Junior sister took first place again

Chapter 302 Mind Reading

As Ning Jiasheng finished speaking, the inner demon repeated her words with a scrutinizing attitude, "Isn't it luck that has kept you alive until now?"

It was a tone that really asked for a beating. Ning Jiasheng pinched Chi Yan, forced a tug at the corner of his lip, and replied calmly:

"I've reaffirmed your soul contract. I'm sorry you still seem to be so desperate for me. I think this is enough to clarify your situation."

Ning Jiasheng raised his eyes and met the inner demon's half-smile. He said slowly: "I can't kill you, but you don't dare to kill me."

"For me now, learning a few skills specifically for attacking the soul is just a piece of cake."

"Based on this, I think it would be beneficial for both parties if we sit down and have a calm discussion."

"Clap clap clap!"

After Ning Jiasheng finished speaking, the inner demon laughed heartily, clapping his hands and sighing with emotion: "What a clever little thing! You can even turn white into black. You were born to belong to me."

Ning Jiasheng rolled her eyes in her heart. She was her own person and didn't belong to anyone.

It was clearly a genderless ghost thing, and it had the same appearance as himself, but the fatherly smell of the inner demon would occasionally infect Ning Jiasheng.

Sure enough, dad is not a gender, but a state.

Ning Jiasheng's thoughts lasted only a moment, but he suddenly heard the inner demon change the subject and mocked him bluntly, "Ji Wuying is indeed the most useless waste in the history of the Ji family's direct lineage."

She looked at Ning Jiasheng with a smile on her face, her expression quite sincere.

Ning Jiasheng's eyes suddenly turned sideways when she heard this, and she was shocked. The inner demon could actually read her mind now!

Before, the inner demon was unable to use spells such as mind reading and soul control on her. At most, he could only guess a little based on her expressions and actions.

Having become a Nascent Soul cultivator, Ning Jiasheng is now quite sensitive to this kind of magic. She sensed it the moment the inner demon read her mind, and she immediately put up defenses, but the inner demon still managed to obtain the information.

Ning Jiasheng also realized from this accident that the inner demon was able to obtain information because she was caught off guard, but as long as she remained vigilant, the inner demon would not have the opportunity to read her memory and thoughts.

But this still couldn't make Ning Jiasheng smile, because she really had too many secret realms that could not be discovered by her inner demons, especially since she was still in the Cangwu Secret Realm, and there would only be more and more secrets.

Ning Jiasheng secretly made up his mind to keep his inner demon dormant for a long time. However, he immediately put on a straight face and said impatiently, "Don't mention him to me."

The inner demon wasn't angry at all, and even looked quite pleased. "Looks like I scared my little beauty. Well, I also think it's unlucky to mention him. How about telling me something that makes you happy? What did you want to communicate with me just now?"

Ning Jiasheng immediately seized the opportunity and asked again, "I've reinforced the contract, why do you seem indifferent?"

A playful smile played at the Inner Demon's lips, a deep, unfathomable glint in her eyes. She said casually, "It's just a soul contract. I'm certainly not angry, but rather very pleased. One day, you'll understand, and that day won't be too far off."

Ning Jiasheng frowned secretly. All her words were half-truths, but she did not intend to give in.

She took a deep breath and responded calmly, "I can sense that you don't harbor all ill will towards me. In fact, we don't have any deep hatred. You just stabbed me in the back a few times, and I stabbed you back a few times. Why make it into a blood feud?"

"hahahahahahahaha."

The inner demon laughed again when she heard this. After she had laughed enough, she said meaningfully, "My little beauty, you are really open-minded. I really like you more and more."

"However, you are right. The dispute between us really shouldn't become an obstacle between you and me. After the dust settles, I will leave you a few good-looking ones for your entertainment."

“. . . . . . . . . . . . . .”

Ning Jiasheng's eyes suddenly became sharp. She came here just for the sake of expediency. Her real purpose was to find out the true identity of her inner demon.

However, her inner demons always seemed to be able to see through her thoughts, making it difficult for her plans to be implemented.

"I will find out your true identity sooner or later." Ning Jiasheng's voice was filled with determination. Now was not the time to confront her inner demon head-on, but she had to do so due to circumstances.

The inner demon still had that half-smile on his face, as if he didn't care about Ning Jiasheng's threat at all.

"Oh? Do you think I will let you succeed so easily? My little beauty, you are still too naive."

Ning Jiasheng took a deep breath and took a more direct approach.

"In that case, then we have nothing to talk about." Her voice was cold, and she slowly raised the Red Flame in her hand, with the tip of the sword pointing at the inner demon.

A hint of disdain flashed across the inner demon's eyes, but he quickly returned to his cynical attitude.

