Baby Xueruo, Who Often Hides Her Embarrassment with Profanity
"My face! My face!"
Hua Ranhua was suddenly ambushed and nearly went mad when she saw her disfigured self in the mirror.
Ji Xueruo was barely breathing, a proud smile played on her lips.
The fact that this woman carried such a precious mirror with her shows how much she cared about her beautiful appearance.
Although her injection of Snake Venom was not fatal, it was enough to make this vicious woman hate her for the rest of her life.
Even if it can't help her turn the tide, that will be enough.
But Hua Ranhua suddenly stopped. She tied her disheveled hair back up, regaining her composure and elegance amidst her disfigurement, as if her previous dazed state was all an act.
She glanced down at the bewildered girl in the black dress. "Did I act convincingly?"
Ji Xueruo's expression turned stern; this woman was more terrifying than she had imagined.
"Even though the drowning dog has lost completely, it still spits on people before it dies, thinking that this will enrage the enemy and allow it to enjoy a sense of psychological victory by making the enemy furious. Unfortunately, the drowning dog doesn't understand anything... And how could people take the drowning dog's pre-death erratic behavior to heart? It's just an act for you, you don't really believe it, do you?"
As Hua Ranhua spoke slowly and deliberately, she even took out a comb and began to comb her beautiful long hair.
"You ruined my appearance, of course I'm angry, but so what? Once I obtain the inheritance, reaching the Void Glimpse Venerable will be a piece of cake for me. Even if my appearance can't be restored now, the transformation after breaking through to the Void Realm will bring back my beauty. Why should I hold a grudge against you for a moment?"
She leaned down and placed her hand on Ji Xueruo's neck:
"Very good, I love seeing that resentful look on your face... Why aren't you as indifferent as before? Are you just naturally averse to smiling?"
Hua Ranhua's face was half rotten and sore, with bones visible, while the other half was beautiful, confident, and composed. Her smile was both ethereal and demonic, terrifying beyond compare.
Ji Xueruo she was being choked by her neck. She was weak and powerless, and could only gradually succumb to her powerlessness.
Hua Ranhua, on the other hand, relished the process of utterly destroying Ji Xueruo, both physically and mentally.
Her intense malice towards Ji Xueruo was not without reason; in this meticulously planned conspiracy, only this girl treated her coldly, which made her feel like she had a bone stuck in her throat.
She couldn't figure out why Ji Xueruo was distancing herself from her, since she was so popular and no one disliked her advances. But now the reason didn't matter anymore, because she was about to remove this thorn in her side and fully enjoy the joy of victory.
Ji Xueruo rolled her eyes back, but still used her last bit of strength to hold onto Hua Ranhua's hand tightly. Even at the most desperate moment, this stubborn girl still wanted to express her indomitable spirit in her own way.
Because as long as we can delay this woman from seizing the fortuitous opportunity for a little longer, we can create more variables.
The successor of Sun Yang Venerable, the final destination of the Heavenly Awakening Spiritual Light, should absolutely not be this kind of scum!
Hua Ranhua felt that the other party was overestimating himself, and with a ruthless heart, she increased the force of her right hand, which she originally intended to slowly torture Ji Xueruo until she suffocated.
Just then, the ground shook violently, and she quickly looked towards the end of the cave.
"How is this possible?!"
Her expression was more solemn than ever before. When she entered the cave, she had used two array plates and drawn an array spell, creating a total of three layers of restrictions to temporarily seal the cave. People inside couldn't get out, and people outside couldn't get in, thus completely isolating herself from unknown variables.
Judging from the continuous and violent impacts, this is not something a cultivator at the Condensing Water Realm could make!
"What a bunch of useless trash! They can't even hold off Fire Armadillo!"
Hua Ranhua ruthlessly unleashed a Flower Thorn Technique, stabbing towards Ji Xueruo's still-unyielding hand. Ji Xueruo's fair hand was instantly pierced, and crimson blood seeped out.
Taking advantage of the moment when the girl loosened her grip, Hua Ranhua struck Ji Xueruo's arms with another Technique Method, and Ji Xueruo finally could no longer hold on to Hua Ranhua's hands.
With another earth-shaking tremor, Hua Ranhua was extremely anxious and had no time to pay attention to the clingy Ji Xueruo. She rushed straight towards the exquisite door that should never have appeared in a wild beast's cave.
