  Before her body could hit the ground, two arms caught her from behind.

  “Sister Yun… did I succeed?” Qi Ling had a mournful smile on her lips, and her pale face was drained of color. Her breathing was very weak, as though she would disappear at any moment.

  Yun Luofeng quickly pulled out a stalk of spirit herb from the space to feed it to her. When she consumed the spirit herb, she slowly recovered.

  “Yes, you succeeded. You are no longer a trash.”


  Yun Luofeng’s words did not make Qi Ling happy. She lowered her head and dejectedly said, “If I was old enough back then, I absolutely wouldn’t have let Auntie Yun take a risk. She wouldn’t leave my brother and me then…”


  “Sister, do you know? Besides Brother, Auntie Yun is the one who treats me the best, even better than my mother! A year ago, when my brother and I were kicked out of the Qi Family, Mother stood by the side and watched.” Qi Ling kept her head lowered. “I know she wasn’t strong enough and could not resist against Daddy, but… why didn’t she dare to even say a word? Even a word would have been good enough. Then at least… I wouldn’t feel so bad.”


  She did not hate her mother, nor did she resent her. She merely felt sad that Mother did not dare to say a word because she was timid and looked on helplessly as they left the Qi Estate.

  Even Auntie Yun, who was unrelated to her by blood, was willing to take a risk for her, so why was her mother so weak? Wasn’t there a saying that a woman might be weak but would be unexpectedly strong as a mother? If she had a child in the future, she absolutely wouldn’t let them be bullied!

  “That’s good, I am not a trash anymore. From now on, I can protect Brother! I also need to go to the Forest of Heaven’s Trial to find Auntie Yun.”


  When Qi Ling said her last sentence, her eyes were shining, as though she was a different person. In truth, Yun Luofeng herself did not understand why she had such a good impression of Qi Ling even though she hadn’t known Qi Ling for long. This favorable impression was natural, so she was clueless about the cause.

  “Qi Ling, I injected a lot of spirit energy into you just now. The spirit energy is very pure and has remained inside your body. Absorb it now and it can help you raise your strength.”


  …


  Originally, Yun Luofeng thought that coming here for a month would be enough. Who would have known that three months would have passed by the time Qi Ling finished cultivating.

  In these three months, Yun Luofeng also did not neglect her cultivation and would frequently go find spirit beasts to fight with. This allowed her cultivation to strengthen and stabilize at the god level.

  Of course, Yun Luofeng reaped a bigger reward when she accidentally stumbled into a mountain cave a month ago. She discovered quite a number of corpses in there, and for some unknown reason, their death energy did not dissipate after they died and accumulated inside the cave instead.

  Hence, Yun Luofeng released her skeleton army. After absorbing the death energy, the strength of the skeleton army soared to advanced-rank sage-level and was only a step from god level.

  Although the skeleton army was only at advanced-rank sage-level, Yun Luofeng believed that they would not lose against god level cultivators.

  In addition to the growth of the skeleton army, the power under Yun Luofeng grew quite a bit as well. The gold-seeking hamsters consumed spirit herbs with everything they had over these three months, so they all reached sage level. Milk Tea and Hamster Queen were bordering on a breakthrough and could nearly advance to god level.

  Unfortunately, Huohuo and Chacha hadn’t found a method to raise their strength yet. As for Xiao Mo, he was in no hurry since his strength originated from the God Code Space.
