Who let him join the Sword Sect!

Chapter 383 Don't forget me, and don't forget Fu Ji either.

"Who exactly is the White Emperor?" Zhang Ze asked Sister Wang.

Faced with Zhang Ze's question, Sister Wang smiled but did not answer, only pointing behind her.

"Go out and turn right, go downstairs, and you'll find the room with the white door."

"She knows more than I do. If you have any questions, just ask her."

"Fine, asking a question is like passing through a level." Zhang Ze jumped down from the windowsill.

After Zhang Ze pushed open the door and left, Sister Wang beckoned with her finger, intending to secretly follow him to see what kind of old man Bai Di was, but she was pulled back by a chain.

"Don't cause trouble."

Holding the three egg yolks in her arms, Sister Wang looked out the window at the night sky.

There are no complicated rituals, no unnecessary battles, and no superfluous puzzles.

Just as Sister Wang said, go out, turn right, and go down the stairs, that's all.

Zhang Ze arrived at the unmarked white door.

It's easy to find because there's only one door on the entire floor.

"Hey, who's that? Bai Di, right? I'm coming in." Zhang Ze stood in front of the white door for a long time before finally reaching out and knocking.

There was no response, but a small crack appeared in the white door.

Pushing open the pristine white door, Zhang Ze's vision blurred, and he felt a sudden weightlessness beneath his feet, as if he had been teleported to some other place.

A moment later, birdsong reached Zhang Ze's ears, followed by the smell of earth and weeds.

Zhang Ze opened his eyes and found himself transported to another place.

With a point an inch in front of my toes as the boundary, here is a silver-white metal corridor, and ahead lies a meadow in early autumn.

This grassland looks somewhat familiar.

Zhang Ze stepped into the area, parted the withered and yellowed weeds, walked up the small hill in front of him, and then looked westward.

It is Baiyu County.

Zhang Ze felt a tightness in his throat.

Baiyu County, surrounded by mountains, was quiet. The streets were deserted. Although it was already sunset, there was not a single light on the house except for the county magistrate's office in the east of the city.

Death is not the opposite of life, but exists forever as a part of life.

Zhang Ze suddenly remembered this sentence. The last time he thought of this sentence was on this very earthen slope.

Although it had been suspected for some time,
An indescribable feeling welled up inside Zhang Ze, and he quickly ran down the hillside.

He wanted to get there immediately, but he also hoped the road would never end.

Promise me one thing: after I die, please forget me forever...

Pushing open the gate, no one greeted him.

Walking through the corridor, there was no one in sight.

It wasn't until Zhang Ze walked around the empty garden and arrived at the small courtyard with its blue tiles and white walls that he heard clanging sounds coming from the kitchen in the courtyard.

Upon entering the courtyard, Zhang Ze pushed open the kitchen door.

The kitchen walls were mottled, but it was kept very bright and spacious. A girl wearing a white cross-collar short shirt stood by the stove. She took off a cloud-shaped hairpin and bit it between her lips. Her black hair fell down and she quickly tied it into a cloud-shaped bun.

After tidying her hair, the girl wrapped a gray apron around her waist. As she moved, the cuffs were stained with the fragrance of early osmanthus, and the jade bracelet on her wrist clinked against the celadon salt jar, its clinking sound awakening the slumbering ashes in the stove.

Three pine needles, clustered together, were inserted into the stove's firebox. A gentle blow from the tinderbox sent golden-red flames climbing up along the resinous veins. The girl's eyelashes were bathed in warm light, and her eyes, like autumn water beneath distant mountain brows, reflected a shimmering light.

As the pine wood crackled and popped, and the room grew warmer, she flicked her wrist and poured half a ladle of spring water into the pot.

Zhang Ze didn't disturb them, but just leaned against the door and quietly watched. He could never get enough of the scenery in the kitchen.

On the cutting board, the fresh green chives were as vibrant as jade, and the girl wielded her knife with swift, precise strokes.

It was cut like a dog chewed it.

Finally unable to hold back any longer, Xiangxiang threw down the kitchen knife and said coquettishly, "How much longer are you going to watch! You know I can't cook!"

