Chapter 194 - Frog in the Well
Shen Mengqi said, “Thank you for not being calculative with my brother and sparing his life.”
Su Zimo replied, “Thank you for your reminder back then. Take that as a favor paid.”
Upon seeing this, everyone from the Su family felt emotional.
They watched Su Zimo and Shen Mengqi grow up together.
The two of them were once childhood sweethearts. After seeing one another four years later, there was no joyful reunion nor deliberate avoidance – it was merely a polite exchange of indifferent thanks.
Of course, Shen Mengqi was the only one who understood the meaning of their conversation. Everyone else was confused and did not know what was going on.
Before they parted four years ago, Shen Mengqi caught up with Su Zimo and said something.
Among it, she said, “Zhou Dingyun and I will be leaving Ping Yang Town with the Perfected Being tomorrow…”
Upon hearing that, Demoness Ji could no longer contain her laughter and interrupted Shen Mengqi.
“What are you laughing at?” Shen Mengqi asked coldly.
Demoness Ji ignored her and looked around as though she was looking for something, muttering, “Huh? I thought I heard a frog in the well croaking. How annoying!”
Shen Mengqi’s face darkened. She placed her hand on her storage bag and remarked icily, “Who are you calling a frog in the well?”
Noticing Shen Mengqi’s movement, Demoness Ji smiled. “So be it if someone’s a frog in a well. What’s worse is that she’s a self-righteous frog, boasting to others about how much of the sky she can see. What a joke.”
“Alright!”
Shen Mengqi harrumphed coldly. “Let me show you the methods of a frog in the well!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Mengqi used her left hand to conjure a seal and slapped her storage bag with her right, causing a flying sword to land in her palm.
Boom!
A rumble echoed from within Shen Mengqi.
Right after, a meridian shone brightly like a divine dragon, roaring in Shen Mengqi’s body and emitting a rich spirit qi!
One of the eight meridians!
The Spirit Peering Art could only determine if a cultivator was at perfected Foundation Establishment, but it could not detect how many meridians they have unlocked.
The more meridians that were unlocked, the more spirit energy they had and the stronger they were.
It was obvious that Shen Mengqi had unlocked a spirit meridian.
Swash!
The moment Shen Mengqi made her move, a pink figure flashed and appeared in front of her.
Demoness Ji stuck out her left hand and grabbed the meridian on Shen Mengqi’s left wrist with lightning speed.
Instantly, Shen Mengqi’s expression changed. Her left arm turned numb and the spirit energy in her meridian turned sluggish, unable to circulate at all!
The next moment, she felt her neck turn cold, prickling in pain as a cold air entered her body.
Shen Mengqi’s face looked extremely terrible, not daring to move as she froze on the spot.
Demoness Ji leaned over and smiled. “Don’t doubt it when I say that you’re a frog in the well. If someone like you were to enter the ancient battlefield, the only thing that awaits you is death!”
