Banshee Family Training Record

You Wensi frowned almost imperceptibly: "Then isn't the gap between you two just as big? Do you really think your mediocre skills can compare to the profound foundation of the Qingyun Sect?"

Ye Jinglan was very displeased. She lowered her head, frowned, and reluctantly replied, "Yes."

Seeing her lower her head, You Wensi continued, "So, this secret realm is your last chance."

“I know you want to prove that you are no worse than those geniuses. I have seen your efforts. I believe you are no worse than Yan Shuiyi. She is just lucky and has a powerful sect supporting her.”

"Defeat her, and you will become the new generation's pride of the Central Plains."

She tried so hard to persuade her, but Ye Jinglan kept her head down, her eyes darting around, and she didn't seem to have much on her mind.

She simply wanted a fair and square fight with Yan Shuiyi to see what her opponent was good at and where she herself was lacking. The fight was just a means to an end; the goal was to improve her martial arts skills. Winning or losing didn't matter; she would be happy whether she won or lost.

She never even considered "defeating Yan Shuiyi and taking the title of the number one prodigy." What a joke! What meaning would such a title have, other than bringing endless trouble upon herself?

This was Ye Jinglan's idea, but clearly, You Wensi wouldn't allow her to refuse.

Moreover, she suspected that You Wensi must have her own purpose in suddenly telling her these things.

Didn't she really want to kill Yan Shuiyi?

Is she... using me as a weapon?

The ghostly butterfly didn't say much, just responded and then turned and left. So, only You Wensi and Qi Qiao remained in the room.

Qi Qiao looked obediently at her adoptive mother. Although she couldn't understand why her adoptive mother was her mother, she still tried her best to make her expression obedient.

Only when facing her alone did You Wensi, this ruthless female demon who killed without hesitation, finally soften her expression.

Her expression was complicated as she gazed at Qi Qiao for a long time before finally speaking softly, "You really like that Yun Chu'an, don't you?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Qiao blushed. As a zombie, a ghost who was clearly dead, her cheeks flushed slightly. She lowered her head, but still managed a weak nod, replying, "Yes, I'm always happy when I'm with him."

She began to experience very obvious emotional fluctuations, just like now, she was clearly overjoyed.

This sentence made You Wensi's feelings quite complicated: "You actually like him that much... Well, the things he does are indeed likable."

"only……"

The woman also lowered her head, frowned, and after a moment, said softly, "Your birth mother was kind to me. If it weren't for her guidance back then, I'm afraid I would have been used as firewood and chopped up to burn in a stove. How could I have achieved what I have today?"

“Although I, You Wensi, am an absolute demon, I will repay any kindness I have received. Your mother’s greatest wish before she died was for you to return to this world. I was unable to save her back then, so I will definitely help her fulfill her last wish.”

Qi Qiao blinked, looking confused, unable to remember who her birth mother was.

Looking at all this, You Wensi knew it was normal, but she couldn't help feeling disappointed. She shook her head slightly and gave a bitter smile: "Don't you understand? That's normal, since you probably won't be able to find your memories from your previous life either."

Qi Qiao couldn't understand, but she sensed something and asked with a worried expression, "Mother, has Yun Chu'an done anything wrong? I can help him correct it."

You Wensi shook her head: "It's nothing, Qiao'er, you don't need to worry about it."

"Exactly, you need to be prepared. He has his own ambitions, and one day he might suddenly disappear. I've seen many cases like this. You need to be mentally prepared so you won't be too heartbroken, okay?"

Qi Qiao looked at her, her expression immediately turning as if she was about to cry: "Mother, can you stop him? I don't want him to leave, I don't want to leave him..."

Her pleading voice pierced You Wensi's heart. She frowned, wanting to scold her for her petty manner, but when she looked at Qi Qiao, at that face that bore a striking resemblance to her mother and her master, her words immediately softened, and she felt secretly annoyed.

Sigh, all I wanted to do was find her a blood slave to provide her with life force, how did so many unexpected things happen? He actually possesses such a talent, and now Qiao'er has fallen for him!

