Chapter 20: Brother, can you bear to treat your sister like this?
Lu Bai retreated rapidly.
Su Yun'er frowned, she hadn't expected Lu Bai to regain consciousness at such a crucial moment.
Whack!
Su Yun'er grabbed Lu Bai's arm with one hand, while her other hand still aimed for his heart.
How could Lu Bai let her have her way? He revealed his Magic Sword and slashed at her wrist.
Su Yun'er was forced to let go.
The two pulled apart.
Lu Bai leaned against the screen, slightly out of breath, but he dared not let his guard down, his eyes fixed on her.
At this moment, Su Yun'er stood up from the bed, fully displaying her alluring figure.
Lu Bai dared not look further, remembering his recent encounter; this woman must be skilled in the art of charm.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
There was something behind Su Yun'er, constantly swaying.
After Lu Bai's peripheral vision caught a glimpse, he instantly realized!
That furry thing was not a toy at all, but... a tail.
She wasn't Human!
"Audacious Prodigy, how dare you cause trouble in the Human Race domain," Lu Bai rebuked.
In this world, there are not only Human Cultivators but also various Demons, Monsters, and Ghosts. Moreover, they all have their exclusive domains. In those domains, the Human Race is the weaker party.
Similarly, in the Human Race domain, Demons, Monsters, and Ghosts must behave themselves. Otherwise, they face mortal danger.
Lu Bai never expected that the empress of Songhe Country was actually a demon!
He sighed inwardly, not wanting to take on missions involving fighting and killing, yet he still had to act in the end.
"Hehehe!"
Su Yun'er let out a string of Smile, glanced at Lu Bai, and said, "Little brother, don't resist anymore, just give in to big sister!"
"Big sister will be very quick, it'll be over in a moment, guaranteed to make you feel very comfortable!"
"Pah!"
Lu Bai scoffed.
"I advise you not to resist either! Although I won't be very quick, I'll try my best to make it less painful for you!"
Lu Bai appeared calm on the surface, but he was still a little nervous inside, after all, this was his first time... killing a demon.
"Hmph! You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!"
After Su Yun'er finished speaking, her whole body's Demonic Qi surged, and after a burst of mist rose, she revealed her true form.
It was actually a fox!
"Su Daji?" Lu Bai couldn't help but blurt out.
No wonder there was such a strong fragrance, it was to cover up the foxy smell!
"What Su Daji? This Immortal's name is Su Yun'er!"
The smaller the demon, the more they like to flatter themselves, often calling themselves 'Great Immortal'.
Su Yun'er extended her claws and struck towards Lu Bai.
Lu Bai sensed the opponent's cultivation, it was higher than his own.
He wasn't sure how Demonic Cultivators' Realms were divided, but if defined by Human Cultivators, Su Yun'er was probably at the third layer of the Qi Training Stage.
Perhaps she was about to Breakthrough to the Middle Stage of Qi Training, because Lu Bai felt that she was more powerful than Wu Xu.
No need to fight head-on!
As the attack came, Lu Bai turned and fled outwards.
"Trying to leave? Hehe!"
Lu Bai hit a barrier with a 'bang', bounced back, his head a little dazed.
A hint of mockery flashed in Su Yun'er's foxy eyes!
"You set up the trap long ago?"
"It's too late now that you know." Su Yun'er was about to launch another attack.
"Wait!" Lu Bai raised a hand to block.
"May I ask one more question, does this barrier also block signals?"
The first thing Lu Bai did after waking up was to send a distress signal to You Lianruo. The two had only just separated, so she should be able to return quickly upon receiving the message.
"That's right!" Su Yun'er said proudly.
Alright!
Lu Bai dropped his last shred of hope; there was no need to stall for time anymore.
"Are you feeling a bit desperate?" Su Yun'er tried to break his will.
"Not at all!" Lu Bai changed the subject: "How about we make a deal?"
"What do you want?"
Su Yun'er was confident that Lu Bai couldn't escape her grasp, so she chatted with him for a few moments.
