Chapter 435: Four Directions Stir, Bai Xi’s Bloodline!

Xuanwu Ridge, Sima Family.

The Sima Family received the news about their Patriarch immediately.

At first, they couldn’t believe it.

After all, their Patriarch was a False Core cultivator.

How could he be suppressed by a junior from the Lu Family?

After multiple verifications, they notified another False Core Patriarch, Sima Yue.

“How dare a small Bihu Mountain provoke my Sima Family like this!”

When Sima Yue returned home, he was furious.

Their Golden Core seedling was killed.

The False Core Patriarch was captured and suppressed.

It was a stinging slap to their faces.

It completely humiliated the Sima Family of Xuanwu Ridge, making them a laughingstock in the Jiang Kingdom.

From now on, whenever people mentioned the Sima Family, they’d say their False Core Patriarch was suppressed by a junior from Bihu Mountain.

“I’ll go to Bihu Mountain myself and see who gave them the courage!”

Sima Yue’s face was aged, full of wrinkles, and his body slightly hunched, but he exuded a menacing aura like a wolf king ready to devour his enemies.

Despite having only a few decades left to live,

his centuries of accumulated power, after forming the False Core, made his Divine Abilities and magical treasures far superior to Sima Tong.

“Patriarch, please calm down! Please calm down!”

“Patriarch, I’ve already sent word to the Azure Cloud Sect to notify Thirteenth Sister.”

The Sima Family Patriarch and several elders quickly tried to persuade their Patriarch.

The recent incident at home had already unsettled everyone; they couldn’t afford even the slightest loss!

If something happened to Sima Yue, the Sima Family would be doomed.

“Patriarch, the family still needs you here. I believe Thirteenth Sister will be able to handle Second Uncle’s situation.”

The Sima Family Patriarch earnestly persuaded.

Even though a False Core Patriarch was captured and five Foundation Establishment cultivators died,

as long as Sima Yue, one of the False Core cultivators, was still in the Family, they would be safe and other forces would not dare to go too far.

After all, even minor conflicts can leave a major power restless, let alone against a False Core cultivator.

But if something were to happen to this False Core Patriarch, without a deterrent, other forces would pounce on the Sima Family like wolves.

Even if the Sima Family had robust foundations and could quickly cultivate another False Core cultivator, the loss to their assets and power would be significant.

“Tell Thirteenth Sister, whatever the cost, she must bring Second Uncle back!”

Sima Yue knew he needed to remain in the family to maintain their deterrence.

Besides, his words were mainly bluster.

Not to mention Bihu Mountain had Lu Changsheng, Lu Miaoge, and Lu Ping’an, tww powerful False Core warriors.

Just Ling Zixiao and the protective array of Bihu Mountain would be enough to render his efforts futile.

If he truly invaded Bihu Mountain, it would only be courting death.

“Rest assured, Patriarch. If Thirteenth Sister takes action, Bihu Mountain will not dare to disrespect us.”

The Sima Family Patriarch spoke solemnly.

The Sima Family had a history stretching back over a thousand years, with deep ties to numerous forces and a strong foundation within the Azure Cloud Sect.

Particularly in this generation, they had a key family member who was apprenticed to Jade Zhi, an honored figure of the Azure Cloud Sect.

While Jade Zhi was only a False Core cultivator,

her partner was none other than the peak lord of Chiyang Peak, an illustrious Golden Core cultivator!

As long as their family member could persuade this Golden Core Patriarch, with even a word or command, Bihu Mountain would have to obediently hand over their captives.

“Hmm.”

Sima Yue nodded, then looked at the Sima Family Patriarch with a grave expression and said, “I heard that Lu Ping’an of Bihu Mountain is only in his sixties. Such a young age, and already possessing False Core-level body cultivation, he must have some great fortune or secret!”

“Send someone immediately to investigate every detail about him. The more detailed, the better.”

Sima Yue’s sharp, intimidating gaze flickered under his thick eyebrows.

Even as a well-traveled False Core Patriarch, the information about Lu Ping’an shocked him, stirring a murderous intent.

Body cultivation was known for being time-consuming, draining energy and resources.

For someone of Lu Ping’an’s age to achieve such body refinement was extraordinary!

It was clear to anyone with eyes that as long as Lu Ping’an didn’t meet an early demise, he was highly likely to break through to the Third Rank in body cultivation.

The thought of that day caused Sima Yue to feel a chill.

