Chapter 820: Chapter 820: Genius Young Lady vs. Reborn Concubine-born Daughter (Part 31)
No one knew how much time had passed, Cheng Ling’s consciousness was already in a dazed state.
The only thing supporting her to keep going was that obsession in her heart.
She wanted to become stronger, she wanted to rise above others.
This determination kept her from succumbing to the endless pain.
Until the first rays of dawn spilled onto her through the tightly closed window.
That beam of light seemed to have a magical power; Cheng Lingyu felt a cool sensation spreading slowly from her Dantian, the coolness alleviating the burning sensations and ripping pain little by little, as a faint trace of strength began to fill her feeble body.
She felt a burst of joy in her heart, knowing she had succeeded!
She struggled to sit up; this simplest of actions drained her of the little strength she had just regained.
Positioning herself into a form with five hearts facing the sky, Cheng Lingyu slowly began to perceive the subtle Mystic Qi in her body as instructed by the sheepskin scroll.
She waited, waited for the cool energy to permeate all her muscles, bones, and blood, and when her body fully recovered from last night’s severe injury, it would be the time for her to act.
Then, she would truly become the one and only Cheng Lingyu.
She didn’t know that in the room, just five steps away from her, two individuals were silently standing. Original content can be found at NoveI~Fire.net
“You do care for this younger sister of yours,” said the Great High Priest.
With a wave of his hand, he set a Barrier around them; not even Cheng Lingyu in her peak state could sense their presence.
Gu Shengyin said, “After all, she’s my sister, just consider it as giving her an opportunity.”
This sister, of course, referred to the real Cheng Lingyu.
The Great High Priest took a good look at the meditating Cheng Lingyu, suddenly saying, “This young lady has a resolute character.”
Gu Shengyin said nothing; of course, she had a resolute character.
Unfortunately, her arrival itself was a mistake from the very beginning.
The two waited for about two Zhan Cha.
When the body had almost fully recovered, Cheng Ling calmed her thoughts and entered her spiritual sea.
The real Cheng Lingyu’s soul was still quietly asleep, but the light around her illusory body had grown much stronger. This meant that if not influenced by external forces, she would naturally awaken soon.
Cheng Ling’s face showed a hint of killing intent: Sorry! Since fate brought you to meet me, just continue sleeping soundly.
With a motion of her hand, she reached out towards Cheng Lingyu’s neck.
But before she could touch Cheng Lingyu’s soul, she felt a tremendous force suddenly immobilize her, and then a massive pull tore her soul out.
The surroundings were empty, seemingly with nothing to rely on.
Cheng Ling knew something was wrong; the sheepskin scroll had never mentioned such an occurrence.
She lifted her head, and what she saw made her pupils constrict.
In front of her stood two people.
One she recognized well; it was Cheng Linyin, who had just received the title of Youth King.
The other was a white-robed man whose looks and demeanor were the most extraordinary she had ever seen, but upon seeing him, her heart filled with endless fear and submissive awe.
This man was terrifying!
She turned her head back, looked at Cheng Lingyu’s body sitting motionless on the bed, then at the two standing before her, and thought about her recent experiences—what more was there to not understand?
