"If it weren't for the fear of holding you back, we would rather stay in that world!"
The thoughts of her parents made Bai Tang feel their nostalgia for that world, and she felt the weight of responsibility on her shoulders. Previously, she helped the Huaxia government out of humanitarianism; now, she was doing it for her parents' wishes. Perhaps for others, the former was more important than the latter, but for someone like Bai Tang, who valued family ties, the latter was definitely more significant.
"I swear, I will bring you back to our world!" Bai Tang solemnly vowed in front of her parents.
After resting at home for a night and enjoying a meal lovingly prepared by Bai Ma—now the whole family had become wealthy landowners with servants to attend to them, so Bai Ma rarely cooked anymore. Of course, her unfamiliarity with the stove was also one reason she seldom entered the kitchen.
Bai Tang opened the system panel and clicked the button for the second time-space portal. Suddenly, her nose itched, and she sneezed; her finger twitched and accidentally pressed the wrong key...
A wave of dizziness hit her, and Bai Tang found herself in an unfamiliar place.
"Damn! When did the third time-space portal have enough energy? Why didn't it give me a warning? System, come out; I promise I won't hit you!"
The system played dead!
With no way to deal with the shameless system, Bai Tang could only survey her surroundings. Her appearance had transformed back into a male disguise from Dream of the Red Chamber; it seemed this world was also set in ancient times.
Bai Tang had landed on a mountain peak where the mountain wind howled fiercely, giving her a taste of "standing atop the highest peak and surveying all mountains." On one side of the peak was an abyssal cliff that separated it from another peak across from it.
The rocks on the opposite peak were blood-red, with a long waterfall cascading down. The most eye-catching part bore three towering characters: "Heimu Cliff"! Bai Tang rubbed her eyes; she wasn't mistaken. So this world she had landed in was from The Smiling, Proud Wanderer? She wondered when this was set. Had Dongfang Bubai become the leader? Had the Lin family fallen? Had Linghu Chong been expelled from Huashan Sect? Was he with Ren Yingying? To find out everything, the fastest way was to visit Heimu Cliff.
Having freely entered and exited the heavily guarded Survivor Base, how could she not stroll around Heimu Cliff with ease? Using her invisibility skill, she confidently wandered around Heimu Cliff. Although Heimu Cliff was the headquarters of a demonic sect, its architecture was unimpressive and lacked any imposing presence; it resembled the layout of Zhuangzi that she had purchased in Dream of the Red Chamber. Bai Tang couldn't help but complain—didn't the demonic sect have its own assets? Why not renovate their headquarters now that they were wealthy?
Not knowing what Dongfang Bubai looked like, Bai Tang stealthily followed someone who appeared to be a leader to gather information. Her luck was good; the person she was trailing was named Shangguan Yun, who later led Ren Woxing and Linghu Chong to infiltrate Heimu Cliff to kill Dongfang Bubai and Yang Lianting as the leader of Baihu Hall. However, at this moment, he held a position slightly higher than an ordinary member.
From Shangguan Yun's conversations with others, Bai Tang learned that Ren Woxing was currently in seclusion and that Dongfang Bubai had just assumed the position of acting leader.
"Ding! Mission: Prevent Dongfang Bubai from castrating himself. Do you accept?"
The system stopped playing dead and popped up a mission prompt. Naturally, Bai Tang chose yes. The leader was one of her favorite characters; although she preferred him after his self-castration when he became extraordinarily charming—her mother had changed his character setting to female, making him less capable. However, even if he accepted being less capable, Dongfang Bubai still appealed to her more than the hypocritical Ren Yingying—though if the leader did not castrate himself, would his ending be better than if he did?
After accepting the mission, the coordinates of the mission target appeared on the map. Bai Tang followed a straight line to Dongfang Bubai's bedroom. Imitating what was shown in the television, Bai Tang wet her finger and pressed it against the paper window, creating a hole the size of a fingertip. She pressed her eye against the hole to peek inside the room.
In the dim candlelight, a handsome man held a glinting dagger, hesitating. His face was a mix of resentment, unwillingness, and malice, revealing his complex emotions.
Finally, the man made up his mind. He swung his right hand down, aiming to sever his most vital part with the sharp dagger when a surge of energy collided with the dagger, knocking it away!
"Who is it?" The man's fierce gaze swept toward the window as he moved, unleashing a powerful attack intended to kill whoever was spying on him.
To his shock, his palm strike dissipated silently as if striking into cotton. Even more surprising was that Ren Woxing was in seclusion; he was the strongest at Heimu Cliff. This sudden appearance was even more formidable than him—could it be someone from Shaolin or Wudang had infiltrated?
"Who are you? Show yourself!"
A young man appeared behind the broken window frame, smiling as he said, "Dongfang Leader, I've long admired your name; it's a pleasure to meet you!"