"You know, I come from Xuanqing Sect, not some small sect. If you kill me, even if you hide to the ends of the earth, you won't escape death! Why don't you let me go, and we can form a good relationship. From now on, we can call each other siblings, and you'll have someone to look out for you in the Human Race domain, how about it?"
Su Yun'er chuckled: "Are you stupid, or do you think I'm stupid?"
"If I let you go, I probably wouldn't live past tomorrow."
"Sigh!" Lu Bai sighed leisurely: "Where's the most basic trust between Humans and demons? Are you sure you can take me down?"
"Hehe! A Cultivator at Qi Training Stage two, it's not like I haven't eaten them before."
"I'm different from them, I'm harder, and sometimes I'll land a Critical Strike!"
"I don't care what you can do. In short, your heart, I'm set on eating it!" Su Yun'er didn't want to waste any more time, she wanted to finish this quickly to avoid further complications.
Buzz!
Su Yun'er moved like lightning, her claws carrying immense force, striking towards Lu Bai. Demonic Cultivators are different from Human Cultivators; they rely more on the power of their Physical Body.
"Go!" Lu Bai commanded his Flying Sword, intercepting her from a distance.
He dared not let her get close. At the same time, he also dared not use any spells.
Lu Bai naturally knew simple spells like Fireball Technique and Water Bullet Technique, but those required a huge consumption of Qi, and he was only at Qi Training Stage two, with not much to spare. It was better to save it for a Critical Strike.
That's right, Lu Bai activated the 'Critical Strike' skill!
You Lianruo had already developed a red heart for him, so the Critical Strike chance must have increased compared to before. As long as he landed one, Su Yun'er would be half-crippled.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged more than a dozen moves.
"Hehe! Don't you have a Critical Strike?" Su Yun'er taunted: "Come on! Big sister will let you strike!"
At the beginning of the fight, Su Yun'er was still cautious, after all, the opponent was a Saint Sect Disciple, so he should have some tricks up his sleeve, right?
But after more than a dozen moves, she chuckled, "Is that all?"
"Don't rush!" Lu Bai was calm and unhurried.
"My Critical Strike needs to build up, when it descends, you'll know how exhilarating it is!"
"Is that so? Then big sister is really looking forward to it!" Su Yun'er finished speaking, her fox face turned cold: "I'm just afraid that before you can even strike, big sister will have already devoured you!"
Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!
Su Yun'er let out a series of piercing shrieks, then spun around and viciously kicked Lu Bai with her strong and powerful hind legs.
At the same time, Lu Bai also roared, "Strike for me!"
Bang!
The two forces collided.
The Magic Sword immediately let out a mournful wail, like a helicopter with a destroyed propeller, swaying and falling to the ground.
And Su Yun'er!
She was like a sack thrown out, smashing towards the distant cloud bed.
Rumble!
The cloud bed shattered into pieces!
Among the fragments, a fox head was revealed, its mouth twitching uncontrollably, its eyes filled with pain and panic.
"Hahahaha!" Lu Bai paused for a moment, then burst into laughter.
That was close! It finally struck!
If it hadn't, he would be the one groaning on the ground.
"Isn't it exhilarating?"
Lu Bai dared not approach. He didn't know how badly Su Yun'er was injured, and perhaps she was faking it; foxes were inherently cunning and treacherous.
Whoosh!
Lu Bai suddenly raised his hand and cast 'Smoky Rain Binding', which he had comprehended from the 'Rainy Life' sword technique.
Su Yun'er's pupils dilated, wanting to dodge.
Unfortunately, as soon as she moved, she was tightly bound.
Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!
She struggled non-stop, but the more she struggled, the tighter the binding became.
Smoky Rain Binding had a Seal effect; the little power she had left in her body was completely locked away.
Phew!
Seeing her caught, Lu Bai finally relaxed, and his body immediately felt a wave of fatigue. Activating the Critical Strike skill, even if it didn't land a critical hit, his consumption was three times the normal.
Buzz!
Su Yun'er transformed back into her Human form.
She said pitifully, "Brother, can you bear to treat your big sister like this?"
