Chapter 239 Floating Life as a Dream (3k)
Hearing the sound, Su Jiu met the girl’s eyes, her eyelids trembling slightly. This girl, like the blue-haired woman outside, could sense her thoughts.
However, she couldn’t read anything from the other party’s eyes. Her gaze was no different from an ordinary child, but Su Jiu knew…
In this place, she would absolutely not be an ordinary person.
And now, she couldn’t show any hostility, otherwise, if her hostility were detected, she might be in trouble.
“Sister… why aren’t you talking?” The innocent voice echoed in Su Jiu’s mind again, like a half-grown girl asking her sister to buy a lollipop, with a soft and sticky feel like E Huo.
“I’m a bit tired, little sister, can you tell me who you are?” Su Jiu swallowed, sizing up the other party’s strange appearance, and couldn’t help but ask.
Then, her gaze fell on the white flower bud held in the other party’s hand. Her eyes narrowed slightly. This seemed to be the Floating Life Blossom. This girl holding something resembling the Floating Life Blossom…
“Me? I think my name is Bai Zhi? Sister isn’t human either.”
The girl leaned on the glass cover, revealing a faint smile. The canine tooth on her small mouth also showed. Although she didn’t speak, her voice inexplicably reached Su Jiu’s ears.
“It’s so boring, can sister play games with me?”
After saying that, Bai Zhi gently swayed her two tender white feet in the water, making a “lulu” sound of paddling. She seemed to be exceptionally happy now.
Being easily seen as not human, Su Jiu’s heart tightened. She looked around but found no traces of assistants, so she became bolder and then asked, “Okay, but before we play games… can Little Bai Zhi tell me your true identity?”
To Su Jiu, this Bai Zhi now seemed like a blank piece of paper. She was not of the same species as the Floating Life Blossom, which was described as terrifying. Su Jiu wanted to try to pry some information from her before saying anything else.
“True identity? Bai Zhi is Bai Zhi! What true identity?”
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi blinked her eyes, and the white flower seemed to bloom in her eyes. Her small, fairy-like face gently pressed against the glass cover, and the corners of her mouth curved upwards, revealing a smile that did not belong to a child.
“Let’s play games!”
As Bai Zhi’s voice fell, Su Jiu found that everything began to change. The surrounding space showed slight shallow ripples, just like when she entered. The scenery began to transform.
“She definitely has a problem! But why did she suddenly attack me? Doesn’t she need to maintain her energy supply?”
After the scenery stabilized like lake water, Su Jiu nervously scanned her surroundings. It was clearly an ancient battlefield. Looking at the countless dismembered bodies in front of her, some human, some demonic, they all wore ancient armor, and broken weapons were scattered everywhere.
“Is this an illusion? The surroundings have turned into an ancient battlefield.”
Her heart suddenly jolted. She knew that the Floating Life Blossom had strong hallucinogenic effects. While her expression remained tense, she looked at Bai Zhi in front of her again but could no longer find her trace.
Just as she was wondering where she went, Su Jiu’s hand was suddenly held by a warm little hand. She looked up abruptly, and with a crisp voice, she was stunned again.
“This game is very simple – fall in love with me.”
A young girl in white, dressed as a young lady from ancient times, looked at her with a smiling face, with snow-white skin and bright eyes, standing gracefully like a lotus emerging from water. Her black silk hair, tied with a single wooden hairpin, fluttered in the wind.
“What exactly do you want to do!?”
Meeting the other party’s smile, Su Jiu hurriedly withdrew her hand, looked at her with extreme caution, and asked in a low voice.
She wanted to reach for her neck, but there was no sign of Bairnis at all. She wanted to use her avatar, but she had no power left!
Now she was like an ordinary person.
Even the single-lens glasses frame had disappeared! She was actually wearing a scholar’s outfit, a blue robe with a long gown fluttering in the wind.
This was damned strange!
“Don’t you think it’s interesting, sister? To make someone who had murderous intent towards me just moments ago fall in love with me – sister, you don’t have to say you won’t like women, I can feel that what sister craves in her heart is women.”
Completely ignoring Su Jiu’s discomfort, Bai Zhi hugged her arm, revealed a faint smile, leaned close to Su Jiu’s ear, bit her pointed ear gently, licked it, and then let go, exhaling a breath of floral fragrance and smiling.
“Hehe, if you don’t fall in love with me, sister will be trapped in this illusion forever.”
Su Jiu’s ears, which were slightly sensitive to being bitten by the Blood Clan, couldn’t help but blush. She stared intently at the fairy-like profile, then relaxed her expression and said softly, “Little Bai Zhi… In a place full of corpses like this, how can I fall in love with you? Can we change the location?”
