Chapter 219 The Demon Within, My Reflection
Within his dantian, a ball of white light, like that of an infant, constantly rose and fell.
The rich spiritual energy flowed into his body and into his dantian, where it was greedily absorbed by the white light.
The spiritual energy from the outside world was almost completely drained, and its body gradually solidified.
A three-inch-tall, plump, white nascent soul opened its eyes, curiously examining itself and sensing the changes.
With her mind focused on her nascent soul, Chu Lengyu seemed to possess another body and a different perspective.
This feeling was very novel, but she didn't have time to savor it. Just as she reached out to summon the Lone Sword, everything went black before her eyes, as if she had fallen into a dream.
"Tch, first in the class, and you only got such a low score?"
Suddenly, a slightly shrill female voice came from beside her, and Chu Lengyu raised her head in confusion.
She was standing at the entrance of her high school.
All sorts of people passed by, and it seemed as if everyone was whispering about her.
"Isn't she very famous? How come she only got such a low score on the college entrance exam? Forget Tsinghua and Peking University, or the Double First-Class universities, she'd be struggling to even get into a top-tier university!"
"I heard that there was an accident during the exam, and he missed one subject."
"Her homeroom teacher is going to be driven crazy by her. She's a top student in the honors class, and now she'll probably have to repeat a year."
"Huh, why did she miss the exam? Was she late?"
Upon hearing this, waves of disappointment, frustration, pain, and anger surged into Chu Lengyu's heart.
She could almost see her homeroom teacher, who had placed high hopes on her, shaking his head and sighing repeatedly.
There were also classmates who were originally behind her, but this time they took her place and wrote their names on the first line, casting seemingly regretful but actually mocking glances at her.
Chu Lengyu looked down; she was holding a phone in her hand, and the screen showed her appearance from her previous life.
She glanced at it, then somewhat awkwardly unlocked the screen. The icons that came into view were all very familiar, quickly triggering her memory.
She glanced at the screenshot of her grades with curiosity and secretly shook her head.
Unexpectedly, the initial simulation of my inner demons was failing the college entrance examination.
The thought of failing the college entrance exam due to an unexpected absence and not getting into a good university made Chu Lengyu's blood pressure rise a little.
But... is this all there is to the tribulation of inner demons? It's far too childish, isn't it? Her heart remained unmoved; she even felt a little like laughing.
Just then, some more people came out of the school gate. They looked familiar to her; they seemed to be her classmates and teachers.
but--
"Sorry, I don't have time to play with you guys."
As Chu Lengyu spoke, she raised her hand and shattered the illusion before her with her sword.
The school scene was like a piece of paper, completely torn apart and scattered like snowflakes.
……
In the blink of an eye, Chu Lengyu found herself sitting gracefully in a pavilion, draped in silk and adorned with pearls and jade.
She took her time, picked up the tea on the table, and sipped it. It was slightly bitter, not the kind she preferred.
At this moment, Lüyun came in carrying a tray. Seeing her drinking tea, she quickly stepped forward, put down the tray, and whispered, "Madam, pregnant women shouldn't drink tea. How could you forget again?"
Chu Lengyu almost choked on her tea.
She felt as if thunder was rolling in her heart, not a tribulation of lightning, but more like a tribulation of lightning.
"This illusion of inner demons has too many flaws. It's so easy to see through it at a glance. Is it deliberately designed to make me let my guard down?" Chu Lengyu muttered to herself.
Green Bamboo had already taken away the teacups and instead brought over a bowl of medicinal soup, saying, "Madam, it's time to drink your medicine."
Chu Lengyu waved her hand, indicating that the illusion had ended.
……
The scene changes again.
She curled up on the ground, feeling pain all over her body.
Chu Wen'er stood in front of her, still with that imperious air, surrounded by several strong women and guards.
A ball of light floated between the two, emitting a familiar system notification sound.
[This system has made a mistake; Miss Chu Wen'er is the true host.]
"Did you hear that, Chu Lengyu!" Chu Wen'er said smugly.
"Oh, then get lost," she replied calmly, dusting herself off and standing up.
……
Immediately afterwards, she appeared on a battlefield.
The demon chuckled sinisterly: "You think you can really get rid of me, mere natives?"
He spread his arms wide, laughed wildly to the sky, and countless passages opened up behind him, from which demons flew out, blotting out the sun.
The girl in white, cold as ice, pointed her sword at him without fear: "I can kill you once, and I can kill you countless times!"
……
In the quiet room, Chu Lengyu opened her eyes wearily.
Someone nearby said kindly, "Junior sister, let's go. Today's sect competition is going to be a rare and exciting event."
She subconsciously picked up the Lone Sword beside her, recognized the person in front of her as Ji Lingchuan, and her guard dropped a bit. She asked in a daze, "Sect Grand Competition?"
"Yes, Junior Sister has successfully formed her Nascent Soul and has been promoted to sect elder. She can now take on disciples," Ji Lingchuan said gently. "Go and see, perhaps someone will catch her eye?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Lengyu's memories gradually returned, and she laughed, "Come on, them..."
She paused for a moment, then became somewhat confused, and blurted out, "A bunch of idiots. When I was the chief cultivator in the Golden Core stage, I had to clean up their messes countless times."
Even so, she still followed Ji Lingchuan outside.
The door was closed, leaving only an antique bronze lamp on the table, its flame flickering gently.
