During cultivation, one often loses track of the passage of time.
However, Bai Sha had set a cultivation limit of one day. When the day ended, she roused herself from her focused state.
Still at Qi Condensation Middle Stage. That’s expected… Hm? Yu Ye is back?
Bai Sha immediately opened her friends list, where Yu Ye’s name was flashing.
She tapped on it, and his message appeared before her eyes.
“Miss Bai Sha, thanks to you, I succeeded in rescuing my daughter. Had you not provided me with that information, I dare not imagine what would have happened to Manman. By the way, I also brought back the Ancient Forbidden Artifact you needed. When should I hand it over?”
Seeing this message, Bai Sha smiled.
Finally…
After failing in her previous life, she had finally gotten her hands on this Ancient Forbidden Artifact in this one.
Just as she was about to reply, she seemed to remember something. She secretly opened her Cultivation Shell just a crack and peeked outside.
After scanning the vicinity, her eyes landed predictably on the figures of Bloodthirsty Swordfish.
The reason they were lurking out there was obvious.
“Truly relentless. They used underhanded means to monopolize the Raging Waves Art themselves, and yet they act as if it’s truly theirs.”
Bai Sha let out a delicate huff.
She immediately messaged Yu Ye: “I’m very glad you made it back safely, but meeting up is difficult for me right now. I’m being targeted by some enemies, and there’s a Mid Foundation Establishment demon cultivator among them.”
Yu Ye’s reply was swift: “A Foundation Establishment demon cultivator wants to harm you, Miss Bai Sha? Naturally, I can’t ignore this. A few of my friends haven’t left yet. We could all work together to resolve your enemy problem.”
Reading this, Bai Sha remembered something crucial: at this point in time, Yu Ye had yet to break through to Late Foundation Establishment. Getting him to handle the Bloodthirsty Swordfish alone would be insufficient.
But asking other demon cultivators for help couldn’t be free, could it?
With that in mind, Bai Sha replied: “Forget about inviting everyone else. My pockets are empty, I can’t afford their compensation. It’s best I just stay hidden here in the Seven-Colored Shell.”
Yu Ye’s next message arrived almost instantly: “How could I let you bear any expense, Miss Bai Sha? During this operation against the Wind-Thunder Observatory cultivators, we acquired quite a few benefits from them. Just the Talisman Papers alone are numerous. I’m sure everyone would be happy to conveniently deal with a single Mid Foundation Establishment demon cultivator along the way.”
Bai Sha’s eyes lit up. If it was free, she certainly wouldn’t stand on ceremony.
She immediately sent a message: “My enemy is a Bloodthirsty Swordfish. If you’re willing to help, we can lure them to Seagrass Slope…”
Swiftly, she laid out a plan on how to lure the Bloodthirsty Swordfish away from the Seven-Colored Shell and ambush them at Seagrass Slope.
This was all something she had experienced in her last life, so Bai Sha could explain it with absolute clarity. Yu Ye immediately agreed.
“It’s decided then. Leave the task of drawing the Bloodthirsty Swordfish out to you, Miss Bai Sha.”
“I should be the one thanking you. Once the Bloodthirsty Swordfish are dealt with, the spoils they carry can be divided among everyone,” Bai Sha messaged back.
The matter had gone far more smoothly than expected. Now, it was time for action.
She opened her Cultivation Shell and swam out into the open water, neither fast nor slow.
