The mantis demon was truly stupid and simple. Although it captured Bai Yiyi and put her in a net bag, the net bag had no seal.
If Bai Yiyi hadn't been so pretentious earlier, thinking about personally witnessing Bai Shengyi's misfortune, she could have escaped with great ease.
But now, as Bai Yiyi turned around, she saw Bai Shengyi stepping on the snow, her thick vines tying the opening of the net bag tightly.
"Ah!"
Bai Shengyi's dagger seemed to have eyes, turning sharply in mid-air and rushing straight for her other hand.
Fast, accurate, and ruthless!
Bai Yiyi's body couldn't help but flinch.
A sharp voice shrieked in her mind, high-pitched and piercing: "You said she wouldn't kill me! What are you waiting for! Hurry and run!"
The sharp voice, belonging to the real Bai Yiyi, never expected that the outsider would be so unreliable, despite her confident pronouncements.
Fearing that she would be tormented to death by this person before her body could be swapped back, she became furious. Disregarding her prior agreement with the outsider, she began to seize control of her own body.
"Stop! Bai Yiyi, do you want to kill us both? If Bai Shengyi discovers..." the fake Bai Yiyi said, then softened her tone and appeased, "Don't worry, your body will definitely be fine."
She then promised many benefits before making the real Bai Yiyi quiet down.
The wind and snow were bleak, with endless white all around. Only this spot, where two mantis demons had just died, carried the scent of scarlet and blood.
Bai Shengyi was unaware that there were two people inside Bai Yiyi's body. She had originally intended to finish this person off directly, but she keenly sensed that in that very moment, the aura on Bai Yiyi's body had become unusual.
It was indescribably familiar, yet extremely strange, making her unable to recall it for a moment.
Unfortunately, that aura was soon contained by Bai Yiyi.
Bai Shengyi regretfully changed her mind, but the coldness on her face did not dissipate.
"You... you can't kill me..."
The fake Bai Yiyi was still struggling to dodge Bai Shengyi's attacking dagger, trying to get out of the net bag.
But as she looked up, she met Bai Shengyi's cold gaze, and her heart couldn't help but sink.
Then she saw a flash of spiritual light, and Bai Shengyi actually produced the lotus lamp she had hidden so well.
"Bai Shengyi!" Both Bai Yiyis panicked!
"So nervous? It seems this is the treasure you obtained from the mutated leeches last time?"
Bai Shengyi had only guessed casually, but was surprised by the change in Bai Yiyi's expression.
She had actually guessed correctly!
This Bai Yiyi was quite clever! At that time, she had taken the lotus lamp directly, and both she and Ximen Hongchun thought this lamp was her original magical artifact, never suspecting the mutated leeches.
"This is my natal spiritual artifact, Bai Shengyi. It's useless even if you snatch it," the fake Bai Yiyi took a deep breath, remembering her original plan, and desperately calmed herself down.
"What's the problem with killing you?" Bai Shengyi's voice was filled with nonchalance and casualness.
But it was precisely this casualness that deeply stung the fake Bai Yiyi.
Like a cat whose paw had been stepped on, she screamed hatefully, "Bai Shengyi! You dare! Ah!"
Before her words had even fallen, she was stabbed by the dagger again!
"What is there to not dare? Elder Wen even said that this secret realm is extremely dangerous, so the academy must be accustomed to the death of a few students."
Bai Yiyi remained silent, staring at her with venomous hatred, her eyes like a ghost's, lingering on her.
Vengeful hatred?
Bai Shengyi was puzzled. She didn't even know Bai Yiyi, so why did this person harbor such great resentment towards her? Could this be an illegitimate child her father had left behind?
"However, don't worry, I won't kill you for now."
Before Bai Yiyi could fully relax, she heard Bai Shengyi say slowly in her deathly calm tone, "Killing you would just dirty my hands. So..."
Bai Shengyi snapped her fingers.
The vines tied to the net bag suddenly shot upwards, and Bai Yiyi was violently thrown into the air.
"Ahhh!" Bai Yiyi's heart almost leaped out of her chest.
"Master, where should I throw her?"
Qing Meng Teng wasn't doing this for the first time, it swayed it skillfully.
Bai Yiyi let out another scream. By now, it was too late for her to escape!
Unless she disregarded everything and exposed her identity!
She never expected that in just a few months, Bai Shengyi would become so powerful. The useless body she had found was of no use at all!
Not only did it fail to disgust Bai Shengyi, but it also failed to get close to her. Instead, she was being toyed with by Bai Shengyi. How could she be so unlucky! It was infuriating!
"Just hang her here, a little higher."
Bai Shengyi calmly gave the order and left the place with the lotus lamp.
As soon as she left, the scent of blood, unshielded by spiritual energy, spread everywhere. Soon, rustling sounds emerged from various places on the snowy ground.
"Bai Shengyi! You cheap slut! How can you be so vicious and shameless! I curse you to never leave this secret realm! Ahhh! You better not let me encounter you again, otherwise, I will definitely kill you..."
Watching Bai Shengyi's潇洒 departure, Bai Yiyi finally broke down, unable to help but curse loudly.
But after just two curses, she saw the Red Cloud Vulture flying from not far away.
This spiritual beast, born at the fourth rank, instantly made her panic. She couldn't bother hiding her identity anymore, and gray threads crazily emerged from her body. In no time, the vines left by Qing Meng Teng turned into a pile of withered rotten wood...
Staring at the vast expanse of snow for too long could make one dizzy, but at the same time, it served as a natural camouflage for white clothing.
"Master, why have we come back?" Qing Meng Teng asked, confused.
Bai Shengyi: "To solve a puzzle. Don't you think Bai Yiyi's hostility towards me is inexplicable?"
Aside from their one encounter on the Immortality-Seeking Ship, she had never interacted with this Bai Yiyi at the academy before. But now, Bai Shengyi was certain and sure that whether it was during the mutated leech incident or this time, Bai Yiyi was deliberately targeting her.
Bai Shengyi was truly bewildered.
Even if Bai Yiyi disliked her from the moment they met, they weren't direct competitors. Why would Bai Yiyi want to be her enemy so early on?
She didn't believe that someone chosen by the academy through meticulous selection would be so brainless.
She changed into a white cloak, used Yan Zhen to make some snow fall on her, and then used her spiritual power to shield her aura. Silently, she turned back.
Bai Shengyi looked at the familiar gray threads and the changes in the vines before her. This déjà vu instantly reminded her of some unpleasant things.
"Prison Demon?"
The cries of the Red Cloud Vulture foraging in the sky reached her ears. Bai Shengyi didn't dare to guarantee that the scent of blood wouldn't attract anything else. Having seen what she wanted to see, she quietly prepared to leave.
But as she lifted her foot, the lotus lamp in her hand suddenly emitted a dazzling light!
As the light flowed, Bai Shengyi vanished from her original spot.
"Master!" Qing Meng Teng quickly chased after her.
