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

After returning to Xiaoyao Peak, Ling Tian took Feng Ling and Qin Yuan to the Hall of Affairs to receive a mission, while Yuan Bao also went to Yu Ling Peak.

Fourth Senior Sister Mu Wan is currently in seclusion and will likely not be seen for some time.

So only Shen Ji and Bai Xiaobai remained on Xiaoyao Peak.

Back in the room, Shen Ji reached out and flicked Bai Xiaobai's head with his finger, smiling gently.

"Still pretending to be asleep? Tell your master why you want that spirit-testing stone. You know it's a treasure of the sect. Even if I asked for it, the sect leader wouldn't give it to you. The sect leader's biggest concession is that you're allowed to cultivate at the spirit-testing stone every seven days. There's not much chance of bringing it back to Xiaoyao Peak."

Bai Xiaobai then opened her eyes somewhat guiltily, meeting Shen Ji's gentle and clear gaze, but she didn't intend to hide anything.

"It's like this, Master. When I approached the spirit-testing stone, I suddenly felt a very familiar aura. After fully touching the spirit-testing stone, I found that a rich spiritual energy was gathering in my body, and this spiritual energy could stay in my body. So I guessed that this spirit-testing stone could really allow me to draw qi into my body, which is why I sent you this message."

After listening to Bai Xiaobai's childish explanation, Shen Ji nodded.

"I see. So the spirit-testing stone can help you cultivate. However, you absorbed a lot of spiritual energy today, so it's not suitable for you to absorb a lot of spiritual energy for cultivation for the time being. You should focus on recuperating for the next seven days."

"Furthermore, the disciples of Xiaoyao Peak cannot be bullied by others. This time your senior brother stood up for you, but next time you encounter something like this, you have to fight back yourself. The disciples of Xiaoyao Peak cannot suffer losses."

Bai Xiaobai nodded cutely.

This Xiaoyao Peak was indeed to her liking.

They're the kind of people who won't suffer any loss.

But she's so useless now, and she'd better not get trampled underfoot if she fights back. Her master thinks too highly of her.

However, it seems that the feud between Gu Lingxi and himself has been completely severed.

But if you can't beat them, you're also poisoned.

If she dares to talk back to me again, I'll give her some poison too.

With her sect protecting her, what was she afraid of?

Seeing her obedient appearance with her head tilted, Shen Ji was genuinely curious about what she would look like in human form.

After a moment's thought, two books appeared out of thin air in his hand.

"I have two cultivation techniques here that are suitable for your demon race. Study them carefully recently, they will benefit your cultivation. Although you have mixed spiritual roots, it doesn't necessarily mean you can't transform into human form."

Bai Xiaobai continued to nod obediently.

Then it gently curls the book up with its tail, but the contents inside...

This...this...is this a cultivation technique?

She expressed serious doubts.

Then, somewhat uncertainly, he asked Shen Ji, who was already yawning all over the place.

"But Master, why are the tails of these two snakes intertwined? And why are they naked? What kind of cultivation technique is this?"

Faced with Bai Xiaobai's "doubt", Shen Ji curiously tilted his head.

However, at just one glance, his jade-like, handsome face flushed a light pink, and his ears turned completely red, yet he still tried to maintain his composure.

He swallowed hard, then with a flick of his wrist, the two books vanished instantly.

Then two more books appeared in his hands. After confirming that they were correct, he placed them in front of Bai Xiaobai.

His tone also became somewhat awkward.

"Just now... those two books were comic books about the mortal world that your third senior brother gave to me. I took the wrong ones. These two are the cultivation manuals. You... look at these two."

After listening to Shen Ji's somewhat flustered explanation, Bai Xiaobai finally understood and exclaimed "Oh!"

But how could she not understand?

How do you think she spent those three years?

I've read at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, sketchbooks.

However, what she didn't expect was that her master, who was known for his bright moon and gentle breeze, would also read such picture books, which was indeed hard to imagine.

But Master is so handsome, doesn't he have one or two Daoist partners?

Shen Ji cursed Qin Yuan in his heart for being such a traitorous disciple, always doing things that made his master look bad.

Last time he proudly presented me with some books, saying they were for entertainment, but who knew what he actually gave me was...

He was feeling sleepy just now, so he accidentally grabbed the wrong one.

How will the little guy feel about his master?

She said her master was a lecher?

It's so embarrassing, so incredibly embarrassing.

Bai Xiaobai glanced at his bright red ears, blinked, and felt a surge of mischief.

"Master, these two books you gave me are too boring. The pictures in the previous two books are not as interesting. Why don't you let me study those two books instead? I think those two books are more interesting."

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, she noticed that Shen Ji's face turned even redder, as if he were drunk.

Seeing the curious little snake tilting its head back, Shen Ji suddenly felt an urge to grab Qin Yuan and give him a good beating.

But the more you explain, the less clear it becomes, so it's better not to explain at all. Besides, the little snake probably doesn't understand these things yet.

So after a brief exchange of glances, Shen Ji picked up the little snake and placed it, along with the book, on a low wooden table beside him.

After leaving behind the words "I'm sleepy," she reclined on the large, soft couch in the standard pose of a beautiful woman lying on a couch.

Bai Xiaobai chuckled inwardly.

Unexpectedly, my beautiful master is actually a pure and innocent handsome man, and he's easily teased.

However, he slept on a soft couch but gave himself a hard wooden table and made him study there.

Isn't this going a bit too far?

You said that after she arrived at Qingxiao Sect, she first sneaked into Lingxiao Peak at night, and then went through that ordeal at the new disciple initiation ceremony. She must be incredibly sleepy right now.

Besides, wouldn't making a poor student like her read all this dense text be more effective than a lullaby?

Even when the beautiful master is sleeping, she is still very pleasing to the eye, no wonder she is called "Sleeping Beauty".

But I'm so sleepy, I'd better go to sleep first. As for cultivating my skills, I'll think about that after I wake up.

She curled up into a ball and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

After she fell into a deep sleep, Shen Ji slowly opened his eyes.

His gaze narrowed slightly as he stared at the small, coiled ball.

There seems to be some mystery surrounding this little guy.

For example, that terrifying devouring power, although we managed to fool it today with the special techniques of the demon race, it probably won't last long.

But if it really is a spatial attribute, how do you explain her mixed spiritual roots?

Furthermore, she could actually communicate with me using divine sense. Without a cultivation level of at least Nascent Soul, it would be impossible to do that, right?

So this little guy has quite a few secrets.

He glanced at the hard wooden table, then at his own soft couch, and finally couldn't bear it.

I reached out and pulled him over anyway.