“Rest assured, Patriarch. I’ve already sent people to investigate Lu Ping’an’s background.”

The Sima Family Patriarch bowed respectfully.

Jinlong Ridge, Jin Family.

The high-ranking members of the Jin Family were astonished when they learned of what happened between Bihu Mountain and the Sima Family.

They had previously heard of the Sima Family’s major moves and were overjoyed.

They thought the Sima Family would eliminate Lu Ping’an and Ling Zixiao in this action.

But they never expected that now news was coming back that the Four Talents of the Sima Family were dead.

And even the False Core Patriarch of the Sima Family was suppressed by Lu Ping’an.

What was this madness!?

If not for multiple confirmations, they wouldn’t have believed it.

“Years ago, we sent someone to test White Tiger Mountain, and one of our men was killed by an arrow. It must have been Lu Ping’an’s doing.”

An elder of the Jin Family recalled an incident and spoke up.

“Lu Ping’an has been hiding his true power very well.”

“No, it’s Bihu Mountain that’s been keeping everything hidden; Lu Ping’an, Lu Wangshu, and Lu Qingxian are all hiding their strength!”

“Family Head, what should we do now?”

The high-ranking members of the Jin Family looked worried.

Their enmity with Bihu Mountain had long been settled.

Xuanwu Ridge was far from Bihu Mountain,

but Jinlong Ridge was close to Bihu Mountain and even bordered White Tiger Mountain.

If Lu Ping’an stayed in White Tiger Mountain long-term, the Jin Family would have to remain on high alert constantly.

“We should consult the Patriarch.”

The Jin Family Patriarch laughed bitterly.

Their family was already quite weakened, barely holding on. All they could do was try to stabilize the situation.

But now, with Lu Ping’an as another powerhouse of Bihu Mountain, the balance of power between the two families was likely to be reversed.

A quarter of an hour later,

the Jin Family Patriarch and several elders went to Jinlong Peak to meet Jin Zan.

“What!? Sima Tong was suppressed by Lu Ping’an? That’s impossible!”

In the Great Hall, Jin Zan heard the Patriarch’s report and immediately expressed disbelief.

Sima Tong had been a False Core cultivator for decades, with a life-bound treasure, and his combat power far exceeded Jin Zan’s.

But such a seasoned False Core cultivator was suppressed by Lu Ping’an, a junior from the Lu Family?

If he hadn’t known that the Jin Family Patriarch and the others wouldn’t dare joke with him like that, he would have thought they were trying to fool him.

“Why does Heaven so favor Lu Changsheng?”

Seeing the grim expressions of the people around him, Jin Zan sighed deeply, his eyes filled with jealousy and helplessness.

He was well aware of the recent events concerning Lu Wangshu and Lu Qingxian.

So, his first reaction wasn’t fear of Bihu Mountain’s current strength.

Instead, it was fear of Bihu Mountain’s potential in the future!

He was afraid Bihu Mountain was still holding back more power!

Because the truth was too astonishing!

Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge, who cultivated a DDal Cultivation Method.

Lu Wangshu, who inherited Lu Changsheng’s Talisman Making Inheritance.

Lu Qingxian, who had just entered the Foundation Establishment stage but managed to kill two Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Jin Family.

Lu Ping’an, so young, yet already possessing False Core combat power!

And then Lu Qingshan, who had joined the Yue Kingdom Immortal Sect!

Thinking about these children of the Lu Family, Jin Zan felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Although the Jin Family had a few talented seedlings,

compared to Lu Ping’an, Lu Qingshan, and Lu Wangshu, they were nothing.

Moreover, the family had already exhausted its resources to help him break through to False Core,

so there was nothing left to cultivate new Golden Core prospects; they could barely maintain the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

“Expand our forces even further, stabilize the current situation, and stay on high alert.”

“The Sima Family is unlikely to let this go lightly, so let’s first observe their reaction.”

Jin Zan sighed weakly.

In his younger days, he had been bold and ambitious.

But ever since the previous generation Patriarch of the Jin Family was killed by demonic cultivators, and the family’s survival rested solely on his shoulders, he had become cautious.

“Although the Wang Family is currently in decline, even a dying camel is bigger than a horse.”

“I’ve heard that the Wang Family has been seeking alliances through marriage with other forces. Go and see what their intentions are.”

After a moment of thought, Jin Zan continued.

“The Five Elements Wang Family.”

The Jin Family Patriarch paused when he heard this.