"A pleasure?" Dongfang Bubai scoffed. "What is your purpose for sneaking into my Holy Cult? State your name; I do not kill nameless individuals!"
"You're quite fiery!" Bai Tang laughed. "I am Bai Tang; indeed, I am an unknown person, which must disappoint you!"
The name Bai Tang had never been heard in the martial world. However, given this person's skills, they could not possibly be nameless.
"Rodent! Are you too cowardly to reveal your true name?"
"Dongfang Leader, although I have always admired you, if you insult me again, I will not hold back!" Bai Tang was getting a bit angry.
"Hmph! It is I who will teach you a lesson!" Without waiting for Bai Tang's reaction, Dongfang Bubai unleashed a deadly attack against her.
At this moment, Dongfang Bubai had not yet practiced the Sunflower Manual but still possessed extraordinary martial arts skills. Each move was powerful and ruthless, aimed at killing Bai Tang to silence her. Bai Tang felt genuine anger from Dongfang Bubai's attack; she had intended to help but was met with hostility instead. Even a clay figure would get angry. Regardless of whether this man was her beloved Dongfang Bubai or not, Bai Tang rolled up her sleeves and fought back.
Using one skill to knock down the leader first, she then resorted to straightforward punches without using any skills or cultivation level, landing blow after blow on Dongfang Bubai's face until he resembled a pig's head.
Bai Tang sat down on a chair and poked the pig-headed face of the leader, who had lost the strength to resist after being thrown onto another chair, saying, "In the future, before you take action against others, you should first understand their strength. If you act without knowing their capabilities, you'll end up like this. You should be grateful that I admire you and won't kill you. If it were Ren Woxing, you'd already be dead!"
Dongfang Bubai glared at Bai Tang in anger. He wasn't that foolish; he wouldn't be so reckless with Ren Woxing. Otherwise, he wouldn't have endured for four years.
Bai Tang ignored the murderous look from the leader and slid her hands down to his chest—not for any inappropriate reason—and pulled out a martial arts Secret Manual from his embrace.
"I'll keep this harmful technique for you!" Bai Tang tossed the Sunflower Manual into her backpack. "By the way, you know very well that Ren Woxing gave you the Sunflower Manual with ill intentions. Why do you still practice it?"
"Ding! You have obtained a level one martial arts Secret Manual: Sunflower Manual. Pay 30,000 taels of Gold to improve the Secret Manual. Do you want to improve it?"
Improve? Was it to enhance the Sunflower Manual into a Cultivation Secret Manual, or would the improved Sunflower Manual allow cultivation without having to castrate men?
Bai Tang decisively pressed confirm! Although 30,000 taels of Gold was expensive, she was eager to know the effects of the improved Sunflower Manual. Whether it developed towards Cultivation or allowed her to avoid self-castration, it would be a good outcome, perfectly suitable for the leader's cultivation.
At this point, Dongfang Bubai had recovered somewhat and at least had the strength to speak: "Who exactly are you? How do you know the secrets of my sect?"
Bai Tang smiled mischievously: "I am a celestial being. Do you believe me?"
Dongfang Bubai: "..."
Bai Tang began to spin a tale: "My family is a secret clan in the martial world that never interferes in major affairs; we only record those events, somewhat like historians beside an emperor. My ancestors were once quite famous in the martial world—one was known as 'Great Wisdom, Great Communication,' and the other as 'Jianghu Baixiaosheng.' Because they learned things they shouldn't have known, they were silenced. With these two lessons, my family has remained silent ever since. However, nothing that happens in the martial world can escape our notice."
Dongfang Bubai: "..." Is this person telling the truth or lying?
"You can't hide anything from me. What will happen to me next?" Dongfang Bubai's lips curled into a sinister smile, but unfortunately, paired with his distorted face, it was truly a sight to behold.
"Of course, you're planning to take advantage of Ren Woxing's critical moment of seclusion to scheme against him and then replace him as the true leader of the Sun Moon Holy Cult?" Bai Tang laughed.
Dongfang Bubai was stunned: "You... really know?"
"Of course, I have inherited the title of 'Jianghu Baixiaosheng'!"
"Then you should know that if I don't cultivate the 'Sunflower Manual', I am not a match for Ren Woxing at all!"
"Even if you want to practice profound martial arts, there's no need to harm your own body!" Bai Tang threw the completed 'Sunflower Manual' to Dongfang Bubai. "This is my private collection, a gift for you!"
Dongfang Bubai looked at the four large characters 'Sunflower Manual' on the cover and snorted coldly, "When did the thing you snatched from my arms become your private collection?"
Bai Tang replied, "It's different. Open the first page and take a look."
At this moment, Dongfang Bubai had completely recovered and regained his ability to move. He curiously opened the first page, his eyes widening in surprise. Where are the eight characters that say 'To practice divine skills, one must first castrate oneself'? They are gone!
"You tore out the first page?"
"Is there any sign of tearing on it?"
The answer is no!
