Rao Yaoyao's delicate body suddenly trembled, her gaze frozen stiff.
Because on the folded fan in Mei Yiren's hand, a few large characters had been shaken out:"Are you stupid?"
In that instant, Rao Yaoyao felt the ultimate humiliation.It included the gazes of Xu Xiaoshou, Ba Zun'an, and others—even all the Lian Ling Shi on Void Island.
So, during the night talk at Tian Shang First Tower, Mei Yiren had already positioned himself behind Xu Xiaoshou?Then how dare he, under the guise of a teacher, righteously and eloquently lecture her? And she had been so deferential to him, believing he was a truly good teacher, never neglecting etiquette no matter the time.Originally, back then, Mei Yiren had used that to force her into retreat?Originally, back then, her intuition had already been correct?If she had followed the clue at that time, unraveled the thread, and uncovered more information, then everything that followed—Including all the events in Yun Lun Mountains, involving Yi, Teng Shanhai, and everything else—would it have led to a different outcome?
Rao Yaoyao's thoughts converged, revealing the overlooked details from before. Mei Yiren didn't play a grand game, but with just one move, he had perfectly steered the outcome in another direction.Such a person, appearing as a gentleman on the surface, was even more villainous deep down?"Sanctimonious wretch!"Thinking of this, Rao Yaoyao's beautiful face flushed red as she spat out her rebuke.
At that moment, she finally cast aside all reservations.If she couldn't personally slay Mei Yiren to avenge those who had fallen into miserable fates afterward, she felt unworthy to remain the chief warden of the Hong Yi.
Here!Including everything before this!All of it should be settled with a single sword!
"Mei Yiren."Rao Yaoyao suppressed her fiery gaze, drew her sword, and pointed it at that old fox disguised in sheep's clothing. "Do you dare to fight me?"
Xu Xiaoshou watched as Rao Yaoyao was provoked by a few words, seeming on the verge of losing her reason.He lowered his head and glanced at Mei Yiren's right hand, which steadily shook the folded fan, while his left hand, holding the Tai Cheng Sword behind his back, trembled slightly.Xu Xiaoshou sighed inwardly, understanding why.In all the time he had spent with Mei Yiren, he had never seen the man show such a "deceptive" expression or harbor such hostility toward someone.But why go to this extent?Just for Rao Yaoyao, so she could draw her sword against her teacher without hesitation.Yet behind the scenes, you bore it all alone?Then he thought again—Wasn't this the protection a teacher offers a student?The ancient saying goes, "One day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father."For Mei Yiren, "One day as a student, a lifetime as a daughter" might be an exaggeration, but that bond was surely something he couldn't easily sever.
Facing the Xuan Cang Divine Sword pointed directly at him, Mei Yiren stood still for a long time, unable to draw his sword.He was prepared, but at this moment, he found it hard to act.At that point, Xu Xiaoshou suddenly felt he should take on this battle for his teacher.Even though he knew his full strength couldn't match the Feng Sheng-ed Rao Yaoyao.But how difficult must this be for his teacher?From the beginning, Mei Yiren hadn't come here to fight—this wasn't his mission.He was only here to teach swordsmanship, and his involvement in the No. 2 conflict was all because of Xu Xiaoshou.Or perhaps, due to some true elder's secret arrangements, he was forced into the battle.Mei Yiren wasn't a pure Sheng Nu member.He had his own battles, things he couldn't fight, principles he upheld, and needed to continue upholding, without fully merging with the Sheng Nu.
"But I'm different!""In their eyes, I'm already a puddle of filthy sludge."Xu Xiaoshou's gaze turned resolute. "Well then,I can also test what I've learned."Without overthinking, he stepped forward, drawing the You Si Sword and Yan Mang.He wanted to face Sword Saint Rao Yaoyao.Whether he could win was another matter; surviving a few strikes would be a test of his recent training.
But just then, someone moved even faster than him."Rao Yaoyao, long time no see."Xiao Kongdong, wearing Ba Zun'an's face, coincidentally blocked Xu Xiaoshou's path, shielding Rao Yaoyao's line of sight with his own body.
Xu Xiaoshou paused, realizing what was happening.He could think of those things about Mei Yiren, and so could Xiao Kongdong. From Xiao Kongdong's perspective, letting a newcomer like Xu Xiaoshou fight a Sword Saint was impossible and unacceptable.So, the best choice here was for him to step up and take the sword meant for Mei Yiren.Thus, he stepped forward, without hesitation.
"Move aside!"Rao Yaoyao didn't shift her gaze, staring fixedly at Mei Yiren."So distant?"Ba Zun'an smiled. "Since we parted at the Tenth Zun Seat, this should be our first meeting, right? No small talk, and you're already eager to commit patricide?"
These last two words seemed to jolt Rao Yaoyao awake.Rao Yaoyao glanced deeply at Mei Yiren one more time, her expression complex, before finally shifting her gaze to Ba Zun'an.At the same time, the Xuan Cang Divine Sword pointed toward Ba Zun'an.
