Killing God - Chapter 346
Chapter 346 Wish
Shen Shi left the Xu Clan’s mansion early in the morning. Considering that Ling Chunnie was already very safe living in the Xu Clan, he brought Xiao Hei to his side when he came out this time. After traveling and exploring outside, Xiao Hei could first look for spiritual herbs, and secondly, he was a reliable fighter when he encountered demonic beasts. Oh, he should be considered reliable.
As for the place where he went to hunt demonic beasts, Shen Shi decided to go to Centipede Mountain again after thinking about it. The last time he went there, he met Xu Xing who was ambushed by the cultivators of Mountain Bear Hall. He didn’t really go deep into the mountain range, so he didn’t get much. He could explore it this time. As for the rumors that ghosts had appeared in Centipede Mountain before, Shen Shi had not found any traces of them all day and night when he had gone there last time. It must be some boring rumor that had arisen somewhere.
Having made up his mind, he took Little Hei out of the city and headed for Centipede Mountain. An hour later, he arrived at the foot of Centipede Mountain. As before, because of the vast terrain and dense forests, he did not see any other cultivators. However, compared to the entire mountain range, there should be a large number of cultivators, including rogue cultivators, who came with the same goal.
Shen Shi gathered his spirits and walked towards the mountain. At the same time, he said seriously to Little Hei, “Little Hei, we are going to the Hundred Mountains Realm in a few days. We cannot be careless. We must prepare well. You should try your best to find a few high-grade spirit herbs today. I will also give you a few more spirit crystals, okay?”
Little Hei grinned and nodded. He seemed to be in a good mood. Shen Shi was instantly happier, so one man and one pig walked into the mountain. Who would have thought that after entering the mountain for more than half a day, Shen Shi’s good mood gradually wore off. Little Hei didn’t seem to be particularly lazy. He often sniffed around. However, for some reason, this little pig, which was usually extremely sensitive to spirit herbs, hadn’t found a few spirit herbs in Centipede Mountain for a long time. Occasionally, it would find the most ordinary and lowest tier 1 spirit herbs.
On the contrary, it was Shen Shi who had encountered quite a few low-grade demonic beasts along the way. The spirit materials he had obtained after killing them seemed to be much more valuable.
After a while, Shen Shi finally couldn’t help but say to Little Black, “Hey, stupid pig, if you don’t want to look for it, then forget it. I’m used to being lazy and won’t say anything about you. Why did you learn to pretend recently?”
Little Hei snorted twice. His expression was somewhat puzzled. He squatted at Shen Shi’s feet and looked at the mountain field in front of him. He raised a pig hoof and scratched his neck and chin. He snorted for a while.
Shen Shi glanced at it unhappily and said, “Such a large mountain range is abundant in spiritual energy. It is impossible for it to be without spiritual herbs.” After pausing for a moment, his expression seemed to have thought of something. He couldn’t help but frown, and with a trace of doubt, he muttered to himself,
“On the other hand, there seem to be a lot more demonic beasts on the way. I remember that there weren’t so many demonic beasts in the surrounding mountains the last time I came …”

Liuyun City, Xu Clan’s mansion’s west courtyard.
In the west wing, Ling Chunni sat alone for a long time. Seeing that it was almost dusk, she suddenly woke up from the side of the bronze mirror. She suddenly felt so depressed in the room. She was restless in her heart. She hurriedly walked to the door and pulled the door open. Then, she walked into the courtyard.
The evening breeze blew gently over her face, bringing with it a bit of coldness. It also calmed her down a bit. However, the trace of fear in the depths of her heart seemed to have turned into a poisonous snake that was firmly entangled in her heart and would never let go again.
She felt that it was difficult to breathe. She stood in the small courtyard and looked up at the sky. The sky was dark and low at dusk. There was not the slightest bit of open feeling, as if it made people feel that even this day was going to be difficult for her.
“Ah …”
After looking at it for a long time, her mood suddenly became excited and she couldn’t help but shout out loudly. Ling Chunni remembered that this was an unfamiliar Xu Clan. She immediately regained her senses and quickly covered her mouth, suppressing most of the cries. In this moment of chaos, the despair in her heart lessened a little.
However, although this shout was suppressed, it did not mean that no one heard it. After a while, the door to the east wing of the courtyard suddenly opened. Zhong Qingzhu stood at the door with a surprised expression and said,
“Chun Ni, what’s wrong with you?”
Ling Chunni turned to look at Zhong Qingzhu and forced a smile. She shook her head and said, “I’m fine.”
Zhong Qingzhu frowned slightly and sized up Ling Chunni’s pale face. After a moment of silence, he waved to her and said, “If you’re fine, come in and have a seat.”
Ling Chunni was stunned for a moment. Perhaps it was because she had discovered that white hair and was in a miserable mood, or because the Shen Shi she was thinking about was not beside her and she was especially weak, so in the end, she nodded lightly and walked towards the east wing.
After entering the room, Ling Chunnie suddenly noticed something. She glanced at Zhong Qingzhu with some surprise and said, “Are you able to walk down the ground? Your injury …”
Zhong Qingzhu was still wearing the green carpet. After Ling Chunni entered, she returned to the bed and sat down. After hearing Ling Chunni’s questioning, she smiled faintly and said, “Much better.”
‘”So fast?” Ling Chunni said with a hint of disbelief.
