You Su was still unsure of the effect of the Hidden Earth Power, but he guessed that it was probably related to the illusion. Moreover, he was certain that it was not a simple illusion, otherwise it would not have been able to change a cultivator at the lower level of the Transformation Realm.

Although the fact that his senior sister was completely unguarded towards him was partly to be a factor, the fact that You Su, with his cultivation at the Spirit Platform Middle Stage, could influence the vastly different Wangshu Fairy was enough to demonstrate his extraordinary abilities.

The changes in Wangshu Fairy were not limited to her erratic behavior just now.

"Senior sister... your hands are warm now?"

You Su felt the warmth emanating from the back of her neck through the light gauze; although it was very faint, You Su noticed it.

Because Wangshu Fairy had embraced You Su like this several times before, You Su was already used to her senior sister's icy-cold body temperature. So when the change suddenly occurred, it was hard for You Su not to notice.

Wangshu Fairy was stunned for a moment. She herself had noticed the changes in her body, feeling both at a loss and joyful.

He Shutong cultivated the Ice Heart Technique, but her body was warm. Or rather, as long as one is human, no matter what kind of Cultivation Method one cultivates, one's blood should be warm. Her disciple, however, was the exact opposite. Wangshu Fairy had basic emotions, but she was like a cold-blooded animal, her whole body icy cold.

This was the first time she had experienced a fever, which was exactly what she had been hoping for—to become like a normal person.

"Thank you, junior brother."

Wangshu Fairy suddenly thanked him, leaving You Su completely bewildered.

Why is Senior Sister thanking me?

"I had a wish to experience the feeling of body temperature, and my junior brother fulfilled that wish for me, so of course I have to thank him."

Wangshu Fairy transformed back into the innocent and serene white-clad Fairy. She placed her jade hand on her heart, and the gauze robe, soaked with Dragon Saliva, revealed a glimpse of her fair skin, stirring the imagination.

"Senior sister... have you always been like this?"

You Su's vision was no longer so clouded; looking at his senior sister's smooth swan neck, he could still see a pure white silhouette.

Wangshu Fairy gave a soft "hmm," but did not appear sad.

"Are you cold?" You Su asked with concern.

The girl shook her head again. She wasn't lying; she had been like this since birth and naturally didn't feel cold. On the contrary, the loneliness after realizing she was different was harder to bear.

Why is that?

You Su had always been very restrained in not prying into other people's secrets, out of respect for his senior sister. This time, his question wasn't because he couldn't control his curiosity, but because he urgently wanted to solve the girl's problem.

"It's a secret." Wangshu Fairy's eyes curved into a beautiful arc. "It's my junior brother's warmth that's transferring to me. It's so warm and comfortable. I also want to become a warm person like my junior brother, Master."

You Su was slightly taken aback at first, then lowered her gaze sadly. This girl seemed to possess an extraordinary quality that made people want to care for and be considerate of her.

He certainly didn't believe in the idea of body temperature transfer; otherwise, his senior sister's hands should have been warm when she held him as they flew.

You Su guessed that the reason for his senior sister's physical changes was probably due to the intimate contact they had just had. After all, the Joyous Union Technique (Joyful Union Technique) had explained that the heart fire was the root of internal heat. But since there was no second test, this could only be a guess. You Su dared not say anything to his senior sister. If she showed her strong side again, he would be nothing more than a fish on a chopping block.

After resting, You Su had regained some strength. He helped himself up from Wangshu Fairy's embrace and encouraged her with a firm expression:

"Senior sister is already a warm person."

Wangshu Fairy shook her head. She placed her hand on the spot where You Su her head. The lingering warmth left by You Su was quickly dissipated by the wind, and her own pitiful body temperature was also cooled by the wind.

"That's still not enough..."

You Su felt pity. He had originally wanted to give his senior sister a good talking-to about the importance of maintaining proper boundaries between men and women, but he couldn't bring himself to say those cold, harsh words to this poor, forty-nine-year-old girl.

"Does Senior Sister really want to keep it?" You Su dared not open her eyes easily, and could only sense the presence of the Little Flower in her Sea of Consciousness.

It seemed to have already accepted Wangshu Fairy as its master, affectionately circling around to the hem of Wangshu Fairy's skirt and rubbing against her delicate ankles.

Upon Wangshu Fairy looked at You Su with delight. She had thought that after her antics, her junior brother would be angry with her and would not allow her to take in Little Flower. However, she did not expect that You Su was not as resolute as she had thought.

"Uh-huh!"

Wangshu Fairy nodded happily, and with her exquisite Rabbit Mask, she truly looked like a lifelike white rabbit.

You Su pursed his lips, looked at the supernatural creature that was as white as his senior sister, and said sternly:

"Stay close to my senior sister and don't have any bad intentions. My senior sister is the most powerful Fairy among the younger generation in the Five Continents. If you follow her, you might really have a chance to transform into a dragon. Whether you can seize it or not depends on yourself."

