“Tian Ning hu hu hu… left turn hu hu hu…”
At this time, Meng Xian on the Flying Snow Sword had countless winds entering his mouth, making it difficult for him to speak clearly.
He had never seen such an outrageous sword flight speed. Was she rushing to be reborn?
Meng Xian's other hand had long been tightly grasping Tian Ning's clothes. He was thankful for his initial choice, otherwise, he was afraid he would have fallen off the sword!
“Received!”
Tian Ning immediately changed direction. She seemed completely unaffected, it was unknown what magical technique she used.
In fact, after the Sword Tomb and Long Clan incidents, Tian Ning had long grown accustomed to this absurd speed. In addition, the alchemy competition registration would end in two days, so she had to hurry and get there immediately.
Only after their spiritual energy was exhausted did Tian Ning find a place to rest, taking some pills to replenish her spiritual energy.
She then took out some delicacies from her dimensional pouch that her Senior Sister had specially made for her, sharing them with Meng Xian. After they ate their fill, they continued on their journey.
“Actually, at this speed, it won't take two days; we'll reach Yun Yue Sect tomorrow…” Meng Xian looked at the delicious food in front of him but had no appetite, only feeling a churning in his stomach.
Tian Ning's sword flight speed was truly amazing. He smoothed down his hair, which had been blown into a mess, and tried to persuade her: “You don't need to go so fast.”
“Anyway, there's nothing else to do, arriving early brings peace of mind.” Tian Ning found this extreme flight quite exciting.
If Zhou Han saw how hard she was working, he would definitely wish she would put this effort into cultivation!
Meng Xian: “…”
If they continued flying, he really would throw up.
“How can there be nothing to do?” Meng Xian said, “How about this, I'll tell you my story!”
Tian Ning: “…”
Didn't she look like she wanted to hear it?
But Meng Xian completely ignored whether she wanted to hear it or not; he was already lost in the joy of storytelling.
There was no way; if she didn't divert his attention, Tian Ning would immediately take him to the heavens!
Meng Xian: “I was born on a snowy winter day. My mother found me while washing clothes by the river…”
Tian Ning: “…”
This novel male protagonist's setting was too fitting!
Tian Ning silently took out melon seeds and a small stool. Since she was idle anyway, she might as well listen.
Meng Xian was a child abandoned by his parents at birth. His foster mother worked as a servant for a large clan. By chance, she found him. Initially, their mother-son life was pretty good, but because his foster mother was quite beautiful, she was noticed by the unscrupulous second master of the clan. Regardless of the fact that she had a child, Meng Xian, he decided to take her as a concubine.
Meng Xian's foster mother naturally refused and left the clan with Meng Xian. However, the second master's wife was jealous. She used benefits to prevent others from hiring his foster mother for work! Having received the benefits without needing to do anything, others naturally agreed to this favor.
With no other choice, his foster mother took Meng Xian back to her hometown—Meng Family Village.
The people of Meng Family Village had special bloodlines. Unlike ordinary beast tamers who needed to find spirit beasts to contract, they could rely on the contract formation passed down from their ancestors to summon their contract beasts once they reached a certain age.
But this required an absolutely pure Meng family bloodline, so people from Meng Family Village had to marry within the village to prevent outsiders from tainting their bloodline.
His foster mother had left because she couldn't accept the arranged marriage her family had set up for her. Now, a child with an unknown father was back. Because of this, Meng Xian had been bullied by other children since he was young, called a little bastard, having only half of the Meng family bloodline, he was afraid that when he came of age, he wouldn't even be able to summon a contract beast! After his foster mother's death, the people of Meng Family Village were even more eager to see this day come.
Meng Xian knew he had no Meng family bloodline; he always knew he would fail.
However, Meng Xian wanted to stay there, not to merely survive. His foster mother's body was fine; there was no reason for her sudden death. He firmly believed that something must have happened that day!
Meng Xian spoke, his eyes filled with hatred, his fingernails unconsciously digging into his flesh; he didn't even notice the pain from the bleeding.
This child has had a hard time. Recalling the excessive actions of those Meng family children earlier, Tian Ning wanted to offer comfort.
But before she could speak, the Demon Sword in her divine sense was like it had been injected with stimulants. A strange man's voice filled Tian Ning's mind with temptation: “Eat him! He is a naturally born Demonic Body; eating him will increase your cultivation base when possessed by a demon, becoming the Demon Venerable will be imminent!”
Tian Ning: “…”
She was a cultivator; why would she want to become a Demon Venerable?
The voice in her head was too excited; it couldn’t sense Tian Ning's calm demeanor. The male voice continued to guide: “Becoming the Demon Venerable means you are the most noble person in the Devil Realm. At that time, you can do whatever you want! With me by your side, you will be invincible!”
Even capitalists' promises were not this exaggerated, right?
Invincible? Could invincibility be as comfortable as living a leisurely life reading storybooks every day?
Tian Ning wasn't moved. Instead, she found it annoying, like a fly buzzing incessantly.
Tian Ning looked up and met Meng Xian's gaze, which she hadn't noticed before. He seemed to be waiting for her response.
Tian Ning said sincerely: “Wait for me a moment.”
She needed to deal with the incessant yapping in her head first.
Meng Xian: “?”
Meng Xian didn't understand. Whenever he talked about his past, those women would try their best to say unforgettable things to win his favor.
However, Tian Ning didn't have the time for that right now.
Meng Xian watched her take out a small blanket, spread it on the ground, and lie down, afraid that her stomach might catch cold. She carefully covered herself with a small quilt.
“I'll be done in a while. Wait for me.”
After saying that, she closed her eyes and fell asleep peacefully.
Meng Xian: “…”
Meng Xian couldn't see, but Tian Ning was already severely scolding the Demon Sword in her divine sense. This thing had some strange quirks; it liked to speak in people's minds, and its voice was extremely loud, like having headphones at maximum volume. It was really annoying!
Ignoring it wasn't enough; it didn't know when to stop.
It even said it was addicted, chattering incessantly in Tian Ning's mind, as if she wouldn't agree to be possessed by a demon, it would wear its mouth out!
Tian Ning wouldn't indulge its bad habits. It was one thing to tempt her, but this was disgusting!
Jianjian saw Tian Ning beating the Demon Sword and happily trotted over: “Oh dear, Ningning, how can you do it yourself? Leave punishing this bitch to me!”
The Demon Sword wilted when it saw Jianjian.
Its ethereal soul body hugged Tian Ning and wailed: “Wuwu… Ningning, do you know how many people covet me? They fought for me until they were bloodied, but I don't even bother to look at them! For Ningning, I'll only take you from among thousands! How can you do this to me!”
As expected of a Demon Sword, its PUA technique was top-notch.
Tian Ning mercilessly revealed the truth: “You were the one who shamelessly forced yourself onto me.”
