As the sun sets and the moon rises, the Black Forest at night is filled with eeriness and danger.
Inside the ornate tent, wisps of white smoke curled from the incense burner, releasing a delicate fragrance. Ji Xiaoxiao hugged her legs tightly, burying her face in them, muttering incoherently, "I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die..."
Before the sense of accomplishment from putting herself in others' shoes could even wash over her, Ji Xiaoxiao suddenly realized that this world seemed to be a martial arts world. Leaping across rooftops and walking on water without leaving a trace was commonplace, and even picking flowers and flying leaves could easily injure people. Could she, a part-time assassin with some fighting and assassination skills, really possibly withstand the attack of the Demon Heart Sect and protect the Heavenly Lotus Holy Sect in this martial arts world teeming with masters?
Ji Xiaoxiao possesses the original owner's memories, martial arts techniques are etched in her mind, and the original owner's internal energy was also profound and powerful. However, it's all for naught; Ji Xiaoxiao is a useless person who holds a treasure but doesn't know how to use it. If she had a year or two to buffer and slowly figure things out, she might be able to transform the original owner's martial arts into her own.
The most beautiful dreams are always the most beautiful, but the truth is always the most real.
The original owner, being impulsive, wiped out the bandits in no time before Ji Xiaoxiao transmigrated, rescuing the orphaned Gu Lianxin. Now, the innocent Gu Lianxin openly follows her side, her tearful, delicate, and pitiful charm dazzling everyone, happily gaining favor with the unsuspecting disciples of the Holy Sect.
Soon, they would arrive at Mirror Lake Moon Cloud Manor. Thinking of the exceptionally talented masters from various sects, Ji Xiaoxiao felt even colder, and even her thoughts of dealing with Gu Lianxin were completely forgotten.
"Ah, maybe I should just commit suicide. I've heard that internal injuries are really painful. If I accidentally lose an arm or a leg, it will affect my beauty." Ji Xiaoxiao stroked her smooth chin.
"Lotus, are you resting?" A cold voice interrupted Ji Xiaoxiao's reverie and self-deprecation. "I have something to discuss with you."
Having inherited the original owner's memories, Ji Xiaoxiao learned that the owner of the voice was Bai Hehua, the holy son of the Lotus Sect of the Lotus Holy Cult. A grown man named Hehua? It's a wonder he didn't care. If it were anyone else, they would have cried and begged for forgiveness, saying, "You unfilial child, I'll take revenge in the next life."
"Come in!" Ji Xiaoxin suppressed her inner turmoil for the time being, and her words were as cold as a white lotus flower.
As soon as she finished speaking, a crystal-clear, jade-like hand reached into the tent and slowly brushed aside the curtain. The sunlight outside, thinking it would be foolish not to take advantage of such a bargain, shone so brightly that Ji Xiaoxiao squinted as she examined the white lotus flower.
The person before me was dressed in white, embroidered with faint pink lotus flowers. His waist-length hair was jet black, the contrast of black and white highlighting the ethereal elegance of the white lotus. His eyes were clear and bright, his eyebrows like crescent moons, his demeanor cool and aloof, exuding an air of otherworldly beauty. Even from this glimpse, one could see just how breathtakingly handsome he was.
Ji Xiaoxiao scrutinized Bai Hehua; beneath her calm exterior lay a restless heart. Based on the inappropriate online novels and comics from her previous life, Ji Xiaoxiao tailored one tale after another for Bai Hehua, each with its own tragic and bizarre backstory. If adapted into a TV series, it would undoubtedly be the ratings champion of prime-time.
"What brings you here today?" He was secretly delighted, but his expressionless face betrayed his true feelings.
Bai Hehua sat cross-legged on the soft couch, taking the initiative to pour herself a cup of tea. The tea was clear and green, with a pure and sweet aroma. Bai Hehua took a sip, her expression revealing no appreciation, but she exclaimed, "This is truly fine tea."
"You came all this way just to ask me for a cup of good tea?" Ji Xiaoxiao stood up, calmly straightening her clothes. "If you wanted it, you could have just sent someone over. Why bother coming all this way yourself?"
Bai Hehua couldn't finish the small cup of tea in one gulp. "Then I won't be polite," she said.
"No need, we're from the same sect. This is just a small cup of tea, please accept it." Ji Xiaoxiao called over a maid and ordered her to prepare some fresh tea leaves for Bai Hehua.
After the maid left, Ji Xiaoxiao looked down at Bai Hehua. Bai Hehua remained calm and composed, drinking cup after cup of tea. When the teapot was empty, Bai Hehua put down her teacup and said calmly, "I want to keep Gu Lianxin."
The Lotus Holy Sect group has arrived at the edge of the Black Forest, and will be able to roam freely in less than a day. White Lotus and her companions are going to Mirror Lake Water Moon Cloud Manor to participate in the martial arts tournament, accompanied by a commoner who knows no martial arts, and is a weak woman with no strength to even kill a chicken. The martial arts tournament is crowded and dangerous; if something happens, no one will be in trouble.
"I disagree," Ji Xiaoxiao replied. "If something happens to Gu Lianxin, will you take responsibility?"
"I'm responsible for my people, do you have any other objections?" Bai Hehua rarely got angry.
Even heroes have always found it hard to resist the charms of a beautiful woman, and this saintly son, who had no desires or wants, was indeed defeated.
"Since it's none of my business, why bother asking me?" Ji Xiaoxiao pointed to the heart of the white lotus flower. "However, I would like to ask you, is your heart still yours? Do you still remember the first rule of our sect, Holy Son?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Hehua showed a fleeting moment of panic. Ji Xiaoxiao's eyes remained fixed on Bai Hehua, ensuring she didn't miss it.
In just a few days, Gu Lianxin has already won over the icy Bai Hehua. Her charm is like the invincible protagonist's aura!
“I am the Holy Son. I know what I should and shouldn’t do.” Bai Hehua stood up, preparing to leave, when Ji Xiaoxiao called out to her, “Wait, I have something to tell you.”
“Gu Lianxin is a member of the Demon Heart Sect, and she holds a high position within the sect.” After a pause, Ji Xiaoxiao, having no other choice, directly revealed Gu Lianxin’s true identity to Bai Hehua.
"You..." Bai Hehua's face flushed slightly, not from embarrassment but from extreme anger. "Do you have any evidence?"
