Chapter 9: Spring Comes, and Everything Is Coming Back to Life
Xia Qingqing cried for a long time before she stopped.
She shrank in the corner, her eyes misty, like a poor kitten scolded.
She was very angry.
Bai Lian scolded her so fiercely, and scolded her twice. From childhood to now, even her father never scolded her!
Didn't you just save me once?
Xia Qingqing's lips moved.
She tried to show the courage as the Tianji sect's disciple countless times to stand up and fight with Bai Lian, but whenever she and Bai Lian looked at each other, she felt that all her strength was drained.
She couldn't.
Really.
As Bai Lian said, how could she resist Bai Lian in such a situation!
Before she even raised her hand, Bai Lian could punch her in the stomach, making her body spasm and twitch, so that she could not exert herself.
Then Bai Lian would step on her with one foot, agan and again, and hold her collar with her hand…
The more she thought, the more she feared.
Xia Qingqing's legs softened, and her ass fell heavily to the ground again.
PA.
She curled up in a ball and didn't even dare to look at Bai Lian again.
"Well, now tell me what happened to you today."
Bai Lian picked up the top-grade magic sword that fell on the ground and handed it to the shivering girl.
As far as she knew, Tianji sect could barely rank among the top sects in the East Divine Land, and there had been several immortals in its history.
Judging from Xia Qingqing's style, she must have had a high position in the Tianji sect. Once the Tianji sect learned that Xia Qingqing was attacked, it would definitely send someone to rescue her.
Red Moon Sect was not even a top force in the Sand Region, let alone compared with the Tianji sect.
But Bai Lian would not relax.
Since Red Moon Sect dared to chase Xia Qingqing, it showed that they had made full mental preparation, but she didn't know the reason behind their confidence.
It might be that they launched an attack before they knew Xia Qingqing's identity. When they realized that they made a mistake, they decided to kill Xia Qingqing and her fellow disciples. This way, the Tianji sect would never know what happened here.
But it was also possible that the forces behind them instructed them to do so.
Xia Qingqing bit her lips and began to tell her story with a face full of grievances.
"This afternoon…"
As Bai Lian expected, this matter had evolved from a small contradiction to what it was now.
The stall owner who was scolded by Xia Qingqing called for help, but those people were easily defeated by Xia Qingqing's Elder Martial Sister.
The bad thing was that instead of killing them, her Elder Martial Sister let those people go.
"In the evening, those people came with the people of Red Moon Sect. They were numerous and powerful. Although my Martial Sister was superior in strength, she was captured by mistake after being poisoned. I escaped from the inn with my younger Martial Brothers, and everyone dispersed in the process of escape."
"Stupid!"
Xia Qingqing's body shook violently.
Stop scolding, I know I was wrong!
[Task completed. Light Skill+2]
Bai Lian looked at the system prompt that just appeared with satisfaction. It was the first time she encountered such a simple task.
Looking at Xia Qingqing shivering, even Su Youwei, who thought she was silly and naive, couldn't help but sympathize.
Probably because she was humiliated by Bai Lian with gobang not long ago!
Bai Lian said, "I scold you for your own good. You are the eldest lady in the Tianji sect, but outside the Tianji sect, others may not recognize you."
"……"
Xia Qingqing dared not refute, because she had experienced it.
Especially with Bai Lian!
It was like treating her as a servant girl who could be called at will.
She could only say, "But now my Martial Sister was caught by those people…"
Bai Lian shook her head, "What's the hurry? As long as you don't get caught by Red Moon Sect, there is a high probability that they won't hurt your Elder Martial Sister."
"Oh."
Xia Qingqing nervously poked around with two index fingers.
She suddenly found that Bai Lian seemed to be right!
If she rushed out foolishly just now, only the Red Moon Sect would be happy to see that!
So Bai Lian saved her life again.
Twice.
But…
Why are you so mean?
Can't you treat me better?
If you tell me in a normal way, I will… probably accept it.
Xia Qingqing felt guilty.
She said, "Thank you."
Bai Lian was going to praise Xia Qingqing for her quick response, and the system task appeared again.
[Task 1, "It seems that you are not stupid!" (Reward: Broken Jade Steel)]
[Task 2, "Thank you? You don't have to thank me. If you don't cause trouble, I have to thank you in turn!" (Reward: Talisman+1)]
"……"
Well, this woman can't be praised!
But is that too hurtful to choose Task 2?
Bai Lian hesitated a little and reprimanded Xia Qingqing according to the requirements of Task 2.
[Task completed. Tailsman +1]
"I…"
Xia Qingqing was even more aggrieved.
But what she didn't notice was that most of her resentment against Bai Lian had disappeared.
"I'll never make trouble for you again."
"That's fine!"
Bai Lian said.
Alas?
Is this a compliment?
The tears in Xia Qingqing's eyes were replaced by another kind of shiny light.
But before she got excited, Bai Lian scolded her again, and she had to sit back again.
Bai Lian asked, "Do you have a way to contact the Tianji sect?"
Xia Qingqing nodded, "I have a Talisman for communication."
"Then contact them first, and we'll talk about other things later."
Xia Qingqing hurriedly did so.
In the process of waiting, Bai Lian heard a noise outside the inn. She leaned over carefully and found that it was a group of cultivators holding spirit dogs.
Those spirit dogs were very similar to the one she killed at Su Youwei's residence.
Those cultivators were about to enter the inn for inquiry and investigation.
"It's a little fast."
Bai Lian estimated that she could kill all those people alone, but it was obviously very difficult not to attract others' attention.
After all, there were spirit dogs.
These spirit dogs were extremely good at screaming.
Bai Lian touched her pocket. Fortunately, she brought Ecstasy.
In the face of the Ecstasy, those who came to search fell down without a sound.
"We can't stay here anymore. Let's change places."
Su Youwei had no problem with that.
If she had a chance, she must severely torture those people.
Xia Qingqing dared not say anything.
When they were about to leave the inn, Bai Lian suddenly came up with an idea she wanted to try.
She set up a small magic circle, threw a spirit dog and a fainted cultivator into it, and then fed some [A Pool of Spring Water] to the spirit dog.
"I've created opportunities for you. Work hard!"
When walking out of the magic circle, Bai Lian seemed to smell the arrival of spring.
