Extra Chapter Xiaobai Chapter 2 (End of the Episode)
As I was gasping for breath in shock, a familiar pressure that carried a mix of worldly and majestic imperial aura silently enveloped me.
Looking up, I saw that my fifth senior brother Lin Jingxuan was already standing on the path ahead. He was dressed in black clothes, with an upright posture. He was holding his ancient hoe and looking at me calmly, as if he had been waiting for ten thousand years.
"Junior sister," he said, his voice was flat, but it made my scalp tighten, "You are already an hour late for today's homework."
Me: “…” Just out of the wolf’s den, and into the tiger’s mouth again. The guidance of Fifth Senior Brother is much more life-threatening than the card game of Killing God. It’s really training to death.
"Fifth Senior Brother..." I tried to struggle and put on a pitiful expression, "I just came back from working overtime in the underworld. I am exhausted. Look at my face... Can you give me a break for a day? Just one day."
Fifth Senior Brother's eyes swept across my face. It was indeed filled with the gloom and fatigue of having just returned from the underworld, but his brows did not move. "Practice is like sailing against the current. If you don't move forward, you will fall behind. When you are tired, you need to sharpen your soul with sword intent to stimulate your potential."
He turned his wrist, and the ancient hoe made a low humming sound. "Today, practice 'Jinghong Lueying' three thousand times. The sword energy must be condensed and must not be lost at all. Let's begin."
My eyes went dark, and the spiritual energy provided by the Qixia Liuli Fruit I just ate instantly lost its fragrance. Three thousand times of "A Glimpse of the Beautiful"? And I need to use the hoeing energy to condense the silk? Are you trying to use me as a perpetual motion machine?
"Fifth Senior Brother, please show some mercy." I wailed, but I dared not disobey. This big man, the reincarnation of the emperor, was a man of his word. If I really got angry, he would dare to send me to the underworld with one sword to "deeply experience" what "soul and body separation" meant.
I resigned myself to my fate and pulled out the Qingfeng sword that my master had casually given me, which was said to be the work of my senior sister in her early years of practice (it was actually quite sharp, but compared with my senior sister's current work, it was more like a fire stick). With a bitter face, I began to swing the sword over and over again in the open space beside the path.
“Swoosh…” “Swoosh…” “Swoosh…”
The sword energy broke through the air, and at first it was crooked and scattered. Fifth Senior Brother stood by with his sword in his arms, like the most stringent supervisor, his eyes as sharp as a hawk. Every time my sword energy dissipated or my movements went wrong, a tiny but extremely condensed imperial sword energy would pop out from his fingertips, hitting my wrist or shoulder blade accurately, without hurting my skin, but it made me grimace in pain and wake up instantly.
"Concentrate your mind and let your thoughts follow the sword."
"The wrist is three points lower, and the lower body is empty and floating."
"This 'Glimpse' move is meant to be swift and fleeting, not to make you run around like a headless fly."
Fifth Brother's comments were concise, sharp, and hit home. I gritted my teeth and vented all my anger towards the official documents from the underworld, the death card game, and a certain heavenly way that was spreading rumors in these three thousand sword moves.
Gradually, sweat soaked my clothes and my arms were so sore that I could hardly lift them, but my spirit was strangely pushed to the extreme by the severe pain and continuous concentration.
The scattered sword energy began to gather, transforming into green rays that were as thin as gossamer threads but had amazing penetrating power, and they shuttled nimbly around his body.
After practicing it about 1,500 times, I could no longer feel the existence of my arms. My whole body was numb as I repeated the movements, supported only by my unwillingness to give up.
Just when I felt like I was about to soar into the sky (exhausted to death), a sneaky figure slipped over like a gecko, clinging to the shadow of the mountain wall.
"Junior sister, junior sister, help me!" It was the junior brother. There were a few fresh marks of dust on his face and his hair was messy. It was obvious that he had just escaped from the "swordsmanship special training" of the second senior brother with great difficulty.
He slipped to the edge of the open space where I practiced swordplay, hid behind a large rock, stuck half of his head out, and said in a low voice, "Quick, help me stop Second Brother, he's gone crazy and has been chasing me for three small spaces.
