I'm About to Die, Can't I Buff My Junior Sister's Strength?

40: The future of the younger generation in Great Xia is about to change!At this moment.

In the Mandarin Duck Tower, everyone was filled with shock. Even after Shen Nian and his group had entered the private room, they still hadn’t fully recovered.

”My heavens, Lord Shen Nian is actually a Dual Cultivator of Body Refining and Sword Dao. What a Prodigy!”

”That Luo Zheng, he couldn’t even withstand a single gaze. What a joke. And they called him Little Vajra? I think he’s more like a little vegetable...”

”You can’t say that. Luo Zheng is indeed powerful, but who would have thought Lord Shen was so... awesome.”

”That’s right, not only is his Body Refining terrifying, but his Sword Dao talent is even more frightening. Under that Sword Intent, I felt like I was about to die just by getting a whiff of it!”

”With a Prodigy like Lord Shen in our Great Xia, what do we have to fear from the Yao Race!”

Everyone at the table was discussing the terrifying Sword Intent from before and its instigator, Shen Nian. Besides shock, their eyes also held a hint of admiration.

Outside the Mandarin Duck Tower.

Next to the shops.

”How is it?” the red-haired man asked, helping Luo Zheng, who had just taken a Medicinal Pill for healing, to his feet.

No one answered.

”Sigh, Little Luo, I know this incident hit you hard, but you don’t have to be so negative. That Shen Nian isn’t on our level at all.”

”Try to think of it differently: he doesn’t really exist, he’s just a dream. Anyway, with his talent, he’s bound to leave Great Xia sooner or later...”

Leaning against the wall, Luo Zheng struggled to open his eyes, which were filled with hollowness. He looked utterly despondent, his mind constantly replaying the image of those ruthless eyes filled with the great sun.

Seeing this, Murong Chen sighed helplessly again, ”People must learn to face reality. There are countless Prodigies in this world. Not to mention those super Prodigies from Eastern Profound who made it onto the profound dragon ranking, just look at my sister, Lu Ya from Xuan Guang Cave, and Leng Lingshuang from Heavenly Sword Sect—aren’t they all above us? Now there’s just one more, it’s nothing.”

”If your Dao Heart collapses just from a setback, then why cultivate immortality?”

”Might as well just die.”

”Senior Brother Murong, your mentality is really good...” Luo Zheng said with a bitter smile.

Murong Chen pouted, ”What good mentality? I just don’t have any other choice. If I had the ability, I would have already rounded them all up and beaten them.”

The white-clothed woman beside him looked at Murong Chen with some surprise. She hadn’t expected him to be able to comfort people.

Luo Zheng’s lips moved slightly, and he spoke again, his voice hoarse, ”I don’t understand.”

He couldn’t understand why such a young Prodigy suddenly appeared. He could accept the other three, who were all at the Nascent Soul Stage.

But this one was only at the Golden Core Stage, the same realm as him!

What was with that Sword Intent?

He expressed his incomprehension!

”Hmph.” Murong Chen said with a look of melancholy, ”Don’t mention it, I haven’t figured it out either. Why is this Shen Nian so abnormal?”

”How does Senior Sister Murong compare to him?” Luo Zheng suddenly asked without warning.

Murong Chen pulled out an apple from somewhere, took a bite, and said, ”Guaranteed.”

Luo Zheng’s expression changed slightly, and even Liu Huihui beside him showed a hint of curiosity. Although she was a Disciple of Sunset Valley, she had been out and about for many years, so she had only heard much about Murong Guoguo, the number one of her generation in Sunset Valley, but had seen little of her.

”Guaranteed to win?” Luo Zheng asked, somewhat disbelieving. Although he knew Senior Sister Murong was very powerful, especially skilled in Formations, if given time, she could even trap and kill a Nascent Soul Great Perfection cultivator.

But Shen Nian was definitely not an ordinary Golden Core. He even felt that a Nascent Soul Great Perfection cultivator might not be able to withstand that one sword strike.

”No.”

”My sister is guaranteed to die.” Murong Chen said casually while eating his apple.

”...” Luo Zheng was speechless.

Liu Huihui rolled her eyes, not wanting to listen any further.

”It’s good that this brute didn’t die, otherwise, that person from Sunset Valley might have murderous intentions.”

