Chapter 76 Bai Ruoxi: Gradually Sickly Version 5.5K (1/2)
Lan Murian stepped on the auspicious cloud and looked at Bai Ruoxi who left with Mu Zhian.
A cultivator in the Refining Spirit Realm who is less than 20 years old... This young lady of the Bai family has an immeasurable future.
If she enters Liangyi Sect in a few days, I am afraid that she will attract many people to compete for the first seat.
This young lady of the Bai family is indeed a genius who has amazed countless people...
The first person in this sect assessment is probably Bai Ruoxi.
Lan Murian retracted her gaze and was about to leave.
At this time, she suddenly keenly caught a wisp of pink smoke in the sky. Almost in the blink of an eye, the pink smoke floated in the air.
If you don't observe carefully, you can't detect it at all.
Demonic aura...?
Lan Murian's eyes moved slightly and scanned the surroundings. Almost all the cultivators who had just watched the heavenly tribulation were in all directions. It was impossible to tell who the demonic aura came from.
She immediately raised her hand and took out a talisman and waved it. The talisman seemed to be ignited by fire, and turned into ashes and drifted away with the wind. When Lan Murian raised her eyes again, there was a strange golden light in her eyes.
One of the secret methods of Liangyi Sect is the Qi-watching technique.
People are born with "qi", the spiritual energy of cultivators, the luck of ordinary people, the demonic energy of demon cultivators, and even various emotions.
Through the Qi-watching technique, all of this can be seen at a glance.
Lan Murian glanced at the cultivators, and the translucent white spiritual energy emanating from each cultivator's body.
No demon cultivators were seen in this place.
But the demonic energy just now could not be an illusion.
This is a bit strange... If a demon cultivator was lurking in the crowd, with her Qi-watching technique, she would definitely be able to detect it at the first time.
But now she can't detect the existence of the demon cultivator at all.
The only possibility is... the demon cultivator just left the scene.
But if it was someone who had just left the scene, then it would only be...
The beauty in the white dress tilted her head slightly, staring at the direction where Mu Zhian and others left, her eyes quiet.
Ye Yu was also staring at that direction. He was staring at the direction where Mu Zhian left in the crowd, or more precisely, at Bai Ruoxi's beautiful back.
After a long time, a meaningful smile appeared on his face.
…
The news that a cultivator in the Refining Spirit Realm had passed the tribulation outside the city gate today had spread among the cultivators almost that afternoon.
After all, it caused such a big commotion, and many cultivators were present at the time and witnessed the scene with their own eyes, which naturally aroused heated discussions among people.
How long has it been since Tianxuan City has produced a cultivator in the Refining Spirit Realm?
What's more, the power of this heavenly tribulation has exceeded that of 99% of the cultivators in the Refining Spirit Realm.
Generally speaking, even if there are three heavenly tribulations, it would be difficult for a cultivator in the Refining Spirit Realm to take them head-on. After all, the power of the heavenly tribulation is determined by the cultivator's realm, and the destructive power must be higher than the cultivator's own realm.
However, Bai Ruoxi not only successfully survived the heavenly tribulation, but she didn't even have the slightest injury on her body.
This makes people have to pay attention.
"This eldest lady of the Bai family is really amazing. It's okay that she cultivates quickly, but even surviving the tribulation is so easy."
At this moment, Lan Murian, who had just returned to the Yangfeng Inn, welcomed her sister in the room. At this moment, Lan Feiying propped up her chin and looked at the woman in white standing by the window, saying:
"When I entered the inn just now, many people were discussing this matter."
Lan Murian lowered her eyes, looked at the manual on the table, and whispered: "Bai Ruoxi's cultivation speed is indeed a bit amazing."
"In this case, Bai Ruoxi should be the first person to enter the Liangyi Sect, right?" Lan Feiying asked.
"If nothing unexpected happens." Lan Murian nodded slightly, but her eyebrows frowned inadvertently.
At that time, after the heavenly tribulation ended, she clearly felt a thin demonic aura surrounding the city gate.
If it were an ordinary cultivator, it might be difficult to detect, but she was born extremely sensitive to "qi", so she could naturally detect the existence of the demonic aura.
Lan Murian pondered for a moment, and then took out a paper crane from the ring.
Lan Feiying raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Are you going to chat with the young master of the Mu family again?"
"It's different this time."
Lan Murian shook her head gently and said calmly, "I have something to ask him."
...
Mu Mansion.
Mu Zhian looked at Bai Ruoxi in front of the yard and sighed with some emotion: "I really didn't expect that Ruoxi has been promoted to the realm of refining spirits in just a few days."
With the same demonic talent, Bai Ruoxi's cultivation speed is faster than others.
People are completely incomparable.
