He's obviously the villain, but the heroine is all for him?

"So it's that little girl. She's grown up so beautiful now."

Liu Chengfeng stroked the three strands of beard under his chin, and suddenly his eyes felt stinging and he couldn't look the other person in the eye.

He was filled with inexplicable horror. This was a punishment from his superiors. If he dared to continue watching, his life would be in danger!

This woman must not be spied on!

Nangong Ling seemed to have sensed something as well. She glanced at the three people at the main seat, and a hint of deep-hidden resentment flashed in her eyes.

Her good uncle Nangong Yue seems to be upright, but in fact he is an old fox with no conscience.

It can be said that her current situation is basically inseparable from Nangong Yue!

The necklace on her chest emitted a slight vibration, calming her rising emotions.

She touched it gently through her skirt, feeling extremely calm.

A month ago, when she was meditating in the pond, a necklace fell from the sky. It not only dispelled the severe pain that came every month, but also greatly accelerated her cultivation speed.

This discovery made her ecstatic, but no matter how she checked, she could not find any trace of the necklace, and finally she put it on her snow-white neck.

The pendant on the necklace just hung on her plump breasts. It was unknown what material the pendant was made of, but even if it was hidden between her breasts, it would not feel like a foreign object.

In order to avoid being discovered by others, she simply kept it in there, buried deep in the baby's granary, using it to speed up her practice.

Later, she discovered that no matter what kind of herbs, as long as they were close to the necklace, they would be transformed into spiritual liquid for her cultivation. She made rapid progress from being stuck at the fourth level of Body Tempering, and reached the ninth level in just one month.

Unfortunately, after her parents passed away, the family property that originally belonged to her was almost eaten up by other members of the clan. The monthly dividends were pitifully small, not enough to support her daily cultivation needs. She couldn't afford to buy other herbs at all, so she had to go to the mountains to dig them herself. If she had encountered the mysterious necklace earlier, perhaps she would have been a warrior in the Condensed Veins Realm by now.

Once she enters the Vein Condensation Realm, she will have the possibility of joining the Yuhui Sect through her family, and her path in the future will no longer be controlled by others!

This step stopped many warriors. The monks in those sects had seen too many so-called geniuses. Unless you are gifted, otherwise you are just an ordinary genius and they will not look down on you.

If her parents were still alive, there would still be a glimmer of hope. After her mother's death, her good uncle's wife dug out her companion bone, which severely damaged her vitality and made her cultivation difficult. Now Nangong Yue would never agree to let her join the Yuhui Sect!

Just as she suspected, Nangong Yue felt a little uneasy when he saw that Liu Chengfeng seemed to have taken a fancy to Nangong Ling. If this little bitch really managed to climb up the Yuhui Sect's high branch, he would be the one who would suffer in the end.

So he leaned close to Liu Chengfeng and whispered in his ear, "Brother Liu, this girl was born with strange horoscopes. Her father died before she was born, and later her mother too. Her cultivation is only at the fourth level of Body Tempering. She is not suitable to join your sect."

Under the effect of the mysterious necklace, Nangong Ling's cultivation level displayed to the outside world was still the fourth level of Body Tempering.

Liu Chengfeng was warned by the power just now and had long since stopped daring to look at Nangong Ling. After hearing Liu Chengfeng's words, she didn't say much but just kept nodding in agreement.

Nangong Yue then sat up straight with a smile and announced the official start of the coming-of-age ceremony.

The great elder on the side stood up to take charge of the situation. After a series of relatively complicated ceremonies, it was time to separate.

"Nangong Huateng, 18 years old, third level of Juyuan Realm!"

A striking sign appeared on the test stone. Nangong Yue laughed heartily and led the applause.

In the center of the crowd, Nangong Yue's daughter raised her head proudly, enjoying everyone's envious gazes, but after glancing at Nangong Ling, she turned her head away with some discomfort.

If she didn't have this sister who was a few months younger than her, she would probably still be a useless person in the middle stage of the Body Tempering Realm.

Now that Nangong Ling's bones have been transplanted into her body, her cultivation speed has skyrocketed. It's a pity that these bones are not her natural ones after all, and inevitably produce some rejection reactions. Otherwise, she would have entered the Xuanling realm long ago.

"Brother Liu, this is my daughter, look..."

Liu Chengfeng looked at Nangong Huateng. His attention had been drawn to Nangong Ling just now, and he hadn't paid attention to the plain-looking Nangong Huateng. He didn't expect the Nangong family's daughter to have such dazzling talent, and he was very satisfied.

"Since she is Brother Yue's daughter, I must teach her well. How about she become my disciple?"

