Chapter 29 I'm a Genuine Disciple
Chapter 29 I'm a Genuine Disciple
The same gesture was made with a gentle hook, but the person by the window did not move an inch, not even a hair.
"Ok?"
Bai You glanced over again, slightly puzzled, only to meet the eyes of that person once more.
The woman looked at him calmly, her eyes devoid of any other emotion.
Bai You even wondered if he had misjudged the situation and that the woman wasn't actually staring at him.
"This woman..."
Bai You narrowed his eyes slightly.
It was indeed the cultivation level of a Golden Core cultivator. If it was a disguise that even he couldn't see through, then this person's strength must be above his own.
But is it possible?
In such a small place, considering what he just did, he has such strength yet did nothing, and there's even a great ghost king here, yet he can remain so calm and collected without trying to capture him to refine the banner. He really can't think of any other old monster he doesn't know.
"Old Monster" Liu Xingxing was inwardly cursing. She knew this pretentious guy, who was even more pretentious than her, was definitely eyeing her. She shouldn't have looked at him twice.
Bai You pushed away the female ghost in his arms, straightened his clothes, slowly stood up, looked down at the person below, and reached out to channel his ghostly energy in her direction.
"Those who try to play tricks on me only have one path: death!"
The ghostly energy was suddenly thrown at Liu Xingxing, but it vanished the moment it touched her. A faint halo of light appeared around her, which was probably reflected from the robe she was wearing.
Liu Xingxing remained calm and pursed her lips: "Why are you being so fierce? You're scaring my cat."
As she spoke, she gently patted the black cat in her arms a few times, as if to soothe it.
A mere mid-level magic robe could withstand his attack; it seems another hypothesis needs to be verified.
"Why are you hiding your true colors? Why not show your true face?"
Liu Xingxing tilted her head slightly, her eyes full of confusion: "Are you talking to me?"
"Hmph, otherwise, the one who could withstand my attack is no ordinary person, and your appearance makes it hard for me to guess which master you are."
Liu Xingxing glanced at the ghostly aura filling the sky behind him, then looked down at the Zhu Ye grass in the room, which was meant for decoration but was slowly withering because it had been contaminated by the ghostly aura.
"I quite like you, but unfortunately my spiritual power can't save you," Liu Xingxing murmured softly.
He then looked up at the person in the sedan chair and said calmly, "Want to know? Catch up with me and I'll tell you."
Liu Xingxing smiled at him, and in the blink of an eye, she vanished from the spot.
"Teleportation talisman? No, it's teleportation!"
Bai You tilted his head slightly, revealing a strange smile.
It's been so long since I've stretched my muscles; today's a good day to get some exercise.
"You go to the burial cave first, I will follow shortly."
"Yes!"
They only needed to obey the Ghost King's words. They were never worried that anything might happen to Baiyou, after all, their ruler had never lost a fight in the past thousand years.
As soon as the ghost soldiers left, most of the ghostly aura dissipated, allowing the sunlight to shine through.
A hundred miles away, on a clearing in the mountains, Liu Xingxing calmly stopped. She glanced at Xiao Mo, who was still alert in her arms, and then cast a spell to put him into a spirit beast bag she had specially bought. She wouldn't be able to take care of the little guy if a fight broke out later.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Xingxing picked out a handy weapon from her sea of consciousness. She figured that the show-off should be catching up soon, so she calmly stood there and waited for him to arrive.
When it comes to showing off, Liu Xingxing is definitely a cut above the rest.
When Bai You arrived, he saw that ordinary-looking woman standing there as if she was waiting for him.
Bai You disdainfully flew straight over and started fighting without saying a word.
Liu Xingxing deftly dodged the attack by turning her body slightly. Then, while dodging, she studied the ghost's attack methods. After dozens of moves, she didn't make a move, and Bai You didn't even touch the hem of her clothes.
Bai You, unable to contain himself any longer, roared, "What kind of skill is it to just hide like that? Why don't you make a move!"
Liu Xingxing dodged to the side again, and smiled slightly at Bai You who was close by.
"you sure?"
Bai You was terrified and abruptly withdrew his attack, trying to get away, but it was too late. The person in front of him passed right through his body in a flash, the movement so fast that even he couldn't see it clearly.
"puff!"
The next second, Bai You coughed up a mouthful of blood essence, his eyes filled with disbelief, and his floating body plummeted straight down.
"Tsk, that's really boring."
