Chapter 1196B.
A Story

The woman in front of her, according to the young man, should be his big sister.
Since the two of them were married, this woman was also her big sister.

The girl grabbed her hand and said in a soft voice, “Big sister, you ate so much of my unpalatable meat over the past year; it really must have been hard for you.
Please, rest well.”

The panic-stricken woman opened her mouth to scream, but before she could make a single sound, she directly decomposed.

That’s right, ‘decomposed’ was strangely appropriate.
The storming power instantly turned the big sister into a puddle of broken flesh and blood that splashed to the ground.

The girl clenched her hand together and a red aura flew out from the broken bones and rotten flesh, condensing into a mass within her palm.
These people had no idea what she was.
Although they ate her flesh and blood, they weren’t able to truly refine it into their own power.

When her freedom was restored, she just needed a single thought to cause a backlash in the power that had integrated into their bodies.

Rain poured down.
The girl pushed open the door and walked out.
This was the first time she had left this place after becoming a bride.

It was still the same quiet mountain valley.
The breeze brought with it a cold wetness that moved her hair…her hair was like blood, completely red.

She walked into the rain, and she suddenly felt completely exhausted.

Some people soon discovered that she had run away.
But in front of her, these people who ate her flesh and blood had no strength to resist.

With just a glance, they all ended up in the same state as her big sister.
So, more and more red energy accumulated in the girl’s hand.
It didn’t grow larger, but deepened in color.

Like a red eyeball, the first time it opened it wanted to take a good look at this brutal and laughable world.

The people who appeared before her and brought her pain in the past, all fell down.
Under the pall of heavy rain, the dwelling turned into a silent purgatory.

The woman passed through all corners of the dwelling in the rain.
When she killed another ten people, she finally saw the young man she fell in love with at the beginning.

Under a curtain of rain, in the pitch black night, she stood in the garden looking through a window at two figures in a room.

The young man hugged a beautiful woman.
Her palms were gently placed on her bulging stomach, and he whispered something in her ears.

The woman in his chest smiled beautifully.
Her face exuded the light of joy and bliss.

That was his wife? Then what am I?

The girl thought for a moment but she couldn’t figure it out in the end.
So she pushed open the door.
Soaked in rain water, she wanted to understand this.

The young man panicked.
He cried out loud, trying to warn the others in the mansion.
In fact, he succeeded.
There was a burst of hurried footsteps and low growls, filling the humid and heavy air with a constrained feeling.

They had already discovered that people had vanished.

The girl stretched out a hand and opened her five fingers towards the door.
The people who rushed at her all revealed expressions full of fear.

Then, flowers of blood bloomed in the air.
The rank scent of blood caused the pregnant woman to vomit.

The young man was deathly pale.
There was despair in his eyes.
He tried to beg for mercy but he couldn’t reply to the girl’s question.

Just what was she? Just this question severed all hopes of him surviving.
Shivering, he knelt on the ground and begged, pleading that his child was innocent and praying for the girl to forgive the pregnant woman.

He didn’t reply, but in truth this was already a reply.

The girl closed her eyes and opened them again.
She took out the hairpin from her hair and said, “You gave me this, and now today I will give it back to you.” She bent over and looked into the young man’s eyes.
Then, she slowly stabbed the hairpin into his chest.

Just like when he stabbed her.

The young man slumped to the ground in pain, his body slowly disintegrating.
Even as he died, he still stared at the girl, his eyes full of pleading.

The pregnant woman watched all of this with wide eyes.
In a brief moment of time, all of her joy and happiness had been ruined.
She screamed out loud and rushed over as if she had gone crazy.

The girl lifted a hand.
Strength gushed out, grabbing the pregnant woman’s neck and lifting her into the air.

“I may agree to your request and forgive this woman and her child, but I will place a curse on your bloodline.
No matter how many circles of samsara pass, her children, her children’s children, and every generation after will experience infinite pain until the endless years come to an end.”

When she finished speaking she pulled the pregnant woman closer.
Then, she raised her other hand and pressed a finger between the woman’s eyebrows.
A dark red energy followed her fingers and poured into her body, fusing with the fetus being conceived in her womb.

Then, tossing away the pregnant woman, the girl left in the pouring rain.
She returned to the depths of the Endless Sea, back to that home she thought she would never see again.

…

Yun Shi snapped her fingers and laughed, “How is that story? I summed it up right? It really is funny!”

Grabbing Rice Paper, she smiled even brighter and said, “So girl, you must learn to protect yourself.
You especially can’t trust others easily, otherwise you will be the only one to suffer a loss.”