Ba Zun'an's brow twitched, but he said nothing more."We've met before, no need for pleasantries. Let's clash swords."Rao Yaoyao spoke coldly, analyzing who this person could be."Oh?"Ba Zun'an raised an eyebrow. "We've met before?""In Dong Tian Wang City, didn't you meet me once?"Rao Yaoyao felt she could confirm this person's identity."Maybe you've got the wrong person?"Ba Zun'an said, reaching out to tap the Xuan Cang Divine Sword aimed at him. "And this is quite rude."Buzz!The Xuan Cang Divine Sword hummed violently.Rao Yaoyao felt a force surge through the sword's blade.Its unyielding sharpness nearly sliced her palm and pierced into her Qi Sea."Jian Nian?"Rao Yaoyao's eyes narrowed sharply as her sword intent erupted, lifting her three thousand strands of hair and fluttering her skirt.That Jian Nian trying to invade her body was instantly repelled, shooting into the sky and vanishing into the spatial fragments."Buzz, buzz, buzz..."Yet the Xuan Cang Divine Sword trembled violently, no longer obeying her, as if it wanted to slip from her grasp or turn against its master.
This scene shocked everyone on the island.They said the Eighth Jian Xian could subdue a spirit sword with a single glance, but could he do the same to Sword Saint Rao Yaoyao's Xuan Cang Divine Sword?"This is way too strong—is this 'Guan Jian Shu'?""That silver Jian Nian just now—was that the second-generation Che Shen Nian, Jian Nian?""Patricide? The Eighth Jian Xian just mentioned patricide—what's going on? Is Rao Jian Xian a student of Mei Yiren?""I don't know, but you're mistaken now. We should call her Rao Jian Sheng and Mei Jian Sheng."
The murmurs from below didn't distract Rao Yaoyao. She gently applied pressure, suppressing the Xuan Cang Divine Sword's tremors and regaining control."Your Jian Nian is on a much lower level."Rao Yaoyao lifted her eyes, a mocking smile at her lips. "Tell me, who are you really? Don't make me expose your disguise myself."
"Cough, cough."Ba Zun'an's face remained unchanged as he lightly coughed twice.It was clear he was no longer at his peak; his condition wasn't as polished as his appearance suggested.He didn't respond, only sighing with a touch of regret:"Not bad, you've finally grown."
This sounded almost like a senior praising a junior, startling the onlookers on the island.But Rao Yaoyao wasn't provoked.Emerging from Mei Yiren's deception, she refocused on the bigger picture.Mei Yiren wasn't important, and neither was Ba Zun'an.What mattered was that No. 2 was gone, Yan Wuse was controlled, and she was alone now.The priority wasn't fighting but freeing Yan Wuse from the San Cai Jian.
"Did you set up this San Cai Jian?"Rao Yaoyao pressed with her gaze."Who else but me?"Ba Zun'an chuckled lightly."Then you've regressed a lot. Even a mere San Cai Jian needs someone else's Xin Jian Shu imagery to complete.""Maybe."Ba Zun'an neither confirmed nor denied.Seeing how unyielding he was, Rao Yaoyao's eyes turned colder as she sneered:"Your Jian Nian has dropped more than one level, and your San Cai Jian has regressed to a beginner's level. Your outer appearance is well-maintained...But I heard from Gou Wuyue that you're sealing your sword for Hua Changdeng!""Sealing your sword—I get why you use Xin Jian Shu, but Jiu Jian Shu was always your weakest point. Can you even use San Cai Jian?""Can't you? So you've unsealed it here?"Rao Yaoyao glanced around, a hint of amusement in her eyes. "After sealing your sword for so many years, is this your progress? Not even reaching the Jian Sheng level?"
These words were sharp enough to make Xu Xiaoshou feel that Xiao Dakou's identity was about to be revealed."Nominal disciple.""Ah, then I've messed up!"Voices buzzed with excitement and chaos.Yet none of the discussions, nor Rao Yaoyao's direct exposure, caused any disruption in Ba Zun'an's expression as he hovered in the air.Instead, he bent his index and middle fingers, tapping his chin thoughtfully. "Interesting.""Your reasoning does have a sliver of possibility.""Rao Yaoyao, it's been years, and you've truly grown a lot."
Xu Xiaoshou was genuinely impressed by Xiao Dakou's composure.If not for confirming the identity through Jian Nian, he might have doubted if Rao Yaoyao's mind was clouded again.He stealthily shifted a step, hiding behind Mei Yiren.It seemed the confrontation between his teacher and Rao Shijie wouldn't erupt soon. With No. 2 gone and Yan Wuse temporarily contained, if the enemy was only Rao Yaoyao, maybe they could turn the situation around?Silently, Xu Xiaoshou's figure shifted imperceptibly.
"Still pretending?"Faced with the repeated deceptions, Rao Yaoyao responded with a cold laugh.She was no longer the old Rao Yaoyao. Without further words, she raised the Xuan Cang Divine Sword and struck through the air."Wind Rising Stance, Qing Wen Jian Gang!"