I thought he would be some kind of formidable opponent, but I didn't expect him to be unable to withstand even one move.
Liu Xingxing shook her head and flew down to the half-dead little ghost.
"Cough cough cough, how is this possible, how is this possible! Who exactly are you?!"
Bai You clutched his shoulder, which had been crippled in a single move, and trembled, unable to lift his head.
Liu Xingxing looked down at the "person" on the ground, used the weapon in her hand to lift his chin, and looked at his face, which was made even more beautiful by the stains of his own blood.
“I don’t like talking to people with my head tilted back, but it’s much better this way.”
"you……"
"You should be glad that you have such a beautiful face, and that I happen to like beautiful things. Otherwise, you wouldn't even be able to be a ghost in my eyes today."
Liu Xingxing didn't give him a chance to speak. She then put away her weapon and prepared to leave this godforsaken place. Let Bai You fend for himself.
Seeing that the man was about to leave, Bai You forced herself to sit up straight and asked, still unwilling to give up, "Who exactly are you? Tell me, and if I can catch up with you, you will tell me the truth."
Liu Xingxing stopped in her tracks, paused, and turned to look at him.
"Really want to know?"
Bai You didn't speak, but just kept staring at her, his meaning was self-evident.
Liu Xingxing lowered her eyes, then looked at him and smiled, "When you can break the move I just used, you can go to Penglai Stream in the north to find me. When you find me, I will tell you."
Penglai Stream?
That's the permanent residence of the major immortal sects, the place with the most human cultivators, so saying that is as good as not saying anything at all.
Bai You wanted to ask something more, but when she turned around, the person had vanished. Only the last sentence could be heard in the distance:
"Let's not make our outings so gloomy in the future, and take better care of the flowers and plants."
……
As for why Liu Xingxing didn't kill Bai You, that's obvious. If she killed one of the Five Ghost Kings, it might cause a huge uproar, and it might also attract some unnecessary pursuit. She didn't want to have her good days disturbed by little ghosts who would suddenly appear out of nowhere and try to assassinate her.
Besides, she had no grudge against that ghost king, so there was no need for her to kill him and cause herself trouble. She was never one to be overly kind-hearted, and the human cultivator who was killed by Bai You earlier had nothing to do with her. Moreover, that guy had even mentioned her cheap master. She could only say that everyone has their own fate.
Unbeknownst to her, Liu Xingxing's heart seemed to be beating more and more like Liu Jun's...
Liu Xingxing continued on her journey at a leisurely pace, enjoying the various scenery along the way, and frequently letting Xiao Mo out to play, and occasionally letting the little snake roam freely.
Whenever they passed through a town, they would stop to rest for a day or two, and take the opportunity to practice alchemy and familiarize themselves with the techniques of alchemy.
"Come, come, let's take a look at these fine magical artifacts and treasures."
"Anyone interested in spirit pet eggs, demon cores, or demon cores, come and take a look!"
"Any fellow cultivators interested in collecting talismans? Flying and teleporting talismans are all available..."
The bustling streets were filled with the sounds of vendors hawking their wares, creating a dazzling and almost surreal atmosphere.
"Here you are, young lady. Your steamed buns are ready, plus two meat sesame cakes. That'll cost you eight spirit stones in total."
"Give."
Liu Xingxing handed over a few low-grade spirit stones, took the food, and walked back to the inn where she had stayed the day before.
This place is already the central area of Penglai Gorge, a place where multiple sects converge, and it's not far from Xuanshan Sect, so Liu Xingxing is even less in a hurry to rush back.
In recent days, Liu Xingxing has gradually mastered some of the tricks of alchemy, but most of the time the pills she makes are a little lacking in refinement. However, compared to before when she was completely clueless, it is already much better.
After all, Liu Jun herself hadn't refined pills for over a thousand years, and had focused all her attention on cultivation. However, Liu Xingxing wasn't her, but she still possessed the ability. Liu Xingxing needed to hone her skills further before refining the Marrow Cleansing Pill without feeling anxious, since there was only one such good thing.
Liu Xingxing picked out a sesame seed cake and strolled along, enjoying the lively atmosphere brought by the vendors' calls. She had always loved this feeling.
With an ordinary appearance, you can freely move among the crowd; no one cares about you, and you don't need to care about others.
Actually, being an NPC isn't so bad. You can live your life quietly, without much joy or sorrow, and have a smooth life.
