Book 10: Chapter 12 (2)
Her body is incredibly sensitive.
Even without releasing her Divine Sense, she was immediately aware something was wrong.
Very, very hot.
There were two "fireballs" sticking to her back!
She quickly spun around.
"Miss Xia!"
Her words almost reached Xia Qingqing's ears at the same time as Zhao Haiya's.
Xia Qingqing felt very uncomfortable when she was hugged by Bai Lian.
It looked like...
"Emmm..."
It looked like those who took the Secret Medicines in the game...
The problem is that Bai Lian didn't do anything.
She keeps all her Secret Medicines, ready to present them to Si Yunshang for tasting when the time comes.
"Miss Xia, what's wrong with you?"
Bai Lian lightly patted Xia Qingqing's cheek.
Xia Qingqing tried to open her eyes, but her eyelids were much heavier than a slab of iron.
Sure enough, it's still impossible.
But she still felt it.
A cold hand fell on her forehead.
The coolness stimulated her and eventually she didn't fall asleep completely.
She couldn't move or speak, she could only let Bai Lian manipulate her.
Bai Lian was quite sad.
Isn't this the same as "die before achieving fame"?
Although it hasn't reached that level yet, it is not a good sign either.
"How could a cultivator at the Golden Core Stage have a cold and fever?"
Murmuring softly, Bai Lian began to give Xia Qingqing a physical examination.
So here comes the question....
Bai Lian found nothing!
She even looked into Xia Qingqing's toenails several times to make sure she hadn't overlooked anything.
The final conclusion was...
These toes are very white and round!
Xia Qingqing is perfectly healthy and should not be having a fever.
Bai Lian began to doubt if her medical skills were real.
After all, this is something sent by the system.
However, the system repeatedly asserted that it had no bugs, so she took it at its word.
If Xia Qingqing's body is normal, then the only problem can be her soul.
Bai Lian gave Xia Qingqing's soul a rough inspection, but found no abnormalities.
She couldn't go deeper.
On the one hand, she couldn't open up Xia Qingqing's soul for an internal check without her permission.
On the other hand, her attainments in the realm of the soul are rather limited.
"White Emperor Bai Lian." The turtle called softly. "Is there anything I can help?"
Zhao Haiya said nothing, he just watched Bai Lian. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Now he could only rely on Bai Lian.
Bai Lian was silent.
She saw three new options in front of her.
(Translated by Gravity Tales ??)
[Task 1: Explore the depths of Xia Qingqing's soul (Reward: the best-grade Spirit Tool - Light with Dust).]
[Task 2: Take Xia Qingqing into Qingxu (Reward: Soft Skill +12)]
[Task 3: Take Xia Qingqing away from Qingxu (Reward: Light Skill+12)]
Light with Dust is a special Spirit Tool that can hide the user's body, the risk its value represents isn't something Bai Lian can handle it.
Bai Lian estimated that only after she has reached the Transcendency Stage can she challenge this level of task.
The risks of Task 3 are not low either.
Think about it.
She has already brought Xia Qingqing to Qingxu. Since the sea monster has set up a trap, will it easily let them go?
Bai Lian's gaze wandered between Task 2 and Task 3.
The risks of the two are not much different.
If it were in the past, she would definitely choose a task with less risk, which means Task 3.
But this time it's different.
Her Soft Skill has reached 588 points. If she adds 12 points more, it will barely reach the standard of the Transcendency Stage.
Whoa.
Bai Lian slowly exhaled.
She vaguely felt that the system was hinting at something through the tasks.
Her gaze fell upon Xia Qingqing.
There is nothing to hesitate about.
Go!
Bai Lian looked up, "I have a bold idea!"
"?"
The turtle and Zhao Haiya faced each other.
Bai Lian said, "Wait for me here. I'll take Miss Xia to Qingxu."
Zhao Haiya hurriedly said, "Me too..."
Bai Lian interrupted him, "I can't care about you if something happens."
Zhao Haiya shook his head and said, "White Emperor Bai Lian, you don't need to worry about me."
