Chapter 28

Shen Yunshu: My Senior Sister is Always So Strange

The ruins are inside the White Pagoda.

Shen Yunshu has completed the initial refinement of the Bone Throne and integrated it into her sea of ​​consciousness to nurture it. Although the Bone Throne is also a demonic artifact, it still has the basic function of nurturing its master.

The biggest difference between demonic artifacts and righteous artifacts is that demonic artifacts can affect the mind of their master. Demonic artifacts inevitably carry malevolent energy, and absorbing malevolent energy for a long time will inevitably affect one's mind.

For demonic cultivators, malevolent energy is an invaluable tonic. Therefore, the higher a demonic cultivator's cultivation level, the more malevolent energy they contain in their body, and the more insane they become.

However, this Bone Throne is, after all, a celestial artifact. Although it is incomplete, it still involves the celestial level, so its malevolent aura is contained. In addition, Shen Yunshu has not truly activated it yet, so there is no need to worry about being eroded by its malevolent aura in the short term.

Seeing that Shen Yunshu had opened her eyes and her gaze was clear, Yu Zhao silently released her hands that were forming hand seals behind her back. She was worried that Shen Yunshu would be affected by this demonic artifact and go mad, so she was naturally more careful.

Seeing that she's at least alright now, I'm a little relieved; otherwise, things would have been very difficult for her.

"Junior sister, how are you feeling? Are you feeling unwell?" Yu Zhao stepped forward and asked with concern.

"Um..." Shen Yunshu carefully sensed her body, tilted her head, blinked blankly, and asked with some confusion:

"I didn't feel any discomfort, but there were some changes in my body."

She realized that she couldn't explain it clearly in words, so she demonstrated it to Yu Zhao.

After speaking, Shen Yunshu spread out her small hands, gesturing for Yu Zhao to look over.

Yu Zhao stared curiously at the other person's small hands. The hands were fair and the ten fingers were slender, but then those fair and tender hands turned into bones.

Yu Zhao watched helplessly as the flesh and blood of those hands vanished in an instant, turning into skeletal claws with lines of blood visible on them. Yu Zhao didn't know what these lines were, but the skeletal claws gave her a strong sense of oppression.

Seeing that her senior sister seemed frightened, Shen Yunshu withdrew her supernatural powers, and her hands returned to their original state, as if it were all an illusion.

Shen Yunshu herself was quite troubled, "I don't know what's going on. After I recognized this magical artifact called the Tower of Ten Thousand Demons as my master, it gave me this spell."

She's a beautiful girl, she doesn't want such weird and ugly magic.

"A tower? Isn't that a throne?"

"No, its true form is a tower; the throne is merely a manifestation of it."

After Shen Yunshu completed the initial refining, the thing transmitted some information to her, including the spell, its name, and some supernatural powers.

Shen Yunshu hasn't fully figured it out yet; she needs time to go into seclusion and ponder it carefully.

As they spoke, Shen Yunshu noticed her senior sister's thoughtful expression and a hint of envy in her eyes. So she asked, "Senior sister, didn't the magic weapon you bound to give you any spells?"

"No," Yu Zhao admitted she was envious, but then she thought about how much benefit her own Emperor's Banner had given her, and most importantly, how it could protect her. She stopped envying others. "Let's not talk about that. Now that you're awake, let's continue our treasure hunt!"

Yu Zhao's eyes were bright. She had tasted the sweetness of success and felt that this ruin was a treasure trove. She was already planning to search the entire ruin.

"Um... Senior Sister, I feel like we've already gotten the biggest treasure in these ruins."

Shen Yunshu didn't know why she had this feeling, but she trusted her intuition. These words were a veiled advice to Yu Zhao to know when to stop.

Since we've already obtained the biggest treasure, there's no need to search for the remaining junk; let's leave some soup for others.

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhao immediately became displeased. She put on airs, put her hands behind her back, and lectured Shen Yunshu with a righteous and awe-inspiring demeanor, "Junior sister, you are mistaken. Treasures are obtained by those who are destined and virtuous. We are the most destined and virtuous people, and we should all take them into our possession."

Giving them those worthless treasures outside would be a waste; they simply wouldn't be able to grasp them. Besides, how can you disdain something just because the chance is small?

Small opportunities, when accumulated, can eventually become great opportunities.

Yu Zhao adhered to one principle: what's mine is mine.

If she weren't so weak, she would have wanted to write the character "Shangyu" on the Heavenly Dao.

Shen Yunshu was dumbfounded and couldn't help but retort, "Senior sister, how can you say such shameless things with such righteous indignation?"

"What are you saying? I'm a demonic cultivator! Isn't it normal for demonic cultivators to be shameless and brazen?"

Shen Yunshu: (ー_ー)!!

Good grief, now she's admitting she's a demonic cultivator. My senior sister's bottom line is really flexible.

Seeing that she couldn't win the argument, Shen Yunshu gave up and silently followed the other person out of the white tower. Then she randomly chose a direction and strolled off.

The two women strolled leisurely, as if they were enjoying a spring outing. Then, they came to a sea of ​​flowers.

Women love flowers, and when Shen Yunshu saw a sea of ​​colorful flowers in bloom, she became quite excited and found everything new and interesting.

One moment she was chasing after a small white animal, the next she was picking up an unknown flower and gently smelling it, a naive and innocent smile on her face.

This time it wasn't an act; it was genuine joy from the bottom of her heart, as if she were venting. There was no one else around, so she could freely release the pent-up emotions in her heart.

Looking at the bouncy girl in front of her, Yu Zhao couldn't help but smile. Having lived two lives, she couldn't do what Shen Yunshu did, running around in the flower bushes with a silly grin, but the girl's cheerful smile was somewhat infectious to her.

"Senior sister, this is for you."

At this moment, Shen Yunshu ran back and handed the flower wreath she had woven to Yu Zhao. Seeing Yu Zhao's disgusted expression, she tiptoed and smacked the wreath directly onto Yu Zhao's head.

"Senior sister, you're so beautiful... Don't take it off, it looks so good on you."

Ignoring the little green tea's resentful gaze, Yu Zhao disdainfully took off the flower crown and put it on her head. "I don't like these girly things. You can wear it yourself. Besides, I'll be happier if you compliment me on my looks."

"Handsome is a compliment for men, okay?" Shen Yunshu said helplessly.

"Then you should treat me as a man and call me 'Senior Brother' from now on."

"No way, hmph!"

Shen Yunshu gave a soft snort, turned her head away and ignored Yu Zhao, looking like she was saying, "I'm angry, you have to coax me."

But Yu Zhao obviously didn't see it. She even thought the other person was very strange. "Stop messing around. You've had enough fun, right? If you're done, let's continue the treasure hunt."

"All right"

Finally, under Shen Yunshu's reluctant gaze, the two women walked out of the sea of ​​flowers. They hadn't gone far when Yu Zhao spotted cultivators ahead. She lowered her voice and said to Shen Yunshu beside her:

"There are cultivators fighting ahead, concealing their presence. Let's sneak over and take a look."

Shen Yunshu: "???"

There were cultivators fighting? How come she didn't notice?
