Chapter 93: Turns Out Luck Was Always There

Xu Longyun took the External Rejuvenation Pill; it was one thing to have resentment, but that was that!

You have absolutely no reason to have any resentment!

Lin Bai glanced sideways at Jiang Qingqin and smiled: "Alright, the misunderstanding has been cleared up. If there's nothing else, I'll head back first; I won't delay you sisters from catching up."

"Stop right there."

The two female voices said in unison.

One is strong when one has no desires. Looking at the two women who had inexplicably become angry, Lin Bai was very calm: "City Lord, is there anything else? If there's nothing, I'd like to go to the Alchemy Room. I had a flash of inspiration last night and figured out another pill recipe..."

"Explain to me, what kind of martial art requires saying sweet nothings to a girl all night long?" Xu Longyun asked with a dark face.

"Exactly!" Jiang Qingqin said, her face flushed as she gritted her teeth, "You've already pledged your life to Xu Longyun, and now you're saying such things to another girl. Do you know what kind of behavior this is?"

"Words Manifesting into Law." Lin Bai didn't even blink.

"Words Manifesting into Law?" The two women asked in unison again.

"Yes." Lin Bai had an expression of longing. "The sect-protecting divine art of the Righteous Sect. In ten thousand years, no one has ever mastered it. I want to try, and I must tell you, I have not pledged my life to the City Lord."

"..." Jiang Qingqin looked at Xu Longyun strangely.

Xu Longyun nodded helplessly, looking at Lin Bai with annoyance. Not wanting to dwell on the topic of pledging their lives, she pulled the conversation back: "Who told you that Words Manifesting into Law is practiced this way?"

"Naturally, my master." Lin Bai knew Xu Longyun had eavesdropped on the story he used to fool the players that day; what he needed now was to make everything seem reasonable.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Bai said: "My master placed great expectations on me. Therefore, before I left, he passed this divine art to me, hoping I could become the first cultivator in the ten thousand years of the Righteous Sect to master the Words Manifesting into Law divine art and carry forward the Righteous Sect."

Xu Longyun looked at Lin Bai, her expression somewhat strange. It was confirmed; Lin Bai was indeed disliked by his master and thrown out of the sect...

Unknowingly, the anger in her heart quietly vanished, and she even felt some sympathy for Lin Bai.

Because Lin Bai had indeed been doing strange things all along; he wasn't lying, it was his master who had lied to him. The poor guy!

The little white fox's eyes widened involuntarily. It felt like it had heard incredible information. Words Manifesting into Law—this was a divine ability that only peerless experts could master!

"Words Manifesting into Law requires constantly saying sweet nothings?" Jiang Qingqin looked at Lin Bai in astonishment, as if looking at a fool. "Could your master be lying to you?"

"It was wrong of me to use you to practice, but I won't allow you to speak ill of my master." Lin Bai glared at Jiang Qingqin, rebuking her righteously.

"But I still think practicing by saying sweet nothings is a bit strange!" Jiang Qingqin looked at Lin Bai, her anger also disappearing unknowingly, replaced by a full sense of curiosity about Lin Bai. Of course, there was also his black-hearted master behind him—look at how he had pitted the child!

"Not just sweet nothings; occasionally I also scold people, and say some tender words..." Lin Bai glanced at Xu Longyun and said solemnly, "So, if you ever feel I'm speaking abnormally one day, don't be surprised; that must be me practicing..."

Angry?

What is anger?

The best way to coax an angry woman is to divert their attention and make them forget the reason for their anger...

"Have you ever thought of the possibility that your master is really lying to you?" Jiang Qingqin glanced at Xu Longyun and asked tentatively.

"Would you lie to a twenty-something-year-old genius disciple who has already mastered Wind Riding, Palm Thunder, and over a dozen martial arts, just to have him waste his time on useless work?" Lin Bai looked at Jiang Qingqin, his face overflowing with invincible confidence.

"No." Jiang Qingqin thought for a moment and shook her head. Immediately after, she looked at Lin Bai, her face full of shock. "Was that tree split by you using Palm Thunder?"

"Yes." Lin Bai nodded.

"My god." Jiang Qingqin widened her eyes, looking at Lin Bai in disbelief. "Fine, I was narrow-minded. Perhaps your method of practicing Words Manifesting into Law is real..."

"Want to learn? You can practice with me." Lin Bai looked at Jiang Qingqin and smiled.