He had considered this before,

but the Five Elements Wang Family was under the control of the Sunset Glow Sect.

Moreover, the Five Elements Wang Family didn’t have a good relationship with the Beast Taming Xu Family. If they tried to befriend the Wang Family, it might upset the Xu Family.

Seeing the Jin Family Patriarch’s hesitation, Jin Zan continued, “You can also reach out to the Xu Family and the Shangguan Family.”

“Yes, Patriarch.”

The Jin Family Patriarch and the others nodded solemnly.

They knew the Patriarch intended to give up some benefits to gain an advantage.

Bihu Mountain.

The news of Lu Ping’an and Ling Zixiao suppressing a False Core Patriarch spread wildly, and naturally, the members of the Lu Family heard about it.

Many of them saw their father bringing back their aunts and elder brothers, realizing that this was not a rumor but likely true.

“I thought Wangshu was already unbeatable, but I didn’t expect Big Brother to…”

“A False Core Patriarch… Big Brother actually suppressed a False Core Patriarch… Does that mean Big Brother has become a False Core Patriarch?”

“Our Family has become a False Core Family!”

Many of the younger members of the Lu Family were excited and thrilled.

Simultaneously, many cultivators and family representatives came to Bihu Mountain to verify the truth of the matter.

“It’s true.”

Though Lu Changsheng, Lu Ping’an, and Ling Zixiao did not show up.

Lu Xingyang and Lu Miaoge responded to the innuiries directly.

During this, Lu Miaoge shared shocking neww with other allied families: her husband Lu Changsheng had advanced to a Third-Tier Talisman Master!

“A Third-Tier Talisman Master!!!”

“Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!”

The news stunned everyone, and they all gasped.

A Third-Tier Talisman Master might not have the same status as a Golden Core cultivator, but they were equivalent to a False Core in importance.

Especially since Lu Changsheng, as a Talisman Master, also mastered the Talisman Making Inheritance.

He had even teamed up with Lu Miaoge in the past to defeet the Jin Family Patriarch, a False Core cultivator!

Now that the Lu Family had stable access to Third-Tier Talismans, even most False Core cultivators would be no match for Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge..

“Congratulations to Lady Lu, congratulations to Master Lu!”

“Congratulations on advancing to Third-Tier Talisman Master, the future Golden Core Formation is within reach!”

The family patriarchs and cultivators present were both amazed and congratulated them.

The news was just as shocking as Lu Ping’an suppressing the Sima Patriarch.

Now that Lu Changsheng had revealed himself to be a Third-Tier Talisman Master, and Lu Ping’an possessed False Core-level combat power, the Lu Family of Bihu Mountain had firmly established itself as a False Core Family.

“At my daughter Wangshu’s Foundation Establishment ceremony in two months, my husband will present a few Third-Tier Talismans for auction as a gift.”

“I’d appreciate it if you could help spread the word. If anyone has the Natural Treasures we need, they can also be exchanged for Third-Tier Talismans.”

Lu Miaoge, dressed in a simpll and elegant white palace robe, with her silky black hair styled into a flying immortal bun adorned with azure jade beads, looked both graceful and noble.

Professions like Formation Masters, Pill Refiners, Equipment Refiners, and Talisman Masters could prove their grade by selling their respective pills, tools, and talismans.

Alternatively, they could take a test at a relevant organization to establish their reputation indirectly.

Naturally, Lu Changsheng chose the simplest method: selling and auctioning talismans.

Although it was possible to fake this,

few would be willing to use a Third-Tier Talisman for deception.

Besides, if the deception was uncovered in time, people would question its authenticity.

“Master Lu is so generous!”

“Rest assured, Lady Lu, we will certainly help spread the word.”

“Lady Lu, may I ask what kind of Natural Treasures your Family needs right now?”

The cultivators present were all excited and pleased to hear her words.

For Lu Changsheng, Third-Tier Talismans weren’t a big deal anymore.

But for these cultivators, they were incredibly precious!

To possess a Third-Tier Talisman was like having an extra life-saving tool.

When encountering a danger, just revealing a Third-Tier Talisman would be enough to deter most Foundation Establishment cultivators.

“The same materials we sought for the Foundation Establishment Pill.”

Lu Miaoge said with a gentle mile, her demeanor graceful and refined.

More and more cultivators continued to visit Bihu Mountain.

Apart from offering congratulations and seeking information, many family powers came to discuss collaboration or even asked to become vassals of the Lu Family.