He insisted that I couldn't eat until I mastered the Seventh Breakthrough of the Void. Is that something a human can practice? I feel like my spatial talent is about to be chopped off by him."
He blinked pitifully, "Just tell me you want to give me some emergency training on spatial agility, quick."
My sword-swinging movement faltered and I almost got a stitch in the side.
You are such a jerk, little brother. Didn't you see that the fifth brother is like an iceberg standing beside you? I can hardly protect myself.
Sure enough, although the younger brother’s voice was small, it could not be hidden from the ears of the fifth brother.
The fifth senior brother swept his cold gaze over, and the youngest senior brother was so scared that he quickly retracted his head behind a rock.
"Junior brother." The fifth brother's voice was not loud, but it was filled with unquestionable majesty. "Go back and accept your punishment. If you disturb Junior Sister's sword practice again, I will personally teach you the way of space."
A desperate wail from the junior brother was heard from behind the stone, followed by a wave of space distortion, and it was obvious that he had fled in panic again.
I glanced sympathetically in the direction of the stone, then continued swinging my sword heroically. Yes, another fellow sufferer.
Three thousand times, I finally finished it when I was so tired that my soul was about to leave my body.
When the sword was swung for the last time, the condensed green sword energy, like a silk thread, made a "swish" sound and silently cut a piece of stubborn stone as big as a millstone several feet away into two halves, and the broken surface was as smooth as a mirror.
I leaned on the sword, gasping for breath, and felt like I had just been pulled out of the water. I didn't even have the strength to lift a finger.
The fifth brother looked at the smooth cut. His face, which had been frozen for thousands of years, seemed to... seemed to have loosened slightly. He nodded, "Not bad. I will practice 'Changhong Guanri' two thousand times tomorrow."
Me: "..." I almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Still okay? Still need to practice more? Fifth Brother, are you a devil?
Just as I was complaining madly in my heart and was about to drag my lead-filled legs back to my cave to lie dead, a familiar figure arrived with a gust of fragrant wind, like a savior.
"Oh my, look at what our poor little one has become because of Old Five."
Fourth Senior Sister Bai Yanyan walked over with graceful steps, holding a white jade cup in her hand that exuded an alluring sweet fragrance and rich spiritual energy.
She ignored the gaze of Fifth Brother, which instantly turned a little colder, and walked straight up to me, wiping the sweat off my forehead with a handkerchief with concern (actually, it was more like taking advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of me).
"Come here. Senior Sister loves you. She just asked the Imperial Kitchen (the Demon King's Palace) to send over the 'Nine Treasures and Hundred Flowers Condensed Dew Soup'. It is made with ten thousand year old snow lotus core, seven color spirit royal jelly and dozens of natural treasures. It is the best for nourishing the soul and restoring vitality."
She stuffed the jade cup into my hand and winked at me ambiguously, "Drink it quickly to replenish your body and restore your spirit.
In a couple of days, Senior Sister will take you to the Monster Clan Handsome Men Conference to broaden your horizons. I promise to pick out a few of the most beautiful and sensible ones for you. We women should be nicer to ourselves..."
The soup in the jade bowl was crystal clear, and the aroma was so strong that it almost overflowed. I was so tired that my head was dizzy, and when I smelled the fragrance, I subconsciously wanted to take it.
"Bai Yan Yan!" The voice of the fifth brother was like a Siberian cold current, and every word was filled with ice. "Say it again?"
The terrifying imperial pressure was like a physical hammer, smashing down on the Fourth Senior Sister.
Fourth Senior Sister's face changed, and the demonic energy in her body instinctively surged to protect her, but she was still shocked and took a half step back, and she almost dropped the jade cup in her hand.
She looked at the eyes of the fifth senior brother, which seemed to be spitting out tangible sword energy, and finally gave in.
"I'm just...joking. Why are you so fierce?" She pouted and stuffed the jade bowl into my arms. "The soup is real. It's for my junior sister's health. Humph."
After saying that, she didn’t dare to stay any longer and turned into a red light, running away faster than her junior brother.
