Chapter 173 Qing Li: My Favorite Person
Bai Xiaoxiao held her cheek, squatted on the bluestone railing across the sea of clouds, and sighed to the sky.
Is her master too fond of seclusion?
While she was eating, Qingli was in seclusion.
When she was sleeping, Qingli was in seclusion.
When she was traveling with her friends, Qingli was in seclusion.
When she was teaching her junior brothers and sisters, Qingli was in seclusion.
When she entered the Spirit Transformation Realm and defeated seventy-two Spirit Transformation masters of the same realm in succession, becoming famous again, Qing Li... Oh, was on the way to seclusion.
...So why?
Why don’t you say a few more words to her before leaving?
Is she really that hot?
Bai Xiaoxiao stared at the tightly closed Qinglian Xuanshi Gate, and suddenly found it annoying no matter how she looked at it. With her current strength, it would be no problem for her to blow up the gate, but she didn't know if her master would be angry if he knew about it. She had been in the world of cultivating immortals for hundreds of years, but she had only been alone with Qingli a few times, let alone playing together, practicing together, eating together, sleeping together... cough!
I can’t think about it anymore, it’s a bit rebellious.
Bai Xiaoxiao scratched her face with her index finger, then turned to face the wind. The gentle breeze, with a hint of coolness, quickly took away the heat on her cheeks, leaving her feeling comfortable. She exhaled, turned her head and planned to continue staring at the Qinglian Xuanshi Gate in a daze, but found that an elegant figure had appeared in front of her at some point.
A light blue robe, a simple and elegant hair pendant, an outstanding figure, a cold expression, who else could it be but Qing Li?
“Master!”
Bai Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up and she immediately came to Qingli.
"Um."
When Qing Li saw her, he responded softly, but his eyes softened unconsciously.
Bai Xiaoxiao was very excited, but she still kept a distance to avoid annoying her master. "Then, Master...are you coming out of seclusion this time?"
"Something's going on."
Qing Li answered succinctly, then turned and flew off on his sword. Bai Xiaoxiao was confused but followed closely.
They came to a snowy field.
The cold expanse of white highlights the dead silence.
The howling wind blew through their beautiful hair and wide robes, but fortunately, cultivators' resistance to cold was a thousand times stronger than that of ordinary people, so they did not feel cold. Bai Xiaoxiao was just confused. The White Sea Snowfield was the quietest place in the Six Realms. There were few creatures that could survive here, and they were hard to find. If an avalanche was accidentally triggered, it was not impossible that people would be buried alive here.
Qing Li fell to the top of the snowy peak, and leisurely looked at the flat snowfield not far away. His eyes swept across as if he was confirming something. He stretched out his thumb and middle finger and made a hand gesture, outlining a huge elliptical magic circle, which slammed towards the snowfield.
boom--!
Suddenly a big crack appeared.
The ground beneath her feet began to tremble violently, and cracks spread and collapsed along the snow. Bai Xiaoxiao subconsciously glanced at the towering snow peaks, but they were quiet and didn't look like they were collapsing. She then looked at the cracks, and a sharp, hairy claw suddenly emerged, followed by a hairy head. A giant centipede, fifty meters long, suddenly appeared before their eyes.
"Icy centipede."
Bai Xiaoxiao tilted her head and looked at the giant centipede that cast a shadow over them. Each centipede had densely packed legs. Bai Xiaoxiao glanced at Qingli and saw her indifferent expression, knowing that this was prepared for her.
Forget it, just go for it.
Bai Xiaoxiao summoned the Dragon Bow and soared into the air with a tap of her toes. The giant centipede roared at her and slapped her with its hairy claws. Bai Xiaoxiao dodged the ice centipede's attack with a few leaps, leading it away from Qing Li. She then drew the bowstring and fired countless ice-blue arrows, which rained down swiftly and fiercely, piercing the centipede's countless legs.
She fell back beside Qingli.
Qingli arched his eyebrows and smiled with satisfaction.
Bai Xiaoxiao felt a sense of accomplishment instantly.
"bow."
