Lady Su’s Revenge

Crouching on the ground, the nightmare shrunk down in the speed visible to the naked eye, and finally… it became a slap-sized black cat with its black hair shining and its eyes squinting, being very cute.

“Is this the real body of the nightmare?”

Su Li said confusedly. Black Lotus also sighed, “I don’t know. But it seems to be fainted by your poison, and therefore there is no threat. We can take this opportunity to kill it.”

Su Li looked serious and grabbed the nightmare on the ground. As Black Lotus said, its real body was so fragile that it could be killed with a little force.

At the moment when Su Li was about to kill it, the black cat suddenly opened its eyes and bit her finger back, leaving a very small blood hole.

Su Li’s face slightly changed. While she hadn’t responded, the complicated runes on her finger back appeared from the blood hole. After the black flash turned around, the whole runes shrunk into the blood hole.

At this moment, Su Li immediately sensed that she had a subtle connection with the nightmare, just like the one with Reincarnation Mirror.

“Does… the nightmare recognize you as its master?! Would this thing know how to recognize its master? I have never heard of it! Could it be that it gets stupid because of your poison?”

Black Lotus screamed again, in a way against its glorious image. But now it obviously couldn’t care so much.

Su Li didn’t speak because even Black Lotus didn’t know it. Then how did she know what was going on? She pondered for a moment and then tried to convey her kind thoughts to the nightmare.

The little black cat immediately spread out comfortably in Su Li’s palm, “Meow~”

Su Li, “…”

Black Lotus, “…”

Although Su Li didn’t know what happened to the nightmare, since it had recognized her as its master, it would not attack her. Su Li put it on her shoulder and let it sleep. Then she turned to walk inside.

“Unfortunately, the King of Ghost Clan just now is an illusion created by the nightmare. Showing the thing you most want to see is its talent.”

Black Lotus shook its head and sighed. Su Li glanced at the ring, “It’s what you want to see most, not me.”

Black Lotus, “…”

Returning to the end of the tunnel again, what they could see was no longer the big cave, but a little green cold pool, as shallow as it could be. A little cold fog rose up, freezing the top stone white-snow. Farther off the walls were wet with drops of water, but there were no snakes, insects, mice or ants in sight.

“It turns out to be Biyou Pool, which is the companion of the nightmare. Although it is no precious compared to life core of the King of Ghost Clan, it should be more than enough to awaken your talent.”

Su Li nodded softly. Black Lotus thought of something, suddenly saying,

“I see! Nightmares are born in Guibing Realm, equal to Lianqi Realm of Human Clan. If this nightmare really escapes from Ghost Circle, its power can never be so weak. For it also has a sense of closeness to you, it is clear that no elder has ever told it about the taboo of the body of evil ghost. It is the ghost offspring floating out of Ghost Circle!”

“The so-called ghost offspring is the hope of Ghost Circle! Once upon a time, the leader of Ghost Circle had a premonition that they would encounter a major disaster, so, he secretly collected the pure offspring from all ethnic groups and sealed them. If Ghost Circle is really broken, these ghost offspring will be sent to all states and regions to seek a lifeline for Ghost Clan.”

Speaking of this, Black Lotus became a little more complicated, “I don’t expect to encounter a newly conceived ghost offspring after years of slumber…”

With her eyes flashed, Su Li glanced at the nightmare who was sleeping soundly on her shoulder. From the moment when the master-slave runes appeared, the ghost poison in its body disappeared by itself. At present, why it was sleepy was mostly because its growth was not complete enough so that it needed to be supplemented by sleep.

“Black Lotus, how to deal with Biyou Pool?”

Su Li suddenly said. Black Lotus returned it mind. There was a suction force when the ring rotated, and came a voice, “Biyou Pool is the earth treasure, and the growth of one nightmare depends on it. The two complement each other. Naturally, it can’t be put into the universe ring. I can collect it and transmit its energy to you. When the nightmare needs it, I will find a suitable place to put it out.”

Su Li didn’t care about that Black Lotus had lied about its own space, just nodding and asking, “If I absorb its energy, would the nightmare be affected?”

“For it recognizes you as its master, you begin to care about it now? It almost kills you just now.”

Black Lotus tut-tutted, answering, “It would be affected. But it doesn’t matter, and it will grow slowly at worst. You can find more things with spiritual power to fill the pool to compensate it.”

“Good.”

Su Li nodded and saw that Biyou Pool had been completely absorbed by Black Lotus Ring and the cave had become ordinary. It might not be long before it became a cave for snakes and insects who liked wet environment.

Seeing this, she no longer hesitated and turned away.

At the same time, in Jincheng Country,

Fan Zisang helplessly followed Lv You and said bitterly, “Senior, we have found the palace three times. Do you want to continue?”

Lv You was also very helpless, but he did not show it. He was about to change the way to continue to prevaricate Fan Zisang, but suddenly he looked serious and immediately turned to the collapsed palace they had checked just now.

“Come with me, boy!”

Fan Zisang was slightly shocked and immediately followed. It seemed that the senior had found something.

