Moon Over the Sea

There is a very beautiful sea in the Yuankong Secret Realm. Under the light of two and a half suns, it looks like an endless sapphire, with sparkling waves and the sea and sky merging into one.

A group of people rode on dolphins and went up the waves. Fishes jumped out to play with them, coral trees showed off their beautiful bodies, and huge bodies of strange beasts flashed by on the sea. Occasionally, when waves came, they would ride them head on. When the sun set in the west and the bright moon rose over the sea, everyone could not help but marvel at the mysterious and magnificent nature.

Under the cover of night, a group of people stepped onto an unfamiliar beach, said goodbye to the dolphins, and were about to build a bonfire and have a barbecue by the sea when they heard cries for help not far away.

Everyone rushed over and fished out a soaking wet woman from the sea. Bai Roushuang took a closer look and found that it was Xiao Ya, the daughter of the Lingxiao Sect. Her clothes were disheveled and she was trembling all over. She looked very delicate and had tears in her eyes. "I got separated from them and was almost bullied just now. I had no choice but to jump into the sea to escape. Can you let me follow you first?"

Naturally, this matter would be decided by Xu Shulou. Bai Roushuang sighed inwardly, thinking that her senior sister would definitely be soft-hearted again.

Sure enough, Xu Shulou smiled and said, "Okay, follow me if you want."

Xiao Ya was immediately grateful, and when she saw that they wanted to grill meat, she quickly asked everyone to sit down and rest. She busied herself grilling portion after portion of meat and presented it to everyone, and she was so busy that sweat dripped from her forehead.

Xu Shulou also ordered her to cut spiritual fruits for everyone, pour wine and serve tea, fan them and pick up dishes. He also asked her to clean up a plate of barbecue that was accidentally knocked over, which kept her busy.

After they had enough food and drink, Xu Shulou instructed her to clean up the beach, then he smiled and looked at her: "Are you angry?"

Xiao Ya shook her head: "I don't dare."

"Really? You weren't angry even though I knocked over the plate of meat you drugged?"

The forced smile on Xiao Ya's face froze on her lips: "Miss Xu, what do you mean by this?"

"You are not pretending very well. With Miss Xiao's temper, this is not appropriate."

Xiao Ya was the princess that Bai Roushuang had guessed was a princess who lived a life of luxury and had never suffered. The Xiao royal family spent countless treasures to buy her a position as a disciple of the elders of Lingxiao Sect. Whether in the story or in reality, this princess obviously had a bad temper. She didn't know how to bow her head, so how could she be so humble in front of Xu Shulou?

As soon as she finished speaking, she folded her fan and used her spiritual power to fix Xiao Ya in front of her. She grabbed her face with her left hand and took out a transparent object with a slight flesh color. When the object was removed from "Xiao Ya's" face, she revealed a slightly ordinary female face.

Bai Roushuang was startled and took a closer look at the girl: "You... aren't you the person we robbed in the ice cave that day? You, you followed us all the way?"

"..." The group from Wuchen Island ate and drank, walked and stopped along the way, so it was not difficult to keep up with them. The woman looked at Xu Shulou, "How do you know which plate I put the drug in..."

Xu Shulou smiled at her: "Just in case, I have asked the little fox to help keep an eye on you. You have good skills, and it is always bad to waste."

Bai Roushuang was furious: "You deliberately tore your clothes and pretended to be almost bullied, just to take advantage of Senior Sister's sympathy! What do you want to do? Infiltrate our team, poison everyone, kill people and steal treasures?!"

The woman didn't answer, she just looked at Xu Shulou: "You saw it a long time ago? Why didn't you expose me just now?"

Xu Shulou said innocently: "We just need someone to help with the barbecue."

“……”You are really a piece of shit.

Xu Shulou fiddled with the thing in his hand: "I want this. I won't ask you what you want to do. I just want to ask if you have any magic weapon that can buy your life."

The woman knew she couldn't escape, so she had to take out her storage bag for the person in front of her to choose.

"You happen to have the shape-changing grass, that's good." Xu Shulou picked up one of the spiritual herbs and handed it to the little fox.

The little fox was extremely excited and immediately thanked Xu Shulou profusely.

"No need to thank me," Xu Shulou pointed at the woman, "You should thank this strange senior sister for coming all the way to deliver something. Come on, everyone, don't be polite, each pick one."

The woman's mouth twitched, which was noticed by Bai Roushuang, who angrily said, "Are you trying to scold my senior sister?!"

