Chapter 217 Cai Lin arrives, and they get married?
Yan Li regained his senses and looked at the black-robed youth with eyes filled with anger, fear, and confusion.
He didn't know what the mysterious mark in his sea of consciousness was, but he was certain that it was not a good thing.
"Don't worry, as long as you listen to me, it won't have any effect on you!"
Slowly withdrawing his hand, Xiao Bai glanced at Yan Li, whose eyes were bloodshot, and said calmly.
Upon hearing this, a flash of despair crossed Yan Li's eyes. He had already suspected that he was being controlled, and now it was completely confirmed.
In an instant, his face turned pale, as if all his energy had been drained away, his expression was miserable, and after a long while, he said in a trembling, low voice:
"What do you need me to do?"
"Nothing is needed!"
Xiao Bai waved his hand, slowly sat back in his chair, and said:
"I'll contact you when I need anything in the future!"
"You're controlling me because you're after my identity as an alchemist, so I can refine pills for you?"
Yan Ligang, who had just calmed down, was instantly taken aback.
Alchemists are revered, but that's only because they haven't encountered villains.
Some people on the mainland specifically seek out alchemists who are not yet famous but have good talent in alchemy.
They were secretly imprisoned in a dark dungeon and forced to refine elixirs every day, living a life of darkness and misery!
He had thought the young man in front of him was that kind of person, but it turned out he wasn't!
"To refine elixirs for me?"
Xiao Bai almost laughed. He looked him up and down for a moment, then said strangely:
"You?"
".!" Yan Li.
What kind of look is that? Are you looking down on him?
The black-robed youth's gaze made him feel humiliated, his face instantly flushed red, and he puffed out his chest and gritted his teeth, saying:
"What's wrong with me? I'm a fourth-grade alchemist! And at the peak of fourth grade, just one step away from fifth grade. You can't compare to that second-grade alchemist next to me!"
"!" Xiao Yan.
What did I do to you?
He glanced sideways at Yan Li and sneered:
"Don't even mention someone as old as you, a fourth-rank official. Even if you were a seventeen-year-old fourth-rank official, you'd be nothing compared to Brother Bai!"
"You still have the nerve to say that? You're only one step away from the fifth rank. Even if you were a true fifth rank, my brother Bai wouldn't even look at you!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Li's face instantly turned a deep purplish-red, and he glared fiercely at Xiao Yan, his heart burning with rage.
As the vice president of the Alchemists Guild of the Izumo Empire, which second-rank alchemist would have dared to speak to him like that in the past?
"Heh. A defeated opponent!"
"What the hell?"
Xiao Yan's eyes widened, and he turned to look at Xiao Bai, shouting:
"Brother Bai, let's just kill this shameless old bastard!"
Yan Li's expression changed, and he immediately calmed down, hurriedly looking at Xiao Bai, afraid that he would really make a move.
"!" Xiao Bai.
He flicked his finger, tossed the storage ring in his hand away, and got up to walk outside.
"Alright! You guys go about your business, I'm leaving now!"
"My lord, may I ask... am I still allowed to participate in the Alchemist Conference?"
Yan Li accepted the storage ring with delight, put it back on his hand, and then looked at the black-robed youth who was about to walk out the door, asking cautiously.
Since things have already come to this point, if the original plan still fails, then we'll really lose a fortune.
"what ever!"
Xiao Bai waved his hand, did not turn around, and disappeared outside the door.
"Want to win the championship? You're dreaming!" Upon hearing that he also wanted to participate in the Alchemist Conference, Xiao Yan gave a cold laugh and turned to leave.
"Hehe!" Yan Li chuckled lightly as he watched the black-clad youth's retreating figure, without saying a word, his laughter filled with contempt.
Xiao Yan paused slightly, clenched his fists, suppressed his displeasure, and strode away.
By the time we got back to the courtyard, it was already evening.
Just as he sat down, he saw Xiao Yan storm in, staring intently at him.
Xiao Bai chuckled. This Xiao Yan in this timeline was less bitter and resentful than the original character, and more spirited and youthful.
"Nine-star Dou Shi, still a little short of perfection!" After looking him up and down for a moment, Xiao Bai said leisurely.
"Hmm!" Xiao Yan nodded, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Xiao Bai didn't speak, but stretched out a palm. A moment later, a wisp of transparent flame with a hint of milky white flickered on it.
The instant this flame appeared, Xiao Yan's body froze, his handsome face instantly turning as red-hot as embers, with wisps of white mist rising and swirling from his head.
"Wow! That's amazing!"
Startled, Xiao Yan hurriedly looked inward at the cluster of flames that had suddenly appeared within his body. He hadn't seen this before, and didn't know what was going on.
The flame is still in Brother Bai's hand, so how come a wisp of it has already entered his body?
