Book 11: Chapter 7 (2)
Book 11: Chapter 7 (2)
They no longer have any "use" value.
"It\'s too dangerous."
Bai Lian fetched the few books out again.
Typically, the circulation of this type of book is quite small, after all, they were written by mortals in their spare time.
With the strength of an ordinary person, it would take ten or even a hundred years to go far, and it is as difficult as climbing into heaven to make these books on such a niche topic known.
But Bai Lian is not daring to gamble.
If any of the cultivators purchased these books like she did, and then shared them with other enthusiasts…
Well.
So it is possible that Ying Shi will find one of the books someday and somewhere in the future.
Although she could insist that Ying Shi was slandering her, it was too bad.
Bai Lian doesn\'t think of herself as a good person, but she is by no means someone of depraved moral character.
She was angry when she thought of it.
"The person who made this system is probably a big jerk, saying I have no morals? That\'s hilarious!"
Decided.
Anyway, Bai Lian is free now. She planned to write biographies based on the titles of the three books she had.
After writing these books, secretly distribute them.
Even if Ying Shi found the truth, she could say that she took the wrong books.
She would say this at that time with a straight face, "It\'s just a coincidence!"
"I\'m really a genius!"
Bai Lian snickered.
Wonderful!
This plan is just about as perfect as it gets.
Bai Lian sat down in front of the dressing table.
She decided to start working right away.
It was near noon now, and there was still heavy rain and strong wind outside the window.
Just as Bai Lian grasped the pen, she saw the fifth Martial Sister running happily past the window.
"Ah ah ah…"
The little girl didn\'t have an umbrella and her cheeks were covered with rain water, but it could not cover her smiling face.
"…"
A moment later.
Before Bai Lian lowered her head, the fifth Martial Sister ran back from another direction.
"Ah ah ah…"
She looked wetter.
"…"
Clap.
Bai Lian gently put down the pen.
She frowned, not because it was too noisy, but because she thought it was not safe for the Fifth Martial Sister to be playing in the rain.
What if she catches a cold?
All right.
The fifth Martial Sister\'s physical condition is so good that under normal circumstances, she is impossible to catch a cold.
But… what if she slipped and fell down the cliff?
She can\'t sit back and ignore this!
Bai Lian got up and walked out of the room.
She held up her umbrella.
Although she was hurt, she didn\'t need an umbrella at all.
She did so only because she wanted to set a good example for the fifth Martial Sister.
She is the Elder Martial Sister and she doesn\'t want to leave a domineering and unreasonable impression on the fifth Martial Sister.
In the backyard, beside the crooked neck tree.
As soon as Bai Lian stopped, she saw the fifth Martial Sister running towards her quickly.
"Elder Martial Sister!"
(Translated by Gravity Tales ??)
When she saw Bai Lian, the fifth Martial Sister immediately stopped.
The rainwater trickled down her brow, not knowing if it was reflecting off the rainwater or her eyes were just naturally bright.
Bai Lian took two steps forward.
The umbrella tilted forward, covering the top of The Fifth Martial Sister\'s head.
In the moment that rainwater was separated, the whole world quieted down.
Ling Xuan and Bai Lian looked at each other.
It\'s a little difficult.
Because the rainwater kept mischievously running into her eyes, and her sleeves were wet too, no matter how hard she rubbed, they wouldn\'t dry.
"Let me do it."
Bai Lian took out a towel from her chest and tenderly wiped the fifth Martial Sister\'s hair.
Ling Xuan gradually lowered her head.
She expected Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian to scold her for playing in the rain, since her grandpa would not only scold but also beat her when she did that before.
"Sorry, Elder Martial Sister, I shouldn\'t have run out to play in the rain."
Ling Xuan sniffed her nose.
Bai Lian seemed to have not heard her apology, and asked "Where is the jade rabbit?"
Ling Xuan immediately explained, "Elder Martial Sister, this is not related to Elder Martial Sister Jade Rabbit, she also has her own things to do, she can\'t always stay with me to cultivate."
Bai Lian gently shook her head, "I didn\'t mean to blame the jade rabbit."
She still carefully wiped the fifth Martial Sister\'s cheeks.
When Ling Xuan heard these words, she immediately felt at ease.
