Chapter 7: As Expected, Master Still Loves Me!
After leaving the cave, Bai Lian didn’t rush back to her room. She stood beside the bamboo forest, gazing at the bright moon through the swaying shadows.
How ridiculous!
Bai Lian clenched her fist.
The atmosphere had been so harmonious at that moment. Why did An Lan suddenly lose control and push her onto the bed? It even made her wonder if An Lan had consumed the Anger Mixture!
Bai Lian rubbed the spot where she had been struck.
It didn’t hurt anymore, really. Her physical strength was excellent. Even without using magic to heal herself, she could recover quickly.
But her meridians had taken a serious toll. The anger-driven An Lan hadn’t controlled her strength, and Bai Lian had to endure pain she shouldn’t have had to bear.
The intense spiritual Qi had been raging within her body for a long time, nearly widening her meridians.
It seemed like it would take at least half a month to fully recover, unless she took Medical Pills.
“Huh?”
Bai Lian was stunned.
A warm breath rushed through her body.
When she looked closely, she saw tiny white flowers blooming within her meridians.
It was the spell “Thousands of Flowers!”
After a few seconds, Bai Lian realized her meridians were back to normal, even stronger than before.
“……”
She quickly looked behind her.
The evening wind blew coldly.
No one was at the cave entrance.
Bai Lian knew those flowers must have been conjured by Shifu.
What a twisted person!
Sure enough, my Shifu still loves me!
This was a completely new experience, something no younger Martial Sisters had ever encountered.
Bai Lian’s smile was faint.
If she had been fully conscious at the time, she probably wouldn’t have been able to hold onto An Lan so actively.
How foolish!
As Bai Lian reached the exit of the forbidden array, she suddenly stopped and stared at her right hand.
This hand, as warm as jade…
The scene when she and An Lan had held each other flashed through her mind.
“Now I understand!”
Bai Lian’s eyes bent like crescent moons.
No wonder her hand had felt so elastic.
Her relationship with Shifu had just grown even closer!
Considering that Shifu had also accepted the fourth Martial Sister, Bai Lian immediately felt that all the beatings she had endured were worth it.
By the way, she needed to hurry and bring the fourth younger Martial Sister over before Shifu changed her mind.
Bai Lian walked briskly towards the top of the mountain.
Tonight?
Everything blended into the spring wind.
……
Bai Lian found the fourth Martial Sister, Yu Ying, learning to plant spiritual herbs with the jade rabbit near the cold pool.
“Younger Martial Sister, Shifu wants to see you. Come with me.”
“Huh?”
Yu Ying stood up in a panic.
She wasn’t prepared to meet An Lan at all, but she had no choice but to go.
In fact, the process went much more smoothly than Bai Lian and Yu Ying had imagined.
Although An Lan subtly felt that something was off, she remained as trustworthy as ever.
“Go back and cultivate. If you don’t understand anything, ask me or your Elder Martial Sister.”
An Lan handed Yu Ying the cultivation method for Qiongming Peak.
Yu Ying bowed deeply.
Her heart swelled with gratitude.
When she had felt lost in that small world, she never thought she would meet such kind people one day.
Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian is so wonderful, the jade rabbit is so wonderful, and the master is so wonderful.
Although she had only just joined the Duxian Sect less than a day ago, she would do everything in her power to repay the love of her Elder Martial Sisters and master!
“Bai Lian, stay.”
Bai Lian was stopped by An Lan as she approached the cave entrance.
She nervously glanced at An Lan’s expressionless face.
No, no!
I’ve been here twice tonight. Could it be that An Lan is not satisfied and wants to do that for the third time?
An Lan didn’t notice Bai Lian’s expression and said, “Take your sword out.”
“?”
Bai Lian was puzzled but did as instructed, pulling out the Dirt Free Sword.
An Lan raised her right hand. With a gentle wave, the Dirt Free Sword flew over to her hand.
She held the hilt of the sword for a long while.
Bai Lian hesitated.
She could handle being spanked with the ruler, but she couldn’t bear the thought of being struck by the Dirt Free Sword!
Damn.
If I’d known, I would’ve pulled out a soft sword!
While Bai Lian was deep in thought, two square stones, one white and one purple, appeared in front of An Lan.
The white stone was the Ice Soul from Elder Xu.
It was cold and pure, like a solitary flower on a cliff.
The purple stone was a Phaseless Thunder Crystal.
It exuded mystery, pulling one in to study it.
An Lan first summoned a ball of Sky Flame, then used her spirit Qi to temporarily weave a furnace in the air.
The dampness in the cave disappeared, and Bai Lian felt as though she had stepped into a greenhouse.
An Lan threw the Dirt Free Sword, the Ice Soul, and the Phaseless Thunder Crystal into the furnace.
After a dazzling operation, the transparent Dirt Free Sword was replaced by one that seemed to be cast from frost and snow.
A middle-grade Spirit Tool!
Feeling the powerful aura from the sword, Bai Lian couldn’t help but stare in awe.
“Take it.”
An Lan pushed the newly forged Dirt Free Sword to Bai Lian.
The upgraded Dirt Free Sword was stronger, longer, and more powerful. It could freely switch between the two states of “Thunder” and “Snow.” It could control thunder and lightning, freeze miles of land, and make an opponent experience the “Happiness” of both ice and fire.
The mystery of the changes couldn’t be explained in just a few words.
Bai Lian took the upgraded Dirt Free Sword.
Happiness arrived so suddenly.
With this sword, she could even challenge weak cultivators at the Soul Changing Stage!
Bai Lian’s heart leaped!
She had been prepared for a third “storm,” but instead, she received a large sweet “candy” from her master.
If she could get a middle-grade Spirit Tool after each beating, she’d gladly let An Lan continue until she was bankrupt!
“I’m a bit tired. Get out.”
An Lan turned her head away and waved her hand.
“Thank you, master!”
Bai Lian bowed deeply.
After Bai Lian’s footsteps disappeared, An Lan turned back.
“There shouldn’t be anything left.”
She paused for a moment. The things that needed to be done had been taken care of, and the lessons that needed to be taught had been given.
Now, only one problem remained.
Where could she find a way to remove the Death Words from Bai Lian?
Though Bai Lian had said she didn’t want to burden her master, who was she? She was the Immortal Heavenly Lord!
Would a Heavenly Lord listen to everything her disciple says? Of course not!
So, An Lan decided to keep searching for a solution.
“But where should I go?”
An Lan lay down on the bed, deciding to sleep on it first.
She wrapped herself in the quilt, rolling into a ball, then rolled off the bed and against the wall.
Patta.
The flickering candles in the cave went out without any wind, plunging the room into darkness.
An Lan closed her eyes and breathed deeply.
After a few seconds, she suddenly jolted awake.
Something wasn’t right!
An Lan frowned.
After sitting up for a long while, she lay back down again.
This time, she was outside the quilt, but still holding it close.
Her legs clamped around it like pincers, and she felt a satisfied sense of fulfillment.
That’s right.
She closed her eyes and soon fell asleep.
In her dreams, she was full of dignity, and Bai Lian was a good disciple who respected her master very much!
