Insufficient balance

  Song Ningwei was shocked and then found that Tang Hao actually crushed the spiritual instrument with his bare hands. Although Tang Hao's hands had the blessing of spiritual power, even so, most foundation-building cultivators still did not dare to be so reckless.

  "Cousin, what strange encounter have you had again?" Song Ningwei murmured.

  "How is this possible?" This long spear was Lin Xiao's life-bound magic treasure, the long spear was shattered, and Lin Xiao couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

  Tang Hao's spiritual power circulated again, and all the fragments shot towards Lin Xiao like bullets. Lin Xiao didn't hold back either, circulating his spiritual power once more to form a protective shield around his body while constantly retreating to reduce the impact of the shattered artifacts.

  But what Lin Xiao didn't expect was that his shield encountered shrapnel, and at first it could still withstand it for a while, but dense cracks appeared on the shield, and then with a crisp sound, the shield instantly disappeared.

  Without the shield, the fragments hit Lin Xiao's second layer of defense, his spiritual power armor. Tang Hao had seen Lin Xiao's spiritual power armor before, and it seemed that he had used his spiritual power to turn his physical body into armor, so that even his own treasured sword could not cause him any harm.

  But this time was different, Tang Hao feared that Song Ningwei would be suspicious and did not use the five-element spiritual power to infuse the fragments, but simply used the golden spiritual power. The five-element spiritual power only provided impact force for these fragments.

  But even so, these fragments were deeply embedded in Lin Xiao's armor, although no blood was visible, fortunately the fragments were extremely numerous, some of which had even shot into the holes created by the previous fragments.

  Finally, countless blood pillars shot out from Lin Xiao's body, and his body had no more blood color, seemingly without any resistance.

  Song Ningwei was stunned by everything in front of her, her cousin who had always followed behind her, living in her shadow, had become so powerful, and even though she was only at the peak of the Qi Refining stage, this situation made Song Ningwei involuntarily shiver.

  "What exactly happened between you and your cousin?" Song Ningwei fell into reminiscence.

  Song Ningwei came to Zhong Ying's bedside, looking at the pale-faced Zhong Ying, and cried: "Cousin, it's all my fault, I'm the one who wronged you."

  Zhong Ying touched Song Ningwei's hand and smiled: "It's okay, Uncle has already given me the spiritual medicine, soon we can go up the mountain to play again."

  Song Ningwei forced a smile and said: "Thank you, you are my best sister, in the future if you have any danger I will also go all out to protect you."

  All of this was overheard by Song Cuo outside, who saw his face condense and muttered to himself: "It seems that I have been too lenient with them. In this cruel world of cultivation, if one is overly concerned with emotions, they will eventually be dragged down."

  A few days later, Song Ningwei still went to take care of Zhong Ying as usual, but when she opened the door, she saw Zhong Ying packing her things.

  "Cousin, where are you going?" Song Ningwei asked in puzzlement.

  Zhong Ying smiled, "Uncle said I'm almost recovered and wants to take me out for some training."

  Song Ningwei suddenly felt a sense of loss, "How long are you going out for?"

  At this time, Song Wugui walked out and said: "It's probably been a year, during which you should study well with your brother. Although Yongliang's dantian is ruined, the survival experience in the Xiuzhen world is not something you can compare to."

  Song Ningwei nodded and said, "Yes, Father."

  This year, Song Ningwei would always cultivate in the pavilion in front of her home, in fact, the spiritual energy here was not thicker than at home, but Song Ningwei had always wanted to see that figure return.

  One day, Zhong Ying finally returned with Song Cui Hua. In a year's time, the cultivation of Zhong Ying, who had a yellow-grade spiritual root, hadn't increased much, but the strange expression on her face made Song Cong Wei feel extremely unfamiliar.

  "Cousin, you're finally back." Song Ningwei didn't care about Song Tongxu's face and directly rushed over to hug Zhong Ying.

  Zhong Ying still smiled, but this smile made Song Ningwei feel a little strange.

  "Table sister's cultivation has grown so fast, if one day you build a foundation, you must support and promote your table sister." Zhong Ying's tone made Song Ningwei feel somewhat estranged, with less intimacy and more flattery.

  But Song Ningwei still didn't want to think about it, pulling Zhong Ying into her room, where there were fresh flowers carefully arranged by Song Ningwei in colors that Zhong Ying loved the most.

