Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

Afternoon.

Just after finishing lunch, I returned to the courtyard.

There I saw Xiao Emei, standing gracefully like an orchid in a secluded valley.

"Sir!"

Seeing Jiang Ning stride over, Xiao Emei instantly became respectful.

Not long ago, she had witnessed Jiang Ning's abilities firsthand.

His inner breath like an abyss, possessing the skills of over a Jiazi.

This made Xiao Emei more convinced of her earlier suspicions.

A being that has transformed from God to man.

If it were not so, how could he display such incredible feats?

Jiang Ning said, "Do you know why I've summoned you?"

"I have some guesses!" Xiao Emei nodded, "You want me to watch over Yu Junior Sister."

"Correct!" Jiang Ning nodded and continued, "I need you to keep a close watch on Yu Manyun and ensure she has no chance to harm my family!"

"Understood!" Xiao Emei instantly responded, saluting, "Rest assured, sir. Even if Yu Junior Sister has any such thoughts, I will never allow her the opportunity! If necessary, I do not mind taking drastic measures against my kin!!"

Seeing this, Jiang Ning nodded.

"Open your mouth!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Emei's eyes lit up with joy, and she slightly parted her red lips.

The next moment.

Three drops of blood flew into Xiao Emei's mouth.

As soon as they touched her throat, the blood melted rapidly, like snow touching a human body.

"Well done, you shall be well rewarded in the future!"

"Eternal youth, ageless beauty, reaching the ranks of the Immortals is not impossible!"

Jiang Ning said calmly.

He still remembered the night he subjugated Xiao Emei, she mentioned something like this.

She had heard that gods have the ability to control their followers.

So at this moment, Jiang Ning decided to paint a grand picture for her, based on her previous speculation.

Whether Xiao Emei believed it or not was beyond his control.

But for him, it was nothing more than the effort of saying a few words.

Meanwhile.

These words entered Xiao Emei's ears, and joy flashed in her eyes.

She had felt before that Jiang Ning was not an ordinary person.

Because an average person could hardly reach this stage at his age, let alone have blood with such miraculous effects.

Just a few drops of blood could greatly enhance her physical body and also control her life and death.

The next moment.

Xiao Emei lost her ability to think.

Because as the blood entered her body and began to take effect, she immediately felt changes in her body, and the temperature started to rise rapidly.

"Splash——"

Xiao Emei hesitated for only a moment before leaping into the lake.

The icy lake water wrapped around her, instantly making her feel her body temperature drop.

Just a moment later.

"Splash——"

With the sound of water, Xiao Emei emerged her head from the lake.

She reached up to untie her hair, shaking her head to let her wet hair spread out.

At this time, as her upper body emerged, her wet clothes clung tightly to her skin.

Being a martial artist, one does not wear much, especially a Fifth Grade Internal Strength realm expert like Xiao Emei, who is nearly immune to cold and heat; she wears even less in warm weather, similar to ordinary people in summer.

At this moment.

Xiao Emei's wet clothes highlighted her exquisite and shapely figure.

Xiao Emei noticed Jiang Ning's downward gaze, and she proudly lifted her head and chest.

The next moment.

She heard Jiang Ning's voice in her ear.

"Once you've digested it, return as soon as possible!"

Leaving these words, Jiang Ning turned and walked out of the courtyard.

...

Arriving at the southern courtyard.

"Uncle!!" Little Dumpling saw Jiang Ning and immediately rushed over.

Looking at the adorable Little Dumpling.

Jiang Ning couldn't help but smile, ruffling Little Dumpling's head, then crouched down.

"Has Little Dumpling been good today?"

"Little Dumpling has always been good!!"

Seeing the small girl in front lift her head slightly with a prideful expression, Jiang Ning chuckled softly.

Then he pinched her chubby cheeks.

His glance then swept over to see the old turtle lying on the sand in the yard.

Next to it was the little sand house Little Dumpling had just built.

"Uncle, can you play with Little Dumpling?" Jiang Yuanyuan looked up at Jiang Ning with hopeful eyes.

Hearing this, Jiang Ning patted Little Dumpling's head.

"Uncle has something to do and will be going out later!"

"Oh, alright!" Little Dumpling's head lowered, her lips slightly pouting.

The next moment.

She bounced in place, pretending to be cheerful, and raised her voice.

"Little Dumpling can play by herself, and there are little ants and little goldfish to play with her!!"

Jiang Ning gently patted Little Dumpling's head, then stood up and walked over to the sand.

With the tip of his foot nudging, the old turtle was flipped and rolled around a few times.

"M-Master!" The old turtle opened its eyes, and upon seeing Jiang Ning, it quickly spoke.

Jiang Ning crouched down and extended his finger.

"Bite down, absorb as much as you can!"

Upon hearing this, the old turtle's eyes lit up with joy and it immediately bit down.

Soon after, it felt that with a little effort, Jiang Ning's finger was bitten open, and a sweet, metallic taste spread in its mouth.

Strands of blood flowed into the old turtle's body.

After several breaths.

The old turtle looked up at Jiang Ning.

"Continue!" Jiang Ning said.

Hearing this, the old turtle continued to absorb the blood from Jiang Ning's finger.

After a while.

Jiang Ning exerted a tiny bit of force with his finger, and the old turtle released its grip.

"I need to go out for a while, protect my family well. I won't mistreat you and will ensure you reach the rank of a Great Demon or even a Demon King!!"

"Thank you, Master!!" The old turtle was instantly filled with excitement.

It did not doubt Jiang Ning's words.

After all, by absorbing and refining Jiang Ning's blood, it could enhance its Dao.
