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

Bai Xiaobai was completely unaware of the strange occurrence happening to her, and even Ling Tian and Yuanbao were completely oblivious.

The Long Spirit Sword seemed to sense something and flew over with some confusion.

It circled around Bai Xiaobai several times, seemingly trying to ascertain something.

Bai Xiaobai was puzzled. What was this broken sword, which had been bothering his senior brother, doing here now?

"What? You've finally remembered that I, the snake, am your master?"

The child's voice, clearly tinged with dissatisfaction, made Changling chuckle repeatedly.

"Little guy, are you jealous? But as for your master, your master is right, you are not qualified at all right now. Besides, I do have my eye on your senior brother. The reason I temporarily acknowledge you as my master is just to take this opportunity to see him."

Ah, just as I expected.

I was already angry, and now I'm even angrier.

Bai Xiaobai: "You worthless sword, stop thinking about my senior brother. Don't bother him anymore. If you dare to keep bothering him, I'll throw you back into the Thousand Treasure Cave and let you continue to rust there."

Changling turned the sword tip around and brought the rusty blade closer to Bai Xiaobai.

"Little guy, could it be that you're also eyeing your senior brother? But with your bean sprout-like figure, you should probably cultivate for a few hundred more years before thinking about it. Your senior brother only likes guys like me who have good figures and are good-looking."

Bai Xiaobai is furious.

"Who are you calling a bean sprout? This snake hasn't grown up yet. When I do, I'll be a thousand times better looking than you."

Ling Tian wished he could just throw this bastard sword, which was spouting nonsense, out of Xiaoyao Peak.

"Master, why don't we send it back to the Thousand Treasure Cave? If it stays with Junior Sister, it'll only lead her astray."

Shen Ji smiled but remained silent, his gaze fixed on Chang Ling.

Being stared at like that by Shen Ji, Chang Ling had the illusion that he was being seen through.

It always felt that the gentle and handsome man in front of it seemed to be able to see its own human form.

However, this person's strength was only at the late Nascent Soul stage, not even reaching the Divine Transformation stage.

Currently, in the entire Qingxiao Sect, apart from those few old fogies, only this little snake with whom he formed a soul contract can see his human form.

But this white-haired handsome man, it always felt that this person's strength was unfathomable, and it could only sense that he was at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

However, as Shen Ji's gaze fell on Bai Xiaobai again, Chang Ling gave up her previous idea.

"Ling Tian, ​​since Chang Ling likes to stay by your side, why don't she follow you for the time being?"

Shen Ji's words immediately stunned Ling Tian and Yuan Bao.

As for Bai Xiaobai, it doesn't matter anymore.

Anyway, she's just a snake; she can't possibly carry around a broken sword like that.

Although the sword can fly on its own, she still knows where the sword's mind is.

With her abilities, she couldn't control it at all.

Ling Tian frowned in annoyance, glancing disdainfully at the long spirit sword that was clinging to his arm again.

His tone was somewhat helpless: "But Master, I have to go to the Hall of Affairs every day. Isn't it inconvenient to carry it with me?"

Yuanbao nodded in agreement.

"Yes, Master, and it's so dilapidated, isn't it a bit... awkward for it to be with Senior Brother?"

Yuanbao didn't dare to say the last few words because Changling's sword tip was already pointed at his throat.

Yuanbao was so frightened that he swallowed hard.

Only then did he belatedly realize that although the sword was broken, it was the infamous Heavenly Calamity.

He's truly delusional to say that those who kill gods will face natural disasters.

Shen Ji stood up, gently patted the non-existent creases on his robe, then used his slender fingers to push aside the sword tip that Chang Ling was aiming at Yuan Bao, and then used his spiritual power to lift up Bai Xiaobai's body.

"For the time being, let it stay with you. Please bear with any inconveniences. Also, please prepare plenty of ingredients, enough for about half a year. If you need anything, just go to Li Qingshan. Your junior sister's appetite might be quite good in the coming days."

