Fairy, help me cultivate.

"Senior sister... if we don't leave now, we might have to spend the rest of our lives in the Demon Suppression Prison on Soul Refining Peak..."

"I know!"

The two returned to their original spot, and Huibai's eyes were red with anxiety...

"Give me another half an hour! Half an hour! I... I can't be defeated by you!"

Her voice was trembling with tears.

Chen Yao rolled her eyes, sat up, and said, "How about I give it a try?"

Hui Bai's eyes welled up with tears as she glanced at him, trying to feign disdain: "You think you can do it?"

Chen Yao ignored her and flew straight southwest on his sword. He memorized the small cloud vortexes he encountered, and after a few turns, the view suddenly opened up.

The blue sky stretches to the horizon, and the landscape unfolds gently, like a splashed ink painting.

"What...you..."

Hui Bai was somewhat incoherent, secretly glancing at Chen Yao, a hint of admiration unconsciously showing in her eyes.

I never expected that this junior brother, whose cultivation level was so low, would have such extraordinary talent in finding the path...

Chen Yao glanced at Hui Bai, whose momentum was waning, and smiled inwardly. The sect's sea of ​​clouds was indeed a large formation, but it shouldn't be so difficult for the sect's disciples to get out.

If she had admitted earlier that she had no sense of direction, the two of them might be almost at their destination by now...

Ling Ning was indeed unreliable; that little brute's worries were right after all...

"Senior sister, stay close to me..."

Chen Yao flew on his sword towards Heyang City, near the Xuan Tie Temple, which was 800 miles away.

Hui Bai was stunned for a moment, feeling a little regretful that she couldn't capture the beautiful scenery before her with ink... She rarely descends from Hanyu Peak...

But knowing that he had a terrible talent for finding his way around, he didn't dare to delay and quickly followed Chen Yao.

"Senior sister, how do you usually go out of the peak to do exorcism missions?"

Chen Yao couldn't help but ask.

Throughout the entire Kuanglu Sect, except for the alchemy room, all the other peaks require exorcism missions.

Hui Bai lowered her head: "I... it was all done for me by Master..."

"Ok?"

Hui Bai looked at Chen Yao sheepishly: "I'm obsessed with calligraphy and talisman drawing. Every time I go down the mountain, I unconsciously immerse myself in the calligraphic and talismanic meanings contained in all things in heaven and earth, to the point that I always forget my duties... My master loves his disciple and can't bear to see me expelled from the mountain for failing to meet the standards of the mission, so..."

Chen Yao's eye twitched. So you're not directionally challenged after all, you're just a bit off-track, so engrossed in calligraphy that you can't see the right path...

Although he didn't know why Ling Ning thought Hui Bai was more reliable than Yun Li, he was still quite happy. After all, this bookworm with a quirky, eccentric mind was easier to fool...

As expected, Hanyu Peak is full of brilliant minds and outstanding talents.

However, Hui Bai has a high talent for talismans. Since she's so easy to fool, there's no rush to get rid of her and go to Xuan Tie Temple. Let's spend a few days with her first and see if we can get a lucky charm.

At the same time, in Yuhua Garden on Hanyu Peak, Ling Ning, who was healing in the spirit pool, suddenly sneezed.

"Wait a minute... Huibai, which disciple is that again?"

She had a vague feeling that she might have remembered the wrong person...

Forget it, since everyone on Hanyu Peak is an outstanding member of the sect, it doesn't matter who I hire...

Thinking about it, she comfortably immersed herself in the spiritual pool, her fair little feet lifting out of the water, her tender toes with gray-blue toenails parting and interlacing, the spring water dripping back onto the surface like dew.

"Hmm~"

Chapter Nineteen: Fish bladders, red ropes, and spiked clubs—playing this brutally?

Half a day later, Chen Yao and Hui Bai fell from the clouds. The kite turned into sparks and shattered. The jade sword flew out from under Chen Yao's feet and shrank, and he put it into his storage bag.

"We're almost at Heyang City. Shall we find a place to stay first?"

Chen Yao felt that staying in a crowded place would make it easier for him to act secretly.

Hui Bai frowned, but once she had figured out the path, she felt confident and put on the aloof senior sister demeanor: "We cultivators can stay in any mountain or river, why bother mortals?"

Chen Yao glanced at her, not intending to argue to avoid arousing suspicion: "Alright, then Senior Sister, where do you think we should stay?"

Hui Bai looked around and pointed with her delicate hand to a lush, tree-lined valley: "That's a good spot."

Chen Yao glanced at the churning, surging dark clouds of rain in the sky, then at the low-lying mountain valley. His eye twitched, but he didn't object: "Okay."

……

……

The sky was filled with purple lightning, which startled the forest. In the blink of an eye, a torrential downpour began.