Xiangxiang's cooking skills are limited to lighting a fire and boiling water, even after she becomes the White Emperor.

Only she can make this famous dish of boiled chives with garlic.

"Pfft."

Zhang Ze couldn't help but laugh, and only after he laughed until tears streamed down his face did he finally respond.

"I'm coming."

Wiping away his tears, Zhang Ze stepped into the kitchen, came up behind Xiangxiang, and wanted to hold her hand as he had done years ago, to teach her how to cut vegetables with a knife.

However, Zhang Ze's hand passed right through Xiangxiang's body.

The smile froze on his face.

There was no sense of reality; it was not a departed soul, but merely a projection.

Like a vain fantasy.

Xiangxiang sighed, took a step back, and passed through Zhang Ze's body.

"I am a mortal. If I want to wait for you here, I need to pay a necessary price."

Xiangxiang crossed her arms in front of her and looked at Zhang Ze's back as she spoke.

Steam rises from the bamboo steamer, the fire in the stove still crackles, and the moon hangs high above the branches outside the window, casting a hazy, dreamlike glow in the flickering light and shadow.

The scent of pine wood in the stove grew stronger, and the dampness of the earth and the smell of wild grass rose to Zhang Ze's nose again. The birdsong started again, sometimes near, sometimes far.

The surrounding scenery began to crumble; the kitchen, the courtyard, and Baiyu County all vanished like bubbles of the past.

Zhang Ze stood in the pristine white circular metal hall and turned to look at Xiangxiang.

Xiangxiang stood in the center of the hall, dressed in a flawless white dress. Countless tiny lights flickered and danced around her, vaguely reminding Zhang Ze of the smoke and pine resin in the kitchen.

Zhang Ze stepped forward, reached out, and tried to touch her face, but his hand passed right through Xiangxiang's body, creating a ripple.

"Sorry, this is just a projection." Xiangxiang looked at Zhang Ze gently.

"Then where are you?"

“I’m right here.” Xiangxiang raised her hand and pointed to the white walls around her.

"Now, I am Baidi City, and Baidi City is me."

Zhang Ze opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know how to start speaking.

Seeing Zhang Ze's complicated expression, Xiangxiang gently cupped Zhang Ze's face in her hands.

"Can you hug me first? Even if it's just a fake hug."

"After all, I've stayed here for so long."

“Hmm.” Zhang Ze reached out and embraced the phantom in front of him.

Time almost stood still at this moment, until
Until a drop of sticky, soft, wet blue slime emerged from Zhang Ze's sleeve.

The slimy mold fell onto the silvery-white metal ground, silently rolled to one side, and a moment later a small blue mushroom sprouted.

She is a fujoshi, an omnipresent fujoshi who is always secretly watching everyone from the shadows.

However, this time, Fuhime did not act on her own initiative, but came prepared on orders from her superior.

Mushroom Egg Roe Princess looked up at Zhang Ze, who was embracing Xiang Xiang, and took a deep breath.

She exhaled a bubble containing mycelium.

Then...

"Hey everyone! Come quick! Zhang Ze is hugging another woman!"

A clear, melodious voice echoed and reverberated throughout the white hall.
The Great Wall of the Northern Frontier, the third-phase cultivation base for Tai Sui.

Lily paced back and forth in the room with a lollipop in her mouth, glancing at the little walnut in her hand, then at the clock on the wall, and then mischievously rubbing the head of the furry dog.

He muttered to himself as he walked, behaving like a commander in a grand battle.

"Don't panic. The advantage is in our hands now. The entire Eastern Continent is united, and the demon race warmly welcomes us wherever we go in the Northern Territory. We have the upper hand. This vibrant life force and the flourishing of all things are right before our eyes."

"Boss's solo journey to the meeting may seem dangerous, but it is indeed dangerous. Fortunately, I, the invincible Lily, have considered everything carefully and made perfect plans, preparing a trump card for Boss in advance."

"I have a mole I left by the boss's side, the ace spy Fu Ji No. 007."

"Even if the White Emperor has some ulterior motives, as long as he uses the name of the Rotten Princess, he can summon the East Wind and the Old Deng together!"

