Chapter 65 - Senior Martial Sister

Edited by Ea

However, the unconscious Cousin had no way to pay attention to his behavior, and still didn’t let go.

Lin Shu struggled several times to no avail. Then he looked at the black cat who seemed to be indifferent, and felt a deep sense of helplessness.

In the end, he could only push Cousin into the bed with one hand and lay down in the vacant place with his clothes on, then cover them both with a quilt.

Although he felt he was lying too close to Cousin, it also had some advantages. If Cousin’s body experienced another mishap, he would be able to sense it.

Lin Shu sat on the bedside and began to read ?Extinction? with one hand.

The secret script of Demon Lord Qing Ming is all based on the fact that practitioners have no meridian obstruction and cannot use spiritual power.

This determined that this book did not have any meditation techniques or magical abilities; it was all “Skills”.

The Demon Lord’s idea was that strong spiritual power was certainly the right way to cultivate, but if one practiced “Skills” to an extreme and reached the pinnacle, it would be equally terrifying. Even if it didn’t have the power to destroy heaven and earth, it could still easily and imperceptibly kill people.

Take the extinction needle as an example. When facing an enemy who has spiritual power to protect their body and has the movement techniques to avoid the needle, how can he protect himself while also piercing the poisonous needle into the desired locations on the enemy and destroy their entire body’s meridians?

It’s extremely difficult, but it’s not impossible.

If the enemy has spiritual power to protect their body, then he will look for weak points. If there is no weak point, then he will induce the enemy to reveal one. If the enemy has a wonderful movement technique, then your hand technique must be better than his movement technique.

Lin Shu roughly flipped through the first half of the book and realized that this secret book was not a basic one.

Although it is meant to be practiced for people with blocked meridians, the practitioner’s combat experience, intuition, movement techniques, and even state of mind all need to be top-notch.

A person whose meridians are blocked from the beginning can’t learn this, even if they get this book.

It has to be someone who has already had a great cultivation base and ability before, or a terrifyingly talented person, in order to practice “Skills” without spiritual power.

That made sense. Before his meridians were crippled, Demon Lord Qing Ming was already a master of the demonic path — a Demon Lord. Even without his cultivation base, he was still extremely far-sighted and knowledgeable. The techniques he created in this situation would naturally not be something that people could practice halfheartedly.

Lin Shu thought for a while and felt that he had been successful in cultivation in his previous life, and his combat level was also not low when he battled others, so he should be able to reach the threshold required for practicing ?Extinction?.

The other threshold was financial resources. Things like the extinction needle and the extinction sword all needed extremely precious and rare poisons to temper.

Lin Shu felt that he could also cross this threshold.

After all, not only did he have a rich woman now, but he also had a rich cat — although he didn’t know why the cat had been following him.

He thought about it and felt that the black cat might owe Ling Xiao a lot of karma, so it needed to stay to repay the favor. It just so happened that Lin Shu also had somewhat proficient cat-rubbing techniques, so the cat stayed with them.

Thinking about it this way, he still didn’t have a rich cat. He was just relying on Cousin to get the favor of the black cat.

Lin Shu: “......”

Events always repeat themselves. If the black cat truly stayed because it owed Cousin karma, then he still seemed to be that useless, helpless hamster who only knew how to spend money.

He has already gotten used to it.

Black cat: “Meow.”

Lin Shu looked at it.

After it passed the tribulation, according to the immortal path’s teachings, it should have entered the Mahayana Realm and would only need to await its ascension.

People in this realm are extremely powerful. Their strength is between that of cultivators and that of true immortals. Thus, they are called “Earthly Immortals”.

Then, this cat is now also a cat in the realm of Earthly Immortals.

It’s truly strange that a cat like this can’t even assume human form.

Seeing Lin Shu’s gaze, the cat yelled flatly, “Meow.”

Then it climbed onto him.

Lin Shu had to put down the book and stroke the cat.

After a while, he asked: “Can you become a human?”

The cat had a bad tone and yelled, “Meow.”

Lin Shu continued to stroke the fur.

The cat made a pleasant sound: “Meow.”

Forget it.

I am not a cat, so how can I know the joy that cats feel?

If it’s this cat, it’s really possible that it chose to not take human form because it enjoyed being stroked, and it’s really possible that it followed Lin Shu because of his superb stroking skills.

At this time, it was already twilight outside. The stars rose, and night fell.

Lin Shu was getting sleepy, but Cousin still hadn’t woken up yet, and his hand also hadn’t been released yet.

Lin Shu gave up the struggle, got into the quilt, and decided to just make do and sleep.

But... the hand being held had a strong sense of presence, and the cat also squeezed in again, trying to sleep between the two of them. It took Lin Shu a long time to fall asleep.

Who would have thought that a person who is allergic to people would actually fall asleep holding hands with others?

When Lin Shu woke up the next morning, there was already no one beside him. There was only a cat that was still sound asleep.

He looked away from the bed and met Cousin’s gaze.

Cousin’s expression was gentle as always, but also looked a little complicated.

“Last night...” Cousin said, “I was disrespectful.”

Feeling gradually returned to Lin Shu’s body.

