Chapter 3 Part 1: An Lan Enters My Heart (1)
This is hardly an enjoyable experience.
Even if you beat, bind, and roast the jade rabbit over a fire, she will still cry out in an emotional voice.
“Haw!”
“?!”
Bai Lian, who had just climbed out of the window, halted in her tracks.
“What’s the matter?”
She looked down and mischievously shook the jade rabbit, who had gained quite a bit of weight recently.
The jade rabbit, startled, let out a loud cry.
“Haw haw!”
Bai Lian quickly put the jade rabbit down.
She couldn’t quite grasp the situation.
Could it be that the jade rabbit isn’t suffering from a mental illness, but from a physical condition affecting its fur?
But that doesn’t seem right. Before this, she had conducted several full-body checkups on the jade rabbit while it wasn’t paying attention.
The thoroughness of those inspections definitely earned the label of “meticulous.”
Bai Lian could proudly claim that she understood the jade rabbit’s body even better than the jade rabbit herself.
Does the jade rabbit know how many sensitive spots it has?
No.
Does the jade rabbit know how many hairs are on its tail?
No.
Does the jade rabbit know how much it can fit in its stomach?
No.
But Bai Lian knew all of this, so she was confident there was no issue with the jade rabbit’s health.
“After all, I have also consulted with my master before.”
Even the master couldn’t find anything wrong, so it must be true that there’s nothing abnormal.
Bai Lian squatted down in front of the jade rabbit and said, “You can tell me if you’re troubled. Right now, it’s just the two of us, and no one else can hear.”
At that moment, the jade rabbit lightly stroked its own back with its ears.
Upon hearing Bai Lian’s words, it immediately began to act.
Its two ears shot up, straight as swords. The sharp clash of their tips echoed in the air.
Bai Lian, confused, asked, “You want to fence with me?”
What a strange hobby!
No, no, no.
The jade rabbit quickly shook its head.
How could someone as gentle and virtuous as her enjoy a rough sport like fencing?
She only liked playing rock-paper-scissors with Bai Lian.
The jade rabbit pointed to Bai Lian’s chest, then to its own back.
Immediately after, its ears intertwined, rubbing together and sparking as though two swords were clashing.
“…”
Meanwhile, the jade rabbit’s feet were not idle either. It quickly wrote a line of characters on the ground.
[It’s bleeding!]
“…”
Bai Lian immediately understood.
[Are you saying my chest and your back are like two steel plates rubbing against each other?]
So hard!
Bai Lian’s fist felt just as hard as the jade rabbit’s ears right now!
Well.
Bai Lian took a step forward and grabbed the jade rabbit by its ears.
“Hehehe…”
She smiled with a hint of menace, exuding a terrifying aura.
The jade rabbit shivered in fear, recalling the time it was controlled by Xiao Jinse and Su Youwei.
Bai Lian glared at the jade rabbit.
“I didn’t expect you, a big-eared, plump jade rabbit, to dare be my enemy.”
Had she forgotten how happy she was sitting on Bai Lian’s chest when it was still large?
It made Bai Lian angry.
She instantly wanted to throw the jade rabbit off Qiongming Peak.
But then she quickly dismissed such thoughts.
That’s not right.
She wasn’t the violent type, and frugality had always been her consistent style.
“Raising the jade rabbit for a thousand days, only to use it in a moment!”
Bai Lian pulled out a large pot from her chest—one as hard as steel. She often cooked for her Martial Sisters, carrying many seasonings with her.
No matter if it was steaming, grilling, or stir-frying, it was all fine.
“Haw.”
The jade rabbit struggled immediately.
Its body swayed back and forth, getting faster and faster, spinning like a propeller in Bai Lian’s hand.
But how could it compare to Bai Lian, who already had 680 points in Hard Skills?
Mrs. Rabbit, times have changed!
I’m no longer that weak Bai Lian who had to rely on bluffing to intimidate you.
Seeing it couldn’t resist, the jade rabbit grabbed Bai Lian’s thigh.