She was secretly annoyed, but looking at Qi Qiao's tearful appearance, her heart softened a little.

“Alright, alright, I promise you,” she said. “If I can find a way to heal my Dao injury during this trip to the secret realm, then I won’t need him anymore.”

"If that's the case, I'll keep him here and make sure he never leaves you again. I promise you that, okay?"

Chapter 246 Third Sister's Naked Body

Qi Qiao calmed down and nodded obediently. You Wensi looked at her, pondering to himself.

If they can't find it, and Qi Qiao causes trouble again in the future...

Oh well, all I need is his soul anyway. As for his body, I'll just turn him into another zombie and give him to Qi Qiao to play with like a toy; that'll be enough to satisfy my mission.

She had already done everything she could, and if she was still not satisfied, there wasn't much she could do. A cultivator's long life inevitably involves separation, and very few can truly stay together forever. She had to learn to mature and accept all of this.

You Wensi was moved by her own actions, and she had already made up her mind.

Most of the people in the mountains, like her, were overjoyed that the Black Bull family could open the gate to the secret realm and share this opportunity.

However, not everyone is given this opportunity, nor is everyone fortunate enough to be allowed to enter that secret realm.

For example, the yellow python family.

As the culprit behind the decline of the Black Bull Clan, and the most hated enemy in the eyes of the Bull Demons, the Yellow Python Clan and its vassals are the only ones that the Black Bulls have specifically named and absolutely forbid from entering the secret realm.

Naturally, this declaration greatly angered the Yellow Pythons. Even if they hadn't made it public, the Yellow Python family wouldn't have bothered with it; they could have simply pretended nothing had happened. Even if their subordinates secretly severed ties and went to join the fun, they could have turned a blind eye.

However, their deliberate words embarrassed the Yellow Pythons greatly, and they could no longer turn a blind eye to such things. Their already restless hearts, and even his not entirely loyal subordinates, began to stir, all trying to take action!

"It's a rebellion, it's outrageous!"

Deep within the Ten Thousand Serpent Cave, a giant serpent nearly a thousand meters long coiled its body, its massive head, as large as a small mountain, held high, its triangular eyes glowing red as it flicked its tongue and roared, "Although it is the legacy left by a Nascent Soul expert, it is nothing more than a secret realm and some treasures. You think you can turn the tables with that? Huh? What wishful thinking you are, Black Bull!"

He cursed angrily, while several snake demons, some a thousand meters or a hundred meters long, coiled their slender bodies in front of him, nodding repeatedly upon hearing this: "Indeed, since they have done this, then we should teach them a lesson!"

Another golden serpent, a thousand meters long, said, "As far as I know, although Nascent Soul experts can open up cave dwellings, they are powerless to create a complete cave heaven. Therefore, the so-called trial secret realm created by the Bull Demon King must also rely on the supply of external spiritual energy to maintain its existence."

He flicked his tongue, his mind already made up: "What we need to do is find this place that provides spiritual energy support for the trial realm, and then destroy it!"

"They don't want our people to participate, and they're even using it to divide our subordinates? What a clever scheme! In that case, no one will get the Bull Demon King's treasure!"

His words drew nods of agreement from the other snake demons, uniting them in purpose. When it came to harming others without benefiting oneself, if the Yellow Python Clan claimed to be second, then no one dared to claim first!

Even though the higher-ups reacted swiftly, they couldn't suppress the unrest among the people. In a cave on the other side of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave, the Green Snake Zou Min had recovered from her injuries and had also received the news.

She had already transformed into human form, dressed in blue, her eyes narrowed, her long pupils filled with calculation.

The Bull Demon King's treasure... perhaps it can help me break through to the Golden Core realm.

Fortunately, I didn't completely fall out with You Wensi back then, otherwise I would have missed this great opportunity.

Everyone has their own thoughts and anxieties; restlessness is inevitable. While the Huang Mang family and its vassals were in turmoil, the Huai Shan family, on this particular day, had everyone gathered around a small pond.

