Quick Transmigration Cannon Fodder's Record of Counterattacks

Ning Shu let out a long sigh, wondering what the next task would entail.

She felt her tasks were so difficult because she had chosen to escape her responsibility back then.

If she couldn’t complete this task, she’d have to undertake six more.

Six more, six more…

Her mind was filled with “666.”

Footsteps sounded at the door. Ning Shu paused her cultivation session.

A maid entered and said to Ning Shu, “Sir, the family head asks you to come to the study.”

Ning Shu nodded and got out of bed. “This time, I’ll find my way. You don’t need to guide me.”

“Sir~~~,” the maid called out in a delicate, sugary voice.

In the study, Yu Xiongfie and Yu Linglong were speaking.

When Yu Linglong saw Ning Shu enter, she hurriedly bowed. “Thank you, Sir, for saving my life and granting me rebirth. Your kindness is immeasurable and impossible to repay.”

Rebirth?!

A lightbulb went off in Ning Shu’s head. She slapped her thigh—of course! Why hadn’t she thought of this before?

If the contract could only be dissolved through death, then she could simply die!

Ning Shu had always avoided the idea of death, wanting to survive and face her challenges head-on. However, since she couldn’t overcome the world’s ordinances, she could follow normal procedures to dissolve the contract!

If death was the only way to sever the bond, she could just find the right moment and die!

Ning Shu exhaled deeply. Another path had become clear to her, though it would take careful preparation.

“Not bad, not bad…” Ning Shu smiled at Yu Linglong. Her words had given Ning Shu a new idea.

Seeing Ning Shu staring at her so intently, Yu Linglong blushed.

Being stared at by a handsome man naturally made one feel bashful.

“Sir, I’ve prepared the things you asked for,” Yu Xiongfie said.

Seeing the divine beast staring at his granddaughter, Yu Xiongfie became wary, worried this beast had inappropriate intentions toward his granddaughter.

Ning Shu smiled and nodded. “I need you to prepare more things for me.”

She pushed a piece of paper toward Yu Xiongfie. “As for what you’ve already prepared, I’ll also take them. What pills do you want this time? I’ll make them along with my own.”

“Thank you, Sir. This time, I’ve prepared materials for longevity pills,” Yu Xiongfie replied.

Ning Shu looked at him. “Are these pills for yourself?”

“Shamefully, yes. If I don’t break through soon, I’ll turn into a pile of dirt. Consuming longevity pills will extend my life and give me a bit more time to seek a breakthrough,” Yu Xiongfie admitted.

Ning Shu nodded. “Alright.”

She turned to Yu Linglong. “Since you’re able to cultivate again, do it properly. You are you; Yu Liuli is Yu Liuli. There’s no need to compare yourself to her.”

There were countless powerful individuals out there. What benefit did it bring to go and envy every single one of them?

“Thank you, Sir, for your guidance,” Yu Linglong said with a curtsy. After her recent experiences, she seemed more composed and likely to cherish her restored talent.

Ning Shu and Yu Xiongfie took the secret path to the alchemy courtyard.

First, Ning Shu refined the soul-nourishing pills she needed.

Her soul was in dire need of these pills—there could never be too many.

Afterward, she refined the longevity pills.

It seemed Yu Xiongfie didn’t have much time left, which explained his urgency in requesting these pills.

The path of cultivation was fraught with challenges as one was wrestling one’s fate out of the hands of the heavens. Every step tested one’s talent and resolve.

Ning Shu obtained another bottle of soul-nourishing pills and consumed one.

A cool sensation flowed through her soul, though the effect was weaker than the first time she used them.

This body had developed resistance to the effects of these pills. Additionally, excessive consumption of pills would result in pill toxins accumulating in the body. These toxins would remain dormant in the body, with unpredictable side effects.
