The Appearance of the Unscrupulous Guiding Voice

Chapter 4 The Appearance of the Unscrupulous Guiding Voice

Even a 100,000-year-old soul beast isn't stupid.

Ning Shu's words clearly implied that the soul beast was willing to sacrifice itself. However, Xiao Wu couldn't understand why Ning Shu, a Soul Venerable, could discover that she was a 100,000-year-old soul beast, and why she would know about the sacrifice.

Who is she?

Could it be that she is also a soul beast?

No, that's impossible. If it were a soul beast, how could she not sense it at all?

Could Ning Shu be a ferocious beast?!

Xiao Wu's body trembled slightly. Tang San noticed that something was wrong with the person beside him and quickly asked with concern, "Xiao Wu, what's wrong?"

Xiao Wu looked up at Tang San, a chill suddenly running through her. "It's nothing, brother."

She turned to look at Ning Shu, her expression incredibly complicated.

No, she had to confirm Ning Shu's identity and the things Ning Shu had said. She couldn't pretend she hadn't heard them, nor could she dismiss them as mere jest!

Several hours later, Ning Rongrong and Oscar finished their laps. Flander rested for a while and waited until it was almost dark before leading the eight Shrek members out.

Their destination this time was Soto City. Soto City is located inside the Kingdom of Barak and is not threatened by any external forces, so the city gates are open 24/7. The group of eight entered the city smoothly.

Although it was already dark, Soto was still very lively, even more so than during the day.

Ning Shu looked left and right, quite curious about the place, after all, it was her first time here.

After walking for a few minutes, the group arrived at the brightly lit Soto Arena.

Since they had been here once before, they were familiar with the process and didn't linger. After Flander gave them a few instructions, he let them in. As for him, Ning Shu and the others didn't care what he did.

Flander's task for them was to obtain the Silver Soul Badge before graduation, and their progress bars are currently split between Iron Soul Badge and Bronze Soul Badge.

Ning Shu was unsurprisingly the Iron Soul Badge contestant. After Flander left, she secretly slipped out to go shopping.

No sooner had she stepped out of the Soto Arena than a familiar male voice came from behind her.

"Ning Shu, what do you want to do?"

The person who arrived was Dai Mubai. He noticed Ning Shu's strange behavior as soon as he entered Soto City. He didn't expect that by paying more attention, he would discover something amiss. At this time, instead of trying to improve her Soul Badge level, Ning Shu left the Soul Arena, which made it hard not to be suspicious.

Ning Shu turned around, slightly surprised by Dai Mubai's appearance, but then she smiled and pretended to be silly, saying in a sweet, coquettish voice, "Brother Mubai, I don't feel strong enough to play the match right now, so I want to go and replenish my energy. What's up? Do you want to come with me?"

Dai Mubai looked helpless. "Can't you be normal for once?"

"I'm perfectly normal, you know I like you."

Ning Shu's eyes conveyed affection, making Dai Mubai unable to bear the sight.

[Yue, I, the little mouse, can't take it anymore!]

[I'm just a fragile young man, how can I withstand such a disgusting tone? No, run, run!]

"..."

Dai Mubai said: Big sister, I can hear you, okay?

But this didn't stop him from asking, "Ning Shu, tell me the truth, are you really a citizen of the Heaven Dou Empire?"

"Yes, that's me!"

Ning Shu answered.

"Of course I am a citizen of the Heaven Dou Empire. I come from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, a true citizen of the Heaven Dou Empire. Unlike you, I am not a member of the Star Dou Empire's royal family. It takes courage for a prince from an enemy country to come to the Heaven Dou Empire alone. Aren't you afraid of getting killed?"

【Oh wait! The power struggles within the Star Dou Empire's royal family are fierce. You might be a little better off in the Heaven Dou Empire, but honestly, abandoning your fiancée really makes me despise you. Knowing full well the intense royal infighting, you still chose to abandon her. Seriously, you should reflect on your actions.】

When the Star Dou Empire was brought up again, Dai Mubai's gaze towards Ning Shu changed. Ning Shu knew far too much detail. If Ning Shu wasn't a member of the Star Luo Empire's royal family, he really couldn't imagine how she knew so much.

Moreover, Ning Shu's dissatisfied tone was about his abandonment of his fiancée. Why was she so obstructing him from talking to Zhu Zhuqing and constantly pestering him? Was it because of this?

