"You, you, you!" The purple-clad female cultivator lay on the ground, frantically wiping the dust off her face.

"I...I...I...Weren't you just spouting nonsense? Why are you stuttering now?"

Gingerbread pointed its spiritual sword at the purple-clad female cultivator.

"You fell and broke your tongue? Go home and get it treated right away, or you might become mute!"

Zhuge Tienan hugged Jiang Bingbing's arm, feeling wronged. "Junior sister, you're finally back."

She's good at fighting, but she really can't swear.

Gingerbread stood on tiptoe and put her arm around Zhuge Tienan's shoulder, "Senior sister, I've got your back!"

She's a pro at dealing with idiots!

"Gingerbread, I want to compete with you in alchemy!" Song Pengpeng thought the woman in the purple dress was embarrassing, so she gave her a wink, and another woman quickly helped her up.

"If you're sick, take your medicine. Stop picking fights all the time. Do you think I'm as idle as you?" She shoved Song Pengpeng aside with her shoulder. "Get out of the way!"

Song Pengpeng was stunned on the spot. After realizing what had happened, she became angry and embarrassed, her face turning red and white. "Gingerbread, I just wanted to challenge you to a match. Isn't that going too far?"

"You guys were being disrespectful to my senior sister just now? You don't respect others, and you expect others to respect you?" Jiang Bingbing crossed her arms. "You lost to me in swordsmanship, and you lost to me in alchemy. What makes you so arrogant?"

"Go home and treat your bad breath. Goodbye!"

"Smack—"

The courtyard gate suddenly closed.

Song Pengpeng's foot was almost caught, and she was so angry at Gingerbread that she couldn't breathe, but she was powerless to refute it.

after all.

She did indeed lose in the sword fight, and she also lost in the alchemy contest.

I came here today hoping to have another alchemy competition, just in case Gingerbread's eighth-grade pill that day was just a fluke?

Unexpectedly, the other party did not give me face.

"Senior sister, let's go back." The female cultivator in the purple dress covered her dirty face with her hands. "I'm too ashamed to face anyone."

Song Pengpeng gave a haughty snort and left with two female cultivators, looking very aggressive.

Gingerbread opened the storage bag, and the rare and precious herbs and pills that Liu Zhufeng had given her were poured out.

The celestial-grade magic treasure radiated a dazzling golden light.

"Wow, Junior Sister, you've struck it rich!" Zhuge Tienan was happy for Jiang Bingbing, but also felt sorry for her. All of this was earned by his junior sister with her life.

The kind of old monster who's addicted to demons.

She didn't even dare to think about it.

I don't know what my junior sister went through to kill it.

While Zhuge Tienan was still thinking about these things, Jiang Bingbing waved her hand generously, "Senior sister, take whatever you like!"

"ah?"

Zhuge Tienan didn't want to spoil the fun, nor did he want to actually take away the treasure his junior sister had worked so hard to earn.

She picked up a less valuable herb.

"Junior sister, I want this."

Gingerbread immediately saw through Zhuge Tienan's thoughts. She picked and chose from a pile of magical treasures, finally selecting a red-tasseled spear.

Just imagining it makes me think how heroic and dashing Zhuge Tienan would be when he wielded his spear.

"Senior sister, this is for you!"

Gingerbread handed over the spear with both hands, saying, "I think the spear suits you very well, it's cool and stylish!"

Zhuge Tienan is also close to achieving the Core Formation stage.

All cultivators who have reached the Core Formation stage possess a natal spiritual weapon.

She has always relied on her fists to conquer the world and hasn't thought about choosing a weapon to protect herself.

Spear.

He's really handsome and suits her perfectly.

Neither of them are the type to dawdle.

Zhuge Tienan took the spear and laughed heartily, saying, "I love it! Junior Sister, you're so kind. You can choose any spirit beast from Beast Taming Peak you want; I'll give you as many as you need!"

She had barely finished speaking when someone hit her hard on the head.

Zhuge Bai joked, "Your father isn't dead yet, and you're already in charge of Beast Taming Peak?"

Zhuge Tienan clutched his head and cried out, “Father, look! It’s the magical artifact that Xiaobing gave me!”

