Chapter 17: Taking the Main Road, Not the Backdoor!
Xiao Jinse contemplated for a long time.
She believed that since her master had spoken so openly, she had tacitly agreed to her relationship with Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian.
Could this be considered approval from the "main wife"?!
No matter what Xiao Jinse and Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian have been through, their feelings cannot compare to the relationship between Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian and their master.
Not to mention Elder Marshal Sister Bai Lian’s perseverance in going through billions of calculations to save their master and never giving up.
Merely from the unfailing companionship beginning from Master’s old home, they had already engraved upon each other’s lives.
Xiao Jinse didn’t expect to kick her Master aside and monopolize Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian for herself.
Presently, the situation was quite favorable.
Although Su Youwei was quite unpleasant, if they were to come together and become excited, they would not care about this annoyance.
To say that it was annoying, it was not really so.
She only disliked Su Youwei because she was competing with her for Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian.
Once she accepted the current situation, she seemed to have no reason to hate Su Youwei anymore.
Leaving aside these emotions and taking another look at Su Youwei, Xiao Jinse felt that the guy was actually quite adorable!
Despite her childish appearance, the Third Martial Sister has a habit of wearing revealing clothing that emphasizes her bust, abdomen, and thighs, which is a signature style of dressing in the Sand Region.
She just likes to wear them. Every time Su Youwei walks past her, she secretly looks at her chest, clenches her fists, and shows an unwilling expression on her face.
Because she noticed this, she occasionally deliberately wears tight or revealing clothing to show off in front of Su Youwei.
Seeing Su Youwei unable to eat snacks due to anger, all the gloom in her heart will be instantly swept away, and she becomes full of energy.
"Upon careful consideration, I have come to realize that I am indeed a great villain."
Xiao Jinse smiled lightly.
She and Su Youwei would never feel bored living under the same roof.
She even began to look forward to the future battles with Su Youwei, as she had the advantage.
However…
Such a future could not last forever.
If the cloud named Red Dust above her head cannot be swept away, the joy and laughter with Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian and others can only last for a while, and cannot be sustained for a long time.
This is something Xiao Jinse cannot accept.
Although her master said that she and Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian have done everything they should do in countless simulations, and have had a sweet life in seclusion, she doesn’t have any relevant memories.
"Not enough, far from enough!"
Xiao Jinse looked at her tender and fair hands.
Even if those memories come back, she is still not satisfied.
She wanted to use these hands to uncover the beauty that belonged only to her present self!
The ancestor from ancient times passed down his legacy, hoping that future generations could break free from the intertwined fate of the past?
Even if low as dust, I want to shine a little longer in this long river of time.
A hundred years is not enough, let’s fight for ten thousand years!
"I also want to give it a try!"
Xiao Jinse raised her head, after sweeping away all the confusion in her heart, she confronted An Lan who was standing at the door without any hesitation.
She stood there, straight and tall, her eyes shining with a scorching blaze like the sun.
This is her fighting spirit.
At this moment, she is undoubtedly a warrior fighting for her own future with a sword in her hand!
No clouds, no storms, no invisible darkness can scare her away!
Xiao Jinse is not afraid of her master’s inquiry into her true intentions.
What is there to conceal?
Even if surrounded by onlookers and despised by others, she could shout fearlessly –
[I just want to stick to Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian!]
An Lan was infected by the momentum emanating from Xiao Jinse.
For the first time, she felt a real responsibility from this disciple, and all of this seemed to be because of Bai Lian.
She turned her head and looked at Bai Lian who had just jumped off the window.
With the tip of her toes, the water rhythm started on its own.
She walked with graceful steps, and her silk socks kicked up dust.
This traitor…
Despite having already abandoned her Blank Tao identity, why does she still possess such deadly allure to other women?
She recalled the reckless incident in the cave that day. Despite having made ample preparations and taken advantageous positions, she was still defeated early on.
It was impossible for her alone to keep a watchful eye on Bai Lian, as expected!
An Lan turned back with a friendly smile, "Once you enter this room, there’s no turning back. I suggest you think it over some more."
For the Second Martial Sister, this is also an important decision, isn’t it?
Bai Lian thought to herself.
However, when facing such a major issue, Xiao Jinse is much more decisive than her. The young girl vigorously shook her head and directly expressed her heart with the famous saying, "Although death is at hand, regrets never follow!"