Wei Mengrou, who was standing by, took the opportunity to look over.
Bai Ruoxi half-squatted in front of the snow lotus pond, looking at the snow lotus in the pond, looking like she was in a daze.
But there seemed to be a trace of inexplicable worry in her eyes.
"Her talent is indeed enough to surpass her peers. If you don't work hard to practice, you may find it more and more difficult to control her in the future." Wei Mengrou reminded coldly.
Mu Zhian shook his head and smiled, "It's just the Refining Spirit Realm. I can suppress it with just a wave of my hand."
The Refining Spirit Realm is indeed powerful, but Mu Zhian can still control it.
However, he always found it difficult to control the weight of Bai Ruoxi's human heart.
"Don't let her control you anytime." Wei Mengrou looked at the girl half-squatting by the snow lotus pond and suddenly said.
Bai Ruoxi supported her chin with both hands, a strand of hair set off her beautiful face. As if she noticed the gazes of the two people, she turned her head and looked over. After exchanging glances with Mu Zhian, she smiled shyly and gently.
Mu Zhian also smiled slightly, then shook his head and said with a smile: "Ruoxi is not the kind of person who has a strong desire for control. This can be seen from her daily style."
Bai Ruoxi has always been a relatively weak beauty. Although she seems a little cold to the outside world and makes it difficult for people to approach her, Mu Zhian has repeatedly confirmed during this period that Bai Ruoxi's heart is actually very warm.
Wei Mengrou said "huh", as if she was disdainful of the young master's words.
Mu Zhian understands human nature, but still does not understand women's hearts.
To be precise, he does not understand women's fickleness.
"By the way, there is one more thing you may want to pay attention to." Wei Mengrou suddenly said, with a bit more solemnity in her tone.
Mu Zhian turned his head to look at her.
"When the heavenly tribulation ended, Bai Ruoxi's body was tempered by the thunder tribulation, and the surrounding spiritual energy was also purified. At that time, a trace of demonic energy leaked out of her cauldron. I'm not sure if there are other cultivators in the Refining God Realm who noticed it." Wei Mengrou said.
Mu Zhian listened quietly, with no expression on his face.
"You don't seem surprised at all. Did you see it at that time?" Wei Mengrou couldn't help but ask softly.
Mu Zhian shook his head and said, "The truth will come out soon. There will always be a day when people will notice it."
"The sect assessment is imminent. If this matter affects Bai Ruoxi's entry into the sect, it will be troublesome." Wei Mengrou whispered.
If there is evidence that Bai Ruoxi is a demon cultivator, or if there is demonic energy in her body, it is likely to affect her entry into the sect later.
Even if she is a genius in the Refining God Realm.
There is nothing that can be done about it. In this environment, human cultivators and demon cultivators are fighting to the death.
By then, not only Bai Ruoxi, but also the Bai family will be implicated.
Even Mu Zhian, who had close contact with Bai Ruoxi during this period, may be investigated.
If the Chenxi Chamber of Commerce or even the Gongsun family's soul-refining cultivators who were present at the time also noticed the evil spirit... things would be troublesome.
"What are you going to do?" Wei Mengrou continued to ask.
Mu Zhian pondered for a moment and said, "If it was in the Liangyi Sect, this matter would not be easy to solve."
He turned his head to look at the beautiful maid and smiled, "But Tianxuan City is the territory of the Mu family."
...
Mu Zhian pushed open the door and returned to the room with Bai Ruoxi.
He poured a cup of tea and handed it to Bai Ruoxi, saying, "You've worked hard today, Ruoxi."
Bai Ruoxi seemed a little absent-minded. He took the teacup and smiled slightly, saying, "It's not hard or not. I'll have to go through the heavenly tribulation sooner or later after entering the realm of soul refining. I've prepared myself mentally before."
Mu Zhian looked at Bai Ruoxi, who was holding the teacup in both hands and taking a sip, and suddenly said, "By the way, the chain you released today is the way you comprehended in the realm of soul refining?"
Bai Ruoxi nodded gently, raised her delicate jade hand, flicked her fingers, and a golden chain quietly emerged.
The golden chain quietly wrapped around Mu Zhian's hands like a snake, and then his feet, until finally, it completely bound him.
Mu Zhian tried to struggle, but found that he couldn't get rid of it at all, and... he also had a very subtle feeling.
At this moment, he seemed to be able to clearly feel Bai Ruoxi's heartbeat.
Mu Zhian found that Bai Ruoxi was staring at him silently, and couldn't help asking: "What is this?"
"I named it the Love Lock." Bai Ruoxi stood up and walked to Mu Zhian's side and half squatted down, then gently took one of his hands and placed it on her chest.
"Can you feel my heartbeat, Mulang?"
