How can you still give merit to saving sentient beings?

Chapter 46 The real situation in the city
Yuan Xia met Ning Shuang's purely questioning eyes, and felt strange for a moment. He paused and took a long breath, then explained the part of his true thoughts: "It's nothing, I just feel that he is vaguely unusual."

After hearing this reason, Ning Shuang pursed her lips and showed a smile.

She had known Shuo Ming's specialness for a long time. It was quite normal for Yuan Xia, as a monarch in the demon realm, to have some strange perceptions of Shuo Ming.

Little did they know that the "unusual" the two meant was very different. Their different perspectives would undoubtedly have a great impact on future situations.

Seeing Ning Shuang's reaction, Yuan Xia was even more puzzled. She clearly had a very bad attitude towards that Shuo Ming, so why was she smiling and concerned when she mentioned him now?
This made Yuan Xia couldn't help but make another note on Shuo Ming.

"Although it is difficult to explain, he is the son of that couple after all. He needs to know the truth. Don't worry, just tell him."

After going around in circles, Yuan Xia brought up the previous topic again.

Ning Shuang tilted her head and sighed. She didn't know this truth, she just couldn't bear it.

And what Yuan Xia said is right. There are all kinds of hardships in the world today. Although Mingrui has experienced sorrow, facing it with strength is a better result, and it is not hidden by so-called good intentions.

Looking at Yuan Xia's gentle and encouraging eyes, Ning Shuang nodded slightly, stood up and walked to the boy's side.

Yuan Xia saw Ning Shuang squatting down in the distance, raising her head to face the boy. After telling the truth, she patiently reached out to wipe away the boy's tears.

She must have told her with concern that this young man could not only understand the situation but also stabilize his mentality.

Looking through the figures of the two of them, Yuan Xia's eyes were slightly in a trance, as if he had seen a scene that was extremely far away in his memory.

If at that time, he was by his side...

The thoughts that had just emerged were interrupted by the two people who came over. Yuan Xia calmed down and looked at Mingrui, still showing his kindness.

Mingrui no longer had the initial fear of Yuan Xia, and faced Yuan Xia's concern at this time, he also took the initiative to get closer.

Yuan Xia gently raised his hand, and a little spiritual light quietly poured into Mingrui's body, making his emotions gradually calm down.

After comforting him, Yuan Xia asked seriously: "What do you want to do in the future?"

"I want to practice hard, eliminate the evil spirits, and personally avenge them."

Mingrui's firm yet trembling answer and his hanging but clenched hands showed his resentment and unwillingness.

Ning Shuang didn't say anything. Mingrui didn't wantonly implicate innocent people with his anger because of the death of his parents. There was nothing wrong with following the cause and effect and taking on this grudge to settle accounts with the enemy.

It's just that he doesn't have that ability yet and needs to wait a little longer.

At this moment, several slightly panicked and messy people of various shapes suddenly walked quickly not far away.

They ran straight towards Ning Shuang, but Ning Shuang didn't notice any dangerous aura, but Yuan Xia still set up a barrier to protect them.

The few people wisely stopped approaching and looked at each other. The leading man said to Ning Shuang, "You must be the immortal who came to Yuyuan City recently."

Ning Shuang had never seen them before, and she looked a bit like she was looking for trouble, but she still calmed down and nodded: "Yes, what's the matter?"

"Then you should already know the situation in the city, or in other words, have experienced it."

Ning Shuang frowned and asked before answering: "Why do you mention this?"

She couldn't help but be vigilant. No one had objected to the transformation of evil spirits for several days, and it was even treated as normal as eating and sleeping. It was strange that someone suddenly cared so much.

The people on the opposite side looked at each other nervously. After confirming their eyes, the leading man said: "Answer first, do you think that is a good thing?" Yuan Xia glanced at Ning Shuang. He was not familiar with what happened here. So the action should still be based on Ning Shuang’s intention.

Ning Shuang thought for a moment, patted Mingrui on the shoulder, motioned for him to stay behind Yuan Xia, and took two steps forward to face them alone.

"I think I roughly understand what you mean." Ning Shuang immediately said, "First of all, it is almost impossible for the confused people in the city to ask me such questions. Secondly, if I have any objections, I will take action earlier. Do something... I think you are trapped by the current situation?"

After listening to Ning Shuang's words, the tense postures of several people relaxed.

"Yuyuan City's manipulation of life and death is more difficult to deal with than places simply infested by evil spirits. If you intend to let me help, then what I want to tell you is that I am already doing this."

Hearing this, they actually became excited.

"Let me tell you!" One of the women had tears in her eyes, "No one who has ever come here before has been running around like this immortal."

"Anyway, we are finally saved!"

After listening to their stories, Ning Shuang learned more secrets.

Most of the people seem to be obsessed with following the Jinyu Guangyingmen, but in fact they are scattered in every corner. There are still people who want to get rid of this situation, but they are often powerless.

Some who disobey the arrangements will be caught in Guangyingmen.

Today, there are not many people who still hold on to their faith.

Those who resist like them will become evil spirits without consciousness after transformation, and will be taken away secretly.

In the beginning, people with advanced skills would occasionally come to express their hope of helping. However, except for those who were deceived in the process, most of them actually yearned for this method and came here to practice it specifically.

In short, the situation is not optimistic, so much so that the survivors with clear consciousness cannot believe that they have good intentions when they discover that there are new strong people.

Ning Shuang's thoughts actually changed due to the situation in Yuyuan City. This mortal world was no longer just a pitiful invader, it was also rotting from the inside out.

She couldn't help but sigh, and just as she was about to continue talking to them, she suddenly noticed something not quite right.

These people were all injured, and Ning Shuang was unable to treat them immediately, so she asked Yuan Xia to take Mingrui and them away to find a safe place outside the city to wait for her to meet up.

As a monarch of one party, Yuan Xia had seen many scenes, and he understood that one should not push too hard in critical moments. Therefore, he hurriedly warned Ning Shuang a few words before running away with those people.

Besides, he also believed in Ning Shuang’s abilities.

The surroundings were surrounded by black mist coming from afar, emitting an ominous aura that made it difficult to breathe.

The first few evil spirits suddenly emerged from the fog, paused for a moment, and then continued to rush straight towards Ning Shuang.

Their bodies glowed with a visible dark red light, and Ning Shuang instantly thought of the Ji Ling King he had seen before.

Although King Ji Ling gave her something, she had expected a conspiracy at that time, so she was not surprised.

Ning Shuang cast a spell to resist, but what surprised her was that these evil spirits obviously had their own consciousness, but they pounced on her one after another silently, as if they regarded her as an extremely attractive prey.

She had used magic to detect the Southeast Book and the Xuanli Candle given by King Ji Ling, and there were no problems...
