Chapter 82: Good Thing She’s as Dense as a Log

Could it be that the water stains on the ground were caused by Xiaoyou’s Magic Arts getting out of control?

Was it because of the incompatibility between ‘Yang Flame’ and Water Elemental Technique that she ended up like that just now?

And the reason she hid—could it be that she wanted to adjust the Water Elemental balance within her body?

That must be the most likely reason.

Bai Shuanglian thought so, feeling that the truth of the matter was probably just as she imagined.

As the most outstanding member of the new generation of the Bai Family, Bai Shuanglian had always been held to high expectations since she was young.

One could say that she grew up immersed in cultivation and study, so in some respects, she was like a blank, pure sheet of paper.

As for those indecent things, she’d only seen some Netizens’ comments online and only knew such acts existed in the world—she had never tried to understand them in detail.

Yes, the most indecent thing she could imagine was sticking out one’s tongue during a kiss.

She was half-ignorant about anything else.

For example, the things that just happened—if it were a normal, healthy person, they’d surely understand what happened to Ling Xiaoyou.

But Bai Shuanglian would simply think it was a problem with cultivation.

Bai Shuanglian looked at the water sphere not far away.

Sure enough, it was because I didn’t think things through.

I should apologize to Xiaoyou when she comes out later.

Just as this thought appeared, she saw the water sphere burst like a popped bubble.

Then Ling Xiaoyou, dressed in new clothes—at least, in Bai Shuanglian’s eyes—walked out.

Although she was reluctant and the idea of running away was tempting, Ling Xiaoyou knew she couldn’t really go through with it.

After all, she wasn’t alone—she had friends and family in the Underworld.

If she disappeared for too long, they would definitely worry about her.

So, she could only come out from the sphere of avoidance and face this cruel reality.

“You…”

“Sorry, Xiaoyou!”

Ling Xiaoyou came over to Bai Shuanglian’s side, about to angrily say, ‘Are you happy now, seeing me like this?’

But before she could finish, Bai Shuanglian spoke first.

“Eh?”

Ling Xiaoyou was stunned by the apology.

This was not what she expected at all.

She had thought Bai Shuanglian would laugh at her—for turning into that just because of such a small thing.

But instead, Bai Shuanglian apologized, and looked sincerely regretful.

Could this girl be speaking in reverse?

Ling Xiaoyou looked at Bai Shuanglian suspiciously, but the latter didn’t mind her gaze.

She reached out to rub Ling Xiaoyou’s small head and said apologetically, “Sorry, I didn’t know that the ‘Yang Flame’ interacting with your Water Elemental Energy would cause imbalance within your body.”

“If I’d prepared more, things wouldn’t have turned out like this.”

Bai Shuanglian never considered that the problem might be with the Alchemy Pill itself.

After all, in her view, the pill was given by Hong Lingyan, a powerful cultivator and Ling Xiaoyou’s guardian, so it shouldn’t be an issue.

But what she didn’t know was that Hong Lingyan could be unreliable at times.

For example, she only tested the pill for safety and desired effect—but not for anything else.

Hong Lingyan’s unreliability, combined with Bai Shuanglian’s misunderstanding, led to this strange result.

Listening to Bai Shuanglian’s apology, Ling Xiaoyou felt as if a big question mark had popped up above her head.

What on earth is this girl talking about?

Ling Xiaoyou tilted her head at Bai Shuanglian’s apologetic expression, and suddenly, a bold guess rose in her mind.

Could it be…

Bai Shuanglian didn’t understand what really happened just now at all?

Ling Xiaoyou glanced secretly at Bai Shuanglian’s expression, sensing that she probably wasn’t lying.

“You… don’t tell me you really don’t know what happened just now?”

So Ling Xiaoyou asked tentatively, wanting to confirm whether Bai Shuanglian really had no clue what had just occurred.

“I know.”

But Bai Shuanglian’s reply made Ling Xiaoyou tense.

Just as she was about to explain, she heard Bai Shuanglian continue,

“Your Water Elemental Spirit Power rampaged, right? So you stopped to stabilize your inner Spirit Power.”

Ling Xiaoyou: “…Yes! That’s exactly it!”

She breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily, this girl hadn’t realized that it wasn’t actually Water Elemental Spirit Power rampage…

Well, in a sense, she supposed it could be called that, but it was definitely not the kind of rampage Bai Shuanglian was thinking of.

“Sorry, I didn’t expect things to turn out this way either.”

Bai Shuanglian rubbed Ling Xiaoyou’s head again, worry in her eyes.

“Are you alright now? Have you regained control of your Spirit Power?”

“Ah? Oh, yes, I’m completely recovered! Don’t worry!”

Ling Xiaoyou patted her small chest, hurriedly putting on a nothing’s-wrong expression, afraid that Bai Shuanglian’s slow reactions would reveal her abnormality.

“That’s good. Then should we call off today’s training—”

“We can’t just end it here! Otherwise, I’d have suffered all that pain for nothing!”

Ling Xiaoyou instantly rejected Bai Shuanglian’s suggestion to halt the Training Plan.

She’d already suffered so much today, and her Resistance to ‘Yang Flame’ had reached 20%—if she stopped now, wouldn’t all that suffering go to waste?

This kind of Resistance would only regress if not fully trained in one go!

It was like, ‘Since you’ve already come this far,’ Ling Xiaoyou figured, ‘since I’ve already done it, I might as well go all the way and finish the Yang Flame Resistance Training, so I don’t have to suffer again in the future!’

Of course, next time, she definitely had to be prepared! She absolutely couldn’t lose control like today ever again!

Otherwise, she’d really never be able to face Bai Shuanglian again—it would be too embarrassing!

“But are you really alright?”

Bai Shuanglian looked at the seemingly confident Ling Xiaoyou with concern.

“I’m fine!”

Ling Xiaoyou pretended not to care, waving her small hand.

“I have experience now—next time, this definitely won’t happen again!”

“This…”

Bai Shuanglian tried to persuade her further, but Ling Xiaoyou decisively grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the Dense Forest.

“Let’s stop talking about this. Didn’t you say you’d treat me to a meal?”

“I’m hungry now—this is the perfect time for you to treat me!”

“Let’s go!”
