Shi Sheng waited for Chu Yunling to fall asleep before standing by the window and looking at the night sky outside. Shi Sheng took out the jade scroll that Mu Bai had given her.
She had no idea where Mu Bai got it from, but it could only be activated by injecting spiritual energy.
Most importantly …
There was no spiritual energy in this world, how could she lose!
Damn that retarded Mu Bai, his brain must have been bitten off by the Undead King.
Shi Sheng cursed Mu Bai's ancestors and threw the jade scroll back.
"Is it here?"
"It's here … shh, be careful."
Shi Sheng was about to leave the window when she suddenly saw a black shadow flashing by outside, heading toward the house next door.
The place she lived in was not considered remote. The people who lived here were all people of status in Song Willow City. Of course, thieves often visited this place.
Shi Sheng ignored them when she saw that they were not coming for her.
However, not long after, she heard the sound of fighting outside, followed by the sound of the undead moving and rubbing against each other.
She was in the city, where did the undead come from?
When a city was being built, the ground was enchanted by the Magicians to ensure that the undead would not be able to enter the city from underground.
Shi Sheng pushed open the window and looked in the direction of the sound. She saw several undead next door attacking two figures. They were different from the white skeletons she had seen before. These undead were pitch-black, and even the soulfire in their heads was black.
Their attack speed was also much faster than other undead.
A word flashed across Shi Sheng's mind — Refining.
Some Dark Necromancers used special methods to refine the undead, turning them into their puppets. However, this method was harmful to the Magician, so not many people would use it.
"Ah —"
A black undead kicked one of the figures flying. One of his arms was torn off, dripping with blood.
The other person was terrified when he saw this. He immediately ran back, but the black undead was even faster. It stopped the person in the blink of an eye and did the same thing, making him follow in the footsteps of the person in front of him.
The black undead quickly dragged the corpse and jumped into the courtyard. The surroundings returned to silence.
Shi Sheng was speechless. He felt like he was watching a fake show.
After watching the fake show, Shi Sheng didn't hear anything else that night.
…
"Sister …" Chu Yunling stood in front of the Shi Sheng, dressed neatly. Her little face was still so thin, but her eyes were much more energetic than before.
"Let's go."
Chu Yunling nodded and followed Shi Sheng obediently.
She didn't understand some of the things that Shi Sheng said, but she knew that this older sister wouldn't hurt her.
After walking out of the door, Shi Sheng subconsciously looked at the room next door.
Coincidentally, the door next door opened, and a Mage came out from inside. He looked around vigilantly and saw Shi Sheng looking at him. He hesitated for a moment, then closed the door and walked in another direction.
Shi Sheng raised his eyebrows. That sorcerer should be a refined undead.
The Mages were all wearing the same kind of robes. If the undead had not taken off their hoods, no one would have noticed them …
Shi Sheng suddenly felt a little scared. There must be more than one undead in the city.
Advanced undead were very smart creatures.
So why did these Mages wrap themselves up like dumplings?
He couldn't understand how their minds worked.
Shi Sheng held Chu Yunling's hand as they walked on the street. The street was not very crowded. Chu Yunling looked around curiously. She had never been out before, so everything she saw was new to her.
Shi Sheng's destination was the biggest magic staff shop in the city.
The magic staff shop sold magic staffs. Every Mage needed a magic staff, so the process of making a magic staff was similar. The only thing they needed to buy was the materials and the shape of the magic staff.
After the Mages bought the magic staff, they needed to find a powerful undead soul to refine it and merge it with the magic staff. Only then would the magic staff be considered complete.
"Miss, who are you looking for?" A waiter came up to them as soon as Shi Sheng entered the shop.
Shi Sheng glanced at Chu Yunling.
"This kid?" The waiter was a little surprised, "She's not even five years old yet, right?"
Normally, children would only start learning when they were five years old. If they hadn't become a Mage by the age of ten, they would have no hope of becoming a Mage in their lifetime.
"You don't have one?"
"I do, but she's too young …" The waiter was in a difficult position. A kid at such a young age couldn't even hold a magic staff properly.
"Bring it over if you have one."
The waiter knew he was here to sell things, so he would obviously follow the customer's request. He asked Shi Sheng to wait for a moment before he went to the back to get the magic staff.
There were other people in the shop. As soon as the waiter left, a Mage who was looking at the magic staff on the other side came over, "Master Wei Xian, it's an honor to meet you. I've only heard of your name before, but I didn't expect to meet you in person."
Shi Sheng cast a sidelong glance at him before speaking indifferently, "Then you're really lucky."
The Mage was speechless. He had seen shameless people before, but he had never seen someone as shameless as him!
Did he even know how to write the word 'humble'!?
"Ahem … Master Wei Xian, are you buying a magic staff for this kid?" So this was her master's child. She was so small and skinny … but they looked similar. "She's still so young. Can she even use the magic staff you're buying for her? She doesn't even know how to refine soul fire … "
Although this person's words sounded very polite, his tone sounded a little malicious.
Chu Yunling did not like him. She shrunk behind Shi Sheng, only revealing a pair of watery eyes to look at him.
"It's none of your business whether she can use it or not. Can't I buy it for her to beat a dog to play with?" She would not be polite to someone who came to ask for a scolding.
Beat a dog?
Even a normal magic staff was very expensive …
"Master Wei Xian is really rich." The Mage laughed dryly. His black hood was facing Chu Yunling, as if he was sizing her up as if she was an item.
Shi Sheng leaned to the side, blocking the Mage's view, "She's richer than you."
The Mage was speechless. If he did not know he could not beat her, he would definitely rush up and kill her.
Judging from her tone, she was so rich!
The Mage did not say anything when he saw the waiter coming out. He wanted to see what the kid was capable of. She was Chu Qiong's daughter. That man was once known as the genius Mage of the Undead World. Although he went astray and became a Dark Mage, the word 'genius' had never left him.
His daughter … Hmph!
The waiter carried a few boxes and put them away one by one. "Miss, these are the magic staffs most suitable for children in our shop, but … they are not suitable for this little girl. Please take a look first."
He opened the boxes. The magic staffs used by children were usually made of wood, so they were relatively light.
The magic staffs were similar, but there were some differences in their shapes.
Shi Sheng carried Chu Yunling up and let her choose.
Chu Yunling's little hand touched the magic staffs, and finally landed on the innermost one.
