Chapter 49: Brothers in Misfortune, Gathered Together.
That day, Su Lingxi warmed Ji Changle’s bed as usual, her mind already planning her escape.
Just yesterday, Xiao Bai had applied to her superiors for C4 explosives. The mall priced them at three hundred points each.
This made Su Lingxi ecstatic. She bought four in one go and temporarily stored them in Xiao Bai’s warehouse.
When the opportunity was right, she would blow these bandits to smithereens. Although she didn’t know if modern explosives could harm these cultivators, Su Lingxi was tired of being ordered around.
“Little Lingxi, what are you thinking about?”
Ji Changle pinched Su Lingxi’s cheek, and only then did Su Lingxi come to her senses.
“Nothing, just homesick…” Su Lingxi found a suitable reason for herself.
“Homesick? Hahahaha, this is your home.”
When home was mentioned, Ji Changle’s eyes flickered inadvertently.
Seeing that Su Lingxi was silent, she slowly spoke, “Wandering ghosts like us, who can’t even guarantee our own survival, don’t deserve a home.”
Su Lingxi: “Why? You have at least a few dozen people. It should be enough to bully some low-level cultivators to make a living.”
“Heh, in today’s world, the weak are prey to the strong. If we don’t bully them, others will.”
“It’s better to let us benefit. Besides, we don’t kill for money unless it’s necessary. Letting them pay for a lesson is also for their own good.”
Ji Changle spoke with great righteousness, her expression calm and composed.
“Really? You’re really good at making excuses…” Su Lingxi pouted.
“Little Lingxi, I know you have a grudge against our line of work. But if we could live peacefully, who would want to be a wild ghost in the long night?”
Su Lingxi: “There are many ways to survive. Do you have to take this path?”
“Heh, little girl, you haven’t suffered at all, yet you talk so much.” Ji Changle pinched Su Lingxi’s thigh, and Su Lingxi shut up in pain.
“Don’t be so resentful. Come, come over and sleep.”
Su Lingxi obediently shared the blanket with Ji Changle and then turned her back to her, snuggling into her arms.
The whole process was smooth and natural. Ji Changle was very satisfied. The little one was becoming more and more obedient.
Su Lingxi’s face was dark, but there was nothing she could do. She had been beaten into submission…
When I get out, you guys can eat bombs…
Su Lingxi gritted her teeth in hatred and slowly fell asleep.
The next day, there was a lot of commotion in the cave. Many people were running back and forth, and the sound of their footsteps woke Su Lingxi up.
As the only person here with nothing to do, she always got up very late.
Ji Changle was too lazy to call her. For her, it was better for Su Lingxi to sleep than to run around outside.
Before long, Ji Changle packed her equipment and prepared to set off. Before leaving, she didn’t forget to glance at Su Lingxi.
“Little Lingxi, there’s a big fish today. Just wait. I’ll give you something good to eat tonight!”
With that, Ji Changle didn’t forget to chain Su Lingxi’s foot to the bed.
Su Lingxi didn’t speak, and it was impossible for her to say something like “come back safely.” But she had to admit that Ji Changle had not treated her badly in terms of food.
She felt that she had gained some weight and even had a small belly.
Ji Changle left, and only three or five people were left in the cave to guard it.
Among these three or five people, one was even specially left to watch her.
That guard’s eyes were strange, and his lustful gaze was fixed on Su Lingxi’s figure, unabashedly.
Su Lingxi was disgusted by this gaze and had to cover her body with the blanket.
The guard could only give up.
Su Lingxi had nothing to do and could only talk to Xiao Bai.
This time, Xiao Bai brought good news: an opportunity for Su Lingxi to escape.
“I’ve recently detected some strange energy fluctuations in the vicinity. These energy fluctuations seem to be brewing something…”
“Xiao Bai, don’t be mysterious. What’s going on?” Su Lingxi asked anxiously.
“Do you remember the clue I told you about the Netherfrost Dew?” Xiao Bai mentioned.
Of course, Su Lingxi remembered. It was the last ingredient for the Ice Heart Jade Dew Pill.
As for the clue, Xiao Bai had said that the Netherfrost Dew was in a place called the Snow Realm.
“Snow Realm? You mean my chance to leave this place is related to the Snow Realm?”
“Yes, the Snow Realm is a secret realm in the Glacial Snow Domain, equivalent to an independent small world. This independent small world is affected by the spiritual energy of this world.”
“The last time it opened was a hundred years ago. This time, I’ve sensed a precursor to the Snow Realm opening.”
“It’s most likely because you and Su Yuebai awakened the Exquisite Body, causing the spiritual energy of this world to change, which is why there are signs of the Snow Realm opening early.”
“So?” Su Lingxi continued to ask.
“When this kind of secret realm opens, it will be accompanied by huge energy fluctuations, such as causing avalanches or earthquakes.”
“And that’s the key. If my senses are correct, the place where the Snow Realm opens is no more than five kilometers from your location.”
Su Lingxi understood, and her eyes instantly lit up. “You mean I can take advantage of the chaos to escape?”
Xiao Bai: “Yes, that’s right. They will definitely be in a mess then. This is your chance!”
“But the problem is, they will be affected by the opening of the secret realm, but so will we. Don’t let the earthquake or avalanche bury me first…”
Hearing this, Xiao Bai couldn’t help but cover her face. “You’re too pessimistic!”
Su Lingxi: “…”
Now she finally had something to look forward to. But Xiao Bai didn’t know the specific time when the Snow Realm would open, only that it would be within a week.
In these seven days, Su Lingxi had to make preparations early. She would bury the explosives first, and then it would be best if the earthquake and avalanche came at the same time.
Blow them to kingdom come!
Su Lingxi had been planning the most perfect plan in her mind. It was only when Ji Changle and her group returned that Su Lingxi came to her senses.
Ji Changle dragged her tired body and threw a longsword on the ground. “I caught another one from the Snowfall Sect today. This guy was quite arrogant, so I brought him back.”
“Little Lingxi, you’re both from the same sect. Maybe you’ll have something in common~”
With that, Ji Changle clapped her hands, and the bald man and the balding man threw a man in the uniform of an outer court disciple of the Snowfall Sect on the ground.
The man’s face had many cuts and bruises, and his hands were tied.
The man cursed, “Damn it, you treasure-robbing group. You dare to trick me. When I get out, I’ll kill you all!”
The bald man impatiently kicked the man in the stomach. “Behave yourself. You’re still shouting after being caught. If you shout again, I’ll let you taste my underwear that I haven’t washed for thirty days.”
Hearing this, the man tightly shut his mouth, afraid that that biochemical weapon would be stuffed into his mouth.
Su Lingxi’s eyes narrowed slightly. She felt that this man’s voice was extremely familiar, not just his voice, but also his somewhat messy beard.
The man also sensed something and looked up to meet Su Lingxi’s gaze. The two of them exclaimed at the same time, “Holy crap… Big Brother Xiao (Sister Yuebai), what are you doing here?”