Dragons are mythical creatures with no trace, and no one has seen them since thousands of years ago. If this Little Flower really has the potential to transform into a dragon, it would be a great help.

When Wangshu Fairy heard You Su's evaluation of her, the joy in her eyes was so intense that it seemed to overflow. She felt that she had heard many other people say such praise without any feeling, but even You Su's casual words made her heart flutter.

"Junior brother, it says you shouldn't be so fierce; it's a good dragon."

Wangshu Fairy picked it up, and the Little Flower was just the right size for her palm. At this moment, the Little Flower swam around on Wangshu Fairy's body, as if looking for the most suitable place for it to land.

Wangshu Fairy made no attempt to hide it, even holding it atop her head. Little Flower seemed to love this vantage point, lying prostrate on Wangshu Fairy's hair, resembling a jade-white hairpin with a pure white flower at its end, adding a touch of vibrancy to Wangshu Fairy's beauty.

Having been fooled by the Little White Fish and the Hidden Water creatures at Jade Ring Pool, You Su found it hard to believe what those creatures said, so she said seriously:

"Senior sister, I'll accompany you to see the Eleventh Elder tomorrow and ask him to personally forge the contract between you."

The Eleventh Elder is none other than the Grand Elder of the Xuanxiao Sect, who is an expert in the art of beast taming. It is said that he possesses a Divine Beast whose strength is comparable to that of a cultivator in the Void Glimpse Realm. The beast taming contract he personally forged will surely guarantee that Little Flower will not do anything to harm her senior sister.

"Don't want."

Wangshu Fairy resolutely shook her head in refusal, even tilting her head slightly as if afraid that You Su would snatch the Little Flower away.

"Little Flower won't do anything bad, I can sense that, there's no need for a contract."

Unbeknownst to You Su, if Fairy Wangshu Fairy had to choose the one she disliked most among the thirteen elders of the Xuanxiao Sect, she would undoubtedly choose the Eleventh Elder. This was because she seemed to have an innate affinity for all living things, while the spirit beasts on Beast Taming Peak, though living well, were all bound by contracts or other restrictions that stifled their natural instincts. She was helpless against this and often secretly released spirit beasts to cause trouble, much to the Eleventh Elder's annoyance, who had already blacklisted her from Beast Taming Peak.

You Su thought about it and agreed. Her senior sister's pure heart could distinguish between good and evil, so there must be a reason why she was so close to Little Flower.

Moreover, this spirit beast was too strange, and he didn't want to attract unnecessary attention from the Eleventh Elder. If it involved Little White Fish, his identity would become suspicious.

"Alright, then let's do as Senior Sister says." You Su really couldn't bear to refuse this girl.

"Thank you, junior brother."

Wangshu Fairy thanked him again. Usually very dignified, she seemed to have her true nature unleashed in front of You Su. She hugged Little Flower in her arms and gently twirled around, like a blooming White Plum Blossom.

As she spun around, completely soaked, drops of sticky fluid would always splatter out. You Su wiped the slippery substance off her face and felt as if her mood had been infected by her senior sister's, making her happy.

Just as You Su continued to enjoy the tranquility of Lotus Peak, Ji Xueruo, weary from her journey, finally arrived at Yongning City, far away on the border of the Central Continent.

This place boasts the largest port in all of the Central Continent, where the world's largest ark can dock.

The majestic Divine Ark, resembling a floating castle on the sea, approached the shore, seemingly announcing the arrival of this man-made behemoth with a deep and tremendous roar.

Ji Xueruo stood in the teahouse at the dock, looking at the giant ship and the invisible Eastern Ying Continent beyond the distant horizon, and for some reason felt a little melancholy.

She had promised Granny Liu that she would replace the clan leader if she did not return within a year, but she never expected that she would actually obtain the Lotus Root Heart in less than a month.

But this month felt far longer to her than a year.

Looking back on the details of that illusion, Ji Xueruo could hardly recall every single quarter of an hour in detail. Only some vivid details, like pearls buried in the sand, were etched into her heart.

"Is it really time to go back..."

For some unknown reason, a blush crept onto her face. She muttered a couple of curses about the person she couldn't forget, then adjusted the veil on her head.

To conceal her identity as a Hui Muslim and keep a low profile, she employed her unparalleled makeup skills, transforming herself into a completely different person. She wore a veil to hide her Demon Qi and a white dress that was out of character for her.

Throughout her journey, she was not questioned about the Demon Race at all; people treated her as an ordinary female cultivator. Ji Xueruo was secretly proud, thinking that even her own younger sister probably wouldn't recognize her here.

The Divine Ark looked close, but it was actually quite a distance away. It only seemed close because of its enormous size. Moreover, such a large ship would not be easy to dock.

