f, doesn't seem special. It only appears as a white block on the King's Contract after being "seen." Unlike the surrounding squares.By the time Qinghuo Yuanchen and the others arrived, Jiang Wang had...Holding the bowl of soup, Bai Lian asked, "When your younger sister was sick, did you take care of her this way too"
When it comes to Jiang An'an, a natural smile appears on Jiang Wang's face.
“She is a very well-behaved child. Even when she's sick, she doesn't get upset. And as long as you buy her some delicious food, she'll be very happy. So I bought her some, Cai Ji's mutton, Du Dewang's hot pot, and Gui Xiang Zhai's pastries…”
Jiang Wang counted one by one the foods that Jiang An'an preferred, Bai Lian listened more and more uncomfortably.
The soup in my hands, it suddenly just...it wasn't fragrant to begin with.
When your sister is sick, you just go on and on about delicacies. Mom risked her life to save yours, and this is what you give me to drink
Inner turmoil, a plastered smile on my face.
“Okay, thank you.”
Bailian stopped Jiang Wang's words.
She found that this person was relatively quiet, but whenever he mentioned his sister, he suddenly became very expressive.
"Well, you're rather frail, so try to speak less." Jiang Wang raised his hand: "Drink this, drink this, there's still some in the pot. I'll add more for you after you finish."
Bai Lian automatically filtered out the following sentence, hesitated several times, and brought the soup to her.
She suddenly stopped, and looked back at Jiang Wang, her beautiful eyes blinking. "Do you want to watch me drink Want to know... what I look like"
"Sorry, sorry. I forgot, excuse me." Jiang Wang turned and walked towards the outside of the cave.
"Hey!" Bai Lian called out to him, and when he turned back around, she smiled and said, "Help me take off this veil..."
The voice was sweet and tender, captivating the heart.
Jiang Wang felt his lips were a little dry. To say he wasn't curious about Bai Lian's appearance would be a lie. Although they hadn't spent much time together, every encounter was memorable.

This woman's figure, voice, and even the glimpse of her eyes were all exquisite. Jiang Wang couldn't deny that he was curious about the face beneath the veil, even harboring a faint expectation.
But now, Bai Lian let him uncover the veil.
Don't hesitate.
Jiang Wang strode in and reached out to pull down the veil, gently lifting it...
>
Beneath the veil...
...is a beautiful...
Mask.
It was a meticulously crafted, beautifully composed lotus flower mask. It wondrously combined both sanctity and eeriness.
"Hahaha!" Bai Lian laughed so hard her whole body was shaking.
Jiang Wang's hand froze in mid-air, then awkwardly retracted.
"I should have known..." he thought.
"Have some soup," he said coldly, before once again leaving Jiang Wang fuming and humiliated as she walked out of the cave.
Behind her, the laughter of the white lotus echoed for a long time.
Jiang Wang stood outside the cave, looking at the sky with a wistful expression.
The black bear in the cave watched his back, its expression also full of melancholy.
... until the laughter subsided.
“Gulu~ ”
"Poof!!"
>
Bai Lian's roar echoed, "Jiang Wang! Do you want to kill me It's so disgusting, even worse than its appearance!"
"Come, this is homemade jam by me. I selected the sweetest wild berries, used water magic to condense the purest water, nurtured them with the purest wood elemental energy, then carefully controlled the heat and blended it with care.” Jiang Wang said earnestly: "You try again"
Bailing glanced at the gaudy mess, and with earnest eyes, looked at Jiang Wangdao: "Jiang Wang, please, just pluck the wild fruits and give them to me directly. I like eating them raw, really."
Looking at Bai Lian's earnest eyes, Jiang Wang felt refreshed and invigorated.
This was the first time Jiang Wang had seen Bai Lian submit to him. All because of his incredible cooking skills.
A jack of all trades is a master of none, as the saying goes!
He went out again and came back with a big pile of wild fruit. Bailin ate the fruit in the cave, while Jiang Wang continued to guard outside.
He looked at his two "pots" with some difficulty.
Is it really that bad
What is called a pot is simply a large stone with a pit in the middle.
A pot of vegetable soup, a pot of wild fruit jam.
One pot is a riot of colors, another a dazzling array. They vie for attention, shimmering and reflecting each other's brilliance.
He leaned in towards his culinary creation, hesitated for a long while, but ultimately didn't dare to take a bite. After all, Bai Lian had been far too pathetic. Last night when she was beaten by Ji Xuan, she hadn't even cried out like this.
But if it were simply thrown away like that, Jiang Wang wouldn't bear to do it. After all, he had worked diligently, putting in his heart and soul.
"Such a waste…"
Jiang Wang muttered, her gaze drifting aimlessly before settling on the old black bear sitting patiently.
"Come here," Jiang Wang beckoned it over.
Jiang Wang has been gone for a long time.
He was a disciple of the Daoist Academy. He was gifted and hardworking, with a bright future ahead of him. He had his own life, good friends, and a lovely younger sister.
His life was originally peaceful and bright.
Bailian sat quietly in the cave, her eyes lost in thought.
In fact, her body recovered very well, the effects of the flesh-soul return technique were incredibly fitting.
That was also a secret art she had only heard of but never mastered, it came from the power of the Huangquan Abyss.
This undoubtedly strengthened her judgment.
However, she rarely hesitated for a moment.
Was it because of that bowl of bitter vegetable soup
Was it still her, ready to embrace death, when that sudden warmth enveloped her
Bai Lian could not tell the difference.
She wasn't naturally gentle, yet she surprised even herself by acting frail for a while.
She let out a long sigh.
But all things have an end, just as yesterday has passed.
When the skeletal messenger appeared, Bai Lian had already donned her black veil once more. She looked serene and composed, not at all like someone who had been grievously injured.
Outside the cave, there was also a black bear with white foam at its mouth, lying limp on the ground.
“A beast, kill it and be done with it. What use is torturing it” The White Bone Messenger said standing outside the cave.
>
"You're surprisingly kind," Bai Lian walked gracefully out of the cave.
"It seems the rumors were wrong, you weren't hurt." The Bone Messenger naturally wouldn't care about a black bear frothing at the mouth. He just casually found a topic to continue, "I received news and was very anxious, luckily it was all for nothing."

Bai Lian ignored the second half of his sentence, softly saying, "I wonder who wants my life so badly. They know my whereabouts like the back of their hand and even got Qi Xuan involved. Aren't they afraid I'll be captured alive... and expose all the secrets of our organization"
"In short, it wouldn't be me. If it were me, I wouldn't come alone."
Of course. I'm dead now, so I can't do you any good. But who knows what the future holds
"Look at you saying that, no matter when you die, I'll be heartbroken." The Bone Messenger turned to leave, carefully wiping away the branch blocking their path.
Two people wandered through the forest, their footsteps rustling fallen leaves.
There was a delicate distance between them, seeming close yet wary of each other.

They can certainly be comrades fighting side by side, fellow disciples striving for the same ideal. But in a moment of carelessness, they can become objects devouring each other.
It has to be said, this feeling of walking a tightrope is the most familiar state for Bai Lian.
Her footsteps became lighter and lighter as she walked. Suddenly, she asked, "Messenger, has anyone ever died for you"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
“There you go!” said the Bone Messenger without looking back, “Those who want to kill me often try hard.”
"Well, that's true," Bai Lian murmured with a smile. "People like us."that he will definitely gain something at the meeting at the Yellow River.Overall, this is a respectable master, making the methods of those like Chong Xuan seem comical.Before Chongxuan was imprisone...
