Chapter 8: I’ll Earn Medical Pills Outside to Raise You!
“… Communication between people is a very complex knowledge. Even if I explain it, you won’t understand it. So I won’t explain it to you in detail.”
“Haw.”
The jade rabbit nodded quickly.
It seemed it didn’t understand anything, but when it thought about it carefully, it felt there were many places worth pondering in Martial Sister Bai Lian’s words.
Probably because it didn’t have a very smart brain, it couldn’t grasp the philosophy behind her words.
After licking the spiritual herbs handed over by Martial Sister Bai Lian, the jade rabbit agreed with her sentiments:
The Saint and Xia Qingqing are very troublesome women, so we should try to stay away from them in the future!
The jade rabbit, in its simple cognition, felt a straightforward truth—
Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian gave it spiritual herbs every day, while the two troublesome women hadn’t given it even a single straw.
Naturally, it knew who was good to it.
It knew everything!
—
Bai Lian returned to her room.
Her initial plan had been to hand Si Yunshang over to the sect. But as she stood before the door of her room, three task options suddenly appeared in front of her:
1. [Hand over Si Yunshang to the sect (Reward: Twin Spirit Eyes)]
2. [Do nothing (Reward: Secret medicine – Wave After Wave)]
3. [Let Si Yunshang go (Reward: Foundation Establishment Pill)]
“…”
Bai Lian stepped back from the door.
The Twin Spirit Eyes was a special physique—not exceedingly rare, but certainly no less valuable than an inferior spirit tool. Task 1 was clearly not an option she could handle right now.
After carefully analyzing the task options, Bai Lian concluded that letting Si Yunshang go was the safest option for now.
As for why it was dangerous to let Si Yunshang leave… that was easy to understand. After “torturing” Si Yunshang like this, she must harbor resentment in her heart.
After some thought, Bai Lian decided to lock Si Yunshang up for the time being.
Choose Task 2.
—
“Dong Dong Dong.”
A rhythmic knock sounded outside her door.
“Elder Martial Sister!”
It was the Second Martial Sister’s voice.
Perfect timing!
Bai Lian eagerly walked toward the door but stopped abruptly.
She remembered—there was a Demon Woman lying on her bed. The worst part? The Demon Woman’s clothes were far more revealing than usual.
“…”
Better to hide her.
Bai Lian scanned her room. There weren’t many places to conceal someone, so she ended up shoving Si Yunshang under the bed.
Just as she lifted the bed, a system task appeared again:
1. [Hide Si Yunshang under the bed (Reward: Spiritual Herb – Falling Branch Grass)]
2. [Open the door directly (Reward: Callus Pill)]
This…
Bai Lian decisively put the bed down. Cold sweat trickled down her forehead.
The Falling Branch Grass was a rare herb capable of reshaping the flesh.
Continue to choose Task 2.
“Here it is.”
Bai Lian opened the door to find her two younger Martial Sisters standing there.
Before she could say anything, Xiao Jinse and Su Youwei brushed past her into the room.
—
“I didn’t get anything today.”
“Yes, those people from the Demon sect were all hiding…”
Su Youwei trailed off as her eyes landed on Si Yunshang, who lay unconscious on the bed.
Sure enough!
The two Martial Sisters’ gazes sharpened.
Not long ago, they’d heard rumors of Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian returning with a strange woman. So, they rushed over immediately.
“Haw.”
The jade rabbit cowered in the corner, trembling.
Something felt wrong!
A faint killing intent lingered in the air.
—
Bai Lian quickly stepped between her Martial Sisters and Si Yunshang.
“I thought you two weren’t coming back today.”
Xiao Jinse fixed her gaze on Bai Lian.
Even though she hadn’t slept on Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian’s bed, this strange woman had beaten her to it.
Grievance.
(´⌒`｡)
Su Youwei remained silent.
She believed Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian wasn’t the type to do anything suspicious behind their backs. But…
She couldn’t control herself!
Seeing Si Yunshang lying there, Su Youwei’s hands itched to act.
—
Bai Lian quickly diverted their attention.
“I was just about to look for you two.”
“Look for us?”
“That’s right!”
Bai Lian pulled out the pills she’d recently acquired, including the Callus Pills rewarded by the system.
Dividing the bottles evenly, she handed them to her younger Martial Sisters.
“These pills should help you reach the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage,” she explained.
—
Xiao Jinse and Su Youwei stared at the pills in shock.
“Elder Martial Sister… where did you get these?”
Bai Lian smiled awkwardly. Of course, she couldn’t tell them the truth.
“I saved them up,” she said vaguely. “Anyway, I don’t need them now. But remember—don’t rush your cultivation. A solid foundation is crucial to withstand Heavenly Tribulation. That’s something I can’t help you with.”
—
Bai Lian’s generosity struck a deep chord in her Martial Sisters.
“Don’t worry,” Bai Lian added with a warm smile. “We’re family.”
With those words, the tense atmosphere in the room finally dissipated.
Bai Lian let out a quiet sigh of relief.
Tomorrow, she thought, she would slowly explain the situation with Si Yunshang.
For now, though, she had succeeded in shifting their focus.
A woman living off other women…
Bai Lian chuckled inwardly at her fortune.
—
Midnight came.
When Bai Lian returned to her room, she discovered Si Yunshang awake, staring blankly at the ceiling.
Unbeknownst to Bai Lian, Si Yunshang had heard everything.
People are truly complicated.
Even Bai Lian, who appeared so “useless,” seemed far more complex than she had imagined.
—
And from Bai Lian’s words, she didn’t seem to plan to directly hand her over to the sect.
Let’s take one step at a time.
Si Yunshang heard the sound of a door opening. She looked away and saw Bai Lian coming in.
But this time, Bai Lian used her original appearance, and the ★ in the corner of her right eye was extremely conspicuous.
“You…”
Si Yunshang opened her mouth.
A long-awaited name flashed through her mind.
“I’m Bai Lian,” Bai Lian said in a cold tone.