The warm smile, like morning sunshine, reflected in the eyes of An Lan and Bai Lian.
The mountaintop in late spring suddenly became vivid.
Bai Lian’s eyes trembled involuntarily.
She slightly parted her lips, unsure of how to respond to the Second Martial Sister. The only thought lingering in her mind at this moment was – "Wonderful!"
She took a step forward and gently embraced the Second Martial Sister, with everything understood without words.
However, all of this was only the beginning, the appearance of Xiao Jinse pried open a doorway.
Since she started, one after another person walked out of their rooms and coincidentally walked to the door of Bai Lian’s room.
Their demeanor may be different, their posture may be different, and they may not say the same thing, but the message they are conveying is exactly the same!
"I also want to stand by Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian’s side!"
No one was content with the short-lived peace of a hundred years. Instead of waiting for Red Dust to come and spill blood, it is better to take the initiative and strive for a more colorful future.
"Are you going too?"
With a complex expression, An Lan looked at Ling Xuan who was standing timidly in front of her.
Ling Xuan and the jade rabbit were left behind at the end.
The jade rabbit can’t speak human language and its ears wavered as it directly ran towards Bai Lian’s arms before she could ask any question, even if it had to confront a lot of deadly glares, it was fearless.
This courage is enough to prove that she wants to do something big with Bai Lian.
Ling Xuan is not as persistent.
Upon her inquiry, the youngest disciple pinched her clothes, then raised her fist.
"Master and Elder Martial Sister are going, so I’m going too!"
An Lan said, "Now is not the…"
Ling Xuan replied, "Master, I am serious!"
An Lan stared at Ling Xuan for a while and finally nodded, "Hmm, I understand."
Suddenly, she felt an array of emotions flooding her heart.
It seemed she was the only one in the entire Qiongming Peak who hesitated without making a decision.
Who cares about the Immortal Heavenly Lord? She’s inferior even to her own disciples.
Hilarious.
Actually, it’s not funny at all.
An Lan pressed the index fingers of both hands to her mouth corners and then pulled gently upwards, revealing a smile that was not quite coordinated.
Just as she was about to turn around, a familiar figure suddenly appeared on the horizon.
An Lan stood still, waiting for a moment, and Tong Yao appeared coyly at the entrance of the courtyard.
"You came."
Tong Yao nodded.
An Lan said, "I thought you wouldn’t come."
Tong Yao smiled and said, "Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian is here, so I would come no matter what."
An Lan asked, "And what is your answer?"
Tong Yao replied, "I would like to ask Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian a few questions first."
"Please go ahead and ask," An Lan nodded, clearing a path for Tong Yao.
To increase the chance of defeating Red Dust, Path Master Ganlu is indispensable.
Don’t be deceived by Path Master Ganlu’s current weakness after becoming Tong Yao. As soon as they return to the Immortal World and heal her wounds, she will be able to break free from her cocoon and regain her former strength, even surpassing it.
Tong Yao approached Bai Lian and after contemplating for a moment, she asked, "Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian, do you have any knowledge of Red Dust Heavenly Lord?"
Bai Lian hesitated for a moment before being honest, "My understanding of her is very limited."
Tong Yao furrowed her brows, "That’s troublesome."
Bai Lian looked embarrassed.
Although her time spent with Red Dust was not as extensive as with An Lan, it was not short either, yet she only had a superficial understanding of Red Dust.
If she were Red Dust, she would feel dissatisfied, wouldn’t she?
When Bai Lian heard this, she felt aggrieved.
At that time, with her naive mind, she didn’t have much of a grasp on the twists and turns of people’s hearts. It was only natural for her to become closer with An Lan after reaching an agreement with her, wasn’t it?
Back then, she was still a die-hard supporter of An Lan, and had not yet developed the "pervert" attribute.
If the "pervert" attribute had been developed back then, perhaps…
That’s not right.
If it had really been developed, Red Dust and An Lan might have ended up fighting long before that day ever came, without waiting for a chance to quarrel over it.
Just as Bai Lian was lost in thought, Tong Yao said, "I have only briefly met Red Dust Heavenly Lord a few times, and she didn’t leave a strong impression on me. I only vaguely remember her as a calm and reserved person. To be honest, I find it hard to imagine that she would retaliate simply because she could not obtain Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian."