How can I feel your heartbeat with your breasts... Mu Zhian smiled and nodded: "I can feel that my heart is connected with you."
Bai Ruoxi looked at Mu Zhian faintly and smiled: "A person bound by this Love Lock can immediately detect whether he is lying... Mulang was lying just now."
Fuck, isn't this a lie detector, and it's much more terrifying than a lie detector... Mu Zhian couldn't help but look at this smiling Miss Bai twice more.
For some reason, Mu Zhian inexplicably had a bad premonition.
Before, Bai Ruoxi gave people the impression of being a noble and cold lady, but in front of her lover, she would show her true weakness.
However, Bai Ruoxi now seemed to be escaping from his control.
"If it is used in actual combat, it can restrain the opponent for a short time. As for the duration of the restraint, it depends on the opponent's strength." Bai Ruoxi raised his hand, and the chain disappeared.
Mu Zhian, who regained his freedom, slightly activated his muscles and bones, looked at Bai Ruoxi's infinitely beautiful figure, and smiled: "Congratulations on reaching the Refining Spirit Realm so quickly."
Bai Ruoxi smiled reservedly, and seemed a little shy, whispering: "You have also contributed to this."
If it weren't for Mu Zhian's assistance, Bai Ruoxi would not have been able to reach the Refining Spirit Realm so quickly.
Mu Zhian stretched out his hand to hold Bai Ruoxi's waist and pulled her into his arms.
Bai Ruoxi twisted her waist, symbolically struggled, and made a move to push him away.
But Mu Zhian's other hand immediately held her palm and interlocked his fingers with hers.
Feeling the warmth coming from the young man's body, the body of the most beautiful woman in Tianxuan City gradually softened in Mu Zhian's arms.
"It seems that the God Refining Realm is no match for the Qi Training Realm." Mu Zhian deliberately whispered in her ear to tease her.
Bai Ruoxi's pretty face turned red, she gave Mu Zhian an unhappy look, and said, "If I'm serious, I can easily break away at this level."
"Then why aren't you serious?" Mu Zhian asked.
The warm breath fell gently on the earlobe, making Bai Ruoxi's ears feel a little hot, but she did not struggle anymore, but pressed her side to Mu Zhian's chest, as if feeling the warmth brought by him. .
At this time, Mu Zhian suddenly asked: "I saw that you seemed a little absent-minded just now. Is there anything else you are hiding from me?"
Bai Ruoxi shook her head gently: "Mu Lang, I don't understand what you are talking about -"
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly felt her body light. Mu Zhian picked her up and placed her on the table behind her.
Mu Zhian pressed Bai Ruoxi's wrist with one hand, then took off the embroidered shoes on her feet and gently poked Bai Ruoxi's soles.
Even through the thin white socks, Bai Ruoxi's body still trembled. It was obvious that the soles of her feet were one of her weak points.
"Mu Lang... what do you mean?" Bai Ruoxi's eyes flashed slightly and she looked straight at Mu Zhian, feeling both shy and confused.
"Lying is not what a good girl should do. You have one more chance to answer me honestly." Mu Zhian looked down at her.
"Did anything else happen when you were going through the tribulation?" Mu Zhian continued to ask.
Did he discover...?
Bai Ruoxi was surprised in her heart, but she just bit her lower lip and refused to speak.
Mu Zhian sighed and said: "Since you refuse to tell, then you can only give the bad girl who lied a little punishment -"
Bai Ruoxi closed her eyes slightly and bit her lower lip, seeming to be mentally prepared.
But after nearly half a stick of incense, Bai Ruoxi still didn't feel the slightest movement from Mu Zhian. She couldn't help but slowly opened her eyes, only to see him staring at her silently.
He suddenly sighed and said, "Ruoxi, are you still unwilling to trust me?"
Bai Ruoxi slowly opened her eyes and said softly: "What does Mu Lang mean by this?"
"Did something unexpected happen during today's tribulation?" Mu Zhian asked.
Bai Ruoxi opened her mouth slightly and noticed that Mu Zhian was staring directly at her. After hesitating for a long time, she finally nodded lightly.
"At the end of my tribulation, I discovered that there was demonic energy in my body... At that time, it was just a trace of demonic energy, so I didn't care."
Ruoxi's body indeed has evil spirit in her body. It's no wonder. After all, she is the daughter of Bai Yuanfeng... Mu Zhian asked puzzledly: "Why don't you want to tell me about this kind of thing?"
Bai Ruoxi lowered her eyes slightly and whispered: "If Mu Lang knows that there is really evil energy in my body, I'm afraid you will dislike me..."
This is not Bai Ruoxi's worry for no reason, but there have been several such cases in the past where she broke off all ties with her Taoist companion because she found out that he was a demon cultivator.
