Demon Sword Immortal

"Sister Xiang'er...Auntie?"

Bai Zhuqing jumped up when she heard the noise, and her eyes lit up when she saw Bai Xiang.

This...this t-shirt that accentuates the bulge in the chest!

These denim hot pants that show off her black stockings!

So trendy? Is Auntie changing her style?

"Work required."

Bai Xiang said it casually.

She really didn't like those clothes.

She wouldn't wear these pants if it weren't for the fact that the coat could cover a lot of her thighs.

"No... I mean, it looks good too!"

Bai Zhuqing quickly stepped forward, took the guitar case, opened it for Bai Xiang, and handed the 'Fei Xiang Tian' guitar to Bai Xiang.

Turning her head, she saw Bai Xiang already sitting on the bed, half of her body leaning against the wooden frame, showing a rare hint of weariness and exhaustion.

Bai Zhuqing's eyes lit up again. She bent down, grabbed Bai Xiang's ankle, and helped her take off her shoes.

"What do you want to do?"

Bai Xiang didn't dodge; she simply opened her eyes calmly and looked at her younger sister.

"I..." Bai Zhuqing swallowed hard, nervously saying, "This... Auntie just taught me this during the day~"

"I was thinking, I could use the Vibration Technique... to massage the acupoints on the soles of my aunt's feet..."

Bai Xiang didn't say anything, he just stared at her.

Bai Zhuqing's eyelids twitched, and he craned his neck to meet her gaze.

If I keep avoiding her, will it make me seem guilty...?

Will I experience that same heart-pounding feeling again if it happens again...?

"Just give it a try."

Thinking this way, I closed my eyes and agreed to my sister's massage request.

"Remember, you are not allowed to do anything out of line."

Bai Zhuqing was taken aback, then felt a surge of joy.

agreed!

They actually agreed!

As if she had received a royal decree, she carefully squatted down and helped Bai Xiang take off the two cotton socks that were wrapped around her.

Wearing stockings with sneakers is not a good idea. Not only does it smell bad, but the lack of friction between the stockings and the insole makes it difficult to exert force. That's why Bai Xiang wore an extra pair of cotton socks.

Cotton socks have a certain sweat-absorbing effect, so even after a night of fighting, Bai Xiang's feet didn't smell too bad.

Bai Zhuqing's face flushed red. He grabbed the upper part of Bai Xiang's two black-stockinged feet with both hands. The moment he touched them, he felt a soft and silky texture. He couldn't help but apply a little more pressure, pressing and stroking Bai Xiang's soles and insteps.

"Ok?"

Bai Xiang frowned and looked over.

"Oh! Oh, I'm sorry!" Bai Zhuqing hurriedly apologized, but in her mind she was thinking about how Bai Xiang had massaged her feet before, and she stood up while pinching her pair of black-stockinged feet.

Um! ?

Bai Xiang was truly dumbfounded.

By standing up, Bai Zhuqing lifted her feet into the air, and she slid onto the bed with her feet spread apart.

"Ah this..."

Bai Zhuqing knew she had made a mistake again when she saw the angry look in her eyes, and stammered, "But the only way I can see Aunt's feet is from this position... this position is the only way..."

“It’s ‘angle’, right?” Bai wanted to correct her wording. First, he swung his leg to break free from her grasp, sat up and took off his black coat, then rolled over and lay on his side with his legs bent, ankles together, and feet slightly sticking out of the bed.

"Just press it like this."

Bai Zhuqing had thought she had messed up and there was no way to get it done, but she didn't expect Bai Xiang to give her another chance.

This time, she dared not overstep her bounds again. She sat on the edge of the bed, reached out and pulled her sister's legs into her arms, holding one in each hand. She began to press the acupoints she had memorized with her thumbs, trying to transmit vibrational energy as she pressed.

It does feel a bit strange...!

When the first burst of energy entered, Bai Xiang almost cried out.

It was a sharp, tingling sensation, like an electric current, that traveled directly from the soles of her feet to her brain and heart, forcefully plucking at her heartstrings.