Yun Chu'an had been to this pond before; it was here that he first met Liu Mengshen. He hadn't thought there was anything special about it, except that the air might be a bit chilly.

Only today did he realize that this was actually the place where his third sister was buried.

All the family members were present, except for the second sister who had already defected. Ye Jinglan stood at the front, her long, high ponytail of white hair fluttering in the wind, looking heroic and spirited.

She gazed at the calm lake ahead, then turned to Zhu Yunqing and smiled, "It seems there's no problem. Cast the spell, Yunqing. It's been so long, it's time to bring Third Sister back!"

Behind her, Zhu Yunqing nodded slightly. The dark tear stains under her eyes did not show much sadness at this moment, but rather joy.

She brought her hands together in front of her, stepped forward onto the water, clasped her hands together, and bowed her head to silently recite a spell.

The surrounding spiritual energy gathered and poured into the pond in front. The entire earth trembled slightly, as if an earthquake had occurred, causing Yun Chu'an to instinctively tighten his grip on Qi Qiao's small hand beside him.

On the other hand, Liu Mengshen didn't react much to this, while Hua Caiyan pouted, very jealous, but dared not show it too obviously.

Ahead, the pond trembled slightly, and then a huge ice crystal slowly emerged from the water.

It carried a bone-chilling cold, making one shiver just by looking at it. Yun Chu'an also shivered a little. He quickly circulated his internal energy to dispel the cold, and then stared intently, wondering why such terrifyingly cold ice crystals hadn't frozen the entire river.

Then he discovered that spiritual energy swirled around the ice crystal, locking the chill within the ice. If it were released unchecked, this chill would likely freeze him instantly!

Who exactly is Third Sister? Isn't she in a deep sleep because she's injured? Why would she need such a huge block of ice?

He didn't know, but when he used the "Aura Observation Technique" to look inside, he saw the figure of a naked girl slowly emerging from nothing inside the ice crystal.

Although she wasn't particularly short, she was curled up at the moment, making it difficult to discern her exact height. Her short, light pink hair cascaded naturally down her back; it wasn't styled in much way, yet it was still quite beautiful.

She was completely naked, her fair neck appearing quite slender, and below that neck, her delicate yet sexy collarbone gave her a slightly frail and endearing look.

Her rounded shoulders curled forward, and her lotus-root-like arms hugged her curled-up legs, as if she were a fetus, sleeping with a sense of insecurity.

This was the completely naked third sister, which made Yun Chu'an quite embarrassed. He felt that his eldest and fourth sisters were really not strangers to him, and had actually summoned the third sister in front of him.

He quickly turned his face away, not wanting to look at something improper. Ahead, Zhu Yunqing continued chanting the incantation, and the enormous block of ice gradually shrank, while the image of the girl within the ice crystal became clearer and gradually took shape.

Finally, in the very last moment, when only a thin layer remained to cover her body, the sleeping girl suddenly opened her eyes, revealing her beautiful eyes that shone with a blend of blue and pink light.

The ice covering her naked body made a crisp sound before shattering completely. The third sister's naked body, which had been curled up, stretched out, her pair of full breasts naturally standing upright, her slender legs perfectly together, and light pink hair covering the most private parts of her body, not revealing a single bit to outsiders.

She stood there openly and naked on the water, in front of Ye Jinglan and Zhu Yunqing.

Her eyes revealed confusion, and her face showed hesitation, as if she didn't know what to say.

Chapter 247 Third Sister Nie Ningshuang

Ye Jinglan greeted her with a smile, took out a large bathrobe from her storage bag, and helped her put it on: "Third sister, are you feeling better? Do you still remember your name?"

She asked with concern, and saw the girl turn her head slightly mechanically and stiffly, frown, and after a moment, speak softly, "Nie Ningshuang?"

Her tone was hesitant and uncertain, but upon hearing this, Ye Jinglan's expression softened abruptly, and she smiled and said, "It's alright, you still remember, that's good."

