Chapter 1248 Before the Chosen
It was well hidden.
Nangong Ruowu didn't realize that Ling Shi could practice.
In the next year, her torture of Ling Shi continued, but with her cultivation, Ling Shi was no longer tormented as much.
At night, he silently endured Nangong Ruowu's torture on him. During the day, as soon as Nangong Ruowu went out, he immediately threw himself into the never-ending practice, and his cultivation was a thousand miles away.
Ling Shi didn't know that somewhere, a little life had been born.
Nangong Ruodie put all her thoughts on cultivation and this little life, while Dong'er, in addition to following the cultivation, took even more careful care of the two of them.
This matter was also kept secret by Nangong Huan.
The former courtyard was torn down and rebuilt, and became a retreat place for an elder from Xiaonangong.
The eldest lady of Xiao Nangong and her maid seemed to have evaporated and disappeared from the sight of many disciples of Xiao Nangong. Even Ling Shi and Nangong Ruowu did not know where they were going.
Nangong Ruowu once asked her father about her sister's whereabouts, but Nangong Huan covered it up in an ambiguous manner, and then she stopped asking any more questions.
Occasionally, Ling Shi would stand far away from the courtyard, stare blankly at the courtyard for a while, and then leave quietly.
But Chen Guang and Luo Shen gradually extinguished the flame in their hearts.
As for the two Lingmen, Nangong Huan didn't mention them at all, and the elders and disciples tacitly ignored them. The powerful Lingmen outside the barrier never asked about these two people.
Everything is fine.
In the blink of an eye, a long time passed.
On this day, Nangong Ruowu came back in a hurry, startling Ling Shi who was concentrating on training.
When she saw Ling Shi's look, Nangong Ruowu was really angry.
The blush on her face had not completely dissipated.
When she thought about what happened just now, she was still feeling a little panicked.
Not long ago, Senior Brother Chen Guang actually took the initiative to make an appointment with her. As soon as she was in a deserted place, he suddenly hugged her and said some words that made people blush.
In the past, Nangong Ruowu really wanted it and wished she could give her whole heart to this senior brother she had admired since she was a child. But now, everything is different. Although she is unruly and willful, she also knows the etiquette, justice and shame, and will not commit the same crime. mistake.
Under her resistance, Chen Guang did not dare to force himself, but when he saw her running away in a panic, he felt as if he had lost something precious, and felt empty in his heart.
It's all you who hurt me!
As soon as he saw Ling Shi, there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. Nangong Ruowu became even more angry. He waved his hand with the whip in his hand and waved it without saying a word.
This time, the result was somewhat beyond Nangong Ruowu's expectation.
Just because the other end of the whip was caught by Ling Shi. He was staring at him, and the hateful smile at the corner of his mouth had not completely faded away.
"you--"
The first thing Nangong Ruowu thought about was not why the other party was able to grab the whip, but that she was furious because of the other party's boldness. Normally, Ling Shi would just accept everything, and she didn't use her spiritual power. Although she hated him, she didn't dare to He was really seriously injured.
At this time, Nangong Ruowu's anger was about to burst out as he held it in his heart.
However, before she could use her spiritual power, she suddenly felt a strong force coming, and she threw herself forward uncontrollably. She couldn't hold back her momentum for a moment, and she actually threw herself on Ling Shi.
Ling Shi subconsciously put his other hand around her slender waist.
In terms of appearance, the sisters Nangong Ruodie and Nangong Ruowu are about the same. The older sister is dignified and elegant, but because she cannot practice, she looks even more pitiful, while the unruly younger sister has a different flavor.
At that moment, Ling Shi was in a daze. He had never seen Nangong Ruowu at such a close distance. At this time, this pretty face with a slight blush was right under his nose, and he could even see it. Feel the heat and light fragrance emanating from her face.
He couldn't help but lower his head slowly.
Nangong Ruowu seemed to be distracted. She slowly closed her eyes and opened her lips slightly.
This made Ling Shi's heart tremble even more.
However, when Ling Shi was about to touch her charming lips, Nangong Ruowu suddenly opened his eyes. Out of instinct, his spiritual power shook, shaking the hateful palm that stayed on her waist. Open, then quickly move backwards.
Ling Shi's hands were empty and he suddenly woke up.
Only stunned for a moment, he followed him like a shadow and rushed forward.
Nangong Ruowu was unable to retreat and sat on the edge of the bed.
Ling Shi looked down at her expressionlessly.
"In half a year, Xiao Nangong will conduct the selection of the Chosen One, and I will also participate. Therefore, in the last half year, I need to practice quietly."
Nangong Ruowu was startled.
She also knew about the selection of the Chosen Son. Just a few days ago, her father Nangong Huan had given an order. This was a major matter related to Xiao Nangong's barrier. Only the Chosen Son could strengthen this barrier, otherwise , the tragedy of ten years ago will happen again.
Therefore, in this selection, every disciple of Xiao Nangong can participate. Whoever can pull out the black magic sword will be the chosen one.
Nangong Huan said it ambiguously, and many disciples didn't understand it very well, but everyone also knew what being the Chosen One meant, and to pull out the Black Demon Sword, the higher the strength, the better. Therefore, after this order came out, almost all the disciples put in their last efforts, looking forward to soaring into the sky.
