A few more days of dull days passed, and Shen Mian felt fulfilled with attending classes, practicing, and reading every day.

But today was a little different. She received a letter from the Shen family.

The first one was from Chen Xing. Shen Mian opened it and saw a few big words on the top - Homework List.

Shen Mian closed the letter quickly.

She opened it again and took a look without giving up. It still had the words "Homework List" in large letters, covering every stage of her homework for the rest of the semester.

Two full sheets of paper.

Shen Mian held the homework list and sighed deeply.

Uncle Chen's homework arrived late.

The other letter was actually written by Chen Xing. In the letter, he expressed concern about her recent condition, her health and her alchemy progress. He also told her to have a good rest, but not to forget to send her homework back on time. If she didn't send it back on time, he would check it when she got home.

Shen Mian finished reading the entire letter with a depressed heart.

The second letter was very thick. Shen Mian almost thought there was something wrapped inside it, but when he opened it, he saw five large pages filled with words written by Pan Xia to her.

How bored she was after Shen Mian left, how much the servants in the courtyard missed her, the bookstore had published some new storybooks, she would definitely like this theme, what new flowers were planted in the courtyard, she would be able to see them when Shen Mian returned, Wei An left and there was no news, I wonder if he found his family...

Shen Mian smiled unconsciously as he read the letters. He could already imagine what Pan Xia's expression was like when she was writing these letters.

Alas, I suddenly feel a little bit homesick.

Shen Mian admitted, only a little.

The last letter was from Mr. Shen, which was extremely concise, vigorous and powerful.

"Mianmian, the banquet was a great success, and I got a lot of attention from those old guys. It's a pity that you were not here, so they didn't get to see my sweet granddaughter.

Study hard at the academy, and tell grandfather if anyone bullies you!"

Shen Mian put the letter away and replied one by one. She also specifically mentioned Luo Qingxun's enthusiasm for the storybook brought by Pan Xia. Maybe they would have some topics to talk about.

It was already late at night when I finished writing the letter and lay down on the bed. Tired after a day, Shen Mian soon fell into a deep sleep.

Her consciousness suddenly came to another place. It was dark all around and she could not see any way out. She walked down in the darkness. She didn't know how long she had walked before she finally saw a figure.

The scarlet eyes were like thick blood, different from the transparent and somewhat enchanting red in Mu Yan's eyes. That red made people feel depressed and uncomfortable, almost suffocating.

The man was chained and sat cross-legged on the ground, his brows full of rebelliousness. He gently raised his eyes and looked at Shen Mian: "Are you the one chosen by Shattered Abyss? Oh, let me see, you are so weak."

Shen Mian looked alert: "Who are you? Where is this place?"

There was a hint of amusement in his red eyes: "Here? Of course this is in the Shattered Abyss, my little master~"

The surrounding environment was quiet and chilly, but the temperature was frighteningly high. Shen Mian narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you the sword spirit of the Shattered Abyss Sword?"

But aren’t sword spirits only found in magical weapons above divine weapons?

"You guessed half right~ The master is really smart." He gently hooked a strand of his hair with his fingers, and his tone was joking, as if he was teasing a small animal, which made Shen Mian very unhappy.

She crossed her arms and looked down at him: "You look like you've been sealed?"

"Yes." He chuckled softly, "Young Master, would you consider helping me break the seal? I am very strong."

Shen Mian nodded to show that he understood. Very strong = not obedient = cannot be unlocked.

She snorted softly: "You don't look like a good person. What good will it do me if I unseal you?"

"You are the master who signed a contract with me. What do you have to worry about? If I hurt you, I will be retaliated." There was some arrogance and frivolity in his blood-red eyes. "Such a powerful helper, isn't it a benefit? Help me to unlock the seal. No Spiritual Emperor or Spiritual Saint can stop you—"

His voice was a little low, with some seductive meaning, "Don't you want to become a strong man? No matter how talented a fifteen-year-old spiritual general is, he is just an ant in front of a truly strong man. One finger can crush you to death. I will help you and ensure that you are safe before ascending. How about it?"

Shen Mian looked at him calmly: "You are so arrogant? But I don't think I have ever heard of your name."

"That's right, the name of Shattering Abyss Sword is indeed not well-known." He smiled and moved his body slightly. Shen Mian then discovered that he was wearing thick chains on his hands and feet, and the chains made a dull sound when they hit each other. "The original name of Shattering Abyss Sword is Soul Devouring Sword, but they seem to like to call me - Soul Devouring Demon Sword."

