Chapter 3701: Soul-Nourishing Fruit
Ning Shu then gathered over 200,000 faith points just from Shu Bai's restaurant. After that, she strolled through the entire City of Water and kept collecting taxes.
Adding everything up, Ning Shu figured she should have nearly two million faith points and over a million merit points. Oh my, Ning Shu laughed with her hands on her hips.
Her purse was full again. Things couldn't be any better.
Even though she spent money like water, she had resources.
I'm smiling triumphantly, I'm smiling triumphantly.
Ning Shu put her hands behind her back and marched toward the silver-haired man's consultation room with a high step.
Ning Shu curled her lips. She wondered what excuse the silver-haired man would use to evade taxes this time.
Upon arriving at the consultation room, Ning Shu lifted her foot and stepped over the threshold, only to see two people sitting inside. One was the silver-haired man with his waist-length silver hair, and the other was Tai Shu in his black trench coat.
The smug expression on Ning Shu's face instantly stiffened. Her body petrified, and her hair stood on end. Even in her soul state, Ning Shu felt waves of chills shoot up from the soles of her feet to the back of her head.
An extreme sense of danger flooded her brain. Tai Shu looked at Ning Shu indifferently and reached for his waist.
Run!
Seeing Tai Shu reach for the gun at his waist, Ning Shu didn't even think. She instantly teleported outside the City of Water. After all, she was the embodiment of the water ordinance. Once outside the City of Water, Ning Shu shrieked sharply to 2333, "Return to the system space! Return to the system space!"
Ning Shu's head spun. When she returned to the system space, she immediately slumped onto the floor.
Even though she was in a soul state, Ning Shu simply didn't have the strength to crawl up.
That scared her to death. It really scared her to death. Ning Shu suddenly felt like crying. When would these miserable days ever end? She had to hide from the adjudicator every single day.
She just went to collect taxes. Why was Tai Shu there? How could it be such a coincidence that he was at the silver-haired man's place?
Ning Shu even suspected that the silver-haired man didn't want to pay his taxes, which was why he called the adjudicator over.
Whenever she saw the adjudicator now, it was like a mouse seeing a cat. If she didn't hide quickly, she would be done for.
Just for a little bit of tax, the silver-haired man made such a huge fuss?
Were these people really that free?
They were probably discussing some important matter and she just happened to stumble upon them. She really had terrible luck.
Every tax collection attempt ended in failure, which really frustrated Ning Shu.
There were always unruly subjects delaying her taxes.
Damn it. Once she constructed her world, she would see what these people could do to her.
Ning Shu climbed onto the sofa and let out a long sigh. She felt stifled and terrified.
Right when she was about to collect taxes, those two were secretly huddled together. Who knew what kind of shady business they were up to.
That silver-haired guy was just a pixiu without an asshole. He only took things in and never let anything out.
He tried every possible way to evade taxes.
Damn it. I'll deal with you sooner or later.
Ning Shu couldn't quite calm down. She simply took out some agarwood and lit it, then sat cross-legged on the sofa and silently recited the heart-clearing mantra. This would help soothe her agitated mood.
This big sister received quite a shock.
How terrifying!
Right, didn't she have a black hole at the time? She could have hidden inside the black hole in an instant. Why didn't she think of that?
Yeah, she was just too scared!
An elegant fragrance wafted from the incense burner. Breathing it in made one feel delighted. Ning Shu slightly recovered from her previous panic.
It was like she had picked up another life.
Motherfucker. To think she would encounter such a situation. It seemed she would have to behave herself from now on and stop running around carelessly.
But what about the silver-haired man's taxes? Ning Shu's heart was full of curses.
She kept feeling that the stingy silver-haired man was definitely capable of doing such a thing. What a treacherous merchant.
Ning Shu irritably brushed her hair. She had been so happy today, but then this happened. It always made her unhappy. In the future, she would absolutely make sure they wouldn't be happy either.
The frightened Ning Shu decided to take a nap. She didn't want to do any tasks for the time being. No amount of taxes could compensate for her traumatized heart. If this kind of situation happened again, her liver would definitely explode from the stress.
It was too freaking thrilling.
Under the effects of the agarwood, Ning Shu curled up on the sofa and fell sound asleep. However, her brows were furrowed, and she didn't sleep very peacefully. When Ning Shu finally opened her eyes, she could only heave a heavy sigh.
Damn it, she had to do something to alleviate this fearful and stifled feeling in her heart.
Ning Shu pointed her finger, and a black hole appeared in front of her. She stepped into the black hole. The black hole retracted, and Ning Shu vanished.
Ning Shu inspected her reincarnation world. This world was still pitch-black and completely empty, save for Mount Jiugong standing tall within it.
Ning Shu entered Mount Jiugong. There were souls inside the mountain, but she didn't know if these souls could come out.
Ning Shu reached out and touched Mount Jiugong. As a result, a suction force pulled her straight inside.
Ning Shu fell into a daze for a moment. When she opened her eyes, she found herself standing in a plaza.
This space was more like a massive world, complete with a city.
People walked past her. All of these people were in a soul state, and the soul toughness of some of them was almost catching up to hers.
So, were these people all souls from inside Mount Jiugong?
She’d heard that Mount Jiugong was used by an ancient Divine Dao sect in a cultivation world to test their disciples, but this place seemed more like a real world.
Badass!
Many people revealed looks of astonishment when they saw Ning Shu. They whispered among themselves, "Mount Jiugong hasn't seen a fresh soul in a very long time. How did this person get in?"
However, these people didn't rashly attack Ning Shu.
"Is anyone going to the Wind Gorge? Let's team up and go together." A shout rang out across the plaza.
"I'm not going to the Wind Gorge. The wind in that place hurts to death when it blows against you. The wind blades can chop right through a soul."
"I want to go but I don't dare to. The soul-nourishing fruit that grows in the Wind Gorge is too tempting. I really want to go to the second level, but I just can't do it," another person said.
Ning Shu blinked. Could it be that Mount Jiugong had already formed its own ecological chain? These people who had been trapped in Mount Jiugong all along had banded together to form various social classes.
Furthermore, Ning Shu saw that this world not only had souls but also people. People with physical bodies. Souls and living people lived together like this.
These people with bodies could definitely reproduce, ensuring that the population of the entire Mount Jiugong was quite large.
The entirety of Mount Jiugong was made up of individual worlds.
Ning Shu couldn't help but marvel. It seemed that this Mount Jiugong really wasn't simple.
"Are you going to the Wind Gorge?" A person came up to Ning Shu. "If we pick any soul-nourishing fruit, we'll split it equally."
Uh, Ning Shu didn't quite understand what this soul-nourishing fruit was used for, so she asked, "What effect does this soul-nourishing fruit have?"
This man was wearing a long robe, giving off a very archaic vibe. He was likely an ancient cultivator from a cultivation world.
"You really don't know the effects of the soul-nourishing fruit."
Even a three-year-old child should know about this kind of thing, right?
"The effect of the soul-nourishing fruit is that it can strengthen the soul. However, it grows in the Wind Gorge, which is full of wind blades. The wind blades cause tremendous damage to souls, so the soul-nourishing fruit is extremely precious."
Even though the man was surprised that Ning Shu didn't know the effects of the soul-nourishing fruit, he still explained it to her.
