Chapter 15: Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian Has an Upright Character

"Umm…"

This was Bai Lian’s last utterance after the winter wind blew open the window.

The gentle impact caused her to tilt backwards until her back came into contact with the wall next to the window frame.

She instinctively straightened her chest.

However, she encountered obstacles from the "Wangwu" and "Taihang" mountains.

Obviously, she was not as foolish as Yugong in the ancient Chinese fable called "The Foolish Yugong Who Removed the Mountains".

She also didn’t have the time to learn from Yugong how to move mountains.

After a brief moment of intimate contact, Bai Lian’s tense body relaxed and she sank back onto the dressing table.

Very close.

Her eyes widened, and she was just a hair’s breadth away from touching the second Martial Sister’s eyelashes.

At this moment, the second Martial Sister had her eyes closed, appearing serene as a fairy lost in a delightful dream.

But Bai Lian knew that all of this was just superficial!

The Spiritual Root of the second Martial Sister is of fire attribute.

Whether it was in the past or present, she was always a volcano inherently containing immense power.

A volcano may seem harmless when inactive, even cute.

But once she started to express her emotions outwardly.

Hmm.

Just wait to be ignited!

Bai Lian sensed a mobile blaze in her mouth.

The flames stimulated her soul, attempting to burn her whole being into ashes.

Even more terrifying, under the attack of the second Martial Sister, the flames showed a trend of intensifying.

The Holy Spirit Goddess greedily sought to grasp everything!

Due to the sudden occurrence, the second Martial Sister firmly held Bai Lian’s hands and feet, placing her in an extremely disadvantageous position.

Fortunately, the winter wind kept blowing against her ears, bringing her a coolness, which prevented her from being completely confused by the burning flame in her heart.

She blinked intensely.

This situation with the second Martial Sister is too abnormal!

This scene did remind her of a plot in the game.

In the game, the second Martial Sister also did a similar thing to "Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian".

Compared to now, that was much more excessive.

Being able to gain the upper hand over "Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian" indicates that the offensive and defensive situation has completely reversed. This means the game has progressed to the point where the second Martial Sister has "risen to prominence" and is in the stage of taking revenge on "Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian" and crushing her underfoot.

At that stage, the second Martial Sister had already been corrupted.

Everything she did to "Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian" was for revenge. Since it was revenge, she naturally could not show any mercy. She used whatever means she had.

Does it hurt?

Good, that means it’s working.

Do you feel ashamed?

This is called to treat you in the same way you treat others.

The scene was somewhat brutal, so brutal that Bai Lian didn’t want to recall it.

Then she remembered the words spoken by the Second Martial Sister some time ago.

In the game, "Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian" and the Second Martial Sister also did something similar.

Separated by a thin wall, the third Martial Sister was complaining to the second Martial Sister about the atrocities of "Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian".

However, the third Martial Sister would never have guessed that "Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian" was just next door, carrying out her "instructions" to harshly "bully" the second Martial Sister.

But then again, those who know "Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian" know that she is a wicked person.

Among all the bad things she had done, this was not even on the list; there were much more shameless things.

Otherwise, the four Martial Sisters would not have fought against each other in most of the game lines.

Bah bah bah.

As Bai Lian came back to reality from her imagination, she quickly clasped the hand of the second Martial Sister.

Do not be too greedy!

She doesn’t mind doing more intimate things with the second Martial Sister.

But as soon as she thought of the third Martial Sister living next door, separated only by a one-finger-thick wooden wall, she quickly calmed down.

Yes.

There is a shielded magic array in her room.

But who can guarantee that this magic array won’t suddenly have an accident and leak out the sound at a critical moment?

Bai Lian was more afraid when she and the second Martial Sister were "having fun playing" and the Master suddenly came back.

This magic array is indeed very powerful, but it cannot resist the Master’s investigation.

If this happened elsewhere, the Master might forgive her.

At least she knew to hide herself somehow!

However, this is in her room.

[You’re actually doing such a thing in front of three Martial Sisters and the jade rabbit. You… rebels, have lost your morality and have poor character. I won’t spare you today!]

Just thinking about it, Bai Lian shivered.

She attempted to push the second Martial Sister away, but apprehended that doing so could inflict deeper harm upon her already injured heart.

After hesitating for quite some time, Bai Lian finally made up her mind.

We cannot be weak when faced with such things, we have to be tough!

Are you trying to show off?

You’ve got it all wrong.

How dare the second Martial Sister crawl up onto my head!

She directly launched a counterattack and suppressed the imminent eruption of the volcano.

