Chapter 171: Planning for the Future
Time was still passing, and Su Lingxi didn’t dare to delay in place for too long.
Xiao Bai had just said that the space in the Snow Realm could not completely collapse.
Su Lingxi took out the map and looked at the safe place marked by Xiao Bai.
The distance was about two hundred miles.
Su Lingxi roughly calculated that two hundred miles in two days, based on her speed.
It was just enough to arrive, even with Jiang Xianyue in her arms.
She didn’t know when Jiang Xianyue would wake up. If she didn’t wake up within two days, then all the price she had paid would be in vain.
The best way within two days was to reach the safe area in the Snow Realm.
This way, even if they couldn’t get out, their lives wouldn’t be in danger due to lack of time.
At least it would be safe after arriving at the destination.
As for getting out, she would think of a way then.
Su Lingxi didn’t dare to delay for a moment. After resting for a few minutes, she immediately carried Jiang Xianyue and continued on her way.
In two days, Su Lingxi almost didn’t rest for a second. She rushed there without stopping.
Finally, with her efforts, she brought Jiang Xianyue to the safe area within two days.
Su Lingxi’s consideration was indeed correct. In two days, Jiang Xianyue still hadn’t woken up.
As the time of the alarm clock prop expired, the space outside began to collapse.
In less than half a day, it had collapsed to the vicinity of the safe area. Su Lingxi found a cave and settled Jiang Xianyue down.
After days of running and physical weakness, Su Lingxi and Jiang Xianyue were almost dehydrated.
Su Lingxi went out and found a water source, filling a cup with clear water.
She raised the cup and drank the water in one gulp.
“Mm… the water quality is not bad. I’ll bring some back for Master!”
After Su Lingxi drank her fill, she filled another cup of water and brought it back to Jiang Xianyue.
Jiang Xianyue’s lips were already dry. Su Lingxi supported her in her arms and fed her the water bit by bit.
Jiang Xianyue drank some water, and her complexion looked better.
Su Lingxi covered Jiang Xianyue with a blanket and lit a fire before walking out of the cave.
Now that she was staying in the Snow Realm with her master, people outside couldn’t come in, and people inside couldn’t go out.
The only hope now was for her master to recover her strength and then open a spatial passage so that both of them could go out.
But… Chuxue must be very worried about me now.
She must be anxious to death seeing me rush into the Snow Realm.
Staying here, she couldn’t talk to the outside world. Su Lingxi couldn’t do anything no matter how anxious she was.
Now Su Lingxi had nothing to do, and Jiang Xianyue was still resting.
Su Lingxi took out the Demonic Origin Pearl and looked at it curiously. The surface of the pearl flickered with a strange light, and demonic power flowed faintly.
Su Lingxi’s heart moved, remembering that Xiao Bai had said that this Demonic Origin Pearl was from her body.
She circulated her spiritual energy, trying to establish a connection with the Demonic Origin Pearl.
At this time, Xiao Bai stopped her. “Are you planning to absorb the Demonic Origin Pearl now?”
Su Lingxi: “What’s wrong? I’ve already got it. Shouldn’t I absorb it?”
“You forgot what I told you before. Once you absorb the Demonic Origin Pearl, you will become a demon. When you have a demonic form, everyone outside will recognize you.”
“Of course, this demonic form can be hidden, for example, by upgrading your disguise technique level.”
As Xiao Bai spoke, she popped up the disguise technique page for Su Lingxi.
The page showed that the current disguise technique level was level 3.
Level 1 disguise technique could conceal identity based on the host’s strength. Experts who were three major realms higher would not be able to recognize it.
Level 2 disguise technique greatly increased this hidden range on the basis of level 1.
Level 3 disguise technique could hide or lower one’s strength as needed. Su Lingxi was currently at this stage.
To hide the demonic form of a demon, at least a level 4 disguise technique was required.
Level 4 disguise technique required six thousand points.
If Xiao Bai hadn’t deducted ten thousand points, Su Lingxi would definitely have swallowed the Demonic Origin Pearl without hesitation.
After all, strength was what she needed most now.
“Alright, it seems that now is definitely not the best time to take the Demonic Origin Pearl.”
“But since the Demonic Origin Pearl is already in hand, absorbing it is only a matter of time.”
What was more fatal was that Jiang Xianyue knew the previous Demon Lord. If she took the Demonic Origin Pearl, she would definitely be recognized.
The main thing was that she didn’t know the relationship between Jiang Xianyue and the Demon Lord.
If they were enemies, then without anyone else taking action, Jiang Xianyue could send her to the West right now.
But judging from Yaoling’s reaction, they shouldn’t be enemies.
In short, the risk was too great. It was better to find a place where no one knew her to absorb it.
Su Lingxi thought for a moment and put the Demonic Origin Pearl back into her spatial ring.
The acquisition of the Demonic Origin Pearl meant that Su Lingxi had no value in staying in the Glacial Snow Domain.
She needed to find the other four Demonic Origin Pearls to complete the main mission.
“Xiao Bai, where is the location of our next Demonic Origin Pearl?” Su Lingxi asked.
Xiao Bai thought for a moment and gave two locations: “There is one in the Purple Cloud Nation and one in the Vermilion Bird Divine Nation. Where do you want to go?”
“The Vermilion Bird Divine Nation…”
Su Lingxi answered without thinking.
Xiao Bai was puzzled. “Oh? Why?”
“Compared to the Vermilion Bird Divine Nation, the one in the Purple Cloud Nation should be easier to obtain…”
Su Lingxi nodded. “Theoretically, yes. But the Vermilion Bird Divine Nation is the strongest mortal nation, and it must contain many opportunities and dangers. To increase strength quickly, one must go to such a place.”
“If I can obtain the second Demonic Origin Pearl in the Vermilion Bird Divine Nation, then… the one in the Purple Cloud Nation shouldn’t be a big problem!”
Xiao Bai: “Alright, I respect your opinion.”
As the sky grew dark, the stars decorated the night sky, and the firelight in the cave flickered.
Su Lingxi sat at the entrance of the cave, checking Jiang Xianyue’s physical condition.
When they first arrived, Jiang Xianyue still had a slight fever, but now her condition was much better.
Su Lingxi always felt that this scene was a bit familiar, as if Su Yuebai had taken care of her like this before.
After getting the Demonic Origin Pearls from the Purple Cloud Nation and the Vermilion Bird Divine Nation, Su Lingxi decided to personally return to the Demon Realm.
The Demonic Origin Pearl in the Glacial Snow Domain had wasted too much time, but it was also because she was weak.
When she became strong, obtaining the subsequent Demonic Origin Pearls would definitely become easier and easier.
Su Lingxi looked at Jiang Xianyue’s peaceful sleeping face and couldn’t help but be fascinated.
She had to admit that Jiang Xianyue was really an ice beauty. It was a waste of her looks to keep a straight face every day.
If only Master could act coquettishly.
Hiss…
Su Lingxi, what are you thinking about!
