I only want to win over the fairy.

Bai Yi raised his eyes to look at the figure in front of him, and placed a soul imprint between the two of them.

This was his question to Xiao Jinxuan, and also a question to his master about whether he needed him or just a caged bird.

He knew that his master cared about him a lot, to the point of being somewhat distorted. As for how to correct his master's distorted thoughts, that was not important.

He decided to give the choice to Xiao Jinxuan, allowing her to go from someone whose wrong ideas needed to be corrected to someone who could decide what she needed. The latter didn't need to be right or wrong; she only needed to decide whether she needed someone who voluntarily stayed by her side or someone who was forced to stay by her side.

The inscription before her filled Xiao Jinxuan with fear once more, an indescribable fear. She was terrified of something that could arbitrarily decide the life and death of Bi Baiyi, yet she was also excited, excited that such a thing was right in front of her.

As long as she gets what she needs, Bai Yi will always follow her instructions, never disobey her, never leave her, and never let her feel the pain of being alone again.

Her world was already pitch black. No matter what color it was, in her world, it would eventually be stained black. Even she herself would eventually become a drop of ink and merge into that pitch-black world. So she didn't ask for more. She just wanted a little bit of other color to be willing to fall into this pitch-black world with her.

Xiao Jinxuan met Bai Yi's gaze. Her long, frost-blue hair was loose, and her icy blue eyes, which were as hard as ice, softened slightly, revealing a hint of tenderness.

Bai Yi was stunned.

The next moment, Xiao Jinxuan slowly stood up, got off Bai Yi, and used her slender fingers to remove Bai Yi's soul imprint, refining it without hesitation.

Now, Bai Yi's life and death are entirely in her control.

But this is just the beginning.

She took Bai Yi's soul imprint and placed it on her forehead. In an instant, her own soul was split in two. She transformed one of the parts into a soul imprint and injected it into Bai Yi's body.

Now, Bai Yi also holds the power over her life and death.

“You give me half of yourself, and I give you half of mine in return. I can force you to stay with me, and you can force me to let you go, so we cancel each other out.”

"Isn't this just going back to square one?" Bai Yi was both amused and exasperated; this was a situation he couldn't handle.

What exactly does this result mean?

"We have not returned to the beginning. As your master, I am born with the right to control you. A disciple has no right to disobey his master's orders, so you must stay by my side until the end of our lives," Xiao Jinxuan declared her command.

She knew she couldn't keep Bai Yi tied to Tianxuan Peak forever, so she only asked him to stay by her side.

However, she wasn't against the other person leaving, but only until she was absolutely certain she could protect them.

“I have recently touched the threshold of the Emperor Realm. Just one more step forward and I will be able to step into that realm. However, I cannot do it on my own before the path to becoming an Emperor opens. Therefore, I need your help in my cultivation.”

Bai Yi's power of reincarnation will allow her to advance even further.

After she becomes an emperor, her own soul will also grant Bai Yi a portion of her emperor-level power.

Chapter 107 You loser, get up and go smash the Supreme One!

What Xiao Jinxuan needed was never to take anything away from Bai Yi; she simply didn't want to lose anything more.

She doesn't need to control Bai Yi's freedom or life; she just needs him to live well, that's all.

[On February 7th, 1150 of the Wanxian Calendar, you made a pact with your master, Xiao Jinxuan, that once she reached the Emperor Realm, you could do whatever you wanted. In return, she would come to you daily to assist her in her cultivation, ostensibly to obtain and learn your power of reincarnation.]

The next morning, Xiao Jinxuan arrived at your cave early, bringing many precious ingredients to prepare a carefully made breakfast for you. Although the taste wasn't as good as what you made yourself, the heartfelt sentiment behind it gave it a unique flavor.

After breakfast, you begin your cultivation. She uses her own spiritual power to guide yours in dual cultivation, improving the quality and quantity of your spiritual power and deepening the fusion between her portion of your soul and yours. This greatly advances the progress of your spiritual and soul power. Meanwhile, you infuse the power of reincarnation into her body, enabling her to obtain the power of reincarnation by relying on the imprint containing half of your soul.

The exchange of souls has enhanced both your feelings and your strength.

