Brother, how come you're a witch?

Therefore, apart from Ji Yi, who was in a hurry to go back and help the sow give birth, everyone had no objection to the current arrangement.

Chen Yixing grabbed Xu Qinglan and left without waiting.

The remaining Ji Yi looked unwilling and miserable, while Liu Baishuang, with her beautiful eyes coldly glancing at someone, and Su Yan pretending nothing had happened.

"Ugh."

Ji Yi sighed deeply:

"Junior Sister Liu, this one..."

"Su Yan".

"Oh, Junior Brother Su, please come with me, I'll show you around the Spirit Beast Peak."

The "inside" refers to the part of each immortal peak that is not open to the public. Outsiders cannot enter unless they are accompanied by an internal cultivator.

Chen Yixing hoped to persuade Su Yan to join the Spirit Beast Peak by giving him a site visit, and Liu Baishuang was brought along as well, so that Ji Yi could also tell her how to raise a spirit beast.

"Junior brothers and sisters, please look. This is the constant temperature incubation array of this peak. It can incubate three hundred spirit beast eggs at a time. By finely controlling the temperature at different incubation stages, it can ensure that on average, one mutated spirit beast will hatch from each batch of spirit beast eggs."

Wow, that's amazing.

"Indeed, it is far more profound than the sword formation technique of controlling three hundred swords at once."

"Junior brothers and sisters, please take a look. This is a spirit field that our peak has jointly cultivated with Yunling Peak. The spirit beast manure is specially treated and used as fertilizer to grow spirit beast feed, which can increase the yield per mu by 1,800 and achieve a relative self-circulation of resources."

"That's amazing."

"That's right, unlike us sword cultivators, who only consume resources and never recycle them."

"Junior brothers and sisters, please look. This is the spirit beast breeding garden of this peak. It can accommodate 3,600 spirit beasts. However, Master strongly opposes this, believing that such a crowded growth environment is not conducive to the mental health of the spirit beasts."

"As expected of Elder Chen."

"Yes, we sword cultivators also love flying swords, but we only keep them in small scabbards and never care whether they have enough space. Maybe sword cultivators are just not as good as spirit beast masters."

"..."

Su Yan's eye twitched.

He showered him with praise and emotional support throughout the journey, but there was always a sarcastic voice behind his back.

However, Ji Yi didn't notice anything amiss. Instead, she thought her two junior brothers and sisters were kind people who, despite being sword cultivators, loved to tell the truth and were never biased.

"Haha, not at all, not at all. Sword cultivation is still quite good."

Ji Yi scratched her messy hair:

"Hey, Junior Sister Liu, didn't you want to raise spirit beasts? Why don't you pick one out in this breeding garden and see if there's one you like? My pig is about to give birth, I'm going back to help deliver it, I'll be right back."

After saying that, she immediately tried to leave.

"Senior sister, wait!"

Su Yan quickly stopped her. He'd given her so much emotional support despite the pressure from Liu Baishuang; she deserved some return.

"I've seen all the facilities at Spirit Beast Peak, and they're excellent. But I'm more interested in the atmosphere of the sect. I'd like to ask how many direct disciples there are on the peak, and whether they're all there. I'd like to pay them a visit."

"Oh, there are twenty disciples in total. If you want to pay them a visit, just go. They've all been out for months like me, so they're all here."

After Ji Yi finished speaking, she waved her hand and hurriedly left.

Haven't been out for several months?

Su Yan was slightly taken aback. If this information was correct, wouldn't it mean that the Heavenly Demon spy was not a direct disciple of the Spirit Beast Peak?

Could it be an ordinary inner disciple of the Spirit Beast Peak, or a spirit beast master from another immortal peak? Either way, it's troublesome.

Su Yan frowned, lost in thought, and when he came to his senses, Ji Yi had already disappeared.

Besides the large group of spirit beasts, only he and Liu Baishuang remained in the breeding garden. He then remembered that he had ignored the little demon girl all the way and needed to explain himself quickly.

Su Yan looked around and found that Liu Baishuang had gone far away at some point. She was now squatting in front of a cage, poking at the little oriole inside with a twig.

The little oriole held its head high with pride, unmoved by Liu Baishuang's poking. Finally, annoyed, it reluctantly let out a beautiful chirp.

Liu Baishuang's cold gaze finally softened a little, taking on a touch of warmth.

He really does have a bit of a brat vibe...

Su Yan thought to himself as he walked over to Liu Baishuang and gently squatted down beside her.

"Senior Sister Liu, do you want to raise a spirit beast?"

"Um."

Liu Baishuang responded sullenly, without even glancing at him.

Hearing the affirmative answer, Su Yan felt a little relieved. He had been worried that the Heavenly Demon spy had already made his move and lured Liu Baishuang to his hiding place.

"And what about you? You're not training in swordsmanship, but in beast taming?" Liu Baishuang pressed her fingers against a tree branch and performed a simple sword technique.

"I... just wanted more options. Look, even with such good conditions, I didn't immediately agree. If I can successfully establish my foundation, I will definitely still be a sword cultivator. My loyalty to the sword path is as clear as day."

Su Yan patted his chest solemnly.

"snort."

Liu Baishuang pursed her lips. She knew it was a lie, but she knew she wouldn't get Su Yan's true purpose by asking him in her real identity. She would just have to wait until she was Li Changsheng to find out.

