Chapter 142: Spring Heart

Chapter 142: Chapter 142: Spring HeartSeeing Ling Chen remaining silent, Piano Girl hurriedly said, "It’s okay, I can arrange for you a Cultivator around the eighth level of the Spirit Sea Realm, how about that?" Being the Dark Night Son, naturally came with certain powers. For example, opening a backdoor for geniuses with extraordinary talent but not strong actual power. Caught off-guard by the concession, Ling Chen couldn’t help but smile wryly. "That’s not what I meant." Ling Chen spoke. "Is the eighth level of the Spirit Sea Realm still very strong? It’s alright, the seventh, no, how about directly the sixth level?" Piano Girl hurriedly said. Ling Chen was different from the usual Cultivators being recruited, after all, he held a great grudge against the Great Xia Royal Family. Now, his father was still imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison of the Royal Capital. This mission was, in essence, merely a formality for Ling Chen. "No, you misunderstand!" Ling Chen smiled wryly again. Piano Girl gave Ling Chen a strange look, then gritting her teeth, said, "Are you saying you want me to admit you without an examination? Although it’s against the rules! But, considering you helped me before, let’s skip the assessment then!" "Miss! Isn’t this a bit inappropriate?" At this point, the old lady quietly spoke up. "Granny Hua, it’s alright, if anything happens, I’ll take full responsibility." Piano Girl insisted. "Alright then." The old lady glanced at Ling Chen and fell silent. After all, her main duty was to protect Piano Girl. Considering her status was beneath that of the Dark Night Son. Since Piano Girl had said so, she had no place to advise against it. Ling Chen quickly waved his hands and said, "Qin Xianzi, you really misunderstood. What I mean is, can you arrange a different opponent for me? How about a Cultivator from the Primordial Pill Realm?" "A Primordial Pill Realm Cultivator?" Piano Girl and the old lady exchanged glances, both stunned. Seeing their expressions, Ling Chen could only explain, "Anyway, I plan to participate in the Dark Night Son selection ceremony in three months, so let’s just combine this so-called declaration of intention and the candidate task for the Dark Night Son, shall we?" "What? You want to challenge a strong expert from the Primordial Pill Realm?" Piano Girl’s beautiful eyes widened in shock, exclaiming aloud. Even the old lady at her side was staring with wide eyes, her face filled with disbelief. No one had ever heard of someone voluntarily making their mission more difficult! "Yes." Ling Chen replied with utmost confidence. After all, completing a task is the same whether you herd one sheep or two; there’s no need to waste time doing it twice. Finally realizing what he meant, Piano Girl, with a look of utter disbelief, said, "Ling Chen, are you sure you can now kill a strong expert from the Primordial Pill Realm? Although you have cultivated the Heavenly Spirit Technique, the gap in Cultivation level between you and the Primordial Pill Realm is too vast!" Indeed, Ling Chen had killed two Bronze Killers a few days ago. seaʀᴄh thё Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. But the gap between the Primordial Pill Realm and the Spirit Sea Realm was too great. Ling Chen probably couldn’t even contend with a strong expert from the Primordial Pill Realm, let alone kill one! The candidates for Dark Night Son who were able to kill someone from the Primordial Pill Realm not only had their Cultivation reach the pinnacle of the ninth level of the Spirit Sea Realm but were essentially on the verge of breaking through to the Primordial Pill Realm! "Kid, let this old woman add a word. The Primordial Pill Realm isn’t as simple as you imagine! Don’t think that just because you have successfully cultivated the Heavenly Spirit Technique, you can look down on everyone!" The old lady spoke up. Being a strong expert in the Primordial Pill Realm, she understood the terror of the Primordial Pill Realm the best, and was most qualified to say these words. "Yes, Ling Chen, you really need to think it over!" Hearing Granny Hua’s words, Piano Girl nodded vigorously, continuing to advise. "Qin Xianzi, Granny Hua, I appreciate your good intentions. But I really don’t want to waste time." Ling Chen insisted. Firstly, his Spiritual Power was now on par with the late seventh layer of the Spirit Sea Realm. With an inferior Heavenly Spirit Technique, it may not be impossible for him to fight against an early-stage Primordial Pill Realm expert. Secondly, he also possessed a Divine Soul cultivation at the Solid Realm level; the might of his Divine Soul Telekinesis was entirely comparable to that of an early-stage Primordial Pill Realm expert. Thirdly, he was to assassinate, to launch a surprise attack; the initiative was in his hands. A novice expert of the Primordial Pill Realm might not necessarily be his match! Fourth, he must become Dark Night Son as soon as possible; otherwise, the Ghost Guard might attack him at any moment, and he did not wish to follow in his father’s footsteps. Therefore, he must obtain the protection of a Dark Night power to resolve the imminent crisis that could descend at any time. Seeing Ling Chen so determined, Piano Girl looked at Ling Chen, saying gravely, "Ling Chen, to be honest with you, the Dark Night Association will send an Inspector to secretly monitor whether you complete the task. However, the Inspector will not intervene, even if you encounter danger, the Inspector will not help! I ask you once more, are you certain you want to switch your assassination target to an early-stage Primordial Pill Realm expert?" "Confirmed!" Ling Chen nodded firmly. "Alright!" Piano Girl nodded and casually threw a Jade Scroll, saying, "This is the information of the person you are to assassinate, your task is to kill him within a month." This person was originally selected for a Cultivator who was a candidate for the Dark Night Son. Since Ling Chen took the initiative to request it, she gave it to Ling Chen. "No problem." Ling Chen took the Jade Scroll and placed it into his storage ring. "Qin Xianzi, wait for the good news from me." Ling Chen said, then took his leave. Watching Ling Chen’s departing figure, Granny Hua couldn’t help but say, "Are the youngsters these days all so haughty? This boy’s Spiritual Power seems to be at the sixth or seventh layer of the Spirit Sea Realm, right? Does he think that by mastering an inferior Heavenly Spirit Technique, he is invincible?" She was a high-level Primordial Pill Realm expert and could sense the general level of Ling Chen’s cultivation. It was ridiculous for someone with such a level of cultivation to even dream of killing a Primordial Pill Realm expert! Piano Girl spoke up, "Granny Hua, he’s also a Divine Thought Master!" "So what if he’s a Divine Thought Master? Unless he reaches the transformational stage, it’s impossible for him to pose any threat to a Primordial Pill Realm Cultivator!" Granny Hua said disdainfully. "Granny Hua?" Piano Girl suddenly looked at Granny Hua, her voice tinged with coquetry. "What now?" Granny Hua looked on guard, "I’m here to protect you; don’t expect me to save that ignorant brat!" Every time Piano Girl acted coquettishly, it was never for anything good. Piano Girl said with a smile, "Of course, I know what your task is, Granny Hua; I won’t make things difficult for you." "Miss, what are you planning? You’re not thinking of taking risks, are you?" Granny Hua glared at Piano Girl. "Of course not!" Piano Girl’s smile blossomed, "I will also secretly follow Ling Chen there!" "Miss, you!" Granny Hua sighed. She knew the young lady would never just leave Ling Chen to his fate. She wondered what kind of luck that boy had to be so appreciated by the young lady! Suddenly thinking of something, she looked at Piano Girl with a strange expression, "Miss, you’re not falling for this boy, are you?" "Granny Hua, what are you talking about! Ling Chen has given me guidance, how could I bear to watch him walk to his death?" Piano Girl’s face flushed with shyness. "Still denying it? Look, your heart is already aflutter..." Granny Hua said. "Granny Hua, I’m not talking to you anymore!" Piano Girl stomped her foot and ran into the bedroom, slamming the door shut with a "bang."