"..." Look at what your senior sister said, is that human language? Shouldn't she be scolded?

Xu Shulou picked up a porcelain bottle, opened the lid and sniffed it, frowned slightly, and threw the bottle into the bonfire. A blue and green light burned in the flames: "Xian Shi, such a precious poison, no wonder you are reluctant to use more."

Xu Shulou looked at the woman in front of him, seemingly hesitating. After a while, he raised his hand and pressed it on her dantian.

"The drug you gave me is too poisonous. I don't want your life, but your intentions are not right. You should be sent back to the foundation building stage to practice your mind again."

"Please don't! It took me decades to build my foundation and reach the golden elixir stage!"

The woman's voice was shrill and a bit of panic finally appeared on her face. She used a magic weapon to hide her tracks and followed Xu Shulou from a distance. When she saw Xu Shulou saving people, she guessed that she was soft-hearted and would not kill anyone, so she took a risk. She never expected this to happen.

To knock someone back from the Golden Core stage to the Foundation Establishment stage with one palm strike requires cultivation of at least the top Nascent Soul stage.

But judging by her precise control, without damaging other meridians at all, it seems that she is more than just at the top Nascent Soul stage.

What is above the Nascent Soul stage? She can’t possibly be in the Spiritual Transformation stage… Where in the world of cultivation is there such a young person in the Spiritual Transformation stage?

The woman struggled in vain. She covered her pubic area with a pale face and left dejectedly like a stray dog.

Xu Shulou was looking at her back, and Bai Roushuang was looking at Xu Shulou.

She saw the hesitation of her senior sister before she took action, so she couldn't help but sigh and held her senior sister's hand.

Xu Shulou was a very gentle person by nature. If she could be a princess for the rest of her life, it would be the greatest mercy from God. However, fate had placed her in this position, and she would eventually be involved in killing.

———

After a good night's sleep, Bai Roushuang woke up from her dream and saw the senior sister floating in the air.

It was the kind of floating in the literal sense. Xu Shulou was like a weightless leaf, floating in the air, resting on the wind, letting the airflow brought by the wind blow her away and then back.

Senior Sister, are you treating me like a kite? Bai Roushuang found this quite interesting.

Jiang Yan handed her breakfast and explained to her: "Senior Sister likes to float like this when she is thinking."

Bai Roushuang nodded, took a bite of the bun, and saw Ji Ci playing a zither not far away. This was a magic weapon he got in the ice cave the day before. It was really not suitable for him, a hot-tempered swordsman. The exquisite zither made a sawing sound from time to time when he plucked it.

Xu Shulou was probably also annoyed by his noise. He floated down from the air and landed lightly on the ground: "This is a magic weapon of sound cultivators. I heard that when they practice it to the extreme, they can kill people without being seen."

As she spoke, she casually stroked the strings of the zither twice, and Bai Roushuang immediately covered her ears obediently.

Xu Shulou looked at her with a smile: "Why are you covering your ears? How can I have the skill of sound repair?"

Bai Roushuang flattered her awkwardly: "In my mind, Senior Sister can do anything."

The little fox wanted to wait until it was in a safe place before taking the transformation grass, so it changed back into beast form, picked a bunch of wild flowers from the mountainside, made a bunch of light pink and red, and brought them back to Xu Shulou.

Xu Shulou leaned over and picked up the fox and the flower together, holding them in his arms, caressing them, touching their ears, and pulling their tail.

No wonder everyone hates vixens. Bai Roushuang took a bite of the bun viciously. She is charming in human form and cute in beast form. Is she going to leave any chance for others to survive?

Another female demon cultivator who was having breakfast nearby was probably looking at her with envy. Bai Roushuang noticed out of the corner of her eye that two furry white ears suddenly appeared in her hair and she immediately glared at them. One was enough, what if another one came?

The demon cultivator was glared at by her and retracted his ears in fear, chewing the spiritual herbs in small bites with a wronged look.

"Miss Xu, try this, this spiritual fruit I just found." A crisp female voice sounded.

It felt a bit strange. Bai Roushuang looked in the direction of the voice and was stunned. She quickly asked Jiang Yan beside her: "Fifth Senior Brother, who is this?"

"While you were sleeping, Senior Sister saved a pair of Taoist lovers from the mouth of a poisonous bee."

“…”

Very good, Bai Roushuang thought cheerfully, when they meet Lingxiaomen next time, their team might be even stronger than their team of a hundred men.