"That's great!" Nangong Yue quickly called his daughter over, "Quick, Hua Teng, serve tea to your master!"

Nangong Huateng was also extremely excited. He quickly took the tea and performed the ceremony of paying his respects to his master seriously.

None of the other younger generations had reached the Condensation Veins Realm. Liu Chengfeng had already accepted a disciple with extraordinary qualifications. Now that the mission was completed, he had no plans to recruit more people.

Nangong Ling was a little anxious, hesitating whether to expose her strength. Even if she wasn't at the Condensing Veins stage, she had barely touched the threshold of the Great Perfection of Body Tempering. She had a hunch that she would be able to break through in three days at most!

Just when she was secretly anxious, the necklace vibrated again, stopping her impulse.

"Don't you want me to go?"

Nangong Ling lowered her head and asked quietly. The necklace seemed to understand what she meant and sent out a wave of vibration again.

"Who are you?"

There was a hint of helplessness on the girl's stunning face. Although it was a pity to miss the road to Yuhui Sect, she always felt that following the necklace would definitely not be wrong.

Soon, the fate of the remaining boys and girls was determined. When it came to Nangong Ling, the girl put forward her own ideas.

"Uncle, I don't plan to go into business. I want to practice on my own."

If you refuse the family's distribution, you will no longer receive dividends in the future. The Nangong family will not accept any family member who just eats and waits for death.

"You... Well, if that's the case, then it means you must have your own plans. I won't force you any further."

Nangong Yue sighed on the surface, but he was actually extremely happy inside. This way, even the withheld dividends could completely go into his pocket.

As for what Nangong Ling could achieve, Nangong Yue was not optimistic at all. Everyone had a time when they were full of ambition. He had also gone out to explore the world, but in the end he was beaten to a pulp and returned to the family, climbing step by step to the position of patriarch.

He didn't care about Nangong Ling's life or death. It would be better if she was eaten by a ferocious beast while out training. She shouldn't be buried in the Nangong family even after her death!

Nangong Ling clenched her fists. The man in front of her was her uncle, but he didn't even try to persuade her to stay. Blood is thicker than water!

They all thought she was too young to remember anything at the time, but she could dream every night of her aunt’s cruel eyes and rough hands digging the bone out of her body!

After all, she was the favorite of fate, and the missing bones grew back on their own.

Whenever she thought of this, her shoulders would ache slightly. The newly grown bones would make her feel so painful that she couldn't breathe every month, but they gradually showed their extraordinary qualities.

Just when she was planning to go back to practice and strive to break through the Condensed Veins Realm as soon as possible, she suddenly heard Liu Chengfeng's exclamation from behind her.

"Supreme Bone! No, no, no, this isn't just any Supreme Bone!"

Liu Chengfeng examined Nangong Huateng as if he were looking at a treasure, his face showing both surprise and joy. "Brother Yue, I won't stay overnight. I'm going to take Huateng to the sect right now and ask the sect master to help identify the level of this supreme bone!"

"Good, good, good!"

Nangong Yue was overjoyed and hurriedly handed over a storage bag, saying in a hoarse voice: "This contains some gifts from me, brother Liu. Please accept it!"

"Hey, you and I are brothers, and Hua Teng is so extraordinary, why bother with this!"

Having said that, Liu Chengfeng still secretly put the storage bag into his sleeve.

Supreme Bone! And not just any Supreme Bone!

Nangong Ling smiled miserably, her silver teeth almost biting through her lips, and her fingers were clenched too tightly, so her nails pierced the delicate skin, and bright red blood flowed out.

No wonder they coveted his bone. So that's how it is, so that's how it is...

She didn't know the true meaning of the Supreme Bone, but she understood the word Supreme.

She grew up in the Nangong family. The clan leader was a warrior in the late Xuanling realm, which was not enough to be a cultivator. However, with the support of the Yuhui Sect, he was very clear about the various realms of cultivation.

Step on the stars, chase the moon, and the sun, then it is destiny, and then the realm of the Venerable.

In the Qiang world, the Venerable is also called the Supreme. Doesn’t possessing the Supreme Bone mean that you are related to the Venerable?

It seems that the cousin who took away her supreme bone is destined to have an extraordinary future.

Nangong Ling felt a little pain in her heart. She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and walked back to her house dejectedly.

It was called a mansion, but in reality it was just a stone house with a small courtyard of about ten square meters at the entrance, and a small pond at the back. It was located in a remote area, without even a servant. As the daughter of the clan leader's younger brother, no one would believe such treatment.

Perhaps because of her "natural bad luck" fate, other people in the tribe did not dare to bully her, for fear of being killed by her. Therefore, no one came to her for so many years.