Dai Mubai understood.

No wonder this guy is acting strange.

It turns out he misunderstood her meaning.

After a moment of contemplation, Dai Mubai suddenly said seriously, "Ning Shu, you're right. I really should reflect on myself."

Ning Shu's eyes widened: "Huh?"

What is that?

But Dai Mubai didn't say anything more to her. He turned around and walked into the Soto Arena. His back was as firm as a general's.

"Are you sick?"

Ning Shu muttered a curse under her breath, "How inexplicable!"

She turned around, her expression instantly changing, and happily disappeared into the bustling crowd amidst the interplay of lights and neon signs.

Soto is much more lively at night than during the day. Vendors and laborers all come out to play, setting up stalls and shouting loudly. Occasionally, there are scenes of people vying for customers, which is quite interesting.

Ning Shu walked along the street, and with the help of the original owner's memories, she became familiar with Soto City. Just then, a voice suddenly rang in her mind, "Go find it."

The voice was indistinct, yet highly instructive.

Find it?

What did you find?

Ning Shu frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled.

But her body was moving uncontrollably in one direction.

"..."

That's a ghost story.

Ning Shu thought to herself.

It wasn't until she stopped in front of a small stall that she realized she was beginning to have control over her body.

"Find it."

The strange sound appeared again.

Ning Shu frowned. "Find it, find it! But tell me what you're looking for! Who knows if it's a person, an animal, or some other kind of thing?"

"Medicine pills."

The voice guided them.

"..."

Ning Shu subconsciously looked down at the several small black balls displayed on the stall in front of her and fell into deep thought.

Isn't this the "leg-stretching and eye-glaring pill"?

What do you need this thing for?

"Buy it and eat it."

The voice rang out again.

Ning Shu thought to herself: So many, are you trying to poison me?

However, the voice remained silent.

Ning Shu wanted to leave, but she found that she couldn't move her body. It seemed that she had to buy these pills before she could move.

Ning Shu was helpless. She didn't know what the voice was, but it was most likely the same kind of thing that had bound her to Shrek Academy.

You deserve a beating!

Although Ning Shu was very unhappy with this forced arrangement, it was really not good to stand in front of the stall without moving or saying anything. With no other choice, Ning Shu could only point to the dark pills and say, "I'll take all of these. Wrap them up for me."

"Huh? Little girl, do you even know what these things are? Why do you want them all?" The vendor looked at Ning Shu with suspicion, as if these pills were something bad.

Ning Shu didn't care about anything else; she just hurriedly said, "Are you selling it or not? If you're selling it, wrap it up for me!"

She just wants to get back to normal as soon as possible.

"Sell! Sell! Sell!"

The vendor responded three times, not caring about anything else. The girl didn't care, so why should he?

Pay in one hand and deliver in one hand.

Ning Shu felt sorry for her wallet.

After the goods arrived in her hands, she was able to move her body again and regain control of it.

"Damn it, don't let me find out who you are, or I'll definitely wipe you out!"

Ning Shu muttered to herself as she walked, "Who's going to eat all those 'leg-stretching and eye-glaring pills'?!"

At this moment, the voice rang out again, "Find a quiet place and absorb the pill with the bell mark."

"..."

At this moment, Ning Shu just wanted to get rid of the voice in her head.

Why didn't you say there was a mark earlier? You made her waste so much money!

Just as she was muttering to herself, Ning Shu found that her body was out of her control again. She was being driven forward by some force, and a moment later, she arrived under a large tree. Having already experienced the power of this voice, Ning Shu no longer wanted to fight against it. She took out a pill from her pocket and found the black ball with the bell mark.

It looked ugly, and she really didn't want to eat it, but she couldn't refuse. After swallowing the pill, Ning Shu felt a warm power flowing through her body.

The power gathered in her dantian, then dispersed and spread throughout her body. She breathed in the cool night air and felt something suddenly emerging from her right palm.

Just then, a rustling sound came from the tree, followed by a loud "bang." Ning Shu felt a cool breeze blow in front of her, but she was meditating and absorbing energy, so she couldn't see who had appeared before her. She only knew that the air suddenly became very cold, and she couldn't help but shiver. Then she heard a soft laugh beside her.

"I thought it was something serious, but it turns out to be a little girl."