"In terms of the number of old Deng, the demon race only has one queen left, while all the great powers of my Eastern Continent are still here. No matter how you look at it, the advantage is on my side!"
"Hey Lily, why did you hit me, Peach!"

The eccentric Lily was hit squarely on the back of the head by Bai Tao's book-throwing move, knocking her to the ground.

Bai Tao said, "When you're talking badly about the demon race, can you please do it without my knowledge? Don't act like I don't exist, okay? Also, my aunt isn't dead; she's just still floating in the sky."

Lily muttered as she got up from the ground, "Wow, you can know a person's face but not their heart, okay? The White Emperor has been lurking in the shadows for thousands of years, and even your aunt Yu-jie doesn't know her true face. How do you know what the White Emperor is planning?"

"Perhaps Bai Di is only after the boss's body. This is all Bai Di's conspiracy. They are about to do something wicked!"

"That's why I secretly placed a small amount of Fu Ji on the boss. No matter where the boss is, Fu Ji can send a signal immediately!"

"The bond between the fujoshi will never fade!"

Lily said, pinching the lump of rotten chrysanthemum on the table.

Tuotuo Fuji lay sprawled in front of the television on the table, intently staring at the static on the screen, lost in the beautiful afterglow of the birth of the heavens, completely ignoring Lily's commotion.

The junior sister, sitting in a rocking chair, sighed. She put down her teacup and looked around for a suitable throwing tool.

She planned to calm Lily down for a while, as she was overly excited and obsessed with conspiracy theories.

After searching for a long time, the junior sister found that only Ah Li was suitable.

At this moment, Ah Li was lying on the ground, drooling, intently staring at the "List of Famous Demon Clan Weapons" in front of her.

'Hmm? What kind of weapon is this Nine-Turn Intestine Whip? What a weird name.'

No longer bothered by the strange magical artifacts of the demon race... Junior Sister picked up the whole thing, including Lili and the book, and aimed at Lily, who was wandering around the room.

Just as she was about to throw it, Fukihime, who was lying on the table intently watching the snowflakes, suddenly made a move.

She did a backflip and fell off the table.

She bounced twice on the ground after landing, and after making sure she had attracted everyone's attention, she took a deep breath.

A cloud of smoke, mixed with the dust of her robe, was exhaled by Tuotuo Fuji.

The smoke coalesced into bubbles, within which mycelium combined, and Zhang Ze's figure appeared within the bubbles.

At the same time, a clear and melodious voice emanated from the bubbles, echoing and reverberating throughout the room.
"Hey everyone! Come quick! Zhang Ze is hugging another woman!"

"Hey, don't talk nonsense! That's the White Emperor, not some other woman! Fu Ji, let me explain!" That was Zhang Ze's voice.

"Heh, I don't want to hear it, that's just nonsense! Zhang Ze and Bai Di are together!"

Mushroom Princess shouted as she ran away.

Watching the chaotic scene inside the bubble, Lily whistled, seemingly pleased about something.

The junior sister frowned as she looked at Zhang Ze inside the bubble, watching him frantically chase after the mushroom-shaped rotten princess.

Looking at the white figure behind him.

His expression grew increasingly complicated.

Bai Tao, with an expression of watching a show unfold, adjusted her glasses and picked up a small walnut, seemingly jotting down inspiration.

Something like "The Domineering Empress Falls in Love with Me"...

Lily, seeing that the funeral was not too extravagant, crept up to her junior sister with the demeanor of a treacherous minister and offered her advice.

"My lord, please give the order immediately. Let the three of us old men summon the east wind three times. Your humble servant will then muster the troops, ride the dogs, and march north to personally slay this traitor for you."

Ah Li, who was still confused about what was going on, probably thought it was a good thing, so she raised her hand and said, "Count me in!"

"Wang!"

This is Momo. Although it doesn't know what happened, Momo knows that when everyone is making a fuss, it should just bark along with them.

At this point, she won't get hit on the head by the steel basin; even if she does get hit, it will be Lily who gets hit first.

