224 An unexpected breakthrough 2 (1/2)
In the end, An Fei was forced to call Shen Ming Yue, ”Big Sister.”
As the young girl faced the condescending gazes of a little raven and a small fox, the waves of shame and depression rocked her closed heart into the jagged edges of the sky-piercing cliff.
An Fei sighed and raised a hand to directly whack the little creature onto the ground, extending her fingers to torment the small fox for another round.
She didn't have a choice!
When Shen Ming Yue directed such a lascivious stare onto her body and threatened to strip and punish her otherwise, she didn't have a choice but to raise the white flag into the heavens and wave them even if the earth fell down the next day!
”Ah…”
The young girl's open mouth released another exhausted and exasperated exhale of breath, her countenance dull and devoid of much interest.
An Fei leaned into the slightly uncomfortable bed provided by the inn, her irritated mind seeking additional objects to amuse itself on its whim.
”Something wrong?” Shen Ming Yue raised her head from her bed, her limbs stretched to their fullest as she released a happy cry of relief.
”No, nothing's wrong…”
Given Shen Haoren's advanced age and her status as the first-born child, Shen Ming Yue was considerably older than An Fei's current body, for she had attained her nineteenth birthday a few months ago.
With her seemingly perpetually bright and envigored personality as well as her stunning appearance, the youthful daughter of the Shen Clan had been plagued by an endless line of suitors knocking on her door since her debut as a Young Miss.
Tall height, slender limbs, an outgoing personality that wasn't shy of interacting with the average stranger as long as they weren't a shameless, creepy pervert, and a dazzling countenance to wipe all insults towards the ground without a single exchange, Shen Ming Yue could be named as the penultimate achievement of Shen Haoren's life.
In comparison…
An Fei was short, rather introverted, and more likely to butcher the average passerby regardless of their distorted mental outlook at the first exchange of words…
…and her cultivation was brutally suppressed by the world until she was suffocated and struggling to wheeze through the last gasp of air, whilst Shen Ming Yue could boast around her strength as a late Foundation Establishment Realm practitioner!
”Younger Sister, do you want to have some nightly fun?”
The teasing voice filtered itself through the air to smack onto the young girl's ear, causing An Fei's body to contort in discomfort.
The young girl dove deeper into the bedsheets, covering her ears with the cotton blankets to the best of her ability.
”I'm going to sleep, no need!”
Ahem, even this seemingly perfect role model of a female cultivator that was a beauty could possess such a flaw, it seemed the heavens were not so partial after all…
–
An Fei found herself standing before an unusual sight.
In every direction, there was absolutely nothing to be seen, and the encompassing darkness chilled her to the bone, pouring into her heart with a bleak and desolate emotion.
She seemed to have returned to the void, of which she had glimpsed at in a previous dream many months ago.
Only…
”What do you see?”
She wasn't the only person standing in the void and observing the principle of nihility at its purest essence. A few meters to her side, the young girl could see a little lass standing next to an elderly man.
Her eyes narrowed in surprise, before expanding rapidly in surprise.
”Those two…”
An Fei gasped, her mind resounding from the shock as she stared at the elderly figure and the young lass standing next to each other.
The young girl lurched a step forward, though her body inadvertently came to a halt without her even becoming aware of it.
Those two… hadn't she seen them before?
However, that was in the picturesque garden, where they discussed something about a mortal soul and mortal cultivation…

So, what were they doing in this cold and empty void?
”What do you see?”
The elderly man gently rubbed the little lass' head with an affectionate smile, his arm outstretched and pointing towards an incongruent location before him.
The little lass squinted as she attempted to peer through nihility itself, before lowering her gaze in a dejected sigh.
”Grandfather, I don't see anything!” the little lass complained with a small pout encroaching on her delicate lips.
