The enemy had left, and Jin Bao'er lost the mood to watch any more. She had been so directly targeted earlier, and it still made her feel uncomfortable. She needed to return immediately to recuperate.
"Sect Master! This disciple feels slightly unwell and will take my leave first."
Xiao Baishan, who was suppressing his anger, heard this and looked up sharply. When he met Jin Bao'er's eyes, he noticed she was injured. His expression tensed! This was the genius of the younger generation of their Misty Sect. If Lou Yun ascended or entered Nirvana, this girl would be the foremost cultivator in their Misty Sect!
"Good, good, good... Hurry back and rest. If you need anything, just say the word! You haven't gone to the inner hall to pick your reward as I promised last time!"
If he hadn't mentioned it, Jin Bao'er would have forgotten. After nodding, the master and his two disciples turned to leave.
Upon returning to Flower Blooming Peak, Jin Bao'er noticed the solemn expressions on her master and senior brothers' faces, feeling quite helpless! She, the direct target, wasn't that troubled, but they were already worrying.
"Please don't worry about me! Sooner or later, I will surpass Lou Yun, and no one will dare bully me again!"
As she finished speaking, a pain surged in her chest again. She quickly took a pill and went into seclusion. She had returned in a hurry and hadn't had time to consolidate her cultivation. It was a good opportunity to rest for a few days.
Peace lasted in the room for only a few seconds…
"Tch, do you really think that by surpassing someone in the Out of Body stage, you'll become the number one in the world?"
A mocking voice echoed. Jin Bao'er shook her head.
"Senior, please don't pick on me! I know there's the Upper Realm after ascension! Your Upper Realm is full of powerful beings, and I am indeed ordinary! But who can say for sure about the future! If it were a few years ago, Senior probably wouldn't have believed I could reach this point!"
Long Lixing fell silent… A few years ago? He had only thought this little girl would eventually bring about her own demise, allowing him to legitimately take control of this body, then reclaim his strength and return to the Upper Realm to give that old fox who sealed him a good thrashing, and make him taste the boredom of being sealed for hundreds of years!
Who would have thought that after a few years, he would unknowingly start to worry about this little girl's safety, fearing what would happen to him if she met with misfortune?!
Thinking of this, he suddenly froze. What would happen to him if she met with misfortune? How could he have such a terrifying and insane thought!
Receiving no reply, Jin Bao'er, as usual, entered a state of recuperation…
She opened her eyes again the next day at noon. This was precisely the day her former Sect Master, Xiao Baishan, died! Jin Bao'er went to collect her reward as scheduled, attracting numerous disciples to turn their heads as she passed.
"Is that the legendary Senior Sister Jin Bao'er? So amazing! I heard she's already at the Soul Transformation stage!"
"Isn't it! I could tell when she was first in the entrance test, ranking first. Her talent is absolutely incredible! Even Venerable Lou Yun didn't hesitate to lower himself to take her as a disciple, but she refused…"
"Wow! That amazing! Senior Sister Jin is also very beautiful. I've never seen anyone more beautiful than Senior Sister Jin!"
"Hmph… Didn't you say just a few days ago that Junior Sister Su Xianzhi was the most beautiful? What happened, did you change your mind in less than two days?"
"Pfft, can that be compared? One is an empty shell with only beauty, while the other is a cold and aloof senior sister with both strength and beauty. Even a dog knows how to choose!"
"……..."
Amidst the chatter, these words were clearly heard by a certain disciple and relayed to Su Xianzhi…
Xiao Yun Hall!
The beautiful but enraged maiden had remained silent since waking up that day, even refusing Venerable Lou Yun's visits. She saw no one, until an admirer at the door told her about the disciples' recent whispers.
"CRASH!"
The sound of a vase shattering rang out. The disciple was startled, and the door then opened. Before he could feel surprised…
"Xiao Shi, you can go. They're right, I'm just an empty shell with only beauty! A good-for-nothing!"
The maiden's eyes were filled with exhaustion and dejection, her eyes red and swollen, as if she had just been crying! It was enough to break one's heart! As a devoted admirer who had liked Su Xianzhi for seven years, Xiao Shi couldn't help but feel heartbroken and infatuated.
"Junior Sister, please don't be like this… No matter what others say, you are the most wonderful in my heart!"
Su Xianzhi lowered her gaze, her eyes filled with disgust and impatience. If not for her complete lack of cultivation right now, she wouldn't have continued to string this useless person along!
"I understand…"
Before she could finish speaking, a faint fragrance entered her nostrils. Su Xianzhi's pupils contracted instantly, and she quickly closed the door.
"I'm tired. Xiao Shi, you should go back first."
Though she said this, her eyes were fixed on the disheveled, peerlessly handsome man on the bed. She subconsciously swallowed, then averted her gaze in a panic.
After Xiao Shi left, she looked at the seductive man on the bed with a blush, her eyes darting away.
"What are you doing? Hurry up and put on your clothes! Master is not far away. If he finds out, you'll be dead!"
She didn't know this person's identity, but she could tell he wasn't a good person. If Lou Yun discovered him, it would be a lot of trouble…
Li Yan got up with a sigh, his movements fluid!
"Alright, alright, don't be angry. It's just that your cultivation isn't as good as that female cultivator's. I saw her yesterday too. She is indeed quite good-looking, and her talent is very strong. It looks like she's undergone rigorous training…"
As he spoke, he looked charmingly at Su Xianzhi, and sure enough, he met a pair of furious eyes.
"Ha… It seems you really hate that woman!" He no longer bothered to wear his mask of feigned kindness.
Su Xianzhi snorted, knowing he was teasing her. However, her current predicament wasn't just Jin Bao'er, but also her powerless body!
"I do have a way to help you quickly recover your cultivation and increase it at an extremely rapid pace… but it will require you to pay a price."
His gentle voice was full of temptation, like a demon luring a maiden into temptation.
After yesterday's incident, Su Xianzhi was already pushed to the brink. Hearing this, her eyes lit up instantly. Regardless of whether it was a good method or not, she looked at Li Yan with desperation.
"I agree! Help me! As long as I can gain powerful strength, I'll do anything!"
As she spoke, a terrifying hatred and longing flickered in the maiden's eyes!
Thus, the entire afternoon, Su Xianzhi's room was shrouded by a defensive array, preventing anyone from approaching! Venerable Lou Yun frowned upon seeing this, but this was a trial she had to overcome herself; no one else could persuade her.
A mass of purple mist rapidly filled the entire room. The maiden closed her eyes tightly, her body lifted by the purple mist, her hair fluttering as if in a wind, appearing exceptionally demonic…
Beside her, the alluring and beautiful man hugged her, his eyes narrowing slightly, looking exceptionally relaxed.
"Sleep, little fairy. After you wake up, all the people you hate will disappear from this world."
A murmur reached her ears, and the sleeping maiden slept even more soundly.
