Su Jiuli returned to her room, took out the "Mountains and Rivers in Rain" painting, tapped it lightly, and said with a smile, "National Treasure, come out and have a chat."
The now-conscious Guobao shook his head: "It's already difficult for me to suppress my cultivation. If I go out now, I'm afraid I'll have to undergo tribulation immediately. Fellow Daoist, please speak frankly."
Su Jiuli waved her hand, and the entire room seemed to become its own world, instantly isolating itself from everything outside.
"Alright, come out now. The heavenly tribulation won't dare to strike you."
Upon seeing this, the national treasure slowly floated out of the landscape painting, its adorable face showing a rare seriousness.
Su Jiu left the door and got straight to the point: "Give me the fragments on your body, and you can go through your tribulation in peace. Besides, haven't you always wanted to go home and visit? Now that your bloodline has returned to its ancestral form, as long as there is enough time, the Pixiu lineage will eventually produce another Ascension Realm Great Demon."
Guobao tilted his head: "Are you really sure? You'll die if you completely fuse with those fragments. Actually, you don't need to. This is something I should have done in the first place. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been willing to stay by Sisi's side."
Su Jiuli shook her head and smiled smugly: "It's different. This is how I am in my junior sister's heart, and even you, who are at the Tribulation Transcending stage, can't do that."
As Su Jiuli spoke, she even gave herself a thumbs-up.
Guobao remained silent, thinking that this person was a madman, doing something that could clearly cost him his life and yet he was so happy.
After a long pause, it couldn't help but ask, "What are you trying to achieve by doing this?"
Su Jiuli stopped smiling and remained silent, just looking out the window, hoping that when that day came, his junior sister wouldn't blame him for being heartless.
Seeing this, the national treasure stopped talking and instead stretched out its sharp claws to cut open its round belly, turning its snow-white skin a bright red in an instant.
An irregular fragment radiating a holy golden light was forcibly torn out of its body, and its cute and silly beast face was twisted into a mess, looking particularly comical.
Su Jiuli reached out and took the fragment, then without hesitation slammed it into her heart.
In just a moment, the unremarkable face after the disguise turned deathly pale, and the body trembled from the intense pain.
On the contrary, the national treasure, despite appearing to be covered in blood, was in excellent condition, as if an invisible mountain that had been pressing down on it had been removed.
It reached out its paw to touch its wound, and then, mimicking a cultivator, cupped its hands and said, "Fellow Daoist, you are very righteous. In that case, I will take my leave first. There must still be some minor troubles on the demon race's side, so I need to go back and keep an eye on things. After all, Cangtou has signed a contract with Sisi, and it's not very bright and has a low cultivation level, so I'll leave it with Sisi. However, I have to take the Mountain and River Rain Painting with me. Sisi doesn't need it right now, but I will return it to her later. By the way, don't let Sisi come looking for me. I hope that the national treasure will always remain a national treasure in her heart."
Su Jiuli nodded, but her face grew paler and paler, and sweat poured down her face as if it were free. Nevertheless, she still reached out and broke open a corner of the small world around her.
Guobao gave Su Jiuli a complicated look, then disappeared in a flash with the dazed little chubby boy, needing to find a good place to undergo its tribulation.
As for the hidden head and Ye Sisi's other belongings, they were all left behind. Su Jiuli waved his hand and put everything except the hidden head into his spatial ring.
Zang Tou looked at Su Jiuli's distorted face with a blank expression and tentatively said, "If you need a coffin, just say so, don't be shy."
Su Jiuli was so angry she laughed. She stuck out a finger and poked the hider on the head, and the hider's eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Su Jiuli felt that even though this hidden message looked like a phoenix now, it was incredibly annoying to open its mouth, so she should just shut up.
Ye Sisi and Su Jiuli's journey lasted a year. They not only set up stalls on the street, but also worked as waiters in restaurants, studied at formal schools, went out to sea to fish, farmed in the fields, and became left and right protectors in a Jianghu gang. Naturally, they also did their fair share of fighting demons and defending the righteous.
Wherever they went, the evil cultivators left nothing behind. Ye Sisi felt it was a real pity that she wasn't a great hero.
Although her cultivation level hadn't improved at all this year, her state of mind had calmed down. It was time for her to improve her cultivation; she was still far from the Tribulation Transcending stage, so she had to work harder.
Guobao left without saying goodbye, and she was still very worried. Guobao was so cute and adorable; what if it got bullied when it got back? But it wouldn't let her go to see it, which made her a little sad.
However, she will still go and see if she has the chance; what Ye Sisi wants to do is not up to others to decide.
Moreover, she had promised the Tibetan head that she would take it back to its clan's territory if the opportunity arose, and she couldn't let things drag on like this.
Su Jiuli produced another red Life Flower from somewhere, and Ye Sisi naturally took it and placed it into the World of Immortality.
Although the Soul-Giving Flower is rare, Su Jiuli would give Bai Luochen one every month for the past year, and Ye Sisi would accept it obediently without asking any questions.
"You don't need to rush to break through to the Void Refinement stage. Focus on stability. You can go back to Immortal Sound City or to the Demon Subduing Land, but I have other things to do, so I won't accompany you."
Ye Sisi said "Oh". Since her senior brother said that, he definitely didn't intend to tell her where he was going. However, it was obvious to anyone that he was going to do something that she couldn't interfere with right now.
"Are there still any Living Soul Flowers left?"
Su Jiuli smiled and shook her head: "The Soul-Bearing Flower isn't like cabbage. If you have the chance to meet it, just don't miss it. There's no need to force anything."
Ye Sisi nodded, then asked, "Can you tell me where the third secret place is?"
Su Jiuli shook her head: "You are still too weak. You should wait until you have reached the Fusion stage before you can go. I won't tell you now, but you can go to Cloud Sea Cave and Heavenly Sword Abyss to train. It would be best if you went with your second junior sister and the others so you can look after each other. Especially Heavenly Sword Abyss, where sword energy is everywhere. Almost every sword cultivator leaves a wisp of sword intent on Heavenly Sword Peak before ascending. Although your sword intent is domineering, it is not refined enough. Going there will be beneficial in every way."
Ye Sisi carefully wrote it down, then said, "Senior Brother, you're not going to be gone for several years again this time, are you?"
Su Jiuli smiled and patted Ye Sisi's head: "If you want to know where I'm going, you can just ask me."
Ye Sisi pouted: "You won't tell me even if I ask."
"I will go to the land of demon slaying, but not to guard the seal or kill demons. I need to work with some people to set up a defense line outside the Tianyuan Domain. It won't be a short time, but you can still contact me if you need anything. I won't lose contact like before."
Ye Sisi smiled and nodded, saying, "It's good that you're not missing. Then I wish you a safe journey, Senior Brother."
The two parted ways, and Ye Sisi couldn't quite describe her feelings. She felt that Su Jiuli was drifting further and further away from her, and hoped it was just her imagination.
"Hey, where's your hometown again? It's time to go home in glory."
