Chapter 16 Part 2: The Demon Sword, Slashes Me! (2)
In a deserted place, she wandered alone, with solitude as her only companion.
She felt an urge to cry; if she had known earlier, she would never have become Zhi He.
Pretending to forget the past, living on as Si Yunshang, even if she ultimately couldn’t have Bai Lian, at least she wouldn’t die, and she could still watch Bai Lian from afar.
She truly was such a fool!
Clap.
Water droplets rolled down.
Was I crying?
Si Yunshang extended her tongue to lick away her tears, but instead of teardrops, she licked a spot that was as smooth and tender as milk and as cold as ice.
Hmm?!
Her tongue curled around there, and suddenly her eyes flew open.
The sight that met her eyes was a face hovering extremely close!
Si Yunshang couldn’t clearly see the full face at that moment, but from the faint glow emanating from the tongue and the lingering scent in the air, she drew her conclusion.
“Bai Lian!”
There was no mistake!
She had secretly memorized that scent countless times, and even if Bai Lian was surrounded by a group of women, she could instantly identify her.
“Is this a dream?”
At the moment of death, it wasn’t particularly regrettable to be able to see such a vivid dream.
A flame ignited within Si Yunshang’s body, and she pushed herself upward with great force.
She wanted to get up.
It was decided.
Today, though she might die, she would be Zhi He who once stirred up the cultivation world of the East Divine Land, rather than Si Yunshang who passed away alone in a deserted corner.
But as soon as she tried to stand, her knees pressed against Bai Lian’s thigh.
Dream?! Stop such nonsense! Wake up!
Bang——
Bai Lian’s hand struck Si Yunshang’s head, forcing her back down.
But mistakes had been made.
The glistening drool stuck to her mark on the corner of her eye, revealing an extremely eerie peach-colored aura in the starlight’s reflection.
Bah, Bah, Bah.
Bai Lian wiped the drool from her face with a disgusted expression.
She had been fortunate enough to find Si Yunshang, then knelt beside her and carefully examined the strange lines on her cheeks.
And as a result, while she was busy with her work, Si Yunshang had been up to mischief beneath her.
If this hadn’t been an unsafe place, Bai Lian would definitely have taught Si Yunshang a lesson or two.
Stinky little sister, times had changed. Even if ten of you took turns, you wouldn’t be able to defeat me.
“You… How come you’re here?”
After a long while, Si Yunshang finally snapped out of her shock and realized this wasn’t a dream.
Her emotions were extremely complex.
Pleasantly surprised?
Indeed, quite pleasantly surprised. She had already resolved to fight to the death with Gu Yunzhi and the others before the Heavenly Demon Magic Spell entered her brain.
Who would have thought that Bai Lian, whom she yearned for, would appear this way, and even fulfill her wish of touching Bai Lian’s mark?
That was wonderful.
If Bai Lian hadn’t been holding her shoulder, she would have wanted to lick it a couple more times.
Shyness?
It didn’t exist!
Beyond the surprise, Si Yunshang also felt uneasy.
She wasn’t worried about Bai Lian’s safety. Based on the strength Bai Lian had shown in the past, those pursuing her outside were no match for Bai Lian.
She was simply feeling melancholic about her current situation.
“Is it very ugly?”
After speaking these words, Si Yunshang turned her head, preventing Bai Lian from seeing the right side of her face.
In Bai Lian’s mind arose a fresh set of options.
[Task 1: Inform Si Yunshang of how you arrived here (Reward: Exquisite Spirit Tool – Burning Sun Lance).]
[Task 2: Pin down Si Yunshang, silence her, kiss her! (Reward: The secret medicine – Tears of the Small Courtyard Flower).]
[Task 3: “Stop fussing about being ugly, quickly leave with me from here.” (Reward: Hard Skill+7)]
Did she need to think?
There would be plenty of time later; there was no need to exert herself explaining to Si Yunshang now.
As for Task 2, if she were still a player of the game, she would have chosen it.
But enough noise.
Even if Bai Lian were brave, she couldn’t do such things in this dangerous environment.
Therefore, she grabbed Si Yunshang’s face and gently scolded her, “Stop fussing about being ugly…”
Si Yunshang was momentarily stunned. “Is it really not…”
Bai Lian approached her directly and pointed to her own mark with her index finger, asking, “Am I ugly?”
Si Yunshang shook her head.
“That would be the end of it, wouldn’t it?” Bai Lian quipped. “I am not unattractive here, and you are not unattractive there either.”
Si Yunshang fell silent.
Was this meant to console her?
How could the scars on the body of a Demon Woman compare to the symbol of the Saint?
“Eat this first.”
At this moment, Bai Lian suddenly handed a pill to Si Yunshang, followed by a small bottle about the size of a fingernail.
