We said we would experience life, fairy, how did you become real?

If your sister doesn't sleep, she won't be able to shed her skin and transform into a python. And your sister's current body can't withstand the gradually reverting ancestral bloodline within her, let alone her current level of cultivation.

Therefore, if your sister doesn't hibernate soon, not only will it damage the foundation of her Dao, but it could even endanger her life.

Hearing the other person's words, Xiaoqing angrily said, "You female Taoist priest, you're talking nonsense!"

Fuchen wasn't angry: "This humble Taoist is not talking nonsense. May I ask if Miss Bai's complexion has been getting worse lately, as thin as paper?"

Recalling her sister's recent state, Xiaoqing's mouth slightly opened, her eyes trembled, and she lowered her head as if muttering to herself, "What...what should I do?"

"It's fate, it's destiny."

Fuchen sighed and took out a pill.

"If Miss Xiaoqing trusts me, let your sister take this pill, and she will fall asleep and transform into a python."

"However, Miss Xiaoqing, you must be aware of your sister's obsession."

"Because this sleep may be for a lifetime."

"Your sister may never see him come back."

Chapter 51 Sister, Brother Xiao is back!

The whisk is gone.

Xiaoqing sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, looking at the pill in her hand, the words spoken by Fuchen echoing in her mind.

"Xiao Qing."

Outside the courtyard, her older sister's voice could be heard.

Xiaoqing was startled and quickly put the pill back into her sleeve.

"Sister, you're back." Xiaoqing stood up, a hint of guilt flashing in her eyes.

"Xiaoqing, what's wrong?" Bai Ruxue noticed that her younger sister seemed a little strange.

"No," Xiaoqing shook her head. "I'll help you hang up the clothes, sister."

Xiaoqing stepped forward, took the basin of clothes from her sister, and helped her hang the clothes one by one on the bamboo pole.

"Sister." Xiaoqing glanced at her sister's profile and called out softly.

"Ok?"

"A female Taoist priest named Fuchen came just now," Xiaoqing asked, wanting to know if her sister really knew Fuchen.

"Has Master Fuchen arrived?" Bai Ruxue asked, somewhat surprised.

"Does your sister know her?"

“I recognize her. Master Fuchen came to see me before, saying she wanted to take me as her disciple, but I refused. Xiao Mo said she was a good master.”

Later, my sister heard from Xiao Mo that there was an elder in the Tianxuan Sect whose true form was a Vermilion Bird, named Fuchen. This must be that elder.

"I see," Xiaoqing nodded, pursing her thin lips, seemingly reassured about Fuchen's identity.

"Did Master Fuchen say anything to Xiaoqing?" Bai Ruxue asked.

"that."

Xiaoqing looked directly into her sister's eyes.

"Sister, Elder Fuchen said that you must hibernate this time. After hibernation, you will transform into a python. If you forcibly resist hibernation, it will not only damage your Dao foundation, but it may even endanger your life."

"Sister!" Xiaoqing grasped Bai Ruxue's wrist. "Sister, let's go up the mountain to hibernate. Otherwise, what if something happens to you when Brother Xiao comes back?"

"Xiaoqing, did the Daoist priest say how long I will hibernate and transform into a python?" Bai Ruxue asked.

Xiaoqing lowered her head, her expression complicated.

Looking at her younger sister's expression, Bai Ruxue knew the answer even without her saying it.

Sure enough, it was just as I had sensed.

This hibernation will likely last a very, very long time.

"Xiaoqing, I'm fine. I want to wait for him to come back." Bai Ruxue made her decision.

"Sister, this concerns your life!" Xiaoqing's eyes seemed to be about to cry.

Bai Ruxue smiled and shook her head: "But Xiaoqing, Xiao Mo is more important than my life."

Xiaoqing: "."

"Alright, Xiaoqing, don't think about those things anymore. Your sister is usually very lucky. Maybe nothing will happen to me. As for cultivation level and innate talent, why would your sister care?"

Just as Xiaoqing was about to say something, Bai Ruxue gently pressed her fair fingertips against her younger sister's lips: "Let's not talk about this anymore, I'm going to cook."

Bai Ruxue walked towards the kitchen.

Watching her sister's figure, Xiaoqing held the pill in her hand.

Xiaoqing knew that Brother Xiao was very important to her sister.

Xiaoqing also knew that if he fell asleep, it might be the end of Brother Xiao's life.

Xiaoqing knew even better how desperate her sister would be if Brother Xiao were no longer around after she woke up.

If it were just the price of a higher realm, Xiaoqing wouldn't be so conflicted.

However, this was now a matter of my sister's life.

My sister's complexion has been getting worse lately.