Ji Xueruo was on the verge of death, struggling to crawl on the ground, but she was no match for Hua Ranhua, whose lotus-like steps were graceful and swift.
Without any hindrance, Hua Ranhua finally placed her hand on the stone doorknob. Her half-human, half-ghost face was filled with excitement, and her eyes gleamed with a terrifying light.
This will be the most important moment of her life!
When she arrived on the island, probably no one would have imagined that the one who would ultimately seize the fortuitous opportunity would be this elegant and gentle Fairy, but that's alright, this is exactly what she hoped to see!
From this day forward, Sun Yang Venerable will ascend to the heavens, and the entire Five Continents will be under her and her master's control!
Without hesitation, Hua Ranhua opened the heavy stone door.
But the next moment, her bright eyes suddenly became confused.
There's nothing on the other side of the door...
Hua Ranhua couldn't believe it. She reached out to touch it, to punch it, and even tried to ram it with her body, but even so, she couldn't get through the door.
Because behind this exquisitely crafted stone gate, which is clearly man-made, are the same earthen walls and stone walls as the ones next to it.
Ji Xueruo lay nearby, blood trickling from the corner of her lips, yet she laughed out loud.
When people see a door, they assume there's something on the other side.
In the end, this abrupt door, placed here, is just like a collectible embedded in the wall; it really is just a door.
Perhaps the Fire Armadillo wasn't guarding this door that just happened to appear here, or perhaps there was no treasure in the Fire Armadillo's cave at all.
Hua Ranhua attacked the stone wall almost frantically, as if trying to carve a way out of the door, but how could she possibly shake the earth?
For the sake of this fortuitous opportunity in the Fire Armadillo Cave, she used almost every means at her disposal in this battle, even going so far as to humble herself and perform despicable acts for those two hypocritical beasts Qu Zhaixing and the Little Saint Son...
Just when I was about to finish, fate played such a cruel joke on me!
"How pitiful..."
Ji Xueruo smiled happily and no longer held her breath.
The mocking laugh was soft, but it was loud enough to be heard in the cave.
Hua Ranhua, her face ashen, silently turned away. A raging fire of anger brewed within the woman's voluptuous figure. She glanced at the immobilized girl in the black dress, her eyes like those of a vengeful demon ready to devour her prey.
"It's all your fault... it's all your fault... I'm going to kill you!!"
Unable to vent her grievances and resentment, Hua Ranhua blamed everything on a completely unrelated person. It was as if killing this person would erase the defeat.
Two branches laden with flowers suddenly emerged from her sleeves, lifting her up. With her hands twirling and her lips moving, she was about to use the most violent Technique Method to blast Ji Xueruo into nothingness!
Ji Xueruo still retained a sliver of Qingming Festival. She looked at the energy gathering in Hua Ranhua's hand without fear. In fact, she was grateful for her perseverance, which allowed her to witness this exhilarating moment before she died.
In this way, I can rest in peace...
No! You can't!
Ji Xueruo came to her senses, utterly astonished.
Who... is talking to me?
Was it me?
Yes, with so many things left undone, how can I possibly rest in peace...?
Mother, sister, clansmen, and the blind man with whom she had agreed to discuss liking or disliking after she had finished everything...
Ji Xueruo found her self-deception utterly laughable. She would never willingly die, yet Hua Ranhua was already pushing a dazzling ray of light towards her, its power unstoppable. How could she possibly withstand it now?
Just a little bit more strength... just a little! Even just a little bit will do!!
The instant Ji Xueruo had this thought, a pure electric current surged through her numb limbs and bones. Immediately afterwards, a strange resonance awakened the Demon Core within her body, which had long since stopped spinning, and a surge of power rushed straight to the top of her head like a tidal wave.
She had never felt anything like this before, as if hundreds of hearts were beating all over her body at once. The pain gradually blurred, but Hua Ranhua's figure became clearer and clearer!
"Die!!" Hua Ranhua screamed shrilly.
The dazzling light, like a giant, blooming flower, crashed down on Ji Xueruo, raising a cloud of dust.
Hua Ranhua revealed a triumphant smile, as if she had taken revenge on all the tricks of fate.
But as the smoke cleared, her smile froze.
Ji Xueruo's long hair was as black as ink, naturally draped over her shoulders. Her noble and imposing snake-like face had a sharp edge like a knife. Her eyes were clear and bright, and her black dress swayed gently with the afterglow of the waves.