At first, you were quite resistant to her coming to cook for you and take care of you every day, but gradually, you felt that being taken care of seemed pretty good. So you started to lie down and hand over all the daily tasks to your master, only taking care of guiding her in cultivating the power of reincarnation during cultivation.

As you spend more and more time together, under her guidance, you gradually begin to enjoy soaking in the hot springs for several hours every day. During your daily breaks from cultivation, you do nothing, think nothing, and simply lie down and sleep, keeping your mind in peak condition.

[You're becoming increasingly dependent on your master, and she enjoys taking care of you. It gives her a great sense of accomplishment, and she even enjoys seeing you struggle to survive without her. Your relationship is now becoming more and more like that of master and disciple, or even family.]

Bai Yi felt that he had been somewhat lazy lately, to the point that he didn't even want to eat.

"Master, have I become increasingly lazy lately?"

He leaned over the edge of the hot spring, turned his head to look at Xiao Jinxuan beside him, and spoke in a lazy and unmotivated tone.

Xiao Jinxuan denied it, saying, "Absolutely not, that's just your imagination."

Bai Yi fell into a brief silence. He was certain that his master was lying to him, so he retorted, "Lying is not a good thing."

"What does it matter?" Xiao Jinxuan chuckled. "It's no problem for a disciple to rely on his master more. In fact, you can rely on me even more, get closer to me, and entrust all your worries to me."

Taking care of people is a rather troublesome thing, but Xiao Jinxuan is happy to do it because it makes her feel the reassurance of being needed.

Yes, don't worry.

In the past, Bai Yi had always taken care of her. Even if Bai Yi grew tired of her one day and chose to leave, it wouldn't affect him at all, but for her, that situation would be absolutely fatal.

Especially when Bai Yi "died," she was truly desperate because she realized that she could do nothing but use her sword to slay demons.

She hated this feeling; she hated Bai Yi's death, and she hated Bai Yi slipping away from her.

She knew that Bai Yi was someone who liked to run around and would disappear without a trace if she wasn't careful. But she couldn't break his legs, so the only way was to make him unable to leave her.

She disliked taking care of people at all, but she liked having Bai Yi by her side all the time, watching him become helpless without her.

In May of the 1151st year of the Wanxian Calendar, Xiao Jinxuan's fat chicken, which she had raised for several years, finally broke through its juvenile stage and grew into a mature stage. However, only Su Qingyu on Tianxuan Peak knew about this.

In the desolate wilderness, Yu Gonghua looked at the messages one after another, and the entire tree fell into deep thought.

Bai Zai Tian never leaves his Xuan Peak residence. His daily activities consist of nothing but cultivation, soaking in hot springs, eating, and sleeping. Furthermore, with Xiao Jinxuan constantly by his side, any attempt to have a private conversation with him becomes incredibly difficult.

Damn it, how did Bai turn into this horrible state!

Where did Bai, who loved to wander around and couldn't wait to check out any secret realm that appeared in the Nine Provinces, plunder its resources, and kill anyone who caused trouble, go?

It must be that woman Xiao Jinxuan. She beat Bai to his knees and forced him to go back with her as a slave!

She suddenly felt a headache coming on.

Even in the simulation, my peak performance was only on par with Xiao Jinxuan. Not to mention that this simulated version of myself had just broken through childhood and was going to fight that woman. That would be like giving her nothing more than an easy target.

But it's alright, at least Qin Xin has self-destructed, so there's no need to worry about her giving birth to any troublesome offspring.

Since I'm already at Bai's house, it's practically like I've latched onto a powerful figure, so at least I don't have to worry about anything during my early development.

Wait until the late game, and watch me dominate!

The ancient demon race and the human race are still fighting. The supreme beings in the forbidden zones of life are still watching the show, waiting for the legendary path to immortality to open. The immortal sects throughout the Nine Provinces remain unchanged as always. Bai Yi is indulging in his complacency. This world is no different from before.

It seems that this land only shows a sliver of vitality when the Path to Emperorship is opened.

Heaven's Way: "...."

Tired, let's destroy it.

She is now considering whether to let the extraterrestrial demons in to give these beings a good workout and let them experience what a threat from beyond the realm is like.