Stare~
Zhao Haiya felt a bit embarrassed as he was being stared at by Bai Lian.
He was indeed a bit willful, missing much of his former composure.
Finally, the turtle stood up and said, "Give it to me."
OK.
Since you said so, let you do it!
Bai Lian flew towards Qingxu with Xia Qingqing in her arms.
On the boundless sea, there was a small island with mysterious patterns floating around it.
Bai Lian stopped at a gap.
This is the way to enter Qingxu.
It's dark and deep.
Looking from the outside, you can't see the bottom at all.
Bai Lian plunged in head first.
Games are games and reality is reality, but she still feels warm, as if she has returned home.
She lowered her head and said to the confused Xia Qingqing, "I remember that there are many spiritual plants in Qingxu that can prolong your life. These spiritual plants may help you recover. I will take you to get them later. As long as we don't meet these old demons hiding in Qingxu, there won't be...."
As they walked through the passageway, Bai Lian was stunned by the moment she stepped onto the jade-green earth.
Xia Qingqing's body suddenly stopped feeling hot.
Not only did it not burn, but it also turned green.
Her hands turned green, her feet turned green, and even her hair turned green!
Take a closer look, that was a beam of light with countless bright white flecks scattered in between.
Just by smelling it, Bai Lian felt filled up.
It's the breath of life!
"..."
Raising her head, Bai Lian saw countless white streams suddenly appear in Qingxu.
Just like the scene she recreated with [Past Master].
Those white streams came from all directions and finally converged into Xia Qingqing's body.
Bai Lian slowly let go of Xia Qingqing. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
The wind was rising.
With Xia Qingqing floating in mid-air as the center, the vibration quickly spread throughout Qingxu.
At this moment, the cultivators exploring Qingxu all stopped what they were doing.
They turned around, tilted their heads back, and stared blankly at the white streaks of streams passing quickly through the sky.
"What happened?"
Some people still know the answer.
For example, the sea monster and the merperson.
After days of anxious waiting, a smile appeared on their faces.
The smile didn't last too long.
This is just the beginning, the real fight is yet to come.
Buzzing——
At one moment, when the tremors in Qingxu pavement were so strong that ordinary people could not even stand on their feet, a huge crack appeared on the ground.
The crack widened as the shaking continued, eventually reaching about three meters in width when the tremors stopped.
Bai Lian gazed intently at the world beyond the cracks.
There was a road beneath her feet, but due to the dense fog that has a visibility of fewer than three meters, she was completely unaware of where this road would lead.
But.
After taking a quick glance back at Xia Qingqing, who had quietly left behind her, she had an answer in her heart.
This road must be the way between the black water and the blue water.
There is a tree there, its name is Ruomu.
"I'm back again."
Xia Qingqing's voice sounded in Bai Lian's ear, yet it seemed strangely far away.
Bai Lian turned around.
She thought she hadn't guessed wrong after all.
She returned to Xia Qingqing with a smile, "Miss Xia, do you remember?"
Xia Qingqing smiled a bit coyly, like a gentle lady.
It looked like more than just the sound had changed.
Xia Qingqing in Bai Lian's knowledge never smiles like that.
Xia Qingqing said, "It can't be said that I remember them. I just go around and pick up the things that were left behind."
Bai Lian nodded.
She probably knows something, but there are many things she doesn't understand.
Because she has never seen it.
She has always enjoyed guessing, but she doesn't take what she guesses as the truth.
She doesn't need to worry about these things anymore.
Xia Qingqing took her first step.
Now that she had arrived here.
She had gone down this road before, she had gone down this road in her dreams, and now she has to go down it again!
As they passed by, Bai Lian held her hand.
Xia Qingqing turned her head in surprise.
It's cold.
It's as if she's dragging a corpse.
This is different from what Xia Qingqing imagined.
However, the sound was still the one she loved to hear.
"Now you are still weak, let me lead you in the front."
"OK."
Just one word.
One word, one promise.
The sound of the waves suddenly came in from outside.
Bai Lian held Xia Qingqing's hand and walked into the fog.
