CHAPTER 203: CHAPTER 156: SENIOR SISTER, LET’S BE TOGETHER FOREVER FROM NOW ON

"Miner... Miner?"

Upon hearing this voice, Ning Shan’s form involuntarily trembled.

The voice of the person before her was all too familiar. Having been in close company for so many years, how could she forget?

"Ning, it’s me," Xiao Yu chuckled lightly, executing a spell with her hands. A fine line condensed from Spiritual Qi appeared at the back of her head.

With a gentle tug from her slender white hands, the thread came loose. The entire mask of human skin suddenly split open and peeled away.

Wen Miner’s figure slowly emerged.

"Miner, you... you..."

Shock was unmistakable in Ning Shan’s eyes.

Her heart sank abruptly as the surging Spiritual Qi within her became even more violent. She had never expected Wen Miner to be right under her nose.

At that time, Wen Miner’s identity had already been exposed, but before they could deal with it, she vanished without a trace.

Qiu Yinger had found some clues beforehand. However, there was no definitive evidence, and to avoid startling the snake, they hadn’t taken action.

Compared to Liu Qingxuan, Wen Miner was just a small fry.

Subsequently, the battle between Wonderous Palace and the Righteous Sun Sect began.

Due to their master-disciple bond, Feng Ruoli did not personally intervene but still ordered her capture.

However, Wen Miner had already prepared her escape route, using the Beast Ceation Skill to successively evade two calamities.

The people of Wonderous Palace thought Wen Miner had been rescued by members of the Righteous Sun Sect.

Mu Yunqing, on the other hand, thought Wen Miner was dead.

In reality, Wen Miner never left; she remained within Wonderous Palace.

Mu Yunqing wanted to kill her, and she naturally wouldn’t let the matter rest. However, she was also aware of the gap in strength between them. Even returning to the Righteous Sun Sect wouldn’t give her much chance to kill Mu Yunqing. His strength and status were beyond her reach. Even if she were to expose the truth, as an undercover spy without concrete evidence, who would believe her?

Therefore, Wen Miner changed her identity once more and continued to stay in Wonderous Palace.

Most importantly, she also coveted the Fortune Divine Devil Skill. With this cultivation skill, she might finally have a chance to kill Mu Yunqing.

"Miner, you’re unharmed. That’s really wonderful," Ning Shan forced a smile, speaking insincerely as she struggled against her discomfort.

Wen Miner had hidden too deeply. She hadn’t noticed a thing.

"Yes, it is indeed wonderful." Wen Miner shed the ’Xiao Yu’ human skin. She raised her hands high, stretched her body, and smiled in response, "Senior sister, now you can go in peace."

"Miner! Wait!" Ning Shan’s complexion suddenly changed. She urgently spoke, "You want the Fortune Divine Devil Skill, right? Just take it. I won’t accuse you, I swear!"

Her words had barely faded.

CLANG!

A sharp sword light flashed.

A silver longsword pressed against Ning Shan’s brow, appearing as swiftly as lightning.

"Only the dead don’t make accusations," Wen Miner said, a sweet smile on her face, yet her entire being emitted a dangerous aura.

"Miner, wait, please wait! I have more to say!" Ning Shan’s body trembled as she involuntarily edged backward, her lips murmuring pleas for mercy.

At the same time, she covertly activated the Fortune Divine Devil Skill, attempting to suppress her injuries.

"Senior sister, go ahead and speak. I’m giving you a chance." Wen Miner’s gaze shifted slightly, her right hand pushing forward a fraction.

The sword tip pierced flesh, and blood immediately trickled down Ning Shan’s forehead.

She knew Ning Shan was stalling for time.

But...it was pointless. No one could enter this secret chamber right now. Besides, her own strength was not inferior to Ning Shan’s.

"Miner, do you remember how I’ve treated you like a sister these past few years?" Panic surged within Ning Shan, her voice now tinged with pleading.

"Like a sister, huh..." Wen Miner was momentarily taken aback. For an instant, she recalled the years gone by.

Although Ning Shan was often cold and aloof to outsiders, she had indeed been good to her.

That’s right. Ning Shan had truly treated her like a sister.

Seeing Wen Miner pause, a surge of joy welled in Ning Shan’s heart. She continued, "Miner, do you remember? It was I who brought you before Master and asked her to accept you as a disciple."

Perhaps the life-or-death crisis had ignited her potential. In the next instant, the Fortune Divine Devil Skill, previously unresponsive, finally activated. The words Ning Shan spoke began to carry wisps of a bewildering power.

"Senior sister, you’re right. You have indeed been good to me these past few years." Wen Miner swayed, her gaze growing vacant.

A feeling stirred within her. After being an undercover agent for so many years, it was a lie to say she had no feelings. Otherwise, she would have killed Ning Shan outright just moments ago.

"Miner, your senior sister won’t blame you. That’s right. You want the Fortune Divine Devil Skill, don’t you? The Fortune Divine Devil Skill in this jade slip is only the upper volume. If you kill me, you won’t be able to get the lower volume." Ning Shan’s voice sounded again, slowly seeping into Wen Miner’s mind.

"Oh, so it’s only the upper volume?" Wen Miner asked, slightly startled, a hint of confusion in her gaze.

"Yes, Miner. If you spare me, your senior sister can get you the lower volume." Ning Shan nodded frantically. "Don’t worry, your senior sister would never betray you."

A strange, demonic light flickered in her eyes, beginning to seep into Wen Miner’s mind.

"Okay..." Wen Miner seemed somewhat swayed. Her expression grew vacant, and her grip on the sword loosened slightly.

"Yes, Miner, don’t worry." Ning Shan’s eyes narrowed, her gaze suddenly turning sharp.

Now is the moment! Die!

SCHLICK!

The longsword plunged straight into her brow.

"Urk..." Ning Shan’s half-raised hand froze, her brow already pierced by Wen Miner’s sword.

But Wen Miner had moved even faster.

"Senior sister, consider that my repayment for all your years of care."
