"Ning Yitao, get ready. It'll be your turn soon."
"What's my turn? Why is it so noisy?" Ning Yitao mumbled sleepily as she rubbed her head. When she opened her eyes, she was completely stunned.
Wasn't she dead under the thunder tribulation? Where was this?
Immediately afterwards, a splitting headache struck, and a flood of memories that didn't belong to her rushed into her mind. Only then did she figure out her current situation.
She, Ning Yitao, the seventh - generation sect master of the Tianxuan Sect and the number one expert in the metaphysical world, had died under the thunder tribulation during her ascension. Now, she had been reborn into this girl with the same name.
The original owner had grown up in a village with her grandmother since childhood and was only taken to the city to go to school after her grandmother passed away.
Unexpectedly, someone spread the word that her grandmother was a well - known witch in the village. Since then, she had been called "little fortune - teller" and "little swindler" at school and had become the target of wanton bullying and humiliation.
This time, no one knew who had played a prank and signed up the original owner for this variety show called "Spiritual Battle" just to make her look bad in front of the whole country. During the show, she had been cursed by a spiritualist and haunted by a vengeful spirit.
Unable to bear the burden, the original owner finally chose to commit suicide by taking pills.
"Tsk, suicide is the stupidest way to die," Ning Yitao frowned and then whispered, "But since I've taken over your body, I'll naturally get justice for you! Those who bullied and harmed you before will pay for it one by one!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt her body lighten. Her soul seemed to merge more closely with the body. She knew that the original Ning Yitao had recognized her and left in peace.
Ning Yitao tried to mobilize her spiritual energy. To her surprise, after struggling for a long time, she could only muster a tiny bit.
With great difficulty, she used these few wisps of weak spiritual energy to calculate the situation of the spiritualist who had cast the curse. But before she could finish, she was too weak to continue.
"What's going on? Why does the consumption of spiritual energy increase so much?" Ning Yitao was quite surprised. She managed to gather two more wisps of spiritual energy to check her own condition.
Only then did she discover that the original owner's fate had come to an end. Although her arrival had given this body a glimmer of hope,
it was still going against the natural order. Not only did it consume much more spiritual energy than before, but she also needed a large amount of merit to reverse the fate. Otherwise, she would surely die within a year.
However, from the memories, she knew that metaphysics was in decline these days. Moreover, a large number of people were using the signboard of metaphysics to deceive others, which made the public look down on it. If she wanted to earn a large amount of merit, she had to gain people's trust first.
"Hurry up and get ready. You're next to go on stage," a staff member came over and urged. Ning Yitao was stunned for a moment and then came to her senses.
Right! This variety show, "Spiritual Battle", was extremely popular. If she could defeat other spiritualists and win the championship, she would become famous overnight. Wouldn't the merit just come to her then?
As for the possibility of losing to others? That was not within the consideration of Ning Yitao, the number one genius in the metaphysical world.
Ning Yitao smiled as she thought about it. "It seems to be a good opportunity." Just as she was about to go on stage, she was stopped.
"Hey, I'm Henry. Do you know what's behind that black cloth?"
Ning Yitao looked up. The person speaking was a sunny - looking young man, but his eyebrows were so dark that they were almost black.
Ning Yitao frowned and took a closer look at his eyebrows before saying, "Let's not talk about what's behind the black cloth. I only know that you're about to suffer a bloody disaster and your life is in danger."
Henry was taken aback when he heard this. Having stayed in the Dragon Country for so many years, he naturally understood the meaning behind Ning Yitao's words.
Seeing this, Ning Yitao didn't say much. She just calmly tidied her clothes and casually said, "Believe it or not. If you want to avoid this disaster, I can help you. It'll cost... "
She rummaged through the memories and continued, "Ten thousand yuan. For just ten thousand yuan, I can help you avoid it."
Henry sized up the girl in front of him. She was thin and sallow - looking, clearly malnourished. When she was tidying her clothes just now, he could faintly see the bluish - purple bruises on her arms. It seemed that she had suffered a lot of bullying. He instantly felt a bit soft - hearted.
Anyway, ten thousand yuan meant nothing to a rich second - generation like him. So he pretended to believe her and transferred ten thousand yuan to Ning Yitao.
It was really convenient to receive money in this world.
Ning Yitao couldn't help but marvel in her heart as she looked at the suddenly increased balance in her phone.
Don't say she was greedy for money. You should know that no matter where or who you were, the Heavenly Way emphasized fairness. There was always a price for everything.
If she helped him avoid a life - threatening bloody disaster for free, it would be like Henry owed her a karmic debt. The karmic debt of a metaphysical master was not something easy to owe.
So, taking the money was actually for Henry's own good.
Ning Yitao's eyebrows lifted slightly when she saw the payment arrival message. She stood on tiptoe and patted Henry's shoulder comfortingly. "Don't worry. With me here, I'll surely help you avoid this life - and - death disaster."
After saying that, she took out the only three coins on her. Although they were not ancient coins, as circulating currency, they carried a certain amount of luck and could also be used for divination.
She tossed the coins in her hand six times in a row. Instantly, the hexagram of Henry's impending disaster was clear in her mind. The time...
It was now!
The southeast direction?
With a thought, Ning Yitao quickly grabbed Henry's hand and pulled him behind her, looking towards the corner in the southeast direction.
Henry followed her gaze. Unexpectedly, the next second, a huge python rushed out from the corner of the venue. Just the standing part of its body was taller than Henry, who was 1.88 meters tall.
The python was completely black, and its scales glowed a strange red under the reflection of the light. It opened its huge mouth, and its vertical pupils flashed with a cold light, making people shiver just by looking at it.
At this moment, it was staring intently at Henry and pounced on him the next second.
At this time, Henry also realized that death was approaching. He tried hard to move his body to escape its pounce. But when he was eager to turn around and run away,
he found that for some reason, his body wouldn't move at all. It was as if he was frozen. In an instant, cold sweat soaked through his clothes.
Henry felt death was so close to him for the first time. Seeing that there was no hope of escape, he closed his eyes in despair, waiting for fate to come.
The python rushed over very quickly. What he didn't expect was that Ning Yitao was even faster.
He saw her push Henry away with one hand and quickly gesture a few times in the air with the other. Before Henry could wipe the expression of readiness for death off his face, he saw the huge python turn into a tiny snake only the size of a palm.
The next second, Ning Yitao picked it up by the seven - inch position with her other hand and held it in front of her to observe. After she saw where the snake came from, she raised her eyebrows in surprise.
After Ning Yitao knew its origin, regardless of its struggling, she deliberately swung it in the air a couple of times to provoke it.
The python felt insulted. It glared at her angrily and hissed threateningly.
Unexpectedly, she pretended not to see it and said, "Teng Snake, how have you fallen so low that you need to possess a body to survive?" Hearing this familiar tone, it stopped struggling and looked at Ning Yitao in confusion, as if it could see through her like this.
"Don't you recognize me yet, Zhaocai?" Ning Yitao lowered her head and looked at it, a smile curving her lips.
