She had confirmed multiple times before that there was nothing in the cage, either an item or a presence. To her surprise, upon opening the previously empty cage, she found the true form of the crystal spirit. It seemed to be her means of self-preservation.
"Thank you! But I don't know when Salem will return. We must get to the other side quickly!"
After resting for a while, she finally regained some strength, her expression still serious.
The little girl seemed to love the ice, rolling on the ground happily…
After pondering for a long time, she finally thought of a solution.
"Baby, come here and hug me!"
The little girl, suddenly called, paused. She looked up at her blankly for two seconds, then instantly jumped up, excited and thrilled.
"Coming, coming!"
Her joyful demeanor was different from her previous excitement. Jin Bao'er noticed but said nothing. Embracing her with one arm, she walked back a short distance and then… dashed forward!
From the moment she woke up, she had discovered that her body was extremely sturdy, and her strength was much greater than in her previous life, resembling that of a body cultivator. She didn't know if she had done something after her rebirth, but it was a good thing!
Almost instantly, she shot out, her body flying into the air with incredible speed, quickly approaching the opposite cliff…
This intense and thrilling movement piqued the little girl's curiosity, her eyes wide with excitement!
However, when she was still a step away from the opposite cliff, she began to descend, falling straight down… For a moment, her heart constricted in mid-air. She stretched out her leg and stomped hard, shattering the rock at the very edge of the cliff. She then performed several mid-air somersaults, finally landing steadily…
"Phew…"
Fortunately, she possessed such strength, otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to perform that maneuver!
"Wow~ So amazing! Do it again! Do it again! Big sister, let's do it again! It's so exciting!"
Jin Bao'er: Could she still throw this little girl off now? Didn't she see that she almost fell just now? It could be fatal!
Immediately after, a subtle seriousness appeared on her face.
"Dangerous action, do not imitate! You are still a child, you cannot do such dangerous things."
The little girl pouted reluctantly.
"Alright!"
Saying so, she looked towards the bushes on the other side. They were dark and gloomy, the air cool but not as bone-chilling as in the cave.
"Listen, when we go in, don't make any sound. Stay close to me!"
The little girl tilted her head, her expression quite wronged.
"Big sister, why aren't you calling my name anymore?"
Clearly, this was something she cared about deeply!
Jin Bao'er lowered her gaze, looking at the hope in her eyes. For some reason, a trace of pity welled up in her heart! She had once… looked at Lou Yun in the same way, but in the end, it was always disappointment.
"Let's go… Baby."
As she finished speaking, the little girl's eyes curved into crescent moons again, and she happily took her hand! Her face was filled with contentment.
It had to be said that in the few days since she regained consciousness, she had remained vigilant and guarded, her nerves always taut! But after meeting this little girl, she had finally relaxed for a moment. As long as the girl didn't betray her, she didn't mind taking care of this innocent crystal spirit.
Jin Bao'er was holding the little girl, walking cautiously beside a swamp. It had been two days since she entered the other side of the cliff! During these two days, they had been wandering in the forest but had failed to find the legendary Devil Flower.
"Big sister, it's so dark here. Baby is scared~"
The little girl seemed to sense something. Her small head trembled slightly, and she quickly nestled into Jin Bao'er's embrace, her small hands tightly clutching her clothes.
These series of reactions confirmed her suspicions! She hadn't gone in the wrong direction…
As a crystal spirit, she should naturally be repulsed by extremely Yin things like the Devil Flower.
At this moment, a wisp of smoke quietly spread…
Jin Bao'er noticed and instinctively retreated, only to see a completely purple flower deep within the forest… The defensive array activated, but it was useless!
"Brother Jin, what are you spacing out about?"
A handsome young man with a complexion like jade smiled at her.
The familiar face startled her, but she didn't know how to respond, as her memory contained no trace of this person!
An illusion? But why did it feel so familiar? Could the mist have peeked into her memories just now?
Her thoughts swirled, and she stood motionless…
Li Qingjiu scratched his head.
"My old man sent me to train with you again. He knows my cultivation is lower than yours, so he's clearly making things difficult for me! Sigh… No choice. I heard there's a Huashen Grass on Mount Qiuming, which can help me break through. Why don't you accompany me?"
Jin Bao'er watched him stand there motionlessly. Was this a companion who had appeared in her memories? So verbose…
The next moment, the scene changed. An old man in a Taoist robe walked over with a smile.
"Good disciple, you are indeed worthy of being Master Wei's disciple! Haha! Winning the championship in this grand competition has brought me glory. Come, come, you must attend the celebration banquet!"
As he spoke, the old man walked to the other side. This scene gave her a sense of déjà vu! Looking at the familiar scenery of the Misty Sect beside her, she had indeed changed masters after her rebirth…
At this moment, a massive golden-red phoenix appeared before her, its presence chilling the entire world…
"Master… I've come to take you back!"
Jin Bao'er was stunned. It was Jin Huang!
"Buzz…"
A sharp sword energy flashed past, and the aura of a half-grade immortal artifact assailed her. Jin Bao'er looked up and saw a majestic long sword! She instinctively called out its name!
"Soul Sever…"
"Roar!"
A gigantic white tiger suddenly leaped out from the grass, its untamed aura exuding a soul-shattering pressure!
"Jin Bao'er, you made us search high and low! Hurry and leave with this King!"
Familiar figures suddenly appeared before her, filling the void in her memory and mind. The memories she had lost gradually returned, causing a sharp pain in her head…
At this moment, a sarcastic voice reached her ears…
"Tsk… This is all you've got? Jin Bao'er, if you give up this easily, I will personally erase your soul!"
The voice was deep and magnetic, yet filled with boundless arrogance and disdain. The threat was palpable! It inexplicably ignited her fighting spirit!
Who was he? Why was he in her memories?
A pulling sensation came. She reluctantly turned her head and met the little girl's worried and fearful gaze…
"Baby?"
"Big sister, you're awake? You scared me to death. I thought something was wrong with you, you wouldn't speak, and your face looked so bad!"
Hearing this, Jin Bao'er's mind quickly cleared. Everything that had just happened vanished. She was now standing at the edge of a swamp, just one step away from being swallowed!
Upon seeing this clearly, she quickly retreated two steps, her expression becoming solemn!
