Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation-Chapter 716 - 334: Mountain Climbing Gathering

That night, in the tidy little room.

Xue Chuchu concentrated on writing her test paper, completely unaware of Xue Yuantong’s cold and indifferent schemes.

However, even if she had known, she would probably have just chuckled lightly.

In another room, Jiang Ning sat at his desk, his Divine Sense probing into the Storage Ring, retrieving a pile of spiritual materials.

He took a stack of lotus leaves, singled out one, and with a light drag of his fingernail, he cut it to the size of half a playing card.

Afterwards, Jiang Ning guided the thick ink on the desk to dye the lotus leaf. This was no ordinary lotus leaf, but a Spiritual Lotus carefully cultivated by Jiang Ning on Hu Qi Mountain.

The lotus leaf, after being soaked and dried under the sun, was sturdy enough to carry some simple talisman effects.

This trip to Taishan, with Jiang Ning’s constitution, even without taking the mountain paths, he could easily reach the summit. But Xue Yuantong was a different story.

Without preparation, if Xue Yuantong became terribly exhausted, the trouble would still fall on him.

Jiang Ning took out a writing brush, a gift from Shao Shuangshuang, expensive and made of wolf hair. It sufficed for drawing low-level talismans.

Holding the brush, Jiang Ning activated his Spiritual Power to form exquisite symbols, imprinting them on the surface of the lotus leaf, the delicate yet solid symbols gradually taking shape.

Once all the symbols were outlined, a clear stream of light flashed from top to bottom and the symbols connected, forming a complete circle.

This was a ’Godspeed Talisman’. When activated by an ordinary person, it greatly increased speed and reduced fatigue, making it one of the most commonly used talismans among early-stage Qi Refinement cultivators.

Jiang Ning drew three Godspeed Talismans in a row and swallowed an Elixir Pill to recover his Spiritual Power.

At the same time, he took out a pile of wooden bars and jade.

After leaving home, the house would inevitably be empty. Next door, Dongdong was a mischievous child. To reduce unnecessary trouble, Jiang Ning decided to give him a bit of a block.

He remembered a widely known Array called the "Heavenly Demon Chaotic Dance".

It sounded intimidating, but it was actually a low-level Array. Once it was set up around a residence, the house would become haunted, with ghastly winds and ghostly cries, making it impossible for anyone to sleep through the night.

Jiang Ning had never needed to use it before, but now he had an opportunity.

He started to make the components required for the "Heavenly Demon Chaotic Dance" Array so he could let Dongdong’s house experience a bit of life’s dangers tonight.

As night grew deeper, with Aunt Gu not being home and no one to restrain her, Xue Yuantong madly played video games.

It was past 11 PM when she finally rubbed her eyes and put down her iPad.

Under the lamp, Xue Chuchu was still studying. Xue Yuantong admired her; Chuchu was really awesome, always able to study for such long periods.

Xue Yuantong said, "Hey, Chuchu, you must have learned a lot of knowledge tonight, right?"

"Not like me..." She felt so degenerate.

Xue Chuchu replied, "You’re not bad either, you ate half a watermelon, two bags of chips, a big pack of chicken wings, a bottle of grape juice..."

She listed Tongtong’s spoils one by one.

Xue Yuantong’s face dropped.

"Oops, I was so caught up in the game that I forgot to wash my hair!" She looked for an excuse to escape.

Washing her hair too late would make it hard to dry and sleeping with drenched hair was uncomfortable.

She had showered when she came back from the river dam because she was too lazy to wash her hair then, wanting to play games first, but now the time had dragged on.

She hurriedly left for home.

Xue Chuchu smiled gently; it was 11 o’clock, and it was time for her to go to sleep. She needed to get up early for classes tomorrow.

Xue Yuantong first looked for Jiang Ning, making sure he wasn’t asleep. She was counting on him to blow-dry her hair after all!

Upon entering her home, she saw Jiang Ning standing in the courtyard. Xue Yuantong was puzzled: "Why aren’t you in your room? Aren’t there mosquitoes outside?"

Jiang Ning had just finished setting up the "Heavenly Demon Chaotic Dance" at Dongdong’s house.

He glanced at her: "There are mosquitoes outside, but you’re here, aren’t you? As long as there’s someone next to me, mosquitoes don’t bite me."

He quoted what Xue Yuantong had said before. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

She left in a huff.

As she washed her hair, Xue Yuantong grew more and more irritated. Lately, Jiang Ning had been too arrogant; she needed to find a way to discipline him.

The first idea that sprang to mind was not to cook for him, to starve him, but alas...

Xue Yuantong sighed with her little mouth; if she didn’t cook for Jiang Ning, Chuchu would.

Her threat became weak.

She applied shampoo, and because she was so preoccupied with her thoughts, Xue Yuantong accidentally got shampoo in her eyes while washing her hair.

From a young age, she was taught never to let shampoo get into her eyes. When her mother washed her hair, Xue Yuantong always clenched her eyes shut.

But today, she got it in her eyes. She opened her eyes to rinse them with water, only to be faced with darkness!

Xue Yuantong blinked, feeling a burning in her eyes, but her vision was still pitch-black.

The boundless darkness almost made her suffocate.

A terrifying thought suddenly arose in Xue Yuantong: ’I’ve been blinded by the shampoo!’

’I’m blind!’

Countless horrifying thoughts surged from the deepest abyss of her heart. If she was blind, wouldn’t she be at Jiang Ning’s mercy from now on?

If Jiang Ning ate oranges and gave her the orange peels instead, would she even realize?

It was too dreadful. Thinking of her tragic half-life, Xue Yuantong was overcome with fear, her legs went wobbly, and she nearly fell to the ground.

She leaned against the wall in sorrow. If it weren’t for her newfound strength, tears would have probably flowed.

"I’m blind."

In the darkness, Xue Yuantong rubbed her eyes, once again confirming her reality, her face in despair:

"I’m really blind!"

In the adjacent room, Jiang Ning was close to dying of laughter. Seeing her pitiable state, he decided not to tease her any longer.

Jiang Ning snapped his fingers, and the bathroom light instantly came on.

The pure white light appeared in Xue Yuantong’s vision, and the sink and mirror reappeared. Her despair turned to amazement.

Then, puffing up her cheeks, she declared indignantly, "It turns out there was a power outage!"