He raised his eyes to look at Shen Mian, with blood boiling in his eyes: "My name is Li Po, how about it, young master? Would you consider helping me to unlock the seal?"

Shen Mian did not speak, but took two steps back cautiously. Suddenly, she found that the bloody smell around her seemed to be getting heavier. The scene in front of her eyes flickered, as if she was at a battlefield. The smell of blood and soil filled the air. The ground was covered with yellow sand, and the soil and rocks were covered with dark red, already dried blood. There were piles of corpses under her feet. She stepped on the skeletons, and in her hand was... Shattered Abyss? No! It was Soul Devourer!

Sometimes she felt the world was spinning in front of her eyes, filled with corpses of all kinds of people. Sometimes she felt she was floating in the air, watching "herself" holding a sword and killing all kinds of people with an expressionless face. She had never seen those people before, but they seemed strangely familiar to her.

In another moment, it seemed as if tens of millions of ghosts were struggling to rush towards her with twisted bodies, tearing her body and devouring her soul. The screams and roars of the evil spirits almost broke her eardrums. She knelt on the ground with one hand supporting the sword and covering her head in pain with the other hand.

"Uh-"

A struggling and twisted figure flashed in front of him, and suddenly turned into the appearance of Shen Xianyue, then turned into the appearance of Shen Chuan, and then turned into the appearance of various people Shen Mian had killed before.

"Look, there are so many idiots in this world. Isn't it painful to let them jump around in front of you? Kill them, kill them all, and there will be peace—"

Shen Mian had a splitting headache. The voice was like a devil's sound piercing her ears, making it difficult for her to think. She subconsciously followed the voice and raised the sword in her hand.

"Yes, that's it. Kill them all. Then no one will stop you—"

Shen Xianyue mocked her with a ferocious look on her face: "Shen Simian, you are just a useless person without a father or mother to love you! Why don't you just die!"

Shen Chuan twisted his body and was about to pounce on her: "I am the genius of the Shen family! You bastard! You are not from the Shen family! Go to hell!"

Shen Feng sneered at her: "Do you really take yourself seriously? The old man won't do anything to us for you!"

So annoying...

So annoying, so annoying, so annoying——

Noisy!

Shen Mian clenched the sword in his hand, turned around and slashed at the shadow behind him——

The scene in front of her collapsed with a loud bang. When she opened her eyes again, she was still in the original dim space, and in front of her was Li Po, who had a surprised look on his face.

"Huh? I never thought..."

"Snapped--"

He didn't finish his words because Shen Mian rushed up to him, raised his hand high, and slapped him hard.

After slapping him, Shen Mian quickly retreated and looked at him warily.

He was caught off guard and was slapped in the face. His captivating face tilted to one side. After a long time, he slowly raised his hand and touched the place where he was hit.

Shen Mian's attack was not gentle, and half of his face turned red almost instantly.

He blinked slowly, and suddenly laughed softly. His laughter became louder and louder, and even his shoulders trembled slightly.

Damn pervert!

Shen Mian cursed in his heart, thinking about how to get out of this space.

Just when she was secretly trying to use spatial spiritual power, Li Po finally stopped.

He raised his slender fingers and gently wiped away the tears from his eyes, then looked at Shen Mian with a smile: "It seems that the young master has no intention of cooperating with me for the time being. So, see you next time--"

Before Shen Mian could say anything, a white light flashed before her eyes, and she returned to the room, still lying in bed.

She sat up suddenly.

Could it be that it was only her spiritual consciousness that entered that space just now?

Lipo, the Soul-Devouring Sword, what exactly is it?

Is it true that this kind of thing won’t kill its owner?

Seeing that he was sealed, she didn't expect that he had the ability to bring her into that illusion. Thinking of the scene in the illusion, Shen Mian still felt a lingering fear.

She was almost brainwashed.

It seems that I have to be more careful next time they meet. I didn't expect that he still had such ability even after being sealed. It was her who was careless.

Thinking of Shattered Abyss, Shen Mian took it out and examined it carefully. He found nothing different and cursed at Shattered Abyss again: "You pervert, you pervert."

Unexpectedly, Suiyuan suddenly moved and made a buzzing sound, as if protesting, which scared Shen Mian so much that he almost threw it away.