His brows furrowed slightly, his eyes tightly closed. Bai tried his best to appear calm, silently reciting Buddhist scriptures in his mind.

Fortunately, Bai Zhuqing's vibrations were not enough to shake her resilient spirit. After gradually getting used to the initial stimulation, the subsequent vibrations really became a massage.

Quite comfortable.

The strange palpitations subsided, and Bai Xiang finally felt relieved.

As expected, that throbbing sensation was just an illusion. It was because my feet are quite sensitive; anyone would feel the same way if they pressed them.

I must say, Bai Zhuqing's technique was quite professional. She recognized the acupoints on the soles of the feet very accurately and quickly made Bai Xiang relax, and his mind began to wander.

The first thing she caught her eye was 'Hisano'.

She was now half-embracing the sword she had personally crafted as her life-bound treasure on the bed.

She reached out and grasped the sword hilt, immediately feeling a surge of pure 'blood qi' returning to her, flowing from her palm into her body.

The simultaneous stimulation of the palms and soles of the feet was a bit too intense, causing Bai Xiang to breathe rapidly and her fair cheeks to flush slightly.

Sure enough, killing does have its rewards.

It wasn't just the killing of cultivators; it seems they also killed the staff who fired the shots.

It's just too weak, almost imperceptible.

The tiger-like man, the lewd man, the short and stocky man, and the tall and thin man.

Bai Xiang killed four Nascent Soul cultivators today, and with the addition of the 'Ghost Shadow' demon pool she was commissioned to kill, a total of five streams of pure blood energy returned to her, greatly advancing her cultivation progress.

Including the time she has spent over a month slaying demonic beasts on the outskirts of the jungle, her Qi Sea has expanded by more than double since she first transformed into Qi. Today, she has undergone another minor qualitative change, gaining a new ability: 'transforming Qi into form'.

Unlike deceptive tricks like conjuring up the illusion of a cicada demon, this ability allows Bai Xiang to condense intangible Qi into tangible forms, and even transform them into a resilient entity on a small scale.

Just like how she caught the tall, thin man's sword with her bare hands, she relied on the newly mastered technique of 'transforming Qi into form'. Moreover, she could immediately release it again in the form of 'Qi waves', with even greater control than before.

The Qi Sword itself is already extremely sharp when attached to the blade, and with the addition of the Vibration Technique, a 'Purple Qi' level Condensation Realm cultivator can be defeated in a single strike if I seize the opportunity.

After reviewing today's battle in his mind, Bai Xiang had a general assessment of his own strength.

Upon first entering the Nascent Soul stage, she can instantly slay enemies.

The purple aura condenses, allowing for an instant strike at close range. Being pushed back by the enemy at this point becomes more troublesome; for example, the demonic tiger man, who had been avoiding combat before the contamination was lifted, managed to stall for time.

She didn't know what Zi Xue Ning Xiang meant, but she estimated that even if the enemy's demonic power was pure, it wouldn't reach the level of a 'major qualitative change' and might not be able to withstand the double cutting of Qi Sha and Zhen Jue.

So I should be at the peak of the condensation phase?

In the very late stages, just a little short of reaching the Purple Core realm?

I haven't encountered this kind of enemy before, so I can't be sure.

After some thought, Bai decided to position himself slightly above 'Purple Blood'.

The training system of Kendo is still quite rigorous.

Each step of the training process, and the sign of its completion, is meticulously and rigorously defined.

It is called illusory because it is based on the mind, which is equivalent to the mind of Tao.

At first glance, this thing seemed hard to understand, but upon closer inspection, it's actually similar in nature to the inner demons in fantasy novels.

So don't worry about that. Bai Xiang also intends to create a new path by referring to the system of Kendo.

'Transforming Qi' is considered a high realm, comparable to the condensation of form in swordsmanship.

Let's consider 'Form Condensation' as a minor realm, in comparison to the minor realms of Form Condensation, such as Purple Qi and Purple Blood.

