Chapter 2: Bai Lian and An Lan Get Closer and Closer
That feeling is actually no different from being poked by a toothpick.
Under normal circumstances, Bai Lian wouldn’t have any reaction.
She can even completely ignore this level of teasing.
"Just like this?"
Died laughing.
You should know that even when Fourth Martial Sister launched a series of continuous attacks towards her with her sharp sword, she still remained composed.
This pitiful little toothpick-like thing is even more unworthy of her attention.
Unfortunately, Bai Lian’s physical condition is very poor now.
Her body has suffered a lot.
First, she was seriously injured in the battle with the green shadow.
Afterwards, she exhausted her energy during the process of assisting the fourth Martial Sister in "tempering the sword".
In the end, she was pressed on the ground by her master for some rubbing, causing damage to her waist.
Her soul was also not in good condition.
Her soul remained intact during the tempering with the fourth Martial Sister.
However, the pressure from the green shadow and the "Memory Erasure Method" from her master made her just want to have a good sleep.
Under the overlap of two factors, Bai Lian’s body felt both sensitive and fragile at this moment.
Therefore, even just being pricked by a toothpick would make her tremble as if she had been pierced by a long spear.
Damn it.
Relying on the fourth Martial Sister’s shoulder, Bai Lian pulled her right fist tightly.
Her soul is likely very special.
Even the separated imprints have a super strong sense of perception.
Therefore, even if she didn’t see it with her own eyes, she knew her master was up to no good.
Fortunately, she wasn’t doing anything important at the moment, such as suddenly appearing during the night class for the Martial Sisters…
The image of the "brilliant and martial" Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian that she had portrayed in front of the Martial Sisters would be collapse!
The consequences are unimaginable.
If this were to happen in a game, Bai Lian thinks she would probably be attacked by the Martial Sisters!
[Defeated CG]
As Bai Lian was lost in thought, a hand suddenly reached out from beside her, firmly gripping her fist.
Then, the fourth Martial Sister’s gentle voice rang out, "Elder Martial Sister, we are about to your room".
"Hmm."
Bai Lian forced a smile on her pale face.
She was somewhat grateful that the fourth Martial Sister was by her side.
Otherwise, if remotely manipulated by her master in this way, she would be completely unable to walk on her own.
Taking just one step would mean assuming the risk of "being submerged by water, utterly helpless".
Damn it!
Bai Lian was so infuriated.
She anxiously twisted and closed her thighs together.
If she doesn’t take revenge, where can she put her face? What about the great dream?
Finally, after enduring for more than twenty breaths, Yu Ying held Bai Lian and put her on the bed.
"Elder Martial Sister."
Yu Ying covered Bai Lian with a blanket.
Instead of leaving immediately, she sat by the bed with a look of guilt on her face.
Bai Lian raised her hand with difficulty and touched her lowered head.
"I’m fine, just need to rest a bit. You should go and rest now. You just received the Original Dragon’s inheritance, it’s better to digest it as soon as possible."
Yu Ying nodded.
When it came to the inheritance of the Original Dragon, she felt even more distressed.
She lowered her head and confessed her wrongdoing, "It’s my fault, all because of me. If I didn’t insist on pulling you, Elder Martial Sister, to temper the sword, and if I wasn’t so greedy, always wanting to go deeper…"
Before she could finish her sentence, the hand that had been above her head just now quickly covered her mouth as if it had teleported.
"Wuwuwu…"
Yu Ying widened her eyes and looked at Bai Lian’s face, which had turned pale, with confusion.
Bai Lian, lying in bed, was violently trembling in her chest, like waves swaying. There were beads of sweat constantly dripping from her forehead and neck.
She was sure that her master was watching them closely.
If she had been slower just now, the fourth Martial Sister would have revealed what they did on the boat.
The consequences would have been…
Thinking back to the "harsh" words her master had said earlier, she now truly understood their meaning.
"???"
Just as Bai Lian had expected, An Lan stopped what she was doing.
