Chapter 25: Secret Mission Because she had bled, her wounds and clothing had stuck together. Although Ning Guang slowly and gently opened them from her collar with light hands, Di Jiufeng still drew a cold breath in pain. She faintly shivered, drawing Ning Guang"s eyes, dark until they frosted over.
"Shifu… Shifu… It"s all my fault…" I will definitely get revenge for you.
Ning Guang clenched her teeth, the killing intent in her heart rising up in a drowning tide. Her brows were furrowed deathly tight, her gloomy expression startling even the air into sluggishness. She knew her Shifu didn"t like killing people, so she hid her killing intent firmly in the bottom of her heart. But, in the end, she had forgotten one thing, that was the existence of that fraudulent reformation system.
When Ning Guang rose her killing intent, the reformation system had been activated by a secret mission.
It didn"t want to show its face in front of the ancient witch, but this secret mission had already been promoted to the main line. If it didn"t remind its host to complete it, even it would receive punishment.
The System, with a handful of snot and a handful of tears, collapsed on the ground and cried for a bit, but in the end, before its computer chip started leaking electricity, weakly called Di Jiufeng.
"Host, host, there"s a secret mission, if you complete it you can advance your mission completion bar by one percent, and you can get a super experience pill to make you ascend directly to Middle-Stage Deity Transformation." The System quietly called Di Jiufeng, tugging at the corner of its own computer chip, weakly twisting it up.
Di Jiufeng didn"t have the heart to do missions in the first place, but hearing the reward was an experience pill that would let her breakthrough to the Deity Transformation stage suddenly caught her attention.
She said, "What mission is it, take it out and let me see."
With a "di", the System brought out the mission panel, pointing at the small letters on it and saying, "The ancient witch wants to put Qian Sui and his disciple to death. If you can persuade her to put down the butcher"s knife and spare their lives, you will complete the mission."
Di Jiufeng let out a cold "haha". Does she look very magnanimous? They got her into this state, and she"s still supposed to stop her disciple from venting her anger for her. She wasn"t stupid, why should she do this sort of mission. But, she really did want that experience pill. If she could ascend to Middle-Stage Deity Transformation, then see who in this sect would dare casually bully them.
"This mission is not particularly reasonable, I will need an additional reward."
Di Jiufeng clicked her tongue. Her wounds didn"t hurt anymore, and she had regained her strength.
Seeing this look of hers, the fox exploiting the tiger"s might, the System just wanted to kick her to death, but it didn"t have any feet, ah, and it didn"t have the guts. The System began to cry "yingyingying", and after a long time, it finally said, cheeks streaming with tears, choking with sobs, "This System is so poor, it doesn"t have a secret treasury stashed away, with my scope of authority I can only add on five hundred fortune points. Host, host, can you accept it?"
Di Jiufeng gave two cold laughs. She wasn"t especially satisfied, but seeing this pitiful thing"s gla.s.s heart shattered into crumbs, she could only nod her head in distaste. "As my System, if you don"t have a secret treasury, then go earn some yourself. If you can"t earn any, then go learn how to hack the program, I know you can. Next time we meet, if you can"t give me satisfying conditions, my disciple will find you for a chat herself."
After successfully threatening the system, Di Jiufeng began to ponder how to complete her mission.
Her disciple had killing intent, but she still did not understand, how could she expose her intentions?
Di Jiufeng thought, but still didn"t have any good methods after a long time. She could only turn around and first look at Ning Guang.
This look made Di Jiufeng think that her earlier worries had all been for nought. The killing intent on Ning Guang"s face was practically about to transform into true-natured immortal astral wind, a.s.sailing and wreaking havoc around her whole body.
"Ning Guang, who do you want to kill?" She didn"t need to conceal it at all, directly asking the question.
After being exposed, the vicious energy around Ning Guang"s whole body was not curbed at all. She said, "I want to kill Qian Sui and his disciple. Did that resentful ghost tell you? I vaguely heard a bit, but what I could hear was not much."
The words the System had spoken to her had unexpectedly been heard by Ning Guang. Di Jiufeng felt her entire person was stupefied.
Her eyes opened round, misty peach blossom eyes a stupefied circle. She looked rather cute, and Ning Guang couldn"t resist slowing her breath, reaching out a hand to poke her eyelashes. "That resentful ghost wants you to stop me from killing people? You know I will always listen to you, but that tone of voice I absolutely cannot endure. What about this, I will spare their lives, and as for how I deal with them, it"s all up to me, all right?"
Ning Guang suddenly grew tyrannical, and Di Jiufeng felt a bit powerless to resist. In any case, she wasn"t very willing in the first place, and it was good to have her disciple voice her resentment. But, she didn"t know, this mission…
Just when she was thinking of it, the System let out a "di".
It did not want to see Di Jiufeng at all and said, indignantly swinging its little handkerchief, "Honorable host, congratulations on completing this mission at the speed of light. The reward has already been delivered, you can self-withdraw it from the System s.p.a.ce at any time. Now, this System will go learn some hacker techniques, goodbye." It shut down with the speed of swift thunder too fast to cover one"s ears.
Having received her reward, Di Jiufeng felt quite satisfied and didn"t haggle.
Because she had suffered punishment by lightning and lost too much blood, Di Jiufeng was a bit out of energy in the first place. Now that they had gone back and forth for so long, she really couldn"t hold on, lying down and fainting right away.
Ning Guang held her on her legs, opening her clothes and slowly applying medicine.
Most of Di Jiufeng"s injuries were concentrated on her back, blood and flesh unclear, in some places even showing white bone. Ning Guang"s heart hurt to the extreme, and she felt it had been solidly crushed into watery blood, a sharp tearing pain making her nearly unable to breathe for a split second.
"Shifu…" Ning Guang gasped for breath, evenly smearing the medicine bit by bit onto her back.
The first-rate coagulant covered her back straight to her waist. She had not been injured there, showing a bit of sleek and exquisite skin, reflecting the clear and cold moon, shining to make one want to commit a crime. Though she knew the time was not right, Ning Guang still could not resist covering it with her hand.
A red-hot palm pressed on warm-cool skin, making Ning Guang suddenly feel a shiver. She felt a wave of numbness burst up from her tailbone, bewitching her to slowly move her hand up. Like a guilty thief, Ning Guang even held her breath, but before her fingertip touched the jade pistil of the white lotus at the tip of the snowy mountain, she thought of something, covering her back up with her clothing.
"Get out here!" Ning Guang spoke in a vicious whisper, a puff of demonic energy rushing forth into her palm, going straight to entangle the System in Di Jiufeng"s body.
The System was playing dead, but now it couldn"t hide, shiveringly casting out an image.
"Honorable one, honorable one, you called on this lowly one." It obsequiously threw itself down by Ning Guang"s leg. The System wanted to play it cute, but before it spilled out some little flowers, it was bound up tight by a ball of demonic energy.
Ning Guang was not Di Jiufeng and had plenty of methods to deal with it. Added to her recent successes in demonic cultivation, the System even more had no way to play its tricks.
"Why must you be on my Shifu"s body? What are your objectives, explain yourself honestly, or else I"ll destroy your awareness!"