To kill time, Ji Xueruo poured herself another pot of tea, then took out a book from her bosom. The cover had several large characters written on it, "The New Legend of the Legend of the White Snake".

Yes, Jade Ring Pool is located in the east of the Central Continent. Ji Xueruo wouldn't need so many days to reach Yongning Port in the far east.

She actually took a longer route, going to Chuyun City first before arriving at Yongning Port.

Her purpose in going to Chuyun City was to deliver her rewritten version of the Legend of the Legend of the White Snake to the owner of that bookstore.

You Su 'You Su books have become popular all over the world, and the owner has already made a fortune from them. His bookstore has become the most magnificent building in Chuyun City.

When Ji Xueruo handed him the book, he, who had been eagerly seeking it, had no doubts whatsoever, assuming it was the new edition that his junior sister You Su had brought.

After reading the contents, the boss simply stroked his long, goat-like beard and looked at Ji Xueruo meaningfully:

"Your senior brother... has become more conservative."

Ji Xueruo suppressed the urge to smash the bookstore and replied gently, "There are many criticisms of the original story's ending. My senior brother went to rectify the previous inconsistencies and create a truly excellent work, so he revised the ending."

"I understand your senior's ambition to showcase his talents, but showcasing them is one thing, but don't cut out all those scenes..."

The shop owner seemed disappointed. Although he also felt that the previous ending, in which Xiao Qing and Xu Xian lived happily ever after, was too abrupt, he was just a businessman. What he cared about was not the quality of the book, but whether it would sell well.

The very essence of this bestselling Legend of the Legend of the White Snake has been removed; what kind of new adaptation is that? Naturally, the boss who wanted to expand his business again with this new version of the Legend of the White Snake wouldn't buy Ji Xueruo's offer.

It wasn't until Ji Xueruo recalculated the debt the bookstore owner owed You Su that the owner reluctantly agreed that future editions of the Legend of the White Snake would be based on this new version.

Ji Xueruo, who had been engrossed in the book for who knows how long, finally came to her senses, took a satisfied sip of tea, and closed the book, as if she could already imagine the appreciative expressions on people's faces when they saw this newly adapted ending.

After overcoming numerous hardships, You Su and Lady White finally became a couple—that's a reasonable and good story...

"Huh? When did the Legend of the White Snake get a new version?"

A pretty young girl in a brocade green dress stood beside Ji Xueruo, curiously examining the books on the table.

Hearing that familiar voice Ji Xueruo looked up, her pupils instantly shrinking to tiny beads. She quickly looked away and smiled:

"You've also read the Legend of the White Snake, young lady?"

She appeared calm on the surface, but inside she was pounding with nervousness. She could only keep encouraging herself, thinking that her silly younger sister shouldn't have recognized her.

"Yes, yes, I'm a big fan of 'Junior Sister is Number One in the World.' May I borrow the book, Miss? I'll treat you to tea."

Ji Lingruo blinked her bright, beautiful eyes twice, her pleading expression so pitiful that it was hard to refuse.

"I'm about to board the Divine Ark, so it might be inconvenient. Miss, it's easy to buy it if you head towards the Central Continent."

Ji Xueruo didn't want to be recognized by her sisters at this time; she just wanted to escape as quickly as possible.

"Is this your first time on the Divine Ark, Miss? The Divine Ark stays at the port for five days after it docks; it doesn't leave the port as quickly. You'll have to wait five days; there's no need to rush to board." Ji Lingruo continued to plead, clearly showing her genuine interest in this newly adapted Legend of the Legend of the White Snake.

"This..." Ji Xueruo hesitated.

"Miss, there's no need to worry. I also have a newly compiled copy here; you may borrow mine."

At a tea table to the side, a handsome young man, holding a book, fawned over her, his eyes gleaming.

"Get lost! Any grown man who watches the Legend of the Legend of the White Snake is definitely not a good person!"

Who would have thought that Ji Lingruo suddenly become wide-eyed and have a chilling aura. The young man, sensing that the girl's cultivation was approaching the Spirit Platform Middle Stage, had no choice but to retreat in embarrassment.

Many of the women around nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

Seeing this, Ji Xueruo could only sigh and push the book forward.

"Since we're fellow book lovers, let's be friends. Please make yourselves at home, Miss."

"That's wonderful! Thank you! You're so kind, let me treat you to tea!" Ji Lingruo instantly transformed back into that cheerful young girl, cheerfully greeting the waiter, "Waiter, bring me your best green tea! The greenest kind!"

Why the insistence on being particularly green?

Ji Xueruo puzzled, feeling that her younger sister's taste was a bit strange; the weather had clearly turned cool, yet she was still drinking refreshing green tea.

Before she could finish her sentence, Ji Lingruo had already sat down and glanced at the plain-looking woman in the white dress with an almost imperceptible arrogant look.

Sister, it seems only I understand the slang my senior brother uses.

You're far from being able to steal a man...
