Chapter 1344: Seemed Gentle in Comparison
“But your seal will activate every once in a while.” Qing Yue raised his brow.
Ning Shu didn’t mind. “It’s fine.”
This seal only flared up after a certain interval of time. Plus, the pain didn’t last long. What was most painful was to be under a malicious curse, where she was in pain every second of the day with the pain growing stronger by the day.
The seal seemed very gentle in comparison.
“I can help you,” said Qing Yue.
There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. They had never met before, but he gave her a place to stay and even wanted to help her. There must be a reason.
“Why? I still feel like you got the wrong person. We don’t know each other.” Ning Shu looked at Qing Yue. “Unless you tell me why, I can’t just mindlessly accept your help.”
People should help each other, but who knew how powerful Qing Yue really was. Him suddenly acting like this towards her made her feel very suspicious.
They weren’t people of the same realm.
Would a person be polite to an ant that they could easily crush with one hand?
Qing Yue smiled softly and stretched out a hand towards Ning Shu. Ning Shu immediately covered her chest. “What are you doing? I’m telling you, don’t mess around.”
Qing Yue pinched the collar of Ning Shu’s clothes and lifted her up. Ning Shu’s surroundings suddenly became fuzzy and she felt dizzy and nauseous.
Ning Shu rubbed her head. She didn’t understand what was going on as she looked at her surroundings. They had already left Qing Yue’s house and were currently standing in front of a black city wall.
Many people came and went in their surroundings. The men and women here were handsome and beautiful beyond comparison, enchanting enough to move people’s hearts.
Upon seeing these people, one word arose from Ning Shu’s heart: demons.
The demon race were experts at attacking people’s minds with their charm. People would expect that the demons would be extremely vicious and sinister-looking, but they were actually even more good-looking than humans.
However, under that attractive exterior, evil black blood flowed.
The demon race didn’t have any concept of right or wrong. They didn’t make a distinction between good and evil. They didn’t have the human race’s sense of propriety, justice, integrity, and honor. They believed that might makes right, and they only believed in power.
Ning Shu felt as if she was carsick. She felt so nauseous that she wanted to die. How did she suddenly arrive at the demon race’s territory?
Ning Shu silently chanted the heart-clearing chant to make herself feel better.
When the surrounding demons saw Ning Shu, they reacted as if they just saw an appetizing morsel. Their noses immediately twitched, then their eyes filled with contempt. They had clearly smelled that Ning Shu had mixed blood and was half-human, half-demon.
But when the demons saw Qing Yue, their expressions became vigilant.
What the frick? Since she was weak, she didn’t have any speaking rights. He had brought her here giving her a single warning. She was pretty scared. She didn’t have enough strength to resist her demon father yet.
Ning Shu told Qing Yue, “Why didn’t you tell me beforehand? No matter if it’s good or bad, you should tell me so I can prepare my heart.”
“Why do you keep putting it off? You would even rather endure the pain brought on by the seal, but that doesn’t solve the problem.” Qing Yue looked at Ning Shu disapprovingly.
“I have a procrastination disorder, okay?” Ning Shu sighed. “It’s just that my strength really isn’t enough. When I get strong enough, would the pain of the seal even affect me anymore?”
“I’ve said that I can help you.” Qing Yue looked at Ning Shu and said sincerely, “I can help you.”
Ning Shu smiled and nodded. “Fine. You can help me. Whatever reason you’re helping me for, thank you.”
Qing Yue nodded and set a barrier around Ning Shu. Ning Shu watched as Qing Yue chanted a spell. He really didn’t seem like a demonic beast.
Ning Shu stayed within the barrier and waited for Qing Yue to come back.
She simply sat cross-legged inside the barrier and cultivated. The spiritual energy that entered her body was swallowed up by the golden coiling dragon in her dantian.
Ning Shu inspected the swimming coiling dragon in her dantian. She wondered whether it would become a real dragon one day.
But that was very far in the future. Right now, she was still very weak. She had to continue cultivating in order to become strong. She also had to be in a place with abundant spiritual energy in order to cultivate a golden dragon.
It would be great if she could cultivate a golden dragon in her soul state.
It wasn’t long before Qing Yue returned. He held a jade bottle filled with black blood in his hand. The blood seemed to be boiling.
