Chapter 3: The Empress’s Inner Demon (Part 2)

In this life, since they had met, Ning Wuxie felt the need to avenge her.

Even if he couldn’t change the Empress’s personality, at least he could deepen her feelings for him.

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

“I do, but Xuan’er is afraid…”

Xuan’er’s voice was small and timid. It seemed that she trembled at the thought of those people.

“Don’t be afraid. With your brother here, I will help you seek revenge.”

“In the future, no one will dare to bully you anymore because I will take action and kill them all!”

Ning Wuxie gently stroked Xuan’er’s head and spoke in a gentle tone.

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

She leaned against Ning Wuxie’s chest, clutching his collar with her small hand.

“Thank you, brother,” she whispered.

“Why are you so good to me, Brother Wuxie…”

In her heart at this moment, she felt that besides her grandfather, the best and kindest person in the world was Ning Wuxie.

She felt incredibly lucky to have met such a good person. He was willing to bury her grandfather, provide her with food to eat, and even help her seek revenge.

With these thoughts in mind, she held onto Ning Wuxie’s chest even tighter.

“I’ve told you before. It’s because we are of the same kind,” Ning Wuxie caressed Xuan’er’s back gently as he spoke softly.

“I just want to protect you because this world is dangerous and cold. I want to stand by your side and fight against those bad people together.”

“Now I’ll protect you. And when Brother gets old, it will be your turn to protect me, alright?”

Xuan’er nodded her little head heavily and curled up in Ning Wuxie’s embrace, feeling the safety from the outside world.

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

There were still glistening tears at the corners of her eyes. Her long eyelashes trembled gently, and her face looked peaceful and adorable.

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

Upon closer inspection, one could even see traces of the beautiful appearance of the Empress from her previous life.

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

Then he took out some copper coins hidden at home and left, going to the black market to buy an ordinary mortal weapon—a common soldier’s saber.

It was just an ordinary mortal weapon without any special powers.

After all, he was currently only in the Human Path. Facing a group of gangsters’ attacks, he didn’t have a hundred percent chance of winning.

Moreover, even though this slum was in a small country, it couldn’t guarantee that there were no cultivators within the Black Tiger Gang.

Insufficient cultivation required compensating with techniques.

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

As a martial skill, it naturally had weaker power compared to those magical abilities. It was only a spiritual-grade technique.

(Cultivation/Item Tiers: Mortal, Spiritual, Daoist, Immortal, Holy, Emperor)

However, this was one of the most proficient martial skills Ning Wuxie had mastered during his early cultivation in his previous life!

With chaotic combat strikes resembling ink splatters like raindrops falling down when practiced to perfection—its speed was as fast as fireflies—it was difficult for even a Daoist cultivator to resist!

Ning Wuxie relied on this ordinary martial skill to launch sudden attacks and kill many opponents!

Dealing with these gangsters in the slums, it was enough.

He spent the night practicing the Ink Splatter Saber Technique and refining the chaotic true qi within his body, finally successfully breaking through to the Bone Quenching Realm after reaching the fifth level of Severing Meridians!

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

Now, ordinary weapons couldn’t break his skin, his bones were as hard as iron, his meridians were unobstructed, and he had extremely strong resilience!

“I wonder if a fifteen-year-old body can still kill…” Ning Wuxie’s lips curled up as he slowly stood up.

The combat skills from his previous life also emerged in his mind. Even without those powerful magical abilities or treasures and talismans, relying solely on fists and kicks, he had killed countless people!

Thinking that being a disciple of the Human Sect was easy! The path of immortality was a great struggle. With limited cultivation resources, if you wanted to progress, you had to fight for it!

Even those who claimed to protect humanity like the Human Sect—everyone inside including Emperor Li Luobing—had stepped on their peers’ corpses to climb up.

On this point, the Human Sect was really not as straightforward as those demonic sects!

With this thought in mind, Ning Wuxie’s heart stirred. He turned around and looked at Jiang Ningxuan lying on the bed.

Then, before his eyes, a scene made his pupils dilate!

As daylight changed into twilight, the first ray of sunlight slanted through a hole in the roof and fell onto Jiang Ningxuan’s quiet and adorable face while she slept.

Strangely, when the direct sunlight approached Xuan’er, it seemed to suddenly enter another realm and began to twist irregularly!

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

Ning Wuxie saw something resembling runes, dyed golden by the sunlight, swirling around Jiang Ningxuan’s body. It seemed to condense from the air and finally drilled into her brow.

Ning Wuxie was shocked.

“This is a sign of awakening for the divine spiritual body… But she’s only six years old!”

Any special cultivation physique would be able to fully display their talents the earlier they awakened.

Ning Wuxie’s own Primal Chaos Body and Celestial Charm Body had awakened at fifteen and twenty-three respectively. Although their dual physique sounded powerful, awakening too late had also wasted time.

But Xuan’er, she was only six years old and hadn’t even learned how to write “cultivation” yet. And yet she awakened?!

This meant that her entire cultivation journey would enjoy the blessings of the Immortal Spirit Dao Body!

This was the first time Ning Wuxie had seen such heavenly principles. Those great dao laws that he couldn’t understand were rushing into Jiang Ningxuan’s mind.

“It seems that during this period of time, Xuan’er is about to awaken her divine spiritual body!”

“I wonder if there will be any anomalies that attract some major sects’ covetousness…”

A sense of urgency arose in Ning Wuxie’s heart. He must find a safe place for Xuan’er to awaken!
