Stop pretending, the seemingly useless junior sister is the real boss.

Bai Xiaobai's shock at this moment was no less than the shock she felt three years ago when she realized she had been transformed into a snake.

Do you know how she got through these three years?

Loneliness and grievances go unspoken, worries and anxieties are left unheard.

For three years, she had been a mute snake, but today she could finally speak.

Of course, she wasn't the only one who was shocked.

Yuanbao excitedly threw down the shovel in his hand. "Junior Sister, you can speak now! That's wonderful! If Senior Brother and Fourth Senior Sister knew, they would be very happy too."

Qin Yuan stroked his chin, his beautiful peach blossom eyes full of smiles. "Congratulations, Junior Sister. It seems that the Spirit Lord made the right decision in sending you to our Qingxiao Sect."

Fengling bent down and gently touched Bai Xiaobai's head with her fingers. "Junior Sister's voice is so sweet and soft. Senior Sister likes it. Master, could it be that those few shakes you made just now opened up the meridians in Junior Sister's body, which is why Junior Sister was able to speak? Why don't you try again? Maybe once Junior Sister's meridians are opened up, she can transform into human form."

As soon as Feng Ling finished speaking, Yuan Bao and Qin Yuan both agreed.

"Senior sister is right. Master, why don't you give it a try?"

Shen Ji raised his palm and carefully examined the small snake curled up in his hand, seemingly seriously considering the suggestions of his disciples.

Still reeling from the shock of finally being able to speak, Bai Xiaobai was startled by the sudden enlargement of four handsome and beautiful faces.

Although she did feel a very comfortable warmth on her body, the dizziness from being held upside down and swayed back and forth, as well as the discomfort of her internal organs and bones almost being shaken apart, made her politely decline their "kindness".

"Thank you for your kindness, senior brothers and sisters. I appreciate it. Master, I really dare not shake it anymore. I don't know if Xiaobai will be able to transform if we keep shaking it, but it's certain that her bones will be shaken apart."

The baby's sweet, childlike voice made everyone stifle their laughter.

Bai Xiaobai was terrified that the previous moment would repeat itself in the next second, so she tightly wrapped her slender snake tail around Shen Ji's wrist, not daring to loosen it even slightly.

Shen Ji smiled and gently tapped her little head with his finger.

"It seems my thousand-year-old elixir wasn't wasted after all. It was originally prepared for your senior brother, but you ended up getting the better deal."

A miraculous medicine that has lasted for a thousand years?

When did he give him the thousand-year-old elixir?

Bai Xiaobai was a little puzzled, tilting her head to think it over carefully.

It seems there were no medicinal herbs in what she ate just now.

Moreover, to be honest, she ate the thousand-year-old elixir like a snack in the spirit world.

If the elixirs were truly helpful for her cultivation, her snake parents would definitely gather all the elixirs in the entire spirit world for her.

And let alone some thousand-year-old elixir, she's even eaten ten-thousand-year-old ones.

But the result is obvious.

It's completely useless.

Therefore, she naturally did not believe what Shen Ji had just said.

Not only did Bai Xiaobai not believe it, but the other three also remained skeptical.

Based on their understanding of their master, given his picky and unrealistic standards, he would never have given a thousand-year-old spiritual herb a second thought, let alone carry it with him.

So the idea of ​​a thousand-year-old elixir is pure nonsense.

Shen Ji glanced at them indifferently. "What? Do you have absolutely no credibility with your master?"

Upon hearing this, the three of them suddenly became very busy.

Fengling pointed at the coal dust on Yuanbao's face and said, "Fifth Junior Brother, your cooking skills have declined a bit. You need to practice more, after all, whether Junior Sister can have enough to eat in the future depends on you."

As Qin Yuan reached out to remove the vegetable leaves stuck to Feng Ling's hair, he sealed away the few remaining foods from the day.

"Junior Sister has a good appetite; no food should be wasted. Second Senior Sister, Yuanbao, we'll probably have to take on more missions in the future, since our Junior Sister really can eat a lot."

Yuanbao held up two fingers and said with a wry smile, "We only have two hundred spirit stones left this month. It's only the middle of the month. Senior brothers and sisters, I really tried my best to save, but..."

The three of them cast mournful glances at Shen Ji, who was about to get up and leave.

Bai Xiaobai tilted his head in confusion, staring at his beautiful master who seemed somewhat uncomfortable.

So the reason why Xiaoyao Peak was so poor was because of this immortal master.

But looking at the bright moon and gentle breeze, could he really be a spendthrift?

However, appearances can be deceiving. Perhaps my beautiful master, who is as gentle as the moon and the breeze, is actually someone who spends money like water.

Otherwise, there's no way to explain the obviously resentful looks in the eyes of the three senior brothers and sisters.

Just then, Senior Brother Ling Tian walked in from outside the door.

Shen Ji finally found an excuse to leave, and he handed the white little white dog in his palm directly to Ling Tian.

"I'm a little sleepy right now. Now that your junior sister can speak, you brothers and sisters should strengthen your bond. As for Xiao Tian, ​​you should wait until after you advance to the Nascent Soul stage; now is not the most suitable time. And Xiao Bai, you'll stay with me from now on."

Ling Tian, ​​puzzled, took Bai Xiaobai and stared at Shen Ji, who was fleeing in disarray, asking, "What's wrong, Master?"

After saying that, he belatedly asked Bai Xiaobai, whose snake tail was already wrapped around his wrist.

"Junior Sister, you can actually talk?"

He was usually aloof and restrained, with no desires in his eyes, but when he learned that Bai Xiaobai could actually speak, the joy in his eyes was obvious.

Goodwill between people can be clearly felt.

Bai Xiaobai naturally liked the senior brothers and sisters of Xiaoyao Peak very much.

Not only because they showed no discrimination or contempt towards their snake junior sister who couldn't transform, but also because they genuinely cared for her like family.

She liked them very much, and by extension, she also came to like the Qingxiao Sect. She even stopped being so resistant to the cultivation of immortality, which she had previously disliked.

So she poked her little head out, tilted her head back, and flicked her tongue. "Wow, Senior Brother is really handsome."

The adorable baby voice instantly melted Ling Tian's heart.

His fingertips gently touched her head, and he said in a tender tone, "That's wonderful, junior sister. You're very pretty too."

Fengling, Qin Yuan, and Yuanbao stared dumbfounded at Ling Tian's "benevolent" expression.

So where did their aloof and taciturn senior brother go?

Why are you deliberately speaking in a hushed tone?

But now that their senior brother is back, they're not so worried anymore.

After all, their senior brother was not only the strongest among the disciples of Xiaoyao Peak, but also their backbone.

As long as the senior brother is there, there's no problem that can't be solved.

Well, from a certain objective point of view, they felt that the senior brother was much more reliable than the master.