Though its legs were short, at this moment, they were more stable than a vise.
“Haw haw haw (I’m sorry).”
The jade rabbit raised its head and looked at Bai Lian with pitiful eyes. Its pale blue eyes shimmered like sapphires.
Humph!
Bai Lian snorted coldly.
Do you realize you were wrong?
Her lingering resentment dissipated by half.
After all, she came to solve problems, not to create them.
But she wasn’t willing to let the jade rabbit off so easily. After all, didn’t you “mock” me as a steel plate?
I’ll show you now what “tolerance makes greatness” really means!
But you can only watch.
Want to touch?
No way.
In that instant, Bai Lian’s chest visibly grew, continuing to expand until it was no different from before. It stopped only once it had returned to its former size.
This wasn’t a body-changing spell, but the magic of Soft Skills.
Today, Bai Lian could shape herself however she wished, as long as she desired.
Cube men, pixelated characters, tentacle monsters—no problem.
However, she had always resisted altering her own body, fearing she might forget her original appearance after doing so.
Isn’t it better to let nature take its course?
She may not be good at everything, but in terms of appearance, she definitely deserved the title “fairy-like beauty.” Even she was tempted to do something naughty when she saw herself.
This time, the situation was different.
Bai Lian didn’t break her own rule because her chest had always been like this. Now she was simply “regaining” what she had once lost.
It made perfect sense!
“Haw.”
The jade rabbit paused for a moment, its eyes full of longing.
But Bai Lian was firm. She let go of the jade rabbit, crossed her arms, and got straight to the point.
“I’ve noticed that you’ve been distracted lately. Have you encountered any problems?”
The jade rabbit, trying to focus, could only move her gaze away from Bai Lian’s chest.
“Haw.”
Her ears swayed like sea grass in the wind.
It was a long story.
The jade rabbit released her divine sense, inviting Bai Lian to experience it within her Sea of Divine Sense.
Bai Lian agreed without hesitation.
Though they had occasional conflicts, overall, her relationship with the jade rabbit was no less than that of an old married couple.
What’s the harm in visiting the Sea of Divine Sense for a while?
It’s nothing.
Bai Lian entered smoothly, and in the warmth that enveloped her, she finally understood the source of the jade rabbit’s melancholy.
Envy, admiration, self-blame, and anxiety.
All of these emotions stemmed from the third Martial Sister!
On the evening after returning from the Sand Region, the third Martial Sister proudly shared her brilliant achievements with the others.
Except for the naive Fifth Martial Sister and the calm Fourth Martial Sister, even Hong Yi was greatly affected. And of course, the jade rabbit.
Damn it, why?
The jade rabbit began to question her purpose in life.
When she first joined Qiongming Peak, it had only been An Lan. Over time, the number of people increased.
It might have been livelier, but it also meant more setbacks.
In the past three years, she had advanced from the peak of the Golden Core Stage to the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage. While her progress was steady, it paled in comparison to others on Qiongming Peak.
[I’m sorry, I’ve embarrassed everyone.]
Even putting Bai Lian aside.
In just three years, Xiao Jinse and Su Youwei had broken through to the later stages of the Golden Core, while Yu Ying had reached the Nascent Soul stage and could catch up with her at any time.
Was she meant to live like this forever?
The jade rabbit became increasingly sensitive about this issue.
She feared that one day, she would wake up to find Ling Xuan had surpassed her.
But before that day could come, the jade rabbit received news that made her even more uneasy.
Su Youwei had unexpectedly helped Bai Lian.
Even the Immortals descending from the heavens could not withstand Bai Lian’s sword when she unleashed all her power.
Hearing this news suddenly, the jade rabbit nearly lost her balance and almost fell off the window.
She could feel an explosive surge of vitality in Su Youwei’s body, and under this energy, Su Youwei’s cultivation base was growing at an astonishing rate.
If this continues, it won’t be long before Su Youwei surpasses her.
No, no, no!
She would only accept Bai Lian being stronger than her!