The cultivation world was unpredictable.

You never knew when disaster would strike or when you might run into demonic cultivators or robbers.

Although these families were under the jurisdiction of the Azure Cloud Sect,

the Azure Cloud Sect rarely intervened in the affairs of these families.

They only stepped in when dealing with demonic or devil cultivators.

If two families fought, as long as it didn’t go too far or cause too much commotion, the Azure Cloud Sect would turn a blind eye.

If they sought the Azure Cloud Sect’s intervention, both families would pay a hefty price.

So, many families preferred to find their own backers.

However, the families seeking Bihu Mountain’s protection weren’t foolish.

Most of them were in unfavorable situations and wanted Bihu Mountain’s support to get through the crisis.

Others saw the Lu Family’s rise as a False Core Family and anticipated territorial expansion, hoping to benefit by becoming vassals.

“As for becoming vassals, we can discuss it later, seniors and friends.”

Lu Xingyang addressed the family patriarchs who expressed their desire to become vassals.

The Family had long since discussed this and indeed planned to accept a few vassal families.

However, the Lu Family wasn’t accepting just anyone.

Other than divulging some information during family visits,

Lu Changsheng also instructed the family to publicly and privately promote his status as a Third-Tier Talisman Master, and the details of Lu Ping’an and Ling Zixiao’s battle against the Sima Patriarch, emphasizing the importance of Third-Tier Talismans.

After all, Lu Ping’an’s suppression of a False Core Patriarch at his age was quite shocking.

So it was necessary to provide additional explanations to dampen the shock a bit.

Being a Third-Tier Talisman Master, with access to Third-Tier Talismans and strategic battlefield setups, made it easier to explain how Lu Ping’an was able to suppress the Sima Patriarch.

Meanwhile, inside a secret chamber,

Lu Changsheng was using the Six Desires Demon Heart Manual on the Sima Patriarch with Bing’er by his side.

But it wasn’t a soul search.

It was simply to disturb the soul so that they could extract information from the Sima Patriarch, such as finances, technique inheritance, and other secrets.

With his Taiyi God-Soul, comparable to a Golden Core peak cultivator, it was easy to take measures against a False Core Patriarch like Sima,

but the Six Desires Demon Heart Manual wasn’t fully effective as it lacked the Seven Emotions and Six Desires for cultivation, making the result mediocre.

He could only obtain superficial information; deeper information might trigger a subconscious defense, possibly waking the Sima Patriarch.

“The Sima Family really does have some tricks up their sleeve to have survived for so long.”

Lu Changsheng chuckled lightly.

Although the Sima Family only had two False Core cultivators, their foundation was anything but ordinary.

If necessary, they could cultivate a new False Core cultivator in the shortest time.

However, for the Sima Family, having two False Core cultivators was already enough.

Continuing to cultivate another would be a waste.

They would only consider cultivating a new False Core once their current ones died to continue the family line.

Moreover, Lu Changsheng learned that the Sima Family had another secret, an ancestral Black Tortoise.

This Black Tortoise was currently a quasi-Third Rank creature and had been in a long period of slumber.

It might, after several centuries, advance to the Third Rank.

“These tortoise-type spirit beasts are perfect as the guardian beasts for a family.”

Lu Changsheng sighed.

The Beast Taming Xu Family had a Black Tortoise Spirit Beast, and so did the Sima Family. He even remembered the Spirit Control Sect had one too.

This reminded Lu Changsheng of his Cold Jade Mysterious Turtle.

But these tortoise-type spirit beasts really grew slowly.

Forty years had passed, and the Cold Jade Mysterious Turtle had just reached the mid-First Rank.

Even Lu Changsheng was speechless.

Even Lu Wangshu was speechless about its growth rate.

After all, this Cold Jade Mysterious Turtle wasn’t raised in the wild.

It had been well-fed and often placed in the Ancient Beast Taming Talisman to accelerate its cultivation.

“Should I…”

Lu Changsheng stared at the Sima Patriarch, deep in thought.

He considered whether it might be better, after ransoming Sima Tong back, to find an opportunity to kill Sima Yue, the other False Core cultivator.

That way, the Sima Family would be on par with the Jin Family, without posing much of a threat.

After all, Sima Tong’s life-bound treasure had already self-destructed, damaging his foundation. His combat power might no longer be any better than that of Jin Zan, a whiteboard False Core.

“Master.”

