Spring passed and autumn came. Flowers bloomed and fell. Half a year passed quickly. It hadn’t been long since autumn had arrived in Laiyang Prefecture, and the air was already desolate and cold. The lively streets were no longer as bustling as before, and some shops were even closed. There were many refugees dressed in rags at the city gate.

The sound of horse hooves rose. These refugees raised their dirty faces. When they saw the Qilin uniform, fear appeared in their eyes and they involuntarily shrank their bodies. Lian Nishang, who had just killed two to three Rank 4. deer demons, saw this scene and the joy in her eyes gradually disappeared. She silently rode her horse into the city.

“Sister Yu’er, we haven’t been back for more than a month. Why are there so many refugees in the prefecture?” Lian Nishang could not help but ask as they walked on the spacious street.

Ling Yu’er pursed her lips. “Sister Nishang, you don’t seem to care about daily life at all. Now that demons are rampant and evil sects are everywhere, the governments of the prefectures and counties can’t even take care of themselves. How can they care about the commoners? The Laiyang Prefecture is still alright. The other counties under the prefectures are filled with refugees.” She continued with a hint of jealousy in her tone, “You were taken care of too well by Brother Shen. You’re otherworldly.”

Although she said that, Ling Yu’er could not help but think to herself, “Even if Brother Shen dotes on you, you don’t know how to cherish him. I’m afraid you won’t be able to obtain the Bloodline Essence Pearl that Brother Shen has condensed.” Only then did she feel much better.

Lian Nishang exclaimed, “Doesn’t the Dynasty care?”

Ling Yu’er scoffed, “Sister Nishang, didn’t you read the history of Spring and Autumn when you were in school? Every time demons wreak havoc, the dynasty would find it difficult to control them. Forget it, you won’t understand even if I tell you this. You should just focus on killing demons.”

Lian Nishang could naturally hear the disdain in Ling Yu’er’s words, but she did not care. She pouted her red lips and said, “Sister Yu’er is right. Nishang really doesn’t understand these things. As long as we kill more demons, I think it will change.”

Ling Yu’er wanted to say that there was no way she could kill all the demons. However, she swallowed her words back down. Killing more demons was indeed useful. Putting everything else aside, just within the radius of Laiyang Prefecture, Lian Nishang had indeed killed a few Rank 4 and Rank 3 demons that had appeared in the past six months.

The other members of the Demon Suppression Division behind the two of them did not say anything. Back when they were hunting demons, these people could tell that the two of them were not on good terms. Lian Nishang was still alright, but Ling Yu’er could be said to be competing with Lian Nishang everywhere. Sometimes, she would even argue with her.

When they returned to the Demon Suppression Division, and handed over the mission, Ling Yu’er went to get the materials. Lian Nishang ran to Shen Ping and said aggrievedly, “Brother Shen, am I too useless?” She repeated what Ling Yu’er had said.

The corners of Shen Ping’s mouth twitched. Immortal King Ling Die quite liked to be jealous. He would have to use his whip to beat her ruthlessly later.

“Everyone has their own strengths. Nishang, you’re good at killing demons. Ling Yu’er has been in the prefecture since she was young. She has a rich family background and is also a businessman. She has come into contact with all kinds of industries. She definitely knows more than you and I. Therefore, you don’t have to compare yourself to her. The most important thing for us bloodline awakeners is our cultivation base and strength. When you break through to the fifth rank or the Star Rank, you can help the people more.” He comforted her.

Lian Nishang’s eyes lit up. “Brother Shen is right. Only by being powerful can you do more. Hehe, Brother Shen is still the best.”

He watched as the girl beamed with joy. Shen Ping stretched out his hand to check the round curve on the chest of the Qilin suit. “Nishang, I haven’t seen you for more than a month. This place seems to have grown a little bigger. Do you often miss me at night?”

Lian Nishang still could not withstand the tease. After just a few massages, the girl’s face was flushed red and her skin was hot. “B-Brother Shen, I… I just came back. I haven’t showered yet. I’ll go back first.” With that, she ran away.

Shen Ping could not help but laugh. However, he was not in a hurry. In any case, this girl could not escape his grasp. Besides, there was another girl who needed to improve. He had to keep a close eye on her first. At the very least, he had to unblock her meridians and let her completely adapt to his strengths.

In the small courtyard at night, after heating up his body, Ling Yu’er raised her watery eyes and looked at Shen Ping as she cultivated the Silent Meditation Technique. This technique was not easy to master. Not only did it require patience, but one also had to master breathing techniques.

A long time passed. Her face was flushed red, and she finally let out a breath. Shen Ping smiled and said, “Not bad, you’ve improved a little. Although you’re still not good at it, practice makes perfect. You have to practice more in the future. Turn around. I’ll teach you the horse stance now.”

They did the Horse Stance for an hour before the preaching end. While taking a bath, Shen Ping reminded her, “Remember to comb your hair into two ponytails next time. This will help you cultivate the Horse Stance, understand?”

Ling Yu’er nodded her head repeatedly.

Very good. Seeing that she was so sensible and obedient, he did not mention the matter of her bickering with Lian Nishang. It was fine as long as she knew her limits. Shen Ping raised his hand and grabbed at the air. The power of stars enveloped him. “Can you feel it?”

Ling Yu’er asked in shock, “Brother Shen, is this star power?”

Anyone who had undergone the teachings of academies would know about the power of stars. This was something that one had to master to advance from a bloodline cultivator to the Star Rank. Under normal circumstances, one would only be able to master this technique in the continent’s capital. This was also the main reason why the prefecture capital and county cities were unable to give birth to Star Rank cultivators.

“That’s right.”
