Quick wear, the beautiful and soft female supporting role's charming road

And she actually said he was short?!

"This is... caused by the magic I've been practicing. What do you know?!"

Zhuang Yusheng was a playful person. Because of his small stature, many people liked to tease him. Over time, he became very concerned about this. He explained to many people that it was due to cultivation, but it didn't change much.

Ning Jiao rolled her eyes, "I don't understand, but it's a fact that you are short!"

This guy had been constantly talking bad about the original behind her back, so it was a good thing for him to be criticized and make him feel bad for a while. She also wanted to let him know that even a flaw of his that was justifiable could be ridiculed by others, and he would be furious. But why did she, her senior sister, not think of putting herself in his shoes, and instead became one of the main people spreading the rumors?

Ning Jiao didn't choose to talk things over with Zhuang Yusheng, but instead picked on his faults, using his own methods to fight him. She felt that it was unnecessary and useless. Even if she, as a senior sister, had kept him in her heart, it would only have hurt him more.

What he thought were insignificant words and prejudices were actually a form of resistance and deliberate insult that showed she had never accepted the original body as her senior sister.

In that case, there was no need for her to spend that time trying to calm down.

The original body had given up on Zhuang Yusheng long ago, and the resentment generated could be offset in this way.

As they were choking, a voice like the trickling of a stream interrupted, "Yusheng started late, practicing magic at the age of seven or eight. His spiritual roots are of the wood attribute, so they grow slowly."

Ning Jiao looked over and saw that it was undoubtedly Mu Feng.

He was dressed in a gray-blue robe, standing tall and graceful with a frost-shaped flower in his hand. He smiled gently and looked at her without any of the teasing he had before.

He is good at being a peacemaker.

"Oh."

Ning Jiao responded indifferently, "It's too profound, I don't understand. Top-grade wood spiritual roots, wouldn't that make you grow faster?"

Zhuang Yusheng stared at him with his big eyes. "I've told you, but you don't understand. Do you think growing too fast is a good thing? If I let it grow as it is, my cultivation speed won't be able to keep up, and it will cause big trouble. Master found this method specifically for me. It suppresses the influence of my spiritual roots on my body and applies all of it to my cultivation."

"I just grow slowly, not like I can't grow up. Ning Jiao, please don't look down on me!"

"When I grow up, I'll make you look good!"

Ning Jiao tilted her head nonchalantly, "What does it have to do with me whether you grow taller or not?"

Zhuang Yusheng: "Ning Jiao, you—Big Brother, look, Ning Jiao is bullying me again!"

Mu Feng looked at the girl with her arms folded and a nonchalant look on her pretty face. Suddenly, a certain image appeared in his mind.

The girl looked sad, her brows furrowed in melancholy, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion and pain. She sat in front of him and told him about her sadness and distress.

"Big Brother, I've tried my best, why are they still unwilling to accept me?"

"Junior brother, do you dislike me? Do you hate me? Why does he always look unwilling when I go to practice sword with him? Or is he making excuses because he has other things to do?"

"Brother, I've done what you asked. Remember your position as Senior Sister and be lenient with others. But all I've felt is... indifference. I don't understand."

Back then, Ning Jiao always wore dark-colored dresses, had a reserved personality but was sincere. Though not particularly talented, she was diligent and hardworking... He clearly had a pair of eyes, and they were certainly influenced by others, so he only saw her flaws and inferiority. But he never thought about why—why was that?

Mu Feng looked at Zhuang Yusheng, because he actually preferred to believe other people's evaluation of her, and these people were all close people in front of him - junior brother, junior sister, second junior brother, and master.

In fact, he had become a sharp sword that hurt her in the dark. During this period, he often thought about things that he had never considered before. The words that his junior brother said about Ning Jiao were all negative. The junior sister actually had a bad relationship with her. Apart from refining pills, the second junior brother rarely communicated with Ning Jiao.

As for the master, she rarely saw him... and he became Ning Jiao's only support.

She meant it when she said he was the most important person in her life.

But... when she needed help and guidance, he actually chose to be perfunctory - how come he only saw clearly now that Ning Jiao was the one who needed care and attention the most.

"Junior brother, why don't you call Jiaojiao "Senior Sister"?"

Zhuang Yusheng was stunned. "Big Brother, why are you asking me this question? Ning Jiao is such a mean woman. She's jealous of my little sister, has poor talent, and always mocks me. She's not my sister!"

