The Blazing Valley is connected to the back mountain, and at the foot of the mountain is a house that belongs to Bai Ling. Because Shifu and the other masters are skilled in alchemy, its no problem for them to build a beautiful residence. The decorations and small ornaments inside the house are particularly exquisite, and everything has been prepared with great care.

  After Bai Lian entered the house, she thought that the person who prepared all these decorations and utensils inside must be a gentle and elegant wife or sister. She didnt know where her six senior brothers found such external help. As a result, in less than two days, her sixth senior brother with well-developed chest muscles was asked unintentionally by her, and he smiled very awkwardly, saying: "Ah, I prepared them myself, many of which were made by me personally."

  "...... those flowers, those pretty skirts, and that water bed that can bloom?"

  "Yes, I did it." Sixth Brother chuckled: "Is this a bit strange of me?"

  Bai Ling jumped up and patted Liu Shi Xiongs shoulder, "Whats strange about it? I think Liu Shi Xiong is great like this! Youre the one whos awesome, Liu Shi Xiong!"

  She lived in a cave dwelling by the Luo River for several years, which was like a doghouse.

  Apart from this house, there is also a large lake built by Master Chiyan for her. The lake water is clear and transparent. Every time it reaches noon, Bai Ling likes to transform into her original form and soak in the lake water. With the sun shining on her, the temperature is just right, not cold or hot, making it perfect for taking a nap.

  The brothers were curious about the prototype of the White Dragon, and they sneaked in to take a look at the little white dragon. They were caught by their master, who dragged them back with a black face and made them work on iron for three days and three nights. After that, they never dared to come and see again. So every time it came to this time, there was only one long white strip in the center of the lake, coiled into a circle.

  That day, Bai Ling returned from the smelting furnace and transformed back into her original form to take a nap in the lake. In a daze, she heard a few weak "ah"s coming from the flower bushes by the lake, the cries sounding strange.

  In the center of the lake, a small white dragon opened its eyes and swam to the shore. It placed its head on the flowers at the waters edge and looked up at a pitiful crow. The crow had scattered feathers and emitted a strong smell of burnt flesh from its wings, which were severely injured, and it seemed unable to fly. It was shivering with fear under the flower bushes.

  Bai Ling looked into the crows red eyes, felt a bit, and found that this seemed to be a small monster in front of her, belonging to the kind that was extremely useless, with weak spiritual power and unable to transform, even worse than those few monsters she had seen in Luo Shui who could only transform their heads or hands.

  The white dragon opened its mouth and let out a blast of dragon breath, sending the black crow tumbling backward in two circles. However, the crow that didnt fear death didnt run away and remained on the spot, letting out weak "ah"s towards her, pitifully weak.

  Transformed back into human form, Bai Ling bent down and picked up the little black crow demon, placing it in her hand as she went to find Sixth Brother. ...Sixth Brother of Lie Yan Valley, one of the older masters with the most delicate thoughts, after Little Sisters arrival, was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by their master, Chi Yan Shifu: "Your younger sister has just transformed and hasnt been around for long, youre more meticulous, so take good care of her, treat her like your own daughter!"

  "......Yes, Master."

  Sixth Brother is very competent in this mother role, and within a month, whenever Bai Xiang encounters something and wants to call out for mom, the first person she thinks of going to find is Sixth Brother.

  "Sixth Brother, look! Ive picked up a bird! Its injured like this, want me to heal it?"

  Sixth Brother looked at the raven in her hand, "Its just a small demon, our Return to One Sect has an array outside, big demons cant get in, and small demons dont dare to enter. This one might be too weak, the array doesnt bother with it... Look at this wing, the scorch marks are from forcibly breaking through the grand array. Its strange, ordinary demons can sense the danger of the array and wouldnt come over here, how did this little demon get in?"

  Bai Ling pinched the crows beak and guessed, "Maybe it was being chased by another monster and fled in a panic without choosing a path?"

  Sixth Brother: "No matter how it came, this little demon is formed from filthy things, so its better not to play with such things." He said, taking the crow from Bai Xiangs hand, preparing to throw it elsewhere, like an old mother who doesnt allow her children to touch a dirty stray cat.

  Its strange that the little black bird, which had been motionless in Bai Lings hand, allowing her to pinch its beak and pull its wings without any reaction, suddenly let out a shrill cry and flapped its wings wildly as soon as Liu Shixiong took it from her, almost pecking at his hands.

