Chapter 246 Don’t Be a Little Ghost (3.5k)
“Hiss…”
Hot water hit the ground with a crisp sound, and mist slowly rose. Su Jiu held a magic crystal in her mouth, and her originally pale complexion gradually regained some color. Her clear voice flowed like a spring—it was the doctor’s song.
“…A funeral for a rose, undoubtedly in the heart~♫”
“♪~The past is null and void when love has flown…”
Perhaps it was thinking of Bai Zhi in the illusion, her interaction with the other party was also so illusory, and the end was a hasty departure – like the fleeting white rose.
But this time, with the flower buds sent by Bai Zhi, she could ask Dean Zichen or the Silly Duke for help, and she should be able to exchange them for the Nine-Transformation Soul-Returning Grass at those large auctions. Bernice’s injury should also be healed.
After all, as a War God level medicinal herb, this Floating Life Blossom can strengthen the spirit without side effects. Battle King level experts can directly obtain Stage 2 Extraordinary Attributes by consuming it, and those with a foundation can even directly jump to Stage 3 Extraordinary Attributes!
As for the Nine-Transformation Soul-Returning Grass, it can only heal injuries. And the type of injuries it heals can generally be achieved by War God level Grand Priests with a certain price using Forbidden-level skills—in general, the value is about the same as the Floating Life Blossom without its stamen.
Accompanying the singing, the wooden hairpin at her feet became brighter and brighter. There was even a sense of materialization and dematerialization on the carvings on the hairpin. Although it was wooden, it gave people the feeling that it would turn into blooming flowers, and it slowly became indistinguishable from the small white flowers in the ancient house.
“Next life, Bai Ru Bai Mang was inexplicably destroyed~♬”
“♩~What I got is not who…”
Seeing that the bathtub was almost full, Su Jiu turned off the faucet, leaned against the bathtub, closed her tired eyes, and hummed softly, her little feet kicking the water surface up and down. She didn’t notice a few flowers suddenly floating between her legs, and the occasional falling petals drifted along the stream over the fine down, making it exceptionally quiet and peaceful.
This feeling was like soaking in a hot spring in a volcano, every cell in her body relaxed. She could feel the energy within her constantly fluctuating. As long as she obtained that so-called feather, she would probably break through to the late stage of mid-rank Battle General soon!
She might even reach the standard of a Peerless Battle General at the late stage of mid-rank Battle General. Peerless Battle General is not a rank, but a standard—those with half-step Battle King level strength in the Battle General stage can be called Peerless Battle Generals.
And there are differences in strength among Peerless Battle Generals. For a monstrous talent like Su Jiu, if she reaches the High-Rank Battle General stage, she could very likely be at the top of the Peerless Battle General pyramid. Generally, if people of this level officially challenge and succeed against a Battle King, they can receive a title.
Just as Su Jiu was slowly clearing her meridians, a sudden coolness surged from beneath her. The next moment, a vortex instantly appeared, accompanied by a strong light, which violently erupted from between her legs.
Su Jiu was immediately startled and instinctively narrowed her eyes.
“What is going on?!”
The light flashed, but in the instant after the light appeared, Su Jiu’s face changed drastically, because she could clearly feel a softness appearing in front of her lower body. That tight, pressing sensation was like Doubi Xi, but softer.
If Doubi Xi was the high elasticity of an athletic girl, and Bernice was the soft elasticity of a literary girl, then this was the softness of being frail and not exercising, a tactile sensation that could sink in like a sponge.
It aroused a desire to firmly hold and crush it into one’s embrace…
The empty feeling in front of Su Jiu’s chest was gone, replaced by that soft and delicate touch. A head rested on Su Jiu’s shoulder, warm. Their scattered green silk intertwined on the water surface…
The silence was like the Bridge of Sighs by the river tonight. They remained like this, as if nothing had happened.
“Did I get dizzy while bathing? How did someone suddenly appear?”