Mu Feng was also shocked, "Junior Brother!"

Zhuang Yusheng realized he had said the wrong thing, but it was too late to take it back, and he was too embarrassed to change his words. "...That's how it was, isn't it? She's different now, but she was like this before, and she always mocked me..."

"Ning Jiao, I won't apologize to you, and I won't accept your apology unless—"

Ning Jiao: "Okay."

"From now on, I'm not your senior sister, and you're not my junior brother. Anyway, since you hate me so much, I... don't like you either. We're both tired of each other."

Zhuang Yusheng looked at Ning Jiao's serious expression and unconsciously tightened his grip. "Ning Jiao...are you serious? Whoever regrets this is a puppy."

Ning Jiao raised her head and laughed, "Are you childish or a puppy? Anyway, I just want to say one thing: if you don't regret it, I won't regret it either. Anyway, we don't communicate much, so regretting this is really not easy. Don't worry, I won't compete with Sangsang to be your senior sister."

Ning Jiao smiled and her words were full of teasing, but Mu Feng inexplicably felt that Ning Jiao was serious.

Mu Feng: "Yusheng, why don't you apologize to your senior sister!"

Zhuang Yusheng glanced at him, then looked at Ning Jiao, "I'm not apologizing, I'm not wrong. Ning Jiao was not a good person before, and she's even worse now. I don't recognize her!"

Mu Feng wanted to say something, but when he turned around, he could only see Ning Jiao's back.

"Yusheng, why are you so prejudiced against Jiaojiao? Has she ever done anything to hurt you?"

"In the Sun-Blinding Forest, Jiaojiao risked her life to save everyone. Didn't you see it? Whether she is your senior sister or not is not up to you to decide. It was the master who accepted her. If you don't approve of her in your heart, why didn't you tell her earlier? Do you know how much she cares about you..."

How much I care about you, my junior brother.

Zhuang Yusheng's eyes were filled with resistance and confusion. "It's great that she saved everyone, but... but how is this the same? If it were my eldest brother, he would have saved everyone too."

"She, Ning Jiao, saved me, so I should be even more grateful?"

Mu Feng looked at him in disbelief. "Why would you compare her like that? If you don't consider her your senior sister, you should still be grateful even if it's a stranger who helps you. Since she's not your senior sister, why are you comparing her with me? Yusheng, your prejudice against Jiaojiao is too deep."

... ...It was right for Ning Jiao to leave early. She expected that Mu Feng and Zhuang Yusheng would say something again. Zhuang Yusheng would definitely refute them and make excuses for himself.

Prejudice is the hardest thing to eliminate. People like Zhuang Yusheng always want you to keep proving to them that your prejudices are different from his, and then they will reluctantly agree and accept it.

But why should she prove it?

Not worth it.

Xie Fanzhi's arrival gave everyone in Lan Kingdom a reassurance. The King of Lan Kingdom was following him and asking about relevant matters. As Xie Fanzhi's disciples, they were naturally among them, listening to the King of Lan Kingdom talk about which parts of the country had been invaded by demons.

"Thank you, Sect Master. What I'm most worried about is the northeastern border. My youngest prince is in charge of Zhilan City there. He's been resentful of me for a long time because of his mother's affairs. I'm afraid that place has been occupied by the demon tribe now."

"This boy has a sinister nature. The messenger who delivered the message yesterday said that he is colluding with the demon tribe. If Your Excellency sends someone to deal with him, show no mercy if you encounter him..."

Ning Jiao also listened in the same way, thinking that this person might be the future king of the human race.

The king was truly cruel, convicting his own son without even investigating. According to the plot, the king misunderstood his favorite concubine, who was framed and betrayed, and executed her without questioning the truth. This concubine was the mother of his youngest son.

With such a foolish father who killed his mother, if he had a simple mind, he would have died long ago. He deserved to be killed in the end.

Ruan Sangtian would definitely be sent, but she wasn't sure. However, she had no intention of interfering. She had no connection with the future king of the human race, and her connection with Ruan Sangtian was only because of this help, so she decided not to get involved.

Later we talked about the monks from Lan Country.

The royal family of Lan State naturally recruited monks. Most of these monks had no sect or school, or they were expelled from their sects due to their high level of cultivation and mistakes, or they were evil cultivators.

