Chapter 259: Bai Daxiaojie's Fresh Blood

"Swish!"

In the evening, in a certain backyard of the Bai Mansion.

A Shitou suddenly flew up from the ground and then smashed into a corner more than ten meters away.

Then, another Shitou flew up.

Luo Zijun stood under the eaves, his gaze fixed on that Shitou; with a movement of his Divine Sense, the Shitou flew out.

Nowadays, after continuous practice, his Object Manipulation Technique could already lift heavy objects weighing over ten kilograms.

However, the drawback was that his Soul Power was consumed too quickly.

Moreover, the speed was very slow.

Even if he threw an embroidery needle, the speed was not much faster than throwing it by hand.

Unless it was a Dharma Artifact that had been specially refined.

This night.

While going to the Diyuan, he once again could not help but ask the Moon Palace Fairy: "Fairy, has the time not arrived yet? When can we go to get the Nether Spirit Fire?"

The Moon Palace Fairy said indifferently: "The time has long passed."

Luo Zijun was stunned upon hearing this and hurriedly asked: "When did the time pass?"

The Moon Palace Fairy said: "Just the night before last, when you didn't come."

Luo Zijun was instantly dumbfounded: "The night before last?"

He immediately became anxious: "Fairy, can we still go get it tonight?"

The Moon Palace Fairy said: "It has already disappeared; we can only wait until next year."

Luo Zijun: "..."

The Moon Palace Fairy, looking as if it had nothing to do with her, walked to the entrance of the Diyuan.

Luo Zijun stood blankly in place, not moving.

Having waited so long, he had actually missed it, and he had to wait until next year to refine the Flying Sword?

The Moon Palace Fairy looked at him and said: "What, do you not want to go down anymore?"

Luo Zijun could not help but say: "Why did the Fairy not tell me in advance?"

The Moon Palace Fairy snorted and said: "I told you half a month ago to be ready at any time, but lately, you haven't been coming at night; are you blaming me?"

Luo Zijun said: "I... I have had things to do recently."

The Moon Palace Fairy said: "So, blame yourself."

Luo Zijun glanced at her, and although his heart was filled with disappointment, he still forced himself to pull it together and walked over.

The Flying Sword could not be refined for the time being, but the cultivation still had to continue.

Throwing a tantrum at this time was very unwise.

Only by going to the Diyuan to cultivate could he quickly advance his soul; only by breaking through the Fen Shen Realm could he completely shake off the White Snake's mission.

"Swish!"

A light shone.

The two were sucked into the Diyuan and landed on the ground.

Luo Zijun followed behind, not saying a word the entire way, looking somewhat dejected.

After walking into the tunnel, the Moon Palace Fairy looked at him and said: "Are you cursing me in your heart?"

Luo Zijun said: "No, how would I dare to curse the Fairy."

"Hmph, hypocritical."

The Moon Palace Fairy snorted and did not speak again.

They exited the tunnel.

The Moon Palace Fairy continued to go hunting, while Luo Zijun continued to go into the cave to cultivate.

The time of one night passed quickly.

When the Moon Palace Fairy returned, Luo Zijun was just finishing his cultivation, savoring the new warm current of Soul Power in his body.

The two walked out of the tunnel, preparing to return to the surface.

While walking across that stone bridge, the Moon Palace Fairy suddenly said: "I will give you one more mission; I need a bottle of Bai Daxiaojie's fresh blood."

As she spoke, she handed him a porcelain bottle and said: "Fill this porcelain bottle; I will give you three days."

Luo Zijun looked at the porcelain bottle in her hand, then looked at her, and almost without any hesitation, refused: "Sorry Fairy, I cannot agree to this mission."

The Moon Palace Fairy looked at him and said: "Once this mission is completed, I will start helping you refine the Flying Sword. In half a month at most, you will be able to get the Flying Sword."

Luo Zijun was stunned upon hearing this and said: "But, haven't the materials not been collected yet?"

The Moon Palace Fairy said indifferently: "Who said they haven't been collected?"

Luo Zijun said: "Didn't the Fairy say that the Nether Spirit Fire disappeared the night before last? We need to wait another year."

The Moon Palace Fairy snorted: "The Nether Spirit Fire did indeed appear the night before last, and it also disappeared the night before last, but did I ever say that I didn't get it?"

Luo Zijun: "..."

The Moon Palace Fairy took back the porcelain bottle in her hand, continued walking forward, and said: "I have already obtained all the materials, and the Flying Sword can be refined at any time; it just depends on whether you are obedient or not."

Luo Zijun's expression shifted, and he followed behind, asking: "May I ask what the Fairy needs Bai Daxiaojie's fresh blood for?"

The Moon Palace Fairy said: "It has nothing to do with you."

Luo Zijun remained silent and did not speak again.

The two arrived at the exit, and the Moon Palace Fairy stopped, turned her head to look at him, and said: "Have you decided?"

Luo Zijun looked up at her and said: "I would rather not have the Flying Sword."

The Moon Palace Fairy said: "Oh? Why is that? Is that Bai Daxiaojie more important than you possessing powerful strength?"

