I'm just a pet

Seeing that everyone was about to leave, the Sheng family held a very formal farewell banquet for them. The banquet had all kinds of dishes that everyone liked. Sheng's mother and Sheng Wuyou took turns hugging Xu Shulou again, and stuffed all the clothes and jewelry they had made into her so that she could change them on the way.

"Miss Xu, remember to write us a letter after you recover," Mother Sheng said softly.

Xu Shulou nodded: "Mr. Dan is a famous alchemist in the world, he must have a way, everyone please don't worry about me."

Both Sheng's father and mother sighed in their hearts. They knew that after this separation, they might not have the chance to see each other again. In the world of cultivators, it might take several years to go out for an adventure or a retreat.

Xu Shulou toasted them and said, "When you two go to Wuchen Island for a short stay in the future, ask Song Ping to bring me a message. I'm sure we'll have a chance to meet again."

"Okay." The two responded with a smile.

Everyone drank some wine. Xu Shulou saw Sheng's mother patting Song Ping on the shoulder. Before the marriage, she was only worried about her daughter, a mortal, but now she has a clear idea of ​​what Song Ping, a cultivator, will face.

Song Ping noticed her kindness and smiled at Mother Sheng: "Wuyou and I are about to leave the Sheng Mansion to see the scenery of the cultivation world. I wonder if the two of you would like to go out for a walk together?"

Both of them were a little hesitant. Of course they wanted to go, but it was not convenient for Song Ping to fly with three people alone. If they were to take a mortal carriage, it would be bumpy. Although they were in good health, they could not withstand the long-term tossing and turning.

Song Ping had thought it through: "I have rented some flying deer from the Xianxia Sect. They should be delivered in two days. This kind of spiritual beast pulls the cart very steadily and there will be no bumps at all."

Only then did Sheng's father and mother agree with joy on their faces.

In this way, the separation did not make them too sad.

After the farewell banquet, several junior fellow students returned to Xuancang College. Xu Shulou also said goodbye to the Sheng family and embarked on a new journey with his junior fellow students.

———

Endless sea.

It is clearly just a lake, but it is called the Endless Sea.

At this time, Xu Shulou and Bai Roushuang were boating on this lake. There was an ancient formation here that prevented cultivators from flying over the lake. If they tried to break through by force, they would just keep circling in the sky and could never fly out again. This was probably the origin of the name "Endless".

But this formation had no effect on the people nearby. They lived by the lake and made a living by fishing in the lake for generations. They had no idea that there was anything mysterious about this place.

Mr. Dan lived on the other side of the Endless Sea. Bai Roushuang had to deal with Xu Shulou who might disappear at any time along the way. When she saw interesting things along the way, she was often persuaded by her senior sister to play with them. By the way, she also did some chivalrous work. It took her some time to get here.

When she just landed near the Endless Sea, someone came up to her and asked, "Miss, do you want to hire a boat?"

Bai Roushuang looked at him and asked, "Are you also a cultivator?"

"That's right. Almost all the cultivators who appear around here are going to visit Mr. Dan on the other side of the lake." The man pointed to the other side of the lake. "So I do some small business here to earn some spirit stones."

Bai Roushuang was curious: "Can't I just fly around the edge of the lake? At most I can just take a detour."

The man was not in a hurry to make the deal, but just made a gesture of invitation: "You will know if you try it."

"..." Bai Roushuang didn't want to try it. She was always willing to listen to advice, which was why she was boating on the lake at this time.

The lake is very large, with the center of the lake gradually becoming deserted and quiet. The green mountains on both sides are dyed red by maple leaves, which is a wonderful scenery.

Xu Shulou lay quietly in her clothes. Bai Roushuang was thinking that it would be nice to take her sister to enjoy the breeze and the surrounding scenery. Suddenly, the boatman turned around and grinned at her: "Miss, do you want wontons or flat noodles?"

Bai Roushuang was stunned for a moment, and quickly sent a voice message to ask her senior sister: "What does this mean? Is it some kind of jargon?"

"I don't know. Food? Give me one portion each." Xu Shulou answered casually.

Bai Roushuang looked at the boatman and felt that he didn't seem to want to provide her with food, but she still said, "Give me one portion each."

The boatman was stunned and had to explain to her: "These are two different ways of killing people. I want to ask you... Never mind, what I mean is, do you want money or life?"

Robbery? Bai Roushuang suddenly realized, and Xu Shulou said regretfully: "So there are no wontons to eat?"

“…”

Seeing that Bai Roushuang didn't say anything, the boatman put away the oars, took out a knife and knocked on the boat impatiently: "Hurry up and decide! Bring out the five hundred high-grade spirit stones, and I will escort you across the river peacefully and respectfully. If you refuse, don't blame me for being rude!"

Anyway, with her senior sister around, Bai Roushuang was full of confidence, and she showed an even more arrogant attitude than the boatman: "I want both money and life!"

"Are you sure? Don't forget, you can't fly away or escape from here," the boatman hesitated and advised her, "Five hundred high-grade spirit stones are enough to buy your life. This price is not expensive. Everyone who goes to see Mr. Dan carries a lot of money. Why are you being stingy?"

"Stop talking nonsense," Bai Roushuang knocked on the hull with her sword, "Please row down!"

