Chapter 7
: The Martial Soul That Transforms from 1 to 9?
Chapter 7: The Martial Soul That Transforms from One to Nine?
Ning Shu was startled, and by the time she realized what was happening, she was already in the air.
"Grandpa Guangling!"
She exclaimed in surprise, as Guangling lifted her up.
Guangling gripped her shoulders with both hands, making her feel completely unsafe. The ground below seemed like a bottomless abyss, and she felt dizzy, as if her acrophobia was about to flare up.
Help! I'm afraid of heights!
Afraid of heights?
Guangling looked down at Ning Shu.
He suddenly realized that his hands were shaking a little.
"Are you really that afraid of heights?"
Clearly, it wasn't Guangling who was trembling, but the owner of the shoulder he was holding.
"I'm afraid of heights, I'm so afraid of heights, waaaaah—"
Ning Shu sometimes felt really helpless. She looked up with a pained expression, not daring to look down a second time. The wind howled past her ears, and she trembled all over, terrified.
Seeing this, Guangling couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He quickly flew towards Soto City and landed in an open area. "I thought you weren't afraid."
"vomit--"
The rapid flight made Ning Shu feel nauseous, and as soon as she landed, she ran to the trash can and vomited.
Guangling looked at her, but swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue. For a moment, he felt that he might have been a little unkind.
I forgot to ask.
Guangling looked left and right and spotted a shop selling sweet soup. He went to the shop and bought a bowl of sweet soup, intending to give it to Ning Shu.
Ning Shu vomited everything up, including all the porridge and cabbage she had eaten that evening. Looking at the mess in the trash can, she suddenly realized how badly she had eaten.
She raised her hand to wipe her mouth, and just then, Guangling came over with the sugar water. "Here you go."
He handed the sugar water to Ning Shu, who took it and drank it directly.
Ah—I'm finally alive!
"Thank you, Grandpa."
She added a sentence.
Guangling looked at her.
The child is quite polite.
"Did you throw up completely?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes, I've thrown up completely," Ning Shu replied, already planning where to treat her stomach.
Guangling turned around, chuckled, and said, "Now that you've vomited everything out, come with me. I'll take you to get a good meal. Didn't you say the food at your academy was bad? Perfect, I have plenty of time today. After treating you to a good meal, I can take you to other places to have fun!"
【Huh? That's good?!】
Ning Shu could hardly believe it.
But her feet were honest and quickly followed Guangling's steps.
Guangling took Ning Shu to a high-end restaurant.
Inside the restaurant, the lights were bright, the music was soft and melodious, and the atmosphere was warm and pleasant.
Sitting by the window, Ning Shu looked down at the menu in her hand. Her face was small and delicate, with a high nose, red lips and white teeth. Her long hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and a few strands of hair fluttered in the gentle breeze.
After Guangling skillfully ordered the food she wanted, she looked at Ning Shu.
When Ning Shu calms down, she is indeed a beauty.
Guangling, seemingly lost in thought, smiled and said, "Would you like to eat the same thing as me?"
Ning Shu looked up, put down the menu, smiled, and said, "Okay."
"Then two set meals will do," Guangling instructed the waiter.
"Okay, sir." The waiter collected the menu and then left.
As the soft lights fell, Ning Shu looked around the restaurant with curiosity.
[I have to say, this grandfather is really rich!]
"puff--"
Guangling had just taken a sip of water when, for some reason, she suddenly spat it out.
Ning Shu reacted quickly, dodging the attack and handing a few tissues to the person in front of her. "Grandpa, you can't drink water too fast. Wipe yourself."
Is this something that needs to be done urgently?
Guangling raised her eyes and gave Ning Shu a resentful look.
He took the tissue Ning Shu handed him, wiped his mouth, and then wiped the table. "Little Ning Shu, do you think there's something wrong with me?"
"No," Ning Shu replied. "Why would Grandpa suddenly ask that?"
She stared blankly at Guangling, her tone completely unlike the one she used when speaking in her mind.
"Just asking."
Guangling didn't want to expose her at this point; he hadn't had enough fun yet.
This little girl seems harmless on the surface, like a pure white lotus, but she's actually incredibly wild inside. He quite likes this kind of fun person.
"Oh," Ning Shu responded softly, without saying anything more.
As darkness fell, the food she ordered slowly arrived at the table. Ning Shu ate at a leisurely pace, completely forgetting what her mission for the day had been, until—
"Oh my god, Ning Shu, so you were here!"
A familiar voice rang out.
Ning Shu turned her head and saw the chubby boy, Ma Hongjun.
"Mommy bacteria?"
She still had a mouthful of rice in her mouth, and her speech was extremely unclear.
Mommy bacteria?
What the hell?
Following Ning Shu's gaze, Guang Ling saw a chubby boy with short red hair.
"Xiao Ningshu, is she your friend?" he asked.
"They're either friends or classmates." Ning Shu chewed her food and swallowed it, thinking to herself, [How did he find this place? Did he finish his Soul Fight?]
Fighting Spirit?
Guang Ling lowered her eyes and remained silent.
The battle was over, and it was time to go back. Ning Shu didn't respond to Ma Hongjun immediately. Instead, she turned around and continued eating her meal, explaining to Guang Ling in a leisurely manner, "Grandpa, I have to go back to the academy later. The dean doesn't allow us to stay out overnight, so I can't go out with you."
"It's alright." Guang Ling put down his spoon and said unhurriedly, "By the way, Little Ning Shu, I'd like to see your martial spirit. I'll bring you a gift next time we meet, how about that?"
"Okay!" Ning Shu readily agreed.
Ma Hongjun then realized he had been ignored. "Ning Shu, we need to go back. Everyone is waiting for you!"
He shouted, glancing at the young-looking man sitting in front of Ning Shu.
"Who is that man?" he muttered. "I've never seen him before."
Could he be Ning Shu's boyfriend?
No, doesn't she like him?
Ma Hongjun then looked towards Ning Shu's direction again.
Ning Shu stood up and released her soul power. Nine silk-like light purple powers appeared around her body. These silk-like powers wrapped around her right hand, eventually forming a small bell with a golden-purple glow in her right palm.
The little bell emitted an illusory image, and with a slight movement, the illusory image transformed into another little bell. Ning Shu couldn't help but be somewhat surprised when she saw this.
Immediately afterwards, she moved again, and the phantom formed a third independent bell.
The movement continued until the ninth independent bell was formed, at which point the phantom disappeared completely.
"Holy crap, this is unbelievable."
Ning Shu was surprised and couldn't help but mutter to herself.
One becomes nine, that's amazing!
Not only Ning Shu, but Ma Hongjun was also astonished. He rubbed his eyes, somewhat unable to believe the scene before him.
Guang Ling remained calm. He stroked his chin and pondered, "The Nine-Belled Illusion?"