If this continues, can my sister really hold on?

It's deep winter now, and I'm getting more and more tired. I really can't hold on much longer.

What if something happens to my sister while I'm hibernating?

"No! Sister, nothing can possibly happen to you!"

Xiaoqing gripped the pill tightly in her hand, her gaze growing increasingly resolute.

That afternoon, Bai Ruxue sat in the courtyard, making shoes for Xiao Mo.

Xiaoqing ground the pills into powder, dissolved them in water, and came out carrying the bowl of water: "Sister, have some water."

"Mmm." Bai Ruxue took the cup.

Under Xiaoqing's tense gaze, Bai Ruxue drank the warm water in the bowl in one gulp.

The water tasted slightly sweet, but Bai Ruxue didn't mind.

Bai Ruxue put down the clay bowl and continued making shoes for Xiao Mo.

Xiaoqing sat next to her older sister, seemingly reading a book, but actually observing her sister nervously.

Half an hour later, Bai Ruxue felt increasingly sleepy.

Bai Ruxue shook her head, washed her face with cold water, and after regaining her composure, continued to sit on the stone bench.

But soon, Bai Ruxue started to feel sleepy again.

She picked up a chili pepper from the table and took a bite.

Bai Ruxue, who always hated spicy food, looked bitter, but the chili peppers were only useful for a short time.

Bai Ruxue felt increasingly sleepy.

This drowsiness is much stronger than before.

Bai Ruxue even felt that she was about to give up.

Even if Bai Ruxue wanted to pinch herself hard, she didn't have much strength.

Sitting to the side, Xiaoqing felt a pang of heartache seeing her sister trying so hard to stay conscious.

"Xiaoqing," Bai Ruxue said, pulling her younger sister's hand, "pinch me hard."

"Sister." Xiaoqing's eyes welled up with tears.

Seeing that Xiaoqing couldn't bear it, Bai Ruxue sat on the stool, picked up the thick needle on the table, and was about to prick herself.

Xiaoqing snatched it away, saying, "Sister, just go to sleep."

"No, that won't work."

Bai Ruxue forced her head up, her breath faint, her consciousness like a thread about to break.

"I haven't finished making his shoes yet."

He's still in the capital; I haven't waited for him to come back yet.

"I can't sleep, I can't."

"I can't break my promise; he'll resent me."

Bai Ruxue's tone grew softer and softer, her head felt heavier and heavier, and her consciousness became increasingly blurred.

Seeing her sister's state, Xiaoqing felt a pang of guilt and hugged her tightly, saying, "Sister... Brother Xiao won't blame you. It's all my fault. I'm so sorry... so sorry."

Xiaoqing's voice grew softer and softer in Bai Ruxue's ears.

In Bai Ruxue's mind, one fragment after another flashed by like a revolving lantern.

The first time I met him.

The first time I rode a bull with him.

The first time I asked him to teach me to read and write.

The first time he praised his own cooking was delicious

"Xiao Mo, what does 'growing old together' mean?"

That spring, the girl asked him this question.

"To grow old together means two people spending their lives together until they grow old," the man replied.

"Will we grow old together?" the girl continued to ask.

The man paused for a moment, then raised his hand, gently stroked the girl's hair, and smiled, "Yes, I will."

"I promised him that we would grow old together."

Leaning against her younger sister's chest, as Bai Ruxue fell to the ground with her last breath, her eyes slowly closed.

In her last glimpse, she seemed to see his figure:

"He's back."

Xiaoqing paused for a moment, looked up at the empty courtyard, and tears streamed down her face.

"Hmm, sister"

Brother Xiao

"I'm back."

Chapter 52 It's better not to meet than to meet

After her older sister fell asleep, Xiaoqing quickly carried her back to Sheshan before her sister could revert to her original form.

After Xiaoqing carried her sister back to the cave, Bai Ruxue soon transformed into a giant white python.

Xiaoqing also transformed into her original form and stayed by her sister's side.

Just as Xiaoqing was about to fall asleep, it suddenly raised its snake head.

She heard some noises outside the cave.

Xiaoqing transformed into human form and went outside.

The Tianxuan Sect elder named Fuchen stood at the cave entrance and bowed to Xiaoqing, saying, "Greetings, Miss Xiaoqing."

"I wonder what brings you here, Daoist Master?" Xiaoqing returned the greeting.

"Little Qing, it's not good for your sister to lie in the cave like this."

Fuchen shook his head.

"When Miss Bai undergoes her hibernation and metamorphosis, she will likely generate considerable demonic energy, attracting many demonic beasts to devour your sister's flesh and blood. Moreover, if other cultivators pass by and see this soaring demonic energy, they will also come to subdue the demons."
