Chapter 3017: Yu Liuli Was Dead

Ning Shu wasn’t worried that the Yu family would come after her for killing Yu Liuli. After all, Yu Xiongfeng had once considered taking Yu Liuli’s life himself.

Now that Yu Liuli was dead, it was probably a relief for Yu Xiongfeng.

Yu Liuli was essentially a ticking time bomb. She held a grudge against the Yu family, so the stronger she grew, the greater the danger she posed.

Hence, Yu Xiongfeng definitely wouldn’t give her any trouble.

And with her current strength, Yu Xiongfeng would have to think twice before seeking vengeance anyway.

Yu Liuli’s body was buried by Yu Xiongfeng, but not before leaving it in the residence for several days.

When Ning Shu saw the corpse develop livor mortis and begin to emit the stench of decay, she confirmed that no one could possess or reincarnate into this body anymore. Only then did she allow Yu Xiongfeng to bury it.

Ning Shu said to Yu Xiongfeng, “I’m leaving the Yu residence. If there are any pills you want me to refine, let me know. After this, I likely won’t return.”

“Thank you, Sir,” Yu Xiongfeng hurriedly said while cupping his fist.

Wherever there was spiritual energy, extraordinary things could be nurtured.

It was just like how those spirit essence crystals had been able to give rise to a being like that kelp.

But those creatures would only have strength without brains.

Yu Xiongfeng quickly gathered the materials needed for refining pills. Ning Shu helped him refine the pills and then transformed into a vibrant green bird, ready to leave.

“Sir!” Yu Linglong, clutching her skirt, ran over while gasping for breath. She looked up at Ning Shu, who was flying in the air.

Ning Shu flapped her wings and landed on a tree branch, tilting her head to look at Yu Linglong. “What’s the matter?”

“Sir, will you come back?” Yu Linglong looked up at Ning Shu.

Ning Shu couldn’t help but follow her instincts, using her sharp beak to preen her feathers. “I don’t know. Maybe I will, maybe I won’t.”

“Then Linglong will wait for you to return,” Yu Linglong said with her head raised.

The sunlight fell on her face as she looked up at the bird in the tree.

Ning Shu said bluntly, “There’s no need to wait for me. I may never return. Just live your life well.”

With a flutter of her wings, Ning Shu flew off.

Yu Linglong looked disheartened as she stared at Ning Shu disappearing into the distance.

Ning Shu decided to explore areas in this world where rare heavenly materials and treasures might appear.

After leaving the city, Ning Shu returned to her human form. Occasionally she would ask people for information or listen to gossip.

Blindly searching wouldn’t yield results. Perhaps a world origin was hidden in someone’s possession.

No one knew what world origins even looked like.

However, they were said to contain immense power.

For example, the wood-attribute world origin had unparalleled vitality, capable of sustaining plants in places devoid of sunlight or water.

The fire-attribute world origin could burn endlessly, never extinguishing.

As for the gold, earth, and water world origins–how they manifested was unclear.

Was the water-attribute world origin in water?

Who knew?

Ning Shu had traveled far and wide, coming across countless treasures of nature, yet she didn’t bother to harvest them.

She decided to let them grow. The longer these treasures matured, the more valuable they would become. Harvesting them now would be meaningless.

Aside from the world origin, none of these treasures caught Ning Shu’s interest–they were pretty useless to her right now.

What mattered most to her now was constructing her own world.

Everything else could wait. No–what mattered most right now was completing the three linked tasks and entering the space where she could comprehend the ordinances.

Ning Shu said to 2333, “As I pass through each area, examine carefully to see if a world origin is here.”

2333 replied, “This is a chain task. Once you complete it, you’ll be forced out of this world. Do you intend to stay, or will you move on to the next task?”

“I’ll wait for now.”
