Chapter 1196: The World was Seriously Filled with Danger
“The souls of the original hosts are back?” asked Ning Shu.
2333 nodded.
Ning Shu was relieved. She walked into the room and when the three saw Ning Shu, they asked, “Where did you go this late in the night?”
“You couldn’t have gone to secretly meet someone, right?” asked another maid scornfully.
Ning Shu didn’t say anything and just lay down on the bed. The bed seemed to carry a cold air after the school doctor uncle sat on it. Her hair was standing on end as she lay on it.
All that filled her mind was the image of the black windbreaker and those glasses lens that flashed with cold white light. It was so cold and indifferent, the twistedness level was serious maxed out…
This little baby was scared!
That night, Ning Shu didn’t sleep well, so when she woke up the next morning, she had a slight headache. When she saw the three maids moving around in front of her, she recalled that the task-takers who had been in their bodies were now gone forever.
She couldn’t help but shiver.
It felt like the world was seriously filled with danger.
Ning Shu was a little depressed. She had been seriously scared last night. She said to 2333, “It suddenly feels kind of meaningless.”
“What meaning do you want to have?” asked 2333 in reply.
“To obtain something, you must give up something. Everyone wants to live forever, not everyone can. Some people cultivate desperately for the sake of becoming immortal, for the sake of becoming strong enough to control their own destiny. There exists no free lunch in the world. You get scared, you feel fear, because you’re not strong enough,” said 2333. “If you want to give up, I can undo the binding between us.”
“What happens to me if you do that?” asked Ning Shu.
2333 said solemnly, “You’ll be eliminated. Your soul origin will cease to exist and the person called Ning Shu will vanish. You will no longer exist in any plane and the heavenly law will contain no information about you.”
Ning Shu forced a laugh. “I was just joking. I was just trying to brighten up the atmosphere.”
“The path of the task-taker is a road of no return. If you try to back out halfway, you’ll only face the fate of being eliminated. You have no choice but to continue climbing up. As long as you’re not eliminated and you don’t die in the task, you’ll possess eternal life.” 2333 asked again, “Do you want to give up?”
2333’s voice was very cold.
Ning Shu took a deep breath. “When did I ever say that I was going to give up? I was just lamenting a little, and you immediately started harping on nonstop.”
2333 had even deliberately intimidated her.
Ning Shu washed up, then went to attend to Lady Song. When she arrived at the courtyard, she found that Lady Song hadn’t even gotten up yet. However, it was almost about time for the ladies in the inner courtyard to pay the primary consort respects.
Wasn’t Lady Song going to pay respects to the primary consort? Can it be that she wanted to rely on the fact that she was pregnant to stop going to wish the primary consort good health?
Ning Shu stood at the door with the basin of water and waited for a good while. It was already quite late. It seemed that Lady Song really wasn’t going to go pay her respects to the primary consort.
This was only the first month of pregnancy, so it wasn’t like she had any difficulty moving. Furthermore, Lady Song was only a concubine. If she kept relying on her pregnancy as an excuse to act unreasonable, it was easy for problems to occur.
It was sure rough to encounter masters like this who were a little confused in the head.
Creak
The door opened and Lady Song’s personal maid, Hong Mei, came out. She glanced at Ning Shu, then took the washbasin from Ning Shu’s hands. She looked towards Ning Shu and said with her lifted chin haughtily, “Go to the primary consort’s courtyard and say that the lady isn’t feeling well. She felt very dizzy when she woke up this morning. Go let the primary consort know and apologize for the fact that the lady won’t be going to pay her respects today. “
Ning Shu ：(ノ*T_T *) ノ┴┴┴┴┴┴┴┴┴┴┴┴┴┴┴┴┴
There was no way she could go do such a cannon fodder thing!
“Big Sis Hong Mei, the servant has to help the lady wash up. How could it possibly be this servant’s place to show her face in front of the ladies?” said Ning Shu carefully.
Hong Mei lifted her chin more. “At least you seem to know your place. Now go. Head to the primary consort’s courtyard to give this report.”
“Hurry and go, otherwise the primary consort will blame the lady,” said Hong Mei as she walked into the room with the basin.