Luo Zijun said, "She is my wife with whom I have formally performed the wedding ceremony."

The Moon Palace Fairy sneered and mocked, "But you already cut her hair and stole her undergarments before."

Luo Zijun said earnestly, "To her, those were of no consequence and did not count as harming her. But for you, Fairy, to ask for her fresh blood now is to harm her, so naturally, I cannot agree."

The Moon Palace Fairy stared at him for a while longer and said, "As you wish. I will give you one day to consider; give me your answer tomorrow night."

Saying this, she activated the formation.

The two of them quickly returned to the surface.

The Moon Palace Fairy did not say another word and left directly.

Luo Zijun stood in the back garden for a while longer before leaping over the courtyard wall and returning to his room.

"Anyway, I have already avenged myself. At worst, I will temporarily go without a Flying Sword, cultivate diligently, and once I break through to the Fen Shen Realm, I will go out and find the materials myself..."

"As for harming Bai Daxiaojie..."

"Not to mention the affinity we had in our past lives, just in this life, when my sister and brother-in-law and I were in our most desperate and helpless moments, it was the Bai Family that took us in, the Bai Family that sheltered us, and they even helped us get our revenge..."

"Therefore, no matter what, I must absolutely not harm Bai Daxiaojie..."

"Moreover, we are still a formal married couple..."

"To betray one's own wife for selfish gain, how is that any different from a beast?"

This matter, he certainly could not do.

Lying on the bed thinking for a while, he closed his eyes.

After a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes again.

"How about I try using my own fresh blood? The hair last time already successfully deceived her..."

"Forget it, who knows what she wants to do with fresh blood..."

He did not think about it anymore and closed his eyes again.

The next day.

He did not go out and cultivated at home.

No one came from the palace either.

At night, he performed Soul Out-of-Body again and went to the back garden.

After a while, the Moon Palace Fairy flew down from the sky and asked, "Have you considered it?"

Luo Zijun said, "Fairy, I am sorry, I refuse."

The Moon Palace Fairy nodded slightly, said nothing more, and walked to the entrance of the Diyuan.

Just as Luo Zijun was about to go over, she said, "What are you doing?"

Luo Zijun stopped his footsteps.

The Moon Palace Fairy said in a flat tone, "If you don't listen to me, the Flying Sword is gone, and don't think about me taking you to the Diyuan to cultivate again in the future."

Luo Zijun remained silent.

The Moon Palace Fairy activated the formation and looked at him, saying, "I want her fresh blood, not to harm her. If you regret it, tomorrow night is the last chance."

Saying this, she threw the porcelain bottle to him.

Luo Zijun subconsciously reached out and caught it in his hand.

"Swish!"

At this moment, the Moon Palace Fairy disappeared, and the ground returned to its original state.

Luo Zijun looked at the porcelain bottle in his hand, was stunned for a while, then looked at that spot on the ground, thought for a moment, walked over, stood in the position where she had just been standing, and tried to release his Soul Power.

However, no abnormality appeared on the ground.

He tried a few more times but had to give up.

Helpless, he could only cultivate on the ground.

Yet after an hour, he gave up.

Having grown accustomed to the rapid cultivation of the Diyuan, he was now completely unable to adapt to cultivating on the surface.

One hour of cultivation on the ground did not even compare to one minute of cultivation in the Diyuan.

What to do?

Flying onto the roof, he looked toward the nearby Luoxue Residence.

At this moment, a petite figure suddenly came out of the room, went to the backyard, and then squatted down in the flower bushes.

In the dark night, the vision of the soul was unobstructed.

It was Bai Bai.

After Bai Bai finished urinating, she did not stand up immediately but was lowering her head to wipe something.

Another moment passed.

She then stood up, a pained expression appearing on her face, and then she went into the room somewhat weakly.

Luo Zijun's gaze looked toward that patch of flower bushes.

There was fresh blood inside.

"Bai Bai's period has come."

He thought to himself in his heart.

At this very moment, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

But he immediately rejected it again.

Returning to his room, his soul returned to his body, and he lay on the bed, letting his mind wander for a long time.

"No..."

"Why not? Making use of waste, and it won't harm Daxiaojie..."

"How filthy, how perverted..."

"What are you afraid of? No one else knows anyway."

"But..."

"Luo Zijun, oh Luo Zijun, do you really think you are a gentleman? For the sake of cultivation, to get rid of the White Snake mission as soon as possible, and to gain freedom as soon as possible, you don't even dare to do this little thing?"

"I... I really don't dare..."

"Trash!"

There were two little people in his mind, fighting each other, and they had been at it for a long time.

Seeing that it was almost dawn, he immediately performed Soul Out-of-Body, went to the back garden, and waited at the exit.

After another while.

The Moon Palace fairy emerged from the Diyuan, and after seeing him, she said in a flat tone: "Why, do you regret it?"

Luo Zijun struggled in his heart for a while longer, then said: "Fairy, must it really be like this?"

The Moon Palace fairy said: "Of course."

Luo Zijun had no choice but to say: "Then... could you give me one month?"

"One month?"

The Moon Palace fairy snorted coldly and said: "It is just a bottle of fresh blood, does it really take that long?"

