CHAPTER 268: CHAPTER 255: IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN

Mu Nanqing suddenly stopped, and Shi Nian looked at her in confusion: "Senior sister, what’s wrong?"

Mu Nanqing shook her head and said softly, "I don’t know what’s going on. Suddenly, it feels like some kind of bond has been completely released, and above that vast sky, there seems to be a mysterious existence calling out to me."

A peculiar expression also emerged in Mu Nanqing’s eyes.

This feeling was very strange.

She felt as if she had gone from being a bound person to suddenly becoming a free one.

But.

Hadn’t she always lived in freedom?

"A call from above the sky?" Shi Nian followed Mu Nanqing’s gaze and looked up, but beyond the star-studded sky, she saw nothing else.

Speaking of the skies above.

Isn’t that where the Immortal World and the Divine Realm are?

Could it be that Senior Sister has some connection with the people of the Upper Realm?

Shi Nian couldn’t figure it out.

However.

About what Mu Nanqing said, that it felt like some kind of bond had been completely released, Shi Nian somewhat understood the reason.

"Senior Sister. Follow me," Shi Nian said with a mysterious smile.

Mu Nanqing nodded her head.

Shi Nian led Mu Nanqing all the way to the Black Abyss Forest.

In the Black Abyss Forest, the Greedy Demon Venerable had already fled after absorbing the magic power, leaving only Yue Zhilan’s body, with eyes wide open even in death.

This human woman... was dead.

She was merely a mortal.

But as Mu Nanqing looked at Yue Zhilan’s body, she always felt an indescribable sensation within her.

She walked slowly towards Yue Zhilan.

Afterward.

As if sensing something, Mu Nanqing placed her hand on Yue Zhilan’s forehead.

The next moment.

A flood of memories suddenly appeared in Mu Nanqing’s mind.

These memories came so abruptly that Mu Nanqing staggered backwards several steps.

Then.

She saw the memories Shi Nian had once seen.

She watched Li Nanfeng exult in triumph.

Watched as he and Yue Zhilan tormented each other back and forth.

Watched herself being deceived by Li Nanfeng and becoming his Daoist couple.

Watched the Demon Lord slaughter the Mu Family.

Watched how she went mad, how she suffered, how everything was destroyed.

The excruciating pain of having her Nascent Soul forcefully extracted felt all too real to Mu Nanqing in that moment.

Who knows how much time passed.

Mu Nanqing removed her hand from Yue Zhilan’s forehead, her face pale and her forehead drenched in cold sweat.

She looked at Shi Nian: "Little Nian, this is my life, isn’t it?"

Shi Nian didn’t deny it and said quietly, "Senior Sister, those things will never, ever happen."

Indeed, they will never happen.

Mu Nanqing, with tears in her eyes, slowly nodded.

She remembered that day when Shi Nian suddenly hugged her, urging her to keep away from Li Nanfeng, that scumbag.

Although she didn’t know how Shi Nian found out.

But at that time, she probably had already foreseen her own bleak future.

She always thought she was the one trying hard to protect Shi Nian.

As it turns out.

This junior sister whom she had always cared for was also striving to protect her.

Now looking back at all the things Shi Nian did, Mu Nanqing suddenly found the answer.

For her sake, Little Nian must have done a lot of things in secret.

"Thank you, Little Nian," Mu Nanqing said softly.

"Senior Sister, do we need to say thank you between us?" Shi Nian tilted her head.

Mu Nanqing chuckled, "Yes, between us, there’s no need for thanks."

Shi Nian, as if moved by some feeling, suddenly said: "Senior Sister, hello."

"Greeting Senior Sister. Experience Points +10 (This is the limit in the Human World.)"

Shi Nian’s eyes moved slightly.

Human World Limit...

That is to say, the true Luck Value of the eldest senior sister might even surpass 10 points.

And at this moment, in her eyes, one could vaguely see a faint golden glow enveloping Mu Nanqing.

This radiance was gentle and brilliant, as if adding a protective film around Mu Nanqing.

Just like how Yue Zhilan previously had the main character’s protective aura, making it impossible for her to die.

Mu Nanqing now also had a protective aura of luck.

As long as nothing major happened, her path ahead should be smooth sailing.

"Eldest senior sister, let’s go," Shi Nian waved her hand, and the corpse of Yue Zhilan on the ground turned into dust.

Mu Nanqing responded with a sound, not giving Yue Zhilan another glance.

In her previous life, she suffered tremendously because of Yue Zhilan.

She empathized deeply with those memories.

But this life.

Everything was different.

To her, Yue Zhilan was just an irrelevant person.

Due to the shockingly tragic images in her memory of the entire Mu Family’s demise, Mu Nanqing decided to stay a while longer with the Mu Family.

Seeing Mu Nanqing’s stable emotions, Shi Nian left first.

Taking advantage of the night.

She paid a visit to Lin Bai.

The very sight of Shi Nian now made Lin Bai Sword Immortal exceedingly vigilant.

Although his heart was growing stronger and stronger.

Every time he saw Shi Nian, he still needed to be cautious, extremely cautious.

Prudent, and even more prudent!

Otherwise.

If he were startled by her again, wouldn’t that be embarrassing in front of the younger generation?

"Sword Immortal, hello there," Shi Nian greeted with great enthusiasm.

Lin Bai took a step back, "Come on, stand there and talk, don’t come any closer."

Keeping a distance gave him a bit of room to disguise his reaction.

Shi Nian was puzzled by Lin Bai’s behavior, but she didn’t dwell on it.

Shi Nian chuckled and spilled out a pile of Jade Scrolls.

The Jade Scrolls clattered as they collided and then all fell to the ground.

Lin Bai looked at them nonchalantly and asked, "What’s inside these Jade Scrolls?"

Shi Nian was even more casual, "Oh, just some Secret Books from the Immortal World."

Thump!

A sound of something hitting the ground rang out.

Shi Nian looked curiously at Lin Bai, who had suddenly fallen to the ground, "Sword Immortal, what’s wrong with you?"

Lin Bai took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and said with an exceptionally calm demeanor, "I’m fine. I just think the weather is a bit too hot, it’s cooler on the ground."

"Really?" Shi Nian looked at Lin Bai with some suspicion.

It’s only June, and the weather is quite nice.

And being at his level of cultivation, he would still be bothered by cold and heat?

Is Lin Bai Sword Immortal so frail?

"I’m not at all shocked," Lin Bai said composedly as he stood up, "Aren’t they just some Secret Books from the Immortal World? I’ve seen plenty. I also have a few Immortal Laws at hand."

Shi Nian nodded, "You are indeed Lin Bai Sword Immortal. These Jade Scrolls simply contain the legacy of an Immortal Emperor."

Thump.

Lin Bai sat down hard on the ground again.

Shi Nian: "???"

She asked with concern, "Sword Immortal, are you really okay?"

As soon as she finished speaking.

She saw Lin Bai Sword Immortal muttering curse words while frantically gathering the Jade Scrolls from the ground.

Barely audible, he seemed to be saying something.

You can’t just throw such precious things around blah blah.

Shi Nian couldn’t help but say, "The Jade Scrolls aren’t so fragile, they can’t be damaged from falling."

Lin Bai Sword Immortal shot her a glare!

"Is this a matter of whether they can be damaged from a fall? It’s about respect! This is a matter of respect! Okay? If that Immortal Emperor knew you threw his legacy around like this, he would be heartbroken."

Shi Nian with an innocent face: "Okay fine..."

Lin Bai Sword Immortal quickly collected all the Jade Scrolls before he had the energy to ask, "All these Cultivation Techniques, you’re giving them all to me?"
