Chapter 17: Bai Lian, Let’s Go Home (1)
It was a long and thick lance, roughly twice as large as what an average person could carry.
The lance’s shaft was as white as warm jade, with a cold light glinting on its tip.
There were no ornate decorations to speak of, making it appear quite plain.
Despite its simplicity, this was a weapon forged through countless battles, facing countless dangers, and ending countless lives.
The scars of time etched upon the lance told a story of past glory.
And now…
Here it came.
It stood upright, accompanied by gusts of warm air.
The merperson spun around quickly,
but when it attempted to dodge, it felt as though it had entered a tightening cave.
The more it twisted, the more it was bound.
It could only watch helplessly as the massive lance was forced into its eye socket.
[Through]
Boom!
It felt as though the Universe had just begun.
A fierce explosion emanated from the Sea of Divine Sense, freezing the merperson’s body completely.
“…”
Ahh… it’s so hot! Take it off quickly… take it off!
The merperson hurriedly raised its right hand, attempting to pluck the lance from its eye socket.
But then, horror struck.
The connection to Ruomu was severed.
The power it had consumed earlier leaked out, all gone.
Why?
It had been so close to invincibility!
It didn’t even need to travel far; as long as it lingered near the path’s entrance, it could wield power rivaling that of an immortal being.
That was the Immortal’s power.
In the East Divine Land, who could have dared to kill it? Who could?
Bai Lian?
She had once been an Immortal Emperor, but that was in the past, wasn’t it?
Now, the era of “Yuan” had ended, and no one cared to listen to the stories of the Immortal World anymore.
But…
Why?
A biting cold began creeping up from the soles of its feet.
The merperson’s body trembled violently as if something was about to burst out of its head.
It could no longer think clearly.
Pain!
The pain was deep, reaching into the soul itself!
It was even worse than the tail of the giant sea monster!
The merperson writhed in midair,
its mind racing in anger.
Why? Why did the path to invincibility always have so many obstacles?
Wasn’t it the same for the former Sea Emperor?
Now, it was its turn.
Why?
Blood arrows shot out of the merperson’s eyes, like arrows from a bow.
Its head felt as though it was being set ablaze, but in the next instant, the chill washed over it like a wave.
Guru Guru…
The painful stimulation from two extremes didn’t bring joy; it was abrasive.
The merperson struggled to rise.
The first thing it saw was Bai Lian standing there.
Bai Lian had a slight smile on her lips, her face relaxed.
What confidence, what composure! As if nothing in the world could escape her calculation!
Speaking of calculations…
Ding!
Suddenly, an idea flashed through the merperson’s mind.
After being shot through the head, its thinking cleared up.
Maybe…
The merperson gasped heavily,
a terrifying thought flashing through its mind.
No… no way. It couldn’t be true.
Just as the merperson lost itself in thought, Bai Lian let out a sigh of relief.
Really.
She had been half a step away from death just now.
The immense pressure had been about to crush her into a pulp.
But, fortunately, a long lance had flown in from the sky!
Others might not recognize it,
but Bai Lian remembered it clearly.
In the game, Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian had often “competed” with this smooth Heavenly Lord’s Lance, giving the unruly An Lan a “deep lesson” after seizing the lance.
“Shifu, you come.”
Bai Lian bent down and picked up the Heavenly Lord’s Lance, which had fallen at her feet.
In this vast world, An Lan rarely encountered opponents who could challenge her.
But Bai Lian, well aware of this, felt relief after seeing her appearance.
However, after the relief came worry.
If her heart had not been so tightly guarded, her worries would have spilled over.
There were too many worries!
She had risked so much without even asking for her master’s help, as if she didn’t want her to expose her true strength.
Her master disliked getting into trouble; revealing her true strength would surely attract countless annoying incidents.
Thus, her time alone with her master would become even less.
Of course, Bai Lian was more worried that Yue Wuyang might discover her master’s true identity.
The Xianyuan Emperor and Witch Queen had boundless power, both being top experts in the Immortal World.
They were all defeated by her master before, but to kill her master now? It would be as simple as crushing a piece of cake.
“But…”
Bai Lian sighed quietly.
Her master had come to save her, what more could she say?
She looked up.
After the cold mist faded, a girl in a light blue tucked shirt dress with untidy bangs landed on the black turtle’s back.
It was An Lan.
She had a frosty expression on her face and quickly marched up to Bai Lian.
“Well…”
The turtle twisted its head, preparing to greet An Lan.
But seeing An Lan raise her right hand high, she slapped Bai Lian hard on the right cheek.
Pa——
The slap echoed sharply through the air, and Bai Lian’s eyes widened.
The turtle, Zhao Haiya, Xia Guiyuan, and Ying Shi were all stunned.
“Who is she? How dare she slap White Emperor Bai Lian?”
“Shut up, that’s White Emperor Bai Lian’s master!”
“Isn’t she just an ordinary cultivator at the Transcendency Stage? If she hadn’t picked up the unawakened White Emperor Bai Lian, who would even know who she was?”
What the heck!
Upon hearing this, Bai Lian was startled.
You can say anything you want, but don’t speak recklessly.
If her master is annoyed, you’ll be in big trouble!
But Bai Lian’s worries were completely unnecessary.
Angry An Lan was filled with nothing but thoughts of Bai Lian, leaving no room for anyone else.
[Why did I actually hit her?!]
Apologize now?
No.
The Immortal Heavenly Lord never apologizes!
It was clearly Bai Lian’s fault, why should she apologize?
An Lan had been observing for a while, keeping a close eye on Bai Lian.
That is to say, when An Lan arrived, Bai Lian had already done “that bad thing” with Xia Qingqing, otherwise the Heavenly Lord’s Lance would have been aimed at Xia Qingqing.
Even so, An Lan was still angry.
That troublemaker, Xia Qingqing, should leave quickly, stop giving Bai Lian reason to glance her way!
“I’m so angry!”
An Lan shouted, grabbing Bai Lian by the ear.
“Shifu~”
Bai Lian immediately put on a pitiful expression.
She wasn’t mad at An Lan.
You can beat and scold me, I’ll take it as a twisted form of love.
And when I get the chance, I’ll return this love to your butt in the future!
This…
When Zhao Haiya saw this scene, he was shocked.
The little girl (An Lan) was beating the elder girl (Bai Lian).
Is this really not reversed?
He had seen many strange things, but this was the first time he’d witnessed such a scene!
Right now, An Lan was so close to Bai Lian that if she moved just a little, their chests would touch.
But An Lan still knew her limits.
They could do this in her own cave, but not here!
She simply scolded,
“I told you many times, if you go out, you must tell me first!”
Bullshit.
You never said it!