"Hmm…"

Under the dressing table.

Two legs wrapped in pantyhose kicked randomly, finally, with a loud bang, kicked the stool over.

A moment later.

Xiao Jinse kept stepping back and eventually sat down on the ground. She was breathing heavily and dared not look at Bai Lian anymore.

Obviously.

Under Bai Lian’s tutelage, she has come to a profound realization of her mistakes and shortcomings.

No wonder Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian often admonished her.

["Learning is not just about acquiring theoretical knowledge. Even if you have gained abundant theoretical knowledge, you will not be able to demonstrate it if you lack practical experience."]

Compared to Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian, she is too weak and small!

Bai Lian lowered her legs from the table.

She is not the type to easily lose her cool, so she has no plans to continue lecturing the second Martial Sister.

She extended her tongue and lightly scraped off the glistening substance stuck to the corner of her mouth.

Now, she understood what it meant to "savor something with great delight".

Ancient culture is truly vast and profound!

Her toes, wrapped in white socks, lightly touched the ground and appeared translucent due to the perspiration that had soaked through.

Afterwards, she crouched down and straightened out her wrinkled socks, then pulled them up around her slender waist.

After finishing everything, Bai Lian finally helped up the fallen chair beside her.

Sit!

After sitting down, she placed her right leg over her left and looked directly at the second Martial Sister while supporting her chin with her right hand. Patiently, she asked,

"Martial Sister, as I just mentioned, whatever troubles, dissatisfactions, or needs you have, you can tell me. I am your Elder Martial Sister and will do my best to fulfill them."

Xiao Jinse’s body trembled lightly.

She lifted her head, wanting to meet Bai Lian’s gaze, but fearing to be burned.

"Elder Martial Sister, do you not blame me? I have clearly just done something insulting to you."

Bai Lian’s eyes drooped downward, radiating a soft light, with a slight upward curve at the corner of her mouth.

She was smiling.

Insult?

It’s better to let Martial Sisters and Master come to insult her together. She is a seasoned warrior with extremely strong mental fortitude and is not afraid at all.

This version of Bai Lian seemed to display gentleness, which was infused with irresistible charm.

Is this what maturity is?

Xiao Jinse felt dizzy, especially when Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian said the word "I don’t blame you", causing an infinite sense of regret to surge in her heart.

Why?

She propped herself up with both hands on the ground.

She felt too despicable, she was not worthy of being Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian’s Martial Sister!

Despicable, despicable, despicable…

At the same time, a new option appeared in Bai Lian’s mind.

[Task 1: Continue with the previous topic (Reward: Red Fire Sulfur)]

[Task 2: Approaching the second Martial Sister, "I might have been too insistent with my questioning earlier, so take your time to decide and come to me when you’re ready. Remember, martial sister, you’ve been my martial sister in the past, you are my martial sister now, and you will be in the future." (Reward: Soft Skill +2)]

Red Fire Sulfur, being a dual attribute material of fire and poison, doesn’t seem to be a legitimate substance at the first glance.

Bai Lian resolutely chose Task 2.

Isn’t it just holding hands? How dangerous could it possibly be?

She set down her foot and walked quickly to the second Martial Sister.

"I might have been too…"

"Elder Martial Sister."

Xiao Jinse looked up.

Her eyes revealed anxiety.

Really, what is there to be anxious about?

Bai Lian patted the shoulder of the second Martial Sister and pulled her up.

Seeing that the second Martial Sister’s clothes and trousers were messy, she kindly straightened them out for her.

Pa~

She clapped a few more times and said, "Go back and rest well tonight."

Xiao Jinse nodded weakly and replied, "Yes, Elder Martial Sister."

She walked towards the door unsteadily.

When she reached the doorway, Bai Lian suddenly called me out, "There’s something I almost forgot to tell you."

"Yes?"

Xiao Jinse turned around.

Bai Lian smiled and said, "Once we deal with Xu Pan’s threat, I’ll take you to the Sword Washing Pavilion to seek justice. Although we made a ten-year agreement, the situation is now turbulent. If we delay, those people may cause trouble again. Use this time to focus on cultivation, and you’ll soon be able to break through to the Soul Changing stage."

"…"

Xiao Jinse widened her eyes.

The wind blew in through the crack of the open door.

It blew on the felt draped over her, and the fire in her eyes ignited.

Isn’t this the time she wanted to be alone with Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian?

So it turned out that Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian had never ignored her, it was all because she had been too timid.

"Hmm!"

Xiao Jinse forcibly nodded her head.

