After Breaking Off the Engagement, I Started Pursuing My Master

Chapter 91: You’re so cute

Jiang Huai almost simultaneously tossed the bodies of Ji Qingchen and the monk in grey into the lotus lake in front of them.

The bodies floated on the surface of the lake for a moment before a large fish covered in black scales leaped up and swallowed both corpses. It then sank back to the bottom of the lake in an instant. The waves created by the fish were high, soaking the grass on the shore completely.

Most of these heavenly and earthly treasures emit spiritual energy, which is beneficial to fierce beasts, so they usually stay near these treasures to guard them. Clearly, this large fish was the demon beast guarding the Rainbow Lotus.

“I’ll drive this fierce beast out of the lake. Friends, you two will restrain the beast, and then she will draw her sword to slay it. How does that sound?”

Jiang Huai looked at the two casual cultivators, his expression returning to its gentle and scholarly appearance.

The two casual cultivators nodded. They had already seen that the demon beast guarding the Rainbow Lotus was only at the late Nascent Soul stage, and although none of them were adept at water combat, it was a good thing to be able to force the beast out.

Jiang Huai silently raised his hand and took out four Fire Dragon Talismans. The Fire Dragon Talismans hung in mid-air, and one of the casual cultivators recognized them.

“For a single Rainbow Lotus, isn’t this a bit too extravagant?”

A Fire Blast Talisman was worth a thousand spirit stones, but a Fire Dragon Talisman was worth three thousand spirit stones each. However, Jiang Huai had only modified the Fire Blast Talismans into Fire Dragon Talismans, which actually cost only a few hundred spirit stones in spiritual liquid. But he couldn’t make this business work because modifying talismans required the consumption of soul power, and his soul power was already spent on drawing talismans and restraining the monk in grey, consuming half of it.

“Just give me two more petals later.”

Jiang Huai said with a casual smile, then he activated the four Fire Dragon Talismans. The Fire Dragon Talismans suspended in mid-air transformed into four magnificent pillars of fire in an instant. The pillars fell towards the lotus pond, and in a moment, mist rose from the pond water, which quickly became scalding hot. The mist began to spread, the air heated up, and the birds and beasts scattered, while the fish demon, due to the boiling water that was about to dry up, leaped out of the lake.

To Jiang Huai’s surprise, the fish demon also had several small legs, but it was clearly not adept at moving on land. The two casual cultivators had been waiting for a long time, and the moment the fish demon emerged from the water, they drew their swords. Bai Li held the Ye Ning sword given to her by Jiang Huai and began to look for the fish demon’s vital points.

Jiang Huai stood aside, no longer participating in the battle, but kept a close watch on the two casual cultivators. One must always be wary of others; if they dared to attack Bai Li in the chaos, he would use the Water Moon sword to slay them in advance.

Fortunately, his worries were unfounded. The fish demon’s body was soon covered in wounds, and Bai Li, who had been watching for a long time, finally seized the opportunity. She leaped forward, her sword shining brightly, and plunged the blade into the fish demon’s forehead. With a light tap of her toes on the fish demon’s forehead, its body soon collapsed.

Bai Li leaped up and pounced towards the lotus flower, pulling up the roots of the Rainbow Lotus along with it. She counted the petals; there were twenty-four in total.

She handed the lotus to Jiang Huai, who carefully counted the petals and then plucked ten of them, giving five to each of the two people in front of him. He asked with a smile.

“Is that enough?”

“Enough, enough,” the two casual cultivators replied, their faces showing some gratitude.

After all, strictly speaking, they hadn’t contributed much. It was Jiang Huai’s use of the four Fire Dragon Talismans that had driven the fish demon ashore, which was key, and Bai Li’s timely sword strike had prevented the battle from dragging on.

“Then we thank you, Young Master Jiang Huai. We shall take our leave now.”

The two casual cultivators prepared to leave, and Jiang Huai nodded slightly, watching them disappear into the distance.

The fish demon’s body was kicked back into the nearly dried-up lotus pond by Bai Li. Jiang Huai took out another Fire Dragon Talisman; since they had already killed, it was crucial to destroy the corpse and erase the traces.

After the fish demon’s body turned to ashes, Jiang Huai and Bai Li turned to leave together. Bai Li held the petals in her hand and looked up at Jiang Huai.

“Can I eat them directly?”

“No, wait for me to refine them into a pill for you.”

“Okay,” Bai Li nodded obediently.

Bai Li, who had avenged her great grudge, seemed very happy, bouncing as she walked. Sometimes, when Jiang Huai looked at Bai Li’s face, he would unconsciously treat her like a little girl, even though she was actually a year older than him.

The two found a lakeside without any fierce beasts inhabiting it, and there happened to be a cave by the lake. Jiang Huai sat in the cave and began to refine the pills. The remaining fourteen lotus petals were refined into seven Lotus Pills. Jiang Huai took two of them, and the rest were given to Bai Li.

“Why don’t you take more?”

“My qi sea is broken, and I can’t increase my cultivation level. I’ll take two to give to my junior sister in the sect.”

“Oh, then I’ll just take three, and you can give the rest to them.”

“My junior sisters’ cultivation is also at the peak of Foundation Establishment. Eating the Lotus Pills is just for consolidation; eating too many is useless.”

Jiang Huai smiled helplessly and casually pinched Bai Li’s cheek, which was soft and squishy. Bai Li didn’t refuse any further and took the five pills.

“Can I eat them all at once?”

