At this mont, a light laugh ca from the second floor.
"You keep saying he’s just a re first-grade seeker of cultivation, yet you can’t even break through the Barrier set by a re first-grade seeker. And you still have the face to talk behind his back, truly impressive."
With a gentle wave of her sleeves, she danced like a butterfly, her slender waist twisting, silk ribbons flowing.
The girl’s slender figure descended from the second floor, her waist so thin it could be grasped with one hand, her bright eyes and white teeth as captivating as ever, fresh and unworldly, making everyone’s eyes shine.
Zhao Baixun’s emotions swayed with her graceful walk, but upon further thought, he found himself lowering his status in anticipation of her, repeatedly showing goodwill, yet always facing closed doors over these three days.
But whenever soone spoke ill of that guy behind his back, she would stand up for him.
Thinking of this, the more admiration he felt, the more jealous he beca!
This made his words turn sharp: "The young lady keeps defending that Baili boy, could it be that love is blossoming, and you have improper thoughts towards that boy?"
Tie Yun’s face changed, feeling that his words had gone too far.
A chill appeared in the girl’s eyes, but she soon smiled and said, "Maybe it is so. The boy from Baili is handso and fair-skinned, with a good temperant. Why shouldn’t I have improper thoughts about him?
Hmm... I rember there’s a thod in the world called ’harvesting essence,’ he’s quite to my liking, might as well give it a try."
The girl’s nature was just this stubborn; if you dared to disgust her, she would disgust you a hundred tis more, so much so that you wouldn’t be able to eat for days.
Zhao Baixun trembled with anger, yet she unabashedly admitted it, following his words.
Whether he was angrier or it was more out of truth, hearing it was like a needle piercing his ears.
Tie Yun, standing aside, also flushed red, breathing heavily, clearly also furious at such blasphemous words.
Seeing him like this made the girl feel proud, but before that proud expression could appear on her pretty face, from the room directly behind her...
The door creaked open.
Then ca Baili An’s sowhat hesitant cough.
What the hell?!
He was just honestly practicing alchemy for three days, and just as he stepped out, he heard soone talking about harvesting his essence. It was simply terrifying!
The girl’s movent down the stairs froze, as if her soul had left her, turning pale.
But it wasn’t long before her face turned bright red to the ears, both cheeks flushed, looking rather charming.
Seeing this, Zhao Baixun and others finally breathed a sigh of relief, finding it extrely amusing and realizing this little girl was indeed a paper tiger, formidable on the outside but vulnerable inside.
She turned around, glaring at him in anger and embarrassnt: "Are you trying to die?! Opening the door without a sound!"
Baili An thought to himself that even when looking at his own room’s door, he had to announce it first? What kind of logic was that?
Thinking this way, Baili An saw the fierce expression on the little girl’s face, felt a bit intimidated, and instinctively stepped back two steps, as if seeing a fierce female demon.
This action, in the girl’s eyes, made her stomp her little foot in anger.
Zhao Baixun also couldn’t help but find it amusing, further sensing the girl’s lovable nature, unwilling to see her bullied this way.
He kindly shifted the topic: "You two, co down to the hall first, there’s sothing to discuss."
The girl huffed, descended to the hall, and pulled a small stool, sitting in a corner far from everyone else.
Baili An let out a dry laugh, also walked downstairs, mimicked the girl’s actions, and pulled a stool, sitting in another corner, far from the others.
Zhao Baixun was speechless inside; sitting like this, they had to even raise their voices to discuss matters.
"Kid, you stayed in the room for three days without coming out, and set such a powerful Barrier. What’s your intention?" Tie Yun looked at Baili An with unfriendly eyes.
Baili An awkwardly uttered a few words: "Sleeping, no disturbances."
"You!"
"Alright, now’s not the ti for this." Zhao Baixun interrupted their conversation and said, "Kid, I’m afraid your plan won’t work."
Baili An asked in confusion, "Why do you say that?"
Zhao Baixun stated plainly, "With the pig demon causing trouble, no one in the town dares to marry."
Baili An thought to himself, this situation was indeed troubleso.
But since no one was marrying in the town, why would the pig demon go to great lengths to set up a Barrier?
Could it be that it knew there were cultivators in the town and wanted to trap them inside?
That doesn’t make sense... and it has no aning.
Seeing Baili An lost in thought, Zhao Baixun said impatiently, "Kid, don’t you have any other plans?"
Baili An raised his head and said, "This is simple, as long as we explain the reasons and circumstances to the young couples with marriage arrangents in the town, and assure them that on their wedding day, we’ll surely eliminate the pig demon for them."
Zhao Baixun sneered, "Eliminate the pig demon? Such big words, just with your first-grade cultivation?"
Tie Yun also had a mocking look: "We’ve thought of this too, but the townspeople are really spineless. Even with our assurance, they aren’t willing to risk their lives."
Baili An fell into contemplation, realizing that there was so truth in this. After all, a woman’s reputation is extrely important, and faced with that pig demon, it’s natural not to want to risk everything.
Baili An thought and thought, then his gaze drifted to the girl sitting in the opposite corner.
Feeling his sight, the girl seed to guess sothing, shivered all over, and subconsciously tightened her clothes.
She looked displeased and said: "What are you looking at! I’m only fifteen, I’m not going to marry!"
Zhao Baixun suddenly understood and his eyes lit up.