The junior sister pushed Lily away, and after a long pause, she came to her senses. She shook her head to signal everyone to be quiet, then snapped her fingers to disperse the bubbles in the air. Just as Tuotuo Fuji was about to continue blowing bubbles for the live broadcast, she picked her up and put her back in front of the TV.

Looking at the snowflakes, Tuotuo Fuji quieted down.

Once everything was back to normal, she sat back in her rocking chair, pretending nothing had happened, and casually picked up a book to read.

"Read a book."

"Um..." Lily was about to say something, but was interrupted by her junior sister.

"Read a book!"

The junior sister repeated it again.

Seeing the sketchbook her junior sister was holding upside down, Lily obediently stepped aside, pretending that nothing had happened.

The junior sister's face, hidden behind the book, had a somewhat awkward expression—a mixture of happiness and discomfort.

In short, it's very awkward, extremely awkward.

The moment she saw the scene, she recognized the white-robed emperor as Xiangxiang.

She was happy because Xiangxiang was still alive. As a friend from a past life, the junior sister was happy about this.

But it's really awkward.

'I clearly won the revival match, I clearly had the advantage, the vibrant scene of life and everything thriving is still vivid in my mind, how could it all have changed so drastically in just one day?'

'Damn it, Lily is entirely to blame!'

The junior sister forced herself to calm down. The most important thing at this time is not to panic, not to be unreasonable, and not to make a scene.

In short, stay calm.

The junior sister turned the book she had been holding upside down back over, intending to read it first to calm herself down.

'Look at the title of this book.'

The book in the junior sister's hand was naturally written by Zhang Ze (copying, stitching). She looked closely and discovered its title was:
The Cultivation Rules of the Loser Sister

Ugh. What bad luck.

But don't panic.

The junior sister took a deep breath, turned to the next page, and decided to look at the failure cases first, hoping to find some wisdom from them.

'Let me see... Hmm, the book says that it's possible the green plum can't beat the one who suddenly appears, but it's unlikely the one who suddenly appears can't beat the green plum.'

'Let me think... In our past lives, we were both destined to meet, but I arrived first. And in this life too... wait, if Xiangxiang is the White Emperor, and my senior brother's awakening is related to her, then wouldn't she have arrived first?'

'Never mind, childhood sweethearts appearing out of nowhere are all the same. Let's look at the next case. Hmm... companionship and unwavering support are the most enduring expressions of love. Hmm, this...'

'Next, next.'

The junior sister flipped directly to the last story.

'Hiss... The white moonlight is invincible, and the deceased white moonlight is even more invincible. The white moonlight that is both dead and alive will reign supreme for eternity...'

The junior sister threw down the book, slapped her face, and suddenly felt that Xiangxiang was invincible.

A childhood sweetheart descends from the heavens, guarding the northern border for tens of thousands of years. A white moonlight who dies and comes back to life, gentle and innocent, she is lovable and a great help in achieving success. She is loved by all ages, from three to eighty.

This is so unfair!

And looking at it this way, I seem to be the one who won the revival round by doing nothing.

"Ah~~"

The junior sister writhed uncomfortably on the recliner.

Lily, who was hiding behind the cover, raised her head slightly and secretly peeked at her junior sister through the gaps in the bunch of sun-kissed green grapes in the fruit plate.

Lily, "White Peach, what do you think about this?"

Bai Tao said, "Watch quietly and don't get involved on either side. Bai Di has Sister Wang protecting him, and Xiao Qin has Aunt Mo protecting her. Getting too close to this matter could easily lead to bloodshed."

Ah Li, "Indeed."

————I was here first————

……

The residence of the White Emperor.

The atmosphere was completely ruined by Mushroom Head Fu Hime's meddling.

Having finally captured Mushroom Head Fuji and put her in a bottle, Zhang Ze looked up at Xiangxiang.

"What did you mean by what you just said? What do you mean by saying that Baidi City is you?"

Xiangxiang: "It means exactly what it says. Look, that's what I look like now."

The surrounding white metal walls descended as Xiangxiang waved her hand, revealing the true face of Baidi City to Zhang Ze.

Looking at the scene before him, Zhang Ze slapped his forehead.

Where did this come from? Is this still Dongzhou?

Where did this starship engine come from?
