The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 442 Marriage Contract, Rival in Love [Part 8]

【7. Cause and Effect, Incarnation】

During her three years in the Jade Purity Sect, her cultivation progressed smoothly, soaring from the peak of the sixth rank to the peak of the ninth rank, before finally encountering a minor bottleneck at the tenth rank.

The saying goes, "Haste makes waste." It's not that she lacks the foundation and experience, but rather that her constant rushing around and restless mind have led her to hit a bottleneck.

Therefore, in order to seek inner peace and a breakthrough, she resolutely went down the mountain to travel and see the world.

During this time, she happened to move into the Miaoyin Pavilion in Sunset City, and with her extraordinary talent, she became proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting in three months, and knowledgeable in medicine, tea and literature in three months.

However, a doctor cannot heal himself; she could use her medical skills to save and guide others, but she could not save herself. The Heavenly Silkworm Mind-Controlling Gu was also far more troublesome than she had imagined; she could only suppress it, but could not eradicate it.

Fortunately, her icy-attribute cultivation technique is effective against the Heavenly Silkworm Gu, and with the addition of some medicine, she is no longer afraid of the Gu poison's mind-controlling and life-threatening effects.

This is also one of the reasons why she dares to disobey and refuse to accept missions assigned by the evil spirit master organization.

……

Then came Gujing Village.

Encountering the ghost spirit, first meeting the man in black.

"Have you hugged enough?"

A cold, sweet voice rang out, interrupting the black-clad man's stunned state.

He subconsciously released his left hand, turned around and gave the white-clad woman, whose pretty face was slightly flushed, an awkward smile.

"There was a moment of crisis just now, I meant no offense!"

The man didn't offer much explanation, and the woman didn't act unreasonably as expected.

"Yes. Thank you..."

The woman in white nodded in response, glanced at the man in black with a complicated expression, turned and left, disappearing into the night in no time.

Wait until you're far away.

Frost's heart was pounding.

Sometimes she would stroll gracefully, asking, "Feng Ling, is he the guardian you foretold?" Other times she would stamp her feet in embarrassment and frustration, exclaiming, "Oh no, it's the feeling of falling in love!"

……

Three years ago, Feng Ling sensed that his divine power was waning and he feared he could no longer protect her, so he guided her through a prophecy left by a wind spirit:

Senior sister, three years from now, on a certain night, if you remember my prophecy, please be sure to make a trip to Ancient Well Village. At that time, you will encounter danger in Ancient Well Village, and the one who saves you will be the guardian avatar of my Wind Spirit!
Although my incarnation at that time had lost this memory and did not remember you, he would still protect you by fate!

The embodiment of the wind spirit: I am who I am: the wind spirit—Feng Ling!
……

Three years later, everything was back on track, and events were unfolding methodically according to the known course of events. Feng Ling also understood why Leng Ning Shuang had secretly fallen for him and cared for him so much... it all stemmed from the deep-seated feelings he himself had for her!

Although this somewhat confused cause and effect, making Feng Ling feel incredulous, the truth was indeed so convoluted, bizarre, and unbelievable.

After all, the law of cause and effect is profound and complex!
With Feng Ling's current cultivation level and shallow understanding of the Dao of Cause and Effect, it is still difficult for him to ascertain whether cause precedes effect or effect precedes cause. It's even possible that they are mutually causal!
……

Sunset City, Ice Jade Pavilion.

In the dream, Feng Ling annihilated the withered white general's body, secretly leaving a sliver of hope before escaping.

However, it was all a matter of timing and fate!

Leng Ningshuang, disguised as Hei Yan, descended upon the Ice Jade Pavilion with the aim of obtaining the ghostly spirit body of the evil spirit master Bai Wu, in preparation for advancing to the legendary realm and becoming a quasi-saintess, thus canceling the engagement based on her strength. Initially, Bai Wu refused, but after witnessing Hei Yan's talent and potential, and after she subdued the Water Dragon Frost Jade, he willingly agreed to offer his ghostly spirit body, requesting Hei Yan to kill someone.

Therefore, Black Smoke, also known as Cold Frost, had made a promise to White Bone: as long as it wasn't an epic-level ghost spirit master, she would help White Crow kill that person.

It turned out that the person was none other than the Demon Prince Xing Zhai!

