The wolf demon's eyes clearly darkened upon hearing the word "immortal." "Your death is nigh," it growled, extending its demonic claws towards Mu Anxiao.
Worried that the wolf demon might harm the boy, Mu Anxiao deliberately said, "Fine, let's see if you can catch me." With that, she ran to the door, yanked it open, and fled.
The wolf demon gave chase.
Seeing the wolf demon pursuing Mu Anxiao, the girl breathed a sigh of relief.
"What should we do, Senior Sister?" she asked.
"Don't you have no connection to immortality?" the woman's attitude was completely different now.
The girl replied, "I don't know. It's just that a divine friend of that young master from yesterday said I have a connection to immortality, and if I married that young master, I could directly become an immortal. That way," she giggled, "I wouldn't have to work so hard at cultivating immortality."
Upon hearing the girl's words, the woman's face darkened. "Why didn't you tell me yesterday?"
"Senior Sister, you were in the backyard yesterday..." The girl stopped mid-sentence, suddenly recalling the conversation between the woman and the wolf demon. Her expression froze. "Senior Sister, where are the other Senior Sisters?"
"If you want to obtain what you desire, you must stop at nothing. Master lied to me."
"My father didn't lie to you."
"Your father must have deliberately concealed your connection to immortality, all for the purpose of using me and reaping the benefits."
"Senior Sister, I don't understand what you're saying?" The girl was bewildered.
"How could a fool like you understand my words? From now on, you're on your own. Immortal-destined girl." With that, the woman left.
The girl remained confused.
Meanwhile, the boy awoke. "Junior Sister," he said, sitting up and clutching his forehead.
The girl looked down at the boy listlessly. "You're awake."
"Mm," the boy nodded.
The girl blinked. "Senior Brother, can you tell me the truth."
"What is it?" The boy tried to avoid her gaze.
"I don't know," the girl mumbled. "Now I feel like Senior Sister hates me. I didn't deceive her. I told her everything I knew, so why is she treating me like this? Why did she suddenly change her attitude? Is becoming an immortal really that important? Isn't it better to live a simple, ordinary life?" xxs1
"Junior Sister, you're overthinking things," the boy said, standing up.
The girl looked at him. "I've always been the weakest in our immortal cultivation sect. You can all capture demons, but I," she gave a wry smile, "only thought of shortcuts. Senior Sister must think I'm not working hard, that's why she's angry."
"Junior Sister..."
"I've made up my mind. Since I have a connection to immortality, I will cultivate diligently. Therefore, I renounce marrying that young master," the girl declared, walking towards the door.
Disciple Number One also woke up.
"What's wrong with Junior Sister?" he asked, sitting where he was and looking up.
The boy shook his head. "I don't know." Just then, the white-robed, long-haired woman suddenly appeared before him.
"I'll kill you," she said.
The boy recoiled in fear. "You're resurrected."
"What, are you disappointed?"
The boy shook his head. "No, just surprised. But," he managed a twitching smile, "I'm relieved to see you alive."
"Go to hell," the white-robed, long-haired woman said, extending her wicked hand.
Immediately, the boy scrambled backward.
