After being together for a long time, Bai Ling's master and senior brothers all knew that she couldn't fly.
In the past two years, Bai Ling still had some inhibitions and couldn't let loose, but after mixing with a few senior brothers, she completely freed herself. She often transformed into her true form in the valley and frolicked about, and even Master and the senior brothers got used to seeing a white dragon roaming around Lian Hua Valley. The dragon has four claws on its feet, but its body is long and slender, although it looks quite majestic, walking with this appearance is actually very comical.
Sometimes Bai Ling turns into her original form and falls asleep next to the furnace. When the senior brothers need to use the furnace but can't wake her up, two or three of them have to work together to carry her away, with each person carrying a section of her dragon body. The scene is extremely comical.
It was once seen by a person from Youfu Mountain, and the expression of the other party was so strange that several senior brothers couldn't forget it for many years.
These years, You Fu Shan has never given up on recruiting and showing kindness to Bai Lin. If in the past, Bai Lin was unwilling to go to You Fu Shan mainly because of her severe acrophobia and dislike for Xuan Cang Shang Shen, then now she is unwilling, largely because of the masters and senior brothers in the valley. After several years together, she has come to regard them as her own family, just like Old Bei Ke. Of course, living with loved ones who care for her is happier.
Xuan Cang Shang Shen somehow found out about her acrophobia and sent someone to inform her that if she was willing to go to You Fu Mountain, he would be willing to relocate the entire mountain to the ground for her. As soon as this statement came out, it caused a stir among both the upper and lower levels of You Fu Mountain, not to mention within Gui Yi Xian Zong itself. Bai Ling had already been envied and criticized by many people for continuously rejecting Xuan Cang Shang Shen, and now with this incident, there were even more whispers and rumors circulating in secret.
They said she didn't know her place and wasn't worthy of Xuan Qing's favor; they said she was ignorant and might provoke Xuan Qing's anger, which would bring disaster to the sect; they said she was pretending to be coy and hesitant just to show off Xuan Qing's doting... In short, almost everyone wished they could pin her down and make her agree.
"What else can I say? Whether I want to go or not, what's it to them? Everyone thinks I should be thrilled and quickly agree, but I don't care! They never thought about whether I wanted to go or not, they just want to go themselves, what's it to me?"
"What about that guy who got his head caught in the door? Does he think he's so great, trying to give me face?"
The entire dragon was furious, if it were in dragon form, its whiskers would have been straightened. She really thought that Xuan Qing's brain had a problem, she was living well here, didn't provoke him, yet he came to find trouble with her three times, and now forced her to accept this 'gift'. Bai Ling's small temper couldn't be restrained, if it weren't for her senior brother holding her back, she would have taken a hammer and smashed the You Fu mountain - if she dared to fly up. "Junior sister, calm down, this stone is already worn out from your blows." The fifth senior brother looked at the whetstone with heartache, this stone had been used for many years, they had used it to sharpen swords for over a decade and hadn't even scratched the surface, yet junior sister's anger was so uncontrolled that she directly pierced through the stone.
"Anyway, it's all broken through, let your junior sister break it and divide it into several pieces, one piece per person!"
Bai Ling moved her arm, imagining the whetstone in front of her as Xuan Qing's upper body, and with a fierce blow, the whetstone shattered into pieces. Several senior brothers searched for their ideal stones, while Chi Yan Master patted his panting little apprentice, "Bai Ling, do you want to go out for a walk?"
"Out? Out where?"
Chi Yan's rough big hand covered her head, "You're always coming to Mount Youfu, aren't you tired? Recently, many people in the sect have been gossiping, hearing it makes you angry. Why not take this opportunity to go out and see the world? You've also been here for several years, let your senior brother accompany you. Coincidentally, you just broke the whetstone, this time when you go out, find a bigger one to bring back."
Bai Ling thought for a moment and agreed, "Alright! I'll go find an even bigger and harder whetstone to sharpen the sword!"
The Xuan Cang Supreme God, who is currently pretending to be arrogant in heaven, does not know that the female protagonist's favorability towards him has become negative infinity due to his wave after wave of operations. He even forced her out to clear her mind. He himself truly thinks that he has put on a very low posture and feels that he has already accommodated so much, and believes that the female protagonist cannot help but be moved.
In order to save the world's luck, even the proud and aloof Xuan Tian Shang Shen, who is as unyielding as a thousand-year-old iceberg, can lower his pride.
