The Little Game

As she watched her hand pierce Jiang Lin's chest, the woman's silvery-white eyes trembled slightly. Her cherry lips, hidden beneath her veil, parted slightly, then slowly closed again, and two tears silently slid down her cheeks...

However, as Jiang Lin gradually lost consciousness and everything went black before his eyes, he could no longer see the woman's expression clearly. He only vaguely felt as if something was dripping onto his forehead.

But... it's that familiar feeling again...

Holy crap, I'm going to die again...

Even though I've died so many times, it still hurts so much.

After I die this time, I'll have to see if the system has any pills or techniques to reduce the pain.

Otherwise, if I die again in the future, it will still be this painful; who could bear that?

etc...

Have I forgotten something?

Yes!

The system told me to say my lines, but I haven't said them yet!

No way! Is this some kind of rip-off? I don't even have the strength to say it!

Oh my god! Am I really going to ruin this achievement?!

Am I going to die for nothing?

And this girl even poked two holes in his body?

Although one of them went up on his own initiative...

[mmp...]

These were Jiang Lin's last words, but Jiang Lin no longer had the strength to say what the system required him to say to this girl.

Two lines of tears streamed down Jiang Lin's face—mainly from anger at himself—before he collapsed backward.

However, in order to minimize the damage, Jiang Lin's palm brushed across Bai Jiu Yi and delicate hand, and before dying, he didn't forget to take the opportunity to grope her...

"No..."

Looking at her hand that had passed through his chest, Bai Jiu Yi's eyes trembled, her mind going completely blank...

Just as Jiang Lin was about to fall backward and hit the ground, Bai Jiu Yi caught him in her arms. The woman kneeling on the ground spread her nine long tails like lotus flowers, and more tears dripped onto Jiang Lin Jiang Lin's forehead.

Bai Jiu Yi held Jiang Lin's hand tightly and placed it on her cheek, continuously channeling her Spiritual Power into Jiang Lin's body. However, Jiang Lin's life was like a leaky kettle, constantly slipping away.

"Don't die..."

Even Bai Jiu Yi herself didn't know why she said such a thing. She was the one who wanted to kill him, so why didn't she want him to die...? Why...?

Bai Jiu Yi couldn't figure it out, and could only let the tears fall uncontrollably...

On the verge of death, Jiang Lin lost all sensation in his body. He could neither see nor feel anything, but a powerful Spiritual Power was flowing into his body, forcibly trying to sustain his life.

However, this is like solving a math problem where water is being released and then poured in simultaneously. Even Nine-tailed Sky Fox at the Immortal Realm has no chance against Jiang Lin, whose life force has been completely cut off.

But!

Although Jiang Lin didn't know why the other party suddenly wanted to save him, the Spiritual Power the other party injected into his body gave Jiang Lin a last hope...

[Oh, it was you... That's great...]

He poured his last thoughts into the Spiritual Power transmitted by Bai Jiu Yi, and the Spiritual Power dissipated from Jiang Lin's body, turning into countless points of light that vanished into the air.

The moment the Spiritual Power touched Bai Jiu Yi, Jiang Lin's words also entered her Heart-Lake...

"Ping..."

Like porcelain shattering.

Just as Jiang Lin's voice disappeared from Bai Jiu Yi's Heart-Lake, Jiang Lin body shattered, transforming into countless streams of Spiritual Power that dissipated from Bai Jiu Yi's embrace.

The woman remained kneeling on the ground, her nine long tails spread out and hanging down, but the man in her arms was no longer there.

He has vanished forever...

"Master, what am I missing?"

Once upon a time, there was a white fox who, at only five hundred years old, had already stepped halfway into the Immortal Realm. However, for those hundred years, she was unable to take another step forward.

One day, the white fox emerged from seclusion and asked his master, who was scratching his toes on the edge of a cliff, a question.

This was the first time in a hundred years since the white fox woman entered the Jade Purity Realm that she had asked her master for guidance.

"What is missing?"

The white fox master, with shoulder-length short hair, scratched his tail:

[Xiao Yi, you've never liked anyone before, have you?]

The white fox, nicknamed Xiao Yi, rolled her eyes at her master.

"Who do you like? Why do you like those people? I can hear everything they're thinking. Every single one of them has designs on me! Master, when you took me to the Ten Thousand Demons Meet, those old beasts didn't even blink when they saw me. Males are disgusting!"

Teacher White Fox sighed softly, switched to a different tail, and continued scratching:

"That's no excuse for you to put on a veil every time you go out. You'll be single forever if you keep doing that."

"So what? Master, the man you liked couldn't stand you anymore and ran off to the Demon Race World!"

"You little brat, why do you always have such an unpleasant way of speaking?"

The white fox teacher used her tail to hook her apprentice over and pinched her cheek hard.

Both male and female White Fox Race are exceptionally beautiful, and their every move exudes a natural charm.

However, he had never seen his apprentice so beautiful before. Moreover, she possessed Born with bone-deep charm and exceptional talent. If nothing unexpected happened, she would surpass him in another hundred years.

The problem is, this little girl actually possesses an Innate Divine Power called "Mind Reading."

This supernatural power can only be possessed by white foxes, and in the past thousand years, it's been quite remarkable that even one white fox has the Mind Reading.

However, the white fox master did not believe that having "Mind Reading" was a good thing for a white fox, and even thought it was better not to have it.

Because the white fox proves its path through "love".

The word "love" is the most difficult to understand, and the process of understanding it is the process of attaining enlightenment. However, for a white fox who can see through other people's thoughts, especially her only disciple who has been the most outstanding in appearance for countless years, this is a different story.

It's hard for anyone not to be affected by her appearance.

When a woman is extremely beautiful, the so-called "liking" a man claims to have is basically just lust after her appearance.

Xiao Yi could see all of this clearly.

"Master! Stop pinching!"

Xiao Yi patted her master's hand and rubbed her own face.

Resting his chin on his hand, Master White Fox smiled and said:

"Emmwww... Xiao Yi, Master has a question for you. What do you think the meaning of the word 'qing' (情)? Master is referring to the 'qing' in 'romantic love' (爱情)."

Xiao Yi turned her head away. "I don't know! Xiao Yi doesn't need to know. If we really have to get past that so-called 'love' hurdle, I'll just kick you aside!"

Is that really the case?

The white fox master looked at his disciple with a half-smile, amusement on his face.

They're all advanced cultivators at the Jade Purity Realm, yet they still act like little girls.

"Xiao Yi, how about I play a game with you? How about it?"

"Game?"

"Uh-huh..."

Master White Fox nodded happily, no longer scratching his tail, and gently stroked his disciple's head as he did when they were children.

"A Xiao Xiao game."