A sudden gale howled on Void Island, kicking up endless sand and startling the nine heavens' clouds.Violent forces converged, enhanced by the Xuan Cang Divine Sword, forming nine streaks of azure Jian Gang.Whoosh!The wind whistled as the Jian Gang targeted Ba Zun'an."It's here! It's here!"The island's crowd thrilled at the swift escalation but quickly retreated, clearing the battlefield and staying clear of the storm's center.The roaring hurricane tornado shot into the sky, enveloping thousands of li.Before the Jian Gang even arrived, Ba Zun'an's cheeks and robes were sliced by the wind-based Sheng Li and the Xuan Cang Divine Sword's edge from afar.
"Xiao Kongdong, besides you and Wen Ting, who else in the world knows Jian Nian?""If you dare fight back, I'll raze Can Yue Xian City to the ground one day!"Rao Yaoyao was almost certain of his identity, attacking while undermining his resolve.She lifted the Xuan Cang, and images of red dust mortals rose from the battlefield ruins on all sides."Red Dust: Break Illusion!"With a thunderous boom, the world shattered like a mirror.Rao Yaoyao's sword intent bloomed like lotuses under her feet, stunningly beautiful yet fiercely violent.The magnificent storm wave instantly shattered the vulnerable Huan Jian Shu of the "Ba Zun'an."Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!The void hurricane swept in, Sheng Li like a tsunami.As the storm swirled, Qing Wen Jian Gang struck one after another from all directions, aiming at "Ba Zun'an."Clang, clang, clang...Crisp sword cries echoed continuously.Now the island's Lian Ling Shi saw clearly—the so-called Eighth Jian Xian couldn't withstand Sword Saint Rao Yaoyao's attacks at all.Each Jian Gang forced him back, his Shi Duan Jian Zhi utterly unable to block.
Swoosh!Finally, as the red dust mortals appeared, the Eighth Jian Xian fell into the red dust cycle. Though only for a moment, that instant of vulnerability let the Jian Gang slash his body, spilling blood like petals.The Eighth Jian Xian spat out blood with a "puff," his face shocked, his imposing image shattered.Until then, everyone was fully convinced.This weak opponent couldn't possibly be the Eighth Jian Xian!Rao Yaoyao's face was cold as frost as she held the Xuan Cang Divine Sword diagonally, ready to press her advantage. Before Feng Sheng, perhaps the opponent's Huan Jian Shu, Shi Duan Jian Zhi, and Jian Nian could have threatened her somewhat.But now, under the absolute gap in power, it was an insurmountable chasm.They were both geniuses.Both could fight above their levels.Yet now, they were on another starting line, and the difference between dwarf and giant was like mud and clouds.
Just as Rao Yaoyao raised her sword to strike, a sigh echoed from the horizon:"Rao Jian Sheng, you say you'll fight, so fight, but why drag Can Yue Xian City into your mud? I didn't want to show up."The voice spread instantly, leaving Rao Yaoyao stunned as she turned.In the distant sky, a figure in white robes appeared, dressed as a swordsman, elegant and refined.Rao Yaoyao's thoughts exploded, momentarily forgetting to act.What was happening?This guy—Can Yue Xian City, Xiao Kongdong?How was that possible? Then who had she just fought?
Some people die but don't truly die...After endless unconsciousness, Shi Yu suddenly sat up in bed. He wanted to see the content.He gasped for fresh air, his chest heaving.Confusion, bewilderment, and various emotions surged within him.Where was this?Shi Yu instinctively surveyed his surroundings, only to grow more perplexed.A single-person dormitory?Even if he had been rescued successfully, he should be in a hospital room.And his body... how could it be completely unharmed?With doubts swirling, Shi Yu's eyes quickly scanned the room, finally landing on a mirror by the bed.The mirror reflected his current appearance: about seventeen or eighteen years old, quite handsome.His previous self had been a spirited young man in his twenties, already working for a while.But now, he looked no older than a high school student...This change left Shi Yu stunned for a long time.Please don't tell him the surgery was successful...His body and face had completely changed; this wasn't about surgery at all, but something like immortality arts.He had totally become another person!Could it be... he had transmigrated?Besides the mirror, which was suspiciously placed for bad feng shui, Shi Yu spotted three books nearby.Picking them up, the titles made him fall silent."Beginner's Guide to Beast Taming""Postpartum Care for Pet Beasts""Appraisal Guide for Exotic Beast-Eared Girls"Shi Yu: ???The first two titles were normal enough, but what about the last one?"Cough."Shi Yu composed himself and reached out, but his arm froze stiffly.Just as he tried to open the third book to see what it was, a sharp pain hit his brain, and a flood of memories rushed in.Bing Yuan City.Pet Beast Breeding Base.Intern Pet Beast Breeder. The website is about to close; download the Ai Yue app for "I Have a Body Full of Passive Skills" by the great god who stays up late eating apples.Yu Beast Master?