"The Fallen Heart Flame is formless and colorless, manifesting only through the heart. This wisp is enough for your alchemy tomorrow, and might even help you achieve perfect cultivation. Your teacher will guide you on how to do it!"
As they spoke, Xiao Bai handed over the flickering flame in his hand. Xiao Yan was also constantly communicating with Yao Lao, and then his hands rose with azure flames, enveloping the transparent flame to catch it.
"Hehe. Thanks, Brother Bai!"
Having just experienced the benefits of being tempered by the wisp of heart fire projected within his body, Xiao Yan held up the fallen heart flame with a look of surprise and delight.
Seeing Xiao Yan's beaming smile as he absorbed the Heart Flame into his body, Xiao Bai chuckled slightly, glancing at the black ring on his hand, and said softly:
"Master Yao, the medicinal herbs have now been collected. I will study the prescription tonight, and I will refine it tomorrow!"
"Alright! I'll be waiting for your good news!" Yao Lao's voice also became excited. Now that his body was illusory, he also urgently needed the Soul Spirit Liquid to recover some of his strength before he could face those rats from the Soul Palace.
The night was serene and peaceful.
Xiao Bai sat alone in his room, holding a roll of animal hide, carefully examining and pondering it. This was the recipe for the Three-Seven Soul Spirit Liquid Pill given to him by the old doctor. This pill was of the sixth grade, and its difficulty was no less than that of the Dou Zong Pill.
There was only one dose of medicine, so even he had to be careful.
However, he didn't seem to be fully focused on it at the moment, and a hint of annoyance occasionally flashed in his eyes.
"call"
Xiao Bai exhaled deeply, put away the animal skin scroll in his hand, got up and walked out of the room. With a tremor, he appeared on the roof.
He stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into a distant direction, a fleeting look of worry in his eyes.
A moment later, energy wings appeared behind them, and they were about to head in one direction.
"Huh? Xiao Bai, are you going to see that guy too?" Hai Bodong's aged voice appeared, causing the soaring figure to pause.
"What guy?" Xiao Bai turned his head and looked at Hai Bodong, who was grinning.
"That gray-robed guy from the Alchemist Conference!" Hai Bodong laughed as he reached the rooftop. "Jia Xingtian, Fama, and I have arranged to check him out tonight. How about we go together?"
Xiao Bai remained silent, then waved his hand: "I'm not going!"
"Where are you going?" Hai Bodong asked curiously.
Just as Xiao Bai was about to speak, he suddenly raised an eyebrow, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes, and abruptly turned to look at a certain mountain peak outside the Holy City.
"Haha. Go by yourself!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he transformed into a streak of light and sped off in that direction.
"So happy?"
Seeing his sudden excitement, Hai Bodong muttered something and chased after him, wanting to see what had made this guy look like that.
"Why did you chase after me?" Xiao Bai rolled his eyes as he looked at Hai Bodong who was catching up behind him.
"Hehe. Your side might be even more exciting. I'll come along and see what's going on!" Hai Bodong winked and smiled expectantly.
Looking at Hai Bodong beside him with a strange expression, Xiao Bai gave him a thumbs up and teased, "Old Hai, you have commendable courage to go and watch Queen Medusa's spectacle!"
Hai Bodong's breath hitched; he nearly plummeted from the sky. His face was filled with shock and fear as he glanced around frantically, asking in a panicked voice, "She's here?"
"Are you going again?" Xiao Bai asked with a playful look.
Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!
"Go to hell!" Hai Bodong's face darkened. He flung his hand, instantly changed direction, and ran back. He hadn't flown far when he paused, muttering to himself:
"No! I can't go back. I need to find somewhere to hide. Yes, I'll stay with Old Man Jia for a few days. Hmm, that's decided!"
With that, he turned around again and flew towards a certain place in the city.
"!" Xiao Bai.
How badly did Cai Lin beat him back then to make this old guy show that expression!
Shaking his head slightly, Xiao Bai looked out of the city, his eyes almost overflowing with joy. With a flap of his wings, he transformed into a streak of light and disappeared once more.
outside the city.
At the mountaintop, a gentle night breeze caressed the clouds, which flowed like wisps of mist.
A graceful figure stood quietly, the moonlight above her head veiled by thin clouds, the hazy light falling upon her, draping her in a soft silver glow.
A golden-red brocade robe fluttered in the wind, her long hair cascading over her shoulders, the breeze gently caressing her hair, exuding elegance and nobility.
Her long, narrow, and majestic eyes, adorned with starlight under the moonlight, were both alluring and aloof. Gazing at the giant city below, a hint of expectation flickered in her eyes in the hazy light.
At one moment, her eyebrows lifted slightly, and the corners of her lips curved into a faint smile.
"Haha, my darling queen, you've finally arrived!" A clear, joyful laugh broke the silence of the mountains.
