Ningning was a sports loser in her previous life.

She can play the piano, sketch, and do calligraphy, but her physical strength is terrible. If you ask her when she has exercised since she was a child, it was probably only the beautiful ballet and swan arm exercises she did when she was training her body shape.

As a result, others were beautiful little swans, but she was exhausted halfway through, like a moth about to be served on the table.

Later, she didn't improve her body shape, but she almost cramped her facial muscles - because Ningning's facial expressions were always very rich when she danced the death ballet.

Being tired.

So to sum up, she should be very reluctant to move, and she rejected Meng Jue's proposal to teach her swordsmanship from the bottom of her heart.

But I can't resist it because it smells so good.

The physique of a cultivator is completely different from that of her previous life. Her body, soaked in spiritual energy, transforms essence into qi, and qi into spirit. Her sword heart, sword intent, and sword bones are condensed in one palm when she draws the sword. The moment Xinghen is unsheathed, the blood in her body is excited and roaring.

The sword cultivator's swinging of the sword is not simply for the sake of "swinging the sword", but more like obeying an instinct from the heart. As his posture changes, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth fills him like never before.

It’s not a disgusting feeling.

So even though Ningning was as tired as an old dog and shouted "I will never practice again", after a short rest, she continued to learn one move after another under the guidance of Meng Jue.

Just kidding, she was a woman who planned to conquer the college entrance examination.

There is actually not much difference between practicing sword and studying. Everyone has different talents, and practice depends entirely on hard work, which is inseparable from learning from a master. Some geniuses fall, while others climb up step by step from the bottom.

Not to mention those big and small tests, aren’t they no different from the secret trials in the immortal gate?

She can stand her ground in the vast sea of ​​questions in history, geography, biology, mathematics, physics and chemistry, so how could she be afraid of this sword technique that can be learned without much thinking?

"The Golden Snake Sword Technique originated from the Miao region. It emphasizes unpredictability. Upside-down slashes and diagonal thrusts can all defeat the enemy in an instant. It is not bound by a fixed pattern. This move, Golden Light Snake Shadow, is the most deadly. With the differentiation of the sword and the blade, it can form a situation where one person can control a hundred swords. Watch it carefully."

Meng Jue corrected her posture, released his hands from Ningning's shoulders, and personally drew the sword to demonstrate to her.

Ning Ning listened to his words and automatically imagined the classic quote from her English teacher in class: "You must remember this expression. When writing, add inversion and attributive clauses. Don't stick to fixed usage. By differentiating the sentence structure, you can have several advanced expressions in one essay, and your essay will definitely get a high score."

So down to earth.

The Golden Snake Sword Technique has numerous variations and cannot be learned overnight. Fortunately, Meng Jue has great swordsmanship and can be considered the best teacher among his peers; Ningning's body is also extremely talented, and in less than three days, she was able to master it.

The most important point is that by following the eldest brother, she can have meat to eat!

That’s right, Meng Jue stood out among the impoverished sword practitioners. He was a rich man who could afford to eat in the cafeteria.

"Xuanxu Sword Sect? Poor?"

Meng Jue chuckled when he heard this. He was truly a gentleman, gentle and elegant like jade, with a pair of peach blossom eyes that looked like the stars in the sky. "Junior sister, Xuanxu is the number one sect in the way of swordsmanship, so they naturally won't withhold money. It's not the sect that's poor, but the people who need the money. Looking around, there aren't many people who devote everything to the pursuit of the way of swordsmanship like our master."

Ningning tilted her head and thought, yes.

Their lazy sword-crazy master travels around the world all day long, and when he sees a precious sword or sword manual, he will buy it without thinking twice;

The original owner was spoiled and spent money without restraint, so it was destined for him to become a pauper;

My junior brother is also a man who spends money lavishly, not to mention that as a royal child he is ignorant of the sufferings of the world and has been cheated out of countless spirit stones.

As for the senior sister whom she has not met yet, according to the description in the original text, she is also a drunkard who lives for the moment and drinks for the moment. The only things most precious in life are swords, wine and beauties.

