Chapter 656: Chapter 34: Divine Radiance Protective Body, Like an Immortal, Like a Deity!_3

At the same time.

Xiao Emei heard Jiang Ning’s praise and immediately lowered her head in submission.

"This is what I should do."

"Take this as a reward!"

Jiang Ning raised his hand, and two drops of blood pearl flew to Xiao Emei.

At this moment, the blood pearls were different from before.

The crimson blood pearls were surrounded by a radiant glow, appearing extremely mystical in the deep night.

"Thank you, my lord!" Seeing this, Xiao Emei’s expression lit up with joy.

The next moment.

The two drops of blood pearl flew into her mouth.

The blood pearls entered her body, merging within.

Feeling the change within her, Xiao Emei’s eyes instantly brightened.

"It’s different! The effect is stronger!!"

She immediately sat cross-legged on the spot, transporting qi and blood, activating her inner breath to refine it.

This is the method she had previously discovered.

Activating the refinement actively allowed for better absorption, and the enhancement brought to her physique was even more apparent.

Time passed slowly.

Suddenly.

A faint glow flashed between Xiao Emei’s muscles.

The faint glow seemed to attach itself to her muscles, giving her face a touch of sacred and ethereal charm in the pitch-black night.

Her skin, already fair, became even more jade-like under the shimmering white light, flawless and otherworldly.

"As expected, after refining marrow, the transformation of my life level also made my blood’s effect stronger!"

Jiang Ning, observing this scene, was instantly enlightened.

After a moment.

Xiao Emei slowly opened her eyes, her face slightly flushed, and a hint of attachment flashed in her gaze towards Jiang Ning.

At this moment, she suddenly felt that Jiang Ning was a very important person in her life.

The next moment, the thought passed, and Xiao Emei slowly stood up.

"Thank you, my lord, for bestowing this!!" she said.

Then her gaze fell on the corpse at Jiang Ning’s feet, which had gradually grown cold.

"My lord, my junior sister..."

Jiang Ning said, "She’s gone cold!"

Xiao Emei took a deep breath, suppressing the inexplicable sadness in her heart.

Even if she wished for Yu Manyun’s death to reduce her rivals.

But when the moment truly arrived, her heart was still filled with sorrow.

More than ten years of emotions and memories, at this moment, turned into blades striking at her.

"My lord, can I take Junior Sister Yu away, let her rest in peace?" Then Xiao Emei explained, "After all, we were once fellow disciples."

"You may!" Jiang Ning nodded.

Then he continued to admonish, "You can conceal Yu Manyun’s death for as long as you can. You’re a smart person; I believe you can accomplish this! If there’s any movement from the Water Moon Sword Palace later, remember to inform me!!"

"My lord....." Xiao Emei hesitated, opened her mouth, and then looked up at Jiang Ning. "I can do my best to delay Junior Sister Yu’s death news, but... but I don’t want to betray my master! The grace of raising me, I... I can’t betray my master!"

After speaking, Xiao Emei closed her eyes, showing a posture of leaving herself to Jiang Ning’s disposal.

Seeing Xiao Emei’s defiant stance towards death, Jiang Ning smiled.

"Alright!"

Alright?

Xiao Emei was suddenly stunned, opening her eyes to look at Jiang Ning, her gaze filled with astonishment.

Jiang Ning chuckled, "Whether you want to notify me about Xiao Qiushui’s actions, that’s up to you!"

"Up to me?" Xiao Emei was taken aback again.

Even as she left Jiangning Mansion, she still felt it was a bit incredible.

Jiang Ning suddenly seemed so magnanimous.

Standing outside the mansion, she touched her face, smooth as a mirror, more delicate than a young girl of fourteen or fifteen.

On the other side.

Jiang Ning was also not angry about Xiao Emei’s choice.

Just as Xiao Emei had said, Xiao Qiushui had raised her with grace.

The grace of raising is greater than the grace of giving birth.

If Xiao Emei could betray even this, then in the future, betraying him would just be a casual move.

Moreover, whether Xiao Emei would disclose Xiao Qiushui’s movements didn’t concern him that much.

A person like Xiao Qiushui, the foremost below Grandmaster in Dongling County, would naturally be very concerned about honor.

If she wanted to cause him trouble, she would do it openly and rightfully.

If Xiao Qiushui were to make a move, her purpose would also be to restore the honor of the Water Moon Sword Palace.

How could she retrieve the honor of the Water Moon Sword Palace through stealthy and underhanded means?

Such sneaky actions would not only fail to restore the honor of the Water Moon Sword Palace for someone like Xiao Qiushui, but it would also degrade the dignity of the Water Moon Sword Palace.

And if Xiao Qiushui came looking for trouble, why would he fear her?

Both are Fourth Grade, merely distinguished by their level in marrow refining.

Apart from the number of marrow refinements, he surpassed Xiao Qiushui in every other aspect.

Plus, with various augmentations, how could he fear Xiao Qiushui, who is of the same Fourth Grade?

Not to mention, there was still some time before Xiao Qiushui came looking.

In that time, his strength could advance another level!