Thinking it was her illusion, Su Jiu swallowed and tentatively grabbed the other person’s forearm. The fingertips carried a slight warmth, constantly informing Su Jiu of the current crisis, causing her face to stiffen inexplicably.
A sense of fear instantly flooded her heart.
She quickly pulled back as if flying—Damn, it’s a real person!?
“This… this! Holy crap, you… you’re still alive?”
At that moment, Su Jiu’s face instantly turned red. Her neck mechanically lowered her head slowly. She saw a pair of pure white eyes, with a hint of frigidness, staring at her coldly, as if wanting to kill the “hooligan” in front of her.
Looking at that enchanting little face, Su Jiu’s hairs stood on end as if struck by electricity. No wonder she was scared. She knew that the other party was someone who wanted to turn her into a crippled person. Her teeth trembled slightly, and she slowly said,
“Little sister Bai Zhi?”
Her mourning for Bai Zhi was a romantic regret of a white moonlight—but if Bai Zhi really appeared, this would be a TMD horror story!
You must know that the other party was a powerful being, a High-Rank Battle King close to the Demigod Level. In front of her, she was no better than a kitten.
The two maintained this rather ambiguous posture. Su Jiu stared blankly at the enchanting face in front of her, with a hint of horror. After a moment, the corner of her mouth twitched, and she revealed a very ugly smile, softly saying in the other person’s ear, “Long time no see…”
Was she really crazy just now? Sticking her fingers into that fiend’s… This was like an old man hanging himself!
“Hooligan!”
Putting down Su Jiu’s thigh, Bai Zhi covered her chest, her bright demonic eyes staring at Su Jiu with a hint of coldness and ominous killing intent.
Her beautiful eyes moved slightly, and Bai Zhi’s gaze fell on Su Jiu’s old clothes. She was looking for something with great care. After about ten minutes, her gaze finally fell on the storage bag behind Su Jiu. A white light flashed in her eyes, and a smile appeared on her face. She quickly stepped forward.
“My Floating Life Blossom bud! With this, I should be able to recover to Battle King level cultivation in a year!”
Seeing Bai Zhi shove the flower bud into her face nakedly, a blush rose on Su Jiu’s neck. She quickly closed her eyes and thought to herself, “See no evil, hear no evil”—You only remember to cover your chest, right?
But does this mean Bai Zhi is not at Battle King level now?
Then what am I afraid of!
Just as Su Jiu was contemplating, a warmth suddenly touched her face, with a scent of flowers and grass, similar to the usual scent she had in Floating Life Dream. She instinctively bit down with her fangs, and the sweetness instantly entered her mouth…
But the next moment, Su Jiu could feel the other person’s body trembling. With a “whoosh!”, a cold little hand tightly gripped Su Jiu’s neck, and she could feel the bone-chilling killing intent from the hand.
“Can you just die already! Hooligan!”
Soon, Su Jiu reacted and quickly let go. When she opened her eyes, she saw a face flushed with anger. Those white flower-like eyes contained a hint of tears, as if she had been bullied by some bad boy, looking pitiful.
However, she was already transformed into ancient noble lady attire, with long white sleeves, an exquisite skirt, and snow-white little feet under her waist-high green silk.
“…”
With the cold little hand strangling her, Su Jiu felt truly innocent. She just took a bath and turned into a hooligan. But the other person grabbed her so hard, it seemed like nothing was wrong?
The other person’s true strength seemed to be only at the early stage of Battle General?
The two remained in this stalemate for a while. Su Jiu gently pried off the fingers pinching her neck one by one. As the other person’s almond eyes widened slightly, Su Jiu’s gaze wandered to the bathtub. From beside her little feet, she picked up the wooden hairpin, shook off the water, and said with some helplessness,
“You were resurrected with this, right? I won’t kill you. You take this and leave… As for the flower bud, I’m going to sell this, so don’t even think about taking it.”
“Hooligan! This flower bud was originally my thing, why are you taking it! I only let you keep it temporarily!” Hearing Su Jiu’s words, Bai Zhi suddenly jumped up like a rabbit, snatched the wooden hairpin, and stared at Su Jiu fiercely, saying coldly,
“If you don’t give it to me, I’ll follow you forever!”
