She closes her eyes in shock, and when she opens them again, she sees that the woman is only holding a fish in her hand. Li Xinmei carefully uses her Qiankun Formation Eyes to observe, sometimes seeing a fish and sometimes seeing a person. This makes her extremely nervous. At this moment, she can’t care about anything else and immediately speaks up to stop the woman, "Wait, don't touch that thing!"
She thought that the beauty who seemingly has a profound cultivation would ignore her. But she watches as the woman momentarily pauses. She also disregards the fish in her hand then joyfully exclaims, "Xiao Mei, you're awake?"
Big Bai, who’s enjoying its meal, reluctantly spits out Xiao Mei.
As soon as Xiao Mei lands on the ground, her entire body feels extremely awful. She’s very hungry and, seeing a plump white thing next to her, immediately takes a bite without thinking. Fortunately, due to her weakened state, her bite isn’t strong enough, as her teeth would have shattered otherwise.
Big Bai's body turns gray, assuming a shape that appears ready to bite Xiao Mei. Although Su Tingyun is extremely hungry as well, she quickly realizes what’s happening. She comforts Big Bai with a pat and then makes it wrap both herself and Xiao Mei inside its body.
With Big Bai serving as a natural barrier, the sense of hunger Su Tingyun is feeling diminishes significantly. Big Bai is still very hungry, however. But luckily, there are plenty of Kunlun Divine Tree chunks for it to eat.
"Thank you for the grace of saving my life," Xiao Mei directly kneels down, about to kowtow to Su Tingyun.
She nearly died. And if she died, how would she explain herself to the Qiankun Array Hall? She is their hope!
"Xiao Mei, it's me," Su Tingyun takes out her other body. "I can separate my soul, and currently, I'm using this vessel."
Initially, Xiao Mei is alarmed and astonished to see her unconscious Granny. However, when she looks at the expression and gentle gaze of the beauty in front of her, along with the breath released by her soul, she hesitantly speaks, "Granny?"
Su Tingyun nods, and Xiao Mei immediately pounces into her arms.
Now that Su Tingyun's body has a large chest and a slim waist, the impact of Xiao Mei’s pounce causes a bit of pain on her chest...
Seeing Xiao Mei pounce on Su Tingyun, Big Bai becomes even more unhappy. It uses the Kunlun Divine Tree like a whip, not directly hitting Li Xinmei, but striking next to her, making a snapping sound.
Since it’s her Granny, Li Xinmei is reassured. But this isn’t the right time for catching up. Silver light shimmers in her eyes, resembling a sea of stars in the sky, like they could draw souls into them.
"Granny, those fish are people. We can’t eat them, can we?"
Upon hearing Li Xinmei's words, Su Tingyun almost throws up.
If Xiao Mei hadn't awakened in time, she might have ended up eating human flesh. The hunger she had just experienced was incredibly torturous. Although it came out of nowhere, she was so consumed by her appetite that she forgot everything else and ignored everything except eating. The fishes in the pond seemed like the best choice. Her face turns pale, and she covers her chest, feeling a wave of fear.
"There's a formation here," Li Xinmei's expression also turns grim. "Although I can sense it, it's elusive and muddled. With my current abilities, I probably can't break the formation. Luckily, we have this barrier." She pauses for a moment. "Granny, we should leave here quickly."
Su Tingyun nods in agreement and calls for Big Bai to escort them out. However, as they’re about to leave the pond, she suddenly thinks of something and shouts for them to stop.
The fish from earlier!
The rest of the fishes in this pond is all corpses. They’re not moving at all, and any slight movement earlier was caused by Su Tingyun picking up the fish, possibly brushing against an arm or leg of a corpse.
But that carp earlier—
It was jumping like it was in so much agony. Perhaps it wasn't trying to leap through the Dragon Gate, but it was actually a living person, a cultivator who had entered the Immortal Palace this time.
Should they go back and save that person?
The Kunlun Divine Tree contains abundant spiritual energy, and Big Bai won’t be harmed for a while. If they are to save someone, they shouldn't encounter any danger.
A living person sealed in the pond, transformed into a fish, and perhaps even eaten by someone else...
Zhang Zhizi, who has bad blood with them, is definitely not that fish. The others have no enmity towards them. But among those who entered the Immortal Palace, there’s also Su Lijiang. What if, what if that person was Su Lijiang?
Su Tingyun doesn’t immediately make a decision. She asks for Li Xinmei's opinion.
