Chapter 919: Resolute Xiao Xue
It was all to get him to help and save her brother Lianwu.
Ning Shiqi was shocked and somewhat indescribably moved by this childish act.
Xiao Xue, seeing that Ning Shiqi didn’t speak, thought she hadn’t expressed herself clearly enough. She hurriedly moved her arm, still bleeding, closer: "Uncle Shiqi, please help me. I know there must be a way, but I, I haven’t learned enough yet, so I can’t think of it. But I have a Blood Covenant with Brother Lianwu. My blood will definitely ease his pain."
When it came to other things, perhaps if they spoke, Xiao Xue might not immediately understand or figure it out. But in terms of the Spirit Control Technique, she had been influenced and taught by the Ghost Ancestor from a young age. Even if she didn’t know something, she could quickly understand once they explained it.
So when it came to the Soul Devouring Talisman, she knew right away how powerful it was.
She was determined to find a way to help Brother Lianwu; otherwise, he would suffer for so many days.
When Xiao Xue thought about how, if she didn’t help, Brother Lianwu would have to endure so much more pain, her wrist didn’t hurt at all.
Ning Shiqi wasn’t surprised at the Blood Covenant between Xiao Xue and Lianwu. Seeing Xiao Xue reach out her hand for help, he understood what was happening. From the first moment he saw Lianwu, he knew one of his Three Souls and Seven Spirits was missing. After the Divine Clan completely hid themselves from the Spirit Flame Continent, the Divine Power seemed to have vanished as well. Ning Shiqi couldn’t fathom the reasons behind this, so the fact that Lianwu faced setbacks trying to evolve into the Ghost King and had incomplete souls was probably more than just bad luck.
If he relied on external forces to repair his missing spirit, even another thousand years of repair might be futile. But he was truly fortunate to have formed a Blood Covenant with someone with such a powerful bloodline. Although the power of the covenant would bind him to some extent, with the influence of the Blood Covenant and the nourishment of Xiao Xue’s blood, in less than ten years, his missing spirit would definitely be repaired, allowing him to evolve into a true Ghost King with an Immortal Body, no different from humans.
Ning Shiqi looked at Xiao Xue, truly seeing that she was worthy of being Ning Lian’s sibling, able to make her blood master so dedicated, which spoke to his charisma.
However...
Xiao Xue was still a child, and she sometimes couldn’t be responsible for her actions. If Lianwu knew he used Xiao Xue’s blood to help him, he might get angry. So, Ning Shiqi seriously explained to Xiao Xue, "Xiao Xue, you are still young. Although your blood can indeed help Lianwu, this matter still requires the consent of your parents or Lianwu."
Upon hearing Ning Shiqi’s words, Xiao Xue looked up at him, biting her lip, and asked, "Uncle Shiqi, are you worried that I can’t be responsible for my words and actions? But this is my own decision. I don’t want my parents and Brother Lianwu to know, so I came to you for help. Uncle Shiqi, I’m a big child now; I know what I’m doing. Come on, Xiao Xue isn’t afraid of pain."
Xiao Xue’s eyes were full of determination, but that last sentence about not being afraid of pain still carried childishness. Despite this, she remained steadfast in her resolve to help Lianwu, proving she was serious about it.
