Chapter 69: Chapter 69

Controlling Spirit Monsters, with formidable power, doesn’t necessarily require being with the Spirit Monster constantly. However, Li Shuning knows Zhou Jinyun’s capability. To control the Spirit Monster more precisely, Zhou Jinyun must be nearby.

The Spirit Monster is dead, yet through the spiritual link between it and the controller, Li Shuning knows that even though the Spirit Monster is dead, it will still drift toward Zhou Jinyun’s direction.

Soon, Li Shuning discovered that the Spirit Monster was circling a corner of the river.

Li Shuning threw away the Spirit Monster and swam toward the riverbank.

Once on land, she searched carefully and found the unconscious Zhou Jinyun under a big tree.

Looking at this familiar face, Li Shuning shook her head.

Zhou Jinyun is no longer her match, but she won’t let Zhou Jinyun die here.

Revenge for revenge, she will let Zhou Jinyun taste the pain as well.

Li Shuning raised her hand, a white light emanated from it. She pressed her palm against Zhou Jinyun’s forehead, slowly smoothing over the wounds in Zhou Jinyun’s soul.

When Zhou Jinyun opened her eyes, she was still a bit bewildered. When she saw who was in front of her, she was startled.

It was Li Shuning. This face was Li Shuning’s. Why is she in front of her?

Li Shuning didn’t give Zhou Jinyun a chance, spiritual power surged out, eyes locking onto Zhou Jinyun’s eyes.

Gradually, Zhou Jinyun’s gaze became dazed.

Li Shuning issued an order directly within Zhou Jinyun’s deep mind, instructing her not to harm Li Fu and Wang Xiaojuan anymore.

Even a tiger takes a nap, and Li Shuning can’t be with her parents all the time. If one day, due to her inattentiveness, her parents encounter an accident, there would be no time for regrets.

As long as she doesn’t target her parents, the rest doesn’t matter; she’s confident she can handle it.

This is also the reason why Li Shuning hurried over to deal with Zhou Jinyun.

Li Shuning walked back along the riverbank.

She disappeared all of a sudden, fearing her parents must be extremely worried.

Li Shuning, after all, is still young. Though she is now powerful, she still cannot fly. Her short legs took quite a while to return.

Previously, guided by the water current, she quickly found Zhou Jinyun. But now on the shore, she had to walk back all by herself.

When Li Shuning returned to the scene of the incident, she indeed found many boats on the river.

Li Shuning’s hearing and sight are beyond ordinary people; she heard her mother Wang Xiaojuan’s cries from afar.

The boats were all fishing along the river, most of them were locals from the same village.

Even though they were searching, no one held much hope. The river water was too fast, and if a child falls in, they fear they might have been washed away.

But Li Fu’s family’s only child fell into the river. One way or another, they still need to help search; otherwise, Li Fu and Wang Xiaojuan might not be able to hold on. Check latest chapters at ɴovelfire.net

They didn’t notice Li Shuning waving her arms vigorously at the river’s edge.

Li Shuning felt a bit helpless; what should she do?

She looked around and found a rather large willow tree by the river.

She reached out and slapped the willow, breaking it directly in half, with one part on the ground and the other submerged in the water.

Li Shuning climbed to the top of the willow, the end submerged in the water.

After soaking her clothes and everything, she quickly waved her hand and attacked another willow tree, this time causing a bigger commotion.

The willow tree near the water fell directly into the river.

This disturbance caught the attention of some people.

They naturally saw the other willow tree fallen by the water.

Some keen-eyed people seemed to notice something hanging at the top of the willow.

Though incredulous, someone still rowed their boat closer to the willow.

Upon seeing, they screamed out loud: "Quick, Li Fu’s Nannan is here, caught by the branches, quick, quick, Xiaojun, your Nannan is here."

Someone cautiously retrieved Li Shuning, gently checking her breath, finding she was still breathing, and cheered.

Li Shuning pretended to faint, otherwise she might be bombarded with questions.

Li Fu and Wang Xiaojuan hurriedly came over, seeing their daughter soaked, with a pale little face, feeling very guilty.

If they hadn’t been so useless, they wouldn’t have brought the child onto the boat. If the boat had capsized this time and something happened to the child, they would never forgive themselves.

"Xiaojun, don’t cry; the child is fine. She must be just frightened. Bring her home and take good care of her. This child is lucky and will be fine in the future."

"Yes, yes, we really want to thank all the uncles, aunts, brothers, and sisters. If not for your help in finding her, Brother Fu and I mightn’t have found Xiao Ning."

"What’s there to thank? We’re all from the same village; quickly take her back and check her out. Don’t let Xiao Ning catch a cold."

After returning home, Li Shuning automatically woke up.

Since then, Wang Xiaojuan stayed home to take care of Li Shuning.

Li Fu, alone in fishing, was just not as effective.

At this time, Wu Lei was financially tight. After borrowing money around, he was still short. As in the plot, Wu Lei shamelessly approached Li Fu.

Now, Wang Xiaojuan was home taking care of Li Shuning, household income reduced significantly. Li Fu, considering their child, had little savings left, and unlike in the plot, didn’t lend all the money to Wu Lei.

Moreover, after Li Shuning fell into the water, families slightly closer came to check on her, but Wu Lei didn’t. Li Fu had long lost any warmth, directly rejecting Wu Lei.

Wu Lei thus bore a grudge against Li Fu, spreading malicious talk outside, irking Li Fu.

Yet, villagers knew Li Fu was sincere, and couldn’t help but ask Wang Xiaojuan for clarification. Wang Xiaojuan, feeling indignant, let slip their previous borrowing matters, and soon Wu Lei’s reputation was utterly sullied.

Li Shuning breathed a sigh of relief, concerned her honest father might be tricked by Wu Lei again. Now, Wu Lei probably hates their family to death and hopefully won’t shamelessly bother Li Fu again.

Besides, after Wu Lei’s case, Li Fu should see through Wu Lei as a person.

Li Shuning thought about improving their family’s condition.

In the plot, within decades, Spirit Monsters will become more numerous, gaining intelligence, and relations with humans will grow tense.

By then, human villages will all fall.

Everybody will be forced to migrate to big cities.

Their home’s condition will determine if they can survive in the city by then.