Just then, Sumeru’s voice echoed in Lu Changsheng’s mind, indicating that Bai Ling’s light cocoon was showing signs of change.

“Alright.”

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng immediately commanded Sima Tong to remain unconscious and left with Bing’er for the Hall of Everlasting Life.

There, inside the Cave Dwelling,

Bai Ling, inside her platinum light cocoon, was radiating a faint, holy brilliance, with subtle cracking sounds coming from it.

“Crack, crack, crack——”

As the cracking sounds continued, fine cracks appeared on the light cocoon.

When the cracks became dense, the entire light cocoon suddenly split open, releasing an endless divine and brilliant white light, illuminating the entire Cave Dwelling.

“Brother~~~”

Amidst the holy and splendid light, a joyful voice echoed.

Bai Ling stood in the light, her lithe and enchanting figure as white as jade, her long, sleek black hair cascading to her waist, contrasting with her black-and-white features.

Her delicate and pure face, along with her curvaceous figure, seemed to have become even more mature, exuding an irresistible charm.

But the most notable change was the disappearance of the platinum scales on her skin.

Her skin now looked like that of an ordinary person, soft and smooth, as if coated with pearl powder, exuding an unmatched allure.

“Brother, I’m pregnant!”

Bai Ling, with her graceful and soft jade-like body, threw her arms around Lu Changsheng, her misty eyes full of delight.

“Pregnant?”

Lu Changsheng was surprised and delighted upon hearing this.

Back when they consumed almost all the power of the Yin-Yang Spirit Integration Pill, Bai Ling suddenly fell into a deep sleep, forming a light cocoon, which worried him that she might not have conceived.

If she hadn’t conceived, the Yin-Yang Spirit Integration Pill would have been wasted.

But now hearing this news from Bai Ling, the burden on his mind was lifted, and he eagerly awaited the birth of this child.

“Come, let me take a look.”

Lu Changsheng smiled and gently rubbed Bai Ling’s smooth and flat belly.

Her skin was incredibly soft and smooth, almost impossibly so.

After a moment, he felt the faint presence of new life inside her belly.

It had only just formed, so he couldn’t discern anything unique about it.

Moreover, some of the Yin-Yang Spirit Integration Pill’s power still hadn’t fully been absorbed.

A portion of its efficacy would be used in nourishing the fetus as it developed.

“Ling’er, did you have a bloodline awakening?”

Lu Changsheng asked gently, looking at the pure and lovely Bai Ling before him.

“Yes.”

Bai Ling, full of joy, nodded.

She explained that the Yin-Yang Spirit Integration Pill had stimulated her bloodline, letting her obtain part of her bloodline inheritance.

This inheritance included a certain technique.

It also made her naturally adept at the body metamorphosis that produced the scales.

“Bloodline inheritance? Body metamorphosis?”

Lu Changsheng was a bit surprised.

He hadn’t expected that Bai Ling’s bloodline awakening would grant her a bloodline inheritance.

Usually, only when a demon beast ascends to the Third Rank and becomes a Demon King can they possibly awaken a bloodline inheritance or an innate divine ability.

Bai Ling’s bloodline was thin,

so it should have been very difficult to obtain her bloodline inheritance.

This indirectly indicated that Bai Ling’s bloodline was far from ordinary.

It was very likely, as Hong Lian had mentioned, some kind of true spirit bloodline.

“Little Ling’er, do you know what your bloodline is?”

Lu Changsheng asked curiously.

“I think it’s called ‘Bai Xi.'”

Bai Ling replied somewhat uncertainly.

Her bloodline inheritance was incomplete, so the information was limited.

“Bai Xi?”

Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow, having no idea what kind of demon beast this was.

He planned to ask Hong Lian about it later.

Then he asked Bai Ling about the technique from her bloodline inheritance.

He wanted to assess the grade of this technique.

“Brother, the technique is called the ‘Spirit Music Secret Manual.’”

Bai Ling had nothing to hide from Lu Changsheng, so she immediately revealed her technique inheritance.

“Spirit Music Secret Manual?”

Lu Changsheng was surprised by the name; it didn’t sound like a technique from the demon race.

From Bai Ling’s detailed explanation, he learned that it was a rare sound-based technique specializing in sonic attacks.

In terms of grade, it seemed to be between Side Door and Orthodox grades.

However, this technique could only be cultivated to the Fourth Rank; it felt like a precursor to a higher-Tier technique.

It was possible that when Bai Ling reached a certain level of cultivation and awakened more of her bloodline, she might gain the follow-up techniques or an upgrade.