He didn’t know if it was a psychological effect, but he felt that his right hand was still a little hot, and he became a little bit physiologically panicked.

He said: “It’s okay.”

Cousin asked: “Are you angry?”

I am not. I just haven’t fully woken up yet.

Lin Shu buried himself in the quilt and said, “No.”

He was not a girl, and Cousin was also not a girl. Even though they slept together for a night and even held hands — essentially, there was no such thing as “disrespect” there.

After a while, he woke up from sleep. He sat up from the bed and rubbed his eyes.

After rubbing his eyes, he found Cousin watching him.

Because of the faint morning light, Ling Xiao’s entire outline was very soft.

The look in his eyes was hard to describe. Lin Shu thought about it and came up with a metaphor that fit perfectly.

It was as if he was looking at a kitten.

Lin Shu: “......”

He asked, “Are you okay?”

“Thanks to you,” Ling Xiao said, “I will be able to fully recover in a few days.”

As soon as this topic was mentioned, Lin Shu immediately thought of the Mantra of Truth on Ling Xiao.

He said: “Yesterday I saw a curse on you.”

“Curse?” There was no surprise in Ling Xiao’s expression. He pressed his right hand on his flank. “This?”

Lin Shu: “En.”

Ling Xiao: “It’s okay.”

Lin Shu: “?”

“Northern Xia’s witchcraft is not unique,” Ling Xiao sat down by the bed and said to him, “Southern Xia and Northern Xia were originally one kingdom.”

This Lin Shu knew.

In the course “Mr. Xiuzhao Explains Southern Xia History”, related things were mentioned.

It was said that there was no Southern Xia or Northern Xia in the beginning; there was only the Great Xia Dynasty that dominated the world.

Later, the national power of Great Xia declined, and the Di people in the north invaded aggressively, slaughtering their way straight to the capital, where they detained the emperor and several princes at that time.

The branch of the royal family that was lucky enough to escape with the important ministers moved to Shu in the south. Although half of the country was lost, it was fortunate that they preserved the orthodoxy and helped the new emperor to ascend the throne, so it was still known as the Great Xia Dynasty.

Later, a prince who was detained by the Di clan actually broke his way through a very dangerous situation. Not only did he not die of depression like others, but he also gained the support and favor of the Di clan leader. Finally, he actually relied on borderline monstrous schemes and all kinds of incredible methods to usurp the throne.

He became the emperor and also named the dynasty the “Great Xia Dynasty”.

But the prince himself had cultivated some kind of wicked and strange technique to begin with, and the Di clan was also famous for practicing the demonic path. The combination of the two formed the current Northern Xia, whose orthodox technique was now witchcraft.

Perhaps, if at that time, the emperor of the Southern Xia Dynasty bowed his head and took the initiative to abdicate the throne and return to the Northern Xia Dynasty, or if Northern Xia’s emperor abdicated to welcome Southern Xia’s emperor back, then the Great Xia Dynasty would still be the Great Xia Dynasty that dominated the whole world.

However, obviously neither happened. Both believed that they were the orthodox Great Xia. Southern Xia spurned Northern Xia for going into evil ways. Northern Xia despised Southern Xia for dragging out an ignoble existence. Not only did the conflict between the two not calm down, but it also intensified. Later, the war continued endlessly and turned into a blood feud full of hatred, which became the current situation.

Ling Xiao said: “Therefore, Southern Xia also has classics recording ancient witchcraft, and there are still several fragments of these books.”

Lin Shu nodded.

Does that mean that Cousin’s Mantra of Truth was not due to Northern Xia’s attack?

“No one can keep a secret unless they are dead.” Ling Xiao said lightly, “Unless they have a Mantra of Truth cast on them.”

Lin Shu looked at him.

Therefore, Ling Xiao has a secret that cannot be told. If this secret is exposed, it may cause extremely serious consequences, so he used a Mantra of Truth.

“I was still very young at that time.” Ling Xiao said, “We won’t talk about it.”

Lin Shu: “En.”

Because of the Mantra of Truth, even if Cousin was willing to talk to Lin Shu, he still wouldn’t be able to say it.

“But I... have never deceived you,” Ling Xiao smiled, changed the subject, and said, “When do you plan to return to the Academy?”

“I don’t know.” Lin Shu said, “I want to go to the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss.”

Ling Xiao: “En?”

“A Senior Martial Sister asked me to pick a White Bone Flower for her,” Lin Shu said.

Ling Xiao: “Senior Martial Sister?”

Lin Shu: “...En.”

Ling Xiao: “Since when did you have a Senior Martial Sister friend?”

Lin Shu: “....”

Ling Xiao: “Hmm?”

Lin Shu felt that the situation was a bit wrong.

He remembered that, after all was said and done, Cousin was Ling Fengxiao’s cousin.

And he planned to do such a dangerous thing like plucking a White Bone Flower for a girl other than Big Miss, so Cousin had good reason to be unhappy.

Looking at Cousin’s dangerous expression where his smile didn’t reach his eyes and hearing the slightly lowered “Hmm?”, Lin Shu wanted to hang himself.