Qingli stretched out his hand, and Bai Xiaoxiao handed over the Jiao bow without hesitation. Qingli took it and threw it forward. The formation under the centipede shone brightly. There was a hoarse sound and a loud rumbling noise. When it calmed down again, the bow hanging in the air became strong and capable.
It turns out that the master came to temper her weapon!
This realization made Bai Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel happy.
"I watched your competition with seventy-two people. It was very good. But your weapon doesn't suit you." Qing Li put the bow back in her hand. "Now it's okay."
Bai Xiaoxiao took it with both hands: "Thank you, Master!"
Qingli also responded softly.
Bai Xiaoxiao clutched the new Jiao bow, unable to let it go. Blinking, she asked with some anticipation and some restraint, "Are you free later?"
Qing Li was puzzled: "No, what's the matter?"
Bai Xiaoxiao shyly invited, "Today happens to be the Mid-Autumn Festival in the mortal world, and the streets are bustling. Master...would you like to go out and have some fun with me?" Worried that Qingli might be reluctant, she added, "Of course, Master's business is most important. If Master has other plans, I can accompany you."
Qing Li looked at the little girl who was secretly looking forward to it and nodded gently: "Okay."
"Yeah~" Bai Xiaoxiao cheered.
The Mid-Autumn Festival on earth can be described as quite lively.
Rows of colorful lanterns hang on both sides of the eaves, and the sounds of hawking can be heard throughout the streets and alleys. Men give flowers, women put on makeup, and children play with candied haws.
Bai Xiaoxiao took Qingli's arm and ran back and forth in front of the small vendors' shops, picking out rouge and choosing hairpins, but none of them complemented Qingli's temperament. Instead, they made her look ugly and abrupt.
Qingli doesn't like wearing jewelry, but she lets Bai Xiaoxiao do whatever she wants.
"Why does it feel a little bit off..."
The more Bai Xiaoxiao searched, the more frustrated she felt. She continued to walk forward with Qingli. When they passed a group of children, one of the little girls was pushed by her friends and became unstable. Bai Xiaoxiao subconsciously helped her up.
"Thank you, sister."
"It doesn't matter."
The brief conversation was fleeting.
Bai Xiaoxiao raised her eyes again and saw Qingli's gaze fell on the hem of her skirt. A small black shoe print was printed on the goose yellow skirt, which was very eye-catching.
"Change it."
Qing Li pulled Bai Xiaoxiao's hand and took her to choose a clothing store.
Bai Xiaoxiao didn't hesitate and simply chose a light blue Shu-woven skirt of the same color as Qingli's. It took her only half a cup of tea to change clothes. She stood in front of the bronze mirror and admired it contentedly for a while. Through the second-floor window, she saw a tassel of snow-white blue lotus flowers being sold downstairs in the building opposite. The crystal clear light blue and white jade emitted different colors through the light.
"This is suitable for Master. It can be used as a sword tassel."
Bai Xiaoxiao could see that Qingli didn't like decorations, so it would be nice to give her a sword tassel that she could wear every day. She jumped down from the window and went to the vendor to buy it, but just after she bought it, she suddenly felt someone covering her mouth and nose from behind. She subconsciously wanted to fight back but felt the breath was familiar, but it was also that familiarity that made her miss the best chance to escape. Before she passed out, Bai Xiaoxiao's only thought was - this person who was not doing his job properly.
Qingli waited for a long time. He changed the tea on the table three times but Bai Xiaoxiao didn't come down. His fingertips tapped the table unconsciously. His brows were expressionless but his breath was getting colder and colder.
Those who were obsessed with her looks have now already stayed away from her, fearing that they might accidentally reveal some flaws.
When someone asked if they wanted a fourth cup of tea, Qing Li finally couldn't help it. She waved her sleeves and disappeared in an instant. Suddenly, she appeared in Bai Xiaoxiao's changing room. It was empty and there was no one. She scanned the whole room sharply, and her eyes slowly fell on the table in front of the window. She bent down to pick up the note on the table. Just one glance and her expression suddenly became gloomy and cold.
…
"I said you really have nothing to do."
Bai Xiaoxiao held her chin and looked at the female demon king who was slowly making tea opposite her. Oh... now, she can be called the Demon Emperor.