Hua Ranhua subconsciously took a step back, as if what was even more unbelievable to her than the joke that there was a wall behind the door... was the girl in front of her!
The Mystic Qi surrounding Ji Xueruo roared and entered her body. Her hands danced and twirled, and a faint light seemed to form on her bloodied and fleshy palms.
She didn't have the habit of slowly tormenting her opponents; the ten white snakes instantly coiled around Hua Ranhua's calves and gradually tightened, startling Hua Ranhua into screaming.
Hua Ranhua's first reaction was to try to escape, but she couldn't move her legs. The ten powerful white snakes were far more ruthless than live snakes, and their icy touch went straight to her heart.
She looked up, her eyes filled with deep confusion and fear.
The woman who attempted to destroy Ji Xueruo's mind completely lost her will to fight after being struck repeatedly.
She thought this isolated island would be her greatest stage, but now all she wanted was to escape this hell that had plunged her into despair.
As long as I tear up the invitation, I can still escape!
No one's fingers are more nimble than a sorcerer skilled in Technique Method, especially since she had secretly practiced countless times the action of pulling the invitation from her sleeve, all so that she could tear that teleportation talisman apart as quickly as possible!
She was afraid of dying, so she absolutely could not die!
It took her less than a blink of an eye to slip her index and ring fingers into her sleeve and retrieve the invitation, but to her astonishment, she found that she hadn't managed to grab anything.
There's absolutely no way she missed!
"Where's my invitation...?"
Hua Ranhua stared blankly at the fragile piece of paper held between Ji Xueruo's fingers.
"You stole it! You stole it when you grabbed my hand just now!"
Hua Ranhua tried hysterically to grab it, but could only flap her wings against the air.
"I picked it up, I didn't steal it," Ji Xueruo a smile.
To successfully inherit the legacy, one must tear up the teleportation talisman and leave the island.
Both she and Hua Ranhua were geniuses in the Technique Method. She herself hid the teleportation talisman in a special lining of her sleeve because she was very confident in the dexterity of her hands.
So, the purpose of grabbing Hua Ranhua's hand just now was ostensibly to stop Hua Ranhua from leaving, but in reality, it was to try and find Hua Ranhua's invitation.
Although she was indeed lucky enough to succeed, she wasn't too happy, because Hua Ranhua could easily find another invitation from the group of corpses; this was just the best way for her to stall.
Unexpectedly, her luck turned around; what she took away was not Hua Ranhua's dispensable invitation, but Hua Ranhua's only way to survive.
"It's okay, give it back to me... give it back to me! I'm begging you! Give it back to me!"
Hua Ranhua was on the verge of collapse, tears and blood streaming down her sharply contrasting face. She had already used the Hua Yin Technique, which had consumed a great deal of energy, and then launched a series of poison attacks. At this moment, she was no match for the girl whose aura had suddenly surged.
Her only option now is to beg for mercy and pray for her life.
But Ji Xueruo could not let her go. Having carried the deep-seated hatred of her mother's blood since childhood, she had long developed a character of always seeking revenge, and she would take revenge herself!
The ten white snakes instantly tightened their grip; her snake control skills had reached a new level. The snake fangs pierced into Hua Ranhua's flesh, sucking away at the last struggle of this desperate person.
Ji Xueruo raised her right hand, which had been pierced, and looked through the hole at Hua Ranhua's extremely distorted face.
Then a surge of powerful Thunder Method condensed in her empty palm. The next instant, the dimly lit cave was suddenly illuminated by a bolt of lightning. As darkness returned, a headless, delicate body crashed to the ground.
Ji Xueruo took one last deep look at the mess on the ground. She had no time to mourn the deaths of these strangers, but rushed out of the cave.
For some reason, all she wanted to do now was to see You Su as soon as possible. This feeling was so strong, as if she wanted to make up for all the wild thoughts she had had during those two hundred-plus nights of separation.
Perhaps it was because on this treacherous fairy island, You Su was the only person she could truly trust.
Having fortuitous opportunity nothing in the cave after her previous search, and with the only door being merely decorative, she had no reason to remain inside.
Just as she dashed out of the Fire Armadillo's lair, preparing to climb up from the bottom of the pit, she was surprised to find You Su there.
The boy lay on the ground, the Ink Pine Sword limply stuck beside him, a large bloodstain on his forehead, as if he had suffered a violent impact.
