Chapter 71: Father
There was wind in Shen City, but it was a faint breeze created by an array. In this place, it was spring year-round, jade grass reaching off into the horizon, crimson cotton tree flowers burning over the entire mountain, making one feel warm from the heart through the whole body.

But for some reason, Di Jiufeng suddenly shivered.

She saw Ning Guang look up, cold gaze falling on the System. One side of her mouth tilted up in a mocking smile. “What, you’re afraid I won’t be able to complete the mission and you’ll lose your life? You don’t need to be afraid, I will definitely kill everyone in the world! Even if I have to remember either way, it will only be a brief instant, I still have the power to choose how I die.

But if I let them go, I might have to spend my life alone. I will never allow this sort of thing to happen. Even if you stay with me, I will still kill everyone.”

Ning Guang’s fingers slowly caressed Di Jiufeng’s face, selfishness and deep affection tangled together, a beautiful sight that would take one’s breath away.

She was like a flame, a poisonous flame. If you got close, you would be burned to ash, but if you left, you wouldn’t be able to survive.

Di Jiufeng looked at her for a while, then slowly took her hand and sighed. “Don’t you know I’m afraid of death? If you keep on like this, are you not afraid I’ll leave you?”

Ning Guang laughed softly, a light and gentle sound, like the whisper of a lover. “Why would I be afraid? You can’t get away from me. If you insist on getting away from me, than I can only kill you first, then kill myself.”

Ning Guang’s morals had already tilted too far off the track to be recovered. As Di Jiufeng was held by her, she suddenly wondered, why did she like her again?

Was it because she had been so docile before? And she had been so indescribably good to her. Or perhaps this extreme possessiveness made her feel especially secure?

Di Jiufeng spat, “Ning Guang, you’re a cheat! If I knew you were like this, I wonder if I would have ever started liking you!”

Ning Guang was not angry, she only laughed lightly and said, “Before you started liking me, I already had these sorts of tendencies, but you accepted me anyways. A-Feng, admit it, you like me like this, I’m selfish and cruel, but you don’t need to worry that I’ll leave you alone, because before that day could come, we would already have died together.”

Though she was suspicious of what the System had said, Ning Guang tacitly decided not to ask any more.

She held Di Jiufeng tight, the hand on her head fisting in her hair with a bit too much force.

Ning Guang said, “Since you know where my core went, there’s no reason to let him destroy it. A-Feng, let’s set out tomorrow to find that monk, okay?”

“I have no objections, but…” Di Jiufeng stroked Ning Guang’s waist. “This monk moves strangely, even the resentful ghost with me doesn’t know where he went. It only knows that he will purify the ancient witch’s core on the seventh of February, searching blindly will not work. Ning Guang, have you heard of the Soul-Finding Array?”
