1359 What's the Matter?
"Haste makes waste. If you force yourself too much, you might end up ruining things," Instructor Number One reminded her.
"I know. Every decision I make now isn't just for myself. I won't be rash." Ling Lan turned around. Her gaze was sharp but clear. She didn't lose her sense of propriety because of her concern.
Instructor Number One lowered his eyes. The praise and satisfaction in his eyes disappeared. He only said, "Go."
Ling Lan stepped forward decisively. In the blink of an eye, she left the learning space.
"Ling Lan, if you want to wear the crown, you have to bear its weight. This is the path you've chosen. No matter what, you have to walk it with determination." Instructor Number One said this sentence softly. In the next second, he cut through space and returned to his own area. He sat down and started cultivating again.
Ling Lan returned to her mindspace. Her mindspace was still dry and desolate.
"I can't go on like this. I have to think of a way to recover my spiritual power." Ling Lan took a deep breath and sat down quietly. Even though she knew that using her spiritual power to cultivate would bring her immense pain, she had to persevere.
As expected, the moment she used her spiritual power, Ling Lan's head felt like it was being hit by an invisible hammer. It was extremely painful. The pain came from her brain. She really wanted to knock herself out.
However, that was impossible. Ling Lan gritted her teeth. She endured the inhuman pain and forced herself to condense a wisp of spiritual power that couldn't be any thinner.
This was all thanks to Ling Lan's two lifetimes of self-torture. If it was someone else, they would definitely have fainted from the pain and failed.
Ling Lan commanded the spiritual power that was about to dissipate. She used the Divine Command sect's spiritual power cultivation method to slowly nourish and cultivate it. Over and over again. Every time she circulated the spiritual power, Ling Lan's pain increased. She gritted her teeth so hard that she felt like they were going to break. Perhaps because she was biting too hard, her gums cracked. Her mouth was instantly filled with the taste of blood.
Ling Lan couldn't care less about these things. She tried her best to keep her consciousness clear so that she wouldn't lose to the pain that struck her soul. Just like that, one hour passed, two hours passed... Ling Lan's perseverance finally paid off. Spiritual spring water began to emerge from the dried-up shores of the mindspace, slowly nourishing the dried up ground. As more and more spiritual spring water appeared, Ling Lan's face, which had been contorted in pain due to the intense pain, slowly regained its calm.
The biggest hurdle had been overcome!
Ling Lan slowly opened her eyes, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
If it wasn't for her father, Xie Yi, and Little Four, Floret, waiting for her to save them, perhaps she wouldn't be so cruel to herself. As expected, people were forced to be like this.
However, Ling Lan remembered Instructor Number One's warning. More haste, less speed. It was the same for spiritual power cultivation. There was a balance between tension and relaxation. Ling Lan decided to temporarily stop her cultivation and return to the rainbow palace to see what had happened in the past few days.
Seeing Ling Lan opening her eyes, Little White, who had been guarding her, instantly chirped happily.
Although it knew that its master was cultivating, it was still traumatized from the past few days. It was afraid that its master wouldn't react for a few more days.
Ling Lan smiled and hugged Little White. She didn't mind Little White's dirty and messy fur as she rubbed her face against it.
Then, the surface of the swamp opened up again and Ling Lan slowly emerged from it.
The swamp was still the same swamp that was filled with 'reeds'. It seemed like nothing big had happened. Ling Lan was suspended in mid-air. In the next second, she disappeared.
When she returned to the rainbow palace, she saw the servants guarding the palace. When they saw her, they were elated. "Lord Gen, Guardian Ji and Guardian Yu have something to report."
"Oh?" Ling Lan raised her eyebrows. These two people were sent out by her to take care of the matters in Lord Gen's territory. It would take at least 10 days if not half a month. Why did they come back so quickly?
"Yes, ask them to wait for me in the main hall," Ling Lan ordered. No matter what, she would see them first.
"Yes, Lord Gen." The servants left respectfully and went to summon Ji Ming and Yu Shangfei into the main hall.
Ling Lan casually washed up and put on the new red robe that the servant had made for her.
Just as she was about to go to the main hall, Ling Lan thought of something. She asked Little White, who had also washed up, "Little White, how many days have I been cultivating in the swamp?"
Little White fiddled with its little tentacles and replied, "Seven days, Master."
Seven days had passed unknowingly. It seemed like Ji Ming and Yu Shangfei didn't come back too early.
Ling Lan flashed and arrived at the main hall. She flung her red robe slightly and descended from the sky, sitting on her ice chair.
Her cold and handsome face paired with the eye-catching red robe made Ling Lan, who usually had short black hair, look breathtakingly beautiful. Ji Ming and Yu Shangfei, who were waiting in the main hall, were stunned.
This was the first time they saw Ling Lan's face clearly. However, this was the only chance they had. In the next second, when they looked at Ling Lan again, they couldn't see her face clearly anymore.
However, that unparalleled beauty was etched deeply in their minds. They would never forget it.
The two of them suppressed the shock in their hearts and bowed respectfully. "Welcome, Lord Gen."
"What's the matter?" Ling Lan sat down. Little White jumped into Ling Lan's arms agilely. Everyone in the rainbow palace knew that the new Lord Gen had a very cute pet. Lord Gen loved it very much. Of course, everyone in the rainbow palace liked it very much. They would feed Little White things from time to time and Little White didn't reject any of them. Ling Lan didn't care about it. With Little White's iron stomach, if anyone wanted to harm it with food … it would be a waste of effort.
The new Lord Gen had always been concise. Although Ji Ming and Yu Shangfei had only met Ling Lan three or four times, they understood their new master's style.
"The people in charge of Jiemu, Flying Moth Locust, and Tianping under my territory want to see Lord Gen," Ji Ming replied hurriedly.
"Why?" Ling Lan raised her eyebrows.
Ji Ming and Yu Shangfei exchanged glances. Yu Shangfei took a big step forward and knelt down. "It's all my fault. I drank too much at the banquet hosted by the person in charge of Jiemu. I accidentally said something about Lord Gen. Please punish me."
Ling Lan's hand that was caressing Little White stopped. Ji Ming and Yu Shangfei felt a cold glare piercing through them. Ji Ming shuddered and knelt down with a thud. Yu Shangfei knelt down with his hands on the ground. He didn't dare to look at Ling Lan's eyes.
"What did you say?" Just as the two of them couldn't withstand the pressure from Ling Lan anymore, Ling Lan finally spoke.
"I only said that Lord Gen is more powerful than before. That's all." Cold sweat dripped from Yu Shangfei's forehead onto the marble floor. Soon, a puddle of sweat formed on his forehead. This was just a casual pressure from Lord Gen. If Lord Gen really got angry, Yu Shangfei didn't know how he would die.
"Ji Ming, you know how to punish them. I don't need to say more, right?" Ling Lan glanced at Ji Ming coldly. Ji Ming hurriedly nodded. "Yes, Lord Gen."
"Also, tell them to meet me here three days later." After Ling Lan finished speaking, she disappeared from sight.
PS: I have something to do tonight. That's all for today. I have to attend the wedding banquet tomorrow so I might not be able to update. Just a reminder. However, as long as I'm not tired, I will update when I have time. It's just that I'm not sure yet.