I held the warm jade cup, looked at the face of my fifth senior brother, and thought about the bold words of my fourth senior sister at the "beautiful man conference". I felt extremely tired. In this sect, why is it so difficult to be a quiet and indifferent Hades?
During the day, he is "cared for" by his senior brothers in turn. At night, he is forced to play cards by the gods. In the middle, he is dragged by his senior sister to "see the world"... He is even afraid to take supplements!
"Drink it." Fifth Brother looked at my listless appearance, his pressure subsided, and his tone seemed to soften a little, "Don't listen to her nonsense.
Meditation and practice are the right path." He paused and added, "After drinking, go to Master to report today's homework, and then... rest early."
This was probably the most "gentle" thing that Senior Brother Five could say. I felt as if I had been pardoned. I quickly held the jade cup and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yes, yes, Senior Brother is right. I'll go right away."
Holding the priceless "Nine Treasures and Hundred Flowers Condensed Dew Soup", I dragged my body as if it had been stepped on by ten thousand spirit beasts, and staggered with every step towards Qingxiu Peak where my master was.
There was only one thought in my mind: finish the report quickly, and then go back to my little nest to lie still. Card games, handsome men, and messages from heaven, all of them, get out of the way. This Pluto just wants to sleep now.
I finally reached the entrance of the headmaster's cave, which was so simple that it was almost shabby (it was said that the headmaster was gambling and his funds were deducted?). Before I could report, I heard the headmaster's full-throated and somewhat frustrated roar from inside:
"Liu Fufeng, you bastard, are you deducting my share again? Where is the 'Star Tear' I wanted?
What about the protective soft armor prepared for the new apprentice?
Did you use them all to fill the holes in the mountain repair?
That was chopped by your uncle. If you have the guts, go ask her for it. If you are so stingy, what is the point of me being an elder? You might as well go to the Demon Realm and drink with the old Demon Lord, you traitor! "
Well, it seems that Junior Brother Liu is taking advantage of the Master again.
I shrank my neck and felt the condensed dew soup in my hand became even more fragrant.
At least, this thing has not been "confiscated" yet.
Inside the cave, the head brother continued to roar: "...What? You said that Jimo Bai is willing to pay half? The other half is on Senior Sister? That girl is wanted by you and you can't even find her Taoist partner. Where are you going?
Also, the old demon master came to me again yesterday and asked me to give him a position as an elder. The conditions are up to us... You decide! If it doesn't work out, I will take my little apprentice and Huanhuan to travel tomorrow, and you can take whoever you want as the head of the sect."
I quietly found a clean stone block at the door and sat down, sipping the sweet and nourishing Condensed Dew Soup, listening to the "bargaining" between Junior Brother Liu and the Master (probably the communication jade talisman) inside.
The afterglow of the setting sun fell on my body, making me feel warm. In the distance, I could hear the faint sound of explosions coming from the direction of the Second Senior Brother's weapon refining room, and the faint cold sword energy of the Senior Senior Sister coming from a certain direction...
The sect's chaotic day seemed far from over.
And for me, the junior sister who holds the important post of Hades and struggles to survive in the pile of Gu Kings, the only comfort at this moment is the bowl of sweet soup in my arms, and... the infinite yearning for a vacation in Dragon Palace and eating and drinking with gold nuggets in a month.
Oh, by the way, there is also the wedding of Junior-Junior Naughty Yuyan and Junior-Junior Naughty Shen. I hope that by then, these troublesome bosses will calm down and let me enjoy the feast in peace.
I swallowed the last mouthful of dew soup and sighed with satisfaction. Life is not easy, Pluto sighed.
But life has to go on, right? At least today's snacks are not bad.
By the way, it’s rare that I didn’t see those demon king-level monsters coming to guard the sect today, nor did I meet Elder Xuan Ce Wu who came to discuss Taoism with me in a weird way. Not bad, not bad.
I patted my butt and stood up. I took a deep breath, put on a well-behaved (fake smile) expression on my face, and shouted into the cave:
"Master, I can't find my master. Please tell him that I am here to report today's lessons. It's not my fault if you are not here."
"Aotian, Aotian, where are you? Come quickly. We are going down the mountain to play."
