Chapter 15 Goodbye Witch
Back at Chixiao Peak, Su Tingyu greeted him with a smile.
With her Soul Transformation Stage cultivation, she already knew everything that had happened on the Main Peak.
She gracefully walked up to Lu Bai, pinched his handsome face, and said, "Xiaobai, your Master's Wife is proud of you."
Lu Bai was both touched and embarrassed.
He was touched because, since childhood, he had never heard his Master's Wife say those words.
And he was embarrassed because he was already so grown up, yet his Master's Wife still pinched his face like when he was a child.
"Xiaobai! In the future, spend more time with Lian Ruo!"
Su Tingyu winked.
Like the outside world, she also thought that all of Lu Bai's changes were because of You Lianruo.
Hearing his Master's Wife mention You Lianruo, Lu Bai instinctively glanced at his Senior Sister.
Ji Fuyao's expression was calm, as if she hadn't heard anything.
Su Tingyu caught this detail and immediately said with a smile, "If you prefer Fu Yao, I won't object either."
"Mother!"
Ji Fuyao's icy cold pretty face instantly flushed with a hint of red, she glared at the two of them fiercely, then turned and left.
Su Tingyu pouted.
…
As dusk fell.
Lu Bai sat cross-legged in the small courtyard.
Before Cultivating, he wanted to do one thing first.
That was to experience the 'Swallowing Skill'.
Previously, when his Senior Sister was 'black-hearted', he didn't dare to try, fearing a counter-effect. Now that his Senior Sister had turned red, he no longer had this concern.
At most, he wouldn just fail to absorb anything.
Lu Bai took out a Spirit Stone from his Qiankun Bag; he had just won ten thousand from Fu Ziming, so he wasn't short on money.
With a thought, the Swallowing Skill automatically activated.
Pfft!
In the blink of an eye, the Spirit Stone in his hand turned into ashes.
But Lu Bai didn't clearly feel any elemental energy flowing into his body.
He frowned and took out another one.
Pfft!
It was still the same feeling.
Lu Bai pondered for a moment, then quickly took out a large pile, simply lying directly on them.
Pfft pfft… pfft!
Sounds like popping beans kept ringing out.
Lu Bai's eyes welled up with tears; he finally tasted the sensation of elemental energy entering his body.
It was just that.
This was too subtle, wasn't it?
It wasn't as effective as Cultivating normally with the "Xuanqing Skill."
Lu Bai's expression wilted, feeling very disheartened.
He estimated that the swallowing effect might only surpass normal Cultivation after lighting up the first red heart.
Sigh! Why is it so hard to take a shortcut!
…
In front of the Phantom Demon Hall.
Lu Bai didn't wait for Ji Fuyao for several consecutive days. He asked his Master's Wife and found out that she had left the sect for a mission.
Each peak had basic mission requirements every year; if they weren't completed, they wouldn't receive the corresponding resource allocation.
All of Chixiao Peak's missions were done by Ji Fuyao.
Ye Chengfeng and Lin Mu couldn't be relied on, and Lu Bai and Chu Hongyu lacked the ability.
Only Ji Fuyao could do it.
Therefore, she was essentially working part-time and studying, which was very hard.
Lu Bai sighed softly.
He wanted to help his Senior Sister.
But at this stage, he was willing but unable; it was better to Cultivate steadily first!
During the day, Lu Bai insisted on going to the 'Phantom Demon Hall' to be abused.
At night, he either meditated or pondered and practiced the 'Rainy Life' Sword Art.
Time passed quickly.
On this day, a continuous drizzle fell from the sky, combined with the swirling clouds and mist around the peaks, making it look like a fairyland on earth.
Lu Bai looked at this scene and felt that it was very similar to the profound charm emanating from 'Rainy Life'.
The more he looked, the more engrossed he became.
Then, his consciousness swayed, and he entered that mysterious space again.
In the space, mist and drizzle were also floating.
And that blurry figure was still endlessly practicing his sword.
…
Time flowed, and he didn't know how long had passed.
Lu Bai slowly woke up.
His whole body's Spiritual Qi surged, immediately shaking the surrounding raindrops to fly everywhere.
