Chapter 194: Just As You Have A Rabbit, I Also Have A Dragon
Wrong, that’s not her thought!
Ming Zhaoshuang suddenly realized and blurted out, “System, did you hear any unusual sounds in my mind just now?”
The System coughed lightly, “I’m sorry, I encountered a bug. You can disregard anything you heard just now as nonsense, don’t take it to heart.”
“This kind of bug might happen again in the future, but I will try my best to fix it.”
It spoke very calmly, but Ming Zhaoshuang sensed a hint of panic in its words.
It was as if it was about to face something enormous.
Ming Zhaoshuang vaguely sensed something.
The System could clearly hear the voice in her mind, and it said, trying to cover up, “You don’t know, cultivating innate dual spirit roots is like this, there are always some impurities to interfere with you. Just like Feng He Du Xian back then, the Wood Spirit Root and Wind Spirit Root were clearly symbiotic spirit roots, but that scoundrel insisted on saying ‘The tree that grows taller than the forest will be destroyed by the wind,’ isn’t that pure nonsense.”
“So don’t worry, host.”
After hearing her words, Ming Zhaoshuang calmed her mind.
She spoke coldly, not knowing who she was speaking to, “Who says my Ice Spirit Root and Lightning Spiritual Root cannot coexist? What nonsense are you spouting? I am going to cultivate both spirit roots simultaneously, I just like how you can’t stand me but can’t do anything about it!”
Saying that, she began to meditate and focus, painstakingly exploring ways for the two spirit roots to coexist.
Cultivating the Ice Spirit Root alone was not a problem, and cultivating the Lightning Spiritual Root alone was difficult but also not a problem.
Cultivating both the Ice Spirit Root and the Lightning Spiritual Root simultaneously was a huge problem.
Every time she cultivated, she vomited blood.
But Ming Zhaoshuang was stubborn; she could feel that the Ice Spirit Root and the Lightning Spiritual Root could coexist.
And that they could transform into each other.
So she tried again and again, until after more than ten attempts, the System couldn’t bear to watch anymore.
The System said, “Host, if you continue like this, my energy will be a bit insufficient. After all, I still need to heal Ming Zhaoxue. If you waste my energy like this, I will be very sad.”
Every time Ming Zhaoshuang got injured, the System had to help her heal.
Ming Zhaoshuang found it a bit strange, “My energy wasn’t short even when I was so badly injured before, and now I’ve only vomited a dozen mouths of blood, you…”
Mid-sentence, Ming Zhaoshuang suddenly remembered that the System had a so-called bug.
It was possible that this bug had severely depleted the System’s energy.
In that case, Ming Zhaoshuang couldn’t force it any further and could only temporarily give up cultivating both spirit roots simultaneously, choosing to cultivate only one instead.
Several sunsets passed, and several sunrises.
Ming Zhaoshuang felt that Xie Yanning seemed to have opened her eyes and was looking at her.
She broke free from her meditative state and saw Xie Yanning looking at her with a look of surprise.
Seeing her wake up, Xie Yanning said, “You, are you an innate dual spirit root?”
An innate Ice-Lightning Dual Spirit Root at that!
An innate Ice Spirit Root alone was enough to surprise Xie Yanning, but she never expected Ming Zhaoshuang to also have an innate Lightning Spirit Root!
In the past hundred thousand years, although innate dual spirit roots were extremely rare, they were not unheard of. For example, Saint Feng He back then had innate Wood and Wind dual spirit roots, which were equivalent to innate Wood and Water dual spirit roots.
But an innate Lightning Spirit Root had never appeared.
Xie Yanning had once heard from her Honored Master that an innate Lightning Spirit Root was a provocation to the Heavenly Dao. If heavenly thunder could not pose any threat to it, then the Heavenly Dao could not completely control its life and death, so Heaven and Earth would not allow such a spirit root to be born.
Yet, the person in front of her, the spiritual flow in her hand, was indeed an innate Lightning Spirit Root.
Although very weak, Xie Yanning could feel that the bit of spiritual flow within her body was an innate Lightning Spirit Root!