They did not obey Emperor Xuanzong's orders, and before Xie Fanzhi's arrival, they were even trying to steal the credit from them.

Now, even the most rebellious people have to obey Xie Fanzhi's orders and hunt everywhere.

Xie Fanzhi first created a large barrier in Shengjing, covering the entire capital city, and then sent disciples from the Qingxuan Sect to seal several demonic energy holes that had been found and strangle the demons that came out of them.

Some evildoers, big and small, who intentionally kill humans are dealt with in the same way, which can be considered as catching a turtle in a jar.

Ning Jiao looked at the demon beast flying outside the barrier, flapping its huge black wings. Black air filled the sky and the flames it spewed out seemed to be able to dissolve spiritual energy.

"That's the demon clan's soul-melting flying beast. It was created by the demon clan's Demon King Xi Buyi, who mixed his own blood with the water of the Ghost Crying River and used the Yin soil of the demon world to create this monster. It feeds on Yin Qi and demonic energy, and the Yin fire it spews out can melt spiritual energy."

Ning Jiao looked at Cheng Yuan who was speaking, and was stunned for a moment. She said without any focus: "This is no different from Xi Buyi's son. They are both difficult to deal with."

Seeing Cheng Yuan's face stiffen for a moment, "...There is still a difference."

Ning Jiao nodded, "Oh."

She hadn't meant to say "oh" on purpose. She and Cheng Yuan had nothing to discuss. Before, she could still get money and elixirs from him. But now that she had Xie Fanzhi, her bag of treasures was almost full. She had no desire for Cheng Yuan's few possessions and jewels; after all, she couldn't take the money with her.

She doesn't know when she will be able to leave this world. All she thinks about now is how to earn merits, so that she can be lucky enough to get in touch with the hero and heroine when they become gods and slap the heaven in the face.

Or, while the Heavenly Dao is adding divine crowns to the hero and heroine, he can use the power of origin to escape from the world, which can also be regarded as a lesson for this stingy Heavenly Dao.

Why should it be embarrassed by a female supporting role who always does good things?

Cheng Yuan looked at Ning Jiao, who was distracted in front of him, and felt a little disappointed. She didn't seem to want to pay attention to him. Could it be that what he said was not of interest to her?

After searching his mind for everything about Ning Jiao, he realized that he really knew very little about her. He didn't even know what she liked. He suddenly remembered that Ning Jiao had asked him for jewelry. Could it be that she liked this?

What reasons can I use to give her a gift?

Then he became annoyed again. What does her like have to do with him? Why did he give her something?

The image of her covered in blood had lingered in his mind for over six months since they'd parted in the Sun-Blinding Forest. He also vividly remembered the events of that illusion. He couldn't believe he'd ever had anything to do with Ning Jiao, let alone physical intimacy.

Moreover, the Ning Jiao in the illusion was a married woman, and that "he" knew it very well. That would have been fine, but then even Master Puhua got involved, it was a complete mess, just... abominable.

The damn vine monster actually used such an illusion to fool them.

Roughly speaking, they haven't seen each other for six months, and he still thinks about her, this... crazy woman.

"Master took you to the East Sea, but have you ever met my father?"

Ning Jiao came to his senses. His father? That red-bearded, dragon-horned uncle?

Why did he ask this? Could he be thinking about his father? The East China Sea is actually not far from here, why not go and see it in person? When asked what she was doing, she was too lazy to answer.

"Of course, everything is fine with Second Senior Brother's father. Not only did I meet your father, I also met Second Senior Brother's future mother-in-law, the queen of the mermaid tribe." And her son.

"Mermaids truly are the most beautiful creatures in the world. Although I haven't seen your fiancée, she must be a beauty as well. They are said to be extremely precious and magical. Their tears produce pearls, each of which is plump, and they can also sing beautiful songs."

"Second Brother is so lucky."

Ning Jiao said whatever came to her mind, but stopped talking when she saw Cheng Yuan's handsome face getting darker and darker.

She'd forgotten that he had someone in his heart, and her rash suggestion that he had a fiancée was like a slap in the face. She was right to be upset, but forget it. She didn't want to talk about it anyway. She still felt a little uncomfortable talking to him... His face didn't quite fit the image of a dandy county magistrate, and flirting with him felt a bit awkward.
