12dz Chapter 30 Crazy Woman
Chapter 30 Crazy Woman
After Su Luo and Zhou Minglang reached an agreement, Su Luo entrusted him with the entire matter of customizing the spiritual artifact. Zhou Minglang assured her that she could pick it up in five days, and then told her to wander around and try the specialties of Qiang City.
Su Luo readily agreed, not only buying many useful talisman-drawing tools but also enjoying the unique delicacies of Qiang City, having a wonderful time.
But as the old saying goes, excessive joy inevitably leads to sorrow.
Su Luo had only been enjoying herself for two days when she had a dream that very night. This time, she dreamt of her previous life, or rather, of something that happened before time reversed.
At that time, she had promised Heaven and tried every means to get close to Ning Wanshuang. At first, although Ning Wanshuang was wary of her, she did a good job of putting on a good show and treated her fairly well.
But Su Luo's ambition is to become the number one underling, how can she be content to stop here?
So she racked her brains to stay by Ning Wanshuang's side, helping her in every way, and even risking her life to save her during the training. It was after that training that Ning Wanshuang completely changed her attitude towards her, but not for the better. She began to reveal her true self to Su Luo.
Everyone in the Tianyi Sect knows that the charming and amiable Junior Sister Ning, who is always kind and gentle to everyone, always shows a different side of herself when she is in front of Su Luo.
She might like Su Luo, but she always nitpicks about what Su Luo says and does.
If someone else makes a mistake, she will gently and generously say it's okay; but if Su Luo makes a mistake, she will not hesitate to mock and ridicule her.
"Senior Sister Su, why are you always so clumsy? You can even make mistakes like this! Sigh! What will you do without me?"
She might dislike Su Luo, but she also has an unusual possessiveness towards Su Luo.
She didn't care how many friends others had; but once Su Luo got close to someone, she would appear with a forced smile. Later, for some reason, those people also started to distance themselves from Su Luo.
At this moment, Ning Wanshuang would appear like a compassionate goddess, opening her arms to Su Luo and even taking the initiative to hug her and comfort her.
"Poor Senior Sister Su, why are you always abandoned? Nobody likes you... Sigh, besides me, I'm afraid no one in this world will accept you, right? So, you can never leave my side."
Before she knew it, Su Luo realized that besides Ning Wanshuang, there was no one else around her to talk to, and Ning Wanshuang was watching her every move.
Such a life was too oppressive, so she simply went into seclusion to cultivate and avoid Ning Wanshuang. In her spare time, she would hide in her room to study talismans, trying her best not to think about Ning Wanshuang's abnormal behavior.
Until something happened, something that finally made her decide to leave Tianyi Sect and abandon the mission.
During a mission, Su Luo accidentally saved a rogue cultivator and treated him. After recovering, the cultivator kindly gave her several gifts.
The day before Su Luo and her companions were to leave, the rogue cultivator approached Su Luo shyly, saying he had something to say to her and asked to meet her at 5 PM. Su Luo then began to understand his meaning and was about to refuse, but he ran off before she could say anything.
Su Luo had no choice but to wait until the afternoon to refuse in person. But when she arrived at the agreed location, what she saw was an incredibly horrifying scene.
The rogue cultivator clutched his severed arm and groaned in agony on the ground, while standing not far from him was Ning Wanshuang, dressed in white with an ethereal air, holding a blood-dripping longsword in her hand.
"Su Luo, you... you still came after all?"
As if she had only just noticed Su Luo, she swung her longsword, spraying a pool of blood. Then she turned and looked at Su Luo, who was staring in disbelief not far away. The corners of her mouth under her veil slowly curled up, and her eyes, with their upturned corners, were filled with excitement.
"Don't worry, I've already taught that guy a lesson. He won't come near you again. He doesn't even know his place; he doesn't deserve to dream about things he shouldn't."
"Oh, by the way, you don't like me killing people, so I deliberately spared his life. Haha... I'm so considerate... You'll praise me, right?"
At that moment, the girl's eyes and laughter drained all color from Su Luo's face, sending chills down her spine.
Seeing that Su Luo was too shocked to speak, Ning Wanshuang put away her smile, extended her hand to her, and spoke affectionately.
"Su Luo, come here for a moment and help me wipe the blood splattered on my body. It's really dirty."
Su Luo snapped out of her daze, her eyes fixed on her. In the end, she moved her feet, but instead of going to Ning Wanshuang's side, she bypassed her and went to the side of the rogue cultivator whose fate was unknown.
She bent down for a quick look and found that in addition to losing an arm, the other person had many wounds of various sizes on his body, which made her feel even colder.
Has Ning Wanshuang gone mad? She's the female lead! How could she be so cruel as to hurt innocent people?!