This is her fault alone and she alone should be punished; she cannot implicate her innocent Elder Martial Sister Jade Rabbit.
Thinking of this.
Ling Xuan turned around so her bum was facing Bai Lian.
"Elder Martial Sister, hit me please."
Her voice quivered, still with a hint of fear.
"Gently… gently…"
Bai Lian stared wide-eyed at the shriveled body.
Although she was a bit small, she could faintly make out the shadow of the Martial Arts God in the game.
Familiar hairstyle.
Familiar clothing.
Familiar expression.
In the game "The Battle of the Gods", the fifth Martial Sister joined the Qiongming Peak at the age of a young girl.
Now she is still just a little girl, two months away from turning eleven.
In another world, most children of this age are still feeling the warmth of the world in school.
Bai Lian\'s eyes softened even more.
She stopped what she was doing and suddenly said, "Isn\'t it boring being alone?"
Ling Xuan hesitated for a while before nodding, "Mmm."
As her faint voice came out, Bai Lian gently embraced her with her empty right hand.
"Elder Martial Sister, you will get your clothes wet."
Ling Xuan struggled for a bit, but she couldn\'t escape Bai Lian\'s bounds at all.
Until the words "I\'m sorry" suddenly entered her ears, she completely stopped struggling.
She slowly raised her head, and what greeted her was Bai Lian\'s face, which looked slightly hazy.
Bai Lian said, "I was the one who forcibly brought you to the Duxian sect, but I completely ignored you. If I could have spared more time to spend with you, you wouldn\'t be so bored."
"Elder Martial Sister…"
Ling Xuan felt the corners of her eyes getting hot, and her already blurred vision became even less clear.
"Elder Martial Sister, I don\'t want to disturb your cultivation," she said.
Bai Lian gave a faint smile on her face, "How could this be? You know, I am a reincarnated Immortal Emperor, it is easy for me to raise my cultivation base."
"Is that so?"
Ling Xuan asked uncertainly.
"Of course!"
Bai Lian gave a positive answer.
She reached out and wiped away the tears from the Fifth Martial Sister\'s eyes.
Small gestures, great impact.
She had obviously wanted to wipe away the fifth Martial Sister\'s tears, yet Bai Lian found that the fifth Martial Sister cried harder.
Her tears flooded down her cheeks.
Even more fierce than the heavy rain outside.
"Elder Martial Sister…"
Tears filled Ling Xuan\'s cheeks as her eyes blinked.
She opened her arms and tightly hugged Bai Lian\'s waist.
When she was running in the rain, she was cold, and only when she started running did she feel a bit of warmth.
When she hugged Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian.
From head to toe, from the inside out, she no longer felt the slightest chill.
She just felt warm.
It\'s as warm as sitting by a warm stove.
After her grandfather passed away, the warmest place in the world is only Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian\'s embrace!
"Elder Martial Sister, I wish I could grow up quickly."
Because her tears haven\'t stopped completely yet, Ling Xuan\'s voice was intermittent.
Bai Lian let out a soft sigh.
"You will grow up soon."
Seeing that the fifth Martial Sister was not answering, she suddenly said, "Let\'s measure our heights!"
"Eh?"
"Follow me."
Bai Lian pulled the fifth Martial Sister to go under the eaves.
She let the fifth Martial Sister lean against the outer wall of her room, and after the fifth Martial Sister stood straight, she used her fingernails to make a deep score at the position of the fifth Martial Sister\'s head on the stone pillar.
She said, "We will measure you each year, and when you are taller than the Third Elder Martial Sister, you will have grown up."
Ling Xuan was confused, "But when I grow taller, wouldn\'t Third Elder Martial Sister grow taller too?"
No.
Her height will no longer grow!
Of course Bai Lian would never say such cruel words.
"Let\'s aim for the Third Elder Martial Sister\'s current height!"
"Hmm!"
Ling Xuan nodded vigorously.
When she grows up, she won\'t be a burden to Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian anymore.
Wait until she grows up, everything will be different.
The spring rain was still falling.
Ling Xuan was closely pressed against Bai Lian.
The two people silently watched the view of the rain outside the mountain.
The wind is gentle, the rain is fine. No wonder spring sorrows pile on little by little.