Her ears perked up slightly.
Sadly, she wasn’t able to capture any useful intelligence.
Tempering the sword?
Deeper?
What does it mean?
Why didn’t they continue to say more?
An Lan gritted her teeth but ultimately restrained herself from asking Bai Lian.
She couldn’t let Bai Lian know what she was currently doing.
Inside the room.
Calmed down, Bai Lian moved her hand and smiled, "You are my Martial Sister. Even if you have done something wrong, I will do my best to accommodate you."
"Hmm."
Yu Ying nodded slightly.
She understood Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian’s meaning now. Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian was afraid that this matter would be spread to other Elder Martial Sisters!
She was really confused and almost made a big mistake, destroying her own happiness.
Her relationship with Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian had long reached the stage of "you in me, I in you."
How could she not understand Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian’s intentions?
"Accommodate?"
She also wanted to accommodate Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian.
"Elder Martial Sister, after you recover, I will try even harder to make you happy."
"???"
Bai Lian looked bewilderedly at the Fourth Martial Sister, who was smiling cheerfully.
Is this getting closer?
Speak quickly, are you disguised Si Yunshang!
Skipping the topic lightly, Yu Ying got up to say goodbye, walking outside in her delicate white shoes.
The loose coat swayed in the evening breeze.
The outfit, revealing slightly her shoulders, set off her gentle and fluid appearance.
If unaware of the inside story, no one could imagine that such a peaceful pond would stir up such tremendous waves.
"However…"
At the moment the door closed, Bai Lian lifted her head.
In "The Battle of the Gods", compared to the sincere and reliable second Martial Sister and the third Martial Sister who is as cold as ice, the fourth Martial Sister is indeed a very contradictory person.
She appears as quiet as a lady from a distinguished family in her daily life.
But once engaged in combat, she becomes as terrifying as a human meat grinder.
With a single sword strike, she can send blood splattering and flesh flying from her enemies.
In order to rapidly enhance her cultivation base and eliminate Marquis Wu’an and Xu Pan, this pair of good friends, the fourth Martial Sister didn’t hesitate to resort to "devouring others".
In this genre of gratification novels, the term "devour" refers to the act of forcibly usurping the opponent’s cultivation base and integrating it into one’s own.
At first, Bai Lian thought it was due to the influence of the Original Dragon inheritance on the fourth Martial Sister.
Upon reflection, it may not be entirely accurate.
It’s possible that the fourth Martial Sister’s inherent temperament was already quite "fiery", and it was her experiences in Marquis Wu’an’s mansion and Xingluo Fortress that made her become more reticent.
"There’s no need to get hung up on that."
Bai Lian lay back on the bed.
The ★ twinkled underneath her gaze.
Understanding a person involves a journey from the surface to depth.
Now she has reached this step, sooner or later she will truly touch the core of the fourth Martial Sister.
Actually, such things are not important.
Whether the fourth Martial Sister is gentle or fierce, she is still the fourth Martial Sister.
Their paths may be different, but their destination is the same. It is difficult to distinguish between you and me.
Speaking of this, Bai Lian remembered the plot related to the fourth Martial Sister in the game.
The description of the Immortal World in "The Battle of the Gods" mostly remains on the surface. Therefore, in the game, the fourth Martial Sister’s real ultimate bosses that need to be defeated are Marquis Wu’an and Xu Pan.
The cultivation base of those two individuals was originally high, and it is even more surprising that these two individuals are as hard to kill as a cockroach.
They encountered life-threatening situations time and again, but instead of dying, they become increasingly stronger. In the end, they could even compete with the master of the Taixuan Taoist Sect.
If it weren’t for the fact that the Gate of All Living Beings they crafted was insufficiently refined, they might have been able to avenge the shame of the Heluo’s first emperor’s death and slay the master of the Taixuan Taoist Sect on the Da Mang Mountain.
Nowadays, the fourth Martial Sister’s strength has skyrocketed, and she only needs to completely digest the Original Dragon inheritance to compete with an ordinary Transmigration Stage cultivator.
