Chapter 1989: Was Like Being in the Sauna
Ning Shu was lying on the bed waiting for the punishment to come. “2333, you better not let me down.”
Ning Shu felt that she should be able to endure such a punishment. After all, she was someone who had been able to endure even a vicious curse.
Two could play at this game.
She felt a wave of warmth all over her body, but there was not a trace of pain. It was like being in the sauna. She was covered with sweat but felt refreshed.
“It’s done?” Ning Shu asked 2333.
“I’ve already absorbed all the energy from the punishment,” said 2333.
“Amazing.” Ning Shu gave 2333 a thumbs up.
“Of course. But my level is still too low. Once my level becomes high, these systems will simply be no match for me,” 2333 said smugly.
Ning Shu: →_→
He was already this smug after a one-word compliment? Seriously. Even though the virtuous empress system had already attached itself to her soul, this was all he could do. He was seriously useless.
Ning Shu had Qiu Ling prepare some hot water. She was covered in sweat, so she planned to wash up.
“Why was there no reaction from you? You didn’t feel any pain?” The virtuous empress system’s voice had a hint of confusion. It was clear that it had never encountered a situation like this.
The reaction of this host was outside of his predictions.
Ning Shu lay in the bathtub. After sweating, taking a nice hot bath was super comfortable.
“Oh, this empress was born without a sense of pain,” said Ning Shu quite happily.
The virtuous empress system did not believe her. The pain it created didn’t target the body but the mind, and the pain was bad enough to drill into the soul.
The virtuous empress system then released a lightning strike, causing the water in the tub to crackle loudly.
However, Ning Shu was completely fine and even continued washing herself with the electrified water.
It was tingly and slightly numb, it felt really nice, like a massage. However, the hairs on her body were standing up.
“What’s going on?” The virtuous empress system was completely baffled. All its energy had disappeared.
It had never encountered a host like this.
The virtuous empress system once again released energy to torment Ning Shu, but all of its energy was absorbed by 2333.
Finally, the system felt that this situation was pretty bad. Usually, this method of carrot and stick was the best way to domesticate a person.
However, none of its punishment methods were effective now. Without the experience of the extreme pain of punishment, the host would not learn to be obedient, much less focus on properly completing the tasks.
The virtuous empress system calculated the situation and felt that it would not be able to obtain many benefits from staying with this host. On the contrary, it would be a waste of energy.
However, before it left, it should devour this soul. The soul was strong and also had merit power, so it would be quite a gain.
It was rare to find a soul with merit power.
Ning Shu had finished her bath and was getting dressed when she felt a force trying to suck her soul out of her body, trying to pull her soul into a place of total darkness.
“2333, why are you still not attacking? If you don’t attack, both of us will be done for.” 2333 was bound to her soul. If something happened to her soul, 2333 would also die.
Ning Shu did her best to control her soul, but the suction force was getting stronger and stronger. Her soul was about to be peeled away from this body.
She suddenly found that she was truly weak. Her soul’s attack power was really weak, so she really had no way to protect herself. It seemed that in the future, she had to start practicing soul attack methods.
Last time, when she was fighting over the body with that assassin, she had already noticed that her soul’s attack power was one of her weaknesses. Once this task was over, she definitely had to exchange for a secret manual that would teach her soul power attacks.
