Chapter 3346: Like Mischievous Little Spirits
Ning Shu stood at the entrance of the pathway leading to the ordinance space. After being tossed around, she found herself in the City of Water.
She felt rather hopeless trying to comprehend ordinances. She came here every time she completed a task.
But it was pointless—she never made any progress.
Ordinances were invisible, intangible, and completely unfathomable.
Like mischievous little spirits.
Ning Shu wasn’t in a hurry to comprehend them. First, she headed to a restaurant, planning to spend some faith or merit points on some soul-nourishing food.
She needed to relax, listen to some gossip, and then slowly attempt comprehension.
Right now, she was extremely weak. How weak? So weak that even within the City of Water, she had to stick to areas with the faintest ordinance fluctuations.
Those who had grasped the ordinances would leave the city to comprehend them.
Outside, the ordinance energy was overwhelming. With her current strength, she’d be obliterated in seconds.
She even didn’t dare to go near areas with slightly stronger fluctuations.
Ning Shu found a spot, leaned against a wall, and sat cross-legged to begin her comprehension.
If she had known earlier, she would’ve started with the fire ordinance—the water ordinance was way too complicated.
She took a deep breath and focused.
She emptied her mind. Then emptied it again.
Who knew if this even worked?
If she had enough faith power, she could just buy the insights left by predecessors instead of fumbling around like this.
Drowsiness crept in, and before she knew it, she felt like she was drifting off to sleep.
She heard a door creak open, followed by footsteps approaching.
Someone was calling her name.
“Ning Shu, Ning Shu…”
At first, the voice was distant and muffled, but it grew clearer and clearer.
“You’re still not up? It’s time to get up.”
Ning Shu opened her eyes in a daze and looked at the person calling her.
She moved her lips slightly. “Mom…”
“Get up now. Your older brothers already had breakfast and are heading out. They’re not waiting for you anymore.”
Ning Shu blinked in confusion. “Mom, I think I had a weird dream… A really long, really weird dream.”
Her voice sounded childish. She raised her hands and stared at them—small hands.
She couldn’t tell if she was dreaming or awake.
“What weird dream?” her mother asked while pulling clothes from the wardrobe.
“I grew up, then I died, then I came back to life.” Ning Shu lowered her head.
“What nonsense. Hurry up and put your clothes on—you need to go to school.” Her mother dressed her.
Ning Shu looked around. This was her room. A teddy bear lay on the bed. She was just a little girl.
“Mom, I’m telling the truth,” Ning Shu insisted. “I really had a long, long dream.”
She couldn’t tell what was real and what wasn’t anymore.
“Yes, yes. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have slept in so late.” Her mother playfully scolded her.
In her dream, she had a system—a very annoying one. “2333…”
No response. Nothing at all.
She wanted to cultivate, but her mind was completely blank.
“What’s wrong with you? What 2333?” Her mother pulled on her pants and grabbed a comb to tie her hair.
“Mom, how old am I now?” Ning Shu asked.
“Eleven.” Her mother tied two pigtails and secured them with decorative flower hair ties.
Ning Shu pinched her own arm. It was painful, very painful.
She looked in the mirror. A face with faint eyebrows and clear eyes stared back at her.
She patted her cheeks. What was happening?
Was this a dream? Or had everything before been just a dream?
She felt completely lost.
Her mother slung a backpack over her shoulders. “Hurry up, your brothers are probably going crazy waiting for you downstairs.”
“No more sleeping in.”
“Okay.” Ning Shu looked at her mother, feeling like she had already lived a lifetime.
Which was the dream? Which was reality? What had happened to her?
