The longsword in Bai Ying's hand trembled violently, its blade gleaming coldly in the moonlight.
His forehead veins bulged, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like a wild beast driven to the brink of despair: "You beast! That's the brother who cherished you like a precious gem since childhood!"
Bai Di—or rather, Bai Di, now occupying Bai Yanfeng's body—revealed a strange smile.
She slowly and deliberately moved her newborn body's fingers, her movements still somewhat clumsy: "Father, your sword-holding posture is incorrect."
The voice was clearly Bai Yanfeng's, but it carried Bai Di's uniquely coquettish tone, "My brother taught me that this is how you should hold a sword."
As she spoke, she suddenly raised her hand, and a sharp sword aura shot out from her fingertips, accurately knocking the longsword out of Bai Ying's hand.
Bai Di tilted her head, and the girlish expression she made on Bai Yanfeng's face was chilling.
She walked slowly forward, each step silently shattering the fallen leaves on the ground.
Zhou Ying suddenly let out a piercing scream and lunged at Bai Di like a madwoman: "Give me back my son! You monster!"
Bai Di gently turned to the side, and Zhou Ying fell heavily to the ground.
She looked down at her mother, her eyes devoid of any warmth: "Mother, didn't you always say you'd give anything for me?" Her voice suddenly turned cold, "Then exchanging my life for my brother's, isn't that exactly what you wanted?"
White Eagle staggered backward, the sight before him making him feel nauseous.
His most beloved son is now using that familiar face to say the most vicious things.
Even more frightening is that Bai Di's control over Bai Yanfeng's body is becoming increasingly proficient at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"You beast! Didn't I already promise you I'd help you find a body?! Why did you still try to harm your brother?!"
"wait?"
Bai Di's cold eyes looked at the person in front of him. "My soul can only be preserved with secret techniques. Even so, it is dissipating every moment. Can your hypocritical promises wait? Can my life wait?"
Of the three of you, only my brother's body is worthy of me. Would you be willing to give him to me? Hmm?
"As for my brother..." Bai Di suddenly giggled, the expression she made on Bai Yanfeng's face so bizarre it was nauseating, "He always said such nice things, like he was willing to trade his life for mine."
Her expression suddenly twisted into a ferocious grimace. "But when I actually took his body, his soul resisted more fiercely than anyone else's! It's all fake, a complete lie!"
"And all of you! Hypocrites! All of you are hypocrites!" Bai Di suddenly screamed hysterically. "Not one of you is truly good to me! If you were really good to me, why did you acknowledge Bai Ying as your daughter? Why didn't you disown her from the beginning? And you!"
She pointed at Zhou Ying and said, "You keep saying you wish you could kill Bai Ying, but when I really needed your help, you didn't come at all!"
Zhou Ying's face turned extremely pale.
Bai Di said, as if deliberately provoking Zhou Ying:
"Look, my brother's body... is indeed very suitable for me."
She looked down at her long, strong fingers.
"This body's aptitude is even better than I imagined. His spiritual root is practically identical to Bai Ying's. He's truly disappointing. If I had his spiritual root, I don't know how many times stronger I would be. At least reaching the Nascent Soul stage wouldn't be a problem."
Zhou Ying lay on the ground, her fingers digging deep into the soil, crying her heart out. Suddenly, she remembered something and struggled to lift her head: "Di'er...no, please...can Yanfeng's soul...can it still be found?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Di revealed an extremely sweet smile:
"Don't worry, Mother, I've already chewed up and swallowed my brother's soul!" She drew circles on her chest with her fingertips. "Now, every inch of his cultivation and every memory of his is perfectly integrated with mine."
"brute!"
The white eagle's eyes were bloodshot, and its spiritual power surged violently. With a single palm strike, it caused the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to tremble. The raging palm wind cleaved the surrounding trees in half and plowed deep furrows into the ground.
Bai Di smiled eerily. She flashed in front of Bai Ying like a ghost, her slender fingers gripping her father's wrist like iron clamps. With a crisp "crack," Bai Ying's hand bones shattered.
"Father," Bai Di leaned closer affectionately, but his breath was icy cold, "Do you know how the Grand Elder died?"
White Eagle's pupils constricted sharply. The unsolved case from before suddenly resurfaced in his mind—when the Grand Elder was discovered, he was like a dried corpse.
"That old madman," Bai Di licked her lips with ecstasy, "though he's out of his mind, his life's work is still top-notch." She suddenly leaned close to Bai Ying's ear, "and I have to thank Father for locking him in his quarters, allowing me to enjoy him at my leisure."
"puff--"
White Eagle coughed up a mouthful of blood, mixed with fragments of internal organs. He trembled violently, tears streaming from his eyes, screaming, "You...bastard...how could you do such a beastly thing!"
No wonder Bai Di's cultivation level increased so quickly before. He thought that after Bai Di obtained Bai Ying's spiritual root, he was exceptionally talented and directly cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage.
I never imagined that she had drained the Grand Elder dry!
"You're wrong." Bai Di gently wiped the blood from her father's mouth. "It's a perfect masterpiece that you personally nurtured." She suddenly exerted her strength and slammed Bai Ying heavily to the ground. "You taught me to think of myself in everything, and I was listening to you."
"Mother, don't worry." Bai Di gently stroked Zhou Ying's tear-streaked cheek with Bai Yanfeng's slender fingers, her voice so gentle it sent chills down one's spine. "Guess why I'm telling you these secrets?"