"Supreme Deity, Dragon Girl..."
"Really?"
"...refused..."
“……”
A small island collapsed on top of Youfushan because of the wrath of Xuangong.
Bai Ling and Fifth Brother left the sect together, after discussing for a while, they headed east.
"I heard that there's a mountain called Yan Shan, with many strange rocks on it. We can go there to search." Bai Ling suggested seriously after some consideration. Wu Shi Xiong nodded with his big copper bell-like eyes, looking like he was completely listening to her.
The fifth senior brother is the most honest and hardworking among his peers. He was chosen by Master to go out with Little Junior Sister because he's good at remembering routes, so White Silk will never get lost following him. White Silk admires Fifth Senior Brother's incredible sense of direction and loves asking him where they are and which way to go, listening to him explain it in detail makes her envious to the point of jumping for joy.
Also, Fifth Senior Brother looks the most intimidating, so when Master doesn't want other disciples to disturb them, he'll send Fifth Senior Brother to stand at the entrance of Lian Hua Valley. The effect is obvious, with him by White Silk's side, everyone feels at ease. Although Master worries that someone will bully Little Disciple, the senior brothers worry that Little Junior Sister might accidentally kill someone with her hammer when she gets angry.
The two brothers and sisters walked eastward, but before they reached their destination, they encountered a few immortals who were relocating the local villagers.
The so-called immortals here, except for those who have cultivated an immortal body and been summoned by the Immortal Court to enjoy the register of immortals, are also called immortals because they rely on a higher god and are granted an immortal body.
When she saw those men and women in white clothes, Bai Ling initially looked at them with curiosity, but when she found that they all wore the jade cards of You Fu Mountain, she immediately lost interest and only wanted to avoid them. Thanks to the blessing of Bai Xuan Cang Shangshen, she was now indifferent to the entire You Fu Mountain.
She pushed the Fifth Senior Brother to leave, but the two of them were particularly eye-catching in the crowd with a look of horror on their faces. Especially Bai Ling, who was wearing a white dress transformed from white silk, had an ethereal and moving temperament that caught the attention of those immortals at a glance.
It's a coincidence that these few disciples of the Youfu Mountain, who didn't have the qualifications to go to the Guiyi Sect as guests, couldn't recognize Bai Ling. The leader among them was a man named Dongyuan - one of the male leads in the original story who had an unrequited love for the female lead and later became darkened because he couldn't get what he wanted, adding many obstacles to the relationship between the female and male leads, and almost killed the female lead due to his obsession.
Dongyuan saw Bai Ling and the other, thinking they were just ordinary cultivators, so he stepped forward with a composed tone: "Two fellow immortals, I am Dongyuan, a disciple of Youfeng Mountain. We are here to assist mortals in need, and we could use some help. Would you two be willing to lend a hand?"
"What can I help you with?"
Dongyuan saw that she was lovely and charming, with bright eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a little fond of her. His tone became extremely gentle: "It's like this, recently the East Sea has been in chaos, a huge deep chasm appeared, and there is surging evil energy emanating from it. Some demons have also emerged. These are all residents living near the East Sea, and we plan to temporarily relocate them to cities inland. Because too many people are gathered together, it's inevitable that some demons will sniff out human scent and come to cause trouble. We need manpower to help escort... I'm afraid this is an imposition, but in such extraordinary times, everyone should unite as fellow cultivators to resist the demons. What do you two think?"
Bai Ling furrowed her brow, gazing at the groups of people, whose faces were filled with fear and worry, as well as a wooden expression. She whispered to Wu Shi Xiong for a moment before nodding in agreement, "Alright, where do we need to escort them to?"
Dongyuan nodded in satisfaction upon seeing her agree: "My companions are going to relocate the refugees elsewhere, so I'll stay here with you all to escort them."
……
In the depths of the East Sea, the Dragon God Sword was suppressing a crack in its body that had opened up countless fissures. As the divine sword collapsed, the massive abyss on the edge of the East Sea grew deeper and wider. This abyss was the largest entrance to the mortal realm connected to the Demon Abyss, and at this moment, dark shadows of demons kept appearing at the entrance. These demons emerged from the darkness and were overjoyed when they saw the bright and prosperous mortal realm, scattering in all directions around them.
In the depths of the demon cave, there were still some big demons watching the exit without moving. They had to wait for this entrance to become a bit larger before they could act.