What a bunch of trash teammates! They could arrive at any moment, yet you're still fighting amongst yourselves. Or do you insist on waiting for them to arrive and turn the world upside down before you'll obediently go and defend against the enemy?!

No, even with the current fighting power of all living beings in the world, it would be difficult to deal with the extraterrestrial demons, let alone them.

The Feather Palace Flower is a celestial beast with great potential, but unfortunately it is too weak.

Bai Yi was very strong when he developed, but unfortunately he's currently giving up.

The available power of heaven and earth is insufficient, so the path to becoming an emperor cannot be opened for the time being. We must either break the existing rules or wait until we have enough power of heaven and earth to open the path to becoming an emperor.

There are other creatures with great potential, but unfortunately, they are still somewhat inferior to the celestial beasts and Bai Yi when he has fully grown up.

If all else fails, we should just rely on Bai Yi's son; after all, he's an ultimate combatant.

Hmm, I feel like this is going to be dangerous. It's good that that guy and Bai Yi live in different eras, but if they were in the same era, once the truth is revealed, these two would definitely start fighting.

“…”

As she pondered the situation, she grew increasingly angry, and even began to curse some insects in her mind.

Damn forbidden zone supreme beings! If it weren't for these insects occupying too much of the power and essence of heaven and earth, we wouldn't be able to squeeze out such a tiny bit of the power of heaven and earth, allowing only one Emperor Realm expert to appear!

I've had enough! Bai Yi, get up and get to work! Let's go fuck those stupid Supremes to pieces!

Chapter 108 Heavenly Dao: More Money Required

The world's resources are limited. Some beings who are unwilling to die occupy a large amount of the world's resources, yet they make no contribution and dream of becoming immortals every day. How can this not anger the Heavenly Dao?

Not to mention that many of these beings already violated the rules of heaven and earth, but due to their special nature and power, they temporarily concealed their presence from her senses through various methods, preventing her from using lightning tribulation to kill these insects.

She is the Way of Heaven, not omniscient and omnipotent; everything she does must be in accordance with the rules.

Compared to a free-spirited being, she is more like a program. Before doing anything, she must be "approved." If she passes the approval, she can use a very small portion of the power of heaven and earth to do it. If she fails the approval, no matter how outrageous the other party's actions are, she cannot intervene.

Fortunately, he had previously merged with the White Emperor, and with everything the other party had given him by merging with the Heavenly Dao, he was able to gain some level of thinking ability beyond the program.

And as the number of simulations increased, this part of her thinking ability became increasingly agile.

"In reality, my interference would likely be considered an anomaly and eliminated for violating my own rules. However, in a simulation, I can boldly test the waters."

She's going to take on those Supremes.

However, before that, she needs to take the initiative to seek cooperation with Bai Yi. After all, relying solely on herself, she might not even be able to fight those supreme beings before she returns to her original form as the Heavenly Dao.

[You went to seek cooperation with Bai Yi. He wasn't too surprised by your sudden arrival, and he didn't even react much when you mentioned the extraterrestrial demons and unknown terrifying beings that were about to descend.]

You are puzzled by his nonchalant attitude. He should be quite concerned about something that could threaten the world, himself, and the lives of those close to him.

Bai Yi showed no interest in your topic, gave you perfunctory responses a few times, and then ignored you completely.

"Listen to me, they are about to arrive in this world. We must have the power to protect ourselves before they arrive," the Heavenly Dao, appearing before Bai Yi in the form of Jiang Yuehan, said with utmost seriousness.

"Hmm," Bai Yi replied perfunctorily.

"In order to fight against them, we need to increase the combat power of living beings. So I hope you can cooperate with me to hunt down the Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zones, so that the power of heaven and earth they occupy and their own power can return to heaven and earth, thereby opening the path to becoming an emperor as soon as possible, or even allowing multiple emperors to appear in the same era at the same time."

"Oh."

"Are you even listening to me?!"

No~

Heavenly Dao: "..."

She began to doubt whether the Bai Yi in front of her was the same Bai Yi she had observed in all her simulations. His complete lack of reaction to the crisis was truly frustrating for her.

She glanced at the general information about Bai Yi in the world, and her eyes immediately turned cold.