"What? Are you going to fall out so soon? I thought we could get along well for a while."

Ning Jiasheng did not answer, her eyes were firm, and Chi Yan began to gather powerful strength.

This attack must be powerful enough to put the inner demon into a deep sleep and buy more time for himself.

"It seems that you are determined to become my enemy." The inner demon suddenly lowered her voice, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone, but a hint of seriousness flashed in her eyes.

A trace of determination flashed in Ning Jiasheng's eyes. She knew that the power of the inner demon was stronger than hers, but the existence of the soul contract prevented the inner demon from killing her. Moreover, she had awakened the fire of her life, which gave her the opportunity to fight back.

"Do you think I can be defeated by you so easily?" There was always a hint of disdain in the inner demon's voice.

Ning Jiasheng didn't answer. Words were powerless at this moment; only actions could prove everything. Her gaze was stern, and the life fire within her body began to burn fiercely, the light on the sword becoming even hotter and more dazzling.

"Chi Yan!" Ning Jiasheng shouted softly, and a huge sword shadow shot out from his hand, piercing straight into the eyebrows of the inner demon in front.

The inner demon's expression changed, feeling threatened by the power. "You can actually use your life-defining fire so skillfully. This is beyond my expectation."

The black and white sword appeared in his hand, and the inner demon raised his hand and waved it to easily block the sword shadow.

Gathering the sea of consciousness is something that only Nascent Soul cultivators can do. Ning Jiasheng was able to do it before because he did not belong to this place.

After breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage this time, Ning Jiasheng's biggest change is that he can now carve out an area in his sea of consciousness to fight, which is why his inner demon is now fighting back.

Ning Jiasheng didn't give the inner demon too much time to think. He swung his sword again and pointed it at the inner demon. The power on the tip of the sword was like a fire dragon, rushing straight towards the inner demon.

The inner demon dodged sideways and then counterattacked. For a moment, black and red lights intertwined in the air, colliding violently.

Ning Jiasheng gritted his teeth and fought back with all his might. Just as the two were deadlocked, Ning Jiasheng was suddenly struck on the right shoulder by a flying demonic energy and fell back.

A smile flashed in the inner demon's eyes, and then he condensed a magic whip, trying to tie up Ning Jiasheng.

However, a brilliant golden light suddenly burst out from the diagonal rear, and a golden feather appeared out of nowhere, instantly piercing through the inner demon like a sharp sword. Ning Jiasheng took this opportunity, spun in the air, concentrated all his strength, and stabbed the inner demon with a sword.

The inner demon widened his eyes and disappeared into the sea of consciousness before he could say anything.

Ning Jiasheng stood quietly in place. As the last trace of demonic energy disappeared, a burst of light appeared in the center of his sea of consciousness. After it softened, the fragments of the Emperor's Sword that had not been seen for a long time slowly flew out.

The fragments emanated an ancient and mysterious glow. The sword spirit was the first to break the silence. Its voice resounded in Ning Jiasheng's heart, carrying a majesty that transcended time:

"I have seen your strength. I recognize your heart. Will you be my lord and let my brilliance once again fight for justice?"

Ning Jiasheng was silent for a moment, then nodded gently, then slowly shook his head and said, "Your power has been of great help to me in fighting my inner demons, and I am grateful. I respect the power of the Emperor Sword's spirit."

"As a swordsman, I'm truly honored to receive your recognition, but I always remember our previous agreement..."

The sword spirit condensed into a translucent figure in mid-air, interrupting Ning Jiasheng's words, "I was blinded by one thing before and misjudged you. Now that I have come to my senses, the agreement to cancel the contract is naturally invalid."

The arrogant Tianzijian admitted that he had made a mistake, which shocked Ning Jiasheng, but Ning Jiasheng had her own principles. She had promised to be the master of Chiyan and would not break her promise.

The sword spirit seemed to know what Ning Jiasheng was about to say, and spoke first:

"I understand your choice, and I don't want to become an obstacle between you. However, it's not that I want to force you, but you should be able to sense the disaster that will come if my power falls into the hands of the inner demon if the contract is broken."

Ning Jiasheng nodded, then looked firmly at the figure in the air and said directly, "Because of this, I refuse to become your master, but I will not break my bond with you either."

"I have a proposal that will give you the best of both worlds. I hope you'll listen to it."

The sword spirit nodded directly, "I would like to hear your words and discuss a strategy together."

Ning Jiasheng pursed his lips, quickly composed his words, and said seriously, "I hope you will be my ally, hiding in the shadows. If one day in the future, when you think the time is right, or when I can no longer distinguish between friend and foe, you can secretly help me and help me wake up."

