Chapter 3238: I Almost Wanted to Die
Mei Ziqing: Let’s meet at the restaurant.
Ning Shu headed to the restaurant. When she arrived, Mei Ziqing was already inside and waved at her.
Ning Shu walked over and saw that Mei Ziqing was covered in water vapor, but her clothes weren’t wet.
She must have made more progress in ordinance comprehension.
Ning Shu sat across from Mei Ziqing and said, “You’ve gotten much stronger.”
Mei Ziqing flipped her hair. “Just a little. It’s all from accumulated time.”
“Sometimes it feels really discouraging. You don’t know how I felt—while I was working on ordinance comprehension, a little brat next to me had a sudden breakthrough. I almost wanted to die,” Mei Ziqing shook her head. “I really wanted to kill that brat for crushing my self-confidence.”
Ning Shu: …
Yeah, that’d definitely be a blow. Sometimes, comparing yourself to others was just self-inflicted pain.
Ning Shu comforted her, “At least you’re not me. Last time I was comprehending, I just ended up sleeping for who knows how long.”Mei Ziqing: …
“You’re even weirder than me. How can you fall asleep like that?” Mei Ziqing called over the waiter and ordered some pastries.
Ning Shu ordered two hot drinks. While sipping, she asked, “Why are you asking me to join you for this task?”
“Mm, this world’s background is quite vast. The plane is too large, so having just one task-taker is pretty much useless. The more the better,” Mei Ziqing said.
Ning Shu nodded.
“Eat first. After eating, we’ll go comprehend the ordinance,” Mei Ziqing said.
Ning Shu nodded.
The two left the restaurant and went to find a place to comprehend.
Mei Ziqing had already comprehended part of the ordinance, so she sought out a place where the ordinance was stronger. Ning Shu couldn’t handle it. Before even getting close, she already felt intense crushing pressure.
“You go ahead. I’ll comprehend here,” Ning Shu said.
Ning Shu sat cross-legged and began to comprehend the ordinance.
With her eyes closed, Ning Shu felt like she was drifting on the sea, wave after wave rocking her.
Damn it, she wanted… to sleep again.
Ning Shu pinched her thigh. Damn it, she’d sacrificed so much and fought so hard to get into the ordinance space! She wasn’t here to sleep!
Ning Shu was annoyed with herself for not living up to expectations.
She straightened her back and earnestly began to comprehend the ordinance. At her ears, she seemed to hear the sound of ocean waves, the drip-drip of water, the roaring surge of a tsunami. The sound waves almost shattered her heart.
All kinds of sounds echoed in Ning Shu’s ears.
And then Ning Shu fell asleep.
She slept soundly, without thinking about anything, rocking gently. It was as if she had no thoughts and couldn’t think.
No worries, no obligations—she just wanted to keep sleeping like this.
Yeah, screw comprehending ordinances, I’m going to sleep.
Ning Shu felt like she was a fish swimming in the ocean. She felt incomparably joyful.
Then a wave crashed down, tossing the little fish ashore. It flailed wildly, and Ning Shu woke up.
Ning Shu was hugging a stone pillar by the roadside, drooling in her sleep.
Luckily, she was in soul state—otherwise she might have been assaulted.
Ning Shu felt quite relieved, although she thought she might be overthinking it.
Mei Ziqing was quietly watching Ning Shu from the side.
Ning Shu stood up and asked, “How long did I sleep?”
“No idea. If we were in the City of Time and you slept like that, you might have slept yourself to death, or your soul could’ve been completely depleted,” Mei Ziqing said calmly, a tic mark appearing on her forehead.
“When you said before that you fell asleep, I thought you were joking.”
Ning Shu: What can I do? I feel such despair too!
“But you’ve got some water vapor on you, so you must’ve comprehended something,” Mei Ziqing said.
Ning Shu looked at her body. “Not at all. I didn’t comprehend anything.”
“To comprehend an ordinance, you have to become that ordinance, merge into it, and then control it,” Mei Ziqing said. “Your soul has some water vapor—it should mean you’re starting to comprehend it.”
Ning Shu: What the heck?
Could sleeping really let you comprehend an ordinance?
Yeah, right!
If it were that easy, there wouldn’t be so many people who failed and turned to spell cultivation instead of comprehending the actual ordinance.