"Chang Ling, you'd better not speak outside of Xiaoyao Peak, lest you frighten others."

"I'm taking your junior sister to Yuling Peak. You all go about your business."

Shen Ji's words left Ling Tian and Yuan Bao somewhat confused.

Even Bai Xiaobai was somewhat confused.

So why go to Yuling Peak?

He also said that he would have a good appetite in the coming days. What is he going to do?

Ling Tian frowned and pondered for a while, then quickly realized what Shen Ji was going to do.

He nodded, his furrowed brows relaxing, but at the same time, he looked somewhat worried.

"But Master, is Junior Sister really capable? She can't yet successfully guide Qi into her body; wouldn't that be too dangerous?"

Shen Ji patted Ling Tian on the shoulder approvingly.

As expected of a trusted confidant, his mind works very quickly.

Yuanbao and Bai Xiaobai looked completely bewildered, utterly clueless as to what riddle their master and senior brother were playing.

Bai Xiaobai finally couldn't help but ask.

"So, Master, what are we going to do at Yu Ling Peak? Are we going to catch piglets to make braised pork for Xiao Bai?"

As soon as Bai Xiaobai finished speaking, he received an approving look from Shen Ji, who thought, "This child is teachable."

"That's one way to understand it, but you're the one going to catch them, not us. And you're not just going to catch piglets, you could also catch wolf cubs, tiger cubs, or even bear cubs."

Yuanbao finally understood the riddle between his master and senior brother.

"Master, do you mean to send Junior Sister to the Demon Beast Forest of Yu Ling Peak?"

Yuanbao's words made Bai Xiaobai realize that something was very wrong.

What a joke! With her tiny frame, barely a foot long, she wouldn't even make a single dish.

Sending her to catch monsters is like giving them free food, and not even enough to fill their teeth.

She was adamant, absolutely determined not to go.

Just as she shook her head out of focus, Shen Ji reached out his long, slender fingers and pressed down on her head.

"Stop swaying, save your energy. When you get to Yuling Peak later, do your best and don't embarrass your master."

A soft, sweet voice, clearly filled with panic, came through.

"Master, maybe we should just forget about it. Little Bai shouldn't go and die."

Shen Ji's smile was still as warm and inviting as ever.

"Don't worry, they're just first or second-tier demonic beasts. I believe you can survive."

Bai Xiaobai looked at Ling Tian and Yuanbao for help, but they avoided her gaze, looking at the sky and the ground but not at her.

She then asked Changling for help, but all she got was the red-clad sword spirit staring at her senior brother's back like a lovesick fool.

Okay, she's exhausted!

In the end, she could only let Shen Ji take her to Yu Ling Peak.

The cultivation levels are as follows: Qi Refining Realm, Foundation Establishment Realm, Golden Core Realm, Nascent Soul Realm, Deity Transformation Realm, Void Refining Realm, Body Integration Realm, Mahayana Realm, and Tribulation Transcending Realm. The Qi Refining Realm is further divided into twelve levels. After Foundation Establishment, each major realm is further divided into: Early Stage, Middle Stage, Late Stage, and Perfect Stage.

[The strength levels of spirit beasts are divided into nine tiers: Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3, Tier 4, Tier 5, Tier 6, Tier 7, Tier 8, and Tier 9, which correspond to the strength levels of cultivators.]

[The strength levels of demonic beasts are divided into four tiers: Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3, and Tier 4. Demonic beasts are inherently ferocious and numerous. They have a strong killing instinct and will launch large-scale attacks on mortal towns and villages. They have an extremely strong sense of territory and cultivate by devouring flesh and blood and plundering spiritual energy; their core is the demonic core. The strongest demonic beast can cultivate up to Tier 4. Most spirit beasts cultivate by killing demonic beasts to obtain demonic cores, and cultivators also improve their strength by hunting demonic beasts to obtain demonic cores.]