It turned out that it was not the entire Sword Sect that was in poverty, but rather their peculiar direct master.

If they are not from the same family, they will not enter the same door. It is really weird for a bunch of poor people to gather together.

After practicing sword (eating meat) with Meng Jue for three days, Ningning received a communication talisman from her master Tian Xianzi, inviting her to gather at his house to meet her new junior fellow apprentice.

It’s the male protagonist Pei Ji.

She took the paper crane-shaped communication talisman in her hand and gently squeezed it. Ningning leaned against the door, frowned and showed a very faint smile.

It was just a minor incident before, but the following plot was not very friendly to her.

=====

According to Tianxianzi, the top of the mountain is desolate and the foot of the mountain is unremarkable, so building a residence on the mountainside is truly like being a god.

The book never described the detailed appearance of his residence, so when Ningning arrived at the mountainside of Yuheng Peak, she couldn't help but be stunned.

At first glance, it looks like a pleasing imitation garden building with carved beams and painted rafters, red pillars and carved railings and jade bricks. Untrimmed spiritual plants spiral upward, with emerald branches and leaves entwined around the stone dragon sculptures on top of the buildings, creating a sense of vitality amidst the greenery.

But if you look closely, it's easy to spot the trick.

The beads in the dragon's eyes were taken out.

Several exquisite and gorgeous wood carvings were confiscated.

There were faint traces of hanging paintings on the wall, but that painting had been removed.

The empty hall had no furniture at all, just like a butterfly that had just emerged from its cocoon, leaving behind only a huge shell.

Ningning: ...

This man is really poor.

I heard that in order to buy a Shangqing Sword, he actually auctioned his own house at a high price in the sect. However, he was stopped by several other elders, who each gave him some money, and he finally gave up.

After all, Elder Tianxian of the Xuanxu Sword Sect was so poor that he had to sell his house. It would not look good if this matter got out.

"Hey, Ningning!"

The young man in white robes easily detected her presence, turned around and waved with a smile: "I heard that you mastered the Golden Snake Sword Technique in three days. You are really young! It's no wonder that I sold my pants to bring it back to the sword sect."

Who wants to hear about you selling pants? So did you come back naked that year?

Ningning felt that the entire Golden Snake Sword Technique was not very good.

Whenever she thought of "Golden Snake Shadow", she couldn't help but imagine the leg hairs fluttering in the wind when she was flying with the sword in hand.

It has that flavor.

"Thank you, Master."

Ningning smiled in response, looked up, and found that there were two other people in the hall.

Lin Xun was wearing a blue dress with his black hair tied behind his back. When he saw her, he narrowed his round, black eyes and called her "Junior Sister" with a smile.

It is now noon, and golden sunlight is pouring in through the window. He stood under the rippling light and shadow, and even his eyelashes were covered with a thin layer of gold powder-like light, looking warm and bright.

Pei Ji, who was standing on the other side, was completely in the shadow.

He still had the same indifferent expression as before, with a hint of mockery in the corners of his eyes. The black clothes made him look even more gloomy in the darkness, and made his bloodless face look even paler.

"This is your new junior fellow apprentice, his name is Pei Ji - I think you two know each other."

Tian Xianzi probably didn't realize that there is a kind of emotion between people called "jealousy". His heart was so big that it was no wonder that the original owner dared to act so recklessly: "Although he was an outer disciple before, he has now entered the second level of the golden elixir realm. What's more valuable is that his swordsmanship is rare. You should learn from each other more in the future, and you will definitely gain a lot from each other."

Ningning smiled at him faintly: "Junior brother."

"Oh, she smiles so beautifully! Hurry up and reply to her, Pei Ji! This girl is actually your senior sister, this must be fate!"

Chengying's sword energy twisted and turned in his body. The young man frowned and used his spiritual power to suppress it, still with a blank expression: "Senior Sister."

He frowns when he sees her. Is it really that annoying?