She then asked, "Do you remember us? Me, and her?"

Zhu Yunqing stepped forward, beckoning Hua Caiyan and Liu Mengshen behind her to come over as well.

You Wensi held Qi Qiao's hand from a distance, not moving forward. She carefully observed Nie Ningshuang ahead, and saw the latter frown her beautiful brows, pondering for a while before hesitantly asking, "Eldest sister, and then, you are, fourth sister?"

She spoke softly, and upon hearing this, both women's faces lit up with joy: "Thank goodness, they both remember, that's a good thing."

As she spoke, Zhu Yunqing waved to the back, beckoning Yun Chuan to come over: "Come over here, let Third Sister get to know you too."

Upon hearing this, Yun Chu'an stepped forward and walked to her third sister. Just then, she turned her head, and their eyes met. Immediately, the system notification sounded, a sound that hadn't been heard in a long time: [Ding, you have met family member 'Third Sister' Nie Ning Shuang]

A thought struck him, and then a pale blue system screen appeared before his eyes, displaying all of his third sister's information:

Third Sister: Nie Ningshuang

Gender: Female

Race: Eternal Ice

Life span: 37

Spiritual Root: Superior Ice Spiritual Root

Physique: Innate Extreme Ice Body

Realm: Mid-stage foundation building

Skills: None

Trust level: Indifferent

The panel astonished him. He never imagined that his third sister was actually a spirit formed from a ten-thousand-year-old piece of mysterious ice!

This is this...

That makes sense, though. After all, it's a world of cultivation. Flowers, plants, insects, and fish can all become spirits, and monkeys can even spring out of stones. A piece of ten-thousand-year-old ice, nourished by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and moon, eventually cultivates into a spirit and takes human form. That doesn't seem like an unacceptable thing.

As he thought this, he gave a polite smile, and then he heard Zhu Yunqing introduce him to his third sister, saying that he was a newly joined son-in-law of the family, the husband of his seventh sister, and so on.

Then he saw his third sister nod at him rather coldly, then turn her head away and ignore him, as if she wasn't very interested in him.

Behind her, You Wensi stepped forward and said softly, "Ning Shuang has just woken up. She still needs to rest and recuperate. Yun Qing, you are the best at taking care of people. Take her to your place and let her rest well. At the same time, let her know what has happened in the family these days."

Zhu Yunqing nodded gently, took her third sister's hand, and left first. You Wensi's gaze swept around the surroundings, and she said softly, "Go back and prepare. Tomorrow morning, our whole family will set off together to the Bull Demon King's Trial Realm to see if this trip will allow you all to gain something."

Her words of encouragement brought joy to everyone, and they dispersed to go back and prepare.

Hua Caiyan followed Yun Chuan, still jealous, while the latter was absent-minded. He still remembered Nie Ningshuang's cold expression just now. On the way back, facing Hua Caiyan, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Caiyan, does Third Sister... have a problem with me? Her expression just now looked so scary."

He recalled it with lingering fear. Hua Caiyan, however, didn't care and shook her head, saying, "Oh dear, her constitution is special. Once she gets injured, she may lose part of her memory and then become unfriendly and appear very cold."

"Actually, my third sister is a very nice person. Just wait and see. Once she recovers, you'll see that she's actually quite talkative."

She spoke casually and without restraint, which reassured Yun Chu'an somewhat.

Is that right?

That's good. As long as they don't have a problem with me, then it's fine.

His second sister's incident still makes him a little scared. Whenever he sees these family members not giving him a friendly look, he can't help but make wild assumptions, fearing that he might be targeted in the future.

At least, according to Hua Caiyan, something similar will not happen to Nie Ningshuang.

Yun Chuan felt relieved and went back to prepare for another day.

The next morning, everyone gathered and prepared to set off. You Wensi stood at the front, while behind her, Zhu Yunqing picked up miniature spider cocoons, each the size of a soybean, and placed them one by one into the hands of Yun Chuan and the others.