Bai Lian, "…"
Seeing Bai Lian’s silence, Tong Yao thought she had said something wrong. She quickly waved her hand and said, "I am not saying that Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian lacks charm. I don’t know how others see her, but at least in my opinion, Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian is a very…uhh…"
As she spoke, Tong Yao stopped talking.
She almost forgot that there were eight people and a rabbit watching beside her!
"…"
Bai Lian was even more speechless this time.
However, Tong Yao’s words strengthened her previous thoughts that it was not appropriate to blindly rush forward. Even if their group of elderly, young, weak and disabled people could gather in their best condition, it would still be difficult for them to defeat Red Dust. Even if they won by chance, casualties were inevitable.
In this way, this deduction became meaningless again.
Some strategies are still needed!
Of course, Bai Lian didn’t plan to take a different approach, and she still intended to attack directly, but she would control the rhythm of the attack.
She had about ten more opportunities to simulate, she wasn’t sure how many exactly, but it didn’t matter. She just needed to know that even if she failed this time, it wouldn’t be a complete plummet into the abyss.
Failure?
She had tasted this kind of thing enough times, another failure would be nothing.
If she could figure out what Red Dust wanted this time or even identify Red Dust’s weaknesses, then this failure would be worth it.
Bai Lian expressed her thoughts to Tong Yao and the others around.
Tong Yao nodded and said, "This plan seems feasible, but Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian, if you choose this approach, you cannot seal your memories. You must enter the next deduction with a complete mind. Will it be okay?"
Bai Lian laughed.
She knew what Tong Yao was worried about, which was afraid that she would "go mad" like before.
However, it is not necessary!
She raised her head and chest, as if to show her confidence, and deliberately shook a bit.
"Don’t worry, at that time I had no goals and was devoured by darkness. But now I am different. I have a hundred and twenty percent of hope in my heart. Whether it is for myself, for you whom I love, or for everyone, I will never fall into confusion again!"
The light revealed in her eyes was even more beautiful than when Xiao Jinse came to the door.
Only confidence can make others believe.
Now, Bai Lian is very confident, though in reality she may not be as poised. She must make herself believe in her abilities.
I am capable.
I am capable.
Because I am Bai Lian!
The room fell silent. Nobody wanted to dwell on Bai Lian’s unrefined speech. They silently felt the warmth emanating from her.
Once upon a time, Bai Lian was an ethereal fairy in the snow and ice, and her body was as frigid as ice.
Time has passed, everything has changed.
Although there are still some things that feel awkward, overall everything is moving towards a better direction!
"Elder Martial Sister!"
The first one to rush towards Bai Lian was Xiao Jinse, who was closest to her.
She collided with Bai Lian with full force and in the midst of the soft and alluring compression, she tightly hugged Bai Lian, greedily absorbing her body heat.
Immediately after, Su Youwei rushed over without showing any weakness.
She was extremely regretful that she was one step slower than Xiao Jinse.
Hong Yi just looked on quietly on the side, there were too many people and she didn’t dare to do anything. Tong Yao’s reaction was similar to hers.
Yu Ying hesitated for a while, but was pushed by Qing Luan and stumbled forward.
Yan Yue glanced at An Lan and then locked eyes with the eldest princess.
Although she had done something inappropriate in the palace that night, where she had seen and touched what she should not have, when they met again, she could not avoid feeling nervous and awkward.
The eldest princess is much more generous.
What’s the harm?
She even longed to compete with Bai Lian on the throne in Heluo Country!
The eldest princess placed both hands on her stomach, graceful like a lady-in-waiting, nodded with a smile towards Yan Yue, and with delicate steps walked towards Bai Lian.
Unlike others who wished to hug Bai Lian, she merely stood nearby and covertly grabbed Bai Lian’s middle finger.
"…"
At the very end, only An Lan was left on the periphery.
This is wrong, extremely wrong!
Despite being the "main consort", she was robbed by a group of little bitches and could only stand on the side like a lonely old lady, devouring spicy peppers to vent her anger.
Damn it!
(〝▼皿▼)
"Get out of my way!"
An Lan marched forward in a fit of rage, her hand firmly grasping one of them.
