Bai Weiwei smiled . Her voice was sweet as she answered: “Shifu, I have cultivated to the fifth level . ”
Her master said: “Only five levels, have you been slacking?”
Bai Weiwei: “No, shifu . ”
Her master snorted, then suddenly he threw out spirit power and fiercely whipped her .
“Only five levels . You are a genius with a single spiritual root, a talent without a bottleneck when forming a golden core . What I want is not the speed of a normal cultivator, but a hundred times faster than that . Do you understand?”
Saying this, the faceless man continued to flog her .
Bai Weiwei, lacking strength, lay on the ground, recoiling as she said: “I’ll reach the sixth level as soon as possible . ”
But her eyes were cold and ruthless, seeming to hide the grudge in her heart .
Ning Yishu, standing at the door, felt his heart throb .
In the end, Grand Heavens Mountain was where she gradually learned cruelty .
Just like raising a gu1 .
She later tortured people using these means .
Ning Yishu couldn’t stop himself from rushing out . The faceless man was gone, leaving only her curled up figure on the ground .
He suddenly didn’t dare to approach her, as if she would disappear with a single touch .
But Bai Weiwei lifted her head, coldly staring at him . “Are you laughing at me?”
Ning Yishu had a bitter taste in his mouth . “Why would I laugh at you?”
“I’m this arrogant and degrading, yet I can only grovel at the feet of my mortal enemy who killed my family, wagging my tail like a dog . It’s disgusting to look at . ”
Ning Yishu’s heart trembled, and his eyes began to burn .
“You’re just protecting yourself . ”
He, too, under her torment, hated her but endured with a flattering smile2 . How could it not be self-protection?
They were so similar .
【Ding . The male lead’s favorability has increased to 25 . 】
When Bai Weiwei heard his words, she couldn’t hold back the grievance in her eyes .
Her eyes were watery, but her mouth stubbornly forced out, “That old coot3, no, the entire Grand Heavens Mountain . Sooner or later I will trample them all under my feet, and anyone who disobeys me will not die a natural death . ”
Such vicious words .
But it was so pitiful and miserable .
Ning Yishu found that he couldn’t hate her .
He even felt… heartache .
He couldn’t help but crouch down and reach out to hold her bruised and battered figure in his arms .
“You will . In the future, you’ll crush the entire Grand Heavens Mountain under your feet . ”
Yes, in the future, she would become a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, and people could only look up to her .
Wherever she went, her beauty was unparalleled, and nobody dared to bully her .
When Bai Weiwei heard his words, her whole body trembled . She buried her head in his arms, refusing to let him see her cry .
“I’ll be the greatest . ”
She was like a child who met with a great calamity, clutching at life-saving straw and desperately hypnotizing herself that she could be saved .
Ning Yishu didn’t know why his nose stung . “You’ll be the greatest . ”
He clearly hated her .
He also was aware of her vicious and cruel nature .
But at this moment, when he was holding her sore and restless body, he didn’t feel a bit of resentment .
Suddenly, she vanished from his arms .
Ning Yishu was alarmed, as though he had lost something important . He looked all around .
All around him was a group of faceless people speaking to each other .
“Shijie broke through . Foundation Establishment at 14, Core Formation at 50, truly a genius . ”
“Yeah, ah, shifu is very pleased . ”
“Of course he’s pleased . Shifu is at Nascent Soul stage, but he’s already out of time4 . Now that Qiu Bai shixiong and Weiwei shijie will get married, our Grand Heavens Mountain will have a successor . ”
Qiu Bai…
Ning Yishi frowned . He passed by those faceless people .
All of a sudden, the scene before his eyes brightened, and all of the dim colors glowed with life .
She came from the other end of the hallway, wearing a light blue chiffon dress, her long hair hanging down to her waist . With every step, a small bell chimed .
