Chapter 88 The Promise of Longevity in the Letter
Demons in the universe and the living ghosts in the secular world.
The former was easy to understand and the latter certainly meant the brute of a man like Ning Qinshui.
Shubai could manage to understand but he was still puzzled.
“You cultivators are hypocrites...” His voice was feeble.
Without saying much, Ning Changjiu simply asked, “You’ve stayed here for more than a month?”
Shubai said, “Emm.”
Ning Changjiu asked, “What about your master?”
Shubai said, “If Ning Qinshui still didn’t come back about midnight, I would go back to check on my master.”
Ning Changjiu asked, “What do you usually eat?”
Shubai said grumpily, “There is rice in the house and I have hands. Can I be starved to death?”
Ning Changjiu looked at his thin body and his spine could be clearly seen through the thin clothes, which looked like a bone snake wigging on his spine.

Ning Changjiu unbolted the door, causing the dust to drop. After the door was opened, an old woman with a stick was found standing outside.The old woman had grey hair and a haggard face. She was thin and stooped slightly. Her cheekbones were prominent and the corners of her lips were a bit saggy. The wrinkles on her dry face just looked like the creases of the lotus leaves.She raised her head and stared at the young man in white with whitish and turbid eyes, saying tremblingly, “Is Mr. Ning back?”Ning Changjiu looked at her and couldn’t think of who she was. Hence, he simply answered, “No.”A disappointed look crossed the woman’s face. She said, “Oh... I saw smoke going out of the chimney so I thought Mr. Ning was back...”Ning Changjiu asked, “What’s the matter?”The old woman looked him up and down, asking, “You are the disciple of Mr. Ning?”Ning Changjiu said, “Yes, I can tell hi

“Do you know what a drink in the company of sing-song girls means?” Ning Changjiu replied with a question.Ning Xiaoling was rolling a copper coin among her fingers and said with a smile, “Of course I do. It means drinking in the brothel, paying the women to sing and dance, and then having a beauty to spend the night. Ouch...”Ning Xiaoling covered her head and Ning Changjiu withdrew his hand that knocked her head, saying with a smile, “You’ve learned so much!”Ning Xiaoling said in grief, “I heard it from several fellow disciples of the peak. They claimed to go to the brothel for a drink, saying that immortal cultivators would be treated well in the brothels. They won’t need to pay a lot.”Ning Changjiu said meaningfully, “Don’t listen to those fellow disciples chat anymore. They will contaminate your mind. You must learn more from me or Master Jiajia.”“Oh,” Ning Xiaoling intoned, elongating the word.
Beyond the Divine States Chapter 91 Prior to New Year’s Eve
Shubai sat on a stool and ate two bowls of rice.Thin as he was, he had a good appetite. Yet, he only gained strength rather than fat.After eating the meal, Shubai knocked on the edge of the bowl with the chopsticks, sitting absent-mindedly and staring at the compass. He remembered that the young man in white took money from the compass before. His eyes got gloomy. He was wondering whether the man would be afraid of him taking away all the money and then burning the house.Or... He was staring at me somewhere.Shubai looked around with vigilance. There seemed to be a sharp knife shivering in his heart. With his ears slightly twitching, he sniffed and wanted to search for some clues. Meanwhile, he moved towards the direction of the compass, put his fingers on it and twisted it. Surprisingly, he found it was loose.He twisted in a reverse direction. With a click, the mechanism buckle was unlocked.Sh

“Changjiu... We lost one pouch of money today but it was because you trusted the wrong person. Just take it as a lesson. But now... why do you buy so many ‘lessons’? This porcelain jar is still fine. The painting of the figure setting the firecrackers is quite cute but this porcelain figurine... The green clothes and the cheek color... Maybe it has been on the shelf for even ten years. And you bought it?”Ning Xiaoling pointed at the things on the table angrily. She stared at her fellow disciple with an air of fury mixed with confusion and pity.Just now, Ning Changjiu suddenly asked her for a considerable sum of money to buy some curiosities and antiques. Ning Xiaoling figured he must be able to buy some profitable things with his keen eye so she approved his request without thinking much.However...Ning Xiaoling was checking the things on the table. When she saw the porcelain figurine of a dancing girl in green with red c
Beyond the Divine States Chapter 93 The Bones Didn’t Get Old
In the early morning, the Sha Water of Linhe City was enshrouded with faint cold mist.From the direction of the long street, it could be found that the widest and longest street in the middle of the city formed a line with the bridge. The red lanterns hung on both sides of the streets were not lit up, which were asleep with the ancient city in the early morning.Ning Xiaoling still lived two doors away from Ning Changjiu as before. When Ning Xiaoling got up, she saw him sitting outside on a chair with his eyes closed. He looked as if asleep.Ning Xiaoling brought a quilt and threw it to him, saying grumpily, “Cover yourself with the quilt. We’ve spent so much money. If you get a cold, we cannot afford to let you see a doctor.”Ning Changjiu wanted to nap for another while and seek a shimmer of lucky chance in light of the traces of the past life. Now that he was woken up by Ning Xiaoling, a hint of hard-to-get inspiration w
Beyond the Divine States Chapter 94 The Night Before
At night, Ning Xiaoling leaned over the table, counting the copper coins one by one. With his head rested on her arm, she stared at Ning Changjiu and asked, “Changjiu, aren’t you really going to meet Xiang’er?”Ning Changjiu said, “Why would I meet Zhao Xiang’er? After ascending the throne, she may be supercilious now. Probably, she has forgotten her poor friends like us.”Ning Xiaoling chuckled and didn’t believe him at all.Ning Changjiu stayed silent for a while and then made a concession, “Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve. If nothing happens tonight, we will go then.”Ning Xiaoling asked, “What can happen?”Ning Changjiu bantered, “I’m concerned about my country and people. What do you know?”Ning Xiaoling grinned perfunctorily, “Okay. Okay. Okay. You are the best.”Ning Changjiu ignored the girl’s perfunctory reply and then asked, “Today is the Preliminary Eve. Would you like to go out f
Beyond the Divine States Chapter 95 The Lanterns
Just now, under the tall building, among the riot of sound, Ning Changjiu heard the mechanism unbolted and the dagger popping out within the zither. He also smelt the sudden blood smell. Yet, before he thought of something, the tragedy just happened.Ning Xiaoling saw the sudden accident and called Changjiu in a low voice. Among the chaos, she suddenly recalled her weakness a few days ago and flushed with shame. Then, she forced herself to stay calm and sensible.This prostitute was a born beauty, who had got through hardships for more than ten years. Now, it was a time of peace. And a well-off life was around the corner. However, on the eve of New Year, she jumped off the building and killed herself all of a sudden.The colorfully dressed fat woman cursed and cried in the tall building. She wiped her face with the handkerchief and smashed over the instruments, shelves and tables angrily.Under the brothel, the crowd formed

Lantern.Now, the city was full of lanterns.The burning lanterns looked like red and heavy persimmons.After the old man died, the light and heat of the lanterns in the city seemed to be snatched. All the light appeared somber and cold.On the bridge, the dancing girl looked at him with a wry smile, who seemed to be elated, dancing barefoot. The sing-song girl also fiddled with her hands behind the dancing girl, as if flicking an intangible zither.Those who went and came couldn’t see them at all.Ning Changjiu suddenly moved. Instead of responding to their provocation, he dashed to the direction where the black figure disappeared.The girl stopped dancing and gazed in the direction where he disappeared, saying restlessly, “This young man looked quite competent. Will he be a hindrance of Hades?”The sing-song girl still flicked the strings silently, who seemed to be fascin