“Yes, eat them, and then refine them. I’ll protect you while you do it.”

So Bai Li ate all five Lotus Pills in one go, and the vast spiritual energy entered her sea of qi. She sat down cross-legged and began to earnestly refine the power of the medicine. Jiang Huai stood by, quietly watching her.

“How is it?”

“I’m at the late Nascent Soul stage now.”

Bai Li opened her eyes, which were noticeably brighter. Then she rubbed her stomach and looked at Jiang Huai. Just as she was about to say she was hungry, Jiang Huai had already handed her a roasted chicken leg.

“You know me so well.” Bai Li took a big bite of the chicken leg.

They had only entered the secret realm for three days, but the gains were quite substantial. Jiang Huai now had seven Golden Scale Fruits, and the cultivation of the tenth layer of the Immaculate Golden Body had a direction. He also had more than forty thousand spirit stones, and Bai Li’s cultivation had reached the late Nascent Soul stage. Next, they would explore the first area in search of the Dragon Blood Spirit Flower.

Bai Li’s goal was the Dragon Crystal from the Dragon corpse.

Now that night had fallen, Bai Li wanted to bathe, so Jiang Huai got up with her. After making sure there was no one around, Bai Li sat by the lake, carefully removing her clothes, and slowly walked into the lake. The water was not deep, just covering her collarbone. The faint and hazy moonlight fell on her cheeks, making her snow-white hair that had just reached her shoulders slightly translucent.

Jiang Huai sat by the lake, keeping watch for her. Suddenly, Bai Li asked him.

“Do you want to come down and bathe too?”

“Uh, I’ll wait until you’re done.”

“Hehe, you’re pretending again.”

Bai Li suddenly reached out and grabbed his calf. Before he could react, she pulled him down into the lake. Jiang Huai steadied himself and began to take off his clothes. After removing all his clothes, he opened the bath essence he carried with him. Bai Li came closer and blinked at him.

“I want some too.”

She took Jiang Huai’s hand and walked to shallower waters. Gradually, her body emerged from the water. Jiang Huai turned his back to her, looking at the moonlight reflecting off the slender and snowy body of the girl, feeling a sense of unreality.

The surrounding trees were dense, as if they were primitive people living in the mountains, hunting at sunrise and returning to the cave at sunset. When they got dirty, they bathed in the water and then returned to the cave to do shameless things and sleep in each other’s arms.

Jiang Huai poured the bath essence on her back and began to gently apply it.

Damn it.

“Turn around, let me see your tongue.” Jiang Huai reached out and touched her shoulder.

Bai Li turned her head, her lips slightly parted, but this time her tongue looked completely normal. Jiang Huai was taken aback, looking at her gently swaying tongue.

“Your tongue…?”

“I’m at the late Nascent Soul stage now, so my tongue has also transformed. Now I look almost no different from your human race.”

Bai Li’s smile was charming, and her eyes mischievously looked down, “So what will you do now?”

“No, we should wait until you’re done bathing.”

“I have a way.”

Bai Li looked up slightly, “If you want to do bad things to me, then some of the divine power of the Serpent Clan on my body will disperse and fall on you. When my mother finds me, she will want to kill you to take back the divine power of the Serpent Ancestor. Think about that.”

Bai Li stared at Jiang Huai Jr. for several seconds, then blinked innocently.

“What, you were afraid of my tongue before, but now you’re not afraid of death?”

“…”

Jiang Huai was speechless, hearing Bai Li laugh cheerfully.

“Then should I transform back into my true form?”

“No, no, no, no! That would be scary.”

“Then let’s do it this way. You just bear with it. Hurry up and help me apply the bath essence, it’s so cold with the wind blowing.”

Jiang Huai looked at the girl’s slender body in his line of sight. Damn it, his brother treats him like a brother; how can he have lewd thoughts about his brother! Jiang Huai Jr., behave, or I’ll punch you!

Jiang Huai continued to apply the bath essence seriously. After finishing with her back, Bai Li turned to face him.

“You have to apply it well on the front too.”

Jiang Huai hurriedly closed his eyes and handed the bottle of essence to her.

“You apply it yourself.”

“Hahahaha.” Bai Li laughed merrily.

Jiang Huai kept his eyes tightly closed, but after a while, the girl’s hand touched his chest. Her hand was slightly cold from soaking in the pool, gently caressing his chest. Soon after, she moved behind Jiang Huai, and he felt a soft touch on his back. His body shivered, and he stuttered.

“I-Is this also applying bath essence?”

“Didn’t you write about it in ‘Floating Clouds and Splendid Elegance’?”

Bai Li innocently replied, standing on tiptoe with an effort to reach his back, rubbing hard. But as she rubbed, it seemed as if peach blossoms quietly bloomed in the snow.

“You’re too much. I didn’t even think about sleeping with you, but you actually want to sleep with me.” Bai Li’s voice seemed to carry a hint of complaint.

“I am guilty, I repent.” Jiang Huai was at a loss.

He really wanted to punch Jiang Huai Jr.

“Forget it, forget it, shall I rub it for you?”

“Are you just teasing me for fun?”

“Yeah.”

Bai Li innocently replied, then jumped in front of him again, “Actually, it doesn’t matter. Why don’t you seriously think about what you want to play? I can do it as long as it’s not too excessive.”

“No, no, no, no! It’s not okay!”

Jiang Huai shook his head. Bai Li looked at him seriously for a while, then suddenly laughed, reaching out to pinch his face.

“You’re so cute,” she said with a smile.