"What a disgraceful display! This is the Qiongming Peak, the holy land of cultivation for the Duxian sect. Not some…"
"Holy land of cultivation, huh? Weren’t you the one who was flirting with Bai Lian here for the first time?"
Suddenly, a sentence popped out from the side.
Who?
An Lan viciously turned her head, fixing her gaze on Yan Yue’s figure.
Knowing she had said the wrong thing, Yan Yue quickly turned her head and dared not look at her.
But An Lan was not willing to let go of Yan Yue.
If she remembered correctly, she and Yan Yue used to be "good" friends.
Now this friend only wants to undercut her!
Okay.
Today, I will use you to showcase my power and authority. As you are my close friend, I trust you will assist me.
Want to run?
Come over here!
An Lan grabbed Yan Yue’s wrist. The next moment, the Qiongming Peak was filled with screams.
…
After playing around, Bai Lian and the others settled down to discuss their plan of action.
In fact, the plan was very simple, considering it was their first try.
The first thing to do is to try to maximize the strength and status of everyone.
It may be called an attempt, but vigilance must not be relaxed, and one must always be prepared for the struggle!
There is no need to worry about Tong Yao, as she recovers quickly and can regain most of her strength as soon as she returns to the Immortal World.
It is difficult to say about the master, as she has lost two of the ways of the Great Tao, and her soul is incomplete. She can only hope for the Ten Thousand Calamities Refining Cultivation Method. Fortunately, she has recently made some breakthroughs in cultivating the Ten Thousand Calamities Refining Cultivation Method.
The ones who really need to cultivate are several Martial Sisters.
The Second Martial Sister has not fully absorbed the Heavenly Lord’s inheritance yet. The Third Martial Sister also needs some time to refine the new Ten Thousand Poison Pearl. The situation of the Fourth Martial Sister is not bad, but it also takes time to digest the Original Dragon’s inheritance.
Wait.
Bai Lian is not at all in a hurry.
The Immeasurable Disaster has not yet broken through the Land of Immortals. Before that, as long as she doesn’t cause trouble, she won’t attract Red Dust’s attention.
So during this time, Bai Lian didn’thing but patiently teach the Martial Sisters how to practice.
In addition to practicing, she also remembered to take the Martial Sisters to thank the people who helped in the search for her.
If they encountered some small difficulties on the way, they naturally solved it easily.
Actually, Bai Lian is not in a hurry to leave the Land of Immortals because she has another consideration in mind.
As she said before, the Land of Immortals is about to face catastrophes such as the Collapse of the Celestial Pole and the Resurrection of the Primordial Demons.
She is incapable of ending this cycle of calamities and can only do her best to reduce the damage the Land of Immortals will suffer.
"Consider it as an act of redemption."
Although the Land of Immortals didn’t perish under her hands, it was ultimately because of her that she became a target, so doing this will make her feel better.
Bai Lian and her Martial Sisters took care of some of the yet-to-be revived Primordial Demons in advance, but she is truly powerless against the Collapse of the Celestial Pole.
She could only notify the major sects in advance, so that they could be prepared. Then, when the sky collapsed, floods and raging winds wreaked havoc, and all kinds of geological disasters occurred frequently, she did her best to prevent the disaster and eradicate all the demons who wanted to take advantage of it!
"Bah, it’s really hateful!"
In the sky, after cutting a demon cultivator into pieces and kicking him into the deep sea, Bai Lian couldn’t help but spit.
At this moment, two familiar figures suddenly flew in from the sky.
"The Third Martial Sister, Hong Yi." Bai Lian turned around. "Have you finished your work over there?"
Su Youwei flew to Bai Lian’s side and nodded while smiling. "All the demons around here have been dealt with!"
"So excellent."
Bai Lian breathed a sigh of relief.
She was about to say something more when the Third Martial Sister and Hong Yi suddenly came towards her, one after the other.
Lock her!
"?"
The Third Martial Sister firmly grasped her hand and said, "Elder Martial Sister, this is a rare opportunity. I can no longer endure it!".
Hong Yi also caught her other hand, unwilling to fall behind.
When Bai Lian looked at her, Hong Yi lowered her head, blushing, but with a resolute attitude–
If you refuse, then I will have to rely on my own strength!
Bai Lian slightly opened her mouth.
She realized that being "attacked" from both sides, there was no way she could escape today!
