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

So Bai Xiaobai readily agreed and climbed onto Ye Qinghe's wrist without much hesitation.

The two looked at the little snake with curiosity, its head tilted as it stared at them. This was the first time they had been so close to the little princess of the Spirit Realm who had caused such a stir in the Qingxiao Sect these past few days.

Bai Xiaobai's snake body was barely thicker than a thumb, and only a little over a foot long. Its fine scales, layered upon layered, gleamed softly in the dimly lit cave. Her head was round and small, with vertical pupils of pale, amber gold. Her round, clear snake eyes were innocent and unassuming, devoid of any ferocity.

Thinking of her soft, adorable voice, the two couldn't resist reaching out and patting her little head.

It didn't feel as cold and gloomy as I had imagined; instead, it had a smooth and warm, jade-like feel.

The unexpectedly excellent feel made Ye Qinghe and Qin Wanrou love it so much.

"Wow, Bai Xiaobai, your body feels so comfortable to touch."

Ye Qinghe sighed sincerely, and didn't forget to touch it a few more times.

"Yes, it must be so comfortable to sleep while holding you."

Qin Wanrou also lovingly stroked it with her fingertips.

Forehead......

Bai Xiaobai was surprised that these two were so informal with each other.

And there's always a feeling that I've been taken advantage of.

She really wanted to say that she is actually a person, and that people shouldn't treat her like a pet.

However, considering that they were also beautiful girls, and that Gu Lingxi, like her, disliked affectation, she let them masturbate a few more times.

"Aren't you afraid I'll drag you down with me? I've completely offended Gu Lingxi. Her look just now clearly indicated she wanted to cause trouble. Aren't you afraid she'll drag you down with her if she makes a move?"

Hearing her soft, sweet, and childlike voice, the two felt a surge of tenderness, realizing that the adorable snake was almost too cute.

"Don't worry, even if Gu Lingxi wants to cause trouble, we're not afraid of her. In terms of strength, we're no less than her. We just need to be more careful."

"Anyway, we really dislike her; her affected manner is disgusting. If she dares to play any tricks, Qinghe and I will beat her up. Don't worry, just stay put. If you come across any magical artifacts or spiritual treasures you want, just tell us, and we'll help you find a way."

Bai Xiaobai didn't expect these two to be so nice; it was worth all her efforts to act cute earlier.

However, she can't even refine her inner energy, so how can she really find a suitable magical artifact or spiritual treasure?

Enough, enough, there's no point in thinking about it anymore.

Anyway, I have a whole day to look for it.

Besides, since there are other people with me now, I'm not worried about Gu Lingxi causing trouble.

The two people and the snake continued deeper into the land. During their casual conversation, Bai Xiaobai learned that the two came from the same place and had grown up and cultivated together since childhood.

No wonder they were so in sync when they confronted Gu Lingxi earlier; they're childhood best friends.

It was also through them that Bai Xiaobai learned a lot of information about the Thousand Treasure Cave.

For example, rather than these new disciples choosing magical artifacts and treasures, it would be more accurate to say that these magical artifacts and treasures are choosing their own masters.

Only when a magical artifact or spiritual treasure takes a liking to you can you have your spiritual power imprinted on you.

So this can be considered a two-way journey.

The most powerful magical artifact in this Thousand Treasures Cave is a long sword.

It is said that this sword has existed for a thousand years and was forged by the first sect master of the Qingxiao Sect. It has long since developed its own consciousness.

Moreover, this sword has extremely high standards and looks down on them, the new disciples, making it impossible for them to even get close.

However, some people have been favored by this sword, but for some reason, they eventually chose other magical artifacts and spiritual treasures.

The man's actions enraged the sword, which relentlessly pursued and slashed at him for an entire day.

"So you mean my senior brother once received that sword's approval, but in the end he didn't choose it, instead choosing a sword of a lower grade?"

Seeing Bai Xiaobai's shock, Ye Qinghe nodded gently.

"Yes, no one has seen that longsword since then. However, some say it is in the deepest part of the Thousand Treasures Cave, but its sword aura is so overwhelming that even the elders of the sect would not be able to make it recognize its master, let alone newly initiated disciples."

Bai Xiaobai never expected that a mere sword would be so unique and hold a grudge.

However, the fact that it chose its own senior brother shows that it has good taste.

She was somewhat interested in seeing this longsword that had come to life, but given her abilities, she decided against it.

They walked and talked, and as they went deeper, they saw more and more magical artifacts and spiritual treasures around them.

There were Qingfeng iron swords quietly stuck in the ground, as well as flexible and slender Liuyun soft swords, and thick-bladed broadswords. There were even many exquisite daggers and short axes floating in mid-air.

Now that about half the time has passed, they have almost reached the center of the Thousand Treasures Cave.

Compared to the scattered magical artifacts and spiritual treasures found earlier, there are many more here.

However, none of the three of them have met anyone suitable yet, so they are preparing to continue exploring further.

They hadn't walked far when Ye Qinghe was drawn to a long flute that was entirely tinged with a faint purple.

She released her spiritual power, and the flute that had been quietly floating in the air stirred, as if in response to her.

Ye Qinghe happily circled the flute several times, finally confirming that she had found the most suitable magical artifact.

As she continued to infuse spiritual energy, the branding was soon successful.

After the branding was successful, information about the magical artifact automatically appeared in her mind.

Purple Bamboo Spirit Flute: Playing it can soothe and calm the ferocious nature of demonic beasts, and can also be used to command spirit beasts in battle from a distance, making it most suitable for beast taming.

As a disciple of Yuling Peak, the Purple Bamboo Spirit Flute was a perfect match for Ye Qinghe.

However, the flute seemed a bit mischievous; after successfully recognizing its owner, it floated away on its own.

"Hey, you flute, why aren't you obeying your master's commands? Come back here."

Ye Qinghe had no choice but to chase after her, with Qin Wanrou and Bai Xiaobai following closely behind.

However, the terrain inside Qianbao Cave was complex, and Ye Qinghe soon disappeared from sight.

Left with no other choice, Qin Wanrou had to give up pursuing him.

"Little White, she'll probably turn back the way she came once she catches up. We should also look for suitable magical artifacts and treasures for ourselves. Have you sensed any that suit you?"

Having already spent time together, Ye Qinghe and Qin Wanrou considered Bai Xiaobai as a friend, so they naturally wouldn't call her by her name so formally.

Hearing Qin Wanrou's words, Bai Xiaobai shook her head.

She actually wanted to just grab any sword and go out, but then she thought that since she was already here, she couldn't just give a perfunctory answer.

Besides, even if she wanted to just grab one, the sword itself would have to be willing.

The two continued walking, and after about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Qin Wanrou found a suitable target.

As Baicao Peak primarily focuses on refining elixirs, she set her sights on a palm-sized medicine cauldron.

The cauldron was covered with flame patterns. She had dual spiritual roots, one of which was fire-attribute, which was very compatible with the cauldron.

Therefore, this medicine cauldron is just right for her.