It seems it’s also time to figure out a way to eliminate the threats of Marquis Wu’an and Xu Pan.
Bai Lian thought of the eldest princess.
One thing that needs to be noted is that the second and third Martial Sisters’ mentality has changed.
If they were to learn about the true strength of the fourth Martial Sister, would they be discouraged because of it?
We must find a way to help them improve their cultivation base.
Bai Lian made up her mind.
At the moment, there’s no complete idea in her mind, so let’s leave that for future contemplation.
Actually, the safest approach is to ask for help from her master.
Although the cultivation base of the majestic Immortal Heavenly Lord has declined, it would be effortless to enhance the cultivation base of a few novice disciples.
However…
Bai Lian was very angry now.
Does the person who remotely stimulates her own disciple have the face to call herself Immortal Heavenly Lord?
Humph!
Bai Lian’s revenge came very quickly.
Later in the night.
After lying in bed for a while, most of her fatigue disappeared.
The surging tide had long since dissipated.
In contrast, An Lan fell asleep after fiddling around for a while.
Without hesitation, Bai Lian launched a counterattack as soon as she caught this point.
The master could stimulate her body by stimulating her Soul Imprint, and she could also tease the master by controlling her own Soul Imprint.
Soul Imprint, let’s do this!
And so it was.
An Lan, who was in a deep slumber, suddenly twisted uncomfortably.
Some unclear sounds were coming out of her mouth.
Upon careful listening, they were probably phrases such as "Don’t touch me, go away", "What do you, a traitor, want?", "I will expel you from the sect."
Bai Lian’s room and An Lan’s mountain cave were both filled with joyful energy.
The difference is that the sound of the water drops falling along the stalactites in An Lan’s cave is crisper.
Tick-tock.
Tick-tock–
The usually cold water droplets seemed to have a slight warmth today.
Suddenly, An Lan’s squirming body became still.
She tightly embraced the blanket, as if holding onto someone.
Bai Lian ceased to compel the Soul Imprint.
She saw her master’s small face, which was as big as a palm, wrinkled, with endless sorrow and confusion in his brows and eyes.
She couldn’t resist the urge to reach out and touch her master’s cheek.
However, she restrained herself and simply watched her master quietly.
As if she was regarding the most precious gift in the world with solemnity.
Time slowly passed by.
Suddenly.
Bai Lian grabbed the Future Mirror placed on the dressing table.
She gazed at the somewhat haggard young woman in the mirror.
Can’t be wrong.
Her facial features really resembled her master by about seventy percent!
What does this mean?
Bai Lian doesn’t understand.
She only knew that she didn’t notice this while playing the game.
She held up her face with her hand, gazing blankly at the dim stars in the dawn sky outside the window.
October is coming to an end and a new year is approaching.
Next year will be the seventh year since she met her master, right?
There is a saying about the seven-year itch, but she wonders if her relationship with her master is worthy of such a premise.
Finally.
When the first ray of light appeared on the horizon, An Lan’s voice rang in Bai Lian’s ear.
"Why did you do this?"
"?"
Bai Lian turned abruptly, and all she could see was the increasingly green twisted-neck tree.
She thought her master was right behind her.
It turned out that her master was still sleep-talking.
The master’s face contorted even more fiercely.
"Why?"
Yes.
Why?
Bai Lian bit her lip.
She saw a pure tear slide down suddenly.
Tick-tock~
Bai Lian lifted the covers and hurriedly ran out of the room.
She felt that she had made a mistake.
She wanted to apologize to her master in person!
And just as she was running, An Lan, who was asleep, woke up.
She sat on the edge of the bed with her bare feet, her eyes filled with some confusion.
Just now, she had a dream.
She dreamt that Bai Lian was bullying her despite her objections. She attempted to resist but found herself powerless. Eventually, she gave up fighting back.
"Once I regain my strength, I will banish you, as a traitor, from the Duxian Sect!"
