Chapter 12: You Can Call Me Bai Lian!
The moment Bai Lian stepped into the moonlit room, she realized—
Something was wrong with Third Younger Martial Sister!
First, she pushed her exposed leg back under the quilt.
Normally, such an action would wake her up.
“Is she too relaxed, or is she pretending to sleep?”
After holding her chin in thought for a moment, Bai Lian suddenly produced a small feather duster.
She used it to brush Third Younger Martial Sister’s belly.
Third Younger Martial Sister didn’t respond at all. Even her breathing remained unchanged.
Something was definitely wrong!
Bai Lian put away the feather duster.
She sat down beside the bed, said “Sorry,” then quickly stretched out her hand, stopping half a foot from Su Youwei’s chest.
Fshh.
White spirit Qi gushed from Bai Lian’s palm like flowing water, and Third Martial Sister was “submerged” in an instant.
The room was illuminated.
Now Su Youwei could no longer hide anything from Bai Lian.
Bai Lian’s brows gradually furrowed.
Third Younger Martial Sister was so thin. All because of malnutrition when she was young!
But besides that, her body showed no abnormalities.
Since her body was fine, it could only be a problem with her soul.
“Is it because of her internal demon?”
Bai Lian carefully studied Third Younger Martial Sister’s face.
Her white hair spread naturally around the pillow after being untied, and her cherry-red lips still held a faint smile.
Bai Lian’s heart stirred.
She reached out and touched the corner of Third Martial Sister’s mouth.
This smile was a treasure she must protect.
She didn’t want to see those ugly scenes from the game again!
It was easy to enter a cultivator’s body.
There were many spells that could change a person’s size. Moreover, one could use tools like Puppet Insects to explore.
But entering a cultivator’s sea of divine sense was not easy.
Even a cultivator at the Qi Refining period had a self-defense mechanism in their sea of divine sense.
Entering their divine sense without permission was tantamount to declaring war.
Using evil magic like Soul Searching would warrant everlasting revenge.
But now Bai Lian didn’t care.
The Three Turn Soul Coagulation Pill was very rare, but not as valuable as an inferior Spirit Tool.
So Bai Lian had nothing to fear.
Knowing that, what was there to be afraid of?
Just go ahead!
Even if she failed, she could seek An Lan’s help.
Bai Lian’s eyes glowed with silvery light.
The scene before her suddenly changed.
This was the world analyzed by her [See Through the Void].
White lights wandered in darkness—these were spirit fires. Each flame represented a living being’s life. Countless fires together constituted the world’s joys and sorrows. The propagation of these flames was civilization’s preservation.
Bai Lian found Third Martial Sister’s fire and swooped in.
As expected, she encountered resistance.
For a moment, she felt trapped in boggy mire.
The mud made movement difficult.
But when she gathered her strength, she easily broke through the barrier.
“After all, Third Younger Martial Sister hasn’t grown up yet.”
If Third Younger Martial Sister had reached the Soul Changing Stage, even the sect leader couldn’t enter her sea of divine sense.
Here we go!
In the boundless night, Bai Lian spotted a hollow.
Below it stood Third Martial Sister amid raging winds.
And…
“Huh?”
Bai Lian was stunned.
Wasn’t that… her?
That “her” was covered in blood, wielding a blood-dripping sword, resembling Zero from Drag-on Dragoon 3.
When she laughed wildly, Bai Lian saw the evil “Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian” from the game.
Damn!
Third Younger Martial Sister was in danger.
The sight ignited Bai Lian’s anger.
Her rage burned so hot it lit up half the sky.
The dying internal demon, trembling Su Youwei, and laughing “Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian” all noticed the anomaly.
They raised their heads, showing the same expression as Bai Lian had upon finding the false “Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian”.
“╭(°A°`)╮”
Why had a new Bai Lian appeared in Su Youwei’s divine sense?
The internal demon stared at Su Youwei, dark eyes flickering.
Could Su Youwei create new internal demons through imagination?
Damn it!
Were they playing Russian dolls here?
Su Youwei shook her head forcefully. “I’m not, I don’t, I don’t know who she…”
Wait!
Her eyes swept over the false Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian, who looked equally shocked.
Su Youwei understood in a trance.
“But—”
Her lips trembled.
Before she could explain to her internal demon, a blazing flame descended from above.
It happened too fast.
“What are you—”
The false Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian realized too late as the fiery fist struck, leaving no time to dodge.