There is nothing in common between human monks and demon cultivators. Even though Bai Ruoxi is not a demon cultivator in the true sense, the blood of demon cultivators still flows in her body.
Bai Ruoxi's body had not shown any characteristics of a demon cultivator before, but after today's tribulation, the three-tailed fox bloodline in her body seemed to be showing signs of awakening.
This is a very bad sign.
If it were an ordinary monk, he would probably be a little hesitant after hearing Bai Ruoxi admit this.
However, Mu Zhian is just a pure LSP.
"I've said it before, if you were a fox-eared girl..." Mu Zhian coughed lightly and said, "I mean, it would be better if you had fox ears."
People in this world simply don’t understand the beauty of the fox-eared girl. How could a normal man refuse the blessing of that status? Once that identity appears, it can bring an attack speed bonus, just like the leg rings on Bai Ruoxi's tender white feet.
"However," Mu Zhian changed his tone and continued: "Sister Mengrou has noticed the evil spirit in you."
"If nothing else happens, the other God Refining Realm monks present at the time may have also noticed it."
Bai Ruoxi looked at Mu Zhian blankly.
"Maybe the Gongsun family is already secretly investigating your matter."
Seeing that Bai Ruoxi seemed worried, Mu Zhi calmed down and continued: "But don't worry, they want to investigate, just let them investigate."
Bai Ruoxi didn't speak anymore. After a long silence, she finally said, "What can you do?"
Mu Zhian lowered his head and kissed Bai Ruoxi's slightly blushing face, and said with a smile: "The sect's examination will be held soon. They won't dare to expose you directly until they have no way to prove your identity."
The Chenxi Chamber of Commerce just wants to make a small amount of money with peace of mind, and will not do such thankless things that may even harm its own interests.
The Gongsun family...Now that Gongsun Xiong has too much time to take care of himself, how could he dare to make any small moves at this time?
Once it is confirmed that Bai Ruoxi is not a demon cultivator, the Gongsun family who comes forward to question Bai Ruoxi will face joint suppression from the Mu family and the Bai family.
Gongsun Xiong, who has yet to recover from his serious injury, does not dare to take such a risk.
Therefore, the Gongsun family and the Chenxi Chamber of Commerce have no major problems.
"The real problem is not with the Gongsun family and the Chenxi Chamber of Commerce, but with my senior sister." Mu Zhian continued.
The Liangyi Sect and the demon world can be said to be mortal enemies. As the secluded disciple of the empress, Lan Murian's attitude towards demon cultivators is crucial.
If she doubts Bai Ruoxi's identity, it will be troublesome.
"Anyway, I will go to Yangfeng Inn later and test it first." Mu Zhian said.
Bai Ruoxi said softly: "I'm sorry, I've caused you so much trouble."
Mu Zhian stared into Bai Ruoxi's eyes and said: "Do we need to say this to each other, Ruoxi?"
Bai Ruoxi's eyes were misty, and he looked at him infatuatedly and said: "Mulang, you are so nice."
Mu Zhian hugged Bai Ruoxi's waist and said affectionately: "After all, you are the person I love most, Ruoxi... Why did you take out the love lock for no reason? Do you think I would lie to you?"
Realizing that Bai Ruoxi had secretly taken out the love lock at some point, Mu Zhian immediately raised his hand and pressed it on the back of Bai Ruoxi's hand, saying: "This love lock can be used occasionally to flirt when sleeping. My feelings for you should not be confirmed with the love lock, Ruoxi."
"Mulang, are you worried about exposing something?" Bai Ruoxi asked faintly.
Mu Zhian sighed softly, gently grabbed Bai Ruoxi's little hand, put it on his chest, stared at her, and said: "Ruoxi, I know you are a very insecure girl. However, you should still give me some trust."
"Instead of using that kind of thing, it's better to use your own hands to confirm it."
Bai Ruoxi's pretty face turned red, and she didn't dare to look up at him, but just silently put away the love lock.
This thing is too threatening. If something really goes wrong one day, it must be caused by this thing... After watching the love lock disappear, Mu Zhian was relieved.
At this time, he suddenly noticed a paper crane flying outside the window. The paper crane seemed to have locked Mu Zhian's position. Riding on the wind, it floated through the window and landed on Bai Ruoxi's chest.
Lan Mulian's paper crane.
Bai Ruoxi looked down at the paper crane, with doubt in her eyes, and said: "There is the spiritual energy of Senior Sister Lan on it."
Mu Zhian put away the paper crane calmly and said: "Well... I'll take a look later."
As soon as the voice fell, Bai Ruoxi did not speak, but just stared at him silently.
She wanted to see what Senior Sister usually wrote to me...Mu Zhian pondered for a long time, and finally smiled and nodded:
"Okay... Let's take a look together."