A streak of light flashed across the sky like a shooting star, landing on the mountaintop. Xiao Bai gazed at the delicate figure on the edge of the cliff, seemingly about to ride the wind and return home. After observing for a moment, the worry in his eyes slowly dissipated.
"Hmph! Show me some respect!"
With her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, Cai Lin glared at the man who tried to hug her right away, and with her red lips slightly parted, she softly scolded him.
Xiao Bai pretended not to hear, stepped forward, and pulled the alluring, voluptuous body into his arms. He inhaled the lingering fragrance, lowered his head to her fair earlobe, and whispered:
"Cai Lin, I miss you!"
A deep, gentle voice lingered in her ears, causing Cai Lin's heart to skip a beat. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she quickly turned her head away, letting out a soft hum.
"You're quite skilled at this! Besides me, how many people have you said this to?"
Xiao Bai's heart skipped a beat. Did his queen darling know something?
Her expression remained unchanged, she chuckled softly, and her gaze gently fell upon the person in her arms: "I'm innocent! This is the first time I've said that today!"
Hmm. Not bad, this is the first time today, previous ones don't count!
"That would be for the best. If I find out you've told others this, hehe." Cai Lin raised her chin, her phoenix eyes fixed on Xiao Bai's, and sneered.
"!" Xiao Bai.
He secretly wiped away a cold sweat. Sure enough, she was a proud person. If she wanted to build a harem, the road ahead would be long and arduous!
Thinking about his trip to Yunlan Sect three days later, Xiao Bai instantly realized he had been careless!
When we were with the Snake-People, Cai Lin never mentioned anything like this. How come she's started asking about this now that we haven't seen each other for over a month?
"After this matter at the Yunlan Sect, you will come back to the Snake-People Clan with me. Several of the clan's elders wish to see you!"
A blush crept onto the tips of Cai Lin's ears, and she nuzzled her head gently against his chest, whispering softly.
"See me?" Feeling the movement in his arms, Xiao Bai gently stroked her hair and asked in surprise:
"Aren't they always in seclusion? I didn't encounter them during my two visits to the Snake-People's Tribe!"
"Yes! They presided over this altar baptism after they came out of seclusion. After hearing news about you spread among the snake people, they asked me about it, and I told them about you!"
Cai Lin's lips curled up slightly, and a hint of unfathomable tenderness flashed in her beautiful eyes.
"So what did they see me as...?" Xiao Bai had a sudden bad feeling and asked cautiously.
"Why are you asking so many questions? Are you going or not?"
Cai Lin struggled to her feet, glared at Xiao Bai, her pretty face slightly flushed, and waved her hand impatiently.
"Fine, I'll go!" Looking at the suddenly angry queen, Xiao Bai helplessly shrugged and said, "But you have to give me a hint!"
Having lived two lives, this is my first time meeting your parents, so I'm inevitably a little nervous.
Cai Lin's eyes darted away, her head turned to the side, and after a long while, her voice was barely audible:
"Let's discuss the marriage!"
"Holy crap!" Xiao Bai exclaimed in shock, rubbing his ears in disbelief. His eyes widened in disbelief, and he almost burst out of his skin. His bad premonition had come true!
Is this something Queen Medusa would say?
marry?
How can this be allowed? If they get married now, and Xun'er finds out, she'll probably call a bunch of Dou Zun to come and destroy them both.
"Then it's settled. After this matter is over, you'll come back with me!"
Cai Lin looked at him excitedly and said, "Oh my god!" A hint of shyness flashed in her narrow, beautiful eyes, and her voice was soft.
"Wait a minute." Seeing that Cai Lin had misunderstood, Xiao Bai was sweating profusely and his mind raced.
"You don't want to?"
Seeing this, the joy in Cai Lin's eyes slowly faded, and her alluring face gradually turned cold. Could it be that this guy wasn't sincere towards her and hadn't thought about spending the rest of his life with her?
"willing!"
Seeing Cai Lin's resolute attitude and the temperature around them starting to drop, Xiao Bai hurriedly nodded, knowing that if he dared to say no, given this woman's pride, she would never speak to him again.
Upon hearing this, Cai Lin's expression gradually softened, and she rolled her eyes at him, clearly annoyed.
"What kind of man acts so timid and hesitant?!"
Xiao Bai wanted to cry but had no tears. Was this something to be coy about?
He said that during this meeting, Cai Lin suddenly started asking about other people's affairs, and it turned out that she was waiting for him here.
There's no other way right now but to stall. As long as we keep putting it off, there'll eventually be a way to solve it.
"I'm tired!"
Cai Lin walked to Xiao Bai's side, glanced at him slightly, and said softly.
"Let's go! I just bought a house with a courtyard in town; I'll take you home!"
Putting aside his thoughts, Xiao Bai took her delicate hand that was hanging in front of him and said gently.
"Um!"
Cai Lin nodded gently, a smile playing on her lips.
