Being stared at by such a powerful being, even Jin Bao'er couldn't help but feel nervous, her demeanor becoming extremely respectful.
"Greetings, Senior!"
The man who had just landed heard these four words, and the coldness on his face instantly stiffened. His palms clenched! The aura around him grew increasingly icy! His tone was also quite displeased.
"Oh..."
He hadn't sacrificed so much just to be called "Senior"! Did this woman not understand? Could it be... she was too young and hadn't matured yet?
Jin Bao'er felt the air around her instantly condense, unsure what she had said wrong that had angered the person in front of her. As she pondered, the atmosphere suddenly returned to normal. This sudden shift from cold to warm made her instinctively look up at him.
Then... their eyes met! Her dark eyes held confusion, his purple eyes were calm!
"Thank you for saving my life!"
As she finished speaking, Long Lixing remained composed, exuding an air of unfathomable mystery!
"Mm..."
Jin Bao'er felt no awkwardness. After all, it was normal for Long Lixing to suddenly stop responding when she spoke to him before.
But this time was different. The man immediately spoke again, his tone calm and tinged with concern.
"You are already a cultivator at the mid-Nascent Soul stage. After sleeping for two years, you should get used to your body's subconscious reactions sooner. Go out now. I imagine your masters and senior brothers must be very worried about you."
Though Jin Bao'er found it strange, she didn't dwell on it and looked at Long Lixing with immense gratitude.
"Thank you, Senior!"
The moment she spoke, the surrounding aura instantly turned sharp and cold. She looked up in surprise, only to meet the man's calm, unruffled gaze.
Was it an illusion? She always felt that the Senior had been angry just now.
"From now on, you don't need to call me Senior. Just call me by..."
As he said this, a rare hint of hesitation appeared on his face. In his memory, dragons seemed to call him Dragon Ancestor, but he couldn't possibly ask her to call him that...
"Just call me by my full name!"
He couldn't rush things. He would take it slow.
Jin Bao'er found it peculiar but couldn't pinpoint why. She could only nod in agreement.
As she prepared to leave, Long Lixing suddenly spoke.
"When you go out this time, you don't need to bring Tianshu. It might attract too much attention..."
Jin Bao'er didn't doubt him. After all, many people had seen her appear with the white cat before. Now that she had resurrected, it wouldn't be beneficial for too many people to know.
Thus, as soon as she exited the immortal mansion, she left the Seven Desolations Forest without delay...
Inside the immortal mansion, a certain dragon slightly curved his lips. Foolish demonic beasts, daring to compete with him?!
The little girl, lying on Jin Huang's back, looked at him blankly.
"What is Uncle Long smiling about? So happy!"
Jin Huang shuddered at the sound, his tone filled with emotion.
"Alas... it's all because of that fellow Tianshu. He actually called Master 'Bao'er' right in front of Uncle Long! He called her so intimately. Uncle Long is jealous!"
The little girl tilted her head! Her face was full of curiosity.
"Little Phoenix, what is jealousy? Is it delicious?"
Jin Huang was taken aback. After thinking for a moment, he said with great seriousness,
"That... it's probably something inedible! You're still young, you'll understand when you're older."
The little girl didn't suspect him and nodded earnestly, remembering that vinegar was not to be eaten.
At this moment, Jin Bao'er finally noticed the change in her attire... This was not the magic robe from her spatial realm!
In surprise, she paused for a moment as soon as she emerged from the Seven Desolations Forest!
A group of disciples from a certain sect, who were gathered at the edge of the forest, were all drawn to this scene, completely forgetting the two people fighting nearby.
Shoulders as if carved, waist like a willow, eyebrows like jade feathers, skin like white snow. Dressed in a simple silk dress, with a water-blue sheer veil draped over it. As the breeze blew, the sheer veil danced, and the person exuded a faint spiritual aura. Her ink-black hair was held in place by a single jade hairpin, fluttering in the wind...
Her beauty was astonishing. Her features were delicate and exquisite, and her fair, tender cheeks had a touch of rosy blush, making her look like a ripe, delicate flower! At this moment, her eyes were slightly narrowed, as if deep in thought, revealing a cold and stern aura! She possessed a formidable presence that inspired awe.
She didn't remember owning this outfit! She could vaguely feel the aura emanating from it... Was it dragon's breath? Had Long Lixing given it to her?
Never mind! She collected herself, her expression returning to its natural state. It was just a piece of clothing, after all.
Her gaze swept over the stunned and amazed crowd on the ground, then she glanced at the two figures engaged in a fierce battle, her eyes indifferent.
Afterward, she continued on her way!
She had always disliked meddling in other people's affairs.
After the figure in water-blue disappeared, everyone remained lost in the memory of her face for a long time, only snapping back to reality when the two combatants not far away had decided the victor!
"Who... who was that just now?"
"She looked a bit familiar! That fairy is so beautiful!"
"Wait... Doesn't she look like the woman who saved our Fenghua City two years ago!" Although that woman was quite disheveled back then!
As he spoke, the disciple suddenly came to his senses and frantically searched his spatial ring! After a moment, he finally pulled out a portrait!
The disciples heard his words and their gazes fixed on the woman in the painting...
Her tattered magic robe made her look extremely disheveled, and the blood at the corner of her lips was striking, yet it also added a peculiar beauty. The magnificent and unrestrained aura she possessed while wielding her long sword was awe-inspiring!
The key point was! Her appearance was identical to the woman from just now!
...
Jin Bao'er continued on her way, heading towards the Misty Sect at an extremely rapid pace! The thought of how shocked and heartbroken her master would be upon hearing the news of her death filled her with complex emotions...
When she landed at the entrance of the Misty Sect, the two guarding disciples were stunned by her beauty at first glance, and then filled with terror at the second!
"Ghost... Ghost!"
The two men, their faces instantly turning pale, turned and fled without hesitation, abandoning their post!
Jin Bao'er merely raised an eyebrow. It seemed the entire cultivation world believed she was already dead!
She then turned and went directly to Flower Bloom Peak, only to find the entire mountain peak unusually quiet. The sounds of furnaces exploding and angry roars that usually permeated the air were completely gone, as if no one had ever lived there.
"Master..."
She quickly scanned the surroundings. She could sense a few faint auras, but saw no one!
Suddenly, a powerful force struck from behind her. She instinctively dodged to the side, and with a counter-attack, she unleashed a wave of extremely cold spiritual energy, instantly freezing the attacker!
When she saw who it was, her eyes widened slightly, filled with surprise.
"Eldest... Senior Brother?"
Bai Yileng's attack missed and he was instead controlled. His expression changed instantly. He instinctively struggled but to no avail. At that moment, he heard the familiar voice and looked up sharply, shock flashing across his normally cold and steady face!
Seeing this, Jin Bao'er waved her hand, dispelling the thick layer of ice. She had completely mastered the power of the mid-Nascent Soul stage!
"You... you're alive? Is this... Nascent Soul stage power!?"
He had known when Jin Bao'er's advancement to Nascent Soul stage became famous throughout the cultivation world, but hearing about it was vastly different from seeing it with his own eyes! Only he knew how shocked he had been at that moment! It felt as though with just a glance from her, his peak-Golden Core stage body cultivator would instantly vanish from existence!