“Such a considerate gift from the demon race’s bloodlines.”

“Just by awakening part of her bloodline, she gained a Top-Tier technique!”

Lu Changsheng exclaimed.

While he possessed several Side Door and Orthodox techniques, and even true immortal-Tier techniques.

For most cultivators, a Side Door technique was already considered Top-Tier!

Bai Ling was still in the Foundation Establishment stage,

and she had only awakened a portion of her bloodline, yet she had been given this Top-Tier technique.

If she continued to awaken more of her bloodline, perhaps through atavism, she might even gain a Profound or true immortal-Tier technique.

Given the inheritance technique alone, Lu Changsheng realized Bai Ling’s ‘Bai Xi’ bloodline was extraordinary.

It was undoubtedly a true spirit bloodline!

“Brother, while I was asleep, my technique automatically transformed into the Spirit Music Secret Manual. I can’t help you raise little snakes and fish anymore.”

At this moment, Bai Ling bit her lip lightly and said with some sadness.

She had always wanted to help Lu Changsheng and do something for him.

So, Lu Changsheng had entrusted her with raising the Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Weapon and taming various spirit beasts. She had always done it earnestly, feeling valued.

But now, her technique had automatically transformed into the Spirit Music Secret Manual, so she could no longer cultivate the Black Dragon powers to foster her Dao Soldiers.

“It’s okay. I’ll assign the Dao Soldiers to someone else later.”

“Little Ling’er, now that you’re pregnant, you need to rest more.”

Lu Changsheng didn’t care at all. He smiled lightly, picked up Bai Ling’s soft, warm body, and sat down beside her.

Nowadays, apart from Lu Ping’an, a few other children at home also practiced the Black Dragon Scripture.

As long as they break through to Foundation Establishment, they can cultivate the Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Weapon with their Qi.

“Mm~”

Bai Ling happily nestled in Lu Changsheng’s arms, reaching out to touch her flat belly, still immersed in the joy of pregnancy.

Finally, she had her own baby.

Looking at her tender and smooth skin, Bai Ling shyly said, “Brother, if you like Ling’er’s original form, I can change back.”

Although Lu Changsheng didn’t mind the scales on her body,

the experiences from her childhood still made her somewhat self-conscious about the scales.

She worried that Lu Changsheng’s words of comfort might only be meant to placate her.

Therefore, now that she could freely transform, controlling the appearance of the scales, she was very happy.

“No matter what Ling’er looks like, Brother likes it all.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the little girl in his arms, lightly pinching her smooth cheek, and said with a smile.

There was no denying it; Bai Ling’s skin felt truly wonderful.

“Daddy, Sister Ling’er, do you want to play a game?”

At that moment, Bing’er, who had been watching the affectionate interaction from the side, blinked her clear, pure eyes and asked.

“Ah…”

Hearing this, Bai Ling’s beautiful face instantly turned red with embarrassment.

“Since Bing’er said so, Little Ling’er, let’s play with her for a bit.”

Seeing Bai Ling’s embarrassed expression, Lu Changsheng’s hand glided over her smooth, graceful body, a faint smile playing at the corners of his mouth as he spoke softly.

During the game, Lu Changsheng remembered Bai Ling’s mention of transformation and how she could change back into her original form. He then asked Bai Ling to transform so he could see.

It wasn’t for any particular reason, it’s just that he’d always praised Bai Ling’s original form as beautiful, so he couldn’t suddenly change his mind, right?

Immediately, a thin layer of shimmering scales appeared on Bai Ling’s flawless, enchanting body.

These scales were similar to the originals but felt even finer and smoother.

However, after hearing from Bai Ling that these scales could appear anywhere at will, Lu Changsheng immediately asked her to change them based on his request.

Moments later, the already alluring Bai Ling, with her scales barely covering her skin, became incredibly seductive.

When Bai Ling activated her transformation ability to the extreme, the scales over her entire body formed an armor that shimmered with a crystal-like luster.

This armor was truly extraordinary.

Its defensive abilities were almost on par with the peak of Foundation Establishment.

Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but marvel inwardly; this wasn’t just an awakened ability.

This was clearly an awakened innate divine ability!

However, with Bai Ling’s gentle nature, even with such a divine ability, she wouldn’t use it to fight anyone.

Afterward!

After the game ended, Lu Changsheng held the exhausted Bai Ling and Bing’er as they fell asleep.
