127: Chapter 127
"Alright, Mother."
Xiao Bai quickly used Take Human Form to turn into a man in white clothes so his snake tail would be hidden. If that chatterbox Chi Yan saw him, he would definitely get to the bottom of it, and it would be easy to let something slip.
Chi Lin also followed suit and used Take Human Form. Compared to before, her figure and beauty had improved by leaps and bounds.
Before, she was only slightly above average; she wasn't as stunning as she was now.
To avoid leaking the content of their conversation, Chi Lin took Xiao Bai to a sealed space and blocked the entrance, fearing that the three naughty children might barge in.
Xiao Bai was very surprised. He had only heard that giving birth causes one's figure to deform and appearance to turn ugly.
With Chi Lin, it was the opposite. Giving birth was like undergoing a full-body plastic surgery, and the most terrifying part was that her Cultivation had improved so quickly.
In less than a year, both she and Xiao Bai had improved by two levels, but her quality was fierce; this was a Breakthrough from level seven to the Ninth-Level Demon King Peak.
Both in terms of experience points and the difficulty to Cultivate, it was over a thousand times harder than improving from level three to level five.
It had taken Ji An over ten thousand years to achieve a Breakthrough from level eight to the Ninth-Level Demon King.
When talking about the children, Chi Lin was like most mothers, her face always filled with a happy smile.
"Yan'er is most similar to you in personality; he likes to bicker and is also very smart."
Xiao Bai gave an awkward smile. "I've already witnessed it. That little mouth of his can really talk; I can't even handle him."
With only the two of them here, happily chatting about the three children, it was the first time Xiao Bai had felt like a father.
Even when facing thousands of offspring at Pan Si Mountain, he had never felt this way.
It was mainly because he hadn't really taken care of the children he had with the Spider Queen after they were born. By the time he saw them, they were already grown adults, completely lacking the innocence of children.
It was more of a superior-subordinate relationship. Those children absolutely obeyed Xiao Bai's orders, and they were very reserved, even being overly cautious when speaking.
"Can you play with me?"
While they were chatting happily, Chi Lin suddenly blurted this out, leaving Xiao Bai confused.
He also admitted that among these demonesses, currently only Chi Lin could truly fit with him perfectly.
When they were drilling through the cave earlier, he felt that the Snake-Human Queen also had two, as if after entering the dim tunnel, it could split into two openings.
At the time, he was in a hurry to save his life and hadn't studied it carefully, so he wasn't very sure.
"Huh?" Xiao Bai was a bit stunned.
Previously, it was also Chi Lin who had pulled Xiao Bai in first.
After giving birth, in this vast Sea of Lava, having this kind of need was quite normal.
"Only the children and I are here in this Sea of Lava; I hope you can come more often."
"You will help me, won't you?"
Facing Chi Lin's pleading eyes, Xiao Bai couldn't refuse at all.
Now, her figure and appearance after using Take Human Form really made Xiao Bai's eyes light up. Perhaps Chi Lin had discovered the huge benefits that giving birth brought her, which was why she took the initiative to make such a request.
Xiao Bai smiled and narrowed his eyes. "Of course, you are the mother of the children; I would certainly be happy to help."
"What do you need me to do? Use Take Human Form or use my original form?"
A blush appeared on Chi Lin's face, and she was actually a bit shy.
"Let's start with your original form. Our beast forms are similar in size, so they can fit perfectly without appearing awkward."
Pfft!
Xiao Bai decisively turned into a sixty-meter-long Heaven-Swallowing Giant Python. He glanced outside and could clearly see the three children playing and frolicking outside.
"Right here? They will see us in a moment."
Chi Lin nodded. "Don't worry, this place is very hidden. You can't see inside from the outside, and the sound can also be completely isolated."
She also followed suit and turned into a sixty-meter-long Fire Demon Jiao Dragon.
Perhaps she was truly too lonely; she went wild as soon as they started, making Xiao Bai struggle to handle it.
No matter how terrifying experts of the two clans were, when facing a Ninth-Level Demon King Peak, and one who possessed an ultra-long storage bag, they couldn't gain any advantage.
With this going on, it wouldn't end in less than three days and three nights.
Chapter 168: Does this even count as a System reward?
After they were finished, Chi Lin took out a small flame and placed it in front of Xiao Bai.
It was about the size of an adult's thumb, and underneath it was a lotus platform to support the small flame.
Chi Lin brought over a pitch-black stone. "This stone can withstand temperatures of six thousand degrees, but this small flame can easily melt it."
When the pitch-black stone touched the flame, it instantly turned into gas.
"What kind of flame is this? It actually has such powerful might."
"Samadhi True Fire."
Chi Lin recounted the origin of this flame. It was discovered inadvertently when she led the three children to this Sea of Lava and entered the deep underground.
Currently, with her strength, she still couldn't control it; she only knew that she could control the switch of the small flame through the lotus platform.
"I'm giving it to you. You satisfied me very much these past three days; consider it compensation for you."
"With your intelligence, you will definitely find a way to subdue the Samadhi True Fire in the future."
Xiao Bai didn't stand on ceremony with Chi Lin and decisively accepted the small flame. This was the Samadhi True Fire, after all.