Then she quickly pushed the door and ran back to her own room, not even taking off her socks, and jumped directly onto the bed, burying herself under the blanket.

In the darkness.

Xiao Jinse carefully drew a horizontal line on her wrist.

She drew this line with a heavy and steady hand.

She remembers that when Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian was instructing the third Martial Sister, she wrote the word "正" on the third Martial Sister’s wrist. Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian intended to remind the third Martial Sister to promote the spirit of righteousness and suppress her internal demons.

As expected, the third Martial Sister later turned her internal demon into her good sister.

Today, she also wants to learn from Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian about the unique spirit of righteousness of the Qiongming Peak.

From now on, if she ever commits any act of disrespect towards Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian, she will draw an extra line on her wrist to remind herself!

Xiao Jinse’s goal is to make this character always stay on the first line.

It can’t turn into a complete character no matter what, right?

Yes.

That’s it!

With a grin on her face, Xiao Jinse curled up and slept under the blankets.

On the other side.

Bai Lian waved and closed the door, before saving the fifth Martial Sister’s grandfather, she had to clean up the room.

But before taking action, she felt a sense of strangeness and crouched down.

The originally dry wooden floor was seen to be moistened, with trickling water droplets rolling to the tips of her socks, soaking her socks and feet.

"It’s raining!" Bai Lian looked outside the window.

She remembered that the second Martial Sister was just sitting here a moment ago.

"This water…"

It’s raining spring inside the house, and winter outside the house!

She directly wiped the water on the ground with her hands, poured it into the bottle, lifted her foot, and twisted the water from her socks into the bottle.

This water is very cold and heavy in Yin qi, but far inferior to Taiyin water.

After a sigh, Bai Lian set the bottles filled with water from the ground onto the table and started working.

…

This is a restless night.

Inside the room.

Xiao Jinse was holding onto the bar and had just fallen asleep.

Su Youwei and Hong Yi slept soundly, their lips curved into a genuine smile, while indulging in their dreams of honing their skills with Bai Lian.

Yu Ying swiftly unsheathed her sword and practiced her sword skill.

The jade rabbit gazed quietly at the restless Ling Xuan, who kept tossing and turning in her sleep.

After a long time, the girl finally stopped rolling, but she seemed to have woken up from a chaotic dream.

She turned to the side, seemingly contemplating something. Suddenly, she reached out her hand from under the blanket, and with haphazard movements, grabbed the jade rabbit.

"Chirp chirp chirp…"

The jade rabbit immediately began to struggle violently.

But her strength seemed extremely weak in front of Ling Xuan, she struggled several times but failed to escape, and was instead firmly locked up.

"…"

The back of the jade rabbit was tightly pressed against a "steel plate", and its hind legs drooped weakly.

After a while, her ears suddenly shook with force.

Snap!

After two beats, Ling Xuan woke up from a semi-dream state.

"Is it raining?"

Ling Xuan, who was wearing pajamas, stood on the bed looking around. She held the jade rabbit tighter.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp!"

The anger of the jade rabbit grew even stronger.

Damn it! I accompanied you to practice boxing, acted as your punching bag, and even fed you, but you didn’t even spare me when you went to sleep.

I’m going to find Bai Lian to complain!

Ling Xuan suddenly realized, "Martial Sister Jade Rabbit, what are you doing here?"

"Chirp chirp chirp!"

The jade rabbit kicked Ling Xuan in the stomach.

Ling Xuan, instead, laughed even more happily, sitting down in the lotus position and placing the jade rabbit on her lap.

"Martial Sister Jade Rabbit, I dreamt of you just now."

"?"

"Martial Sister Jade Rabbit looks so cool with a sword!"

The jade rabbit’s ears rolled up, it seems like she has only ever sparred with Ling Xuan.

Ling Xuan continued, "Not only did I dream of Martial Sister Jade Rabbit, but also of Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian, the Second Elder Martial Sister, the Third Elder Martial Sister, the Fourth Elder Martial Sister, and our Master. Although I didn’t dream of Elder Martial Sister Hong Yi."

The jade rabbit rolled its eyes.

It was just a dream, there’s nothing worth fussing about.

Ling Xuan said, "Just before waking up, I dreamed of the very green Lord of Reincarnation."

"Hmm?"

The ear of the jade rabbit snapped straight.

"Chirp, chirp. (What did he say to you?)"

The jade rabbit quickly wrote characters.

Ling Xuan scratched her head and pondered seriously for a moment. "He said that I am more suitable for cultivating The Path of Yin and Yang than Sister Bu."

