Bai Susu lightly tapped her fingertip, her tone was ghostly,
"But since the ancestor of Songyang dared to risk reincarnation, there actually is a precedent. That precedent is precisely this Divine Son. This person has a significant background, but their true identity is a mystery. Later, for unknown reasons, they fell into the hands of the Emotion Crossing Sect, confined in the cycle of reincarnation unable to escape."
"Then what happened..." Chen Ye listened intently, seeing Bai Susu pause, couldn’t help but urge.
"Then?"
Bai Susu let out a cold laugh, the disgust in her eyes almost overflowing,
"Then it was the most cruel of offerings in this world."
"The Emotion Crossing Sect would exhaust the entire sect’s strength to provide the Divine Son with the finest resources, the highest status. They raised the Divine Son in an isolated crystal pavilion, preventing her from being tainted by mundane worldliness."
"They cultivated the Divine Son to be utterly pure and immaculate, but this was not intended to nurture an heir for the sect."
"What they desired was the purity of this body."
"Only the Divine Soul and body, pure and immaculate, could become the flesh and blood elixir of the Emotion Crossing Sect."
Chen Ye’s scalp tingled.
No wonder the Divine Son’s essential blood became a reward...
This so-called Divine Son truly is a pitiable figure; perhaps a thousand years ago, she was once a renowned person, now imprisoned and transformed into an elixir.
"Given this, Songyang Sect’s so-called reincarnation method has significant flaws... otherwise how would it have fallen to this state? This so-called Divine Son, since she could reincarnate, was perhaps also a Nascent Soul True Monarch in the past."
Chen Ye sighed.
Back then, the ancestor of Songyang should have been aware of the drawbacks, so they set their sights on Qing Jun, attempting to reincarnate into the egg and seize possession while Qing Jun was still just an egg.
He rubbed the fox’s head, feeling the body under his palm subtly trembling.
This fox could undoubtedly understand human speech.
Could it be afraid?
He reassured, "Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, that’s just the Emotion Crossing Sect’s mess, it’s got nothing to do with us. With me here, I’ll surely raise you plump and white, no one will take you for Alchemy."
He’s gotten used to coaxing girls.
Now Chen Ye coaxing a little fox was an easy task!
"Wimper..."
The little white fox buried its head deeper.
It wasn’t afraid, it was just disgusted!
It thought the Refining God Sect was bad enough, but unexpectedly this Emotion Crossing Sect was worse!
However...
Does this bad Human Race actually know how to comfort it??
...
"Alright. The story is finished..."
Bai Susu lost interest in this topic, her amber eyes shifted, finally fixing on Chen Ye’s face.
Suddenly.
The young lady curled her lips playfully, stood tall, and took lotus-like steps towards Chen Ye.
"Chen Ye."
"I think, compared to that unfortunate Divine Son, you seem more concerned about the fox in your arms?"
Chen Ye’s heart skipped a beat.
The cool fragrance wafted over, Bai Susu was already standing less than a foot in front of him.
This proximity, too close.
Close enough he could clearly see the girl’s skin as delicate as jade, and the cunning hidden beneath her long lashes.
The girl’s mischievous thoughts were plainly revealed.
"True Inheritor Bai misunderstood."
Chen Ye forced a smile, instinctively leaning back, while lifting the little white fox in his arms higher, attempting to use it as a shield,
"This little thing is timid, it got scared earlier, it’s only natural I comfort it..."
"Squeak! (I’m not afraid!)"
The fox protested, but to no avail.
"Is that so?"
Bai Susu raised an eyebrow, extending a finger as fair as a green onion, lightly lifting Chen Ye’s chin,
"Then after speaking for so long, I’m a bit parched and yet you didn’t so eagerly pour me a glass of water?"
"Could it be in your eyes, this True Inheritor is worth less than a shedding fox?
!
Chen Ye understood in his heart, Bai Susu was deceiving him with sly intent.
The fox was just her excuse!
He, Chen Ye, was actually being teased by a ball, truly shameful!
Chen Ye’s forehead shed a thin layer of cold sweat, just as he was about to explain.
He saw Bai Susu suddenly lean down, her delicate little face magnifying before him, warm breath spread across the side of his neck:
"Or is it... Grandmaster Chen only dares to discuss mooching off others, yet when facing the real person, he’s just a coward with the heart of a thief?"
