Chapter 9: When Can We Internal Demons Stand Up? (2)
When they returned from Yunluo Peak, Yu Ying’s room had already been built. She tidied it up and moved in without delay.
—
Afternoon.
Yu Ying paced up and down her room. The feeling of parting had left a profound impression on her, filling her with a strong sense of belonging to the Duxian Sect.
This place was unlike anywhere she had ever been.
In Marquis Wu’an’s mansion, she had witnessed nothing but intrigue and strife. In the small village, all she had encountered was indifference and gloom.
But here, on Qiongming Peak, for the first time in her life, she felt wrapped in warmth.
It was so comforting.
This must be what the warmth of home feels like.
Her Elder Martial Sisters, Bai Lian, the jade rabbit—everyone felt like family. The second and third Elder Martial Sisters, along with the jade rabbit, were like loving sisters living in harmony. Bai Lian, on the other hand, reminded her of a gentle mother who managed the household with care and patience.
As for Shifu…
“It doesn’t seem right to call Shifu a father figure,” she murmured.
It wasn’t the gender that felt wrong—it was the temperament.
Shifu exuded a dignified aura. But when she stood beside Bai Lian, it felt more fitting to see her as an elder sister who disliked talking.
(๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧
Yes, that was it! That was the feeling!
A soft smile appeared on Yu Ying’s face.
Until Shifu returned safely, she resolved to work hard.
—
Yu Ying decided to improve her ranking on the Jade List—the leaderboard of the Duxian Sect’s younger disciples. Through this, she could gain combat experience and prepare herself for the second level of the Original Dragon’s test.
But it wasn’t just about her anymore.
She thought about her Elder Martial Sisters, about their kindness and camaraderie. The best outcome would be one where they could all thrive together.
“Even as the youngest Martial Sister, I can help them in my own way,” Yu Ying thought determinedly.
Her mind went to the jade rabbit first.
—
Yu Ying walked to the jade rabbit’s room and pushed the door open. The jade rabbit was perched on the table, munching on spiritual grass.
For the fifth time today!
Yu Ying shook her head silently.
It’s not good for Elder Martial Sister Jade Rabbit to fall into desire, she thought.
She shared her concern. There’s a limit to how quickly a cultivator can absorb spirit Qi. Overindulgence didn’t lead to happiness—it led to waste.
Yu Ying gently explained the concepts of temperance and orderliness to the jade rabbit.
Although spiritual herbs were beneficial, greed wasn’t.
The jade rabbit paused mid-chew, tilting her head.
“Haw haw,” she nodded. It seemed to make sense.
The irritation she had felt from being interrupted vanished.
Yu Ying really was a good person. If she built a good relationship with her, perhaps she could finally compete with Xiao Jinse and Su Youwei!
The jade rabbit looked at Yu Ying with newfound kindness and even offered to train with her. This helped Yu Ying improve her practical skills rapidly.
—
Another long night.
Su Youwei huddled under her quilt, listening to the wind and thunder caused by the surge of spirit Qi.
Her second Elder Martial Sister had officially broken through to the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
But that wasn’t the most frustrating part.
In the morning, she had heard that the fourth Martial Sister—Yu Ying—had entered the top 30 of the Jade List.
Out of curiosity, she ran to check.
Yu Ying was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
At first glance, it didn’t seem like much. But her placement on the Jade List revealed the truth—she was a true genius.
Su Youwei fell silent.
Just a month ago, her strength had been on par with her second Elder Martial Sister’s. She even had the upper hand at times.
But now, she had become the weakest on Qiongming Peak—even weaker than the youngest Martial Sister!
The thought filled her with frustration.
This can’t continue!
Her cultivation base had stagnated, and she knew why. It was because of her internal demon. Though suppressed, it hadn’t been eradicated.
If she recklessly advanced her cultivation, she might fall victim to the demon when attempting to break through to the Golden Core Stage.
—
Su Youwei’s eyes grew resolute.
In the past, she had taken a cautious approach, attempting to kill the demon bit by bit. But now, it was clear that radical measures were necessary.
She didn’t want to lag behind.
Closing her five senses, Su Youwei entered the sea of her divine sense.
Unlike before, when it had been a cold prison, most of it was now warm and spring-like, protected by the figure of Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian that she had visualized.
Only a small corner remained for the internal demon.
When Su Youwei arrived, the internal demon sat cross-legged, meditating.
“Internal demon!” Su Youwei’s voice echoed.
The demon opened her eyes slowly, glanced at Su Youwei indifferently, then looked away.
She was used to Su Youwei’s frequent outbursts.
But today was different.
Su Youwei clenched her fists, determination blazing in her eyes.
“Internal demon, today is your end!”
The demon flinched. Provoked, she stood up.
End?
A furious tremor coursed through her.
When can we internal demons stand up?
She had endured long enough. This insolence could not be tolerated any longer!
She only had a small corner left in the sea of divine sense—yet Su Youwei dared to act so arrogant!
The demon’s eyes blazed as she glared at Su Youwei.
“Very well. Let’s see how you plan to kill me!”
