Chapter 654: Chapter 34: Divine Radiance Protective Body, Like a Fairy, Like a God!

The moonlight is hazy.

The sky is dark.

Because the weather was so good during the day, the temperature of the night in Dongling City is even lower now.

The cold mountain wind blows through Dongling City, and most households have closed their doors and windows, returning home to hold their wives by the warm fireside.

At this moment.

A shadowy figure leaps over the tall vermilion courtyard walls of the mansion.

Yu Manyun moves swiftly, delving deep into the manor.

Meanwhile, most of her attention is directed towards the direction where Jiang Ning is located in the east courtyard.

At this moment, the east courtyard is illuminated with flames, and from within the manor, she can see a fierce tiger bathed in blazing fire.

"During martial arts practice, the last thing one wants is an outsider’s disturbance!"

"He is practicing now, he must be fully absorbed, it’s the perfect opportunity for me to act!!"

Yu Manyun silently encourages herself, gradually calming her nervous heart.

Then she continues to advance in the dark.

On the other side.

Outside the mansion walls.

Xiao Emei removes her veil, revealing a gentle and beautiful face.

She looks towards the east courtyard where Jiang Ning is situated, speechless for a moment.

The reason she just decided to change her plan and not enter with Yu Manyun is that Jiang Ning’s command reached her ears at the very moment she was about to move.

From then on, she also knew that her junior sister, Yu Manyun, entering Jiang Ning’s manor, was akin to a sheep entering a tiger’s den, with no return.

"Junior Sister, I’m sorry..." she murmurs in her heart, a faint apology showing in her eyes.

Soon, her fluctuating gaze becomes more resolute.

"He is the reincarnation of an Ancient Great God, such a great opportunity, I must seize it!!!"

This thought flashes through Xiao Emei’s mind, seemingly convincing herself, strengthening her resolve.

...

East courtyard.

The firelight suddenly shifts into an orange-yellow glow.

At this moment, Jiang Ning’s Fist Force has shifted from Tiger Stance to Bear Stance.

On the other side.

Seeing this scene in the east courtyard, Yu Manyun momentarily stops to observe and feels relieved in her heart.

The shift in stance, in her view, means Jiang Ning is wholly engrossed in his practice.

Moreover, she has been inside the manor for some time, and Jiang Ning has not reacted, instead continuing to be absorbed in his practice, honing new stances.

This behavior reassures her greatly.

Suddenly.

A flickering voice reaches her ears.

"No, no!!"

"Little Dumpling doesn’t want to sleep with brother, wants to sleep with daddy and mommy, right in the middle of daddy and mommy!!"

It’s her!!

Yu Manyun expresses joy.

The childish voice instantly helped her identify the speaker as Jiang Ning’s little niece, that five-year-old girl.

The next moment.

She quickly heads towards the courtyard from where the voice emanated.

At the same time.

Little Dumpling, with Jiang Li and Liuu Wanwan’s coaxing and persuasion, pouts as she is led by Liuu Wanwan towards the room’s door.

Creak—

The door is opened by Liuu Wanwan.

The courtyard is pitch-black, the cloud-covered moonlight too dim to provide any illumination to the earth.

At this moment, Yu Manyun, clad in black nightwear, also enters this courtyard.

Upon stepping into the courtyard, she sees both Liuu Wanwan and Little Dumpling.

"Found them!!"

She expresses great joy.

Then her eyes start spinning wildly, at times bursting with murderous intent, at others letting it dissipate.

She ponders how to handle this situation.

Three people, should she kill them or not!

This is a decision she finds difficult to make.

All this transpires in an instant.

Liuu Wanwan, still smiling blissfully, pulls open the door, holding Little Dumpling in her right hand, and lifts her leg to step over the threshold into the courtyard.

At this moment, Yu Manyun is merely about ten zhang away from Liuu Wanwan and Little Dumpling.

For Yu Manyun, ten zhang can be covered in an instant.

Suddenly.

The air becomes stagnant, and Yu Manyun suddenly feels as if ten thousand heavy objects are weighing down on her body.

Not good!!!

Her expression changes dramatically.

Quickly, she looks up at the east courtyard where Jiang Ning is.

She sees the previous orange-yellow glow of the east courtyard has dissipated, and a white light rises.

In an instant.

The white light pierces through the void.

So fast!!!

Yu Manyun’s pupils contract.

In the very next moment, she sees that Jiang Ning, enveloped in white radiance, has already landed on the courtyard wall where she is.

The white light emanating from Jiang Ning’s pores casts a gentle glow, making his arrival seem like that of a divine being.

The radiating white brilliance provides illumination, like a humanoid bulb lighting up the pitch-black courtyard.

"Ah... Ah Ning!!" Liuu Wanwan is utterly shocked, seeing Jiang Ning enveloped in white radiance.

"Uncle!!!" Little Dumpling is instantly joyful and exuberant.

Jiang Ning nods at them with a smile.

At this moment.

Boom—

There is a tumult from inside the house, and Jiang Li appears instantly behind Liuu Wanwan and Little Dumpling.

"Ah... Ah Di!!!"

Seeing Jiang Ning enveloped in white radiance, godlike and exuding an ethereal aura, Jiang Li is left with his mouth slightly agape, looking at Jiang Ning in disbelief.

Jiang Ning once again nods slightly at Jiang Li, then looks toward Yu Manyun.

At this moment, Yu Manyun meets Jiang Ning’s gaze, her heart filled with dread.

"Divine Radiance Protective Body!!!"

Jiang Li and the others cannot discern the nature of it.

But she can.

She is a true disciple of the Water Moon Sword Palace, the first disciple under the Grandmaster of Dongling County, Xiao Qiushui.

Seeing Jiang Ning enveloped in white radiance, she immediately recognizes this as the Divine Radiance left from drawing the Power of Heaven and Earth into the body, drawing Heavenly Marrow into the body, and refining the bone marrow.

The state of Divine Radiance Protective Body is a transient phenomenon that appears after any fourth-grade Martial Artist refines their bone marrow.

As the refining of the bone marrow ends, the protective Divine Radiance also gradually fades over time.
