Chapter 16: She Can Summon Magical Beasts!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After eating, Xiao Muling prepared to continue cultivating in the space.

She still hadn’t figured out how to deal with the matter about Summoning.

Although Xiao Muling was naive in the past, she wasn’t stupid. She had a basic understanding of this world, but she didn’t know the details.

Since she couldn’t cultivate, she rejected cultivation from the inside out. As such, she had little knowledge of these things.

So now, Xiao Muling had to read the book herself.

“Xiao Muling!” A voice suddenly sounded from outside.

Xiao Muling turned around in confusion and frowned. Then, she walked out and saw three people walking into her courtyard.

The leader was a man in his twenties. The two people beside him looked younger.

“Xiao Jian.” She remembered this person; he was from another branch of the Xiao family. He was brought to the Xiao family because of his outstanding talent.

He had liked to follow Xiao Liangxiao since he was young, and he also liked to stand up for her.

Although his surname was Xiao, he wasn’t a true member of the Xiao family; he was merely picked up at a young age. Later on, his talent wasn’t bad, and he stayed behind, so he took up the surname ‘Xiao.’

“Did you bully Xiao’er? You even accused her of killing someone!” Xiao Jian pointed at Xiao Muling. His tone was arrogant as if Xiao Muling was just a servant of the Xiao family.

After seeing his attitude and hearing his tone, Xiao Muling’s eyes turned cold. ‘The news has spread quickly. Just my luck; I just came back for a meal, and Xiao Jian has already come to find me even before Xiao Liangxiao started her punishment.’

Xiao Muling walked over and stared at the finger pointing at her. She let out a bloodthirsty smile and raised her hand to hold his finger.

Power gathered in her hand, and the sound of bones shattering echoed.

“Ah—” The scream echoed in her courtyard, and intense pain assaulted Xiao Jian.

Fingers were connected to the heart, and Xiao Jian fell to his knees in pain.

Xiao Jian truly wasn’t prepared at all. He never thought that Xiao Muling would attack and break his finger!

Xiao Muling watched him coldly and slowly released her grip. She then placed her hands behind her back and stood there with a powerful aura!

The two people who came with Xiao Jian wanted to move forward, but they forgot everything they wanted to do when this aura pressed down on them.

“Xiao Muling, you…”

“Get out!” said Xiao Muling coldly as she looked at him. ‘Do they still think that I’m the Xiao Muling of the past, who allowed them to come to her and act arrogant!?’

A chill ran from the soles of Xiao Jian’s feet to his heart, and his body trembled. When he met Xiao Muling’s gaze, the chill in his heart dispersed into fear. “You, you…”

‘Since when did Xiao Muling have such an imposing manner? Also, my fingers—how can she break my fingers if she can’t cultivate!’ His gaze landed on half of Xiao Muling’s birthmark.

Xiao Jian gritted his teeth and took a step back. “What are you all still standing there for? It’s been too long since I taught her a lesson. She—a useless piece of trash—is treating herself as the Xiao family’s eldest daughter again!”

‘A long time ago, I told her that she was just a piece of trash and that she had no right to be the Xiao family’s eldest daughter. She should behave herself normally! Since she has forgotten, I shall make her remember it now!’

The two people beside Xiao Jian looked at him and swallowed their saliva with difficulty. ‘Is he serious about making a move?’

“Hurry up and attack! She’s a piece of trash, so what are you afraid of?!” Xiao Jian fiercely glared at the two of them!

‘Yes, she’s a piece of trash!’ The two of them seemed to have just realized this. The nervousness on their faces completely disappeared as they took a step forward and looked at Xiao Muling with sneers. “Missy, don’t blame us for being rude.”

“Why must you insist on acting like a young missy? We are simply unable to tolerate this. You are nothing more than trash.” The two of them pulled up their sleeves and gathered their strength.

“Do you remember what we used to do?” The two of them laughed scornfully.

The emotions in Xiao Muling’s eyes turned colder and colder; there was even a hint of murderous intent. ‘If they didn’t mention it, I would’ve forgotten about it!’

Xiao Muling had been bullied by them since she was young. Her father was too busy to watch over her all the time, so they would take this opportunity to bully Xiao Muling.

They would say that Xiao Muling wasn’t fit to be the Xiao family’s eldest daughter and that she was a piece of trash and an ugly freak!

They would even attack Xiao Muling. Without cultivation, Xiao Muling could only be beaten up.

The more Xiao Muling thought about it, the angrier she became!

Every time they attacked Xiao Muling, Xiao Liangxiao would appear. She would then pretend to plead for them so that Xiao Muling wouldn’t bear any grudges.

After that, she became even more miserable in the Xiao family. After all, she was just a useless piece of trash that couldn’t cultivate!

When Xiao Muling heard Xiao Liangxiao’s words, she would feel ashamed of her inferiority and wouldn’t dare to say anything to her father!

Now, it just so happened that they had come knocking on her door!

Xiao Muling watched as they walked over. She stretched out her fingers, and an invisible force gathered in her hands.

At the same time, a white light flashed under her feet, and the sky suddenly darkened.

Storms surged as the power of astral winds swept out!

Before the two of them could reach her, they were pushed back by the strong winds!

The hurricane engulfed them.

Xiao Jian and the others found it difficult to even open their eyes. They tried their best to stabilize their bodies so that they wouldn’t be blown to the ground by the hurricane.

At this moment, a summoning array appeared under Xiao Muling’s feet at the same time as the dark sky’s changes. The summoning array looked mysterious and powerful!

The moment it spread out, a majestic aura extended from the horizon. It was as if thousands of beasts would break through in the next moment!

The man in mid-air stood there and watched as the expression in his eyes changed. Then, he regained his composure.

These changes happened in an instant!

At that moment, a gray figure walked out of the summoning array and streaked across the sky like lightning!

The figure gathered its strength and sent Xiao Jian and the other two flying!

The three of them fell to the ground under the hurricane.

At that moment, the hurricane also stopped as the darkness in the sky dissipated.

The giant shadow steadily landed in front of Xiao Muling, its golden eyes staring at her.

Surprise flashed across Xiao Muling’s eyes when she saw the giant wolf.

Thinking of the summoning array just now, the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox appeared in her mind. Xiao Muling blinked her eyes. ‘It was really summoned by me, but the two summoning arrays seem slightly… different?’

The giant wolf looked at her for a while, then slowly turned to Xiao Jian and the others. It opened its mouth and howled fiercely, revealing its sharp fangs!

Xiao Jian stood up from the ground and was about to fly into a rage when he heard the roar of a beast. Only then did he see the giant figure that appeared!

‘Magical beast!’

‘Magical beast!’

‘Magical beast!’

Xiao Jian looked at Xiao Muling in shock. ‘She summoned it?!’

‘No!’ Xiao Jian immediately denied it! ‘Xiao Muling is a good-for-nothing. She can’t even gather spiritual energy, so how can she possibly summon a magical beast?’

“Xiao Muling, the family leader specially summoned a magical beast to protect you!” Xiao Jian pointed at Xiao Muling and went crazy with jealousy!

This was the most logical explanation he could think of!

“As long as these three don’t die, you can do whatever you want.” As she spoke, Xiao Muling walked to the giant wolf’s side.

The bloodlust in her eyes deepened! ‘Today, they can forget about walking out on their own!’