A thunderous roar erupted from the mountaintop, and a torrent of water surged forth, tearing through the earth and rushing into the valley.

Hui Bai was dumbfounded.

It was definitely the right decision not to go to the peak... Why is even the heavens working against me!

???

She glanced at Chen Yao, who had already slipped away to the side of the ridge to take shelter from the rain, and felt so angry she wanted to cry.

Chen Yao looked at Hui Bai, who was soaked to the bone, and suppressed a laugh: "Senior sister, the flood is coming soon. If you stand there any longer, you might have to take a bath in the mud..."

"what!"

Upon hearing his words, Hui Baihua's face paled. No longer caring about her demure image, she grabbed the wet gauze skirt on her side, revealing two long and perfect legs like beautiful jade, and hopped up the hillside, splashing through the puddles.

A pair of plain white embroidered shoes were covered in mud.

Her white dress clung tightly to her skin, revealing glimpses of her pinkish-white flesh. Her ample bosom drooped heavily, as if filled with water, while her two bright, dark nipples shone even more vividly, tinged with a pinkish blush.

Chen Yao broke off a large leaf and handed it to her to shield her from the rain, thinking to himself, "Your talismans are so powerful, how come you don't even know how to make a water-repelling talisman?"

"It looks like this rain won't stop anytime soon."

"Oh."

The fennel leaves curled up under the leaves, looking somewhat listless.

"Senior sister, you're completely soaked..."

Hui Bai raised her chin and gave Chen Yao a disapproving look: "I know."

"How about we go into the city and find an inn?"

Hui Bai frowned, still trying to maintain her composure as a senior sister, but Chen Yao's next words completely shattered her defenses:

"The inn has hot water for showers and a change of clothes... Ah, of course, Senior Sister said we shouldn't disturb mortals, so let's find a cave, Senior Sister, take off your clothes and let's roast ourselves!"

Let's take...take off our clothes and have a barbecue...

Hui Bai turned her head stiffly, looking at Chen Yao expressionlessly, her little feet in her mud-embroidered shoes already digging into the soles.

How could this person so casually utter such shameless and despicable words?

"Heavy rain is falling. In this urgent situation, we must act quickly and head to Heyang City."

She quickly stood up as if her bottom had been scalded. The heavy rain drenched her, the leaves withered, and her plain white embroidered dress was almost completely soaked through.

Chen Yao blinked as he gazed at her vaguely graceful figure.

Hui Bai stamped her foot and glared: "You...you'd better get up...flying is prohibited near the city's outskirts and disturbs ordinary people. Who knows how long we'll be soaked if we walk there..."

"Senior sister, why don't you just draw a water-repelling talisman?"

"..."

Hui Bai was taken aback. "That's right! How come I didn't think of that!"

She then glanced at Chen Yao, beginning to suspect that he had deliberately wanted to see her humiliated, only pointing it out now...

Ah... has my image as a profound senior sister been completely ruined?!

……

……

Under the protection of the water-repelling talisman, the two easily entered the city.

To avoid looking strange, Huibai dispelled the effects of the talisman at the city gate and walked with Chen Yao along the rows of rooftops, so they were no longer worried about being soaked by the heavy rain.

Although she had a water-repelling talisman, Hui Bai's previously soaked clothes still couldn't dry. At this moment, she curled up, protecting her vital parts, looking pitiful.

Fortunately, there were no pedestrians on the street due to the heavy rain.

Chen Yao sighed, took out a mid-grade magic robe from his storage bag, and draped it over her shoulders.

Hui Bai was startled, then bit her lower lip and tightened it.

Upon arriving at the inn, the innkeeper informed us that all rooms were fully booked due to the heavy rain.

The two searched three or four places before finally managing to book a room.

Hui Bai, wrapped in Chen Yao's clothes, sat on the edge of the bed, looking somewhat listless.

Bang bang.

A knock came at the door, and the waiter brought in a bathtub and hot water. He glanced at the two of them, his face lewd: "Sirs, there are fish bladders in the bedside table. If you don't want to cause any trouble, you can use them... It only costs three coins... If you want to play around, we also have red ropes and spiked clubs..."

!

So this is actually a love hotel...

Before the waiter could finish speaking, Chen Yao, feeling extremely embarrassed, kicked him out.

Hui Bai pulled Chen Yao's robe tighter, her beautiful eyes flashing with wisdom as she looked around: "Junior brother, is this a black market inn? Why are there ropes and spiked clubs? What kind of murder is this?"

Chen Yao chuckled awkwardly, "The waiter is joking. Senior sister, take a bath while the water is still hot!"

"..."

Seeing Hui Bai's frozen expression, Chen Yao asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Hui Bai pursed her lips and said irritably, "You're just going to stare like that?"

Then, Chen Yao was kicked out by Hui Bai.
