Demon Sword Immortal

If nothing unexpected happens, Zhang Longze is about to go through a tough period.

He has to quell the spreading anger and give an explanation to public opinion, which will take at least 1-2 weeks, and the holiday given by the school cannot be less than that period.

But it is precisely because of this that he is especially grateful to Bai Xiang.

Just as Tao Shuohua was furious with him, as the principal, he was largely to blame for such a serious matter. Even if the Fang family's daughter was ultimately confirmed to be safe and sound, he would likely still be severely punished by the authorities, and might even be stripped of his official position.

But he borrowed Bai Xiang's 'Dingbo Sword'.

Bai Xiang used this sword to break through the Demon Pool and slay the demons in the experimental building. Afterwards, he returned the sword to him in front of almost all the high-ranking members of the Crimson Dragon Sect, specifically thanking him for lending the sword.

This really makes him look good!

Judging from Zhang Longze's demeanor and tone when he spoke to him, Bai Xiang estimated that Zhang would still be subject to administrative disciplinary action. However, he had undoubtedly earned a lot of favors from Xu Zhe, Zhang Daoming, and others, and the disciplinary action he had taken would likely be repaid to him in the future.

It's even possible that... under Fang Xiaochun's instruction, they could go even further.

How could he not be grateful to Bai Xiang?

"Having gained so many favors in one go, Shenming Sword Dao should not be isolated when it faces Qingya Sect or even Benling Sword Dao in the future."

Bai Xiang was not someone who would refuse Tao Shuohua without reason.

She refused because she wanted more in the future.

"And some things are only truly enjoyable when you do them yourself."

Bai Xiang put down his phone, picked up the cloud-patterned wooden sword and stroked it carefully, his right hand gripping the hilt tightly.

As the noise subsided, in the stillness of the night, gripping her wooden sword, she truly felt that she was indeed living in the world in a completely new way.

All of today's events seem like fleeting clouds in a dream: conflicts, chaos, battles with demons and beasts, life-or-death moments... all of these churn and surface in Bai Xiang's mind.

Yang Xing's death was indeed unjust.

Any other sword cultivator who had entered the Dao would likely have been instantly killed by Yang Xing and the broken demon pool he had created, their spirit leaving their body.

But it was all in vain.

Her spirit was extraordinary.

Recalling the past, she realized in a flash that her body from her previous life had long since become useless in the following years.

The reason she can still move around with difficulty, and to help her with the most basic self-care such as going to the toilet, and to help her retain her last bit of dignity, is entirely because she insisted on meditation, which caused her 'thoughts' to change.

What is meditation?

Meditation refers to meditation training.

Running, swimming, high jump, fitness.

Imagine yourself immersing yourself in every movement, including the smallest details, repeatedly and continuously, to achieve the effect of supplementing your training.

In her previous life, Bai Xiang was diagnosed with a terminal illness. In despair, she was distressed that her body and mind were not under her control. Her daily exercise was far from enough to meet her expectations, so she looked up some concepts of meditation training online and has been practicing it for many years.

At first, she struggled with the brainstorming process and often fell asleep from exhaustion due to overworking her brain.

Later, she found meditation training increasingly easier. She was no longer satisfied with "basic exercises" like running and swimming, and even taught herself to construct extreme sports such as mountain climbing, bungee jumping, and surfing in meditation by watching online videos and reading text materials.

My spirit, will, thoughts, soul... may have all undergone abnormal changes during this process.

He pondered for a moment.

They mutated, turning me into a 'superhuman' without my own knowledge, allowing me to control my crippled body with the power of my 'heart', just like Doctor Strange in the movies.

Then, with the death of my previous physical body, this mutated spirit was pulled back into this body, and it still maintained its mutated characteristics.

This is the real reason why I thrived in the Great Yu Sword Dao system, entered the Dao immediately upon transmigrating, and made rapid progress as soon as I entered the Dao... rather than simply relying on strong willpower.

This is a unique ability that fate and suffering have bestowed upon me.

Exhale gently.

