Chapter 22  : Life and Death Crisis

“A ten-year-old girl.”

Cheng Yang’s answer disappointed King.

He was wondering if Xiao Ying, whom Cheng Yang had asked him to investigate, was that person.

However, the girl was only ten years old, so she was definitely not the one.

“Master Cheng, can I meet her?”

Cheng Yang was amused. He knew how arrogant King was.

He had indeed been seduced by Xiao Ying so quickly.

For some reason, Cheng Yang didn’t reply to King’s question.

He suddenly did not want others to discover the uniqueness of Xiao Ying.

In the middle of the night, Xiao Ying chose to take the intermediate stock trading course.

This time, she no longer panicked when her soul left her body.

She came to her sea of consciousness and looked at the amulet in the middle.

It still looked like a ball of light, as if nothing had changed.

However, she felt that she seemed to be able to see something a little more clearly.

A warm and intimate feeling welled up in her heart.

At the same time, there seemed to be a blurry shadow in front of her.

She could not see who she was. She only knew that she was very familiar with her aura.

She opened her eyes wide and tried to see clearly, but she could not break through the fog in front of her.

When the shadow in front of her disappeared, her consciousness returned.

Reaching out, she realized that she had just been crying.

This was the first time Xiao Ying found out that a spiritual body could cry.

Following the departure of that blurry shadow, the emotions in her heart also continuously faded.

After a while, she could not even remember what happened when she saw the shadow.

“Amulet, why haven’t the lessons started yet?”

In her sea of consciousness, Xiao Ying could finally speak to the amulet with ease.

The amulet seemed to pause, as if wondering, too, why the course had not yet begun.

After a moment, the usual mechanical voice sounded again.

“Master, we’ll begin immediately.”

The moment the amulet finished speaking, a familiar warmth seeped into Xiao Ying’s body.

Slowly, this power became scorching hot.

It was even hotter than last time. Xiao Ying even felt like she was roasting over a firepit.

After the reminder from the amulet last time, Xiao Ying was already mentally prepared. However, she still cried out miserably from the heat.

After a long time, she was wondering when it would end.

At this temperature, she did not know if she could last until the end.

The current Xiao Ying could not even scream.

Her entire spirit body was in the air, trembling from time to time.

Xiao Ying realized she had forgotten to ask the amulet what would happen if she could not make it through.

She thought she would die.

There was no need for the amulet to answer. Her soul burning made her feel as if her essence was about to be torn apart.

Thinking that the Xiao family was still alive and well, she knew she had yet to take revenge.

She immediately regained some strength and used the force of her hatred to resist the heat.

However, even after a long time, the burning in her body did not stop.

She already felt that her soul had become thin.

Was she going to die there?

Then what was the point of her rebirth?

Just as Xiao Ying’s consciousness was beginning to fade away…

A surge of energy was transmitted from the amulet and into her.

It protected her entire body.

It was not until she had safely passed through her classes that she left.

At that point, the glow on the amulet dimmed significantly, and the ball of light swayed unsteadily.

A familiar coolness surged into her soul.

Xiao Ying, who had just narrowly escaped death, sighed.

Her entire body was surrounded by mysterious characters.

Compared to her blindness previously, Xiao Ying could now very faintly understand this time.

Soon, the cooling sensation subsided and the characters entered Xiao Ying’s body.

The moment she opened her eyes, she discovered an abnormality in the amulet.