In the end, Su Luo took out spiritual medicine to stop the bleeding and bandage the rogue cultivator, even though the other party had already fainted from the pain, and even though... there was an extremely cold gaze watching all of this from behind.
She had just finished bandaging herself when she suddenly heard the sound of a sword falling to the ground behind her. Ning Wanshuang threw down the sword and walked over, grabbing her arm and pulling her up, her face full of displeasure.
"Why are you healing this man?! I already told you he has ulterior motives towards you! He deserves to die! Why do you always disobey me?!"
Su Luo looked at her silently, as if she were meeting her for the first time.
The longer she stayed in this world, the more she felt that the world she was in was different from the novel she had read, but she couldn't figure out why it had become like this.
But now, she finally realized the reason. The reason lay with Ning Wanshuang!
This woman is terrifyingly out of character! The gentle, righteous, and justice-upholding heroine in the novel is completely different from this ruthless, deranged woman in front of me! Because the protagonist has changed, the plot has also undergone a significant transformation.
If the female lead is ruined, the novel is also in complete disarray, so what's the point of her doing the mission? And can those so-called missions really be successful?
But soon, Su Luo didn't have time to think about such things.
Ning Wanshuang moved closer to her, her arms wrapping around Su Luo's waist like snakes, her black hair brushing against her shoulders. She tilted her head and whispered in Su Luo's ear through the veil.
"Fine, I really do owe you something. If you don't want to listen, then don't listen, I'm used to it. It's okay if you don't come over, I can come to you."
The woman's words were so gentle, yet they felt like a cold, venomous snake coiling around Su Luo's neck, making her feel suffocated.
At that moment, Su Luo had only one thought in her mind: "To hell with the mission! Run! If I don't run, this crazy woman will drag me down with her one day!"
At the end of the dream, Su Luo felt her floating body gradually dissipating, indicating that she was about to wake up.
Before leaving, she couldn't help but look back, but when she saw Ning Wanshuang's expression in her dream, her heart almost stopped.
On the other side, Ning Wanshuang was leaning on her shoulder, her glass-like eyes suddenly turning into a strange blood-red color, gloomy and sinister.
She slowly and silently curled the corners of her lips as she looked in the direction of the wandering cultivator whose fate was unknown.
It was a wicked yet triumphant smile, brimming with victory and triumph...
"Hoo!!"
Su Luo was startled by those eyes and suddenly woke up, jumping out of bed. Realizing that she had just been dreaming, she wiped the sweat from her brow.
It was a dream, that's wonderful...
But soon, she covered her head.
But everything that happened in the dream was from my previous life, except for the last scene...
Looking back now, that crazy woman pretending to be the female lead did treat her very differently later on. She was extremely conflicted; even though that woman always despised her and constantly used psychological manipulation on her, she still wanted to hold her tightly in her grasp and monopolize all of her time!
Looking back now, I feel like there's something off about what she did... Could it be...?
Su Luo suddenly thought of a terrible possibility, and without thinking, she slapped herself, wincing in pain.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
It can't be what she thinks! Absolutely not! She must be overthinking things because of her dream! A madwoman is a madwoman; how could she possibly understand the other person's thinking? It's impossible! Yes, that's it!
Now she couldn't sleep at all. Su Luo glanced at the sky and felt that it was almost dawn. It seemed that it was still drizzling outside. She thought it would be a good opportunity to take a walk in the rain and clear her mind.
So she tidied herself up quickly, grabbed an umbrella, and walked out into the rain. Listening to the sound of the rain hitting the umbrella, her mood eased a little.
What's the point of dwelling on the past when it's not worth remembering?
No matter how much she imagines, those events happened before time reversed, essentially in her previous life. In this life, she has left the Tianyi Sect and distanced herself from that madwoman; everything is no longer relevant to her. She will soon be going to the human realm, and whatever happens to the main characters then won't endanger her!
At that time, she was probably already living a carefree life on that small island.
After comforting herself, Su Luo truly began to enjoy the rainy scene before her, a smile appearing on her lips.
During the day, the path she was walking on was bustling with people, but now, in the early morning, apart from the gleaming Akashi, only the leaves of the trees on both sides of the road were being pattered by the light rain, making a crisp sound, and occasionally a few wildflowers could be seen stretching their waists in the drizzle.
Before she knew it, the rain seemed to have intensified. Su Luo took a deep breath of the fresh morning air and felt that her mood had returned to normal before turning around and walking back to her residence.
"It's almost dawn, let's go back and get something to eat first."
Suddenly, a yellow bird appeared out of nowhere and chirped at Su Luo, startling her. Before she could react, the bird flew away quickly.
Su Luo wasn't paying attention to her footing and suddenly felt herself kick something. When she looked down, she saw a young man covered in blood lying on the ground, letting the rain drip on him, unconscious.
Su Luo: "..."
I wish I hadn't come out for a stroll.
