Chapter 221: 221
Chapter 221 – A Cultivator's Dream
November 30th .
At the city of Ganling, Sun Jian had sent his decree that they would dispatch their troops and attack Julu in spring . Even though they heard about the Imperial Army's defeat at Liyang City, Sun Jian still insisted that they had to help the Emperor in this crusade .
As the army was in the preparation phrase, Sun Fang and Li Jing were sitting face to face in their courtyard . Their faces were as pale as a white sheet .
Li Jing returned to Ganling as Sun Fang had summoned her . They had many pressing matters which required her wisdom .
In these past months, Julu Army and Tong had caught them off guard by force marching and occupying Ye City under their noses . Furthermore, Tong even captured Liyang City and repelled back the Imperial troops before they could even react .
Their intelligence agents also sent back a piece of rough news about the movements in Shangdang and Jinyang . It appeared that there was another battle in the areas, but their eyes and ears could not reach that far as it was beyond their influence .
Then, last month, they managed to grasp the result of the war as they received a notification from the system .
Their soulmate quest had been pleted!
…

…
It meant two possibilities from the pletion of the quest . Either Liu Ping or Zhang Jiao had died from the battle .
Li Jing had confirmed the news with Sun Jian's spies . It was not hard to figure that Liu Ping had died as Zhang Jiao was still alive in Julu .
Instead of being happy about the pleted mission, they were angered by it as they could only get the useless shopping tickets as their rewards . Because they had not killed a single soldier after the quest had started, so there was no lifespan reward for both of them .
Today, another disaster struck them as the system suddenly wiped their skills .
The announcement from the system also followed after that, which was the reason for Li Jing's pale faces .
She did not have enough lifespans to buy back her skills!
In addition, she had too many skills before the wipe . The feeling of her losses destroyed Li Jing's morale and psych to the point that she could not regain their senses for hours .
"I should have known … I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN! DAMN IT, SYSTEM!!" Screamed Sun Fang .
Li Jing, on the other hand, was holding her head as if she had a headache . She had precisely a dozen skills in her arsenal, which was enough to destroy an army of a thousand men by herself even after the major nerf . Li Jing felt like she had lost everything .
She stared at the number of survivors . The number in the system menu, which used to be [10] after Liu Ping's death, was now [3:7] . It was changed to [0:10] after the announcement, but the number flipped after a few minutes .
Li Jing did not like what she saw as she thought that it had a hidden meaning behind the number .
It did not take long that the number changed again . It was now [5:5] .
She lost her patience and questioned the system, "What is the number in the remaining survivor box? Why is it displaying like this?"
[It indicated the number of sinners with one or more skills and the sinners without a cheat skill . ]
Li Jing clenched her fists . She understood now that she and Sun Fang had fallen behind the other reincarnators . In terms of faction, they lost to Tong and his Yellow Turban . In terms of personal bat prowess and lifespans, she was not the top of the food chain .
The sense of crisis loomed over her, yet Li Jing did not give up .
"What can I do to increase my lifespans? Can I accept a mission or a soulmate mission without a skill?"
[No . ]
A simple answer from Lilim shattered Li Jing's hope .
[But I see that you are desperate . I can give you a mission if you want to . In exchange, I will cancel your soulmate contract permanently, and you won't be able to reform it . Will you accept it?]
"I accept!" Unhesitating girl as she was, Li Jing answered without waiting for Sun Fang's approval .
Meanwhile, the other party watched his wife reneged their contract with a shocked expression .
"Wifey?"
He was busy checking his status when Li Jing decided to cancel their soulmate contract .
"Sorry, Fang . It's for our future . "