“Fuck you! How dare you bully my Martial Sister using my face!”
Bai Lian’s seemingly delicate fist struck the false Bai Lian’s cheek with tremendous force.
Though only part of her soul had entered Third Younger Martial Sister’s divine sense, her high Focus made her soul extremely powerful.
This blow contained the rage of two lifetimes!
Boom!
The false Bai Lian’s face began collapsing from the bridge of her nose.
Her skull withstood an impact it was never meant to bear.
In an instant, her head erupted into a shower of blood, and her body turned to ash in Bai Lian’s furious flames.
“…”
The internal demon’s eyes widened.
Was that even possible?
She had only managed a draw with that false Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian after burning herself, having no chance in direct confrontation before that.
The internal demon quickly became alert again.
No, that fake wasn’t dead yet!
Bai Lian realized this too.
It was expected—if the fake died so easily, the task wouldn’t reward the Three Turn Soul Condensing Pill.
“Did you want to take my Third Younger Martial Sister hostage?”
A pale bone claw materialized from the void, reaching for Su Youwei’s right arm, but a powerful wave of fire intercepted and severed it.
“Ah!”
A shrill scream echoed from the wilderness.
Bai Lian closely guarded Third Martial Sister behind her.
“Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”
This felt familiar.
Feeling the cold emanating from the person before her, Su Youwei released all her worries.
It was Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian—the real Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian!
She clutched Bai Lian’s clothes, fearing it was just a dream.
She had been so foolish.
Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian’s body was always cold.
Yet the Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian she had imagined was like a heater—she had never noticed such an obvious flaw.
Moments later, the false Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian appeared ten feet away, face pale.
“Su Youwei, you idiot!” she shouted. “Do you think this Bai Lian protecting you is good? She, like me, is just an evil manifestation of the Ten Thousand Poison Pearl!”
“You son of a bitch!” Su Youwei retorted rudely.
Bai Lian turned to look at Third Younger Martial Sister, who trembled with anger.
Noticing Bai Lian’s surprised expression, Su Youwei’s cheeks reddened.
She had cursed in front of Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian!
Would she be disgusted now? Su Youwei pointed at the dying internal demon. “She taught me…” Her voice grew increasingly faint.
“Aha?” The internal demon, whose consciousness had been fading, suddenly became alert.
What was she saying?!
The internal demon propped herself up—a medical miracle.
Her long, soft white hair cascaded over her shoulder, catching Bai Lian’s attention.
She noticed this internal demon strongly resembled the Third Martial Sister from the game, though less cold.
“The internal demon isn’t responsible,” Su Youwei quickly added.
She lowered her head, unable to meet Bai Lian’s gaze.
Having said she didn’t need her internal demon’s protection, blaming the internal demon now would be hypocritical.
Bai Lian nodded; she couldn’t harm Su Youwei’s internal demon.
Not because she was weaker—one internal demon was no match for her.
The main reason was that the internal demon and Third Martial Sister were inseparable. Killing the internal demon meant killing Third Martial Sister too.
That wouldn’t do.
Bai Lian turned back to the false Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian.
“Show your true form. These petty tricks won’t fool my younger Martial Sister anymore.”
“Ah.”
The false Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian sneered.
Kill, hate, fear, anger…
Negative emotions poured from her like a fountain, polluting the ground nearby.
Just one step away!
Once the internal demon was pulled into the void, she could devour both Su Youwei and her internal demon.
After fully possessing Su Youwei’s body, she would become master of the Ten Thousand Poisons Pearl.
How wonderful it would be!
But Bai Lian’s sudden appearance had ruined everything.
The false Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian couldn’t understand.
How had Bai Lian noticed something wrong with the sleeping Su Youwei? Even a mother wouldn’t watch her daughter so closely.
Unless…
Bai Lian had planned to do something to Su Youwei while she slept, and then discovered the abnormality?
Humph!
Only by killing Bai Lian could she survive now.
The false Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian’s body began to change.
Her clothes dissolved, revealing not an attractive naked form, but…
A skeleton!
“!”
Bai Lian was stunned.
Truth be told, the skeleton was quite beautiful, seemingly carved from warm white jade.
That slender clavicle would shatter satisfyingly when struck!
The skeleton spoke in an alluring voice, “You can call me Lady White Bones (Bai Gu Fu Ren)!”
Oh, her surname was also “Bai”?
Bai Lian raised her fist and said, “You can call me Bai Lian!”