As she spoke, she pressed her fist down on the jade rabbit’s head.

Yin-Yang Unify, the God of War strikes!

Get away, get away, get away.

The jade rabbit immediately pushed back Ling Xuan’s fist.

"Chirp, chirp (nothing else to say?)"

Ling Xuan shook her head, and later she woke up, only to find Martial Sister Jade Rabbit being used as her pillow.

How terrible!

Oh, I see.

The jade rabbit, who had finally managed to break free from its bonds, flicked its ears.

"Chirp-chirp!"

Since I cannot comprehend it, let’s go ask Bai Lian.

She took the lead, leading Ling Xuan straight to Bai Lian’s room.

At that moment, Bai Lian was dealing with important matters, so there was no unexpected occurrence.

"Did you dream about the Lord of Reincarnation?"

Bai Lian stopped her work.

She didn’t think that the dream was just a simple dream. Thinking this, she said:

"Don’t rush me, let me think."

Although she said she would think, Bai Lian immediately messaged her master for help.

When it comes to external matters, consult the system; when it comes to internal matters, seek guidance from the master!

She thought her master would take a while to reply, but An Lan’s efficiency exceeded her expectations.

An Lan, "Please wait a moment."

Bai Lian began to reply, "Well, master, I haven’t…"

Splash.

Suddenly, a rift tore open in the air and An Lan casually walked out of it.

"Where is everyone?"

"Master!"

Ling Xuan bounced out.

"Okay."

An Lan took a step forward and lifted her hand to touch Ling Xuan’s head.

In that moment, just as the hand was about to fall, she suddenly stopped and wrinkled her nose lightly.

"Master?"

Bai Lian called out in confusion.

She saw An Lan turn around leisurely and walk until she reached the spot where the second Martial Sister had been sitting not long ago.

An Lan caught a whiff of a very faint scent and also noticed a water stain.

Bai Lian’s heart tightened and her mouth slightly opened.

After pausing there for a moment, An Lan walked slowly to the dressing table and her gaze fell on the bottle.

For a moment, everyone’s gaze was focused on the bottle.

"Ahem!"

Bai Lian quickly took two steps forward and casually said, "The rain is getting heavier, I wonder how many crops will die because of this."

Creak.

The window was shut.

Bai Lian "conveniently" tidied up the things on the dressing table, all of which she put in her chest, until the dressing table was completely cleaned up. She turned around and said, "Master, don’t catch a cold."

An Lan stared at Bai Lian quietly.

The room was strangely quiet.

Nobody dared to breathe, and it was not known how long had passed until An Lan finally looked away.

"Don’t worry, I won’t catch a cold."

She beckoned to Ling Xuan, "Come here."

"Yes, master."

Ling Xuan ran over joyfully.

Watching this scene, Bai Lian’s anxious heart eased a bit.

It should…probably not be a big deal, right?

After all, the system didn’t give any hints, and she and the Second Martial Sister didn’t do anything wrong.

Anyway, Bai Lian still felt guilty.

The terrible sense of oppression just now almost scared her urine.

She walked softly to the side of her master and the fifth Martial Sister, and asked, "Master, is this dream real or fake?"

An Lan said, "This is a good thing."

That’s good!

Bai Lian took a deep breath.

This is the inheritance of a Heavenly Lord!

Martial Sister Tong Yao obtained the physique of the Lord of Reincarnation, while the fifth Martial Sister obtained the cultivation method of the Lord of Reincarnation. Both of them have a bright future!

In order to see this future, she also needs to work harder.

The search for the Ancient Starry Sky Road has now ended, and what she is going to look for next is the secrets hidden in the East Divine Land.

Let’s begin with the Sansheng Stele that was given to her by the Lord of Reincarnation before he left. She now has two steles in her hand and is only missing one, the Monument of the Next World.

At this moment, An Lan said, "Ling Xuan, you go to my cave and wait for me."

"Yes."

Ling Xuan left.

An Lan said again, "Yaoguang Rabbit, you also go back to your own room."

"Chirp chirp."

The jade rabbit, who was afraid of An Lan, dared not refuse and also left.

Only Bai Lian and An Lan were left in the room.

An Lan smiled and reached out her hand to Bai Lian. "Hand it over!"

"Huh?"

Bai Lian was stunned for a moment.

An Lan continued, "That bottle."

"Bottle? What bottle?"

Bai Lian was stunned. She thought she had successfully avoided the crisis, but she didn’t expect her master to be waiting here.

Oh no!