Luo Zijun said: "It does."

The Moon Palace fairy's eyes flickered, and after staring at him for a while, she said: "Fine, then I will give you one month. If you cannot produce it by then, you don't need to come see me again. Also, if you try to deceive me like last time and use someone else's blood, hmph, you will die a miserable death."

Luo Zijun: "..."

So she had known all along that what he had brought before was not Bai Daxiaojie's hair.

The Moon Palace fairy finished speaking coldly, then flew into the night sky and left.

Luo Zijun stood in place for a while longer before returning to his room, feeling secretly distressed in his heart.

He had originally wanted to try using his own blood.

Now it seemed that would not work.

His soul returned to his body, and he did not feel the slightest bit sleepy.

After dawn.

He got up, finished washing, and went to the backyard to cultivate.

Near noon, he asked Xiaohuan to get some brown sugar, then took some supplements from his Storage Bag, threw them into a pot, personally boiled some brown sugar water, and then asked Ziyuan to go next door and call Bai Bai over.

When Bai Bai came over, she said happily: "Brother Zijun, did you buy me a sugar figurine?"

Qingqing naturally followed, holding her sword.

Luo Zijun let Bai Bai into the kitchen, and everyone else was shut outside the door.

Bai Bai smelled the sweet brown sugar water in the pot, swallowed her saliva, and asked: "Brother Zijun, what is this?"

Luo Zijun diligently served her a bowl, handed it to her, and said: "Brown sugar medicinal water; after you drink it, your stomach won't hurt anymore."

As soon as these words were spoken, Bai Bai widened her eyes: "Brother Zijun, how did you know my stomach hurts?"

Luo Zijun "coughed" and leaned into her ear, whispering: "My nose is very sharp; I smelled the scent on you."

Bai Bai was stunned for a moment, then reacted, her face instantly flushing with shyness as she said: "Brother Zijun... you... you are bad..."

Luo Zijun said with a straight face: "What of it? Have you forgotten? Your Brother Zijun is not only a scholar but also a doctor. I have seen plenty of these things with young girls. I only care about you, which is why I specifically boiled this brown sugar medicinal water for you; others wouldn't get to drink it even if they wanted to. Look at Xiaohuan, Ziyuan, and Fenfen, they don't have any to drink."

Upon hearing this, Bai Bai was filled with joy and sweetness; she hurriedly took the bowl and said shyly: "Thank you, Brother Zijun."

"We are family, why say thanks? Be careful, it's hot."

Luo Zijun blew on it for her and said: "Drink."

Bai Bai was moved, hurriedly lowered her head to take a sip, then narrowed her eyes happily and said: "Brother Zijun, it's so sweet..."

Luo Zijun smiled slightly and said: "I boiled it, so naturally it's sweet."

Bai Bai continued to lower her head and drink, looking as if she were reluctant to finish it all at once, sticking out her little tongue and licking it bit by bit, like a cat drinking water.

Luo Zijun glanced out the window, then leaned close to her ear and whispered: "By the way, Bai Bai, Qingqing, Fenfen, and Daxiaojie, do you know the specific dates of their periods?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Bai looked at him with wide eyes.

Luo Zijun kept a gentle smile on his face and said: "You know, your Brother Zijun is a doctor. Qingqing and Fenfen are your good sisters, and Daxiaojie is your young lady. I care about you, so naturally I want to help them too. If you tell me the dates, I will go get the medicine in advance, and after I boil it, you can say you secretly boiled it for them; they will definitely be very happy."

Bai Bai's eyes lit up; she blinked her large eyes, thought carefully for a moment, and said: "Qingqing is two days later than me, Sister Fenfen... is later than me... it seems to be seven days, as for Young Lady..."

She stretched out her fingers, counted them very seriously, was stunned for a long while, then suddenly slapped her forehead and said: "Right, Young Lady is on the same day as me; it started yesterday."

"..."

Luo Zijun suddenly felt a surge of excitement in his heart, but immediately felt that this excitement was too lecherous.

He really was not that kind of person.

But...

"Bai Bai, Brother Zijun has a very, very important thing that I need you to do..."

He coaxed her softly.

Who knew that before he could finish, Bai Bai immediately said: "Bai Bai refuses!"

Then she pouted her little mouth and hummed very dissatisfiedly: "Last time Brother Zijun promised to reward me and Qingqing, but that night you went to play with Sister Fenfen... Hmph!"

Luo Zijun: "..."

"Bai Bai, this time for sure, Brother Zijun swears! As long as you help Brother Zijun complete the mission, Brother Zijun will definitely fulfill your wish and will never break his word. If I go back on my word, may I be struck by lightning!"

This time, he was truly not prepared to deceive this girl again.

Bai Bai thought for a moment and said: "I want to be with Qingqing!"

Luo Zijun's mouth twitched, and he had no choice but to say: "Fine, I promise you."

Fine, let's go together then, who's afraid of whom!

"If Brother Zijun deceives me again, hmph, I will tell the Young Miss all of Brother Zijun's secrets, including what happened today, and I will also go tell the Master and the Mistress, hmph hmph!"

Uh... this threat is truly ruthless!
