Silly Stubbornness

Bai Qianluo drank wine and ate peanuts, even letting out a burp without any regard for her image.

Bai Qianluo grabbed Jiang Lin's sleeve and wiped the wine droplets from the corner of his cherry-red lips before continuing her story. Jiang Lin also took out a bag of Spicy Stick.

In any case, within one's own Divine Sense, whatever one desires can be obtained...

"Xiao Yi's talent for cultivation is astonishing. She cultivates very quickly, so quickly that I feel I'm not even worthy to be her master. Not to mention that for a white fox who proves her Dao through love, she doesn't even have a man she likes."

She does have a type of man she dislikes: all male animals in the All Under Heaven.

But I know this won't work...

She'll inevitably encounter a bottleneck in her practice sooner or later.

Sure enough, when she reached the Jade Purity Realm Late Stage, she finally encountered the first bottleneck in her fox life.

And that's not even the worst part; her hatred for all men in the world will become her greatest Inner Demon during her Ascension.

At that point, it won't be as simple as just Falling Realm; she might lose her entire fox form.

So I thought, could I perhaps change her perception of men a little?

Then I deliberately said I wanted to play a game with Xiao Yi.

At first, Xiao Yi probably didn't know what I wanted to do.

However, just now, when Xiao Yi left, even if she didn't use her Mind Reading, Xiao Yi must have known my purpose and that I wanted to change her perception of men in the world.

The reason Xiao Yi didn't refuse was probably because she didn't want to disappoint me.

Perhaps in Xiao Yi's heart, everything I did was in vain...

"Then why did you choose me? Is it because I'm handsome?"

Bai Qianluo rolled her eyes at Jiang Lin: "Little Jiang Lin is so narcissistic..."

That's called self-confidence.

"..."

Bai Qianluo snatched a bag of Spicy Stick from Jiang Lin's hand and lay down on the ground. Jiang Lin turned his head to look at her.

Don't say...

Bai Qianluo does have a great figure and is very beautiful. After all, there are no ugly women among the white foxes, and her looks are among the best in the demon race.

Unfortunately... her sloppy and carefree personality makes it difficult for anyone to develop romantic feelings for her...

"I guess you could say it was fate."

With Spicy Stick dangling from her mouth, Bai Qianluo recalled.

"Back then, I went to Vast and Righteous World to look for good men, preferably young boys, and I temporarily set my sights on you. I observed you for a few months and found you to be a very interesting person."

It seems you don't know what pessimism is; you can live a pretty good life on your own.

I don't know what I'm thinking, but I just feel like maybe you could, perhaps, let Xiao Yi experience a different side of males.

I didn't expect you to actually influence Xiao Yi or change her preconceived notions about men, but if you can serve as a starting point, that would be great.

Actually, I've wondered if Xiao Yi might fall for you, but after thinking it over, I always feel it's impossible.

However, in the end, that "what if" for the cultivator indeed became "one".

Just in case, I had a backup plan, which was that I lied to Xiao Yi and said I had erased your memory.

But that's not the case.

I merely sealed away your memories and left behind a wisp of my Divine Sense.

This seal is a divine power I created myself.

If Xiao Yi hadn't fallen in love with you, that memory and my Divine Sense would have been completely erased thirty years later.

"And if Xiao Yi really does fall in love with you by accident, then you have the right to know the truth. After I break the seal, you only need to reach the Golden Core Realm to unlock the seal on your memories."

Sitting up, Bai Qianluo looked at Jiang Lin nervously:

"I admit that I lied to you for Xiao Yi's sake, and all the responsibility lies with me, but please don't hate Xiao Yi!"

Although Xiao Yi dislikes men, she never treated your interactions as a game. She was truly herself and showed you her most genuine emotions, without any pretense.

Several times when you petted her fur, she even wanted to kill you, which is true... Of course, in the end, she held back and instead scratched you...

As for what happened in Donglin City, I've heard about it. Well... that silly girl just goes to extremes.

Afterwards, she was filled with remorse and even considered sacrificing herself to condense your soul and allow you to be reborn.

In short... in short...

"Okay, I understand."

Seeing Bai Qianluo's bewildered expression, Jiang Lin couldn't help but smile.

"Actually, I should thank Senior Bai for your..."

Looking at that dilapidated little thatched hut, I saw my childhood self, having already bound the Little White Fox in its shell, sharpening a knife in preparation for its first meal...

"Was it Miss Bai who led my master and Sister Qin Chang here?"

"..." Sitting up, Bai Qianluo her arms between her long legs, lowered her head, and nodded. "How did you find out?"

"I only found out about it afterward. At the time, I asked my master why he was heading towards that dilapidated little village. His mission was to go to the Luoxi Kingdom in the west to carry out a mission, and according to the route, he would never have passed through my little village."

My master said that she seemed to sense Demonic Qi at the time, even a kind of pulling sensation, so she came out of curiosity and happened to encounter me when I was in dire straits.

Looking at Bai Qianluo, who was standing to the side with her head down, Jiang Lin laughed and said, "Didn't Miss Bai say she didn't want to get involved with me in any karma? This karma is quite significant, and if I had frozen to death back then, wouldn't Jiu Yi's Love Tribulation have been automatically resolved?"

"Hmph... I just accidentally used too much force when erasing your memories, and too much of your Demonic Qi dissipated."

Bai Qianluo turned her head away Tsundere. Usually carefree and teasing, she was now a Xiao Xiao shy after her thoughts were exposed.

However, Bai Qianluo would never admit that she did it on purpose because she felt guilty and couldn't bear to watch him die.

Otherwise, if everyone says that the Great Way is heartless, wouldn't I be too soft-hearted?

However, while the Great Dao is ruthless, for the fox clan, it is precisely the source of emotion.

"Alright, alright, I've said everything I needed to say. Xiao Jiang Lin, you can continue unlocking your memories. This wisp of my Divine Sense is about to dissipate. When my main body asks about our conversation in your Divine Sense, just say I was aloof, domineering, and emotionless."

As she spoke, Bai Qianluo nodded to herself.

"Okay, that's settled then."

Jiang Lin's brow twitched. "Do you think you'd believe that yourself?"

"Of course I would, why wouldn't I?" Bai Qianluo reverted to her usual carefree self.

"You have one last question. What do you want to ask?"

"Emmm..." Jiang Lin stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then carefully examined Bai Qianluo.

"You brat! What do you think you're doing? Even if it's not my physical body, it's still not allowed to be my Divine Sense!"

"... I just wanted to ask, Senior Bai has been searching for his sweetheart, but what if he can't find her?"

"What should I do...? Then I'll just keep searching and searching, until my life is over."

Bai Qianluo raised her head, her hands resting on either side of her skirt. She looked up at the clouds floating in the sky, her smiling face like a silhouette of spring, with a touch of silly stubbornness.

Why hasn't QD's chapter description been restored yet...? It's so frustrating...