Ningning didn't say anything else and turned her gaze to Tianxianzi.

"I called you here today for two purposes."

The young man smiled lazily and gestured: "First, we are fellow disciples, so we have to meet and get to know each other; second, to see how your strength has improved."

Lin Xun's face turned pale for a moment: "Master, do you want the three of us to...draw swords and compete?"

Tian Xianzi said righteously: "Would I be the kind of person who would let my beloved disciples get hurt in a fight?"

Master actually takes such good care of them!

Xiao Bailong took a breath of air in surprise. Before he could smile in gratitude, he heard him continue, "If you get hurt, won't I have to pay for the medical expenses? No way!"

Lin Xun was completely silent.

"So, I have come up with a better idea."

Tian Xianzi chuckled and said, "How about you go to the pagoda for a walk?"

The pagoda is the training place for the disciples of Xuanxu Sword Sect.

The tower has a hundred floors, and each floor has an illusion. Only by passing through the illusion can you enter the next floor. The difficulty accumulates layer by layer between the hundreds of levels, trapping countless ghosts and apparitions of monsters and Asuras. The exquisite plot and the real illusions are no different from the feeling of going down the mountain to experience it personally.

"I have already selected the number of floors, and I can open it directly for you."

Tian Xianzi said, "The 40th floor, Night Visit to Zhaixing Pavilion, is just right for Jindan-stage cultivators. I wonder if you are interested in giving it a try?"

When Ning Ning heard the words "Zhaixing Pavilion", her eyebrows suddenly jumped.

In the original novel, the original owner was in this ghost place...

He was beaten so badly that his head was bleeding and he was thrown out of the illusion on the spot. He lay in bed for a full half month.

=====

Illusion, Star-Picking Pavilion.

The moonlight and starlight dot the river like bits of gold, flower boats pass by on the river, and the singing girl's seductive voice spreads in the wind, making people's bones go numb.

There are countless floors of buildings along the river. Between the carved eaves and embroidered railings, the glazed tiles reflect the bright moonlight, lighting up the high upturned eaves. A dim light slowly trickled out from the hollow carved window frames, casting a soft halo over the entire tall building, like a veil of mist, a heaven on earth.

It is said that one can pick stars and embrace the moon from the top of the Zhaixing Pavilion, and the gate is always crowded with people and cars.

Ningning stood alone in front of the door, and heard the girl's gentle smile beside her: "Miss, do you have someone you like when you come here this time?"

Around me was the faint scent of cosmetics, the faint fragrance and the sparse shadows surrounding the flickering light of the lanterns, and the seductive figures of the women.

Zhaixing Pavilion is a flower tower.

Tianxianzi really knows how to choose a place.

Although the three of them entered the illusion at the same time, they were not together after entering the illusion. Before Ningning could respond, she heard a commotion.

"Bitch! I just touched you, why are you acting so noble here!"

"I'm sorry, sir. She just arrived and doesn't know the rules. You! Come and apologize!"

Ah, what an old-fashioned plot, just like the romance novel renaissance twenty years ago.

She knew the plot very well, and turned around slowly, just in time to meet a pair of tearful eyes.

The young man in the yellow robe kept cursing with a frown and a cold look. The girl in the white dress covered her face and cried. She turned her head to the other side stubbornly. When she met Ningning's gaze, her eyes moved slightly.

Ningning turned away with an expressionless face.

Fireworks and towers, heroes saving beauties, these are all such old-fashioned plots, yet those monsters actually came to have a grand show.

——This is a trap set by the boss behind the scenes.

The bullied girl is fake, and the arrogant man is also fake. If anyone sees injustice, the girl will take him to the room in the name of "repaying a favor."

Then he watched her peel off the human skin mask layer by layer, revealing the twisted and hideous face inside.

The Zhaixing Pavilion may look like an ordinary place with willows and smoke, but the women here are actually all demons, all controlled by Madam White Bone behind the scenes. In their eyes, patrons are nothing more than a hot meal.

