Investiture of the Gods: Childhood Sweetheart Daji, Starting with Quasi-Saint Cultivation

Her reaction was very sincere; she was genuinely worried that Su Yunbai would be harmed because of her.

Su Yunbai felt a warmth in his heart, but he still had to keep up the act.

He waved his hand, revealing a carefree smile: "It's alright. Since I've already become entangled in the fairy's karma, if I can warn you in advance and help you avoid some dangers, it's worth it."

He looked at Bixiao with sincere eyes: "However, I need to touch the fairy's hand and use your aura as a guide before I can cast the spell."

Looking at Su Yunbai's serious eyes, and thinking of the tribulation energy on her body and the worries of her older sister and brother, Bixiao bit her lip.

"Then... then if you feel something is wrong, stop immediately! Don't force yourself!" She stretched out her hand, palm up, trembling slightly.

Su Yunbai nodded, extended his right hand, and gently grasped her palm.

It feels slightly cool and soft to the touch.

"Close your eyes, concentrate, and do not resist my magic," Su Yunbai whispered.

Bixiao closed her eyes as instructed.

Su Yunbai closed his eyes and silently said in his mind, "System, begin."

[Ding! Construction of the "Love Tribulation Illusion" has begun! Invoking the host's fundamental laws of love... simulating a touch of celestial secrets... constructing an illusion...]

Su Yunbai felt the vast power of the "Law of Emotion" within his body!

A small wisp was guided out by the system and began to operate in an extremely mysterious way.

This wisp of power flowed into Bixiao's body through their clasped hands!

It did not harm her, but rather triggered her subconscious fears and anxieties about the "future" and "calamity".

At the same time, the system will retrieve fragments of Su Yunbai's memories regarding the fate of the Three Immortals!

The Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, the Primordial Golden Bucket, Yunxiao being pressed down on the Qilin Cliff, and Qiongxiao and Bixiao dying on the list!

Shattered, blurred, and transformed into countless fragments of imagery filled with sorrow, resentment, anger, and despair.

These fragments, mixed with Bixiao's own emotions, exploded in her sea of ​​consciousness!

In the illusion:

Bixiao "saw" a boundless, turbid, and surging yellow river (the Yellow River with its nine bends).

On the river, three hazy yet familiar figures struggled desperately.

Golden light and clear light intertwined (the Primordial Golden Bucket and the Golden Dragon Scissors), yet they seemed to be bound by an invisible giant net.

Boundless sorrow and anger overwhelmed her like a river.

She seemed to hear her eldest sister's mournful shouts and her second sister's unwilling roars.

And then there's myself... that excruciating pain and darkness, as if I were being torn apart...

Finally, the gaze of supreme majesty and indifference descended...

Everything returned to deathly silence.

"No--!!!"

Bixiao suddenly opened her eyes, her face ashen white, her whole body trembling violently, her eyes filled with tears of utter horror.

Although the illusion was blurry, the unforgettable sorrow, despair, and terror were truly imprinted deep within her soul.

That's... their sisters' future?! That kind of ending?!

At the same moment that Bixiao was impacted by the illusion.

Su Yunbai then began his "performance" at just the right moment.

He groaned, his face turning ashen, and he tightened his grip on Bixiao's hand, his knuckles turning white.

Immediately afterwards, his body shuddered violently, and with a "pfft," a mouthful of shocking blood spurted out!

The splashes on the city wall's blue bricks were particularly dazzling in the afterglow of the setting sun.

After the blood spurted out, the vast and steady aura around him dissipated like a tide, becoming extremely chaotic and weak.

He swayed, staggered backward, and almost fell.

His face was deathly pale, bloodstains were bright red at the corners of his mouth, and his eyes were unfocused, as if he didn't even have the strength to stand up.

[Ding! The "Realistic Blood-Spitting Effect Pack" has been successfully used! The "Weakness Simulation" has been activated!]

[Note: Host's current condition: Outwardly appears severely damaged, with deficiency of both qi and blood, turbulent spirit, and unstable cultivation, requiring urgent recuperation. Actual condition: Healthy and can recover at any time.]

"Fellow Daoist Yunbai!" Bixiao awoke from the terror of the illusion and was terrified to see Su Yunbai coughing up blood and looking weak.

She rushed forward to support his swaying body, her voice trembling with tears, "What's wrong?! Are you...are you alright?!"

She sensed the chaotic and weak energy within Su Yunbai's body, and recalling the terrifying illusion from just now, she immediately understood!

He suffered a terrible backlash for trying to peek into the secrets of heaven!

Guilt, heartache, gratitude, lingering fear... all sorts of emotions overwhelmed Bixiao.

She frantically channeled her magic power, trying to channel it into Su Yunbai's body to stabilize his injuries!

However, he found that as soon as his magic entered his body, it was like a mud ox entering the sea, instead causing his breathing to become even more disordered.

"No...don't waste your magic power..."

"I...I'm fine...I just need to rest...I'll be better in a few days..."

He spoke with difficulty, and with each word, it seemed as if blood and foam were seeping from the corner of his mouth.

Her acting was superb.

"You're still saying you're fine after all this!"

"I'm sorry...it's all my fault...I shouldn't have let you take that risk..."

Looking at Su Yunbai's pale face, she felt a pang of heartache.

This "Fellow Daoist Yunbai," whom she had only known for a few days, was willing to pay such a price for her...

[Ding! Target 'Bixiao' has experienced a massive emotional shock! She feels extreme guilt, heartache, gratitude, and strong affection towards the host! Affection +25!]

[Ding! Successfully created the image of a tragic hero who would "sacrifice himself for his lord"! The relationship has undergone a qualitative change!]

[Current Affection Level: 70! (High Trust, Deep Gratitude, Strong Favor, Initial Romantic Feelings)]

[Warning: The target's emotions are fluctuating excessively. Please calm the target down and prevent them from taking any rash actions (such as immediately returning to the island for help).]

Affection level skyrocketed!

It jumped straight to 70!

Su Yunbai was secretly delighted, but on the surface he still maintained a "I'm very weak but I'm holding on" attitude.

"It's not your fault...it was...my own choice..."

"What...did you see just now?"

Bixiao's face paled even more, and fear lingered in her eyes.

"I...I saw a yellow river...and...and my eldest sister and second sister...we...seem...to be in a terrible state..."

"Is that...our future?"

Su Yunbai's voice was weak, "It's just... one possibility..."

"Heavenly secrets... are ever-changing... and may not necessarily come true... but... we must be vigilant..."

He put it cleverly.

This affirms the "realism" of the illusion!

It offered hope while also emphasizing the need for vigilance.

Bixiao nodded vigorously, tears welling up in her eyes again: "I understand... I will be careful... I will also tell my eldest and second sisters... Fellow Daoist Yunbai, what are you going to do now? I... I'll take you to find a doctor? Or... go back to Three Immortal Island? My eldest sister will definitely have a way!"

"No...no need..." Su Yunbai immediately stopped him. Go back to Three Immortal Islands? Wouldn't that give them away?

"I...I'll go back to the inn...to recuperate...and be fine...don't disturb...anyone..."

He must keep Bixiao by his side.

This was when she was most emotionally vulnerable and most dependent on him, making it the best time to deepen their bond.

"Okay! Okay! I'll help you back!"

The setting sun cast long shadows of the two of them.

The fairy in green, her face streaked with tears, supported the "severely injured" man in black, her steps faltering.

The imagery is poignant yet carries a strange sense of intimacy.