Zhong Qingzhu reached out and gently brushed the wound. She said calmly, “This should have been the case. After the Origin Condensation Realm, a cultivator’s body has gradually become tough and strong, and his recovery is ten times stronger than that of an ordinary person. As long as it’s not a serious injury to the bones, or a poison that corrodes the flesh and bones, under normal circumstances, this injury will heal so quickly, I…” She thought for a moment. After that, he said, “In about three to four days, there will be almost no problem.”
Ling Chunni’s eyes were filled with envy as he said, “It’s really good to have talent.”
Zhong Qingzhu looked at her and said, “What? Don’t you cultivate Dao Arts? I think you are also at the Qi Refining Realm. As long as you cultivate diligently in the future and add in some opportunities, it is possible that you will reach the Origin Condensation Realm. Right, what is the Dao Arts you cultivate?”
“…” Ling Chunni was momentarily at a loss. After a long while, she forced a bitter smile and said, “My talent in cultivation is too weak, and I don’t have any good cultivation methods. At the Origin Condensation Realm … I don’t dare to think about it anymore.”
As he spoke, he seemed to be afraid that Zhong Qingzhu would ask him about his cultivation technique. Ling Chunni quickly changed the topic and said, “Qingzhu, your cultivation is so good. You have cultivated well and are also a disciple of a sect. You must have been to many places, right?”
Zhong Qingzhu was stunned for a moment, then looked at her and asked, “Why did you think of asking this?”
Ling Chunni sighed and said, “I grew up here in Floating Cloud City. I was dependent on my godmother. I haven’t even been out of the Sea Continent for so many years. I’ve practically been wandering around Floating Cloud City. I heard that our Primordial Chaos Master World is incomparably vast. There are countless miraculous places in the world, and I’ve never seen countless marvelous scenes.”
Zhong Qingzhu burst into laughter and shook his head. “Our Primordial Chaos Realm is indeed very vast, but you think highly of me.”
Ling Chunni said, “What’s wrong?”
Zhong Qingzhu smiled and said, “Actually, you think too well of me. To be honest, I haven’t been to any other place for so many years. That is to say, I went to Tianhong City with my master Elder Le two years ago. It was a great eye-opener. I’ve truly experienced the elegance of the number one city in the world.” “As for the other magical places in the vast world, I have never visited them before. However, the days ahead are still long. There will always be a chance to see them.”
Ling Chunni was thoughtful, and a blank look flashed across her face. “Is there always a chance … Qingzhu, is Tianhong City really that good?” She said.
Zhong Qingzhu nodded and said, “Very spectacular, especially the legendary Ten Sceneries of Tian Hong. It is indeed a miraculous creation. It is a wondrous sight in the human world.”
Ling Chunni lowered her head slightly and whispered, “I really want to go take a look.”
Zhong Qingzhu glanced at her and said, “Let Shen Shi take you there. Anyway, you guys …” She didn’t know why she didn’t say anything. Her expression looked a little strange, but Ling Chunni was worried, but she didn’t notice it. However, deep in her eyes, there seemed to be a faint light of yearning slowly shining.
“Tianhong City …”
④
Three days later, Shen Shi returned from his adventure in Centipede Mountain and returned to the Xu Clan’s mansion.
During these three days, Ling Chunni did not find any other signs of aging. However, that white hair was still like a poisonous snake secretly biting her heart, but on the surface, she still made a happy and happy appearance, welcoming Shen Shi’s return.
However, compared to when he left three days ago, Shen Shi’s body had a rather dusty look when he came back this time. It seemed that he had worked hard in the wilderness for the past three days or that fighting with demonic beasts was not easy. At the same time, his expression seemed to be somewhat solemn, as if he was worried.
Ling Chunni suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and made his most beautiful smile to get along with Shen Shi. He whispered softly to relieve his heart. Shen Shi seemed to be smiling very quickly and concealed his worries.
Ling Chunni endured and endured, telling herself not to be impulsive and not to randomly ask for anything. However, after a while, she was unable to endure it. She whispered to Shen Shi, “Shi Shi, shall we go to Tianhong City?”
Shen Shi was stunned. He was a little surprised and said, “Tianhong City? Why do you suddenly want to go there?”
Ling Chunni lowered her eyebrows and sat down beside him. She whispered, “I … I actually want to go there for a long time.”
Shen Shi scratched his head, hesitated for a moment, and said apologetically, “Chun Ni, in another seven to eight days, the sect will be preparing to go to the Hundred Mountains Realm to conduct the selection of elite disciples for the Four Main Conferences. Although I have joined Master, I will still attend according to the rules. It will be considered a training session for Wentian Secret Realm in half a year.” “How about this, when the Hundred Mountain Realm returns, I’ll take you to Tianhong City for a good time, okay?”
After a moment of silence, Ling Chunni said, “When will you return from your trip to the Hundred Mountains Realm?”
“Uh, that’s really hard to say.” Shen Shi shook his head, “I guess it will be at least a month.”
Ling Chunni’s body suddenly trembled and his face turned pale again. Shen Shi was startled and said, “What’s wrong with you? Why is your face so ugly all of a sudden?”
Ling Chunni lowered her head and said nothing. After a long while, she whispered,
“I’m fine.”
“Oh” Shen Shi nodded. He stood up and took a few steps back and forth. Suddenly, he said to Ling Chunnie, “I have something to do. I need to go out first. This matter … you can talk about it when I come back.”
Ling Chunni looked up at him and said, “Where are you going?”
Shen Shi took a deep breath, and the heavy-handed look on his face faintly reappeared. He shook his head and said, “I’m going to the Southern Treasure Square to find someone you don’t know. Let’s just do this. Wait for me to come back.”
After saying that, he hurriedly left.