Bai Xiang closed his eyes in the darkness, revealing an extremely complex smile that mixed feelings of relief and contentment.

Thoughts interfere with reality; the soul remains even after leaving the body.

A unique favor.

How can we utilize this superpower?

How can I use this unique talent to quickly become stronger?

Amidst the excitement, some thoughts were also stirring within me.

But thinking about it all the time is really tiring.

She rolled over and lay down, clutching the wooden sword tightly in her arms. She fell asleep almost as soon as her head hit the pillow.

Chapter Twenty: The Bai Sisters (Please add to your favorites and vote!)

The next day, the nurse who came to change Bai Xiang's dressing was somewhat surprised.

The cut on her arm wasn't very deep, but it would have taken several days for it to scab over and fall off. However, when the bandage was removed this morning, it was already at the final stage, and it didn't look like it had just been cut last night.

"Maybe it's because my platelet count is good," Bai Xiang reassured the nurse without changing his expression.

"That's the only explanation..." The nurse continued to inform her while taking notes: "Your current condition basically means you don't need to stay in the hospital anymore, but someone has given you a one-month stay. You can choose to stay until the end, or you can choose to be discharged first and save the remaining time."

Because this is a special care ward.

The facility is fully equipped with medical equipment and caregivers; the cost of staying there for one day is estimated to be equivalent to a week's wages for an average family.

"I'll be discharged." Bai Xiang naturally chose the latter option.

She disliked hospitals, feeling that spending even half a day there was torture.

"Then your file will be entered into the Recruitment Department," the nurse told her. "Once you come of age and get your ID card, you can use it to swipe your card. Before that, if you want to retrieve your time, you'll have to go to the Recruitment Department to print out a certificate."

"thank you, I know now."

After the nurse left, Chen Jing's family arrived.

Poor Chen Jing, after a terrifying night, was finally able to skip early for class and was lazing in bed when her parents dragged her out of bed and made her cry.

Then she gradually realized—oh, I really almost never saw these relatives again, and she began to lose control of her emotions, crying along with her parents and relatives.

Bai Xiang had already changed his clothes. The only luggage he needed to carry was the cloud-patterned wooden sword. He sat quietly to the side, watching without any expression on his face.

...Until Chen Jing pointed in this direction and said something to her parents, Bai Xiang was surrounded by the couple dressed as urban white-collar workers.

"Thank you so much! Thank you, Bai!" Chen's mother held Bai's hand as he held the sword, expressing her emotions while wiping away tears.

“We’re usually too busy with work, so Jingjing has to live at school most of the time. The last time I saw her was when she was upset with me and didn’t want to go to tutoring. I really didn’t know… I didn’t know that if something happened to her this time, I might never forgive myself…”

"Kindness without saying thanks."

Mr. Chen was much more restrained in his expression. The man in the suit took out a business card from his wallet and handed it to Bai Xiang.

"I know that Bai's future achievements are limitless, and he may not care about these things, but this is all we can show."

"Please accept this. In the future, no matter what requests you make of me, I promise I will do my best to help!"

Bai Xiang took the business card and carefully read through its contents.

Chen Zhi'en...Deputy Manager of the R&D Department of Qingyun Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.?

The name was appropriate for the occasion, and Bai Xiang didn't stand on ceremony, stuffing the business card into his pants pocket in front of the Chen family.

This decisive attitude pleased Mr. and Mrs. Chen very much. When they realized she was leaving, they tried several times to persuade her to stay, offering to treat her to a meal. Only after Bai Xiang declined did they say goodbye to her with Chen Jing.

"This girl is extraordinary."

Standing at the door of the special care ward, Chen Zhi'en watched the white figure disappear around the corner and murmured with great emotion.

"Would an ordinary person rush into a dangerous place to save someone?" Chen's mother nudged him and asked, "You took leave to come here, didn't you?"

“Yeah…” Chen Zhi’en sighed, stroking her daughter’s head, “This is a critical stage of the project, and now we’re going to get our wages docked…”

On the other hand, Bai Xiang settled his time at the hospital reception, which basically meant he was now free.

