Qi Wenyao was eager to see the power of the small landmine.
However, before Sheng Ning could pull the pin and throw the small landmine out, the scene before them changed completely.
Everything was pitch black.
They were back to where they had first entered the attic.
This time, however, they no longer heard each other's voices.
"Senior brother?"
"Master Kongwu?"
"Fellow Daoist Qi?"
Sheng Ning stood still and spun around, only to hear echoes around her ears, but no one else responded.
With a slight frown, she tried taking a step forward.
The moment the feeling of weightlessness hit, Sheng Ning's facial features tensed instantly. Holding the Gatling gun in his arms, he awaited the next challenge.
Zi Xing would certainly not let them leave the attic easily.
The snake pit was just the beginning.
What awaits them next is surely an even more dangerous and terrifying scene.
Her lips pressed into a straight line, and after the feeling of weightlessness disappeared, she finally heard other people's voices.
"Ah Ning, how come you can't even handle such a small thing? Your parents are very disappointed in you."
A familiar voice rang in her ears. Sheng Ning looked up and saw her father, whom she hadn't seen for many years, standing in front of her.
And the Gatling gun in her arms turned into a dictionary.
Faced with her father's reproach, she said softly, "I'm sorry, Dad. I will continue to work hard."
"There's no need to try anymore. You're always the kind of person who never learns from mistakes. Your dad and I are planning to have another child, and that child will be smarter and more outstanding than you."
The sound of her mother's voice caused a look of surprise to flash across Sheng Ning's eyes.
She stepped forward, wanting to hug her mother, but was pushed away violently by the latter.
Her eyes suddenly turned red and moist. Sheng Ning blinked and said in a hoarse voice, "So you haven't been home for so long because I'm not good enough?"
"Of course, your father and I are very disappointed in you."
"But I don't understand what I need to do to be considered excellent." Sheng Ning looked at her parents, her voice choked with emotion.
“Xiao Song next door got 80 points on his test. His parents will buy him a new pair of sneakers as a reward. They say Xiao Song is their best child.”
Even if Xiaoyu didn't do well on the test and didn't dare to bring the test paper home, her parents never blamed her. They just told her to try harder next time.
"I've done my best in everything, outshining everyone else, so why are you still disappointed in me and unwilling to come back to see me?"
Two hot tears fell onto the floor at her feet.
Sheng Ning blinked her sore eyes and pursed her lips to keep herself from crying out loud. "What do I have to do for you to come back and see me?"
Sobs echoed in the room.
Sheng Ning looked at the dictionary in her arms, and suddenly, she heard several familiar voices.
"Ah Ning is amazing, she's the most amazing junior sister I've ever met."
"My junior sister is invincible! She's amazing! If you don't like it, go find yourself a junior sister as outstanding as her!"
"Junior Sister, are you tired? I have a few bottles of Spirit Replenishing Pills here. Take them first. If you need more, I'll continue to refine pills for you."
"Fourth Senior Brother has plenty of talismans, don't be stingy with them. You can ask Fourth Senior Brother for more when you run out."
"Junior Sister, you're amazing!"
......
My throat feels tight.
Sheng Ning, who had been bowing her head and shedding tears, looked up at her parents and said, "You are not my parents."
The man and woman in front of her showed expressions of surprise.
The man frowned, revealing a fierce look. "Ah Ning, what nonsense are you spouting?!"
The woman nodded in agreement, "That's right, they don't even acknowledge their own parents anymore. It was definitely the right choice for your father and me to have another child."
Sheng Ning raised her hand and wiped her face haphazardly. "Although my parents rarely come home, they have always been proud of me."
"Even though they are not good with words and only send me money, leaving me alone at home, they are always thinking of me."
"They won't be disappointed in me, because I'm their child!"
Sheng Ning swallowed hard, and suddenly a rocket launcher appeared beside him.
"An illusion, huh? Trying to mess with my mindset, huh? I'll blow up this lousy palace of yours!"
Even if Sheng Ning is usually calm and composed, when someone exploits her weaknesses and uses them as a weapon to break through her mentality.
If she doesn't fight back, she's a fool.
After stuffing the ammunition into the rocket launcher, Sheng Ning held the remote control in his hand and said in a deep voice, "Zixing, I advise you to release my senior brothers as well."
"You may not know the power of technology, but you certainly don't want the God of Slaughter Palace to be destroyed like this."
Perhaps Sheng Ning's use of a Gatling gun to sweep the attic door left a shadow on Zi Xing.
As soon as she finished speaking, the room in front of her, decorated in a simple European style, instantly transformed back into an attic.
The senior brothers she had been looking for were now standing beside her.
"This illusion cannot be broken so easily, young fellow Daoist. Your senior brothers all have their own barriers."
If a cultivator has inner barriers, they will certainly not achieve great things.
Her senior brothers were among the strongest on the continent, so cultivation was indeed very easy for them.
Sheng Ning knew what their inner barriers were.
Thinking of their past lives, Sheng Ning took out a bottle of pills from her bosom and silently put a calming pill into each of their mouths.
A 'hehe' laugh sounded from above, 'What's the use of doing this, young fellow Daoist?'
"If their Dao hearts are not stable enough, won't they eventually suffer from cultivation deviation and become possessed by demons?"
After Sheng Ning gave them the calming pills, she looked up at the rotating mechanism above her head.
The mechanism was opened shortly after they entered the attic.
It was because the mechanism was activated that Zi Xing's voice reached their ears.
While fiddling with the little landmine in his hand, Sheng Ning took out Qiuqiu from his pocket.
"Chirp chirp, do you remember how we teamed up during the monster frenzy?"
"Chirp chirp!"
Seeing Qiuqiu's reaction, Sheng Ning curled her lips and smiled, "Now let's play that game again."
"See that rotating mechanism above us? Use the vines to send this little landmine up there later."
"Remember, find a spot where the small landmines won't fall down."
"Chirp chirp!!!"
Sheng Ning's words caused the mechanism above to pause for a moment.
The next moment, Zi Xing's voice rang out again, "Were you just bragging about blowing up the God of Slaughter Palace?"
No one in the Northern Region had ever seen these little gadgets in Sheng Ning's hands.
Could a tiny ball in her palm really blow up the God-Slaying Palace? That's probably just bragging.
Sheng Ning's smile deepened. "Whether it is or not, we'll find out soon enough."
First, let Qiuqiu go up to investigate the mechanism. After Qiuqiu put down the vines, Sheng Ning settled the five senior brothers and Kong Wuqi Wenyao before pulling the fuse of the small landmine.
"Go, Chiu Chiu, let this city lord see if this little landmine can actually blow up his God-Slaying Palace."
