Her voice echoed in the air before gradually fading away.
Qingning knew that Ya would definitely hear her.
"Well then, Little Taro Ball, I'll be going now."
Qing Ning waved goodbye to Xiao Yu Yuan, then left the Taoist temple and began her journey down the mountain.
"Sister Qingning, please be careful on your journey."
Little Taro Ball put her two little hands to her mouth, making a trumpet shape, and said this.
"Don't worry, it's just going down the mountain, it's quite easy."
Without turning her head, Qing Ning waved her hand and said.
"No, what I meant was... when you're with Sister Qingning, you have to make sure that other sister is careful!"
Little Taro Ball squinted her eyes, looking at her with an expression as if she were looking at a dead person, and said, "I really feel sorry for that sister. Have you forgotten, Sister Qingning? You almost killed my master before. During that dinner party, you drank too much and threw my master off the eighth floor with one hand. Really, my master almost passed away."
"..."
Qing Ning stumbled, her once steady steps now becoming somewhat difficult.
"Little Taro Ball, didn't we agree that you would forget about this?"
Qing Ning turned around, gritting her fangs and threatening.
Anyway... good luck to you!
Little Taro Ball nodded and quickly closed the gate of the Taoist temple tightly.
He can only be mischievous like this. If Qingning catches him, Little Taro Ball can't guarantee his bottom won't get a beating...

A branch of the Assassin's Guild.
This is a secret outpost of the Assassins' Hall in the Dragon Kingdom, and few people know about it.
It's not that the location of this branch is particularly remote, but rather that... it's brazenly situated beneath a vegetable market.
Who could have imagined this?
What a remarkable example of someone who lives in seclusion amidst the city.
Beneath the market, a network of interconnected modern rooms, like mole homes, have sprung up underground.
Inside the innermost SSS-level room of the Assassin's Hall branch, on a pristine white bed.
Qing Ning slowly opened her eyes and yawned.
"I'm exhausted. This little Kunshan is not a place that just anyone can climb."
Qing Ning felt her eyes were a little sore, and her vision was blurry with light and dark.
It took a while for Qing Ning to regain her vision.
After descending the mountain, Qing Ning went straight back to the branch closest to Xiao Kunshan.
I just lay down and fell asleep.
After all, the bumpy journey had left Qingning exhausted.
I should have let Ya control my body to go down the mountain before using the secret technique.
That way, you won't have to climb mountains!
Looking at the mechanical-looking ceiling, Qing Ning slowly let out a sigh of relief and murmured, "Ya, you're finally back..."
Lime lifted the corners of her mouth, revealing a smile.
She remembered that the reason she devoted herself to the assassin's mission and even refrained from seeing her childhood sweetheart Luo Chen was to revive Ya.
Now, Ya has finally been resurrected.
Qingning's efforts over the years have not been in vain.
"But... it's so expensive! Damn it, if I resurrect you, all the money I've saved up over the years is gone!"
Qing Ning shook her head, both amused and exasperated, then sighed and said, "Never mind, Luo Chen is the young master of the Luo family anyway, he must be rich!"
"We can't just stand by and watch our childhood sweetheart starve to death on the street, can we?"
"He definitely wouldn't be able to bear it, yeah. Even if he were, I would help him not to."
Qing Ning seemed to have thought of something wicked, and the corners of her mouth suddenly turned up.
Qing Ning then sat up in bed, stretched out her hands, and felt the blood flowing through her body. Before long, she regained her full mobility.
After all, Ya's spirit had just left her body. Having spent so many years together, Qing Ning was already used to it.
It's normal for Qing Ning to feel a little uneasy about leaving so suddenly.
Qing Ning looked around her room, stood up from the bed, and slowly lowered her feet to the ground, barefoot.
Qingning walked to the left, where her bathroom was. After Ya's spirit left, Qingning felt uncomfortable all over and wanted to take a good bath.
Her room was equipped with SSS-level security, the highest level within the Assassin's Hall organization. Apart from herself, even if Xiao himself came, he wouldn't be able to enter the room.
Therefore, this has always been where Lime keeps her body.
Qingning opened the bathroom door and went inside. Soon after, the sound of running water could be heard from inside.
"I wonder if that idiot Ya will scream in surprise after she recovers her body."
Just thinking about Ya made Qing Ning's lips curl into a smile. She was lathering her hair with shampoo under the showerhead, "Hmph, and Luo Chen, that loser. He'll definitely want to pursue me after he sees me. I can't agree to him too easily. I have to keep him hanging on. That's what a reserved girl should do."
A captivating smile appeared on Qing Ning's delicate features.
The old saying, "Women dress up for those who appreciate them," is not without reason.
Having not seen Luo Chen for so many years, and being childhood sweethearts, Qing Ning's heart is now completely filled with Luo Chen.
Qing Ning hummed a song softly as she washed her body. Instantly, steam rose slowly from the bathroom, obscuring the beautiful woman bathing.

Yan Province, Yan Province University, Academic Affairs Office.
"Teacher Han, the decision to make an exception and admit these people was made by the school board. What are you still dissatisfied with?"
The white-haired director sighed, glanced at the hot female teacher sitting opposite him in an office lady outfit, and felt like his head was about to explode.
The female teacher's name was Han Yuening. She was a famous tutor at Yan Province University. Although she was very sweet-looking, she was known for being incorruptible and impartial.
Ever since receiving news that several transfer students were coming in, Han Yuening has been in an uproar, coming to her office every day to cause trouble. The director feels that his blood pressure is getting higher and higher every day.
The director stood up, poured Han Yuening a cup of tea, and sat down opposite her. He said, "I know this might seem like we're using connections, but shouldn't we just do our jobs properly? These are things we can't interfere with, right?"
Han Yuening didn't even glance at the cup of tea, angrily turning her head away. She was at home enjoying time with her family when suddenly an order came down from the school.
They're actually going to send four transfer students over? What's going on? It's winter break, exams haven't even started yet, and they're already sending in five high school students like this?
When will the privileges extend to universities?
Outraged, Han Yuening bought a plane ticket overnight and returned to Yan Province University.
Seeing Han Yuening's appearance, the director rubbed his temples and couldn't help but sigh again. He didn't want to abuse his power, but the other party's background was indeed too powerful.