  Song Ningwei originally thought that Zhong Ying would jump up with joy, but unexpectedly, Zhong Ying used her spiritual power to pluck the petals off and said: "These flowers are indeed quite good for cultivation."

  Song Ningwei fell silent, she found that the current Zhong Ying was not her cousin she knew, but a stranger.

  "Come to my room for a bit." Song Donghu called out to Song Ningwei, who was still in a daze.

  "Why did my cousin become like this? Why?" Song Ningwei cried out loudly.

  Song Tonghu said sternly: "Isn't this good? Only by becoming like this can one survive in the Cultivation Realm, and you will also become like this in the future."

  "No! I don't want to become like this, even if it kills me!" Song Ningwei cried out.

  "Child, I'm doing this for your own good. Once you've experienced more things in life, you'll naturally understand. You were born with a delicate constitution, and if you continue to cultivate in this state, it would truly be a waste."

  Song Ningwei stepped back a few steps and called out: "Dad, what are you going to do?"

  Song Zonghui took out a dan medicine and said, "Don't worry, it just increases your body's sensitivity and desire, so the use of your Mobi bone will be even greater."

  "No! Cousin sister, save me!" At this time, Song Ningwei still thought of Zhong Ying first.

  "Cousin? Well, in that case, let me introduce you to your new cousin!" Song Wuzhu restrained Song Ningwei, rendering her immobile, while calling over Zhong Ying.

  "Feed this to Ningwei and then take good care of your cousin." Song Donghu threw the medicine to Zhong Ying, then closed the door and left.

  Song Ningwei looked at Zhong Ying walking towards her and said: "Don't! Cousin sister, don't!"

  But Zhong Ying didn't listen to Song Ningwei's pleading, and instead stuffed the medicinal pill into her mouth. At the same time, she took a sip of water and kissed Song Ningwei on the mouth, sending the pill down her throat.

  Song Ningwei suddenly felt her body heat up, with thousands and thousands of ants crawling inside.

  "Cousin, why?" Song Ningwei suppressed the turmoil in her heart and forced herself to say.

  "Cousin sister, I'm also doing this for your own good. You'll understand later. For now, just let me help you get used to this new body." Zhong Ying smiled slyly.

  Zhong Ying's hands began to wander on Song Ningwei's body, causing the originally suppressed Song Ningwei to completely lose her rationality, and the physical restraint was also lifted. Song Ningwei pounced on Zhong Ying in her arms like a wild beast.

  When Song Ningwei regained her sanity, the tremors in her body still hadn't dissipated, but she could finally suppress them. Looking at her naked body with various marks left behind, Song Ningwei couldn't help but burst into tears.

  "How's it? Sister-in-law? Feeling good, right?" Zhong Ying said in Song Ningwei's arms.

  Song Ningwei looked at Zhong Ying in front of her and suddenly felt a sense of disgust, directly shouting: "Get out!"

  Zhong Ying was taken aback, but still left sensibly. Song Ningwei put on her clothes, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes, and muttered to herself: "Cousin, since you don't acknowledge me as your cousin, then don't blame me for not acknowledging you as my cousin."

  From then on, Song Ningwei treated Zhong Ying as a chess piece. According to Song Tongxu's intention, she wandered among various high-ranking cultivators, turning things around with ease, and her cultivation also made rapid progress.

  But for some reason, Song Ningwei still maintained her virginity, as if she was guarding something, but what it was, even she couldn't say.

  Until one day, Zhong Ying and Tang Wan'er went to Earth, only Zhong Ying came back.

  Song Ningwei, who had been in contact with Zhong Ying for many years, naturally guessed what Zhong Ying had done, but didn't know why. It seemed that Song Ningwei saw the original look in Zhong Ying's eyes again, but she didn't pay much attention to it and hid it in her heart at the same time.

  Later, on Earth, Song Ningwei unknowingly went to find Zhong Ying and found that she had indeed changed, gathering a group of like-minded friends. However, in the cultivation world, who can really distinguish between what's real and fake? Song Ningwei just thought that Zhong Ying's acting skills had improved again.

  However, later in the Cliffside Treasury, Song Yingwei still didn't believe Zhong Ying, but for some reason, she still helped Zhong Ying cut off her fate, perhaps to resolve the karma from their past lives, so that neither of them would owe each other anything.

  Now Zhong Ying is blocking in front of Song Ningwei to save her, and Song Ningwei seems to see the return of the real and bright smile that always appears on Zhong Ying's face.
