Chapter 74 : Another Type of Cultivation 23 (2/2)
……
Shi Sheng was completely uninterested in the inheritance so she waited till Ye Qingqiu was halfway through absorbing it before interrupting her by attacking. The vague silhouette in front of Ye Qingqiu swayed before it was burnt to nothing by a fireball.
Pff~
Ye Qingqiu received some backlash from having been interrupted in the middle of receiving the inheritance and she spit out a few mouthfuls of blood.
“Shang Shu!” Ye Qingqiu’s vicious expression was full of rage. ‘Her again! Is this woman my nemesis?! Every time she shows up, nothing good will happen for me!’
“Sect Head Ye.” Shi Sheng’s eyes curved as she smilingly called her. The next second though, she spoke, “Ah Ci, kill her.”
‘Won’t let me attack personally? Fine! I won’t then!’
The flames behind Feng Ci flared out suddenly as fire arrows were formed from them and flew towards Ye Qingqiu. Being unable to dodge, Ye Qingqiu could only watch as the fire arrows whizzed towards her ferociously like thunderbolts. She glared unwillingly at Shi Sheng. ‘How can she just act like she’s watching a show?! How…’
Shi Sheng didn’t relax in the slightest upon seeing Ye Qingqiu get submerged by a swarm of countless flame arrows. She wouldn’t pronounce Ye Qingqiu dead till she saw a corpse.
It was at this moment that a brilliant light burst out from where Ye Qingqiu was standing. The light contained a ridiculously large amount of strength, causing people to tremble in fear.
Feng Ci’s expression underwent a slight change as he immediately hugged Shi Sheng and retreated after flinging one last volley of fire arrows.
The palace shook as crumbling rocks flew everywhere. There was a loud crash.
Shi Sheng and Feng Ci managed to escape before the entrance to the palace collapsed. The man waiting outside for Ye Qingqiu was sent flying from the shockwave.
Boom! Kboom!
An awe-inspiring rumbling that had the presence of thousands of troops charging could be heard from above all of a sudden. Shi Sheng lifted her head to find that the entire sky above the forest was covered by dark clouds.
Shi Sheng was feeling rather unwell, to say the least. ‘As expected… female leads are un-killable cockroaches that get all the benefits in the end…’
“She’s going to undergo her tribulation.” Feng Ci’s expression sank. “Won’t be easy to kill now.”
‘Yeah duh I know she won’t be easy to kill!’ Shi Sheng felt like spitting out blood right now. ‘Be honest now, the female lead’s true love is really plot-sama! No inheritance? Just go and ascend!’
“I’ll go redirect the lightning to you for you to ascend.” Feng Ci suddenly pulled Shi Sheng as he flew in the air.
‘Chotto matte kudasai! What do you mean, REDIRECT the lightning to me?! I thought this was bound to individuals? I didn’t know they could switch targets?!’
Shi Sheng pulled on Feng Ci. “No need. Just let her undergo her tribulation.”
Feng Ci didn’t understand, confusion clearly written in his eyes. “Why?”
‘Why? Do I(bbb) even have to explain? That tribulation belongs to the female lead, trying to snatch it would still render you half-dead if not full dead right?’
She hadn’t even heard of stealing other people’s tribulations before. Even if Feng Ci had a way to do so, he would definitely have to pay a heavy price. That battered conscience of hers wasn’t completely useless yet.
