Chapter 118 Planning power banks
Hei Xue finished speaking, he finally left.
Jiang Bai was completely bewildered :"What... does she mean?"
Qian Renxue shook her head:"Never mind her. Let’s go inside and eat first, so as not to keep Li’er waiting."
The two walked into the private room hand in hand. Jiang Li’er was resting her chin on her hand, smiling at them with a mischievous glint in her eyes.
"Sister Xue’er~"Jiang Li’er called out sweetly ,"Long time no see!"
Qian Renxue blushed slightly and quickly sat down on the other side of Jiang Bai:"Sister Li’er, it’s been a long time. I heard from Jiang Bai that you suffered in... that secret realm ruins..."
"It’s alright, the gains are even greater!"Jiang Li’er began to share her experiences in Dragon Valley with great enthusiasm , of course, omitting certain parts that were"not suitable for children".
The three of them ate and chatted, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere.
...
The three spent the next two days sightseeing in Sword City.
Qian Renxue , enjoying a rare moment of relaxation, strolled through the city with Jiang Bai like any ordinary girl, visiting weapon shops and apothecaries, and even watching a swordplay competition held by the Wind Sword Sect. Jiang Li’er, on the other hand, was more interested in the various snacks in the city, eating non-stop along the way.
Hei Xue would occasionally appear, following them from a distance, or wandering alone in some dark corners, but she never disturbed the three of them.
Jiang Bai and Qian Renxue indeed didn’t take Hei Xue’s warning to heart. After all, the two, having been separated for so long, were bound to be moved by each other and share tender moments.
This infuriated Hei Xue, who was secretly observing.
Whenever the night is deep and quiet, when Qian Renxue and Jiang Bai are intimate in the inn room, the sensory synchronization between their clones and their original selves causes Hei Xue indescribable torment.
"Those two bastards..."
Hei Xue lay on a bed in another inn , biting the blanket, her face flushed and her body burning with heat.
"wait for me ..."
She couldn’t continue, because another wave of synchronized perception struck.
So, Hei Xue stayed with them through two unbearable nights.
...
Two and a half days later, at noon.
Outside the city of Sword , there is a ten-mile-long pavilion.
Qian Renxue and Jiang Bai parted ways here.
"Are you really not going to stay a few more days?"Qian Renxue held Jiang Bai’s hand, her eyes filled with reluctance.
Jiang Bai shook his head:"The far north is a long way off , it’s best to set off sooner rather than later. And... I think we ’ll see each other again very soon!"
Qian Renxue knew he wanted to become stronger quickly, and she guessed that Jiang Bai might also have a divine test to complete, so she stopped pressuring him.
She tiptoed and gave him a light kiss on the lips.
"Be careful. If you encounter danger... remember to run away as soon as possible."
"I will,"Jiang Bai solemnly promised."You too , relax a bit."
Hei Xue stood a short distance away, arms crossed, coldly watching the scene. Only after the two separated did she walk over and say to Qian Renxue,"All done being lovey-dovey? Shouldn’t you go back?"
Qian Renxue glanced at Jiang Bai one last time, then turned and left with Hei Xue.
Jiang Bai watched their figures disappear at the end of the official road before turning to Jiang Li’er:"Let’s go."
The two arrived at a secluded spot outside the city, where Jiang Bai summoned the Wind Dragon. The azure dragon spread its wings, its body nearly thirty meters long, its scales gleaming metallically in the sunlight.
Jiang Bai leaped onto the dragon’s back, with Jiang Li’er following closely behind. The wind dragon let out a long roar, soared into the sky, and flew northward.
On the dragon’s back, Jiang Bai lay on his back, his head resting on Jiang Li’er’s lap.
Her legs were long and straight, with just the right amount of flesh, unlike some women who are bony and thin. Instead, they were like being wrapped in a layer of warm, soft jade, making them incredibly comfortable to rest on.
Jiang Li’er looked down at him, a few strands of golden hair blowing in the air currents above, brushing against Jiang Bai’s cheeks. She suddenly spoke.
"Jiang Bai, what exactly are we going to do in the far north?"
Jiang Bai closed his eyes, feeling the softness and warmth against his legs:"Find a soul beast."
"Soul Beast?"Jiang Li’er blinked, then suddenly leaned down, trying to see Jiang Bai’s expression, but from this angle, she could only see her own chest, her large white breasts blocking her view.
She paused for a few seconds, then sat up straight, her tone slightly wary:"That soul beast... is it male or female?"
Jiang Bai:"..."
He opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Li’er helplessly:"What are you thinking? Of course, it’s a male."
"Oh~"Jiang Li’er stuck out her tongue , revealing a sly smile."Hehe, I ’m just keeping an eye on you for Sister Xue’er!"
Jiang Bai closed his eyes again, not replying, but pondering his next plan.
Even before deciding to go to the far north, he had inquired about the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm from Emperor Tian and Emperor Bing.
According to Di Tian , the ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest have not found any trace of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, which means that the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm has not yet been imprisoned at the bottom of the Lake of Life as a"power bank".
Ice Emperor stated that she had indeed encountered a despicable and lewd fat silkworm in the far north.
"That damned fat silkworm, I’ve encountered it several times!"Ice Emperor said through gritted teeth.
"His cultivation level is ridiculously high, but his combat strength is pitifully weak, not even as good as a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast. I tried to kill and eat him several times, but he always escaped."
She paused, her tone growing even more disgusted:"What’s most disgusting is that before that fat silkworm ran away, it spouted nonsense like ’Bingbing, I love you,’ and ’Bingbing, wait for me to become stronger and I’ll come and marry you!’ I’m the Ice Jade Scorpion, and he’s the Ice Silkworm! Natural enemies! Understand? It’s as absurd and laughable as a rabbit that likes to eat grass falling in love with Blue Silver Grass!"
Ice Emperor mentioned this , her golden eyes practically spit fire.
"An ice silkworm dares to speak such words to its natural enemy, the Ice Jade Scorpion? It’s the greatest insult to me!"
Therefore, Jiang Bai speculated that the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm should still be sleeping soundly in a hidden ice cave in the far north, slowly improving its cultivation by devouring ten-thousand-year-old ice marrow, and occasionally waking up to wander around.
"This time, I must find and capture him,"Jiang Bai thought to himself.
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm releases incredibly pure spiritual energy, which soul beasts can directly absorb to enhance their cultivation. If it could be stored within the tower’s inner world as a"charging station"for the dragon beasts , the overall speed of their strength improvement would be greatly accelerated.
Ice Emperor wholeheartedly agreed to this; she had long wanted to kill that fat silkworm that dared to desecrate her.
"We must find that fat silkworm!"Ice Emperor ’s eyes flashed coldly."After we catch him, let me beat him up to vent my anger. Don’t worry, I won’t kill him; I’ll keep him as your ’power bank’."
The wind dragon roared, and the speed increased once more.
On the ground below them , a jade-green figure had been quietly following them at a distance that was neither too close nor too far.
Bi Ji looked up at the dragon’s shadow receding into the sky, a hint of surprise flashing in her emerald eyes.
"Why... do I feel... like I’m falling behind?"
In the far north, that ancient, frozen white world is slowly unfolding at the edge of sight.
Meanwhile, a fat silkworm that was fast asleep deep in the ice cave suddenly shivered and groggily turned over.