"Is he gone already?"
"Yes, he didn't know where that big obsession came from. From the first day he arrived, he was thinking about leaving. Now that he's finally opened up a bit, of course he ran out early."
"Hey, that guy's gone out, with his insatiable greed for everything, it must be chaotic outside, I don't even want to go out, staying here without him threatening is pretty good."
"Are you afraid of that monster? You're still a thousand-year-old great demon!"
"Aren't you afraid? You didn't avoid him last time, and the two big demons under your hands were eaten by him, right?"
"...I, I just think he's dirty, you really think I'm afraid of him?!"
The faint sound of whispering voices in the darkness stopped and started intermittently, then fell silent again after a while.
The big and small demons that come out of the demon cave are mostly strange in shape, possibly because they are used to living in the dark, their appearance is particularly casual, and any one of them can be praised for being fierce and ferocious. Generally speaking, those with sharp scales or exceptionally tall and large bodies will be more powerful, but there are also exceptions.
For example, that monster, about the size of a human being, with black wings on its back, had no sharp claws or teeth. Its body was wrapped in threads of black silk, without a head, naturally there were no eyes or mouth, just a hunched figure with long legs for walking and long hanging "hands" without fingers.
His breath was very strange and didn't have the usual evil aura of a demon, but instead seemed particularly harmless. However, when he appeared among the demons that came out of the Demon Spring, those ferocious and terrifying demons seemed to see a plague and scattered in all directions, not daring to get close to him.
He didn't care about the reactions of the demons around him, and he just walked away from the group, heading in a certain direction. Slowly leaving behind the large crowd of demonic tide, he arrived at the vicinity of an empty city, where he was ambushed by two small demons.
These two little monsters did not come from the Demon Spring, but were demons from the human world who were attracted by the evil energy. Seeing the 'harmless' demons of the Demon Spring, they prepared to take advantage of the situation. However, as soon as they approached, the humanoid figure covered in black threads suddenly dispersed, and the threads wrapped around the two little monsters in an instant. In a flash, the two little monsters were completely devoured, without leaving behind even a hint of residue.
He walked into the empty city and found a fresh human corpse at the gate. The corpse was thin and bony, wearing tattered clothes, looking like a beggar. A thread of black silk wrapped around the corpse, swallowing it, and after a moment, the hunched figure of the demon disappeared, replaced by the beggar who had just been swallowed.
He looked at his hands and suddenly smiled, taking a step in a certain direction. "Where...where is it?"
He walked all the way to another city, where he saw several immortal swordsmen flying in the sky, ordering the people of the city to move elsewhere. A beggar, without arousing any suspicion, blended into the crowd.
……
"I don't know where the Xian You sect is?" On the East Yuan Road, he tried to talk to Bai Ling several times. Bai Ling still remembered that he was from You Fu Mountain and didn't want him to know her identity, so she didn't like to talk to him much. Being asked annoyingly, she directly pushed Wu Shixiong over to deal with him and ran to the side herself.
Because they had to escort so many people, they would stop from time to time to rest. As it was approaching noon, everyone found a place to rest and eat. Bai Xue sat alone on one side, ordinary people didn't dare approach this 'fairy', she took out a peach from her spiritual bag and started eating it. After just two bites, she realized someone was slowly walking towards her.
He is a beggar.
He walked up to her, not saying a word, and suddenly knelt down in front of her with his hand outstretched. His face was stiff, making the smile on his face seem somewhat sinister and abnormal.
Bai Ling was silent for a moment, then took out a peach from her spiritual bag and placed it in his hand. Looking at this big brother who had become so thin and gaunt, with eyes shining brightly due to hunger, she couldn't just stand by and watch him die.
"Eat this, it's not an ordinary peach, eating one is almost enough."
The beggar held the peach, looked at it for a while, then raised his head to look at her, revealing a stiff smile, and said: "I... lost... the pearl you gave me... but I will find it back..."
His voice was unclear, and Bai Ling didn't quite catch what he said, only hearing something about losing and finding again. She thought this big brother was really pitiful, probably a fool.
"My name is Lu Linsheng..."
Bai Ling understood and nodded casually: "Lu Linsheng? Oh, I'm Bai Ling."
She didn't know that a ugly duckling she had helped out casually back then was called Lu Linsheng, nor did she know how many people and things had changed before this name was told to her.
