Divine Seal: I am the Demon God Emperor's beloved granddaughter

Chapter 3 Slaying Demonic Beasts, Striking the Phoenix Tree, Startling the Starry Sky

Does he look like a bad guy?

Long Xingyu, not wanting to be seen as a bad guy, began to explain.

“I’m not a bad person. I’m your brother’s teacher. I also know that your mother’s name is Bai Yue, and you share the same surname as your mother, Bai Xi.”

Bai Xi, leaning against the door: ...

Now he looks even more like a bad guy.

"Bad people always claim they're not bad! You must be a bad person, you look like one, you've even found out all about my family! But let me tell you, we're not people to mess with. Are you leaving or not? If you don't, I'm calling for help."

In an effort to appear more like a nine-year-old, Bai Xi adopted a childlike and innocent approach, which infuriated Long Xingyu.

If he had even a slight liking for Long Haochen, he had absolutely no liking for Bai Xi, who resembled that man in some ways.

I really want to reply: You're the one who looks like a bad guy; your face looks like a bad guy's.

"I have no reason to harm a child like you who cannot cultivate. I am indeed your brother's teacher. You may not recognize me, but you should at least recognize this food, right?"

As Long Xingyu spoke, he took out a meal that was exactly the same as the one from a few days ago.

He thought that by doing this, Bai Xi would believe him.

But then they heard the sound of the door being bolted shut.

This was the first time in Long Xingyu's life that he had been treated like a bad guy. He was both angry and helpless. This kid was too vigilant.

Little did he know that Bai Xi was simply very sensitive to the emotions of others. She sensed his blatant malice towards her and naturally wouldn't engage in much interaction with him.

“Long Haochen told me that you have been weak since childhood and often get sick, which has prevented you from cultivating. He wanted to ask me if there was any way to improve your health and hopefully enable you to cultivate, which is why I came to you.”

Long Xingyu let out a long sigh and explained the purpose of his trip.

He knew Bai Yue wasn't home, and he only dared to come over when Bai Yue wasn't home.

He dared not see Bai Yue.

"I don't want to cultivate, I just want to be an ordinary herb-gathering girl. You should leave now!"

Bai Xi also disliked Long Xingyu. She would get upset whenever she saw him and would always try to get rid of him.

"You! You are a rotten tree that cannot be carved!"

Long Xingyu was furious. Sensing that Bai Yue would be returning soon, he hurriedly left.

The reason he didn't insist on Bai Xi cultivating was because there were very few female professionals on the continent, and some professions didn't even welcome women.

For example, Bai Xi's mother, Bai Yue, has never cultivated, yet she lives a perfectly good life.

In my personal opinion, the most important thing for a girl is to marry a good husband.

Just like Bai Yue.

But Bai Xi isn't his daughter, so he won't pay much attention to her!

Long Xingyu, who believed that girls didn't need to cultivate, was proven wrong in less than a day.

That was Long Haochen's weekly day of returning home. In order to test the effectiveness of his training, Long Xingyu specially arranged for him to train with a first-tier magical beast.

However, a small mistake occurred.

Long Haochen killed the first-tier scorpion-tailed lizard with his own strength.

However, that scorpion-tailed lizard already had a mate at a very young age.

Its mate, another, even more powerful scorpion-tailed lizard, came seeking revenge on Long Haochen.

"Chenchen!"

Bai Xi saw the scorpion tail heading towards the back of Long Haochen's head and immediately shouted, while also waving her right hand.

Long Haochen reacted instantly, dodging to the right and perfectly avoiding the attack.

"Damn it, this scorpion-tailed lizard is much stronger, it must be at least a high-level one, we have to run!"

After only one glance at the scorpion-tailed lizard, Long Haochen was about to pull Bai Xi away and run away.

He could handle a first-tier mid-level magical beast, which corresponds to 30-50 spirit points.

However, a first-tier high-level magical beast corresponds to 50-70 spiritual power points, which he cannot handle, not to mention that there is Bai Xi beside him who cannot cultivate.

However, the scorpion-tailed lizard is known for its extremely fast short-distance sprints, and the two of them simply couldn't outrun it. "You think I'm easy to bully, huh? I'll show you how."

Bai Xi has a bad temper, and being chased made her angry.

He immediately took out his ordinary bow and arrows, which he usually used for shooting birds for a treat, quickly turned around, and simultaneously drew three arrows and headed towards the scorpion-tailed lizard.

Two arrows were aimed at its eyes, and one arrow at its tail.

"That's a fluctuation of spiritual energy!"

Long Xingyu, who was about to make a move, retreated.

Watching those three ordinary wooden arrows, each carrying a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy, blind the scorpion-tailed lizard and sever its poisonous scorpion tail.

"Didn't Long Haochen say that his sister was too weak to cultivate? Did Long Haochen lie?"

This was Long Xingyu's first reaction upon seeing Bai Xi make her move.

But then he heard Long Haochen's voice filled with surprise.

"Xixi, you can actually cultivate! That's wonderful! You can cultivate too!"

Long Haochen also sensed the faint spiritual energy and was overjoyed.

He was happier than anyone else to see that Bai Xi had spiritual power.

He didn't care at all. When Bai Xi had no spiritual power, he was already beaten up by him. After Bai Xi had spiritual power, he was probably no match for Bai Xi. He probably wouldn't hear Bai Xi admit defeat and call him brother anymore.

"Yes, I can cultivate now. But let's not be too happy yet, it's not dead yet!"

Before the crisis is completely over, Bai Xi doesn't have time to explain so much.

"Where exactly is the weak point of this magical beast?"

Bai Xi initially thought it was the eyes and the scorpion tail, as these two things seemed very important, but she was wrong.

"In the abdomen."

Two voices sounded at the same time.

The Vermilion Bird in his mind, and Long Haochen, who knew about this, immediately answered.

Long Haochen also raised his bamboo sword towards the injured scorpion-tailed lizard.

With Long Haochen attacking from close range and Bai Xi attacking from a distance, the injured scorpion-tailed lizard was quickly dealt with by the brother and sister working together.

"Does this magical beast have some serious illness? Another one has appeared!"

While Long Haochen was dealing with the scorpion-tailed lizard's corpse, another magical beast arrived, infuriating the two of them who started cursing at the same time.

They didn't recognize this monster, but it looked much stronger than the last one.

"XiXi, this is very likely a peak first-tier magical beast."

Long Haochen explained in a deep voice, already feeling some fear in his heart, afraid that he wouldn't be able to protect Bai Xi.

They couldn't outrun even a first-tier high-level magical beast, so naturally they didn't think they could outrun a peak-level magical beast.

Do you still have a sword?

Bai Xi, however, reached out her hand to Long Haochen.

"Yes, is this okay?"

Long Haochen took out a similar bamboo sword from the blue-gold forget-me-not ring.

"A bamboo sword, just right."

Bai Xi took the bamboo sword and stared intently at the magical beast.

"Then try it on me. I just learned this sword technique."

"This sword is named, 'Strike the Wutong Tree'."

He channeled spiritual energy into the bamboo sword and, with unwavering courage, slashed at the demonic beast.

The bamboo sword emitted flames, resembling a phoenix in flight.

Long Xingyu, who had wanted to test their limits, was completely stunned.