Nuying raised an eyebrow, blew gently on the white mist rising from the tea, and said, "I'm helping you too. Don't you want to try this freshly brewed Wuyu tea?"
"What are you helping me with?"
Bai Xiaoxiao shook the light ink-colored teacup.
Silent tea?
It really suits her mood.
Nv Ying looked mysterious: "Don't you always tell me that your master doesn't care about you and doesn't have you in his heart? I'm here to help you try today."
Bai Xiaoxiao's eyelids twitched fiercely: "What did you do?..."
As soon as she finished speaking, a loud explosion suddenly sounded outside.
Nuying suddenly stretched out her hand and threw Bai Xiaoxiao away. Bai Xiaoxiao found herself trapped in a barrier. She could see outside, but people outside seemed unable to see her.
Before she could understand what was happening, another massive explosion blew the entire roof away. Qing Li, holding the Lin Ling Sword, hovered in the air. She looked down at Nu Ying from above, her voice soft but powerful, "Where's Xiao Xiao?"
“Tsk.”
Nu Ying looked at the dead and wounded demon soldiers outside and said: "What a waste."
Qing Li looked at her: "I'm asking you, where is Xiao Xiao?"
Nu Ying looked at her and said provocatively, "Bai Xiaoxiao is your disciple. Why are you asking me when your disciple is missing?"
Qing Li turned around and was right in front of Nu Ying. The Linling Sword in his hand had already been pressed against her neck, drawing a streak of blood. "I'm not in the mood to waste time talking to you. I'll ask you one last time, where's Xiao Xiao?"
"Master..."
Bai Xiaoxiao took in Qing Li's expression. She could see that Qing Li was furious to the extreme. She twirled her fingers and chanted the spell-breaking formula. Her spiritual energy burst forth, instantly breaking through the barrier and arriving at Qing Li's side. "Master, I'm here!"
When Qing Li saw her, he hurriedly pulled her in front of him and looked her up and down.
Bai Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, Master. I'm fine."
Nu Ying tutted softly, "Why did you come out so soon? I haven't had enough fun yet."
Bai Xiaoxiao winked at her.
Qing Li threw down a piece of paper and said coldly, "From now on, don't touch my apprentice."
Nuying looked at the two people leaving, wiped the blood from her neck and sneered, then bent down to pick up the paper that was about to be crumpled, and chuckled.
She didn't write it wrong.
If Qingli hadn't come, and she tried harder, wouldn't the little guy be hers?
…
"Master~"
Return to Miaoqing Peak.
Bai Xiaoxiao held onto Qingli's sleeve tightly. Her master was very angry and hadn't spoken a word along the way. If she couldn't appease him, he might go into seclusion for another thirty to fifty years without seeing anyone.
No, no, absolutely not!
"Master, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong! I swear, I will never see Nuying again. I will keep a very, very long distance from her, and I will never set foot in the demon world again!"
"Master~"
Qing Li looked at the coquettish little girl and sighed helplessly: "I'm not angry." She just felt a little guilty that the little girl was kidnapped right under her nose and almost lost.
Seeing that Qingli was still looking a little down, Bai Xiaoxiao took out the sword tassel from her bosom and handed it to Qingli: "Alright, Master, cheer up. It's no big deal. And you have to believe me, I can protect myself. Even if one day I really encounter something I can't solve, I believe that Master will definitely protect me, because I will always be by your side, and you will also be by my side."
Qing Li looked at the sword tassel in her hand and said, "Okay." She was silent for a moment and suddenly took out a jade pendant from her arms. The small jade pendant was exquisite and elegant, like a hexagonal snowflake, with a small word "Xiao" engraved in the middle.
She placed the jade pendant in Bai Xiaoxiao's palm: "Hold it. As long as you have it, I can appear by your side no matter where you are."
“Thank you, Master!”
Bai Xiaoxiao hugged Qingli tightly.
She turned her face to the side and gently rubbed Qing Li: "I love Master the most."
Qing Li was a little stiff in her embrace, then raised his hands and slowly hugged her back: "Well, I also... I like you the most."