"This can only be done once, and the degree of control is up to you. From now on, I will do my best to collect the rest of your fragments and help you return to your peak."

The sword spirit of the Emperor Sword was silent for a moment, then slowly asked, "Is this a new agreement?"

Ning Jiasheng nodded, "You can think so."

"I promise you."

Ning Jiasheng's eyes flashed with surprise as he heard the sword spirit say without hesitation, "When you need me, I will stand up without hesitation and provide you with strength."

Ning Jiasheng was grateful for the sword spirit's decisiveness, but this matter was of great importance. She looked at the sword spirit intently and said sincerely:

"I hope you will consider this matter carefully, because there is a greater possibility that the decisive battle will come before I make any progress, and you may be completely destroyed by your inner demons."

“I never hesitate about anything.”

The sword spirit's voice seemed to carry a hint of laughter. "A new covenant is hereby established. Not just one day, but whenever you need me, call my name, and I will fight for you."

Ning Jiasheng smiled and took note of what the sword spirit said, but secretly made up his mind not to summon it unless he knew the whereabouts of the other fragments.

She believed that one day she and Emperor Sword would fight side by side. Before that, the less the sword spirit appeared, the better.

After saying what needed to be said, Ning Jiasheng withdrew from his sea of consciousness and then used the sound transmission talisman left by the Unparalleled Immortal Venerable.

After a while, Wen Xingzhou's figure appeared within the barrier.

"Asheng."

As soon as Wen Xingzhou arrived, he was full of worry and pulled Ning Jiasheng to check him carefully. Ning Jiasheng struggled twice but couldn't get free, so he had to let him go.

It was just like their identities had been reversed. Ning Jiasheng said with a rare look of helplessness: "Senior Brother, I'm fine."

Wen Xingzhou did not let go until he confirmed by his own standards that Ning Jiasheng was really safe. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly.

Ning Jiasheng felt her brother trembling, and suddenly felt a sense of grievance. She thought, she wasn't born this strong, it's just that she had never had a safe haven to rely on before.

But neither she nor her senior brother were the kind of people who would dwell on the past, and after hugging for a few minutes, they calmed down. Ning Jiasheng stepped back a little and handed the fragment of the Emperor's Sword in her hand to her senior brother.

Wen Xingzhou took it, and Ning Jiasheng quickly used the technique of insight to tell him about the agreement made with the sword spirit.

After hearing this, Wen Xingzhou was silent for a moment, then said, "Ah Sheng, you did the right thing. The power of the Emperor's Sword is too great. If it falls into the hands of an evil demon, the consequences will be disastrous. Forming an alliance with the Sword Spirit is a wise choice."

"The burden on you is too heavy. I am incompetent and cannot fight against the evil demon. I can only help with some minor matters."

"Leave the matter of the sword spirit to me. Master and I will find a way to remove the evil spirit from it and save you from suffering."

Ning Jiasheng shook his head. "Brother, don't say that. Meeting you and Master is a great honor for me."

"As for the evil spirit, just let it be. To avoid the evil demon's attention, the sword spirit will remain dormant. As long as I don't use its power, the evil spirit will have no effect on me."

Ning Jiasheng turned his head and looked into the distance, his eyes determined. "I will improve my strength as soon as possible. Time is running out, so I won't say any more to you, brother."

Wen Xingzhou was very reluctant to let Ning Jiasheng go, but given the current situation, he couldn't ask his junior sister to stay and spend some time with him. He could only take a small step back and silently watch Ning Jiasheng walk away.

Wen Xingzhou's face showed such a reluctant expression, which was extremely destructive to Ning Jiasheng.

What's more, the two parties already liked each other and it was basically a clear path. If there was a time when Ning Jiasheng's concentration and self-control were the worst, it was undoubtedly when he was in front of Wen Xingzhou.

Although time is tight, it is not to the point where we cannot waste even a single word.

Wen Xingzhou's eyes darkened, and then something warm brushed across his lips like a dragonfly skimming the water.

"Every time I see my senior brother, I understand the meaning of Feng Huo Xi Zhu Hou. Senior brother, don't worry, I will protect myself well. You and Master must take care of yourselves too."

Ning Jiasheng's voice came in the wind. She had just pecked Wen Xingzhou on the lips quickly and then turned into a spirit and ran away.

It’s not that he was embarrassed, but mainly because his senior brother was too innocent. Ning Jiasheng was afraid that he would scare him. Besides, he couldn’t indulge in beauty and delay his work, so he didn’t dare to stay any longer.

In fact, if Ning Jiasheng had looked back, she would have discovered that Wen Xingzhou was not as innocent as she thought.

She had no idea how much self-control her innocent senior brother had to use to not make a move and let her deepen the kiss.
