Chapter 234: Chapter 150: Return to Tianyuan World (First Update)

Tianyuan World, Ghost Ridge Palace.

Su Jie stepped out of the practice room, took a deep breath, and savored the Spiritual Energy that was absent in Blue Star.

“Greetings, Young Master, on your emergence!”

Seeing Su Jie, a servant immediately knelt down to pay respects.

“Go prepare some food for me, and also, notify a few of my friends to come over for a gathering.”

Su Jie stretched lazily, instructing someone to summon his friends.

After stretching his limbs, Su Jie walked to the garden in the backyard of the residence and saw a young girl leisurely sunbathing there, with a maid beside her narrating a book.

It was none other than Ning Xinyue, who possessed the Xuanyin Body.

“You, girl, really know how to enjoy yourself!”

Su Jie walked up and pinched Ning Xinyue’s delicate nose.

“Ow, who is it!”

Unable to breathe, Ning Xinyue opened her eyes, showing a fierce expression.

But seeing that it was Su Jie, her expression softened.

“Why are you here?”

Ning Xinyue’s words immediately made Su Jie burst into laughter.

“This is my home, you ask why I am here? It’s me who should be asking that. How did you end up in my home?”

Su Jie pinched Ning Xinyue’s cheek and then looked at the maid beside her, asking, “Did this one sneak over to freeload while I was in seclusion?”

“How can you speak so unpleasantly? What do you mean freeload? I clearly came to visit, do you understand visit?”

Ning Xinyue puffed up her cheeks, looking like a cute, angry pufferfish.

The maid, put on the spot, didn’t know how to respond.

“Alright, stop it, I know she’s been here often.”

Su Jie gestured dismissively, knowing from Ning Xinyue’s comfortable demeanor that it wasn’t her first time enjoying herself at his estate.

Given the close relationship between Ning Xinyue and Su Jie, the servants were well aware and certainly wouldn’t dare obstruct her too much.

“What can I do? It’s only the inner disciples of Ghost Ridge Palace like you who get allocated estates. Those stone caves and hollows are uncomfortable to live and eat in. You wouldn’t want to see such a cute, beautiful, and clever friend of yours suffer, would you?”

Ning Xinyue put on a pitiful expression, sounding very heartbroken and helpless.

It’s not that she couldn’t endure hardships. In the past, when she ran around the forests with Su Jie, weren’t they always exposed to the elements? But now, inside the sect, with better conditions available, naturally, she wouldn’t want to put herself through hardships.

“Sorry, I really don’t mind either way.”

Su Jie answered without hesitation, leaving Ning Xinyue speechless.

“You, calling yourself a friend. Is this how you treat your friends?”

“Being my friend comes with a price.”

“I have no money.”

Ning Xinyue rolled her eyes and sprawled in the chair, adopting an ‘I won’t leave no matter what you do’ attitude.

“Xiao Qian, come out, let’s play a game.”

This trick might work on others, but thinking it would work on Su Jie was wishful thinking; he knew all too well what this young girl feared the most.

As soon as the words were out, the Thousand-Handed Centipede crawled out of Su Jie’s sleeve, making a move as if to pounce on Ning Xinyue.

Yikes!

Ning Xinyue turned pale and leapt up as if flying.

Although she had encountered the thousand-hand centipede many times, she was still afraid of its appearance.

Especially after not seeing it for a while, she felt that the thousand-hand centipede looked even more ferocious than before.

Su Jie, grinning widely, casually lay back in the chair, occupying Ning Xinyue’s seat, which irritated Ning Xinyue to the point of itching teeth.

“Can’t you have some decency, always scaring me with bugs?”

“Please, I am a demon cultivator, talking to me about decency is a joke, isn’t it!”

Ning Xinyue thought about it and realized he was right, with nowhere to vent her frustration.

“Haven’t you taken any missions in these months?”

Su Jie looked at Ning Xinyue; this girl seemed far too leisurely.

“Humph, I’m just at the third level of Yunling Realm, who would send me on a mission!”

A sly glint flickered in Ning Xinyue’s eyes; she had always masqueraded as a newly admitted genius girl. Unless she was willing, such a talent, in its infancy, was not something the sect wanted to throw into battle and waste potential.

“You sure are cunning.”

Su Jie figured it out too; no wonder the girl was so relaxed, spending her time leisurely here at Su Jie’s residence while others were engaged in deadly sect battles.

But strictly speaking, the girl wasn’t really a demon cultivator; she indeed had no obligation to serve Ghost Ridge Palace.

“That’s right, I’m the smartest.”

Ning Xinyue proudly lifted her chin, then her gaze lingered on Su Jie, poking his arm with her slender fingers, curious, “Has your strength improved again? And your centipede, it seems to have metamorphosed, hasn’t it?”

An electric light flashed over Su Jie’s body, as Purple Cloud Heavenly Thunder was triggered, instantly brightening the surroundings into a vast expanse of white.

Ning Xinyue’s instincts kicked in, internal frost like a cold moon, the frost fog freezing the void, keeping the thunder outside.

“What are you doing, you scared me!”

Ning Xinyue patted her chest, startled by Su Jie’s action.

“Being secluded for so long, I had to have some gains to show before coming out.”

Su Jie stroked the thousand-hand centipede lying in his arms, his gaze wandering over Ning Xinyue: “But you, your strength hasn’t fallen behind, has it!”

From that probe just now, Su Jie could clearly feel that Ning Xinyue’s cultivation had grown significantly since their last encounter, almost reaching the top level of Yunling Realm.

It seemed that after fixing the flaws of her Xuanyin Body, her strength was advancing by leaps and bounds, truly reflecting the potential of her divine body.

“I’m going to advance to the Secret Realm soon; by then, you’ll be left far behind.”

As Ning Xinyue spoke, thinking about surpassing Su Jie’s cultivation in the future and getting back at him for all the times he had bullied her, making him cry and beg for mercy, she couldn’t help but giggle foolishly.

“Are you thinking of defeating me in strength and then making me repent everything I’ve done?”

Su Jie narrowed his eyes, and his words snapped Ning Xinyue back to reality.

“I never thought that, you’re making it up.”

Ning Xinyue waved her hands repeatedly, though denying it, her facial expression was all too telling.

“Dream on, little girl,”

Faking annoyance, Su Jie stood up, intending to catch Ning Xinyue.

Ning Xinyue quickly stepped back, shouting, “Stinky Su Jie, you’re just bullying me because you’re stronger now, wait till I reach the Secret Realm, then you’ll see how amazing I can be.”

Su Jie smirked, “Xiao Qian, go bite her.”

Seeing the menacing thousand-hand centipede, Ning Xinyue dared not talk back, “Stop, don’t! I was just joking.”

Walking over, Su Jie thumped Ning Xinyue’s smooth forehead.

“Ouch.”

With teary eyes, Ning Xinyue secretly vowed that there would come a time for revenge; the tables would turn, don’t underestimate a girl’s poverty—she would definitely make Su Jie taste his own medicine.
