Chapter 2336: Bai Sanniang
Ning Shu felt like her legs were about to break from being clamped by the animal trap. Seeing no other choice, she lay on the ground and began trying to pry the trap open with her mouth.
The moment she moved and touched the trap, however, her wound hurt like crazy.
Moreover, due to excessive blood loss, her body was very weak. Ning Shu was very thirsty, too.
She stuck out her tongue and licked the snow on the ground.
As she grimaced in pain, Ning Shu started receiving the storyline.
The original host, Bai Sanniang, was a white fox who had been injured by an animal trap and fell into a hole dug by a hunter.
At this point, Bai Sanniang was still just an ordinary fox. She could only, at best, be considered a bit smart.
Bai Sanniang was then rescued by a boy, whom she followed afterward.
This world was a cultivation world. Its people were eager to gain power and become immortals.
In this kind of cruel world, the boy, who had been orphaned, was viewed as a weed. As they lived together, the boy and Bai Sanniang became codependent on each other.
But nothing lasted forever. Bai Sanniang’s snow-white fur was flawless. Even if she rolled in dirt to cover the fur up, it would still attract the attention of some greedy people.
Indeed, some monster traders later came to capture Bai Sanniang. In order to let Bai Sanniang escape, the boy grabbed them and hindered them from going after her.
Before Bai Sanniang escaped, she saw people beating him up. She realized then that her presence there would only encumber him, so she ran.
Bai Sanniang returned to that place the next day, but by then, he had disappeared.
She didn’t know if he was even still alive.
Bai Sanniang could only whimper and return to the deep mountains. There, she worked hard and cultivated. By the time she had achieved strength, however, the world had already changed.
By now, even if Bai Sanniang wanted to seek revenge on those hunters, she wouldn’t be able to find them anymore.
Likewise, she never saw the boy again, either.
Later, when Bai Sanniang was going through heavenly tribulation, her inner demon caused her to be directly killed by the tribulation lightning. Her soul was supposed to be scattered completely by the lightning then. However, because of the obsession she held, a trace of her soul held on.
Ironically, the same inner demon that motivated her to pursue power also made her fail in her pursuit.
Bai Sanniang’s wish was to repay the boy well.
Ning Shu was now Bai Sanniang who had been caught in an animal trap.
Ning Shu let out a long sigh and she stopped struggling. She’d just wait for the boy to save her.
She should also think of ways to repay him…
When Ning Shu thought of the boy, the word ‘wet nurse’ instantly popped into her head.
This was her first time transmigrating as a non-human being.
She didn’t know if she could cultivate the Unsurpassable Martial Arts or not.
Who knew if animals even had dantians or not?
Ning Shu lay on the ground. She inwardly recited the Unsurpassable Martial Arts, but animal tendons were different from those of a human being.
Ning Shu had no choice but to learn as she went. Since there was fur all over her body, and thus she couldn’t absorb spiritual energy through her pores, Ning Shu had to inhale spiritual energy with her mouth open.
Since she was using her mouth, only a bit of spiritual energy was entering her body. However, she could still feel that this world had quite an abundance of spiritual energy.
Ning Shu’s heart was thus full of expectations. Since the spiritual energy of this world was abundant, it’d be easy for it to naturally form some treasures. She might just encounter something good here.
It was already dark, and the boy was still nowhere to be seen.
The chilly evening wind howled. The weather was getting colder, too.
Ning Shu curled up into a ball and pressed her head against the injured leg. Because of the injury, the blood from her leg had become frozen. She was both cold and very much in pain.
As she waited for the boy to come rescue her, Ning Shu kept her ears perked up. She also opened her mouth to absorb the spiritual energy in the air.
She was a little bit afraid that the hunter would come before the boy. That’d be tricky.
The problem was, some things just weren’t set in stone.
Ning Shu cultivated all night. By the next morning, she was licking the snow to try to stave off her hunger.
If only she had a fasting pill with her, she wouldn’t have to waste spiritual energy to maintain her physiological normality right now.
