Chapter 117: Mystical Artifact
The white-clad woman has a cultivation that surpasses the Tribulation Transcendent stage, as she has existed in the world for a long time.
Blue seas have turned into mulberry fields, winds of clouds have come and gone, people and events from the past have long turned to dust and smoke. Memories have long become hazy, and even rosy cheeks have turned into withered bones. Yet her primordial spirit remains preserved within the painting, which is also a strange kind of immortality. When she first reawakened, she was still very weak, yet she was able to withstand the attacks of Xuan Qi who’s at the late stages of Tribulation Transcendent. Now, having received much nourishment, her strength has naturally advanced by leaps and bounds.
The person who wields the Beauty Scroll will eventually become a demonic creature, bringing destruction to a realm.
Not a human Demonic Cultivator of the Cultivation Realm, but a true demon from the Demon Realm. Demonic Cultivators have emotions, and even if they are ruthless and kill other people like they’re merely scything flax, they may still have good thoughts for a person, an object, or circumstance. For example, they might be as strong as steel for their mother, or they might go crazy for their love. However, demonic creatures do not possess emotions; they only know slaughter and destruction.
The value of the Beauties’ existence lies in helping their master grow and keeping him safe. Of course, they will choose the right timing when it comes to taking action. If there are things that can stir up their master's anger and unwillingness, they generally prefer not to intervene.
But she is willing to help retrieve the little girl this time. After all, the Beauty Scroll’s requirements for women are so high that even the lowest-ranked ones are female cultivators of various realms who have reached the Tribulation Transcendent stage, and possess unparalleled beauty. How could it accept such a low-cultivation woman? Could it be that she possesses some extraordinary quality?
She holds the feather fan in her hand and, with a gentle wave, a fierce gust of wind sweeps over, causing Big Bai to wobble and almost roll away. Big Bai's figure continues to grow, until it’s as big as a small hill, with its leaf trembling on top, and its body turning a pale gray.
On the sidelines, Zhang Zhizi's eyes turn completely red, stimulated by Big Bai's emotions. A low, beast-like growl comes from his throat. But the woman in white lets out a laugh instead, her body shivers slightly, and faint moans escape her lips. She stops waving the fan in her hand, and stares at Big Bai with naked greed.
Its mind attack can make the young master’s emotions go berserk, and his uncontrollable anger and madness are the best nourishment for her. She must obtain this troublesome creature!
"Little darling, this humble one’s soul has existed for thousands upon thousands of years. This little trick of yours can't do anything to me." She has experienced too much– torment, slaughter, bloodshed, and humiliation. The past has already dried up, and her heart has long gone numb. She feeds on the anger of heaven and earth, and her primordial spirit will only grow stronger.
The white-clad woman covers her face with the feather fan and giggles a little. "This older sister has forgotten her original name, but the young master has bestowed the name Bai Lu upon me. What should I call this white dumpling? How about becoming my pet?"
Upon hearing the woman's voice, Big Bai gets extremely mad. Its body forms a "C" shape and goes to bite, but since the opponent is just a soul, it naturally bites nothing but air. But when it goes to bite the scroll, black energy swirls around the painting, and the scroll becomes taut, as hard as iron, then it cuts into Big Bai's body.
A very small nick appears on Big Bai's belly, and a trace of blood seeps out from it.
Bai Lu utters in surprise, "The Beauty Scroll can only break a small part of your skin?"
Big Bai is panic-stricken and it doesn’t know what to do. Even when it was bitten by the silver fishes, it only resulted in pockmarks and bumpiness on its skin, but the skin itself had never been cut, let alone bleed. The wound hurts so much, but the anger and panic in its heart is making it even more nervous. It chirps again and again.
It senses that the other party is dangerous, so it wraps Su Tingyun more securely to prevent her from coming out. However, Su Tingyun can’t just let Big Bai risk itself out there. She tells Big Bai to watch over Xiao Mei while she herself brandishes her sword. With a flash of cold light, an attack comes whizzing towards the white-clad woman. The woman's expression remains unchanged as she coldly snorts, "Little darling, your master is hiding behind you and won't come out. What's the point of following such a master? It would be better to follow me."