”If we really form an enmity with Heavenly Sword Sect...”

The white-clothed woman shivered at the thought, involuntarily recalling the terrifying Sword Intent emanating from the white-clothed figure.

”If I’m not mistaken, that must be the Void Returning Sword Dao recorded in ancient texts...”

”Comprehending Void Returning Sword Dao at the Golden Core Stage...”

”The heavens of Great Xia’s younger generation are about to change...”

”Such a person must never be offended.”

Immediately, Liu Huihui thought for a moment and said, ”You look after him here, I’ll go to the Mandarin Duck Tower.”

Murong Chen immediately said, ”Don’t go, Senior Sister Liu. When Luo Zheng recovers, let’s go apologize together.”

He knew what Liu Huihui was going to do. She was the owner of the Mandarin Duck Tower, and her Junior Brother had provoked Shen Nian. It wouldn’t be right for her not to show up and apologize.

”You can apologize?” Liu Huihui looked at the son of the Sunset Valley Master with some surprise.

This kid had been pampered since childhood, and with his good talent, he was even more doted upon by the Valley Master, accustomed to being arrogant and overbearing.

Fortunately, his Heart-Nature wasn’t bad, and he hadn’t done anything outrageous over the years, at most just instigating his Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters to compete.

”I’m just arrogant, not an idiot. How could I dare to offend Shen Nian with his exaggerated talent?” Murong Chen finished his apple and said irritably.

Liu Huihui fell silent.

What he said made sense.

It seems he’s not that stupid after all.

”Then Luo Zheng, you...”

The next second, Luo Zheng gritted his teeth, stood up, and said, ”I’m fine, let’s go.”

...Inside the private room.

Shen Nian looked at Xia Youyue’s serious expression, a slight surprise in his heart.

Hmm?

Can she overhear my thoughts?

I just thought it, and she spoke?

She wouldn’t have some strange cheat like that, would she?

Meanwhile, Xia Youyue looked at Shen Nian with an expectant expression.

If the previous Xia Youyue was still hesitant, now she had figured it out.

Only by following such a terrifying Prodigy would she continuously feel pressure, forcing her to constantly improve.

Isn’t Xiao Qinger the best example?

She was a straightforward person who disliked beating around the bush. Once she decided, it was better to speak directly.

Listening to Xia Youyue’s words, Xiao Qinger, who was eating nearby, froze for a moment, then looked up in shock.

”Ah?”

”Inspector wants to join Ninth Mountain?”

At the same time, the somewhat weak voice of the Female Yan Emperor also sounded.

”It’s only natural. When you encounter a peer stronger than yourself, you’ll think of surpassing them, but when you encounter a towering mountain, you’ll only think of getting close first before crossing it...”

”Empress, you’re awake!” Xiao Qinger exclaimed in her heart. Previously, the Empress would take at least half a month to recover from her slumber, but she recovered so quickly this time.

”This is all thanks to the Medicinal Pill you took, which contained a trace of Divine Soul healing effect,” the Female Yan Emperor chuckled softly, then her tone turned serious, ”But you were still too impulsive. You can’t be so reckless next time. If you were any slower, both you and I would have gone to the afterlife.”

Facing the desperate counterattack of that Golden Core tiger demon, even she felt somewhat powerless.

If Xiao Qinger’s Divine Body hadn’t Awakened and her vitality wasn’t tenacious, they would have truly died.

Thinking of this, a complex expression flashed in the Female Yan Emperor’s golden eyes. Although she was dissatisfied with Shen Nian giving Xiao Qinger such an unrealistic task, she had to admit that he was truly good to Xiao Qinger. Though she was in slumber, she could still perceive everything that happened.

”I understand, Empress,” Xiao Qinger replied in her heart, but a hint of slyness flickered in her beautiful eyes.

If I don’t risk my life, can I ever catch up to Senior Brother in this lifetime?

Clan Head beside her was also stunned.

Inspector Xia wants to join the Heavenly Sword Sect???

She is from the Great Xia Demon Suppression Division, and rumors say her identity is very special, quite possibly from the imperial family...

This... ”Have you thought it through?”

”You want to join my Ninth Mountain?”

Guo Dewu’s mouth twitched at the side.

This kid!

Didn’t he hear me speak?

He just ignored this old man?
