Chapter 15: I Like Children Best!
Bai Lian could hear the breathing behind her gradually calming down.
It was soft, like a gentle trickle.
After hours of flying, despite her constant tension, the Third Martial Sister’s body finally gave way to the mental and physical exhaustion, and she fell asleep peacefully.
Bai Lian released a small amount of spiritual power, wrapping it around her like a protective rope to ensure she wouldn’t be swept off by the strong winds.
The moon shone brightly.
As the sky deepened into dark blue and black, Xiao Jinse, the “Internet addict girl,” went online again.
Xiao Jinse and Bai Lian exchanged some awkward words.
The Second Martial Sister: [Elder Martial Sister, have you eaten yet?]
Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian: [No, it’s getting late. Haven’t you gone to bed yet?]
The Second Martial Sister: [I can’t sleep. I’m going to run my cultivation method for a few rounds before I rest.]
Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian: [That’s not good. You need to balance cultivation with rest. Blindly pushing yourself can damage your meridians, and it won’t be worth it in the end.]
Looking at the translucent text floating in front of her, Xiao Jinse felt warmth spread through her.
But that wasn’t what she wanted to talk to Bai Lian about. She figured Bai Lian had already met the Third Martial Sister by now.
Since Qiongming Peak was about to have one more person, Xiao Jinse needed to think of a way to handle this.
She hadn’t come up with a good solution yet.
But as the saying goes: Know thyself and know thy enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles!
Xiao Jinse knew that before she could act, she needed to understand the Third Martial Sister’s personality.
It would be better to carry forward the “tradition” of Qiongming Peak—
The Elder Martial Sister guiding the younger Martial Sister through the beginnings of their cultivation journey!
This way, she could teach the Third Martial Sister the “Unwritten Rules” of their sect.
Xiao Jinse pondered for a long time, then summoned the courage to ask:
The Second Martial Sister: [Elder Martial Sister, have you met the Third Martial Sister yet?]
And once again, the problem arose.
Although the system didn’t trigger any task, Bai Lian still approached the question with caution.
Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian: [Yes, I’m bringing her back to the Duxian Sect now.]
“……”
Bai Lian was returning, which should have been a cause for joy. But the thought of her returning with a strange woman made things less pleasant.
When Xiao Jinse was brought back from Castle Peak City by Bai Lian, she had spent two whole days alone with her. Now, the Third Martial Sister would spend at least four days with Bai Lian!
The Second Martial Sister: [What kind of person is the Third Martial Sister? I’m afraid we won’t get along.]
Bai Lian was a little surprised to see this response.
She had feared that Xiao Jinse might reject the Third Martial Sister, as siblings sometimes do when a new child arrives. But now, it seemed Xiao Jinse’s attitude was more positive than expected.
Her words didn’t suggest avoidance but rather a desire to understand and connect with the new Martial Sister!
“Great!”
Bai Lian clapped her hands gently.
If the Martial Sisters could all get along, then ten years from now, even if her identity as a Natural Saint was revealed, no one would dare challenge her!
Disagree?
Hmph. My Martial Sisters are the Holy Spirit Goddess, the Rebellious Shura…
Bai Lian quickly typed into the jade slip.
She planned to tell Xiao Jinse about the Third Martial Sister’s tragic past, knowing that the Second Martial Sister in the game was a compassionate person.
At that moment, the system task suddenly popped up.
[Task 1: Write a touching composition about the experience of the Third Martial Sister. (Reward: Secret Skill – Binding Skill)]
[Task 2: Avoid mentioning the important details and keep it light. (Reward: Gain Qi Pill)]
“Ah?”
Bai Lian had gradually begun to tackle tasks that weren’t particularly dangerous.
After all, even if something went wrong, she could always run away immediately.
But internally, she remained cautious.
More and more Martial Sisters were following her every day, and if she made the wrong choices, once their strength surpassed hers, she would suffer the consequences.
Bai Lian deleted all the text she had typed.
In truth, she didn’t think she could write a particularly moving essay.
Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian: [She is small, like a child.]
Child?
That’s no competitor at all!
Xiao Jinse smiled happily.
The Second Martial Sister: [I like children best!]
Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian: [But our Third Martial Sister is a little autistic. Well, it might be better to say she’s more introverted. She’s not very good at expressing her emotions.]
The Second Martial Sister: [With you around, the Third Martial Sister will feel the warmth of Qiongming Peak. I’ll help her integrate into our family as soon as possible.]
Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian: [Thank you.]
The Second Martial Sister: [Elder Martial Sister, you’ve worked hard.]
Bai Lian gazed out into the boundless starry sky.
The bright moon hung high above, cold as frost, curved like a hook.
It seemed that this considerate Second Martial Sister was even cuter than her counterpart in the game!
Hmm.
If she doesn’t want to kill me, she’ll forever be my good Martial Sister!
Bai Lian was so happy that she threw a rare spiritual herb at the jade rabbit.

Early Morning.
Su Youwei woke up from a deep sleep.
They had traveled far east.
She slowly poked her head out from behind Bai Lian.
On the vast plain, the red sun began to break the night, slowly emerging from the horizon, bathing the earth in a layer of fiery red.
She stood on her flying sword and felt as though her body was floating.
Floating into the distance.
Floating toward the “Golden Crow” that once blazed brilliantly in fairy tales!
In the face of the brilliant sun, she felt she could leap straight into the fiery orange disc at any moment.
Under such intense light, no internal demon would stand a chance—it would be burned to ashes, wouldn’t it?
A flame ignited in Su Youwei’s heart.
She had heard tales of a new “world” beyond the mountains and seas.
Had she now crossed the mountains and seas within her heart?
At that moment, Su Youwei’s spiritual Qi cyclone shifted.
Bai Lian noticed the Third Martial Sister stirring behind her, sensing something compressed, as if it were on the verge of exploding.
Yes, it’s her spiritual Qi surging!
In and out. In and out.
The powerful spiritual Qi from the heavens and earth cleansed Su Youwei’s body.
After a few breaths, Su Youwei suddenly… bumped into Bai Lian’s backside.
“Junior Sister, are you okay?”
Bai Lian asked quietly, her face looking a little strange.
Su Youwei blushed and said shyly, “Elder Martial Sister, I just had an insight and suddenly broke through to the tenth level of the Qi Refining Period. I couldn’t control my body, so I… I couldn’t hold it!”
Bai Lian’s face showed signs of sorrow.
She knew that women with the “protagonist” template were not the same species as her!
She had consumed countless medicinal pills just to reach her current cultivation base, while the Third Martial Sister had merely gained an insight and immediately advanced by two whole levels.
Bai Lian felt she had suffered 10,000 points of damage.
Even worse was the fact that she now had to comfort the Third Martial Sister.
“It’s okay, don’t worry!”
A short while later, after crossing the plains, the Duxian Sect finally appeared in Bai Lian’s sight.