  Bai Lings eyes were quick and her hands were fast, she grabbed the crow in one swift motion. "Dont throw it away, let me play with it first," she said as she turned around and ran off.

  As she held the crow and returned to her own hut, she was thinking of finding something for this little monster as a nest. The old shell hanging from her waist said: "Little master, this thing is very dirty, its better to throw it away early, dont touch it."

  Bai Ling found a bowl, rolled up a bunch of grass, and stuffed the crow inside. "How dirty, I think this black shiny feather is also quite good-looking, with red eyes."

  Old Shell: "Its not about appearance, the ones that form these little monsters are all polluted dirty things, theyre not good stuff, youd better be careful."

  "Alright, alright, I know, be careful." Bai Ling said casually.

  Old Shell was desperate to find that her little master hadnt listened to her at all, she took out a small bottle and poured a drop of milky white liquid onto the broken wing of the black crow. Old Shells shell mouth clicked with a "da-da" sound, if he had legs, he could jump up now: "Ah! Young Master, what a waste!"

  Bai Ling: "Its just a drop of spiritual dew, I still have a big jar in my spiritual gourd."

  Old Turtle sighed with a heavy heart: "But using it on something like this is just too wasteful!"

  Shrugging her shoulders, Bai Ling put away the bottle, "Ive used them all."

  Bai Ling put the bowl outside, planning to let the crow get better and fly away on its own. Then she forgot about it altogether. She had completely forgotten, but the black crow didnt fly away again. It often hid in the corners of the house, sometimes perched on a branch watching a white dragon playing in the lake. The grass that Bai Ling had casually bundled up and placed in the corner of the bowl had turned into dry hay, and every night the crow would burrow into the dry hay.

  Its consciousness was sometimes murky and sometimes clear. At times, it would remember its name was Lu Linsheng, but at other times, it would be controlled by the devouring desire within its body, thinking only of finding some flesh and blood to consume - it could only swallow small animals, as any larger monsters could swallow it whole.

  But every time it is dominated by instinct and leaves here, when it wakes up and remembers its name, it will be influenced by obsession and return to the vicinity of the house where Bai Lin is.

  Bai Ling didnt know that there was a new guest here, her dwelling had a thicker spiritual energy, attracting many small animals. Occasionally when she was idle and had nothing to do, she would grab a handful of spiritual rice and feed the various birds nearby like feeding pigeons. She also pulled out spiritual grass to feed rabbits.

  When Bai Ling is eating, the black crow never dares to get close, it hides in the dark corner and watches, waiting for Bai Ling to leave before flying over to peck at the spiritual rice that Bai Ling threw away.

  Several months passed in peace and quiet, Bai Ling became familiar with the Gui Yi Xian Sect, occasionally some disciples would come to find her, such as Sun Xiaoqin, the only female disciple among the seven she first met.

  "Ive been wanting to come see you for a long time, but now that youre the direct disciple of the Scarlet Flame Valley Master, Im just an ordinary disciple, and I should even call you Master Uncle, so its not very convenient for me to come over." Sun Xiaoxian was somewhat vain, and enthusiastically gave Bai Xiang many interesting little trinkets, with a tone that was both sincere and flattering.

  The two of them chatted for a while, and then Bai Ling was called away by her senior fellow disciple to fetch something. Sun Xiaoqin was left alone in the room. She hadnt intended to do anything, she was just curious about Bai Lings quarters, and couldnt help but take a look around. When she saw the various large and small boxes on Bai Lings dresser, she felt a sudden movement in her heart. She glanced at the door, thinking that Bai Ling wouldnt be back so soon, and then picked up one of the boxes to take a look.

  Many people in the sect are curious about Bai Lin, and as one of the first to come into contact with her, Sun Xiaoqin has been having a great time lately. Even disciples who didnt like to bother with her before would come to ask her about Bai Lin. Sun Xiaoqin tasted the sweetness and made up some stories about Bai Lin to attract attention, while feeling guilty in her heart. Now looking at these things in the room, she had another idea. This time when she goes back, shell have a lot to say to others, and if Bai Lin can give her something else, that would be even better.

  She opened the boxes one by one, and found a box of pearls among them. The lustrous white pearls were piled together, mixed with a few purple pearls, which was very eye-catching. She liked these beautiful things the most, and couldnt help but hold the box back and forth to admire them, liking them more and more as she looked.