Bai Xiang was overjoyed at the newly decided path, but he didn't notice that his sister's gaze at his feet was becoming increasingly unfocused.

Sister Xiang'er's feet are so beautiful...

The more Bai Zhuqing examined and observed those black-stockinged feet, the more she felt their perfect outline.

The arch of her foot formed a perfect curve under the stockings, and beneath the taut black fabric were ten delicate toes that would occasionally curl and open with each press...

The scene was so beautiful that Bai Zhuqing gradually forgot Bai Xiang's warning and unconsciously changed from pressing to touching, even scratching the center of her sole with her fingernail.

"Um……!"

Bai Xiang was experiencing the improvement of his cultivation when he was caught off guard by this sudden attack. His body trembled and he couldn't help but let out a soft moan.

broken.

Upon hearing this cry, Bai Zhuqing's heart skipped a beat, and then immediately plummeted.

She turned her head little by little, and sure enough, she was greeted by Bai Xiang's narrowed, eerie golden eyes.

Chapter Forty-Seven: Seeking Truth

Another month has passed, and it's almost mid-November in Chilongdao.

According to Bai Zhuqing's calendar, this is the thirty-fifth day since Bai Xiang neglected him.

For the past thirty-odd days, Bai Xiang continued to teach her swordsmanship during the day. He instructed her in the same way he always had, and even when he needed to physically press on her acupoints, he did not shy away from doing so, behaving no differently than before.

Then in the afternoon, Bai thought about going out.

Bai Zhuqing didn't know what she was doing, only that she returned at unpredictable times each night. Sometimes she would catch a group of people having dinner, and sometimes she wouldn't return until the early hours of the morning.

Bai Zhuqing always insisted on waiting for Bai Xiang, which was consistent with her previous behavior.

The only difference was that she could no longer enter the side room at night.

“You have your own room, so you don’t need to come to me every night,” Bai Xiang said at the time. “The forecast says this winter will be very cold. Le Ying will be on winter vacation soon. You should go back and sleep with her so that Le Ying doesn’t feel lonely again.”

She's not lonely at all.

Bai Zhuqing's eyelids twitched after hearing this.

Since she chose to become a 'full-time swordsman' and stopped attending academic classes at school, Bai Zhuqing thought that her younger sister Bai Leying would feel lonely.

Less than three days after classes resumed, Bai Shengju received a complaint from his teacher that Bai Leying was not studying well and was bullying her classmates every day, and had even made several female students cry.

The situation has become so serious that it requires calling the parents. Without a doubt, the ultimate solution of "inviting the parents" is not far off.

Bai Shengju certainly didn't have time to go; it was his second uncle, Bai Lianzhou, who happened to be with Bai Zhuqing at the time.

Bai Zhuqing watched helplessly as her dark-faced second uncle was lectured by a young female teacher. Then, she turned her head and saw Bai Leying standing on the playground, pretending to leave, while another girl was kneeling on the ground grabbing her hand.

Has the "Digging Up Girl" developed such a rich inner world now?

Bai Zhuqing's pupils trembled.

Bai Zhuqing's horizons were broadened.

Bai Zhuqing felt abandoned and betrayed by her younger sister, mixed with a strange sense of relief that 'she has finally grown up'.

Later, Bai Leying went home for dinner a few weekends, but she seemed more and more indifferent each time. It was as if she was just going through the motions when she came back.

"Leying is busy with her band, playing and singing with some instruments that have been introduced from the West," her mother said.

Bai Zhuqing wasn't interested in this, and over time she got used to the idea that "her little sister has her own life." When she heard Bai Xiang say that, she immediately sensed something was wrong.

No—Le Ying doesn't want me anymore!

She never had any respect for the title of 'older sister'! Even when she came back for winter break, she would definitely be out every day, just hanging out with those few classmates!

She wanted to explain things to Bai Xiang properly, and even apologize for her behavior that night.

But Bai Xiang didn't give her a chance and closed the door right after saying what he had said.

"..."

Bai Zhuqing suddenly recalled the scene she had witnessed on the playground.
