" Granny Song, what brings you here?"
Dongfang Bai had just emerged from the pass when her subordinates reported that an elderly man surnamed Song was looking for her with her keepsake, and that he had been staying at Black Wood Cliff for over a month.
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Bai didn't dare to delay and immediately rushed to his residence on Black Wood Cliff, where he met Granny Song.
This Granny Song was her father's wet nurse, and she was raised by her. Therefore, Dongfang Bai always respected her and regarded her as his grandmother.
Furthermore, since they were the only two remaining members of the Dongfang Lineage, she cherished this only remaining relative even more.
However, Granny Song was reluctant to leave her homeland and had always stayed at the former residence of the Dongfang Lineage. Fortunately, Granny Song herself was Super-First-Rate cultivator, and even though she was old, she was still very healthy. In addition, she had arranged many servants to take care of her, so she was not too worried.
But this time, for some unknown reason, they ended up at Black Wood Cliff and stayed there for over a month.
" Girl Bai, do you have a boyfriend?"
Granny Song, who was watering the flowers, sensed Dongfang Bai's arrival. After confirming that no one was around, she couldn't wait to ask him.
This question left Dongfang Bai completely dumbfounded.
She only plays the role of Dongfang Bubai in the Sun Moon Holy Cult, so how could she have a boyfriend?
"Mother-in-law, what nonsense are you talking about! With the family feud still unresolved, how can I have the mind to think about dating?"
Dongfang Bai couldn't help but let out a coquettish sigh. In front of this only remaining relative, she no longer put on the airs of Dongfang Bubai and revealed a rare, girlish side of herself.
"You said you didn't, but they've already delivered a gift to our house! And it's a very generous one at that! I've been living on tenterhooks these past few days, afraid that something might go wrong with this wonderful gift!"
After rolling her eyes at Dongfang Bai, Granny Song looked around again to make sure no one was there before entering Dongfang Bai's boudoir and taking out a small box from under the bed.
This is what she hid there when she came to Black Wood Cliff more than a month ago.
There was no way around it; this gift was simply too precious. If it were to circulate among the martial arts world, it would surely cause turmoil and unleash endless bloodshed.
"Gift?"
Looking at Granny Song suspiciously, Dongfang Bai opened the box. Inside were two stacks of books, totaling dozens of volumes, all with blank covers.
He picked up a book at random and started flipping through it. After finishing, his expression suddenly became serious.
This is a First-Rate martial arts manual. Although it does not reach the level of Grandmaster, it still has its merits.
Out of curiosity, Dongfang Bai picked up the second book and began to read it, followed by the third, the fourth...
As time went by, Dongfang Bai's expression grew increasingly solemn, especially after seeing the last two martial arts manuals. Even with her composure, she couldn't help but gasp.
These are actually two martial arts techniques at the Xiantian Grandmaster level, one of which is an extremely rare sonic skill, and its content is profound and extensive.
It's not much worse than the unique skills she inherited from her own master.
If this gets out, anyone with decent talent could at least reach the peak of the Grandmaster realm, or even the Half-Step Great Grandmaster realm.
If given enough opportunity, becoming Xiantian Grandmaster is not impossible!
This gift is far too heavy!
But who sent it?
He brought the manual closer and sniffed it. He could smell a fresh scent of ink, indicating that it had been written not long ago, definitely within the last three months.
Having confirmed this, Dongfang Bai carefully examined the writing on the manual again, trying to find clues, but after a long while, he still had no clue.
She had absolutely no recollection of this handwriting.
"Mother-in-law, I really can't tell who gave me these secret manuals."
Unable to discern anything from it, Dongfang Bai put down the manual, looking troubled.
The gift was indeed very good, but it was almost too good for her, so much so that she didn't dare accept it, fearing that she might be tricked by the other party.
Those who live in the underworld have to be cautious.
"If we can't find the clue in the manual, then what about this letter?"
With a smile, Granny Song took out an envelope she kept close to her body from her bosom. This was the biggest evidence that she was certain the sender of this generous gift was a man.
Although the handwriting above is a bit ugly, it was definitely written by a man.
Need I say more about the mindset of a man who can give a woman such a generous gift?
Looking at the blank envelope, Dongfang Bai's expression shifted slightly, and a figure involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
After a moment of silence, he finally took the envelope, opened it, and four large characters appeared before his eyes.
Let's join hands and move forward together!
"This handwriting—it's really ugly!"
Seeing the familiar handwriting, Dongfang Bai smiled and gave an assessment, finally confirming who had sent this generous gift.
"It seems you really do know that person!"
When Granny Song saw the smile on Dongfang Bai's face, she knew perfectly well that she had guessed correctly.
We'd say we know each other, but we're not close!
Without making a sound, Dongfang Bai put the envelope down and looked away, not daring to meet Granny Song's gaze. He even felt a little guilty.
"Why would someone you don't know well give you such an expensive gift?"
With a hint of mockery on her face, Granny Song became even more certain of her earlier guess and breathed a sigh of relief.
Over the past three years, she has witnessed firsthand the transformation of Dongfang Bai, from a gentle young girl into the ruthless Tyrannical Dao Dongfang Bubai, who has devoted his entire life to hatred.