Chen Ye: "..."
This girl, she’s playing with fire!
But now they’re still in Lisong Valley, his few disciples are all outside the courtyard...
With righteous fervor he said, "True Inheritor Bai, please have some self-respect! Little White is still here watching, it’s not good to corrupt a child!"
Saying this, he even pretentiously covered the little white fox’s eyes in his arms.
Little White Fox: "???"
What on earth are these two up to?
What does corruption or not corruption have to do with it?
Could they be doing something bad?
Even though the little white fox didn’t understand,
seeing this pair of "lovers" getting closer and closer, the little white fox felt a bit disgusted.
So dilly-dallying, it’s driving the fox crazy!
"So what if I’m watching?"
Bai Susu snorted lightly, not caring at all about the fox’s thoughts.
She grew bolder, placing a hand on the back of Chen Ye’s chair, trying to corner him in this small space.
Unfortunately.
Compared to Chen Ye’s stature, she was too petite.
It looked like a little girl begging an elder for a hug.
"Just a fox, if it dares to look recklessly..."
She glanced at the little white fox, her tone threatening, deliberately trying to scare it,
"I’ll gouge its eyes out."
Who told this fox to squint at her!?
Did it think it was Chen Ye’s apprentice?
The little white fox was startled, quickly covering its eyes tightly with its front paws, even folding its fox ears down to cover them.
I won’t look!
I won’t listen!
Continue as if the fox is dead!
Seeing his only shield also betraying him, Chen Ye was completely helpless.
Looking at the cherry lips close at hand, and the challenging light in the young girl’s eyes.
Chen Ye’s Adam’s apple rolled slightly.
This is you coming to me on your own...
Did this girl really think he was a pushover?
Heh... this naive little ball probably didn’t know what happened to Zhang Chuxi.
And now,
Chen Ye had already mastered the Heart-Burning Technique, he couldn’t even imagine what he’d do later!
Just as he steeled his heart, planning to teach this reckless young lady a lesson.
Suddenly.
A hurried sound of footsteps came from outside the door, followed by Jin’er’s timid voice:
"Master, True Inheritor Bai, the meal, the meal is ready!"
"Senior Sister said if you don’t come out to eat soon, the dishes will get cold!"
Her voice was small and fearful.
Qing Jun’s urging could be faintly heard:
"Junior Sister, don’t be afraid! Senior Sister will protect you! How can this silly master chat with True Inheritor Bai for so long, Qing Jun’s stomach is already empty!"
"But... what if Master is discussing business?" Jin’er was still a bit scared, she didn’t want to anger Master, nor did she want to be abandoned by him.
"Oh dear, dear, don’t worry, Senior Sister guarantees it!" The little girl pledged confidently.
Bai Susu froze, feeling very discouraged, realizing that today’s effort had effectively come to nothing.
Coming neither too early nor too late, but just at this moment!
So aggravating...
She hadn’t bullied Chen Ye in a long time!
Chen Ye felt as if he had been granted amnesty, quickly tidying his collar while loudly responding:
"Coming, coming! Right away! Ah, just in time, I’m quite hungry, Jin’er timed it perfectly with her shout!"
As Master,
He didn’t want to embarrass himself in front of his disciple!
Besides,
The disciples aren’t fools!
If something happened here, even if they didn’t know the truth, they could guess a bit.
Watching Chen Ye’s retreating figure.
The young girl stood in place, dazed for a while. She stared at the empty doorway, grinding her silver teeth in frustration:
"That bastard! Clearly doesn’t want to serve me! Making up excuses..."
"Could it be he doesn’t want the disciples to know, darn it!"
"And why are Zhiwei and the others watching Master so closely? I clearly sent them many gifts..."
Infuriating!
Just a little bit!
Just a little bit more, she could have seen that guy’s panicked look!
"Hmph!"
Bai Susu stomped heavily, huffing as she swung her sleeves and walked out in a huff.
The harder it is to get,
She, Bai Susu, will get it!
Chen Ye doesn’t want to reveal their relationship to the disciples?
Then she’ll find a way to let his disciples see firsthand!
A certain Golden Furred Ball is plotting a scheme that could overthrow Lisong Valley!
