A single sentence instantly froze the White Tiger's body. Its massive head rapidly lowered, meeting the tiny green bean eyes of the little demon beast.
"What did you say?"
The little fellow jumped in fright, almost falling to the ground. However, seeing it was their Majesty, it didn't press the matter.
"The dark energy is decreasing, meaning she's gradually gaining control of her inner demons... Ow! Your Majesty, you scared me to death!"
If it didn't know its Majesty's temperament, it would have thought it was about to be eaten!
The White Tiger was rendered speechless by this statement. Its gaze was fixed on the maiden enveloped by black mist, silently praying.
Jin Baoer, hang in there!
Meanwhile, inside the immortal mansion, Long Li Xing, who was preparing to possess her, was stopped by the little chick beside him.
"No! If you possess her now, she'll truly never be able to return!"
Long Li Xing knew this too, but if he allowed her to become a demon, Jin Baoer herself would probably wish for death!
"Get out of the way!"
His voice was extremely cold and cruel, terrifying the little chick, which repeatedly retreated, trembling, yet still blocking his path.
At this moment, the final heavenly lightning descended from the sky! With world-destroying might, even the earth couldn't help but tremble!
"BOOM!"
The last strike! Forging and rebirth!
The black energy was instantly dispersed. Bright light illuminated Jin Baoer, and also allowed everyone to see her condition...
She was suspended in the air, her clothes in tatters. Her black hair fluttered in the wind. Her lips were rosy, her features exquisitely beautiful. Her brows were tightly furrowed, showing a hint of stubbornness and fear. In her hand, she now held a sword made of pure silver, with a black dragon coiling around it!
Her aura was imposing!
"Is this... an immortal artifact protecting its master?"
Long Li Xing stared at the scene in astonishment, unable to believe that the sword spirit cared so much for Jin Baoer...
The next second, a torrent of white dots surged towards Jin Baoer, rapidly mending her body. Her fair skin returned to its original state, glowing with translucent brilliance, beautiful beyond compare, like a fairy descending to the mortal realm, beautiful and sacred.
At the same moment, a seven-colored light descended from the sky, nourishing her body. A group of demon beasts cautiously poked their heads out. Realizing there was no danger, they quickly stood on the ruins, absorbing the power granted by the Heavenly Dao!
Beast King Tian Shu and the little demon beast were closest, receiving the most power... He vaguely felt his cultivation loosening! His eyes widened in shock.
Inside the immortal mansion, within a pearl, Long Li Xing withdrew his hand, his gaze complex as he looked at Jin Baoer...
Through the tempering and rebirth of the Heavenly Dao's final lightning strike, her inner demons were completely suppressed! Such a reckless act was probably something only Jin Baoer would dare to do!
At this moment, he suddenly smiled! He finally understood why he was willing to use his once-in-a-lifetime innate skill for this person!
Because... they were the same! Equally crazy and arrogant.
After an unknown amount of time, Jin Baoer opened her eyes and slowly landed. Her body was filled with abundant spiritual energy, and her ethereal, cold temperament was incredibly beautiful, unaffected even by her disheveled state.
The cold touch in her hand made her lower her gaze. She looked at the Soul Severing Sword, which had protected her in both her past and present lives. Her cool demeanor faded, replaced by a touch of gentle familiarity.
"Thank you!"
She had now completely become a cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage! Her foundation was stable, her power immense, and her spiritual energy palpable!
The Soul Severing Sword seemed to sense her gentle touch, its sharp blade flashing with silver light as if responding to her.
"A desperate gamble at a crucial moment... You truly are a mad gambler!"
A soft sigh came. Jin Baoer retracted the Soul Severing Sword, her gaze calm and wise.
"I learned this from you, Senior. Breaking and then establishing!"
Long Li Xing, who had intended to mock Jin Baoer, was instantly silenced by her words. He suddenly laughed! He never imagined there would be a day when he would be rendered speechless!
The sky, which had previously been overcast, now cleared, and the sun was setting...
Tian Shu stood not far away, watching Jin Baoer talking to herself. He immediately thought of the pearl dragon inside the immortal mansion! His face instantly darkened!
Didn't she say she often thought of him? Why was he standing right in front of her, and she was talking to that pearl dragon? He cast a cool glance at the little creature beside him, scaring it so much that it quickly rushed forward and shouted.
"Hey! Human woman, didn't you say you missed our Beast King?"
Jin Baoer looked up at the sound and met the gaze of a certain proud White Tiger. Although she was surprised by the little creature's words about missing the Beast King, she still walked over.
The white demon beast suddenly trembled all over, puffed out its chest, and raised its head with an arrogant air!
"I'm sorry... I damaged your territory."
Jin Baoer stood three meters away and looked up, apologizing softly.
The White Tiger, however, nervously glanced sideways and said in a muffled voice.
"You're... you're welcome. I heard you missed me! So I came out to see!"
For some reason, facing the newly ascended Jin Baoer, he was even more nervous!
Although Jin Baoer didn't know why he was acting so strangely today, the joy of her recent advancement and the satisfaction of suppressing her inner demons made her happy. She said earnestly.
"You really are the Beast King! You're amazing, but that little white cat is also very cute!"
Instantly, the White Tiger blushed! His large, shy eyes widened, staring at her.
"C-cute?"
She called him cute? Did that mean she liked him very much? Yes, it must be! His physique was much larger than that pearl dragon's! Females always preferred strong, robust males!
In his excitement, he trembled all over...
The massive white demon beast suddenly shrank! In a short while, a small cat, entirely white, appeared. Without waiting for Jin Baoer to say anything, it leaped lightly onto her shoulder, its shy beastly eyes slowly shifting away.
"Since you like it, I'll reluctantly transform!"
His arrogant demeanor was incredibly endearing, even making Jin Baoer reach out and stroke his chin.
Inside the immortal mansion...
Long Li Xing watched this scene expressionlessly, his demeanor unchanged. Little Golden Phoenix looked at the situation outside and tilted its head, Jin Baoer liked cute things! It then looked at its own small body...
"Dragon Uncle, do you think Master will like me like this?"
However, when it looked up, the small pearl suddenly flew away and then slammed heavily onto the ground, causing the entire sea of flowers to sway violently, and Little Golden Phoenix was directly knocked unconscious...
If you don't want to talk, don't talk! Why are you so aggressive!
Jin Baoer felt a jolt in her head, thinking her inner demons hadn't been completely suppressed. Her expression instantly turned serious. However, after careful examination, she found no signs of collapse...
"Aren't you supposed to go back?"
A familiar "aren't you" made her pause for two seconds before nodding. However, she wondered why Senior was suddenly speaking like this again.
Not long after, a maiden in a goose-yellow robed dress swiftly flew through the forest. A small white cat perched obediently on her shoulder, exuding an aura of...
