The top-level junior sister also wants to act weak today

"Since you know so much, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth." Tao Mengnan's eyes darkened a little: "You know the most powerful champion in Yun Kingdom's history, Meng Lang, right?"

Jiang Yingxue nodded: "I know, a great man from Yun Country a hundred years ago."

"That's right." Tao Mengnan's face lit up with admiration, his tone filled with passion. "Meng Lang's emergence has greatly promoted the development of Yun State. He not only dealt with countless disasters, but also implemented many policies that made Yun State unprecedentedly prosperous. Unfortunately, he died young at the age of thirty. If he were still alive, Yun State would definitely be more powerful than Canglan State now."

He paused, his eyes blazing with frantic enthusiasm. "And now, I have a way to summon his soul. Then, Meng Lang and I will be able to lead the Yun Kingdom to new heights. Even surpassing the Canglan Kingdom is just around the corner!"

"Pfft..." Jiang Yingxue looked at his almost crazy appearance and couldn't help laughing out loud, with a hint of ridicule in the corner of her eyes: "What the outsiders said is right, you are indeed a lunatic."

Tao Mengnan disagreed, with a confident smile on his face: "People laugh at me for being too crazy, I laugh at people for not seeing through me!"

He raised his chin slightly, his expression becoming fanatical, as if he could already see himself and Meng Lang standing at the pinnacle of the Cloud Nation together. "When I successfully summon the spirit of the God of Tests and let him possess me, all of you will prostrate yourself at my feet."

"Oh, everyone's crawling at your feet, and you still want to be the emperor?" Jiang Yingxue rolled her eyes and said, "So your method of summoning is to kill people?"

Tao Mengnan raised his eyebrows and said, "Murder? Miss Jiang, you should feel honored to have Meng Lang back in this world."

His voice was filled with unparalleled confidence: "The Sleeping Demon said that it only needs to absorb the souls of women with the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth to summon Meng Lang's soul."

His words echoed in the air like a deep roar, and he exuded an indescribable passion. His cheeks flushed slightly, and he felt even a little excited. His hands unconsciously clenched, lost in his own fantasy: "Then he can possess me, take the imperial examination with me, and create a new era of prosperity together! And you—" He pointed at Jiang Yingxue and emphasized his tone: "This is not a simple death, but a sacrifice for the Yun Kingdom, for the return of Meng Lang to the world!"

"Don't worry, I'll treat you very well." Tao Mengnan raised a sinister smile, and the expression on his face changed from eager to weird: "I will let you go in a decent way. I will dress you in new clothes and put makeup on you. You won't die miserably..."

Jiang Yingxue shuddered at the thought of the portraits recorded by the coroner. "Are you sane? You call it respectable to be transformed into that ghostly form? If I were transformed into that form, I wouldn't let you go even as a ghost. You have no sense of taste! And I've never heard of any method to summon the soul of someone who's been dead for hundreds of years."

She tilted her head slightly, with a provocative smile: "To be honest, it's been so long, I should have been reincarnated as a new human being. What, you have the ability to bring the dead back to life?"

"You—you! Superficial! Ignorant! So foolish!" Tao Mengnan, who was being questioned, was enraged. He pointed at Jiang Yingxue and cursed: "Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean it doesn't exist! How can a mortal like you understand the magic of immortals?"

"Immortal magic?" Jiang Yingxue laughed in anger, but the smile soon faded. Her expression became serious, and her eyes were extremely sharp: "Witchcraft is witchcraft, how can it be immortal magic?"

"You won't understand even if I tell you!" He then pulled out a dagger that gleamed with cold light from his bosom and said with a ferocious look, "Summer insects can't talk about ice. Talking to you any more will just be a waste of words. Since you don't want to put on beautiful makeup, then I'll grant your wish and let you die like this."

"Then come on, if you have the guts, use this dagger to kill me." Jiang Yingxue put on her shoes fearlessly and walked slowly towards Tao Mengnan.

Every step she took seemed to weigh on Tao Mengnan's heart, leaving him feeling an invisible pressure... How could a woman like her exist? Was she courting death? Or did she have another plan?

Seeing this, Tao Mengnan began to tremble unconsciously.

He didn't even dare to kill a chicken, let alone stab someone with a knife. And if she got hurt and screamed for help, wouldn't the rescuers find her quickly?

Or, escape?

But she has already seen herself. After reporting to the authorities tomorrow, she will no longer have a place to stand in Liangzhou and may not be able to take the imperial examinations in the future.

No, Jiang Yingxue must die tonight!

His face gradually twisted, anger and fear intertwined, as if a dark cloud was rolling in his heart. He said to the sleep demon anxiously, "No matter what method you use, even if it means attacking her, you must make her fall asleep quickly! Quick!"

The night was dark, the windows were slightly open, and the room seemed unusually quiet under the hazy moonlight. Only the breeze blew gently through the treetops, making a slight rustling sound.

Just when he was extremely anxious, he heard the low voice of the Sleep Demon.

"Master Tao, my magical power is limited. I need to absorb the soul of the fifth woman before I can increase it. I don't know why this woman is not affected by my spells. I have cast spells on her repeatedly, but she won't fall into a coma."

"How could this happen?" Tao Mengnan stared at the Sleeping Demon blankly, a trace of uneasiness passing through his heart.

[I don't know either. If a mortal were to be struck by my magic, they would immediately fall into a coma. Unless her cultivation level is higher than mine, and she is no longer a mortal.]

"Impossible, this is impossible..." Tao Mengnan shook his head: "She is just a daughter of the Sun family, a daughter of a wealthy family, delicate and spoiled, how could she not be a mortal?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yingxue curled her lips into a cold smile. Her eyes were as sharp as a knife. She pointed at the twisted black energy beside Tao Mengnan and demanded, "Have you two had enough of this chat? Your so-called immortal family? Is it just this formless monster?!"

The flickering candlelight on the table reflected on Jiang Yingxue's cold face, inexplicably adding a layer of danger to her. The air around them seemed to freeze at this moment, and a sense of oppression permeated the silence. Even the wind dared not whisper.

Tao Mengnan looked up in horror. Shocked, he took two steps back, his face suddenly pale. His gaze shifted between the Sleeping Demon and Jiang Yingxue, a hint of fear and unease in his eyes. "Impossible! This is my Sleeping Demon. How can you see it?"

"It's just a little demon. People who practice immortal cultivation can naturally see it."
