Chapter 486: Lullaby (2/2)

Xia Hou thought Ning Que was crazy. He could not understand the words and sensed some strangeness and uneasiness in them.

Ning Que stared at his horrible cheek and said, ”But I do have my own Natal Item. May I show you?”

With his words, a streak of enriched Psyche Power was released from Ning Que's body. And then it left the blood and ethereally floated towards the sky.

The ethereal Psyche Power did not move slowly. The impression of being ethereal was because the Psyche Power was extremely refined. But it did not move to a certain direction, instead it diffused in the Qi of Heaven and Earth over the icy lake.

Before the gate of Daytime Snow Palace, Xia Hou had evaluated Ning Que's refined and pure Psyche Power which was poorly operated.

And this was exactly what he expected right now.

However, his eyes suddenly became cold.

He clearly sensed that Ning Que's Psyche Power had captured a strand of Qi of Heaven and Earth which immediately appeared on the cliff of the south bank. Once it fell on the cliff, the Qi of Heaven and Earth was stabilized in a flash and then expanded at a terrifying speed like being fueled by something.

Holding the hilt with both hands, Ning Que's face grew pale, but his eyes were very bright.

At the risk of destroying his cultivation, Ning Que dissipated the crystal droplet in his stomach and absorbed all the Great Spirit to suppress Xia Hou's spear for a while.

He had to hurry up.

His Psyche Power left the sense of perception, crossed through ten intangible Qi orifices and stagnant Ocean of Qi, finally composing a low and clumsy song.

He hoped the song could be heard and understood.

Because he was calling his Natal Item with the song.

Cultivators did not control objects directly through controlling the Qi of Heaven and Earth. They took it as a bridge and pa.s.sed their Psyche Power to the object, triggering the resonance of Qi of Heaven and Earth inside the object. The Natal Item was the one that could resonate in the most harmonious and easiest way.

This was what Chen Pipi had said. He thought it was very hard for cultivators to find their own Natal Items which were perfectly matched with the cultivators' aura. At the night in the old library, he talked a lot with Ning Que and gave the example of tonality. So Ning Que could know that a Natal Item was the one who could understand his song.

A soulmate.

Sword Masters took a sword as their Natal Item like Liu Bai's Dahe Sword. As the mightiest Sage of the Sword in the world, he could draw his Natal Sword on a paper.

Talisman Masters took talisman as their Natal Item like Master Yan Se's Jing Fu. It was the master's closest companion which fought with him until the end of his life.

Ning Que was a rare cultivator who practiced sword and talisman at the same time. His Natal Item was no sword, talisman, calligraphy stationery or even his favorite taels of silver.

His Natal Item was a little handmaiden.

A handmaiden who had a little bit dark face and yellow hair.

On the icy lake, Ning Que's Psyche Power controlled the Qi of Heaven and Earth and came to the Yanming Mountain.

The song was soundlessly played at the edge of the cliff.

Chen Pipi once said Ning Que's song was rather bad and elusive. Due to the distance, the sound was particularly obscure and incoherent.

But Sangsang felt the Psyche Power.

She heard the song and understood it.

Although there was no real tonality at Yanming Mountain, she clearly heard a song which Ning Que used to hum when carrying her on his back and climbing in the deep Min Mountain many years ago.

Ning Que knew nothing about music. The reason why he did not feel shame to hum the song was that Sangsang liked to hear it when she could not fall asleep.

The song was her lullaby.

Sangsang doubtfully stood at the cliff with the big black umbrella.

Looking down at the light in the icy lake, she did not quite understand what happened, but she understood the call in Ning Que's Psyche Power or perhaps one could say, an invitation.

Ning Que was inviting her to the closest connection which meant a complete obedience that could not be parted by the shadow of death or the threat of Yama.

Any conscious life would instinctively turn down this dominant connection. And even in acceptance, they would go through a long time struggle.

But Sangsang did not hesitate or struggle at all. She agreed to the invitation immediately.

Because she was his little handmaiden.
