Despite having stuck a talisman on herself, she still felt like her body was in an icy cave. By the time she finally returned to the villa, her face was blue and her lips were black.
The Xie father and son were waiting for her at the villa. When they saw Ning Shu like this, they hastily asked, “What’s wrong with you?”
Ning Shu first filled two bowls of exorcism soup and gulped them down. She then pasted another talisman on her body, which emitted bubbling black smoke.
After finishing all these, Ning Shu said to Xie Weiming, “Don’t let your employees work for the time being.”
Having suffered such a great loss, Feng Yin would definitely retaliate.
Xie Weiming asked, “What’s wrong?”
“I failed to exterminate him. He might want to retaliate.” Ning Shu’s body felt weak.
Xie Weiming nodded. “Alright.” Then, he sighed. “The company will have to suffer losses, I guess.”
Ning Shu pursed her lips and said, “What business would there be if the people themselves die? We need to be always on guard now. The Phantom King will definitely come for us.”
Ning Shu went upstairs after saying that and returned to her room. She sat on her bed to cultivate, guiding her energy to repair the parts of her heart that had been damaged by the Yin and baleful energy. Especially when Feng Yin’s palm had slapped her chest, all her heart veins were injured.
The cultivating Ning Shu frowned. The Yin and baleful energy in her body was filling her eyes and ears with all sorts of illusions.
She had experienced many worlds, and the images of these worlds flashed before her one by one. These were so complex and complicated that Ning Shu’s mind became a mess.
Ning Shu’s heart turned impatient. All sorts of negative emotions spewed out, and she suddenly began to question her purpose. Why was she struggling through world after world like this, with no end in sight?
Day in and day out, without a life of her own, donning someone else’s skin, there was literally no end to such days.
What was the point of surviving it all alone?
Ning Shu’s body was billowing with black smoke, her brows were dark, and his eyes were filled with blood.
As the Yin and baleful energy corroded Ning Shu’s mind, she stood up, walked out onto the balcony, and looked down. A thought suddenly emerged in her heart.
She could just jump off and be done with it. She was busting her ass here, yet for what? Yes, it might be to survive. But to have experienced so much of the world, it was already enough.
An endless, lonely life was just meaningless and unbearable. And who even remembered her?
What meaning was there to live?
A sudden compulsion to jump surfaced in Ning Shu’s heart. She closed her eyes and stepped forward.
“Ning Shu, did you go stupid again?” 2333’s voice sounded in Ning Shu’s mind at this time.
Ning Shu retracted her foot and said indifferently, “I suddenly feel so tired. The baleful energy only stirred up the fatigue buried deep within me.”
Ning Shu’s brain was clear.
2333 said after a long silence, “If you want, I can eliminate you and dissolve our contract.”
Ning Shu sighed and sat down on the ground, silently chanting the heart-clearing chant in her heart to dispel the negative emotions.
Ning Shu pasted a couple of talismans on her body, went downstairs, and downed another two bowls of exorcism soup. She then lay flat on her bed and silently recited the heart-clearing chant, falling asleep while doing so.
The next morning when Ning Shu woke up, her mood was much clearer. The talismans and medicine had shown their effects, and the Yin and baleful energy in her body was gone. However, her chest was still hurting. Coughs would result in bursts of pain, as did walking a little faster.
This one could only heal slowly. She had to rely on the energy in her dantian to repair the damage to the heart veins.
