It was also because of this bout of crying
That Xin Lanying unexpectedly found a ghostly technique in a cave halfway up the mountain.
The Demon Devouring Technique!
Cultivators could enhance themselves by absorbing the ghostly energy from others.
This technique, which allowed one to plunder the cultivation of others, was the least reliant on talent.
For Xin Lanying, this ghostly technique seemed custom-made for her.
She tightly gripped the Demon Devouring Technique in her hands.
It was like a person on the verge of dying of thirst in the desert holding their last bottle of water.
She held it with all her strength, with all her focus!
Xin Lanying knew very well that this technique could perhaps change her fate.
But before that, she absolutely could not let anyone discover this strange technique.
She needed to hide it, waiting for the right moment to soar to the sky!
That night, Xin Lanying returned home.
Faced with her father's favoritism and the injustice of her environment, she knew very well that causing a scene would have no effect, and it would only invite disdain from others.
So, she could only disguise herself as harmless, in order to live better.
This would also lower everyone’s guard around her.
It must be said that ghostly creatures with cunning minds always adapt quickly.
Xin Lanying had almost managed to make everyone like her.
It was because she was obedient enough and posed no threat.
But there were always exceptions.
Like Ye Yu, the disciple accepted by her sister Xin Wan'en.
For some reason, this little fellow always looked at her with a hint of hostility in his eyes. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
Xin Lanying tried to win his favor with candy,
But instead, she was met with a sharp rebuke.
"The way you smile seems fake, I even suspect you’ve laced this candy with something."
Upon hearing this, Xin Lanying was stunned.
After all, Ye Yu was only eight years old at the time.
How could he say such a thing?
Xin Lanying wanted to explain, but found that Ye Yu had already left.
This made her quite unhappy.
Afterwards, Xin Lanying tried to get closer to Ye Yu, but found that he didn’t respond to either softness or harshness.
Eventually, she had to give up.
After all, Ye Yu was just Xin Wan'en’s disciple, not a true member of the Xin family, so there was no need to invest too much energy.
For Xin Lanying, the most important thing was gaining the approval of the higher-ups in the Xin family.
Later,
Xin Wan'en’s cultivation level stagnated, which ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) made Xin Lanying quite happy.
At the same time, she was actively looking for external help.
In a chance encounter, she unexpectedly crossed paths with Cao Yongyu, the sect master of the Graveflower Ghost Manor.
Xin Lanying knew very well that there weren’t many ghost cultivators who could help her destroy the entire Xin family, and this person was one of them.
To seize this opportunity,
Xin Lanying opened her acting skills to the fullest.
She perfected the white lotus act, balancing between resistance and attraction.
When the meat was presented to Cao Yongyu, he, with the mindset of "why not?", devoured it in one bite.
But what he didn’t expect was that this piece of meat also came with other gifts.
When Xin Lanying told him that she was willing to collaborate with him to destroy the Xin family,
Cao Yongyu’s expression was one of shock.
He even took it as a joke.
After having her unconscious sister taken away,
In fact, by then, Xin Zhanguan could have survived because of the abundant ghostly energy injected into his body.
But Xin Lanying took out the Ghostly Spirit Gathering Pill.
"Pill removes ghostly energy!"
Without the ghostly energy to support him, Xin Zhanguan couldn’t suppress his injuries, and after a few breaths, his soul dissipated.
But Xin Lanying showed no hesitation, using the Demon Devouring Technique to devour all the ghostly energy inside him.
That night, Xin Lanying reached the peak of the Harmonization Realm.
With her newfound strength, she had once thought about killing Xin Wan'en and all the members of the Xin family, then living a new life.
But this thought was quickly dismissed.
Because Xin Lanying believed that making the now useless Xin Wan'en suffer even more humiliation would be a better fate.
Letting the Xin family slowly lose everything would be the most painful outcome.
With this thought in mind, Xin Lanying left, heading straight to the Graveflower Ghost Manor to become the sect master’s wife.
Later, when she heard that the Xin family had been bullied and that Xin Wan'en had been rejected by the Chu family of Xianyin City,
Xin Lanying was truly pleased.
But what she didn’t expect was that, just three years later, Xin Wan'en returned to her peak and came back stronger than ever.
She even destroyed the Chu family of Xianyin City!
Xin Lanying was truly furious.
But what made her even angrier was that the sect master of the Graveflower Ghost Manor, her own man, had started to show interest in Xin Wan'en and even thought about recruiting her.
This was something Xin Lanying could never tolerate.
She knew just how talented Xin Wan'en was!
At this point in the story,
Xin Lanying’s face twisted into a grimace, and she whispered to Xin Wan'en, “My dear sister, why can’t you just die?”
“Why, even now, do you come to disturb my life and torment me?”
