Chapter 3482: Diva, Diva (39)
What Ning Shu lacked most right now was soul power. She needed to strengthen her soul, otherwise every teleportation would hurt and tear at it, which was incredibly uncomfortable.
It was fine if the points were low. Honestly, it didn’t matter. Receiving more soul power was great, as it meant the entrustor was very satisfied with her performance. It served to slightly soothe the pain in her heart over her recent expenditures.

Ning Shu sat cross-legged on the sofa and began to absorb the 80% soul power she had obtained. She was quite expectant. She hoped her soul would grow significantly.
After absorbing for a good while, Ning Shu finally opened her eyes. She looked down at her soul and touched it. It felt much more solid. It had finally grown stronger.
Every time she traveled through planes, her soul felt agonizing. Furthermore, 2333 was a crude person who didn’t understand gentleness.
She felt damn good!
2333: “…I don’t really want to say this, but I have to tell you some unfortunate news.”
Ning Shu said indifferently, “Are you about to die?”
Aside from that, Ning Shu didn’t think any news could be considered unfortunate.
“It isn’t that I’m dying. It’s that Qiao Ling’er died during a prison brawl and ended up being selected as a task-taker,” 2333 said.
Ning Shu merely raised an eyebrow. She didn’t even feel a hint of surprise. She looked completely relaxed.
“Oh.”
2333 looked at Ning Shu with some surprise and asked, “Don’t you have any thoughts on this? Aren’t you afraid she will seek revenge on you in the future?”
Ning Shu said expressionlessly, “Then she better have the ability to find me. Even if she had the chance to become a task-taker, she needs to look at her own strength before trying to get revenge. I have no fear.”
“Qiao Ling’er can be considered strong-willed and decisive, but the path of a task-taker is not an easy one. If she has the skill, let her come for revenge,” Ning Shu said dismissively. She now had the strength and the confidence to face a rookie task-taker. If she didn’t even have this much confidence and instead lived in fear, then what was the point of her career?
She didn’t even know if Qiao Ling’er would die halfway through the process. To think she would be terrified or trembling was a joke.
Even if Qiao Ling’er grew stronger, by the time she reached Ning Shu’s current stage, Ning Shu felt she would likely be at an entirely different level. Who knew where she would be by then?
Ning Shu had this much confidence and certainty. She had the tax revenue of a city backing her, allowing her to buy whatever resources she needed.
She was constructing a world and taking control of her own fate. She had so many things to do. Why would she care about someone whose current strength was only that of an insignificant ant?
One’s height determines their vision.
2333: “That makes sense. You used to care a lot about things like this.”
“That was my past self. I was weak and inevitably anxious. Now that I have a bit of strength and know what I’m doing, I naturally won’t be afraid,” Ning Shu said calmly while lying on the sofa.
Prison really was a ‘great’ place.
“If you hadn’t saved her when the system was devouring her soul back then, this wouldn’t be happening now. Even if you don’t need to pay attention to ants, you should still remain vigilant.”
“I know. However, ascending to heaven in a single step isn’t that easy for her.”
One should despise the enemy strategically but respect them tactically.
Qiao Ling’er was a lucky person. She was reborn and bound to a system, got a face-change, and now she had become a task-taker. But luck would run out one day. Ning Shu’s enemies weren’t just this woman. There were others as well. When you had too many debts, you’d stop worrying about them, and once you had too many lice, you’d stop feeling the itch.
If they all wanted revenge, Ning Shu wasn’t afraid.
She even planned to take down the auction house rooted in City of Water. That auction house definitely had a powerful background. If Ning Shu was planning to mess with them, why would she fear Qiao Ling’er?
The chat system went ding-dong, ding-dong. Ning Shu opened it and saw a message from Mei Ziqing. Mei Ziqing said she was outside the city lord’s residence, but since Ning Shu had placed a barrier around it, she couldn’t get in.
Ning Shu replied that she would be there immediately and closed the chat system. She thought for a moment and asked 2333, “Have you already finished absorbing the system’s energy?”
He had said he was going into hibernation earlier, so why was he awake now?
“I woke up. I was just a bit tired, so I took a nap to rest my spirit. How long did you think I would sleep?” 2333 asked.
“I remember you once slept for a very long time,” Ning Shu said, raising an eyebrow. She really understood 2333 less and less. She couldn’t tell what he was thinking, and sometimes his behavior defied explanation.
“To avoid being disturbed, I always go into deep sleep,” 2333 said.
Ning Shu’s lips twitched. She said somewhat unpleasantly, “So all that talk about ‘hibernation’ in the past was just a lie to fool people!”
“You can’t put it that way. To avoid being disturbed, I simply chose the ‘Prohibit External Interference’ mode,” 2333 explained.
Ning Shu: …
City people really know how to play!
“To the City of Water.”
Ning Shu’s head spun as she landed on the bluestone pavement of the City of Water. She headed straight for the city lord’s residence. A person was standing at the entrance. When Mei Ziqing saw Ning Shu, she hurried over.
With a flick of her finger, Ning Shu broke the barrier covering the residence and walked inside.
Mei Ziqing followed Ning Shu to the study, where they saw the red-haired Xiao Huo reading.
Xiao Huo’s hair trailed down to the floor, as red as fire. He was currently flipping through a book with great concentration.
