Yingyi kept a cold face, completely ignoring her!
But Tian Ning was unpredictable. She grabbed a handful of melon seeds from her storage bag and started cracking them open while chatting casually: "Fellow Daoist, I see that your cultivation and aptitude are quite good. How come you've ended up working under an old man who's still only at the Foundation Establishment stage at his age?"
Ying turned her face away, ignoring her.
Tianning turned her face to the other side: "Is there something you're having trouble telling me? Why don't you tell me?"
Shadow One aloofly moved to another spot and continued hacking away.
Tianning leaned closer again: "Oh, we're so close, your pain is my pain, so tell me so I can share your pain."
Ying's fist hardened; he really wanted to beat this brat up!
His endless ramblings, coupled with the 'crunching' sound of sunflower seeds, were driving him crazy!
Yingyi couldn't take it anymore, so he simply pulled Yingshi, who was looking at him with expectant eyes, over to face Tianning and let her torment this mentally unstable fool.
Shadow Ten has had enough of this lately.
He was young and unlike the previous nine shadows who had undergone rigorous training and were able to withstand this torment.
He was very happy to have someone to talk to.
"Hello... Is there anything interesting in the storybook you're reading?"
Ying Shi wasn't good at communicating with people; he just couldn't forget how happy Tian Ning looked on the recliner. Why could a storybook make her so happy? What exactly was written in it?
Tianning didn't rush to ask further questions, but instead answered Ying Shi's question.
She briefly told Ying Shi the story of the powerful protagonist in the storybook who went on a journey and, after passing through various places, helped the poor people there, eliminated the villains, and saved them from suffering.
The young boy listened with great interest, forgetting what he was doing for a moment, until Shadow One's cough brought him back to reality.
He hurriedly continued repeating the mechanical movements, so much so that he didn't notice that the other nine shadows were moving a beat slower, all of them half-heartedly listening to the story in Tianning's storybook...
"How amazing! The storybook is just like the real thing," Ying Shi's eyes were shining, and he looked at Tian Ning as if she were a treasure: "What about the other book you read before? Was it as interesting as this one?"
“Of course,” Tianning asked, “Do you want to hear more?”
"think!"
Shadow One: "..."
Ying Yi rubbed her forehead, too ashamed to look at this silly boy who looked like a stupid dog.
"But I've told you so much, and you haven't told me anything at all." Tian Ning blinked, starting to set a trap.
In his spare time, he took out ten more mats to make up for the damage from earlier.
Everyone: "..."
Even though they're numb, can you please not be so cruel?
"What do you want to hear me say?" The silly boy Ying Shi obediently fell into the trap. He said, "I don't have as many interesting stories as you. I have nothing to do every day except repair chains and kill people."
Tian Ning said, "I'm just curious, you're clearly stronger than that old man who had his face changed, so why do you obey him?"
Is it because there are higher-ranking figures above the Ghost Doctor? Or...?
Shadow Ten turned his head left and right, only to find that Shadow One and Shadow Nine ignored him.
He thought about it and concluded that anyone who entered Ghost Doctor Valley was doomed to die, and Tian Ning couldn't possibly leave alive, so there was no harm in telling the dead.
He then said, "If we don't listen to the Ghost Doctor, we will die."