He turned the lotus platform to turn off the small flame and put it into his qiankun bag, fearing that it would burn all the treasures inside.
Chi Lin was truly sensible. Every time they finished, she would give Xiao Bai treasures; "paying a high price for a child" was truly well-deserved.
"You should go. You've been away for three days; your companions must be getting anxious."
Xiao Bai smiled indifferently. "It doesn't matter; they are blocked by the Sea of Lava and surely won't be able to leave for a while."
He certainly had no problem swimming across the lava now, and taking Feng Yun and those fox demons with the golden bowl wouldn't be much of a problem either.
But there were also the Demon, Ghost, and Dragon clans; with over three hundred people in total from the three clans, it would probably be a bit difficult to get them all across.
Especially the Demon and Ghost Clans; they had a grudge against Xiao Bai and had attacked him several times before.
In the current situation, Gui Jianchou and Ji An would certainly not choose to make a move on the road, but after finding the Demon Emperors Tomb, it would be hard to say.
Rather than being beaten passively, it was better to take the initiative.
He certainly couldn't win if he did it himself, and it would also destroy the harmony of the Alliance, so Xiao Bai set his sights on Chi Lin.
"Could I ask you for a favor?"
Chi Lin smiled and narrowed her eyes. "Within my capabilities, I will certainly help."
"Can you help me get rid of the Demon Race and the Ghost Clan?"
Just after the allied army arrived at the lava, Chi Lin had already gained a preliminary understanding of them.
"I definitely can't take out both of them at once. Pick the one you hate more."
Xiao Bai chose Ji An without hesitation. He had already formed a deep grudge with him back in the Yu Country, and during the martial arts competition for marriage, he had personally killed Ji An's proud Disciple, Mo Wuliang.
They met again in the Snake-People Territory, and later in the Black Sea, he colluded with the Ghost Clan to plot schemes.
Xiao Bai had long wanted to kill Ji An, but he was helpless due to the vast gap in their strength. Now, with the help of Chi Lin, a Ninth-Level Demon King Peak, he must not let Ji An have a chance to escape this time.
"Then let's wipe out the Demon Race first. They only have about fifty people left, especially that old man Ji An; he must not be allowed to continue living."
Chi Lin clenched her right hand, and a ball of flame emerged; her eyes were filled with killing intent.
"Alright, let's do it."
Afterwards, they discussed the specific details. Xiao Bai needed to stay out of this matter and pretend not to know Chi Lin at all.
Xiao Bai deliberately chose the dead of night to sneak around the cliff cave and return to the camp from there.
This was the opposite location to the Sea of Lava, so even if he were discovered, it wouldn't arouse suspicion.
Just as he flew up from the cliff and was walking slowly towards the camp, Feng Yun blocked his path.
She glared at him fiercely. "Where the hell have you been these three days? You came from the cave side; two female Disciples from the Demon Race are missing. Could it have something to do with you?"
Xiao Bai shook his head quickly. "I'm wronged! I'm not interested in the Demon Race."
"Just looking at that blood all over them, and their appearance and figure are sloppy; even if I were desperate, I wouldn't fancy them."
"I really just went to have diarrhea. If you don't believe me, I'll take you to see."
Feng Yun looked at him with disgust and fanned her hand in front of her nose.
"Disgusting. You've been having diarrhea for three days; your intestines must be about to come out."
Xiao Bai gave a crooked smile. "You said it; I've even lost weight."
"Are they still at the camp?"
"Otherwise? Hurry back. They are all saying that the two missing female Disciples of the Demon Race have something to do with you. Tian Kui wants you to go back and explain, and that old thing Ji An is making a huge fuss."
Just as he arrived outside the camp, he heard Ji An's noisy voice.
"Saintess, quickly hand over the White Snake! My two female Disciples must have been harmed by him."
Tian Kui sat on her chair unhurriedly. "Elder Ji, before the matter is investigated clearly, do not speculate recklessly."
"Who is it, spewing manure! You can doubt my snake character, but you cannot question my taste."
Xiao Bai walked in from outside the tent and retorted directly to Ji An. "Your two Disciples are so ugly that even you wouldn't dare to make a move on them. Did you think I would want them?"
Afterwards, he used his magic power to condense an image in the air. It showed the two female Disciples of the Demon Race sneaking to the lava side in the middle of the night, inexplicably falling into the lava, and instantly vaporizing.
"I just went out to take a dump and happened to run into it. By the time I rushed over, it was already too late."
"I suspect that these two female Disciples of the Demon Race must have encountered bullying. Elder Ji, you are highly suspicious, oh."
Ji An was furious. "Nonsense! I am upright and honorable; how could I do such sordid things to my own female Disciples?"
Ao Wuming said impatiently. "What is there to argue about? The matter is already clear; those two ran to the lava and sought their own deaths. You can't blame anyone."
"Everyone, let's withdraw. Tomorrow, we will find a way to cross the lava. We can't continue to waste time here; we must find a solution."
"If there's really no way, then let's decisively give up on this plan and everyone go back home to live a good life. Why suffer outside?"