  Why dont I just take a few? There are still so many here, taking a few shouldnt be noticeable. Besides, shes also given Bai Lin many things, taking a few pearls from her shouldnt be a problem, right?

  Xun Xiaoqin struggled to think, her hands involuntarily reaching for the pearls. At this moment, she discovered two red glows in the corner of the dresser and cabinet. She stared intently, then suddenly retreated backward, letting out a shrill cry.

  Bai Ling walked into the house and just heard Sun Xiaoqins scream, and saw a string of pearls scattered all over the floor.

  "Whats going on?"

  Xun Xiaoqin forced a smile, pointing to the motionless thing in the corner, "I, I was just scared by that mouse and accidentally knocked over your pearl case. How can there be mice here? Its so disgusting, it startled me!"

  Bai Ling raised an eyebrow, looked at the pearls scattered all over the floor, and then looked at Sun Xiaoqin, who was pale and showing a guilty conscience. She didnt say anything, but walked forward and picked up the small black mouse from the corner. The mouse had a pair of red eyes, looking like a fake one, and was caught by Bai Lings tail without struggling.

  Put the mouse on the table, it didnt run away and curled up quietly waiting there.

  Sun Xiaoqin looked like she was really afraid of mice, the disgust in her eyes couldnt be hidden. "Whats this? It looks like its still just a little monster, I dont know how it ran here. Why not let me handle it and throw it away? I heard that mice love to steal things, leaving it here, who knows what it will bite and ruin."

  Bai Ling suddenly pulled out a handful of spirit rice and scattered it in front of the mouse, saying slowly: "Its not like only mice know how to steal things."

  Sun Xiaoqins face turned red and white, and she hastily bid farewell and left. She probably didnt dare to come again. Bai Ling was a bit distracted, thinking of her past life, where one of her three roommates in the dormitory was also like that. At that time, she always quarreled with her, but now she couldnt even remember what she looked like.

  She bowed her head and saw the black mouse lying quietly on the table, not even eating the spirit rice. Bai Yun pushed it gently, "Why arent you eating? Eat."

  The black mouse moved a bit, and then started to nibble on the spiritual rice around it. After it finished eating, Bai Ling pinched its neck and put it outside the house. She was never afraid of these things, thinking that this mouse was no different from the hamsters her previous roommate had raised. But Lao Bei shouted again, "Little master, dont play with these things, theyre dirty!"

  Seeing Bai Ling ignore him, he started muttering and complaining: "Whats going on with this place? Its supposed to be a sacred sect, but why are there always these mysterious little monsters running around? I said it before, going to You Fu Mountain is the right way..."

  Bai Ling didnt listen, tidied up the pearls in her house and ran back to the valley to learn ironwork from her master - thats what she said, but actually they were now refining a meteorite that had fallen 100,000 years ago. Not only did it temper their physical strength, but also their spiritual control and energy output. Bai Ling was exhausted just trying to refine a small piece, so for now she could only follow her master and senior brother to learn, though recently her hammering skills had improved significantly.

  After Bai Ling left, the black mouse that had eaten its belly full suddenly turned into a black crow and followed Bai Ling to Lie Yan Valley. However, it couldnt get close, so it waited on a branch outside.

  ……

  The floating mountain in the high sky, the highest temple gate suddenly opened, and the mysterious supreme god came out.

  He didnt know why he had been feeling restless and uneasy these days, as if he had missed some opportunity, and even meditation couldnt calm his mind.

  "Upper God, Lord Bokusei requests an audience." The immortal servant came forward to report.

  "Let her come over."

  The fortune-telling star knelt on the ground, her skirt spread out like a flower. She held up a piece of astrological chart and said, "Your Excellency, I calculated your fate yesterday and found that you have a fatal calamity. This calamity is located at the Luo River, where there is a white dragon anomaly."

  Xuan Cang Upper God: "White Dragon?" He recalled that he had taken away the heart scale of the White Dragon tribe leader to make medicine, and the White Dragon tribe leader had asked him for one thing in return. He said that in the future, his daughter, the last white dragon in this world, would come to You Fu Mountain, hoping that he could take the dragon girl as a disciple and protect her for a while.

  If its said that there is still a white dragon in this world, it should be her.

  "A mere white dragon, could it be my nemesis?" Xuan Cangs stern and icy voice echoed in the grand hall, Bu Xing Female Immortal didnt dare to respond, only lowering her head even further.

  Xuan Cang Shang Shen suddenly stood up, waved his sleeve and disappeared on the spot.