Nangong Ruowu's head was dizzy at this time. She didn't know why Ling Shi suddenly had such a strong momentum, let alone how all this happened.
I only heard the other party say again: "I know you hate me, but for so long, I have already paid back what I have to pay back. I need this opportunity and the quiet time of these six months. I think you should also know that although we They had the title of husband and wife, but they did not have the reality of being husband and wife. That time...that time was just a misunderstanding."
"I also know that it is very difficult to get this opportunity. In Xiaonan Palace, there are many senior brothers and sisters who are stronger than me, and there are also many Jindan disciples. However, no matter how difficult it is, I will not let this go. Opportunity, so I need these six months to strive to enter the Golden Core Realm. Only in this way can I have an extra chance of winning."
"In addition, I don't want more people to know that I can practice. If you want to publicize this matter, I won't stop you. However, I advise you not to do so."
Having said this, Ling Shi's expression became stern, then turned soft after a moment.
He seemed to sigh slightly, then turned around, rolled up his bedclothes, and walked out the door.
After a long time, Nangong Ruowu's full of grievance finally turned into silent crying.
For so long, I never thought that I was the fool.
She could feel that Ling Shi's cultivation was far superior to hers, and she also knew that Ling Shi was indeed unable to practice two or three years ago.
what is this?
Nangong Ruowu couldn't understand, especially in such a short two or three years, that this ant that she could crush to death with one finger could become so terrifying. She completely believed that even if she tried her best to Because, it is not the opponent's opponent at all.
After the crying subsided, Nangong Ruowu's stubborn temper also emerged.
From this moment on, until the day of the Chosen Son selection meeting, she almost never left her room. She only left a few times, and that was to get some training resources from her father.
She didn't believe that even a useless person could fly into the sky. With Nangong Ruowu's talent, she couldn't do it!
When it comes to cultivation, in addition to natural talent, it must be done naturally.
Nangong Ruowu's cruel move was not advisable, and she also paid a price for it.
Ling Shi's ability to practice had been hidden from Nangong Ruowu before, but he had not been able to hide it from Nangong Huan.
In fact, Ling Shi was really shocked when Nangong Huan suddenly appeared in front of him one day.
However, Nangong Huan left as quickly as he came, leaving behind a lot of cultivation resources that Ling Shi dreamed of, without any other nonsense.
Ling Shi was puzzled.
However, it is precisely because of these resources needed for cultivation that his cultivation can progress rapidly.
Now, without the interruption of Nangong Ruowu, he devoted himself to his cultivation and practiced against the clock.
He knew that Nangong Ruowu was also practicing, so he thought he was stimulated, so he just laughed it off.
Time passed very quickly, and in three days it was the day of the Chosen Son selection meeting. Many disciples gradually came out of the retreat, and Xiao Nangong began to resume its usual bustle.
Ling Shi finished his training and sighed leisurely.
The hard work of the past six months has not allowed him to enter the golden elixir realm.
Suddenly, a painful groan reached his ears.
Ling Shi was startled, and the next moment, his figure disappeared from the place.
Because of her eagerness for success, Nangong Ruowu had taken no idea how many precious pills she had taken in the past six months, and she was also aggrieved. Although she had made some progress in her cultivation, it became the driving force behind her destruction.
Just now, this power finally exploded in full force. She couldn't control it for a moment and suffered a huge backlash.
When Ling Shi arrived, he happened to see her curled up, with cold sweat on her forehead and painful moans coming from her mouth.
"Are you crazy!"
Ling Shi immediately understood the truth. If Nangong Ruowu didn't come to his rescue in time, his inner demon would surely engulf his mind. It would be a good thing if his cultivation level plummeted, but if he wasn't careful, his mind might be destroyed.
Ling Shi really didn't like this aunt, but after all, she was his wife in name only. Even for Nangong Ruodie's sake, she couldn't help her.
"You don't have to worry about it!"
After receiving help, Nangong Ruowu woke up a little and gasped when she saw it was Ling Shi.
Ling Shi knew her temper, so he stopped nagging and picked her up.
"Let...let me go." Nangong Ruowu struggled.
Ling Shi ignored her and threw her on the bed. After hesitating for a moment, he stretched out his hands and untied her clothes.
"you--"
Nangong Ruowu was startled, angry in her heart, but had no strength to resist.
Ling Shi had no time to admire her beautiful figure, so he made mudras with his hands, pressed them on her flat belly, and sent spiritual energy into her in a steady stream.
Not sure if it was shame or anger, Nangong Ruowu's face turned red, but a comfortable warmth came from her body, which made her unable to stop, her body trembled, and she could no longer say a word.
After a long time, Ling Shi took back his hands.
Nangong Ruowu gained some strength and immediately pulled the thin quilt over to cover her body. She also knew that Ling Shi was saving her, so she didn't hold on to the other party's rude behavior before. She was just unwilling to give up, so naturally she wouldn't say a word of thanks.
"Have you...did you break through?"
Seeing Ling Shi turning around to leave, Nangong Ruowu asked softly.
Ling Shi shook his head: "No."
Nangong Ruowu wanted to say something more, but heard the other party continue: "You are eager for success. Although you are fine now, you still need to take good care of yourself. You may not be able to participate in the Heavenly Selection Gala."
After saying that, Ling Shi turned around and left, leaving Nangong Ruowu with mixed feelings in his heart.
