Zhuo Yan said softly, "What does Big Brother mean?"
Ximen Ying nodded and said, "Investigate this person's identity. I want this person."
Xiao Chen carried Bai, enduring the physical friction and mental torture along the way. When they finally arrived at his courtyard, he heaved a sigh of relief.
However, there was another problem. Although there were many rooms in this courtyard, Xiao Chen had always been the only one staying there. Thus, there was only one room that could be used. The others were all empty; there were no suitable beds.
If it were in the past, there would naturally be no problem. Xiao Chen could sleep on the bed, and Bai could enter the Spirit Blood Jade. Or, it would be fine if she slept beside Xiao Chen.
However, things were different now. Now that Bai had taken human form, it would be inhumane to lock her in the Spirit Blood Jade.
However, if he placed a pretty girl who did not know anything, who would occasionally tease Xiao Chen, by his bed, Xiao Chen would not be able to sleep. He would not even be able to calm down when he cultivated.
It looked like he could only spend the night outside the courtyard. Xiao Chen carried Bai into the room and placed her on the bed. He said, "You sleep first, I'm going to cultivate."
Bai burrowed into the blanket and stretched her body. She looked at Xiao Chen with her large, watery eyes. She said in a melodious voice, "Elder Brother Xiao Chen, come quickly. Let's sleep together."
As Xiao Chen looked at the innocent and serious Xiao Bai, who seemed to take it for granted, he revealed an extremely conflicted expression.
After a long time, he squeezed out a sentence, "Bai, you have already taken human form. There are some things that you cannot do as casually as before. If a man and a woman are not lovers, they cannot sleep together. Do you understand?"
Bai revealed a pondering expression on her delicate and cute face. Her little head was doing its best to digest Xiao Chen's words. She seemed to understand and not understand at the same time.
When Xiao Chen saw her expression, he felt that she was really like a little girl, ignorant and lovable. Tenderness rose in his heart. He knew that some things could not be rushed. He had to teach her slowly.
"Listen to me and sleep early. I'm going to the courtyard to cultivate. Don't think too much about it. Just take it slow," Xiao Chen said softly.
Bai nodded lightly and said, "I'll listen to you and go to bed first. However, if Brother Xiao Chen is tired at night, you can also come and sleep."
Xiao Chen smiled gently and didn't say anything more. He immediately closed the door gently.
He turned around and raised his head to look at the sky full of stars. He thought back to when he had first obtained Bai and how the mature six-tailed spirit fox had protected Bai without any regard for its life. His heart was filled with mixed feelings. For the first time, he felt a tinge of regret for what he had done.
"No matter what, since I have snatched away the love of your life, I will do my best to ensure that she does not suffer any harm," Xiao Chen looked at the starry sky with a calm expression as he made his promise.
It was already late at night. Xiao Chen sat cross-legged on a rock in the courtyard. As the cool and tranquil night breeze blew, Xiao Chen's restless heart slowly calmed down.
The Purple Thunder Divine Incantation circulated slowly. Spiritual Energy flowed over like water. The Spiritual Energy at the foot of the mountain could not be compared to the Spiritual Energy at the top of the mountain.
If he left the Heavenly Saber Pavilion in the future and wanted to find such a good place to cultivate again, it would be very difficult. Xiao Chen wanted to cultivate the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation to the sixth layer before he left.
As he cultivated, time flew by quickly. The stars in the sky slowly dispersed and a faint light gradually appeared on the horizon. Dawn was coming soon.
When the first ray of sunlight shone on Xiao Chen's face, Xiao Chen opened his tightly shut eyes. A bright light flashed in them.
Xiao Chen saw that Bai had woken up at some point in time. She had one hand on the stone table and was looking at him in a daze.
With a flip of his palm, Xiao Chen absorbed the surrounding purple electricity into his body. He got up and walked over to Bai. He smiled faintly and said, "When did you wake up? Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"
Bai slowly stood up and said, "I woke up very early. From today onwards, I will be a man, so I cannot be lazy anymore."
The instant Bai stood up, Xiao Chen suddenly discovered that she was still wearing the robes that he had given her yesterday. Furthermore, it was just draped over her shoulders.
When Xiao Chen stood up, his chest revealed a large patch of snow-white skin. He blushed slightly. It was not very obvious at night. However, it was currently daytime. It was not very appropriate.
Xiao Chen recalled that there seemed to be a set of clothes in his Universe Ring. It was a set of clothes that he had bought for his maidservant Bao`er in the past.
Bao`er's figure was about the same as Bai's. It should fit her well. Xiao Chen searched the Universe Ring with his Spiritual Sense and finally found it. He quickly took it out.
"Wear these clothes first. In the future, you have to dress up neatly when you go out." Xiao Chen handed the clothes to Bai. Then, he looked at her smooth feet and said, "Also, remember to wear shoes."
Bai received the clothes happily. However, after measuring them repeatedly, her delicate face revealed a distressed expression. She said, "However, I do not know how to wear them. Elder Brother Xiao Chen, please help Bai wear them."
Bai asked with anticipation in her eyes. Xiao Chen took a deep breath. There were some things that he had to harden his heart. Bai was already a normal girl. She had to learn these things.