If he continued to persuade him, it would be beneath the dignity of a robber. The boatman spat into his palm and said, "Okay, today I will teach you how powerful I am!"

Bai Roushuang immediately called out, "Senior Sister!"

Xu Shulou leaned over to see what the boatman was doing, and put on the rabbit hat that Bai Roushuang had carefully sewn for her but she had never worn before: "Don't look at me, I'm just a spirit pet."

Bai Roushuang: “…Ah?”

She was stunned for a moment. Although she was indeed touched by her sister's cuteness, she was facing the enemy at the critical moment. She was in a daze for a moment and could only raise her sword to block the opponent's machete: "Senior sister, help me!"

Xu Shulou's voice reached her ears slowly: "You can beat him."

Bai Roushuang was stunned. She had fought with many people on the cruise ship before, but it was just a brief exchange. She was a little timid when facing this kind of cultivator who was willing to take risks. Seeing the other party's big knife swinging vigorously, she was suppressed and kept dodging. There was not much room to dodge on this small boat.

She squeezed out three words from the corner of her mouth: "Are you sure?"

Xu Shulou's voice came with a smile: "What are you afraid of? Go ahead and fight, I'll back you up."

Yes, what are you afraid of? Bai Roushuang gritted her teeth. With her senior sister's words, what else is there to worry about? She simply changed her offensive, stopped dodging, and rushed forward instead of attacking.

The boatman was also stunned when he saw that she suddenly stopped dodging, and revealed a flaw in his stunned state, which was immediately seized by Bai Roushuang and attacked fiercely.

In his line of work, he had fought against many cultivators and naturally knew how to judge people. Before Bai Roushuang landed on the edge of the Endless Sea, he looked up and observed her sword-riding speed. He had a rough idea of ​​her realm. She didn't look like she had any experience in the martial arts world, so she probably didn't have much experience in actual combat with others.

In addition, they are not familiar with the environment of the Endless Sea, so they dare not fly around on the water and are timid. Even if a fight breaks out, they will be easily scared away. The boatman will only take action after he has made a judgment in his mind.

However, the girl dodged several moves and suddenly attacked fiercely, almost hurting him. The boatman became ruthless and did not give her a chance to pay back, intending to kill her with a knife.

He was furious, but Bai Roushuang gritted her teeth and refused to retreat. The attacks of the two were more fierce than the other. The boatman did this, and she just relied on her confidence.

Bai Roushuang's sword skills were always light and agile, but this was the first time she fought with full force. She became a little excited, and thought that it was no wonder that her senior sister liked to fight like this. It was really fun. Her attack became more and more fierce, and she no longer stabbed and stabbed, but simply used the sword to chop and cut with spiritual power.

The boatman felt bitter in his mouth. He had made a mistake this time. He met someone who became more and more courageous as the fight went on. When he was about to be forced to the side of the boat, he raised his hand and used a magic weapon that could create an illusion. His real body flashed behind Bai Roushuang.

Bai Roushuang reacted quickly and managed to block his blade. The boatman took the opportunity to temporarily suppress her and tried to force her into the water with his sword. When she came, she saw mortals fishing, but she was not sure if there were any formations specifically targeting cultivators in the water, and she was even more unsure whether walking on water to cross the lake would be considered "flying" by the endless sea, so she did not dare to enter the water and hesitated for a while.

"The swallows are returning to their nests." At this moment, a voice came into her ears.

Bai Roushuang's eyes widened. Yes, she had learned this move on Wuchen Island. The boatman was approaching with a knife, and she leaned back, as if she was finally forced into the water by the knife. The boatman just showed some satisfaction on his face, and then he saw her body hanging in the air above the lake. She fixed herself on the boat with just the movement of her feet, and then spun her body, as light as a swallow skimming the water. She threw the sword in her hand from a tricky angle, and the boatman couldn't dodge in time and was stabbed in the abdomen.

He was wounded and no longer wanted to fight. He immediately jumped into the water and escaped. It is unknown whether he could survive.

Bai Roushuang lowered her head and looked at the blood on the tip of the sword. She was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became excited: "I succeeded, I did it!"

"Yeah," Xu Shulou crawled out from her clothes, "You're amazing."

Bai Roushuang picked up her senior sister and spun her around: "Great! I can do this!"

Seeing that his junior sister was excited, Xu Shulou reluctantly allowed her to "rebel against her superiors".

Bai Roushuang quickly calmed down and put her down a little embarrassedly: "Senior Sister..."

Xu Shulou stood in the palm of his junior sister's hand and high-fived her: "Have confidence in yourself."

Bai Roushuang's heart ached, and she was suddenly touched. She sat down with her legs crossed, put her senior sister on her lap, and said softly, "In fact, when I separated from Lu Beichen, I wanted to walk this path on my own, but when I encountered problems, I still subconsciously wanted to rely on you."

"I'm your senior sister, of course you can rely on me," Xu Shulou smiled, "but don't forget that your own growth is the most important thing."

"I see."

"You've done very well," Xu Shulou looked up at his junior sister, "I won't intervene in situations that you can handle on your own from now on."

"good!"

Bai Roushuang was feeling very confident when she suddenly heard her senior sister ask, "By the way, can you row this kind of boat?"

“No, I won’t…”

"Then we use spiritual power to push ourselves forward?"

"good……"

On the vast blue water, a small boat set sail clumsily.