"The Immortal Heavenly Lord can’t be dishonored!"
Just as she was speaking harsh words to Bai Lian, her dream suddenly changed again.
Bai Lian was gone.
She seemed to have traveled through a hundred years, and crossed over the barrier between the mortal and immortal realm, returning to the day when Red Dust Heavenly Lord betrayed her in secret.
"Why did I do this?"
The woman dressed in red, with a dark red cross-shaped mark on her forehead, remained silent.
In response to An Lan’s question, was the Ten Thousand Calamities Refining Cultivation Method that had reached its utmost level of cultivation, together with the Taiyi Divine Wheel that had gathered ten Heavenly Lord marks.
The world barrier she reluctantly upheld was shattered.
Even so, she wouldn’t die.
Her cultivation base is much higher than Red Dust Heavenly Lord’s, and it is not a gap that can be bridged in just a short ten thousand years, even if Red Dust Heavenly Lord has been planning for this day for a long time.
But for some forgotten reason, she didn’t dodge it, and instead took on Red Dust Heavenly Lord’s strongest blow head-on.
And then…
"It turned out into the present situation."
An Lan tightly held onto the sheet under her bottom.
She just didn’t want to experience being betrayed again by the person she trusted the most.
She just wanted the person she cared about to care about her more.
She didn’t do anything wrong.
She…
An Lan raised her hand, and the traces of tears at the corners of her eyes had not yet completely dried, so she gently wiped them away, leaving obvious wet marks.
Thump thump.
At that moment, An Lan’s heart couldn’t help but beat rapidly.
Even though she pressed her chest, she couldn’t stop all of this.
She was in a flurry and tried to stand up.
As a result, her right foot accidentally hit the table.
Bang.
With a light sound, An Lan fell heavily onto the bed, hitting her own waist precisely.
"…"
Is this what it feels like to have back pain?
An Lan got up, after wiping her sleeve a few times, she ran towards the outside of the cave in a hurry.
She stopped as soon as she emerged from the cave.
Because she saw Bai Lian approaching from outside.
Although she didn’t know what Bai Lian was coming for, it was not important.
An Lan walked rapidly towards Bai Lian.
She mustered up the courage.
At the same time, Bai Lian also opened her mouth.
"I am sorry."
"I am sorry."
Two identical sentences collided with each other, making the cold morning breeze suddenly a bit warmer.
"Why are you apologizing?"
"Why are you apologizing?"
"I…"
"I…"
"…"
"…"
After a while, Bai Lian broke the silence by speaking first.
"I had promised that I would be fine, but in the end, I ended up worrying my master. Also, I did something that offended my master just now."
Offend me?
Never mind, it’s not important.
An Lan’s gaze wandered, but she finally managed to focus on Bai Lian.
"Do you remember what you said to me before?"
"?"
"You said you would wait for the day when I voluntarily tell you about my past."
Hey?
Is the master preparing to reveal everything?
Bai Lian immediately nodded and said, "Yes."
An Lan breathed a sigh of relief.
She still remembered.
"Come with me."
She pulled Bai Lian to sit on a tree branch extending from the cliff.
With the slow rising of the sun, she said, "I have an enemy, who used to be one of the people I trust the most. I saved her and brought her into cultivation by my side… she was like my disciple…"
An Lan didn’t mention the person’s name.
But that is no longer important.
Although the master was talking about a very heavy past, Bai Lian’s smiling face didn’t stop for a moment.
It was a gentle smile.
She felt it, she was getting closer and closer to the master, not just physically!
An Lan glared fiercely at Bai Lian and said, "Rebel, are you even listening to me?"
Of course I am.
It’s precisely because I listened that I became happy and laughed.
Bai Lian leaned forward and bravely hugged her master.
"I will always accompany my master."
An Lan’s body stiffened.
She didn’t struggle, only whispered, "That person also said similar words."
Bai Lian said, "I am different from her."
An Lan remained silent.
Well…
I will tentatively believe what you said!
Today is a beautiful day.
