Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor

Chapter 553 - 45: The Sinister Senior Sister

"Hell-style training?" Before arriving at the Mainland Magic Elite Camp, Yun Sheng knew nothing about the instructors here. Like with the Dark Gold, it was only after Master Mo Ge’s recommendation that she found it.

"If I say it, I might scare you all. Before you came, aside from me, the other trainees either couldn’t endure the training and ran away or went insane. The junior sister who stayed in your thatched cottage before you, she was particularly unlucky. During the training, she was careless for a moment, and snap—she lost her head," Ke Ling mimed the motion of a head being severed.

A look of fear crept onto Donghuang Lingling’s pretty little face.

Suddenly, an eerie wind seemed to come from nowhere, and the room’s Lighting Magic Array flickered to life.

Donghuang Lingling shivered with fright, and upon looking around, she indeed felt the thatched cottage was haunted, clinging to Yun Sheng, her body trembling uncontrollably.

"You should be careful while you sleep tonight," Ke Ling kindly reminded them before leaving.

"Senior sister, be careful of what?" Donghuang Lingling asked, not understanding.

"There’s something strange about this room. The two junior sisters who slept here before, plus one senior sister, either went mad or died. Don’t you feel that this room is particularly cold?" Ke Ling sighed, then floated out lightly after speaking.

"Heh, thank you for the reminder, Senior Sister Ke Ling," Yun Sheng watched Ke Ling depart without taking her words too seriously.

"Then I won’t disturb the two junior sisters’ rest. I’ve prepared some food and water here. There is no cooking allowed, and you can go to the canteen for your meals. The canteen provides meals from six to eight in the morning, from eleven to one at noon, and from four to six in the afternoon," Ke Ling glanced at Yun Sheng.

To her surprise, this seemingly delicate junior sister, whose cultivation wasn’t as advanced as her own, didn’t appear to be disturbed at all.

It seemed her main target would still be Yun Sheng.

The moment Ke Ling stepped out, Yun Sheng’s smile faded away.

"Yun Sheng, was what the eldest senior sister just said true?" Donghuang Lingling had a rather good impression of Ke Ling.

Compared to the ghostly Dark Gold Master, Ke Ling seemed much more amiable, even specially delivering food to them.

"Don’t trust everything blindly. I find that person a bit off," Yun Sheng felt something was wrong.

She checked the food Ke Ling had brought over one by one and found nothing unusual.

"Are you saying, Senior Sister Ke Ling wants to harm us? Why would she? We have no grudges against her," Donghuang Lingling, who was a bit hungry, only began to eat after Yun Sheng confirmed the food was safe.

"You, without knowing anything about the situation, were so eager to find a master. Every mage, especially the more skillful ones, generally have their own Secret Magic, which they only pass on to their most favored disciple," Yun Sheng suspected that the death or insanity of the mages who came to learn before were all related to Ke Ling.

However, she had just arrived at the Mainland Magic Elite Camp and knew nothing; for safety’s sake, it would be better to ask around early tomorrow.

Upon hearing this, Donghuang Lingling hurriedly dropped her food and looked around, shivering involuntarily.

After Ke Ling’s hint, Yun Sheng really did notice that the room felt particularly cold.

"What are you thinking about, go to sleep early," Yun Sheng patted Donghuang Lingling, who reluctantly went to lay out the bedding and rest.

The two had a busy day, and soon fell asleep early.

In another room of the thatched cottage, Ke Ling snickered with sinister glee.

Two newcomers oblivious to the dangers, let’s see if I don’t scare them into imbeciles.

In the middle of the night, Yun Sheng was awakened by Donghuang Lingling’s nudging.

Donghuang Lingling was shivering with cold: "Yun Sheng, could you check to see if there’s someone outside? I thought I saw a shadow pass by the window just now."

After listening to Ke Ling’s words, Donghuang Lingling had become suspicious and restless, unable to sleep peacefully.

Yun Sheng walked to the window and looked outside, where the starry sky was clear, and a cool breeze blew, but nothing was there.

Suddenly, a Lighting Magic Array emitted a "zzz" sound, and the lights in the room wavered between bright and dim.

For a moment, the room was filled with an eerie, ghostly atmosphere.

Yun Sheng was about to check the Illumination Magic Array.

"Ah!" Donghuang Lingling screamed, pointing out the window.

Just now, a white-clad shadow had darted past.

This time, Donghuang Lingling saw it very clearly.

She was increasingly convinced that the house was haunted.

"Yun Sheng, let’s not stay here, I’m scared," Donghuang Lingling pulled Yun Sheng, trying to leave.

"What’s all the noise! In the middle of the night, can’t you let people sleep? If you can’t sleep, then get out!" came the irritated scolding of the Dark Gold Master from the next room.

"Don’t panic, first have a cup of tea to calm your nerves," Yun Sheng poured a cup of tea and added a small amount of Mandala Lotus Leaf to it.

This medicinal herb, when consumed in small amounts, can be used for sleep and to promote vitality.

Donghuang Lingling, unsuspecting, drank it and indeed felt much calmer. She lay down in her clothes and soon fell asleep.

Yun Sheng checked the Lighting Magic Array and found that the array inside had been tampered with.

After extinguishing the Lighting Magic Array, the room was quickly engulfed in the darkness of the night once more.

"Sss sss," the window was gently opened.

A figure in white robes crawled in.

When the figure reached the bedside and was about to attack.

Suddenly, a shadow leaped out from a corner of the room.

That shadow, was Little Black, not seen for a long time.

With Little Black’s exceptional skills, the white shadow had no time to react.

Little Black kicked forcefully, pinning the white shadow down with its limbs.

It bared its sharp teeth and viciously bit down on the "white-clad ghost."

Now, with an attack power comparable to a Ninth Rank Demon Beast, Little Black’s bite could penetrate even the finest War Helmet.

The white-clad ghost struggled a few times, then quickly stopped breathing.

Yun Sheng, who had been lying in bed, sat up, with a sharp look in her eyes.

She stepped forward and lifted the white robe.

Inside was a small beast, and with one glance, with her Summoner’s eyesight, Yun Sheng could tell it was a low-class Demon Beast of the Second or Third Rank.

It was unclear who would play tricks in the dead of the night, dressing it up.

It had a pair of wings on its back, little did Donghuang Lingling know, it was this small beast causing havoc outside, moving erratically and scaring her witless.

Yun Sheng took a look, could the person be a Summoner?

However, it must have been a low-class Summoner, one who would use Beast Language to enslave a low-level Demon Beast.

"Little Black, you did well, don’t reveal your identity, return to the Beast Tower immediately," Yun Sheng cleaned up the corpse of the small beast.

Under the night, her dark pupils shone even brighter.