Saying that, she grabbed Su Jiu’s hand, clearly meaning: if you don’t give it to me, I won’t leave, I’ll just pester you!
Being stared at by this ancient costume beauty, Su Jiu’s scalp tingled. She felt a bit overwhelmed. If she didn’t get rid of this ancestor, it might be troublesome—she seemed to know that Su Jiu wouldn’t kill her.
In the quiet bathroom, their eyes met. Su Jiu grabbed the other person’s little hand, narrowed her eyes, and decided to go all out. With a “snap,” she snatched the hairpin back. Then, under the other person’s stunned gaze, she gently put her hair up, inserted the wooden hairpin into her hair, stood up, wiped her body, and said faintly, “Since you don’t want to leave, then don’t leave. Stay by my side honestly.”
“Hooligan… Ahhhh! You’re so shameless!”
Hearing this, Bai Zhi was first stunned, then started to flail like a child, scratching Su Jiu with her hands. But one fair hand quietly pressed on her forehead—
Su Jiu held Bai Zhi with one hand and took out the Hanfu box from the slightly sticky storage with the other, and gently put on the Battle King level Hanfu.
“Bite you to death! You shameless, utterly rude… lawless, lustful scoundrel.”
As soon as Su Jiu let go, Bai Zhi’s face was full of wronged expressions. The more she thought about it, the more wronged she felt. Her little tiger teeth were revealed, and she directly bowed down and bit Su Jiu’s ankle. Where was the demeanor of the great demon Fusheng?
“Holy crap, are you a dog?” Su Jiu thought the other party would stop for a while, but she didn’t expect her to be like a smelly kid, biting her foot.
“Wuwu! Bite you to death! Bastard!”
Bending her head slightly, looking at Bai Zhi biting her like a pet cat, Su Jiu then grabbed her by the scruff of her neck like a pet cat, and said with a face full of helplessness, “Let go…”
She was definitely bitten through the skin by this guy! It stung like hell.
“Wuwu… I won’t!” Hearing Su Jiu’s voice, the former great demon looked even more pleased, seemingly proud of her rogue tactics.
After another few minutes of stalemate, a sound rang out, seemingly from Bai Zhi’s abdomen—”Gurgle…”.
With the sound, the great demon Bai Zhi’s mouth inexplicably loosened a bit. A faint blush appeared on her face. She secretly glanced at Su Jiu, as if praying that Su Jiu hadn’t heard.
Looking at her cunning eyes peeking at her, Su Jiu’s mouth twitched, and she then took out a magic crystal slightly coated with energy liquid and dangled it in front of her, saying faintly, “Want some? If you want some, hurry up and let go!”
“Wuwu… mere scraps bestowed upon me!”
Forcing her gaze away from the magic crystal, Bai Zhi’s saliva kept secreting. She seemed to turn her appetite into indignation, biting even harder.
“Hiss…”
Feeling the bite into her flesh, Su Jiu couldn’t help but gasp. A little cold sweat broke out on her cheeks. She leaned down slightly, waved the magic crystal in front of Bai Zhi’s delicate nose, and said fiercely, “If you don’t let go, don’t blame me for throwing you into the sea to feed the fish!”
Whether Su Jiu’s threat worked or the other party was really hungry, the small mouth with faint bloodstains quickly loosened and bit onto Su Jiu’s hand, taking Su Jiu’s entire fist into her mouth.
Feeling the little tongue licking the back of her hand, Su Jiu’s face instantly darkened. You’re addicted to biting, aren’t you? Just as she was about to scold Bai Zhi, she heard other people’s voices from outside the bathroom.
“Classmate Su Jiu, are you done bathing? In another day, we’ll be entering the Great Cuttlefish Sea Area. Our ship needs to enter battle readiness early, and hot water and the like will be stopped.”
Huang Wen’s voice came from outside the glass door shrouded in white mist. She sounded a bit nervous.