The reason for the feud between Baiwu and Xingzhai was that Xingzhai, the demonic disciple, took the money but did not do his job. Not only did he not treat Baiwu's junior brother, Heishui Tu, who was devoured by Yin Sha Blood Rain, but he also beat Baiwu, who came to reason with him, and kicked him out of the Red Lotus Demonic Sect.

Fortunately, Bai Wu was severely injured and lost a level by Xing Zhai; otherwise, Feng Ling might not have been able to defeat him when he later encountered the Sun family in Sunset City.

Furthermore, there's still more to come in the developments...

In order to clear away obstacles within the Red Lotus Demon Sect for Leng Ningshuang and to establish his own formidable power, Xing Zhai, the Demon Prince, became increasingly ruthless and brutal in his killing methods.

At the same time, his cultivation level also advanced rapidly after killing and devouring a large number of ghost spirits. He quickly passed the mortal tribulation and reached the early stage of mortal sainthood.

After reaching the early stage of the Mortal Saint realm, Xing Zhai urgently needed a Divine Stone to stabilize his realm, so he urged Huo Xie Dao Ren to quickly seize the Jade Purity Sect and obtain the Divine Stone.

Huo Xie offered up the God Stone and the blood essence of a large number of dying people in exchange for cultivation resources such as ghost spirits from Xing Zhai Demon Prince.

This was a bloody deal that Xingzhai the Demon Prince and Huo Xie had agreed upon beforehand!
Therefore, Xing Zhai was also implicated in the internal strife that broke out in the Yuqing Sect and the deaths of the second and third elders!
In particular, the evil teleportation array that saved Leng Ningshuang at the end of the battle at Yuqing Sect was personally given to Huo Xie Daoren by Xing Zhai.

The terrifying aura that Feng Tianjue sensed rising from the other end of the teleportation array was emanating from Xing Zhai, who was at the Mortal Saint Realm.

In other words, Xing Zhai had already revealed his presence; he was on the other end of the teleportation array!
However, Feng Ling was unaware of Xing Zhai's existence at that time, and Xing Zhai was too busy eliminating dissidents within the Red Lotus Demonic Sect to notice Feng Ling.

……

8. Childhood sweethearts

The training trip to Yuqing Sect has come to an end.

Leng Ningshuang successfully became one of the four quasi-saintesses, and in front of everyone, she narrowly defeated Xingzhai Mozi, whose cultivation was suppressed to the legendary realm.

The first engagement crisis has been resolved!
Moreover, on the dueling stage, life and death are irrelevant!
During the martial arts competition, Leng Ning Shuang had several opportunities to kill Xing Zhai Mo Zi, who was completely unprepared for her, but she ultimately couldn't bring herself to do it!
Especially when Xing Zhai affectionately mentioned that they had known each other since childhood, when she called him "Brother Xing Zhai" and he called her "Sister Shuang'er".

Leng Ning Shuang stared at Xing Zhai for a few moments, then finally, her body trembled slightly as she bit her lip and withdrew the sword that had slashed Xing Zhai's neck.

Clearly, Xing Zhai secretly used a secret technique, and it is very likely that it was the Daoist and Demonic Deduction Technique!

Therefore, it is very likely that with Xing Zhai's help, Leng Ning Shuang remembered her own background and that they were probably childhood sweethearts!
"Hiss!" Upon seeing this scene, Feng Ling's figure, which remained in the dream space, became increasingly illusory, and he felt that he could not breathe properly and almost suffocated.

Although the childhood sweetheart relationship was just Feng Ling's subjective guess, his heart ached terribly, an unparalleled pain!
Could it be because her memories have returned and she's fallen for someone else? Impossible, Feng Ling doesn't believe it!
Even if they were childhood sweethearts, after so many years apart, their feelings should have faded long ago. So why did she stop and let Xing Zhai go when she had the chance to kill him?

Lost in his thoughts, Feng Ling's tense nerves not only failed to relax, but his sense of crisis intensified, and he wished he could immediately question her.

Unfortunately, Feng Ling can only silently watch the situation unfold. Even if he shouts until his throat is hoarse, no one in this dream space can respond.

Of course, when Leng Ning Shuang faces some critical situations, the divine power sealed within Feng Ling's body will still be activated to protect her.

However, this behavior occurs passively; once Feng Ling wants to do something proactively, the divine power will return to its sealed state.

Every time a creature hatches, it's a new beginning...

The world is full of chaos and troubles; may the sages and saints offer you a pure land for your souls.