“What is this?” asked Si Yunshang.
“Three Independent Revitalizing Pill, and the Taiyin water.”
“The Taiyin water?”
Si Yunshang’s attention focused on the latter.
She had heard of it.
No way!
She shook her head in refusal; this was too precious.
Bai Lian thrust the two items into Si Yunshang’s hand and said, “Take it! What’s your hurry? I have a lot of… water! I still have many more.”
Indeed, nearly half of the Taiyin water squeezed out by the master remained unused.
After all, the Martial Sisters didn’t have strong abilities, so they couldn’t drink too much.
Si Yunshang could only reluctantly accept Bai Lian’s kindness.
Her eyes sparkled.
Despite the mere half-inch that separated her from Bai Lian, she felt as if an insurmountable wall stood between them.
Could a person change the past?
She wished to become a person of immaculate cleanliness.
When Si Yunshang drank the Taiyin water, Bai Lian said, “You really have guts, showing up in such a conspicuous place.”
Si Yunshang whispered, “I don’t have much time left. Even if I hide, it’s useless. This place is more comfortable than any other.”
“Is this a magic spell?”
“Yes, it’s the Heavenly Demon Magic Spell.”
“What’s the treatment?”
“I don’t know.”
That would be troublesome.
Bai Lian slightly furrowed her brow; she had no experience in this matter, not even close to Si Yunshang’s level.
The Taiyin water was unable to dispel the Heavenly Demon Magic Spell, and she had no other divine objects with her.
The system reward, Elixir of the Celestial Deity, was obviously not feasible.
She couldn’t do anything about it and would have to find the master.
Last time it was the master who had instructed her to save Si Yunshang; this time…
She only hoped that when the master punished her, she would go easy, preferably refraining from emotional abuse.
Otherwise, she would have to grab onto her master’s feet and refuse to let go!
“Let’s go.”
Bai Lian promptly lifted Si Yunshang onto her back.
Her height wasn’t much different from Si Yunshang’s, so she did it effortlessly.
However, during this period, there were some unexpected incidents because Si Yunshang was very restless and kept struggling.
“Don’t move around!”
Bai Lian gave Si Yunshang a pat on the buttocks.
Clap!
The sound was clear and melodious.
Si Yunshang’s body quickly became taut.
She leaned back hard, afraid her chest would press against Bai Lian’s back.
“…”
Bai Lian came to a halt.
Very strange.
“Are you really Si Yunshang?” she couldn’t help but ask.
“I…”
“The Si Yunshang I know is bold and straightforward, always wanting to take me back to the Lingxu sect. Even on the Qiongming Peak, she fearlessly wants to get close to me.”
Si Yunshang remained silent.
Because at that time, she hadn’t known Bai Lian’s noble identity.
When she tried to look for it again, she couldn’t find a trace of “Chen Lu” in Bai Lian no matter what she did.
The radiance emanating from Bai Lian was exceedingly dazzling.
She was like the sun, melting away all the darkness in the world.
Although Si Yunshang’s heart still hoped for it, she didn’t dare to touch Bai Lian again after truly meeting her.
“Let it be, we will discuss this matter later.”
Bai Lian flew westward with Si Yunshang on her back, refraining from directly tearing the fabric of space to avoid drawing attention from others.
This was precisely the time just prior to nightfall.
The orange-red sun in the west was gradually disappearing amidst the rolling mountains, while flocks of birds flew back to their nests one by one.
Bai Lian’s expectations ultimately came to naught.
“Zhi He!”
A roar resounded from nearby and after a moment’s pause, over a dozen silhouettes flew in from the distance.
Among these people, there was no shortage of powerful cultivators at the Transmigration Stage.
But…
Was that all?
Bai Lian had attained the peak of the Transcendency Stage in her cultivation base, and her foundational skills had been elevated to the level of the Transmigration Stage.
She considered it to be the easiest battle she had experienced in recent times (with certainty).
Come and fight!
The Dirt Free Sword flew out and Bai Lian showed no fear.
Though burdened with Si Yunshang, needing to support her buttocks with one hand, she would still be invincible at Xili Mountain today!
At that very moment, Bai Lian suddenly sensed a damp warmth trickling down her neck.
With a start, she released Si Yunshang.
Si Yunshang retracted her tongue, as if nothing had happened. “Let me handle this myself.”
Bai Lian, who was upright and noble, should not have any association with a malevolent witch.
She extended her right hand and drew a sword from the countless drifting purple butterflies.
Demon sword, slay me!
Si Yunshang took a step forward.
Just like stepping into a different space, the green trees that covered the mountains vanished without a trace, replaced by vast stretches of purple lotuses.
