Chapter 3: Empress’s Heart Demon (2/2)

In this life, since they met, Ning Wuxie had to seek revenge for her.

There was no expectation to change the Empress’s character, but at least it could enhance her feelings for him.

“Xuan’er, do you want to take revenge for your grandfather?”

“I want to, but Xuan’er is scared…”

Xuan’er spoke softly, her voice trembling at the thought of those people’s voices.

“Don’t be afraid, with brother here, I will help you take revenge.”

“From now on, no one will dare to bully you, because I will take action and kill them all!”

Ning Wuxie gently stroked Xuan’er’s little head, speaking in a tender tone.

Listening to Ning Wuxie’s comfort, Xuan’er’s trembling body gradually calmed down.

She leaned against Ning Wuxie’s chest, her small hand tugging at his collar.

“Thank you, brother,” she murmured.

“Why are you so good to me…”

At that moment, she felt that besides her grandfather, the best and kindest person in the world was Ning Wuxie.

She thought she was truly lucky to meet such a good person, willing to bury her grandfather, provide her with food, and help her take revenge.

Thinking of this, she tightened her small hand around Ning Wuxie’s chest.

“I already said, because we are the same kind of people,” Ning Wuxie gently said while patting Xuan’er’s back.

“I just want to protect Xuan’er because this world is dangerous and cold, so I want to stand with Xuan’er and fight against those bad people together.”

“Now I protect Xuan’er, and when brother gets old, Xuan’er will come to protect me, okay?”

Xuan’er nodded heavily, curling up in Ning Wuxie’s embrace, feeling a sense of safety.

After holding Xuan’er for a while, Ning Wuxie lowered his head and found that Xuan’er had fallen asleep in his arms.

The little girl had tears glistening at the corners of her eyes, her long eyelashes gently fluttering, her face peaceful and adorable.

Her delicate features were exquisite, her skin fair and rosy, like a porcelain doll.

Upon closer inspection, one could see the stunning beauty of the Demonic Path Empress from several hundred years later.

Ning Wuxie carefully placed her on the bed and covered her with a blanket.

Then he took out some copper coins he had saved at home, left the house, and went to the black market to buy a knife.

It was just an ordinary mortal weapon, without any supernatural qualities.

After all, he was only at the Human Path realm, and facing a group of thugs did not guarantee a hundred percent success.

Moreover, even though it was a slum in a small mundane country, it could not be guaranteed that there were no cultivators in the Black Tiger Gang.

Lacking cultivation, one had to rely on techniques.

The “Ink Splattering Knife Technique” was a martial skill that inner disciples of the Zhenyuan Sect could practice.

As a martial skill, it was inherently weaker than those supernatural abilities, lacking the power to move mountains, and was merely a spirit-grade technique.

(Technique/Item Ranks: Mortal, Spirit, Dao, Immortal, Saint, Emperor)

This was also one of the most proficient martial skills Ning Wuxie mastered during his early cultivation in his previous life!

With chaotic slashes, like ink and rain, practiced to perfection, the knife light was as fast as fireflies, making it difficult for even Dao cultivators to resist!

Ning Wuxie relied on this ordinary martial skill to suddenly rise and kill many opponents!

Dealing with the thugs in the slum was more than enough.

A sleepless night was spent in the cultivation of the Unbounded Sun Technique and practicing the Ink Splatter Knife Technique.

The entire night, Ning Wuxie focused on practicing the Unbounded Sun Technique, organizing the chaotic true qi within him, and ultimately succeeded in breaking through to the fifth level of the Severing Meridians Realm!

In just one night, he broke through the Bone Quenching Realm and became a master among mortals!

Now, ordinary weapons could not break his skin, his bones were as hard as iron, his meridians were unobstructed, and his resilience was extremely strong!

“I wonder if a fifteen-year-old body can still kill…”

Ning Wuxie smirked and slowly stood up.

The combat skills mastered in his previous life surfaced in his mind; even without those powerful supernatural abilities, magical treasures, or talismans, he had killed countless people relying solely on his fists!

Did they really think being a Cultivator of the Human Sect was easy? The path of immortality was one of great contention, and with limited cultivation resources, one had to fight to progress!

Even the Human Sect, which claimed to protect the Human Sect, had everyone inside fight, including that Human Emperor Li Luobing! Who did not step on the corpses of their peers to climb up?

In this regard, the Human Sect was indeed not as straightforward as those of the Demonic Path!

Thinking of this, Ning Wuxie felt a stir in his heart and turned to look at Jiang Ningxuan on the bed.

Immediately, the scene before him caused his pupils to widen in shock!

As the light changed, the first ray of sunlight slanted through the hole in the roof, shining on Jiang Ningxuan’s sleeping, quiet, and adorable little face.

Strangely, the sunlight that directly shone in seemed to suddenly enter another realm as it approached Xuan’er, beginning to twist irregularly!

The sunlight twisted like a snake into many segments, surrounding Jiang Ningxuan’s small body.

Ning Wuxie saw many things resembling runes, dyed golden by the sunlight, swirling around Jiang Ningxuan, seemingly condensing from the air, and finally drilling into her brow.

Ning Wuxie felt a shock in his heart.

“This is a sign of the awakening of the Divine Spiritual Body… but she is only six years old!”

Any special cultivation physique awakened earlier could exert its full potential.

Ning Wuxie’s own Chaotic Defeat Body and Heavenly Fragrance Charm Body awakened at the ages of fifteen and twenty-three, respectively. Although both physiques sounded powerful, awakening too late wasted time.

But Xuan’er, at only six years old, did not even know how to write the word cultivation, and she was already awakening?!

This meant that her entire cultivation journey could enjoy the benefits of the Divine Spiritual Body!

This was the first time Ning Wuxie saw the true Dao, as those profound laws he could not understand rushed into Jiang Ningxuan’s mind.

“It seems that during this time, Xuan’er is about to awaken the Divine Spiritual Body!”

“I wonder if it will produce any anomalies, attracting the covetousness of certain major sects…”

Ning Wuxie felt a sense of urgency in his heart; he had to find a safe place for Xuan’er to awaken!