So she put down the branch and slowly turned her eyes:

"Tell me, does Ye Jingqiu have any weaknesses?"

"...So sudden."

"My master told me to ask. If I didn't say I wanted to find out Ye Jingqiu's weaknesses, she wouldn't have let me come out with you all alone."

Liu Baishuang muttered to herself, raising a delicate eyebrow:

"So tell me quickly, so I can go back and report."

"this......"

Su Yan frowned, unable to think of any weakness the Little Sword Ancestor might have. Suddenly, an image of her small feet, wrapped in white ice silk socks, stepping on the ground last night flashed through his mind, and he said, almost as if possessed:

"She slipped."

"What kind of weakness is cunning?" Liu Baishuang frowned, feeling that Su Yan was trying to fool her.

"It's not that she's cunning, it's that her feet are very slippery. She likes to wear a kind of very thin white ice silk stockings, but it's not very noticeable to the naked eye. Those stockings are delicate and slippery, which can affect her footwork in sword fighting, and could be considered a weakness."

Su Yan explained.

"Eh—"

Liu Baishuang narrowed her eyes, but her focus was quite strange:

"If you can't tell with the naked eye, how do you know she likes to wear it?"

"..."

"She showed it to you?"

"That was an accident."

Su Yan suddenly felt that the little demoness's eyes had changed, and an invisible pressure rose up from behind her.

What a brilliant Ye Jingqiu!

Did she perhaps see the message Su Yan sent to "Li Changsheng" saying that I looked good in white stockings, so she put them on herself?

Not only did she wear it, she also showed it off to Su Yan!

What despicable and underhanded competitive tactics! Are you trying to steal Su Yan away from me? Are you trying to hinder my grand plan to acquire future intelligence and become stronger?

I absolutely will not allow it!

Liu Baishuang gritted her teeth secretly, then suddenly grabbed Su Yan's wrist:

"If you don't specify which type of white stockings you're referring to, it's difficult for me to judge how slippery they are, let alone pinpoint their weaknesses."

"I don't understand this either," Su Yan said helplessly, indicating that he only liked watching it but didn't understand the intricacies of it.

"Oh~ so, is this it?"

Liu Baishuang's eyes flickered slightly as she lifted the hem of her skirt covering her thighs, revealing a section of her thigh that was as white as solidified jade.

As her skirt was lifted, it was pulled up so high that it almost revealed the top of her slightly fleshy thighs. Above the top of her thighs was a shadow, with only a faint, blurry pink color, making it difficult to see clearly.

Su Yan's gaze froze. At such close range, Liu Baishuang's exposed legs revealed such a large area that he finally saw clearly that the little demoness's legs were also covered with a layer of delicate white silk.

It turns out the little vixen didn't stop wearing white stockings; she just switched to ultra-thin ones.

Is this the latest trend among female cultivators?

Su Yan was completely baffled, and could only swallow hard before saying:

"It looks somewhat similar."

"Then feel it and see if it is or not."

"Wait, actually I didn't..."

Su Yan was about to say that he had never touched Ye Jingqiu's white silk, but Liu Baishuang had already grabbed his wrist and placed his hand on her thigh without saying a word.

It feels delicate to the touch, warm like jade, or like solidified beef tallow jelly.

Su Yan's words caught in his throat, and he didn't continue speaking. He clearly saw that the little demoness's cheeks were slightly flushed in the night.

This... she's really going all out to find Ye Jingqiu's weakness. These two are truly sworn enemies.

"H-how is it?"

Liu Baishuang's voice was somewhat hesitant, her eyes shimmering, she dared not look Su Yan in the eye, only lowering her gaze to stare at his hands:

"Is Ye Jingqiu wearing this kind of white stocking?"

Su Yan licked his lips, feeling that since the little vixen had gone to such lengths, it would be unreasonable for him not to offer some constructive advice.

So he placed his hand on Liu Baishuang's thigh and gently stroked it up and down, while carefully observing her with his eyes.

"Hmm, um..."

Liu Baishuang gently bit her silver teeth and let out a very soft moan.

Su Yan's hands, which he had used to wield a sword for many years and were not well cared for as a male cultivator, were somewhat rough. When he stroked her soft thighs, it gave her a jolt of electric shock.

"Yes, speaking only of the thigh area, they are very similar, but why does the color of yours darken below the knee, while Ye Jingqiu's is completely thin and transparent all the way to the feet?"

After careful observation, Su Yan offered his comments.

Ye, Ye Jingqiu, that guy, even showed his feet?

Liu Baishuang's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her breathing became a little rapid. She never expected her opponent to be so shameless as to go to such lengths.

Then she too...

"Yes, really? The color could be caused by several factors, such as the weave, how it's worn, and the dyeing process. Just looking at that isn't enough to be completely sure if the two pairs of socks are the same... Slippery."

Liu Baishuang pursed her lips, sniffed, and took a deep breath; her heart pounded.

"We need to see it in conjunction with touch to know, and whether it will affect your gait depends not on your legs, but on your feet, so... please... take a look."

"?"

Su Yan was stunned for a moment. The little demoness's last few words were so soft that he hadn't heard them clearly.

Then you see Liu Baishuang's slender fingers hooking onto the heel of her white cloud-patterned boots.