Thanks to the Great Yu Dynasty, she didn't need to worry about the large number of reporters surrounding the entrance of the Third Academy. She simply walked out the gate and stood on the steps to admire the street view.

It's a little past ten in the morning, and Bai Shengju said her second uncle would come to pick her up at this time.

Since the morning rush hour had passed, apart from the crowds still queuing at the Third Hospital, the sidewalks and streets were rather deserted.

Looking across the street, the area beneath the sign for Chilong No. 1 Middle School was still heavily cordoned off. A supervisor stood guard every ten meters along both sides of the road, clearly indicating that the area was still under martial law.

The people in line were also discussing and speculating about the situation, completely unaware that one of the people involved was standing right next to them.

Zhang Longze said he would give me an explanation for the poisoning... I wonder what will happen to the monster's corpse.

Bai looked up at the sky.

And then there's the 'Jade Phoenix Sword' that Tao Shuohua mentioned; I wonder what kind of treasure it is.

"sister--!"

A clear call came from below the steps.

This was a voice even more like a bird's than Chen Jing's, especially with an added touch of etherealness. The drawn-out lingering tone made Bai Xiang subconsciously turn her head in that direction, even though she didn't think it was being called.

It was a black sedan.

The car looked a bit old-fashioned. The passenger window was rolled down, and a girl with short, flowing hair was leaning most of her body out of the window, waving vigorously in their direction.

"sister--!"

"Come quick, sister! Uncle and I have come to pick you up!"

Bai wanted to confirm several times that the other person was indeed shouting at him before he approached the car under the watchful eyes of those around him and reached out to pull on the back door.

But the door opened by itself.

A girl with long, straight black hair pulled her arm back, clearly the one who opened the car door for her.

I opened the door and got in the car, but before I could even check the situation carefully, the car started moving and drove onto the road.

"There's a gift behind the seat."

A cold, deep voice came from the driver's seat.

coming.

Bai Xiang looked ahead, staring at his second uncle Bai Lianzhou's bronze profile.

Bai Lianzhou was not bad-looking.

Rumor has it that many girls pursued him when he was young, but he was a man devoted to swordsmanship and no one could force him to give up swordsmanship to start a family.

But later, for some unknown reason, he suddenly changed his mind and chose the woman with the best qualities among his suitors, a woman named Shen Xuelan. It was because of this marriage that the Bai family became connected with the Bureau of Transfers—Shen Xuelan's father, Shen Xin, worked in the Bureau of Transfers.

Bai Lianzhou has always had an icy, expressionless face, making it difficult to discern his emotions.

But Bai Xiang always felt that he wasn't happy.

"A gift? What gift?"

The girl in the front seat popped her head out, complaining to Bai Lianzhou, "I told you, Second Uncle is biased! Every time he visits my sister, he gives her something nice! But we don't get anything every time!"

Bai Lianzhou, who was driving, replied, "If you want, ask your mom to buy it for you."

"It's boring!"

Since he said that, the girl pursed her lips and withdrew them.

Bai Xiang remained silent, but he was truly speechless inside.

Bai Lianzhou's response seems innocuous at first glance, but upon closer examination, it means, "You have a mother while Bai Xiang doesn't, so stop comparing yourself to Bai Xiang in this regard."

Isn't this just deliberately reopening old wounds?

Thankfully, I'm not a real child.

Bai Xiang was certain: Bai Lianzhou was genuinely bad at expressing himself.

As for the two girls sitting in front and behind, they are the daughters of Uncle 'Bai Guanshan' and Aunt 'Zhu Ying'.

The girl in the front seat with shoulder-length hair, a voice like a nightingale, and a lively personality is called 'Bai Leying', she is the younger sister.

In the back seat, the girl with long, straight black hair who had opened the car door for Bai Xiang earlier but had huddled in the corner without saying a word after Bai Xiang got in is called Bai Zhuqing, and is the older sister.

Of course, both of them have to call themselves "older sister".

Although they are not actually related to Bai Xiang by blood.