Ming Zhaoshuang said, “Yes, it’s just that I can’t get rid of the impurity issues of these two spirit roots yet, so I can only exert the talent and strength of a peak grade spirit root.”
Only extreme purity is worthy of being an innate spirit root. Innate single spirit roots are geniuses, while innate dual spirit roots are impurities to each other.
Unless one possesses the bloodline of the Divine Race.
Xie Yanning said, “Then since you are a disciple of Zhen Hanliu, you can become the Saintess of Rim of Dusk, and in a hundred years, you can form a marriage alliance with the Dragon Domain and become Dao Companions with the Dragon Race. This way, you can fully unleash your talent.”
“Just like Feng He Du Xian tens of thousands of years ago.”
Xie Yanning mentioned it casually, but saw Ming Zhaoshuang’s brows gradually knit together.
“That’s wrong.”
Ming Zhaoshuang said, “Feng He Du Xian’s talent was not unleashed because she became Dao Companions with Ao Tian; it was the result of three years of marrow cleansing and blood replacement and thirty years of abandoning Dao and re-cultivating. If I want to solve the impurity problem, there will inevitably be only this path.”
Ming Zhaoshuang thought that the story of Feng He, apart from Feng He herself and the other Four Saints, was probably unknown to anyone.
It was no wonder her mother begged Qin Du to arrange an engagement for her with Qin Feilong.
Ming Zhaoshuang knew clearly what kind of path lay before her, but she was fearless and looked forward to the day she would enter the Phoenix Pool and be reborn from the ashes.
She said, “As for the Dragon Domain, I will absolutely not form a marriage alliance with it. In fact, I believe that in the future, no woman will sacrifice herself to form a marriage alliance with it.”
Xie Yanning asked doubtfully, “The Dragon Domain is a sacred land that everyone in the Thirty-Six Heavens yearns for. From what you’re saying, it seems the Dragon Domain is not a good place?”
In the education Xie Yanning had received, the Dragon Domain was the abode of the supreme Divine Race, and forming a marriage alliance with it should be a fortunate event. Yet, judging from Ming Zhaoshuang’s tone, it seemed different.
Ming Zhaoshuang said, “As far as I know, the Dragon Domain is indeed not a good place; it can even be described as dirty and chaotic. For men, it is bones in the mud, pills in the furnace; for women, it is a caged bird, an object in a tent, with no humanity or divinity whatsoever.”
Honestly, Ming Zhaoshuang also found it strange. The Dragon Race was, after all, a divine race, not a ferocious beast like Qiongqi. How could their dwelling place be so chaotic?
And the absence of females was truly strange.
Xie Yanning frowned slightly, “I wonder how Fairy Ming knows this.”
Such news was somewhat subversive to Xie Yanning’s understanding. If the Dragon Domain were truly as Ming Zhaoshuang described, then she felt that such a place, let alone being a sacred land they yearned for, had no reason to exist.
Ming Zhaoshuang naturally could not reveal everything she had seen within the Heaven and Earth Yin Yang Formation back then. Therefore, she smiled at Xie Yanning, rolled up her sleeve, and revealed a pale, stern corner.
“Because just as you have a rabbit, I also have a dragon.”
Ming Zhaoshuang wanted to complete her KPI of helping women awaken, so she definitely had to get along well with Xie Yanning. As is well known, the most important point in approaching someone is to have common ground with them.
What Xie Yanning cared about most was the white rabbit in her hand.
What Ming Zhaoshuang cared about most was the white dragon on her arm.
Moreover, she believed that Xie Yanning, who would slay the Fifth Prince of the Demon Realm for her Dao Companion, was a righteous and loyal person and would not reveal the existence of Xiao Bai to others.
Of course, the most important thing was that she and Xie Yanning were in the same boat right now; Xie Yanning couldn’t leave her.
And Xie Yanning didn’t know her, so there was no risk in telling her.
As Ming Zhaoshuang expected, when Xie Yanning saw Ming Zhaoxue on her arm, she was first startled, and then seemed to recall something, a hint of emotion surfacing on her cold face.
She said, “He… what did he go through?”