The main storyline of the illusion is actually not difficult. Although Madam White Bone is difficult to deal with, it is no problem for them with the strength of the three of them. The only unexpected thing was that a rare adventure that only happens once in a century occurred in this illusion.

In other words, a difficult Easter egg.

Everyone tried their best to defeat the White Bone Lady, but the illusion did not collapse. It was not until then that they gradually discovered that there was an even more terrifying monster hidden in the building.

The original owner was beaten half to death by that person when he was exhausted.

Of course Ningning can't make the same mistake again!

Although she had to work diligently to be a vicious female supporting character, that was only when there were mandatory regulations in the system. The original owner had suffered a lot of injuries and hardships, and she didn't want to try any of them.

This is also the reason why Ningning tried her best to learn the Golden Snake Sword Technique.

She didn't want to be like the original owner, who had to rely on clinging to others to barely gain a foothold in the world of immortal cultivation. With such excellent talent, he should be able to break through the desperate situations with his own strength.

For example, this time, she would definitely not be thrown out of the illusion covered in blood.

Seeing that she deliberately looked away, the girl pinched her throat and said aggrievedly: "Miss, please help me!"

Ningning glanced at her indifferently.

If she saw injustice and helped, she would be regarded as a prey by the group of demons and monitored at all times, which would be detrimental to her freedom of movement in the Star Picking Pavilion and her ability to break out of the situation secretly.

I heard that the flesh and blood of righteous people is always especially delicious and sweet.

In that case...why not just be a bad guy?

She is the vicious female supporting character.

"Ling Bo is just a singing girl. She sells her art but not her body. If she were to be taken advantage of by that young man..."

The girl covered her face and cried, "Could it be that Miss despises Ling Bo's humble background and is unwilling to help?"

Ning Ning said without hesitation: "Yes."

The other person's face twitched violently.

Sorry, the vicious female supporting character has no morals and will not be kidnapped by morality.

The expressions of the people present froze at the same time.

Something is wrong. This girl exudes a sword aura. She should be a disciple of the immortal sect's sword art. How could this happen...

So inhuman?

What surprised them even more was yet to come.

The girl in the purple dress with the sword on her waist smiled slightly and put her arm around the waist of a woman next to her: "I want this."

After saying that, he looked around again, pointing out Jiangshan with satisfaction, and actually pulled the woman next to the yellow-robed man over: "This sister is not bad either."

"Miss," the woman said tentatively, "I have already followed the young master over there tonight..."

"What's the matter!"

Ning Ning immediately responded, her tone familiar: "It's just a touch, why are you pretending to be so noble?"

The woman looked at the yellow-robed man with tears in her eyes: "Sir, please help me!"

The yellow-robed man was filled with righteous indignation: "You shameless villain! You actually forced—"

He froze in the middle of his words.

Pooh! He is so indignant! He is the villain, isn't he? And the little girl in front of me is directly borrowing his lines!

There are such shameless people in the world!

A woman who looked like a manager stepped forward and smiled awkwardly: "Girl... who do you prefer?"

"ah?"

Ningning raised her eyes and clenched her right hand: "I want them all!"

Her senior brother once told her that sword cultivators need to be more confident!

Girl in white dress: ...

Woman in charge: ...

Lin Xun arrived at Zhaixing Pavilion a little later than Ningning.

He had heard from other senior brothers and sisters that there was a plot in Zhaixing Pavilion where a hero saved a beauty, and the heroine was to save a singing girl from the hands of a misbehaving playboy.

He arrived at the plot triggering place with trepidation, but saw...

That bastard who was surrounded by people and always smiling.

The playboy who held the hand of one of the girls and said shamelessly, "Don't be afraid! It doesn't count as prostitution if I don't give you money."

The villain who was about to be severely punished by himself——

Why is she his junior sister? ? ?

When Ningning saw him, she smiled back politely.

She was not interested in what Xiaobailong was thinking. The only thought in her mind was how to subdue the ultimate monster without any harm.

In other words, turn this damn place upside down.
