Chapter 336
The icy chill made Bai Yu shiver.
He felt that the current situation was somewhat ambiguous, but he also knew that the person in front of him had no intention of crossing any boundaries for him.
It's his own heart that's so dirty.
But was it his heart, or the tainted feelings he had for the Immortal Venerable?
His pupils contracted sharply, and he felt utterly disgusted.
Ling Wu withdrew her fingertips that had been probing his eyes, her tone filled with easily detectable worry, "The injury is too severe, but it will grow back once you ascend to become a true immortal and reshape your body."
It's a pity he couldn't ascend to immortality.
Bai Yu accepted the comfort, but his delusional thoughts prevented him from raising his head. He only retreated after responding.
Lingwu, who remained inside, picked up the still-warm teacup and sipped it.
The little brat is very good at brewing tea.
After that day, Bai Yu dared not get too close to Ling Wu anymore, and instead worked even harder to cultivate.
A month later, Jingyi brought Jingsi to visit Half Moon Peak.
While serving, Bai Yu did not forget to practice his cultivation techniques.
Jing Si sat obediently and properly upon arriving at Half Moon Peak, holding the tea presented by Bai Yu in both hands, and secretly glancing at Ling Wu.
The woman with crimson skin sitting next to him would peel the nuts and hand them to Ling Wu without hesitation, before starting her rambling:
"About two weeks ago, several sect leaders approached our senior brother, saying they were going to attack that newly emerging demonic sect, and it seems they will be setting off soon."
"I heard that the demonic sect acts recklessly and ostentatiously, and its leader claims to be a saintess."
As Jingyi spoke, she frowned and added, "That Holy Maiden is highly skilled, ruthless, and has an endless variety of tricks up her sleeve. Several Immortal Venerables have fallen victim to her. Junior Sister, you must be careful when you see her in the future."
Ling Wu nodded calmly, seemingly unaware of who the "Holy Maiden" was.
"I'll avoid her from now on," she said.
Jingyi paused, hesitated for a long time, and then said, "With Junior Sister's strength, there's really no need for her to hide."
Ling Wu smiled but remained silent.
Jingyi shook his head, handed the peeled nuts in his hand to Lingwu, and only after seeing her eat them did he continue speaking with satisfaction.
Just thinking about what she was going to say made her frown: "The demonic sect does indeed deserve to be destroyed. Since the emergence of the demonic sect after that secret realm, disciples from various sects have been going missing one after another."
"Some disciples joined the demonic sect and, as if they had lost their minds, vowed to serve the demonic sect to the death. That's fine, but the key issue is that a very small number of disciples died violently in the streets, and their deaths were extremely hateful."
"There wasn't a drop of blood on his body, but his nose and mouth were cut off, and his tendons in his feet and hands were severed."
Jingyi frowned again when the matter was mentioned, "However..."
She paused before speaking with a complicated expression: "However, those disciples who died violently often took pleasure in bullying mortals and low-level cultivators. Most disciples applauded when they learned of their violent deaths."
"Sigh, I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing."
Ling Wu didn't reply, but instead glanced at Bai Yu, whose expression remained unchanged.
This little brat has matured quite a bit, and he won't show any reaction when people mention him to his face.
Fortunately, he now has many concerns and only dares to target those who do evil, not daring to put his heart of sacrifice on ordinary disciples.
Bai Yu, who was standing to the side and had just been glanced at by Ling Wu, had sweaty palms and cold limbs.
Why would the Immortal Venerable look at herself?
Did the Celestial Venerable discover that he had sacrificed these people?
Unaware that the thief in his words was right beside him, Jingyi reluctantly got up to say goodbye as he looked at the sky.
Seeing Jing Si dawdling as he was leaving, Jing Yi pouted at him, then smiled sweetly at Ling Wu:
"Junior Sister, Xiao Si said he had received your guidance and came with me today to thank you. It's all my fault for talking too much and forgetting about him for a moment."
After saying that, she nudged Jing Si and said, "Hurry up and give it to your junior uncle."
Jing Si then took out a ring, "Junior Uncle, I... I once heard Immortal Venerable Dan Chi say..."
He was speechless with astonishment at his own son calling him the Immortal Venerable Dan Chi, but he didn't interrupt.
Jing Si continued, "I heard that you are only focused on cultivation and have rarely come down the mountain, so I went down the mountain to find some small items in the hopes that they will make you happier."
"I also hope that Junior Uncle can see the light after the clouds have parted."
Jingyi was completely confused; what did it mean to "see the moon clearly"?
But Lingwu understood his meaning, reached out and took the ring, and didn't forget to return a new one.