She had to find a way to escape. If she was trapped in this illusion forever, and the Priest returned, it would be bad – during the change of illusion, her mental power would be at its weakest, and she might be able to use her scythe then!
Su Jiu could feel that her connection with Bairnis had not been broken! Moreover, this Bai Zhi also seemed unable to use much power. She felt that the other party was only at the Warrior Class.
“What? Sister doesn’t like the place where Bai Zhi died back then? Back then, Bai Zhi also participated in the Otherworldly War with humans, but after being injured on the battlefield, she was relentlessly chased by greedy humans to this place, and her original body had to self-destruct and die.”
She glanced at Su Jiu, gently tapped her ear, seemingly satisfied with its temperature, then Bai Zhi put her hands behind her back and turned around. Her goose-yellow long skirt swayed slightly. Her words clearly treated Su Jiu as a demonic companion.
“Those Ancient God Sect outside, do they think this seat will still believe humans? When this seat successfully Nirvana, I will deal with them all! And a Black-clad Bishop wants to get the shed skin produced by my Nirvana, how laughable!”
“Then can you let go…”
Just as Su Jiu was about to say something else, a slender finger pressed against her lips. “Hush!” Bai Zhi turned around, her fairy-like face slowly approaching Su Jiu’s face, gently cupping Su Jiu’s chin, and said.
“If you want to get out, you have to fall in love with me, otherwise, you will die here – let me see your most primitive desires.”
Her chin was cupped, and Su Jiu could almost feel the hot breath exhaled by the other party. Looking at the little fairy in front of her, her head felt a bit dizzy, and a trace of greed was actually drawn out in her heart. Her pointed fangs unconsciously grew longer.
In a daze, the vampire’s instinct made her instinctively bite towards the other party’s neck…
It was a bit sweet, like nectar, fragrant, mellow, and intoxicating. It tasted completely different from human blood.
“You… how rude!”
Su Jiu suddenly bit her neck, and Bai Zhi’s body stiffened abruptly. A tingling sensation rushed straight to the crown of her head. She gently pushed Su Jiu with her hands, but the voice she spoke with carried a hint of vulnerability – she had truly become an ancient young lady now!
As she was being pushed, the wooden hairpin fell into Su Jiu’s inner lining. The wooden hairpin shimmered with white light, seeming to be a container of some sort.
The two, like peerless beauties, embraced each other in the ancient battlefield, yet there was an inexplicable sense of contrast.
“Ying…”
Not knowing how long Su Jiu had been taking what she wanted, she heard a soft moan. The surrounding environment had changed from the ancient battlefield back to the original scene, and Su Jiu’s clothes had also reverted.
She still maintained her previous posture, as if only a minute or two had passed. What had just happened felt like a dream.
“Miss, are you alright?”
“I’m fine.”
Bairnis’s concerned voice echoed in her heart. Su Jiu slowly opened her eyes, shook her head slightly, and then looked up at the girl in the glass jar. The other party was still sleeping as she was when she first entered, as if nothing had happened.
“Sir, why are you here? If the Professor doesn’t come, I’ll have to use the energy infusion myself.”
Before Su Jiu could make any further moves, a confused voice suddenly rang out.
“Warrior Class?”
She lightly patted her head, and Su Jiu followed the sound to see a young man also wearing a white coat. He was holding a metal compass with dense inscriptions on it.
She glanced at Bai Zhi, who was sleeping inside, then showed the white jade token in her hand to the young man. A crimson glint flashed in her eyes, and she suppressed her voice and said sternly, “This is a token given to me by Patriarch Lin Xiao. Do as I say.”
The young man in the white coat was about to say something, but his mind inexplicably sank. He glanced at the white jade token again, then grinned and said, “Okay!”
She glanced at the youth, and Su Jiu raised her eyebrows, stating calmly, “Stop the energy transportation.”
Although Su Jiu didn’t understand this kind of compass at all, it didn’t prevent her from deliberately causing trouble. As long as the energy couldn’t be supplied to Bai Zhi smoothly, it was highly likely that she could disrupt her Nirvana.
She followed the tubes connected to the glass column all the way to the end and saw a storage tank the size of a gas tank, thinking to herself—
Since Bai Zhi could use this purified Energy Liquid, Bairnis should also be able to use it. So, she lowered her head and asked, “Can you and E Huo use this Energy Liquid?”
This was also why she hadn’t immediately used the mica lightning. If she could eliminate the disaster and also strengthen herself, why not do it?
Hanging around Su Jiu’s neck, Bairnis pondered for a moment, then replied softly, “Although I don’t need energy to advance, if I swallow this special energy, at least it can elevate the combat power of me and that little dragon to the next level…”
“Miss can also swallow this pure energy directly. It’s not the energy of Magic Crystals, but special evolutionary energy similar to Awakening Stones.”
