Who would have thought that these two just went through a round of internal fighting. Ning Xuemo had just experienced going through the gates of hell, barely coming out alive. She narrowly escaped death from that single confrontation.
“You are inept at psychokinesis.” The Ancestor underwent a huge change, as he unexpectedly said a total of five words.
Inwardly, Ning Xuemo rolled her eyes. ‘Old Grandpa, can you stop poking at my sore spot?’
“But… inside your body, there lies another kind of force. What is it?” The Ancestor continued to inquire and spoke more words than ever. His breath felt extremely cold, and every time he uttered a word, ice seemed to condense around Ning Xuemo.
‘This guy’s body is so cold. How come his blood isn’t frozen yet? This is truly peculiar!’
As he leaned close to her, the chilliness emanating from him became pervasive. Ning Xuemo resisted with great difficulty from shivering and replied, “This is a power I obtained through cultivation. You can call it inner force.”
“Inner force?” The Ancestor softly repeated the words, but his mood could not be inferred from his tone.
Finally, he loosened his grip on Ning Xuemo’s wrist. With her wrist finally free, she immediately retreated back a step. “Yes, it’s called inner force. This is how this humble woman calls it.”
“How did you learn it?”
“It was bestowed by the heavens.” Ning Xuemo once again pushed all the blame to the gods in Heaven. Anyways, it is not like the Heavens will expose her lies, and this all-purpose explanation proved to be quite convenient.
The Ancestor was rendered speechless.
He looked straight into her eyes and said, “You’re lying!”
“I don’t dare to.” Ning Xuemo’s eyes appeared to be filled with sincerity. “This is indeed a skill I possess.” Those words could not be regarded as lies, since the cultivation of inner force truly was a skill she had learned in her previous world…
Two people, one sitting, one standing, looked at each other. Suddenly she felt that her position truly was quite advantageous; at least, she looked like she towered over him…
