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

Bai Xiaobai's shout successfully drew Gu Lingxi's attention.

As soon as Gu Lingxi turned around, she quickly made her escape.

After glancing at the empty space behind her, Gu Lingxi chased after them in a fit of rage.

Then, his fingertips swiftly formed an ice seal, and the surrounding air suddenly turned frigid. The hazy white mist that could be seen with the naked eye instantly condensed into dozens of ice needles about an inch long, gleaming with a pale blue cold light.

"Bai Xiaobai, you dare to lie to me? You're dead today!"

With a low shout, she thrust her wrist forward, and dozens of ice needles shot out like a torrential rain.

Upon hearing Gu Lingxi's voice, Bai Xiaobai sped up.

At that moment, she didn't care about the road ahead and chose the closest passage to her, preparing to glide across.

However, even though she used her small body to dodge as nimbly as possible, she was clearly no match for the attack of a fifth-level Qi Refining cultivator, and in the end, she was still hit.

With a "splat," the pain of having her skin cut open by a sharp blade almost made Bai Xiaobai curse.

Fortunately, she managed to hide in the passage at the last moment.

At this moment, she disregarded the pain in her body and quickly slid deeper.

As for Gu Lingxi, who was attacking, a triumphant sneer appeared on her lips after she saw the trail of bright red blood left on the ground.

Although she desperately wanted to kill Bai Xiaobai with her own hands, she also knew Bai Xiaobai's identity and couldn't bear the consequences of killing the Spirit Realm princess.

Furthermore, he knew that if he used his own spiritual power to kill Bai Xiaobai, he would not be able to hide it from the sect's investigation.

That's why she activated the ice needles just now, using their power to draw out the sharp blades in the cave.

In the end, it was the sharp blade in the Thousand Treasures Cave that cut through Bai Xiaobai's body, not her Frost Technique.

But what was truly fatal was not the blade, but Bai Xiaobai's body that had been slashed by it.

To be more specific, it is that bloodthirsty longsword inside the cave that is the real deadly thing.

The reason she chose to follow them all the way and appear here is because this is the most suitable place to use someone else's sword to kill the snake.

According to Elder Mu, the longsword that Ling Tian refused should be here.

Moreover, this longsword has a secret that is not known to everyone: it is extremely bloodthirsty.

So Bai Xiaobai, whose body was slashed by a sharp blade, accidentally entered the place where the bloodthirsty longsword was located, and eventually died after having all her blood drained. No one would have guessed that it was she who orchestrated this.

Staring at the passage lined with longswords, Gu Lingxi waved her hand to clear away the traces of spiritual energy she had just released, then turned and left.

Meanwhile, Bai Xiaobai, dragging her injured body, frantically tried to escape into the passage.

After running for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, she stopped, still feeling a sense of lingering fear, only after confirming that Gu Lingxi hadn't caught up.

That was close; the snake almost lost its life.

After temporarily escaping danger, she cautiously surveyed her surroundings, only to discover that there were no magical artifacts or treasures in the place where she was.

Moreover, this place is incredibly spacious, several times wider than the previous passageway.

Only after confirming that there was no one else around did she endure the pain and raise her little tail.

The wound was deep; she almost cut off his tail.

Thinking about how she had almost been killed, she felt a wave of fear.

Although she's a snake who's given up and lying low, she still values ​​her life, okay?

Moreover, during the three years she transmigrated here, she enjoyed protection in the spirit world that could be described as national treasure level.

Not to mention getting injured, they didn't even get a proper meal of thirst or hunger.

But since arriving at the Qingxiao Sect, he has almost died several times in just a few days.

She was filled with regret and even wanted to go straight back to the spirit world.

You said there's nothing wrong with a life of lying flat.

Now look what's happened; forget about cultivating immortality, he almost lost his snake life.

She looked at her bloodied tail and huddled up pitifully.

It was pitch black all around, and in the empty cave, it would be a lie to say I wasn't scared.

But now she dares not go out, in case she runs into Gu Lingxi again, she may not be as lucky as before.

Moreover, she was now completely weak and powerless, probably from the exertion she had exerted while escaping, and with her wounds still bleeding, she didn't want to move at all.

The cave was pitch black, and she didn't dare to go any further, so she decided to rest there for a while.

We'll make plans after we've regained some strength.

She curled up, rested her head on her body, and drifted off to sleep without realizing it.

Just as she fell into a deep sleep, a sneaky figure hovered in mid-air.

It greedily inhaled the faint, sweet scent of blood in the air, and excitedly shook its body.

As if afraid of waking that silvery-white figure, it stopped swaying its body.

In the end, it simply hovered quietly in mid-air, seemingly observing the cluster of silvery-white objects below.

Bai Xiaobai had a dream in which Gu Lingxi was carrying a rusty longsword and kept slashing at her body until she was cut into several pieces. Only then did Gu Lingxi leave laughing.

The dream was so terrifying that she woke up in fright.

Only after confirming that her body was intact did she breathe a sigh of relief.

However, the next moment, she was even more frightened and even cried out in fright.

"Holy crap, where did this broken sword come from?"

This was because a long sword hung straight above her body.

The sword was almost identical to the one in her dream, which shocked her so much that she thought she hadn't been dreaming at all.

But her body was still intact for the time being, so she was sure she had just had a nightmare.

But when exactly did this sword appear?

When she arrived, there was clearly nothing here.

Was she seeing things?

After a brief moment of shock, Bai Xiaobai moved her body slightly.

And the sword that was hovering above her actually moved along with her.

She was completely terrified and dared not move an inch.

Damn it, why does she feel like the sword is mimicking her movements?

She felt uneasy and swallowed nervously.

After hesitating for a long time, she tried to move her body again, this time with a slightly larger range of motion.

However, the suspended sword also moved along with her movements, and the amplitude was even greater than before.

Before entering the Thousand Treasures Cave, Elder Namu said that some magical artifacts and spiritual treasures had developed sentience.

Could it be that I've actually been lucky enough to run into one?

But at that moment, she didn't know whether her luck was good or bad.

But if this sword really has a spirit, does that mean I can try to communicate with it?

Anyway, as long as you don't intend to forcibly brand it, this magical artifact or spirit treasure that has developed sentience should not attack on its own initiative.

Moreover, since I can communicate with spirit beasts and demon beasts, I should be able to try this sword that has developed sentience as well.

Besides, just waiting around isn't a solution; she still needs to find a way to get out.

Having made up her mind, Bai Xiaobai spoke somewhat nervously.

"Hi, my name is Bai Xiaobai. I really wandered in here by accident and I'll be leaving soon, so could you please move away from my head?"