Qi Condensation Second Layer?
I actually Breakthrough like this, inexplicably.
…
Thump thump!
"Hong Yu, come out and practice with your Senior Brother."
In a moment, Chu Hongyu appeared, wearing a light yellow gauze dress, standing gracefully.
"No!" Chu Hongyu pouted and refused.
Last time in the back mountain, she was injured by her Senior Brother and was in pain for several days, so she didn't want to fight.
"Don't you want to play in the water?"
Lu Bai used his trick to coax children.
"Play in the water?"
Chu Hongyu's eyes lit up: "Okay, okay!"
…
In the drizzle, the two stood facing each other.
"Let's agree first, your power cannot exceed the Qi Condensation Early Stage."
Lu Bai felt a little ashamed; fighting with a child, he still had to ask the other party to go easy on him.
"En!"
Chu Hongyu nodded in agreement, then eagerly attacked Lu Bai.
The Move she used was… Foot Kick Water Bullet Art.
Lu Bai clapped his hands, splashing water all over his body and face.
Giggle giggle!
Chu Hongyu held her waist and laughed uncontrollably.
Lu Bai showed a helpless expression; he wanted to have a proper sparring session with his Junior Sister, but his Junior Sister only wanted to play with him.
Never mind.
Lu Bai brewed for a moment, gradually entering the profound charm of 'Rainy Life'.
He pointed his fingers like a sword and attacked Chu Hongyu.
Chu Hongyu was still playing around at first, but slowly, under Lu Bai's pressure, she had to get serious.
For a time, Sword Qi filled the small courtyard, and figures flew about.
The more Lu Bai fought, the more relaxed he became; many Moves came naturally, yet they were perfectly formed.
Chu Hongyu puffed out her cheeks, feeling a little sore in her wrists.
She unconsciously forgot her Senior Brother's instructions and raised her Realm to the Qi Condensation Middle Stage.
Lu Bai instantly felt the pressure double.
At this moment.
He drew with his hand, and a seemingly material Sword Qi appeared out of thin air.
When Chu Hongyu saw it, she immediately wanted to smash it.
But after she waved a palm, she found that the Sword Qi not only didn't dissipate but floated like willow catkins, making it difficult to grasp.
Then, Lu Bai continuously drew, sending out more than a dozen more.
These Sword Qi intertwined, forming a cage, and with a whoosh, they bound Chu Hongyu, making her unable to Move.
"Senior Brother!" Chu Hongyu struggled while shouting aggrievedly.
Lu Bai was interrupted and slowly woke up from the 'Smoky Rain Charm'.
Hmm?
He instantly widened his eyes.
Chu Hongyu's sheer dress was completely soaked by the rain, clinging tightly to her body. Outside was the 'Sword Qi Cage', which tightly bound her delicate body, making her curves prominent.
"Let's stop here today!" Lu Bai waved his hand to disperse the Sword Qi and hurriedly left.
"Not playing anymore?" Chu Hongyu scratched her head.
Back in his own small courtyard, Lu Bai replayed the battle in his mind.
He not only initially mastered the 'Rainy Life' Sword Style but also comprehended a derivative skill with a Seal nature: [Smoky Rain Binding].
…
Seven days later.
It was time for Lu Bai to go down the mountain to purchase again.
He stepped on his Flying Sword and flew straight to Sangyu City.
A month ago, it was here that the System reawakened, and he wrapped the first thread of affection around You Lianruo, who chased him all the way to the mountain gate.
Thinking about it now, it truly felt a bit nostalgic.
If not for that turning point, he would still be a small Trash of Chixiao Peak, living a life of comfort but without any expectations.
Now, everything had changed; he would embark on another Dao.
Upon arriving at Sangyu City, Lu Bai purchased everything he needed, and then, as if by some strange impulse, he walked to the place where he first met You Lianruo.
Recalling the scene at that time, Lu Bai couldn't help but show a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Judging by your expression, are you thinking of me?"
At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind him, pulling Lu Bai's thoughts back to reality.
He slowly turned around.
Instantly, his heart tightened.
H
e stammered, "You, why are you here?"
