why should those dogs and women hurt my child..."
Tian Ning didn't expect that she had experienced this kind of thing.
Fu Hongming had only mentioned that Shi Qinxin had been deceived by a scumbag, but he hadn't expected the other party to be so cruel as to not even spare their own child...
When people go crazy, they often need a vent.
According to the principle of proximity, Tian Ning was unlucky...
Another night spent being chased and killed by Senior Sister Three. Tian Ning collapsed on the ground, speechless and staring at the sky.
She finally understood why Senior Brother One and Senior Brother Four didn't want to come. At this rate, she would also be driven crazy.
In her prime time, she couldn't even read storybooks, let alone be chased and killed!
It was truly too miserable!
"Junior Sister, are you alright? Do you want to get up and eat some chicken..." Perhaps feeling guilty about her craziness last night, Shi Qinxin kept comforting Tian Ning after she woke up, and took the initiative to catch a wild chicken and roast it early in the morning, handing it over.
The wild black-bone chicken from the mountains had tender meat. Combined with Shi Qinxin's culinary skills and various seasonings, the alluring aroma made Tian Ning involuntarily swallow.
"Senior Sister Three!" Tian Ning snatched the tenderest chicken leg, her eyes filled with unconcealed anger. She brandished her fists and swore:
"I will definitely help you kill that damned scumbag!"
That dog of a man! He caused her to be chased and killed by Senior Sister Three one after another, and Tian Ning wouldn't let that bastard get away with it!
Shi Qinxin: "..."
Didn't she look completely harmless, eating a chicken leg in one hand and raising a fist in the other?
"Junior Sister, aren't you angry with me?" She suddenly asked, she didn't know why.
"Senior Sister Three, you're just sick," Tian Ning said without thinking, eating the sizzling chicken leg. "The root of your illness comes from the inner demon left by that scumbag. I know you can't control yourself, but you're also trying hard to get better..."
Otherwise, Shi Qinxin wouldn't have proposed going to the Secret Realm to find the Blazing Flame Fruit.
Tian Ning didn't know what other painful experiences she had gone through, but her time with her had allowed her to see clearly what Senior Sister Three was like under normal circumstances.
Just because Shi Qinxin cooked for her and sewed new clothes for her, Tian Ning liked Senior Sister Three more than the other two senior brothers... She was also looking forward to eating Senior Sister Three's cooking every day when she returned to the Sect!
"Senior Sister Three, add oil! Work hard to restore your cultivation and get even with that scumbag! When the time comes, you kill, and I'll help you dispose of the bodies!" Tian Ning silently made a note of that unseen scumbag for the suffering she had endured.
Shi Qinxin: "..."
Junior Sister really spoke freely.
"You little girl, why do you talk about revenge and murder like eating and drinking water? It's not that easy." Although she said that, the smile that relaxed her brows and eyes was rare.
For five years, her Golden Core was shattered, and she was haunted by an inner demon, all because a wrong love ruined her life. Even her once spirited hands, which wielded a sword, had their tendons severed, forcing her to abandon her path as a Sword Cultivator. In despair, she switched to Pill Cultivation.
She resented! She wished she could rush into the Devil Realm and kill that pair of dogs and women!
But the cruel reality was in front of her. That pair of dogs and women were still living carefree lives, while she had become a useless person whom everyone avoided... Her fellow disciples in Wanjian Sect looked down on her for falling in love with a Demonic Cultivator, the Elders scolded her not to cause any more trouble and implicate the Sect, and her senior brother would gently advise her that everything had passed... But none of this was what she wanted.
Until a sentence from her Junior Sister rekindled her long-dormant heart as a Sword Cultivator.
Kill that scumbag!
Five years... she hid in the dark room, making poison again and again, her evil heart nurturing the resentment of poisoning all unfaithful men and bitches. She even forgot that she was once a Sword Cultivator...
Kill him!
Just having this thought, Shi Qinxin felt her dead heart beat wildly.
"Junior Sister, thank you!"
Tian Ning: "???"
Her hand holding the chicken wing paused.
No... wasn't Senior Sister Three going to go crazy again?
Now there's no cooldown period? She hasn't finished her chicken yet!
"The reason why I became a Pill Cultivator who specializes in poison is that I want to watch the people I hate suffer and die, but even then, I don't feel satisfied..."
The more she spoke, the tenser Tian Ning's body became, ready to deal with a sudden fit of madness!
"Now I think nothing is more satisfying than killing with a sword! Junior Sister, I've decided, I'm going to get better and wield my sword again!"
Shi Qinxin looked at Tian Ning with burning eyes. She knew this Junior Sister was a good child, unlike the former Fifth Junior Sister, who always acted coquettish and tried to seduce men.
As Fourth Junior Brother said, Fifth Junior Sister could stab a pig to death with one sword, but she pretended to be weak and helpless in front of them.
Because of the psychological shadow left by that bitch, Shi Qinxin always looked at other women with colored glasses, especially this new Junior Sister... After all, she had also sincerely loved the former Fifth Junior Sister, but it resulted in a painful price.
But Junior Sister was different from the former Fifth Junior Sister! Junior Sister's relationship with Senior Brother One and Senior Brother Four was a normal brother-sister relationship.
And she knew that several times she had lost control and attacked, but Junior Sister only avoided her and did not actually fight back, afraid of hurting her!
What a good child!
Tian Ning didn't know about Senior Sister Three's self-moved emotions. She was on edge, afraid that the other person would go crazy again.
Moreover, Senior Sister Three was skilled in using poison, so every time Tian Ning ate something, she had to take an Anti-Poison Pill, for fear that she would die without knowing.
The gentler Shi Qinxin's gaze was, the more afraid Tian Ning became!
Fortunately, nothing happened in the next few days, and they arrived at their destination safely.
The number of people who came to the new Secret Realm that appeared in Fu Immortal Sect this time was not large. On the one hand, the danger of the new Secret Realm was unknown, and the Six Great Sects and the Eight Great Families would not easily let their disciples take risks. On the other hand, it was said that this Secret Realm was mainly for Pill Cultivators, and there were not many opportunities, mainly because many rare Spirit Plants grew there.
Tian Ning followed Shi Qinxin to find an inn to stay.
Shi Qinxin was afraid that she would be hungry, so she found a seat and asked the shopkeeper to serve some signature dishes. She carefully picked out the fish bones and shrimp shells and put them in the empty bowl beside Tian Ning.
"Junior Sister, eat more, you're still growing."
Tian Ning loved her Senior Sister Three so much!
If she were a man, she would have married Shi Qinxin long ago!
While they were eating, a noisy group of people came in.
Tian Ning didn't raise her head, she diligently ate her meal.
Finally arriving at their destination, there were still a few days until the Secret Realm opened, and there was a rare opportunity to rest and read storybooks. She had already planned which ones to read.
However, the harmonious atmosphere between the sisters was destined to be broken. Among the cultivators who came in, someone seemed to know Shi Qinxin. The person snatched the squirrel fish that the shopkeeper was about to serve, and sat opposite Tian Ning with an ambiguous expression.
"Isn't this Senior Sister Shi of Wanjian Sect? Senior Sister, instead of hiding in Sword Protecting Mountain and concocting your vicious poisons, why do you have time to come here?" The unfriendly tone clearly indicated that they had a feud with Senior Sister Three.
Tian Ning slightly raised her eyes and noticed that the man sitting opposite her had an empty left sleeve, only his right hand was intact.
His entire left arm was gone.
Noticing that Tian Ning was looking at his defect, the man laughed instead of getting angry: "Are you scared, Junior Sister? This was done by your good Senior Sister!"
"