As a fellow sorcerer, Ji Xueruo quickly guessed from the scattered array artifacts that the earth-shaking commotion earlier was caused by You Su.
Did he sense that I was in danger...?
That's why he's fighting so desperately to break through the formation...
Ji Xueruo a lump in her throat and quickly rushed to You Su's side to hug him.
You Su's face was pale, like a puddle of mud. He no longer had the strength to activate his Ink Eyes, but upon smelling that familiar fragrance, he finally managed a smile:
"Now... I can die in peace..."
The boy murmured softly, then tilted his head, and finally closed his eyes, which he had refused to close all along.
Upon Ji Xueruo immediately understood that the miraculous event that had just occurred was actually You Su's doing.
Unable to hold back her tears any longer, she emotionally embraced You Su tightly, then took out handfuls of miraculous pills and forced them into You Su's mouth:
"Don't die! Don't die! I won't let you die! You haven't been with me to the very end, I won't let you die! Wake up!"
The girl wept bitterly, her joy at turning the tide in her desperate situation only bringing greater sorrow. She was filled with remorse and regretted why she hadn't been able to die in peace.
"Ugh... no... don't stuff it in... I'll choke to death even if I don't suffocate..."
Her firm, voluptuous breasts were buried in You Su's face, and her mouth was stuffed with all sorts of pills. You Su felt both ecstatic and uncomfortable.
You're not dead!
Ji Xueruo overjoyed, and her immense joy and sorrow turned into an even more overwhelming torrent of tears. From childhood to adulthood, she had been as strong as iron and had never shed a single tear. But now, facing You Su's death, it was as if she wanted to pour out all the tears she had accumulated over the past eighteen years.
"You dare scare me! Go to hell!"
Ji Xueruo slapped You Su, almost causing him internal injuries. He hurriedly spat out the pills in his mouth like grapes while trying to stop the girl, looking rather comical.
"Stop filming... I'll really die if you keep filming, Xue Ruo baby, be good, don't cry, don't cry..."
"Get out of here!"
Upon Ji Xueruo revealed a rare hint of shyness befitting a girl her age, and could only resort to vulgar language inappropriate for her status to cover up her embarrassment.
You Su smiled even more sweetly, and with her last bit of strength said:
"This place is no place to stay any longer, take me back first... I can't hold on any longer, I need to take a nap... Remember to wake me up..."
After saying this, the boy truly fell asleep from exhaustion.
Ji Xueruo was no young girl either, and she quickly regained her composure. She reached out to feel the boy's breathing; although it was weak, it was at least even, which meant that You Su was not injured, but was just exhausted.
A resolute determination shone in her shimmering eyes. She immediately hoisted the tall You Su onto her back and began to use her magic to climb out of the deep pit.
Once she crawled out of the cave, she discovered that the ground was a scene of devastation, filled with the sounds of fighting and screams.
The Fire Armadillo are still rampaging, and humans and demons are constantly fighting, with some even engaging in violent brawls.
The scene felt strangely unfamiliar to her. She had no time to pay attention to these people who had gone mad. Instead, she held You Su tighter and ran away with him.
In the same cave, You Su fell into a coma.
Ji Xueruo wiped her lips with her sleeve. She looked at the boy's chiseled face and was deeply moved.
She suddenly realized that You Su's two consecutive fainting spells seemed to be because of her.
He didn't have to go through such a dangerous ordeal at all; she even began to wonder if it would have been better for You Su to act alone rather than with her.
She prided herself on having an iron heart, but even iron can melt if the temperature is high enough.
And clearly, this blind man who barged into her life was hotter than the molten lava in the volcanoes of the Eastern Ying Continent.
She had personally fed You Su some pills, but You Su still hadn't woken up.
She felt anxious and guilty, and then she suddenly remembered their similar situation at the Jade Ring Pool.
Since this power originated from You Su, then let's just return it to him...
However, the Mystic Qi of different people cannot be integrated, but fortunately Ji Xueruo knows a way to transform her own Mystic Qi into Mystic Qi of another person.
Moreover, it was a method she had practiced hundreds or even thousands of times in that illusion...
In this back-and-forth, endless cycle, we are intertwined, bound by the principles of heaven and earth, and the shared origin of life, thus creating an everlasting cycle of life.
This is the ultimate truth of dual cultivation, yet it is also seen as Evil Dao by many rigid cultivators.
"This is truly... an evil sect!"
