I am a mage and a wet nurse, so using seven swords is not too much, right?

Chapter 1320 Dragon Spirit Jade

"I just liked you, so I saved you without any reason."

Ning Ruan answered the question without even thinking.

"..."

Inside the Soul-Nourishing Jade, Chi Ling's soul body rippled slightly, seemingly choked by this overly casual answer.

"Well... thank you."

After a long silence, she uttered this sentence in a low voice, and then fell completely silent.

Ning Ruan took the Soul Nourishing Jade, then took out a jade bottle and dripped more than half of it with spiritual liquid.

He then placed the jade pendant on the table beside him.

……

"Please, let me go. I was wrong. I will never run away again."

The thick, dark iron chains gleamed with an eerie light, binding the human cultivator whose face was filled with terror.

The girl, dressed in red, walked barefoot on the cold floor tiles, watching the people below with great interest.

As if she had suddenly become very happy, she tilted her head and revealed a sweet smile on her face, which was covered by a red veil.

She crouched down, extended her slender fingers, and gently lifted the cultivator's blood-stained chin.

"beg me?"

Her voice was soft and sweet, as if she were coquettishly pouting.

"Speak louder, I can't hear you."

The human cultivator, bound to the ground by dark iron chains, suddenly raised his head, his face covered in blood and cold sweat.

All that remained in his eyes was despair and fear.

"Please... Lord Dragon Spirit Pearl, spare me... I'll never dare to do it again, I'll never dare to run away again!"

He kowtowed desperately, his forehead hitting the hard floor tiles with a dull thud.

"You don't dare anymore?"

Long Lingzhu blinked, her smile deepening. She gently traced her fingertips across his bloodied and mangled cheek, sending a slight shiver down her spine.

"But it's the process of watching you run away and then catching you that I find interesting."

"If you don't run away, how boring will I be?"

Upon hearing this, the human cultivator trembled even more violently.

He understood.

This madman wasn't punishing him for running away at all.

She did it on purpose!

"I was wrong... I was really wrong..." he pleaded incoherently, his voice trembling with sobs, "I'll never do it again, please cripple me, just spare my life..."

"Oh? You really want to live?"

"I want to live. As long as you spare me, I'll do whatever you want."

"Really? Then what if I told you to kill Ning Ruan?"

"I'll go and kill her!"

"Liar! How could a piece of trash like you possibly kill her?"

Long Lingzhu's beautiful eyes curved into crescent moons.

Then, she casually picked up the gleaming dagger on the table.

Suddenly, he thrust his sword into the opponent's dantian.

"what--"

The sound of a magical weapon piercing flesh was accompanied by an uncontrollable scream.

The human cultivator's body suddenly arched up, then crashed heavily back to the ground. Like a fish out of water, he convulsed violently a few times before becoming completely still.

He had clearly fainted.

The spiritual energy within the dantian, like a punctured balloon, dissipated wildly outwards, eventually returning to nothingness.

The person is not dead, but it is more painful than if they were.

"How boring, they're begging for mercy so quickly."

Long Lingzhu curled her lips in disgust, straightened up, and took several steps back, rubbing herself on the floor tiles as if she had stepped on something dirty.

He casually waved his hand towards the outside, "Drag him away, don't make my floor dirty."

Two guards rushed in from outside the hall and dragged the human cultivator, who was like a lump of mud, away without expression, leaving only a glaring bloodstain on the ground.

Just then, a tall figure strode in from outside the hall.

Behind him, two guards responsible for watching the palace gate followed with troubled expressions, their foreheads covered in cold sweat, yet they dared not step forward to stop him.

Long Lingzhu lazily raised her eyelids, her gaze passing over the people who came in and landing on the two guards.

She smiled.

"As my bodyguard, you can't even guard the door properly." She slowly sat down on the luxurious table beside her, her two fair legs swinging gently in the air. "Then what's the point of having these eyes?"

"Go down here and gouge out your eyes as punishment."

The two guards' faces turned deathly pale in an instant, their bodies trembling like leaves, yet they still managed to stammer, "Yes..."

"Dragon Spirit Pearl, what's wrong with you now?"

The newcomer wore a long black dress with dragon patterns. Her face bore a seven-tenths resemblance to the Dragon Spirit Pearl, but her temperament was completely opposite. She was as cold as ice, and her vertical pupils held no warmth whatsoever.

She walked straight into the hall, not even glancing at the two trembling guards, and fixed her gaze on Long Lingzhu.

"I came here of my own accord, they couldn't stop me, you should know that."

Long Lingbi's voice, like her personality, didn't have many emotional fluctuations.

"I know that."

Long Lingzhu jumped off the table, barefoot, and walked step by step to Long Lingbi, looking at her with a grin.

"But rules are rules. Even if it were my own sister, it would still be their dereliction of duty."

She held up a finger, tapped her chin, tilted her head, and spoke in a tone that was both innocent and cruel.

"If you neglect your duty, you should be punished, sister, don't you agree?"

Long Lingbi lowered her eyes, looking at her feigned innocence, her cold eyes filled with undisguised disdain.

"You did this because of Ning Ruan?"

She was too lazy to dwell on such trivial matters and cut straight to the point.

"You want to get revenge on her? But you can't, so you're targeting other humans to satisfy your pathetic pride?"

"Yes."

Beneath the red veil, the smile on Long Lingzhu's face gradually faded.

She abandoned her coquettish demeanor and looked directly at her blood-is-thicker-than-water younger sister.

"I really can't beat her. After all, I'm not like you, with such good talent and such high cultivation."

At this point, Long Lingzhu suddenly laughed again, a laugh that was barbed and sharp.

"If you're so good, then you go and fight."

"Go and twist Ning Ruan's head off to vent my anger."

She became happier and happier as she talked, as if she could already see that scene. When she got excited, she even clapped her hands.

Then, blinking, she said, "Little sister, you wouldn't... dare to do that either, would you?"

Long Lingbi watched her go crazy with a blank expression.

"With my current cultivation level, going to cause trouble for her would just be bullying the weak."

"Do you think everyone is like you, without any moral compass?"

"Yeah, I'm a loser, I like to bully the weak, so what?"

Dragon Spirit Pearl laughed as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world, her laughter echoing throughout the empty hall.

She spread her hands, her posture both arrogant and shameless.

"Even if I'm a good-for-nothing, no matter how much you hate me, I'm still your sister."

"Can you really kill me?"