"I can too?" Jiang Qingqin asked in surprise.

"Anyway, no one has ever mastered it. Although it is a sect-protecting divine art, no one in the Righteous Sect takes it seriously. Having one more person practice it means one more experience of success." Lin Bai said, "If there are any insights, we can also exchange them with each other..."

"Okay." Jiang Qingqin agreed readily and said with great interest, "When you have time, tell me about the practice method. Actually, I also think your practice method is quite interesting."

"Exactly, there's no harm in trying. What if it works!" Lin Bai looked at Jiang Qingqin, whom he had dragged into the water, as if he had found a soulmate.

"..." Xu Longyun looked at the two crazy people, and a trace of bitterness inexplicably welled up in her heart. She coughed and changed the subject: "Lin Bai, where did you catch a fox demon?"

"Fox demon?" Lin Bai was stunned and looked at the little white fox in astonishment. "Are you talking about it?"

"Nonsense." Xu Longyun revealed the bracelet on her wrist, one of the beads shining brightly. "I noticed it the moment I entered the door."

"..." The corners of Lin Bai's mouth twitched. Recalling those things he said to the little fox, his throat felt a bit dry. Damn, what the hell did I do yesterday?

Xu Longyun looked at Lin Bai in surprise: "Its demon aura is so thick it's almost at the point of Form Manifestation; you didn't notice that?"

Where would I notice that?

I've never seen a demon before!

Besides, this guy doesn't have any combat power at all!

Lin Bai swallowed and asked: "Male or female?"

Jiang Qingqin saw Lin Bai's strange expression. Her eyes rolled a few times, and remembering something fun, her eyebrows curved and a smile hung on the corners of her mouth.

"Why don't you ask her?" Xu Longyun sneered and glared at the little white fox. "How much longer do you intend to pretend?"

"Master, I didn't mean to." The little white fox hid in Lin Bai's arms, raising its head in terror, two lines of tears sliding down the corners of its eyes. "Don't kill me, I have always been very obedient!"

A soft and gentle voice.

Lin Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

Alright, it's a female fox demon, not too embarrassing. If it were a male, I would have had to kill the fox to silence it.

When he was saying sweet nothings to Jiang Qingqin, he still held back a bit, but when he was talking to the fox, some things were quite excessive.

Fox demon?

I didn't expect it to actually be what he said. He really caught a Demon Beast; it seems the Qi Luck Value has been working all along...

However.

But why has the backend never received its emotions?

Does the Emotion System not collect the emotions of the Demon Race?

Seeing that Lin Bai really hadn't discovered the fox demon's identity, Xu Longyun shook her head and asked: "How do you plan to deal with it?"

"Why deal with it? Of course, I'll keep raising it." Lin Bai said, "It was hard to catch, I can't just let it go back!"

"Then you must be careful." Xu Longyun glanced at him and sneered, "To be able to cultivate a fox demon that is close to Form Manifestation, there must be a great demon behind it. If you keep its offspring, you will likely be retaliated against. Moreover, I see you haven't used any beast-taming techniques on it; aren't you afraid this little thing will backfire on you while you are practicing?"

"Master, I am very well-behaved, please do not sign a Soul Contract with me." The little white fox grabbed Lin Bai's sleeve, pleading bitterly, "Besides, I am the least valued in my family; no one will come to save me. With your high level of skill, how would I dare to backfire on you..."

Backfire?

Is there any method of beast taming more reliable than the Pet System?

Furthermore, I don't even sleep now, so it would have to have a chance to backfire anyway!

If there is a Great Demon, that would be even better.

It is the perfect time to test if the affinity with the same race brought by the Pet System works; Xiaobai is a fox demon, so its kin must also be fox demons.

Lin Bai originally felt it was a bit of a pity that the Pet System had taken in a fox, but now it had suddenly upgraded to a fox demon.

Then it can really be used as a baby in the future.

A baby bound by the system is a true helper, far more reliable than any big brother or Disciple!

"Xiaobai, don't be afraid. I won't sign a Soul Contract with you. You are a little fox, and I treat you as a pet. Since you are a fox demon, then we are friends." Lin Bai smiled, comforting the panic-stricken little fox, "Follow me, and no one will hurt you. When there is a chance, take me to meet your family so we can formally get to know each other. Although the Righteous Gate is a prestigious sect, it is not so pedantic and treats humans and demons equally..."