She closed the doors and windows, sat cross-legged on the cushion, gritted her teeth, and took out all the herbs she had dug.

She originally wanted to sell some of them for some money, but she had no strength to move forward. There were ferocious beasts in the Condensation Vein Realm deep in the back mountain. Only when she became strong could she go deeper and pick better spiritual medicines and herbs for her practice.

The girl pulled out the necklace from her chest and placed the herbs close to the pendant.

A magical scene appeared again. When the herbs approached the pendant, they instantly turned into pure spiritual liquid, and even the original impurities were directly refined.

Looking at the spiritual liquid floating in front of her against gravity, Nangong Ling sucked it with her little mouth, and the spiritual liquid went down her throat into her stomach.

The spiritual liquid took effect almost instantly. She only felt a little bloating and pain in her lower abdomen, and she quickly wanted to practice her internal energy.

A mysterious technique emerged in her mind, and she unconsciously began to practice according to the description.

After three cycles, the spiritual fluids flowed through her meridians along the route of the exercises, allowing her to steadily break through to the Condensed Veins Realm without any suspense!

"I... I am a warrior in the Condensed Veins Realm! I have finally become a warrior in the Condensed Veins Realm!"

Nangong Ling cried with joy. After her supreme bone was dug out, her talent dropped drastically. She had become a fifth-level warrior in the Body Tempering Realm at the age of only 7, but she dropped directly to the first level. It was extremely difficult for her to practice, and she was stuck at the fourth level of Body Tempering for several years!

She originally thought that she would never be able to condense her meridians in this lifetime, but she didn't expect that it would actually happen now!

"Thank you so much, thank you so much!"

It transformed herbs into spiritual liquid and bestowed upon him a mysterious and powerful skill. All this was thanks to the necklace.

This necklace is a gift from God to her!

She hugged the necklace and kissed it hard several times, smelling the frankincense on it, and the girl's face turned red again.

The necklace was wrapped very well by her, still had her body temperature, and smelled like her own scent.

At this moment, a pleasant voice suddenly sounded in her ears.

"Are you really thanking me?"

"Wow!"

Nangong Ling was startled and accidentally fell to the ground. After getting up, she looked around but could not see anyone else.

"Don't look, I'm here."

The necklace on her chest floated up and drifted in front of her eyes.

"You, you, you...how can you still speak?"

"I can help you enter the Condensed Veins Realm, so what's wrong with being able to speak?"

The girl suppressed her restless mood, adjusted her breathing, and then slowly accepted the fact that the necklace could speak.

"My name is Nangong Ling. Do you have a name?"

"Name? That's not important. In my time, no one dared to call me by my name."

There was a sense of arrogance in Necklace's words, but Nangong Ling did not think he was bragging. Instead, she was full of interest.

"Are you really that powerful that others don't dare to call you by your name?"

"Xiao Ling'er, my cultivation is much stronger than you think... After going through some things, I became what I am now and fell into this mortal world." The necklace made up a lie.

Nangong Ling believed it without a doubt. She knew that everything she had now was thanks to the other party. She carefully took off the necklace, placed it on the counter, and knelt on the ground respectfully.

"Very good, very good. You, little girl, really know how to be grateful. Are you willing to become my apprentice?"

"Nangong Ling has received the grace of Senior and inherited his skills. I have long been your disciple! Master, please accept my disciple's greetings!"

After saying that, she kowtowed three times seriously.

"You're worthy of being the heroine, you're so sensible..." The necklace muttered something that Nangong Ling couldn't quite understand, and then increased the volume, "Well, from now on you'll be my apprentice. You'll know that the Nangong family and the Yuhui Sect are all bullshit~"

The girl was amused by him, but she did not forget to ask the most crucial question.

"Master, it's okay if you can't tell me your real name, but can you tell me how outsiders call you?"

“It’s simple and easy to remember.”

The necklace floated towards the girl, and the pleasant voice clearly dropped two words into her ears.

"Emperor."

Chapter 343 Taking on a Little Apprentice

"Master, what level does the Yuhui Sect have in the entire Qiang world?"

"Although my time is ten thousand years away from now, looking at the entire universe, the Yuhui Sect is nothing."

"Their sect leader is a powerful being in the Sun Realm!"

"Sun Realm, Great Power? How did these two words come together?"

"Master, could it be that you are a powerful person in the Destiny Realm?"

"No, can't you think higher?"

Nangong Ling asked this intentionally. In her mind, the Sun Realm was a powerful being, and the Destiny Realm was even more of a super boss. In an era when the Emperor Realm had not yet emerged, the Venerable Realm was the master!

She stared at the necklace in front of her, licked her dry lips, and said in a dry voice: "Master, could it be that you are a respected master?"