If things continue like this, he will eventually destroy himself. As an elder, she really didn't want to see her only relative, a younger generation, heading towards self-destruction, but she had no way to stop him.
Now, this girl has finally remembered that she is a woman and has found a confidante.
Regardless of what kind of person the man is, the fact that he offered such a generous gift is enough to show his sincerity.
"Mother-in-law!"
Dongfang Bai felt uncomfortable under Granny Song's gaze and couldn't help but let out a coquettish sigh.
"Alright! Alright! Alright! I won't say anymore, I won't say anymore, I'm going home now. I wonder how Big Yellow has been these past two months?"
With a smile, Granny Song got up and walked outside.
Her mission was complete, and it was time to go home. She wondered how her dog was doing, and whether it had gone hungry for the past month.
"Mother-in-law, please stay for a few days so I can spend more time with you!"
Dongfang Bai also quickly got up, looking reluctant, after all, she hadn't visited Granny Song for a long time.
"No need. I've been living here for over a month and I'm already tired of it. Besides, quite a few people have been watching me all this time. Staying any longer might expose your identity."
Shaking her head, Granny Song declined Dongfang Bai's offer.
After all, this is the headquarters of the Sun Moon Holy Cult at Black Wood Cliff. Even though Dongfang Bai is now the Right Envoy of the cult, there are still many people watching him. Staying here any longer would be pointless.
In fact, if those secret manuals weren't so important, she wouldn't have wanted to come here and cause trouble for Dongfang Bai.
" Girl Bai, you have a long life ahead of you, and there are many things you should pay attention to. You shouldn't live in hatred. I'm sure your father and mother wouldn't want to see you like this."
As she reached the doorway, Granny Song suddenly stopped, said something earnestly, and then continued walking away.
Dongfang Bai stood there, stunned, for Jiujiu before he came to his senses.
After a while, he sat back down on the stool, staring at the dozens of secret manuals on the table, muttering to himself thoughtfully.
"Did he realize it afterward? Or was he not hypnotized by the Soul-Bewitching Zither Music at all those two nights?"
Since the other party was able to deliver the secret manual to the Dongfang Lineage, they must have known that she was the last surviving member of the Dongfang Lineage. However, she was unsure whether the other party knew from the beginning or discovered something was wrong and investigated afterwards.
After all, she had initially sent him to investigate the Dongfang Lineage, which left behind clues.
In comparison, she was more inclined to believe that the guy knew from the beginning and that he was only pretending to be bewitched by the Soul-Bewitching Zither Music those two nights.
After all, although the Soul-Bewitching Zither Music was very powerful, even Grandmaster- level expert could be bewitched by her at the time, let alone someone who was just an external martial arts practitioner who didn't cultivate internal energy.
However, nothing is absolute. If the other party's willpower is strong enough, they can also be immune to the Soul-Bewitching Zither Music and maintain their own consciousness.
Although it seemed incredible, she became even more convinced that the guy was capable of doing it.
After all, he was a man with unimaginable ideals!
"Waaah!"
Just then, a soft chirping sound rang out, and a fluffy white Little Fox appeared at the window, its round little eyes staring intently at Dongfang Bai, seemingly hesitant to approach but also wary of something.
"You little brat! Come here right now, I won't let you bleed this time!"
Upon seeing the Little Fox, Dongfang Bai smiled and gestured for the creature to come over.
Seeing that Dongfang Bai truly meant no harm, the Little Fox put aside its worries and happily climbed into Dongfang Bai's arms, even climbing onto his shoulder, appearing very joyful.
As the little creature hopped around, its tail flicked and knocked off the hairpin securing Dongfang Bai's high crown, causing a cascade of black hair to fall down. Strangely, two fluffy little ears were also revealed.
"Naughty little guy!"
Holding the cheerful, affectionate little creature from his shoulder into his arms, Dongfang Bai gently stroked his two Little Fox ears, his expression now showing a hint of distress.
Since obtaining the Body Tempering True Scripture, she has studied and comprehended it, and even boldly practiced the secret technique of fusing the blood of wild beasts, using the blood of this Xiao Bai.
As the secret manual had predicted, she Awakening her Bloodline Power and Bloodline Divine Ability. Moreover, her Bloodline Divine Ability were quite powerful. Although her cultivation had not yet broken through to the Grandmaster Realm, she was confident that she could contend with the Grandmaster Realm experts with her Bloodline Divine Ability abilities, and even kill them.
only...
"Why didn't that bastard say this secret technique has side effects!"
Frustrated, Dongfang Bai tugged at his two increasingly large fox ears, his hatred for Wang Hao burning like a rage.
While increased strength is a good thing, changes even in physical form are excessive, making her afraid to reveal it, lest she be seen as a monster and destroyed.
Even though the Sun Moon Holy Cult is an evil force, it would be difficult for them to accept such a change.
That's why she secluded herself for two months in an attempt to find a solution, but unfortunately she couldn't find one. In the end, she could only wear a tall crown and use her hair to barely cover her fox ears.
And perhaps because of the fusion with the little guy's blood, the little guy was exceptionally close to her, and during the two months of her seclusion, the little guy kept wandering outside.
She even developed a sense of familiarity with it.
