Bai Lingfeng and Huang Jingjing were strolling along slowly.
“Senior Brother Bai, you’re so handsome and strong, there are many people in the sect who like you. I wonder if there’s someone among them you like?”
Huang Jingjing asked with a grin.
Bai Lingfeng only felt a bit baffled.
“Really? I haven’t noticed much.”
“As for who I like?”
Huang Jingjing immediately perked up her ears.
‘He thought of a certain mischievous and adorable figure.’
‘That person liked girls, and he couldn’t fulfill that for now.’
He couldn’t help but sigh.
“For now, I only want to cultivate. I haven’t put much thought into feelings.”
“Alright.”
Huang Jingjing felt both relieved and a bit regretful.
“Then what kind of person does Senior Brother Bai like? Would you mind sharing?”
Bai Lingfeng didn’t look back, flying straight ahead, only a faint voice came.
“I like the one I like. Nothing specific.”
“’I like the one I like,’ what kind of type is that?”
Huang Jingjing was completely baffled.
…
On the other side.
Lin Huanhuan was truly burning with anxiety at this moment.
She had already thrown the barbecue aside.
She looked up, her gaze fixed tightly on the direction Bai Lingfeng might come from. Her hand gripping her clothes grew tighter, but she didn’t notice at all.
“Damn it! Bai Lingfeng, what the hell are you doing? It’s been so long and you haven’t come. Your female lead is about to become medicine!”
Lin Huanhuan said, her voice nearly trembling.
She couldn’t help but stand up and stomp her feet on the ground every now and then.
‘According to the original work, about half a cup of tea after You Yuelan and Yijia went in, Yijia would die.’
‘Then after a few breaths, You Yuelan would also be in dire straits, and Bai Lingfeng would arrive in time and rescue the endangered You Yuelan.’
‘But in this situation, half a cup of tea has almost passed, and Bai Lingfeng is nowhere to be seen. Can he teleport here in a moment?’
‘Damn it, what is going on?!’
At this moment, the sky was gradually darkening, the sun slowly descending.
The boundless night was slowly devouring the day.
The howling of wolves began to echo from the surrounding mountains and forests.
It was about time for wild beasts to appear.
The calls of birds also sounded from time to time.
These should have been perfectly normal sounds, but falling on Lin Huanhuan’s ears at this moment, they only made her feel extremely irritated.
Her heart felt as if a cat had extended its claws and was constantly scratching at her chest, extremely uncomfortable.
She looked at the broken temple.
There were no lights inside.
The half-open temple door was like an invisible giant mouth, ready to devour everything.
The creaking sound was like the laughter of a monster in the darkness.
“Damn it!”
Lin Huanhuan tried to close her eyes.
But the scene before her seemed deeply branded into her mind, impossible to shake off, making her heart uneasy.
As time ticked by second by second, she began to be sure that Bai Lingfeng had definitely been delayed by something.
He definitely wouldn’t be able to arrive on time.
‘Why is that?’
A trace of confusion flashed in Lin Huanhuan’s eyes.
And she quickly found the answer in her heart.
‘This should be the changed plot, so is You Yuelan going to die this time?’
‘Forget it, if she dies, she dies. What’s it to me? I’m just a villain, what’s it to me?’
Lin Huanhuan rubbed her hands, trying to convince herself.
But scenes of her time with You Yuelan surged out like a tide, appearing before her eyes.
That girl who liked to hug her and said that was her way of bullying her seemed to be right in front of her, staring blankly at her, unwilling to think about anything, only wanting to hug her and sleep.
Even though they started with an utterly ridiculous threat.
There had hardly been any ambiguity between them.
The most time they spent together was just hugging and sleeping.
Even though they hadn’t experienced many unforgettable things together.
But as Lin Huanhuan looked into her own heart, she couldn’t let go of that figure, that persistent figure.
That lively Yijia also surfaced in her heart.
As if to add to her distress, she had once greeted her in the Xuan Shui Secret Realm.
Lin Huanhuan couldn’t help but clench her fists, lowering her eyes and whispering.
“Why do you do this to me? I can’t save you.”
“I’m not Bai Lingfeng, with cross-border combat power. If I go in, I probably can’t save you either.”
“Damn!”
Lin Huanhuan lowered her head and was silent for two seconds, then suddenly kicked the stone at her feet away.
“I really owe you! Why is this technique’s side effect so strong? Such a small amount of past feelings makes me so guilty. When I get back, I have to find a way to cut off this side effect!”
Having said that, Lin Huanhuan immediately felt a sense of relief in her heart.
‘That’s right, I’m not feeling guilty. I don’t have that thing.’
‘I’m just influenced by this family inheritance technique.’
‘Anyway, if I’m going to save them, I can save both if I go in now.’
‘And I don’t need to win. I just need to stall for a while until Bai Lingfeng arrives, and then everything will be over.’
‘Sigh, now it really is about past events.’
Thinking of this, Lin Huanhuan hesitated no longer and directly dashed toward the broken temple.
At the same time, to be safe, she sent a voice transmission to the Lin family, telling them to bring people immediately.
…
Inside the Mustard Seed Secret Realm.
The pressure continued.
At this moment, Yijia felt that even breathing had become extremely difficult.
She turned her head with all her might, barely able to see through bloodshot eyes that You Yuelan’s waist had been pressed down deeply.
Blood was continuously spurting from her mouth and nose.
Xuan Yin Zhenren sneered coldly.
“How is it? Can you still curse now?”
You Yuelan forced her head up and bit her tongue.
She forcibly snatched a shred of self from the endless fatigue and pressure.
Squeezing out a smile, she said.
“Senior Sister, I’m fine, don’t worry.”
Yijia forced her head back and let out a heartbreaking sound.
Gritting her teeth, she barely forced out a few words.
“Damn old bastard, you’ll die a horrible death!”
“What if I die a horrible death first?”
“You will die before me, and then you will be refined into medicine and consumed by me.”
“This is your fate, an unavoidable fate.”
Xuan Yin Zhenren said calmly.
Like a lofty god pronouncing an irresistible judgment on mortals.
“Yijia, the techniques of you and your junior sister were specially chosen by me, precisely so that you would not be able to resist no matter what.”
“You care deeply about those around you, even more than your own life.”
“Although your other senior and junior sisters died, they didn’t die before your eyes, so the impact wasn’t as great.”
“But it doesn’t matter. Today you will watch You Yuelan die before your eyes.”
“Then you will be able to imagine how the others died.”
“Rage, suffer—all of this will become the nourishment for your growth as a medicinal herb.”
“When you die, that will be the moment the medicine is fully mature!”
Yijia was still struggling with great effort.
In her heart, she desperately tried to calm down, not letting Xuan Yin Zhenren’s scheme succeed.
But her junior sister’s miserable state was right before her eyes.
Given the fact that her other senior and junior sisters had died tragically, how could she not be angry or in pain?
‘We made so many preparations. If not for this mountain-like pressure, we might have been able to break this old bastard’s scheme!’
‘Is this our fate? An unchangeable fate?’
Boom—
Just at that moment, a loud explosion rang out.
“Hey, old thing, don’t you know?”
“They’re my people. Who allowed you to touch them?!”
