"Ugh, finally I can take a little break. I wonder what level Senior Brother Chen has reached in his cultivation!"
After arranging matters in the blacksmith's shop, Hu Ke'er returned to her chamber to rest. The night passed in silence.
"It's been so long since I last slept in~"
Hu Ke'er slept until dawn. Stretching lazily, she murmured half - asleep.
"Junior Sister, you're finally awake."
Just then, a cold female voice suddenly came from beside Hu Ke'er's ear. She instinctively looked in the direction of the voice and saw a familiar figure. Her mouth fell open in surprise.
"Senior Sister Bai Susu?"
Afraid that she was seeing things, Hu Ke'er rubbed her eyes hard, but Bai Susu in front of her didn't just vanish into thin air.
"Yeah."
Bai Susu nodded slightly.
"Junior Sister, you woke up too late."
"Er... I haven't slept this well for a long time. Since I entered Mount Longhu, I haven't had a single day with eight hours of sleep. Don't you need beauty sleep, Senior Sister Bai?" Hu Ke'er asked in confusion.
"Beauty sleep?"
Hearing Hu Ke'er's words, Bai Susu frowned.
"Yeah. If you don't get enough sleep, your skin will get worse. That's really important for girls!"
"Unnecessary."
Bai Susu said softly.
"Those who cultivate immortality absorb the essence of heaven and earth, which can naturally keep them looking young and beautiful."
"Ah, so that's how it is!"
Hearing Bai Susu's words, Hu Ke'er nodded slightly.
"No wonder those people used to like jogging in the morning so much!" Hu Ke'er muttered to herself.
"So, junior sister, get up quickly."
"Okay, I'm getting up. But Senior Sister Bai Susu, what do you want from me?" Hu Ke'er slowly got up, put on her clothes, and asked softly.
"It's nothing serious."
Bai Susu said.
"It's just that the drunkard asked me to take you for cultivation."
"Take me for cultivation?"
Hu Ke'er frowned slightly and asked in confusion.
"Senior Sister Bai Susu, you should know my situation, right?"
Hearing Bai Susu's words, Hu Ke'er frowned slightly.
"Yes."
Bai Susu glanced at Hu Ke'er and then said softly.
"You showed no spiritual root reaction, but after taking the body - quenching pill, you've reached the body - quenching stage, right?"
"Yeah. So, do you have a way to help me improve my cultivation, Senior Sister Bai Susu?" Hu Ke'er asked.
"No."
Bai Susu answered without hesitation.
"If that's the case, I might as well sleep a bit more..."
Hearing Bai Susu's words, Hu Ke'er felt a bit headache and simply lay back on the bed.
"Get up."
Seeing Hu Ke'er lying back on the bed, Bai Susu said in a cold tone.
"Okay, okay, I'm getting up."
Hearing Bai Susu's tone, Hu Ke'er quickly got up.
"Senior Sister Bai, since you can't help me improve my cultivation, why are you taking me?"
"Improving cultivation is one thing, and improving strength is another."
Bai Susu said calmly.
"Just follow me."
"Okay."
Hu Ke'er quickly got up from the bed.
"Take your Qianji Umbrella."
"I've always had it with me."
Chen Tianyi had given her a storage bag before, and she kept some of her usual props and weapons in it.
"Then let's go."
After saying that, Bai Susu directly grabbed Hu Ke'er's hand, tapped her toes gently, and pulled the still sleepy Hu Ke'er flying out of the door.
"Whoa! Senior Sister Bai Susu, where are you taking me?"
Being pulled onto the flying sword by Bai Susu, Hu Ke'er couldn't help but ask in confusion.
"You'll know when we get there."
Bai Susu replied softly.
"Alright."
Hearing Bai Susu's words, Hu Ke'er nodded.
"By the way, Senior Sister Bai, do you think we have a chance to pass the inner - sect test this time?" Hu Ke'er asked softly.
"I heard there's also an alchemist in our team, right?"
Instead of answering Hu Ke'er's question directly, Bai Susu asked in return.
"Yeah."
Hu Ke'er answered softly.
"I know that among the four of us, Junior Sister Yuan Liuer and I are relatively weak. We may hold you back..."
"It's okay."
Before Hu Ke'er could finish, Bai Susu said calmly.
"You don't need to blame yourself. I'm your senior sister after all. And the alchemist will provide pills. I have no problem taking you two with me. But I may not be able to take full care of you then." Bai Susu said with a slightly concerned tone.
"I see. We should be able to protect ourselves with the weapons I made." Hu Ke'er replied.
"Junior Sister Ke'er, you're underestimating others!"
Bai Susu said softly.
"Here we are."
After saying that, the flying sword slowly landed, and Hu Ke'er got off.
"Where is this?"
Looking around, Hu Ke'er only saw the gray and barren land.
"This is the place where I used to practice my sword. It's called Grey Rock Ridge."
"Grey Rock Ridge. The name suits it well!"
"Okay, let's start!"
Bai Susu said to Hu Ke'er.
"Er... start? How?"
Hearing Bai Susu's words, Hu Ke'er was stunned for a moment.
There was nothing but barren land around. She had no idea what to do.
"Start training. You can attack me with any weapon."
Bai Susu said casually.
"Eh?"
Hearing Bai Susu's words, Hu Ke'er was stunned again.
"Any weapon?!"
"Yeah."
"But you've seen all my weapons. Although my strength is not great, the attack and destructive power of those weapons are quite strong!" Hu Ke'er looked at Bai Susu worriedly.
"Don't worry about hurting me. Attack with all your might. Otherwise, I won't know your weaknesses."
"Okay then."
Hearing Bai Susu's words, Hu Ke'er nodded slightly and then took out a Colt pistol from her storage bag.
"Be careful. I'm going to shoot!"
Saying that, Hu Ke'er pulled the trigger.
"Bang!"
"Clang!"
The gunshot rang out, and then Hu Ke'er heard the clear sound of metal hitting metal. She looked in the direction where the bullet was shot and saw a flying sword hovering tightly in front of Bai Susu, blocking the bullet for her.
"Er, this is possible?"
Seeing the flying sword block the bullet, Hu Ke'er was slightly stunned.
"Your speed is too slow. Do you really think you can protect yourself in your current state? You should know that you were able to pass the outer - sect test because the guy guarding the ring was too careless and underestimated you. Otherwise, you would never have defeated him!"
As her voice faded, Bai Susu had already appeared behind Hu Ke'er. The wooden sword scabbard was already on her fair and slender neck.