"You have to learn this. You cannot rely on anyone's help. Otherwise, you will not be allowed to go out," Xiao Chen said sullenly.
Bai looked at Xiao Chen's serious expression and nodded seriously. She said, "Bai is very smart. Elder Brother Xiao Chen, don't worry. I will definitely learn it."
Xiao Chen nodded and smiled, "In that case, go quickly. Put on your clothes, I will bring you out."
As Xiao Chen watched Xiao Bai pick up the clothes and head for his room, he revealed a grave expression. How should he explain Xiao Bai's identity to the others? This would be problematic.
However, he could still trust the people of Qingyun Peak. He would just tell them directly. He could not lock Bai up in the courtyard forever. Sooner or later, she would have to go out and see others.
Xiao Chen took out some breakfast from the Universe Ring. He sat at the stone table and ate unhurriedly.
After a while, the door opened with a creak. Xiao Chen put down the teacup in his hand and looked back. His eyes lit up.
He saw Bai wearing a long green dress. Coupled with her pure and cute face, she looked like a little sister.
That pair of almond-shaped eyes added a hint of charm to this pure temperament. The two different temperaments merged naturally, making Bai look very tempting.
Bai walked around Xiao Chen and giggled, "Do I look good?"
Xiao Chen was slightly distracted. However, he quickly recovered. He nodded and said, "You look good. Let's eat something first."
Bai walked over in satisfaction. She came to the table and ate the breakfast in small bites. Her eyes darted around before she said, "Elder Brother Xiao Chen, I want to drink wine."
Xiao Chen smiled helplessly. He took out a bottle gourd and poured her a small cup. He said, "You are only allowed one cup. It is not a good thing for a girl to like to drink wine."
Bai happily held the wine cup in her hand and sniffed it. After that, she happily took a small sip. Clearly, she did not have enough. Then, she finished the wine in the cup in one big gulp.
After she finished drinking, Bai immediately looked at Xiao Chen pitifully. Before she transformed, she often used this trick on Xiao Chen. Now, she unconsciously used it again.
I cannot let her do as she pleases. Xiao Chen put on a serious expression and said, "No, there is only one cup. Eat something."
Seeing that Xiao Chen did not agree, Bai felt helpless. She could only slowly eat her breakfast. The pitiful expression on her face made others want to agree.
In the end, Xiao Chen hardened his heart and did not agree. He had to set the rules slowly. Otherwise, it would be hard to teach her in the future.
After they finished eating, Xiao Chen led Bai to the dueling grounds of Qingyun Peak. Xiao Chen was looking forward to the strengthened Ancient Absolute Saber Formation.
All this while, he had not forgotten his purpose in coming to the Heavenly Saber Pavilion. It was to learn Listening to the Sword and Communicating With It, so that he could awaken Ao Jiao as soon as possible.
As they walked on the mountain path of Qingyun Peak, Bai was very lively. She walked in front of Xiao Chen. She was as fast as the wind, unable to stop. She was very excited.
When Xiao Chen saw this, he thought to himself, Looking at the familiar world from a different perspective, anyone would be excited. This was especially so for Bai, who was still a child.
However, when they approached the dueling grounds, Bai became very quiet. It was as though she was afraid of coming into contact with other people.
Xiao Chen consoled her, "It's fine. The people of Qingyun Peak are all friends. Friends do not mind so much."
Bai nodded her head as though she understood. However, she still hid behind Xiao Chen. She was no longer as lively as before.
Xiao Chen shook his head slightly and took the lead to enter the dueling grounds. Soft shouts came from the dueling grounds. Today was somewhat surprising. Shao Yang and Xiao Meng, who were rarely seen, were cultivating here as well. They were exchanging moves with each other.
When Liu Suifeng, who was exchanging moves with Liu Ruyue, saw his savior, he immediately revealed a smile. He quickly ran over to Xiao Chen.
Liu Suifeng immediately saw Bai behind Xiao Chen. He was startled and immediately became stunned. The smile on his face froze as he stared at Bai.
Xiao Chen coughed twice before Liu Suifeng reacted. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Sorry, sorry. Ye Chen, who is this beauty? Why do I find her familiar? Aren't you going to introduce her?"
When Liu Ruyue, Shao Yang, and the others discovered the situation, they all came over out of curiosity. Their eyes were filled with astonishment.
Xiao Chen organized his thoughts and decided to tell them the truth. There was no point in hiding such things. "She is Bai. She just transformed last night."
Liu Suifeng's expression changed slightly. He smiled embarrassedly and said, "Ye Chen, you must be joking."
Xiao Chen had a calm expression as he said, "Do I look like I'm joking?"
Seeing Liu Ruyue casting a doubtful gaze at him, Xiao Chen nodded and said, "Her situation is a little special. I will tell everyone the exact reason in the future. However, I hope everyone can help me keep this a secret for now."
Liu Ruyue was the first to recover her wits. She said seriously, "Ye Chen, you don't have to worry about this. Bai is the safest here."
Xiao Chen gently pushed Bai to the front of the crowd and said, "Bai, say hello to everyone."
At this moment, Bai was no longer as afraid as before. She smiled and said, "Elder Brother Suifeng, Elder Brother Shao Yang, Elder Sister Ruyue, Elder Sister Xiao Meng, how are you?"