Zhuge Bai glanced at it casually and could tell that the spear in his daughter's hand was a top-tier Heavenly Rank weapon.

Xiaobing is a girl who doesn't hold back at all.

He silently took out a spirit beast egg. "Little Bing, there's not much on Master Uncle's Beast Taming Peak, but there are plenty of spirit beasts. Like this silly girl said, take whatever you want. This egg has been incubating for a hundred years and still hasn't hatched. Take it and give it a try; maybe you can raise some extraordinary spirit beast."

Gingerbread is about to cry.

Stinky and Little Yellow's progress led to her bankruptcy and external debt.

Would you still dare to keep a mythical beast as a pet?

The egg that Uncle Zhuge is giving her now has purple and gold patterns on its shell. The egg actually gives Gingerbread a sense of elegance and luxury, and she is quite fond of it!

never mind,

Let's get another one!

I will absolutely not raise a fourth one.

She held the spirit beast egg in both hands and sincerely thanked her, "Thank you, Senior Uncle. I will nurture it well."

Zhuge Bai: "I should be the one thanking you. Tie Nan is about to form her core, and I didn't know what kind of natal spiritual weapon to find for her. The spear you gave her is very suitable for her, and she likes it too."

The three sat together.

Zhuge Bai asked Jiang Bingbing about the seventh floor of the Nine Heavens Pagoda.

Of course, she answered all her questions without reservation.

I originally planned to stay a few more days before returning to the Sword Sect, but the more I thought about it, the more I wanted to get back to the sect as soon as possible.

After packing up my things.

Just as Zhuge Bai was about to inform Liu Zhufeng, Jiang Bingbing stopped him, "Little Bingbing, what's wrong?"

"Senior Uncle, to ensure everything goes smoothly, let's not tell Sect Leader Liu that we're setting off now." Her expression was solemn.

"Why?" Zhuge Bai reacted, asking incredulously, "You mean you're afraid he'll ambush you halfway? How could Liu Zhufeng dare to do that?"

“There’s no such thing as the best; the problem is that people sometimes don’t think clearly.” Gingerbread flipped over and climbed onto Little Yellow’s back. “Even if Liu Zhufeng wouldn’t do that for the sake of the bigger picture, what if there are treacherous villains from the same camp?”

For example, Song Yuechen, who harmed his sect.

“Okay, I’ll listen to you.” Zhuge Bai thought for a moment. “You and Tie Nan go first. Even if someone notices, they’ll just think you two went out to play. I’ll leave in half an hour.”

Can.

Master Zhuge was indeed steady and cautious.

According to the plan.

Gingerbread and Zhuge Tienan left first.

It flew for more than an hour.

Zhuge Bai, who was traveling in a spaceship, caught up with them.

After the two women boarded the spaceship, Zhuge Bai threw tens of thousands of spirit stones into the formation.

The spaceship is powered by ample spiritual energy.

The flying speed is extremely fast.

Before Gingerbread could even ask...

Zhuge Bai frowned slightly. "When I left, I was entangled by Song Yuechen. Fortunately, Elder Ruan from Mingyue Palace helped to hold him off, which allowed me to escape."

really.

Gingerbread didn't have a strong impression of Elder Ruan. "Is Elder Ruan the elder who works alongside Senior Sister Wushuang?"

Zhuge Bai nodded.

"Yes, she and your Uncle Qin are very close friends."

Amitabha.

Thank you, Elder Ruan.

Zhuge Bai was still shaken, so he frantically stuffed spirit stones into the spaceship, which shortened the return journey by half.

Gingerbread stood at the edge of the spaceship, gazing into the distance.

Under the cover of night, the shadowy peaks of the Sword Sect seemed so warm and welcoming. The cranes circling in the sky seemed to know that the disciples of the Sword Sect had returned, and they kept calling out as they circled in the air. Several cranes flapped their wings and flew past the spaceship.

The spaceship entered the mountain gate.

The tension in Gingerbread's mind suddenly eased.

Standing next to her, Zhuge Tienan also breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally home."

A year ago, Jiang Bingbing felt that Xianyufeng was her home.

She realized it today.

Sword Sect is also her home.

I'm finally home!
