Chapter 136: Baiwa Scroll

As noon approached, the sun was high in the sky over Baiwa City.

Ming looked up at the blazing sun hanging in the sky, with a thoughtful expression.

“What’s wrong?” Qingwan asked curiously, looking at Ming’s profile.

“Nothing.” Ming shook his head. “I was just wondering, if Baiwa City were its own world, what would be the difference between this sun and the one outside?”

“Who knows~ maybe this sun is smaller?” Qingwan replied after some thought. “Anyway, let’s not talk about that. It’s already noon; let’s go eat.”

Ming turned his gaze to Qingwan: “But weren’t you eating just now?”

Qingwan pouted: “What I ate before were snacks. Now we’re having a proper meal.”

Ming: “Is there a difference?”

Qingwan: “Of course there’s a difference~ Snacks and meals don’t go into the same stomach.”

Ming: “Are you sure you won’t get fat like this?”

“Not at all!” Qingwan lightly punched Ming’s shoulder, “I’m an immortal maiden~ Immortal maidens don’t get fat~”

Ming smiled: “It’s the first time I’ve met someone who calls themselves an immortal maiden.”

“What does it matter? Am I not pretty?” Qingwan’s eyes twinkled,

“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore.” Qingwan pulled Ming: “Come on, come on, there’s a tavern ahead that looks quite nice, let’s try it.”

Before Ming could refuse, Qingwan had already pulled his sleeve and started walking forward.

Looking at the girl pulling him forward, Ming couldn’t help but recall when they were young, Qingwan used to pull him out to play like this.

“Master, come and play~”

“Master, come have fun~~~”

“Master, don’t leave~~~”

Qingwan and Ming passed by Baiwa City’s Qinglou.

Cats, snakes, and lizards were enticing customers at the entrance.

All these animals were in their original forms, not transformed into human shapes. Apart from being able to walk upright, they had nothing in common with humans.

But even so, Ming still saw a human guy coming out of the Qinglou.

Ming doubted his own eyes.

Is this guy that hungry?

“Do men like going to Qinglou?” Qingwan noticed Ming’s gaze and asked.

“Don’t say random things, Miss He,” Ming quickly defended himself, “I’m not interested in animals! (At least not in beasts that haven’t transformed)”

Qingwan smirked, “So you’re saying you’re interested in human Qinglous then?”

Ming: “…”

Qingwan: “Have you been to a Qinglou?”

Ming: “Not at all.”

“Really?” Qingwan looked at Ming seriously.

Ming nodded: “Really.”

Qingwan stared at Ming’s eyes, examining them carefully before finally straightening up and lifting her proud chin: “Alright, this maiden will believe you for now.”

“In fact, Qinglou isn’t a good place. My master said Qinglou only corrupts one’s mind and body, which is detrimental to the path of cultivation. Only by resisting temptation can we better follow our own path.” Qingwan began to “brainwash” Ming about the harm of Qinglou.

Ming smiled: “Then may I ask, Miss, what method do you have to help me resist temptation?”

“Of course I do.” Qingwan said cheerfully.

“Oh?” Ming became curious.

Qingwan smirked: “When you want to go to a Qinglou in the future, just think of me. They’re not as pretty as me, so why would you go to a Qinglou~”

Ming: “…”

Seeing Ming’s silent expression, Qingwan pouted: “What’s that look for? Did I say something wrong?”

Ming laughed and shook his head: “No.”

“Hmph, good thing you know your place.” Qingwan turned around and strode forward confidently.

Outside Baiwa City.

A one-legged firebird and a black dog lay on top of a mountain, gazing at Baiwa City.

In their sight, Baiwa City only had continuous walls stretching in four directions, while everything inside was barren wasteland. There wasn’t even a building, let alone a person.

This indicated one thing — Baiwa City was isolated from the world and was about to form its own small world.

“What are we gonna do? We can’t just sit here waiting forever, right?”

Bifang stretched out its wings and slapped the black dog a few times.

“I don’t know either,” the black dog sighed helplessly, “For now, we can only wait. But did you notice something strange?”

Bifang gave the black dog a sidelong glance: “Isn’t it obvious? Someone is trying to refine this rare treasure. It’s just that they haven’t succeeded yet.”

“Hehehe”

The black dog grinned.

“Those people trying to refine the rare treasure must be nearby. If we intercept them halfway and snatch the treasure for ourselves, wouldn’t that be great?”

Bifang blinked: “Seems like there’s some sense in that.”

Black Dog: “Then let’s go~ We’ll search within dozens of miles thoroughly.”

Bifang flew up into the sky, while the black dog activated its mystical powers, sniffing incessantly in the forest, starting a carpet-like search.

Meanwhile,

A flying corpse hopped through the woods and reached a mountain.

If Han and the others were here, they would definitely recognize it — this flying corpse was the one that chased them for half a day back then.

However, after Sheng’s death, this flying corpse stopped attacking and disappeared somewhere.

“Hooowww…”

The flying corpse growled lowly and continued hopping forward.

The flying corpse leaped into a bush and tore it open, revealing a small magic array.

The flying corpse pierced its finger and dripped several drops of green zombie blood.

As the array activated, the flying corpse disappeared from the spot.

When the flying corpse came to, it had arrived inside the mountain peak.

The flying corpse took out a blue bead from its pocket and crushed it.

As the powder from the bead covered the flying corpse, it concealed its presence, and its body became transparent.

The flying corpse hopped cautiously forward.

At this moment, there weren’t many cultivators in Lava Heart Cave, only monster beasts struggling endlessly in the rock wall cages, roaring continuously.

The flying corpse spotted a chained woman and quickly hopped toward her.

“Hooowww…”

The flying corpse emitted a deep growl.

The woman raised her head: “Little Jumper? Is that you?”

“Hooowww.” The flying corpse growled again.

The woman tightly pressed her lips: “The Baiwa Scroll is almost complete. Take this pendant around my neck and deliver it to the cultivators in Baiwa City. As for who to give it to and whether they can succeed, it’s all up to fate. Hurry!”

“Hooowww.”

The flying corpse grabbed the necklace around the woman’s neck, tugged hard, and immediately hopped away toward the cave entrance.