Biting her neck, she took a few gulps and tossed her to the side.
Yun Shi said, “This blood can be regarded as the reward for the advice I just gave you.
Hurry up and recover.
When I come back to you later, don’t lose all your strength after a few mouthfuls of blood.”

Soaring Sky suddenly said, “You didn’t finish your story.” He had an extremely miserable appearance, but his expression was calm.

Yun Shi looked at him, “Then I must ask you to fill in the rest.”

Soaring Sky was silent for several breaths of time.
Then he said, “When the girl returned home, she discovered that her existence had already been exposed, and she had been chosen as prey by Saints.
Unwilling to be destroyed like this, she silently made preparations throughout the years, finally coming up with several near-perfect plans.
She would fake her death and fool everyone, then use the leftover power to resurrect herself.”

For the normally uncommunicative and quiet Soaring Sky to say so much in one breath, it was truly a rare sight.

But as his voice fell, even the sound of breathing vanished from the air.

Yun Shi’s smile dimmed down.
“You are a smart man, but that is exactly one of my least favorite qualities.”

She walked over to Soaring Sky’s side.
She grabbed an arm and pulled.
Flesh and blood ripped as his arm was forcibly torn off.

With a stuffy cough, Soaring Sky poured to the ground.
Beads of sweat covered his forehead as he shivered.

Yun Shi brought the arm up and started slowly chewing on it.
Blood gushed out as she spoke, “This is my warning to you.
Remember to act with restraint later and don’t try to appear too intelligent.”

No one here was stupid.
They certainly understood that in the story Yun Shi spent such a long time narrating to them, she was actually the main character.

Or to be more precise, she was the essence of the realm within a realm’s spirit body.
She was the energy that the spirit body poured into the pregnant woman in the past that then fused with the baby.
It followed throughout the generations of bloodline, being inherited until today.

It was no wonder that Yun Shi, who entered the Endless Sea with them and intruded into the realm within a realm a step sooner, would inexplicably appear here.

Everything had an explanation!

Yun Shi smiled, “You kids are all conniving and shrewd.
But what a pity, there is no reward for correctly guessing what I am.”

She took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
“Whatever.
The story has already been told; there’s nothing to be ashamed of.
After all, everyone has a time period where they are blind when they’re young.”

She grabbed the spear-wielding cultivator and bit down on him, swallowing.
It was especially loud in the darkness.

But this time, things were clearly different.
The cultivator reached the edge of death and his eyes rolled back into his head and he constantly twitched, but, Yun Shi showed no signs of stopping.

The fear that had gradually subsided a little instantly flooded everyone’s hearts.
They widened their eyes, revealing flustered and panicked expressions.

Pa –

After throwing the shriveled corpse to the ground, Yun Shi met everyone’s terrified eyes and smiled, “After thinking about it, I decided to send you all on the road a bit earlier, otherwise who knows if I will suffer a loss.
After all, you all know too much already.”

Hearing these words, the five remaining cultivators couldn’t help but curse out loud in their hearts.

This was just shameless.
You were the one who said it! If you didn’t want to, could we still have forced you in this state?

Whether or not she was shameless was unimportant.
Moreover, they were all food on the chopping board that was about to be eaten, so none of them had the qualifications to judge her.

Yun Shi could feel the anger and discontent in their eyes, but so what? In this world, looks were the most useless thing.

But there was a point that Yun Shi wasn’t wrong about.
These young people in front of her might be in the palm of her hands, and had no resistance to being eaten by her as food to restore her strength, but she didn’t dare to underestimate them.

They were the disciples that came from influences of Saints.
Who knew if they had other hidden things in their hands.

In order to win their trust and hide the truth from the thoughts of the Saints, Yun Shi had fallen into a withered state and become extremely weakened.

She was like a piece of mud that had lost all moisture.
A slightly stronger impact force would cause her to shatter into countless pieces.

In order to smoothly complete her resurrection, she had to prepare a source of enough fresh and powerful blood.

Thus, there was this courtyard that was like a jar for raising witchcraft bugs.

Its only use was to choose the most formidable cultivators.
Once they ate the treasures whose births were all catalyzed by the spirit body itself, the contract would take effect and they would become puppets controlled by her.

Yun Shi wasn’t worried that these cultivators would constantly become stronger, because everything they possessed was doomed to be swallowed up by her in the end.

And now was the time to bring the curtains down on this act.

She had smoothly revived and had regained some strength.
There was no need to chase after greater advantages.
She would kill these cultivators to eliminate any possible future troubles, then she would leave the Endless Sea and continue living under a brand new identity.