"Your Majesty the Emperor did not leave seclusion for the time of your first birthday ceremony, so we will make up for it now," Ling Wu said calmly.
He accepted the ring with surprise but showed no joy, because he realized that his junior uncle was pointing out the difference in their status.
Jing Si lowered her head and silently slipped the ring onto her finger before leaving.
Only after he left did Lingwu have a moment to check what was inside the ring.
Candied hawthorns, rattles, hairpins, grasshoppers, and many other strange and wonderful things were displayed, each accompanied by a note with a wish.
But most of them were rare and precious materials that he didn't know where they came from, and there was even a sycamore leaf that had turned into a small bud.
This shows how much effort they put into it.
Lingwu planted the leaf in the Sumeru Realm before looking at Baiyu, who was tidying up the table.
Noticing Ling Wu's gaze, Bai Yu composed himself before tentatively asking, "Immortal Venerable, did the Demonic Sect really kill people?"
Upon hearing this, Ling Wu did not nod, but continued to look at him. "I did not witness it myself, so I cannot determine whether it was the work of the Demonic Sect."
Caught off guard by the stare, Bai blurted out in a panic, "Then do you think those people deserved to die?"
He regretted his words as soon as they left his mouth, but Ling Wu calmly replied, "Not innocent."
There was no answer as to whether he should die or not, but the answer was enough to ease Bai Yu's tense heart.
Lingwu then asked, "When did you become interested in these things?"
Meeting Ling Wu's emotionless gaze, Bai Yu lowered his head and replied with words he had already prepared: "This disciple wants to go home to visit, but I am afraid of encountering members of the Demonic Sect."
"Tomorrow."
"Ah? What does the Immortal Venerable mean..."
"Tomorrow I will take you home. It's also time for me to go home and take a look around."
"Really!?" Bai Yu's eyes lit up with surprise, and he left with a joyful stride after receiving a definite answer.
Ling Wu packed up the spiritual treasures she had obtained from Bai Yu during her trip to the secret realm, and then took out the golden egg.
A crack appeared on the golden egg, and under Ling Wu's gaze, the crack gradually widened until a dragon's head emerged.
Sure enough, it was the little golden dragon that had withstood the lightning tribulation for Bai Yu.
It casually scanned the room, then timidly looked at Lingwu.
“%#@” “%?~!” The little golden dragon opened its mouth and uttered a bunch of incoherent language.
Seeing that Lingwu ignored it, it stretched out its paw and lay on the eggshell in a pitiful manner.
A dark cloud the size of a head suddenly appeared on the glittering little head, covered with lightning, and the next moment it started to rain.
In an instant, the entire ground was soaked, and the wet ground froze, with the cold air emanating from the ice radiating a terrifying power.
Ling Wu stepped onto the ice, and the ice shattered into pieces around her, disappearing into the world!
The little golden dragon blinked, staring blankly at the scene, while the dark clouds above its head slowly shrank and finally disappeared.
It clung to the eggshell and flew out of the egg, hovering cautiously in front of Lingwu's shoes. It then looked up at Lingwu, as if curious about how she had made the ice disappear.
"Master~" the little golden dragon called out sweetly.
Seeing the golden dragon fawning over it, Wu'a was so angry that it stammered, "Master, it...it...it's imitating Wu'a!"
"It, it's in the space, and it's telling Wua that it doesn't like its owner, and that it's going to fly away to find its wife as soon as it hatches!"
Unaware that his secret had been exposed, the golden dragon, with stars in his eyes, imitated the tone of "woo-ah": "Master is so beautiful, woo-ah, I love Master."
Wua cried out in a sob, "Master, it stole Wua's name!"
Ling Wu pinched her brows, annoyed by the noise. Were these two little things like this in Baiyu in their previous two lives?
The next day, when they set off, the golden dragon, who had been given the name "Little Cloud," obediently returned to the space. Wua also stopped crying and smiled, saying, "Master, Wua will teach Little Cloud well!"
It will teach you well!
It will definitely teach it properly what it means to be the eldest and the second eldest... no, wait!
They are the second and third children!
The boss is the master!
In the dilapidated courtyard of the Bai family, a man in a black robe wearing a fox mask and a girl in a pale yellow dress stood facing each other.
Zhu Ping'an touched the pale yellow bracelet on her wrist, looked at the black robe of the person opposite her, and asked hesitantly, "May I ask your name?"
What is the relationship between this person in black robes and his savior, who is also in black robes?
Fu Xue's mind was completely captivated by the bracelet.
She had seen "her" wrist, and she was wearing the exact same bracelet.
She suppressed the urge to cry and asked Zhu Ping'an in a cold voice, "Who are you to 'her'?"