Lv You came to the collapsed palace and immediately waved all the broken houses away, revealing the original furnishings in the palace. He glanced over and finally fixed on a light gold bed.

“Is Emperor Jincheng hiding under the bed? I can’t tell.”

Lv You whispered. He went to open the bed with a palm patting. Immediately a tactical matrix wave was broken, exposing the stone ladder under the bed.

“There is a secret way!”

Fan Zisang was very pleased to see this and thought that he could finally leave. While he said complement with his hands folded in front and saluted pretendedly, “Senior, you are really so powerful and brilliant.”

Lv You shook his head and went down. He was not powerful but just had received his master’s order.

“It seems that master has settled the matter in Liu’s Mansion.”

Lv You thought to himself, but he was not surprised, for he began to get used to Su Li’s omnipotence. In addition, he was trucked by Su Li’s tactical matrix when the first time they met, so, it was easy for him to find a hidden matrix.”

Later, the two naturally saw Jincheng He, who was dying in the chamber with serious injuries. Although he was seriously injured, since he was only at Zhuji Realm, Lv You was able to rescue him easily.

Being rescued, Jincheng He was very grateful. After he learned about the whole thing, he almost regarded Lv You as God and begged him to stay in Jincheng Country as the protector.

However, Lv You had followed Su Li, so, he refused him. Jincheng He could only do other things. After knowing Fan Zisang’s identity and learning about Jin Ying’s case, he immediately took Consort Ling to the palace and planned to title her as the empress.

All kinds of later events had nothing to do with Su Li. She was cultivating on Fan Zisang’s Feiyun treasure now.

For refining Reincarnation Mirror by blood and taking over the nightmare this time, she had lost too much pneuma and blood, which had slightly hurt her foundation. All of this could not be made up by cultivation alone.

“The blood crystal refined by Black Lotus last time is pure, but its strength is too violent, so, it’s not suitable for warming and replenishing pneuma and blood. If I want to use it, I have to find something to neutralize it…”

Secretly pondering, Su Li suddenly heard Jin Ying’s painful cry.

She opened her eyes, finding that it was Jin Ying who tried to secretly hug the nightmare but was bitten back. Fortunately, she had warned the nightmare before so that the strength of the bite was equivalent to that of a kitten and Jin Ying only broke a little skin on her hand.

“Hei, you’re so unlovely!”

Jin Ying raised her fist in anger. Naturally, the nightmare would not be frightened. Hearing the word “Hei”, it showed a cold eye and went to sleep.

Seeing this, Su Li smiled gently. It turned out that it was very clever instead of being stupid after being poisoned.

“Junior Sister Apprentice, stop laughing at me.”

Jin Ying said in an injured tone, “Even Hei can bully me.”

Fan Zisang looked back in surprise, but only saw that Su Li had returned to her usual cold appearance. It was pity that he had never seen his junior sister apprentice smile once before. He even envied Jin Ying slightly.

It was better to talk with peers.

Thinking of this, he said with a smile, “The little black cat picked up by Junior Sister Apprentice is smart. Take it back and keep it on the mountain. Maybe it can become a mountain protecting beast in the future. Junior Sister Apprentice Jin, you can’t bully it.”

Jin Ying rolled her eyes unhappily and gave the black cat back to Su Li. She snorted, “Eldest Senior Fellow Apprentice, you are biased! Why do you call Junior Sister Apprentice Su so gently without using her family name while you call me in an opposite way? I want to be treated equally!”

Fan Zisang was dumbfounding, “She is the youngest junior sister apprentice, so, naturally I call her like that. Since you don’t want me to call your last name, I will call you ‘Second Junior Sister Apprentice’.”

“Ah!! No. ‘Second Junior Sister Apprentice’… it sounds silly. Senior Fellow Apprentice, you are biased!!”

Jin Ying suddenly got angrier, but Fan Zisang laughed, and the laughter spread far away.

Jin Ying was angry, and also began to laugh, showing her two little tiger teeth, which were very cute. It was much funnier to be with her senior fellow apprentice and junior sister apprentice than ever in the palace!

Su Li held the nightmare. Although she didn’t smile clearly, she also had a light smile on the corner of her lips.

“Hei, no matter how Jin Ying hugs you, you are not allowed to bully her. Do you hear me?”

Nightmare, “…”

All people laughed all the way. Time passed quickly. After a few days, the gate of Huajian Sect was in sight.

“Isn’t Triple Star-stacked Defensive Matrix opened?”

Through a thin illusion barrier, Su Li clearly felt Triple Star-stacked Defensive Matrix lying in the ground. She frowned and then stretched out.

“It seems that Huajian Sect has passed its crisis temporarily. Otherwise the sect cannot be so quiet.”

When she thought so, Fan Zisang had already managed Feiyun to fall on the top of the mount. Before he stood stable, Su Li saw a strange woman stop in front of them from the stone steps under the mountain. Her eyes were full of evil spirits, shouting coldly,

“Fan Zisang, do you know your sin?!”
