I'm About to Die, Can't I Buff My Junior Sister's Strength?

160: Brother Nian, your Ji Ba is here!”Sister Liu, what is a chaos bone?” Xia Youyue quickly asked via telepathy when she heard the shock in her mind.

The willow tree fell into deep thought, but quickly suppressed the shock in its heart and began to explain: ”The Innate chaos bone is unique to the Innate Chaos Body, which is ranked first among the three thousand Divine Bodies. However, your Senior Brother is clearly not an Innate Chaos Body, yet he has condensed an Innate chaos bone. This should be utterly impossible!”

”It’s like you’ve never had a supreme bone, nor have you been to that relic, and then one just grew out of thin air. Do you understand?”

After hearing the willow tree’s explanation, Xia Youyue was also stunned. She then glanced at the White-robed Figure, whose aura was gradually receding, and immediately sent a telepathic message: ”Sister Liu, I told you, Senior Brother cannot be judged by common sense. His existence itself defies all laws...”

This time, the willow tree did not refute, but kept staring at Shen Nian, as if trying to see through him.

At this moment.

Shen Nian also retracted his Chaos aura, then glanced at Xia Youyue, saying indifferently: ”Hmm, it’s good that you understand. Back to business, I have a task for you this time.”

”Senior Brother, please tell me,” Xia Youyue respectfully asked, a hint of doubt in her eyes. Could it be that he wants me to grow a supreme bone right away?

This is a bit... never mind!

If Senior Brother gives the order, I’ll go all out!

”For this Nine Peaks Grand Competition, you will represent the Ninth Mountain and crush the other eight peaks, understand?” Shen Nian said with his hands behind his back. He had initially planned to let Xiao Qinger participate as well, but Murong Chen told him that Xiao Qinger had some Family matters and had returned home. Just as he was wondering whether to drag her back, Xia Youyue appeared.

Perfect, let her go. The Daughter of Destiny should also make a name for herself.

Another reason was that Shen Nian felt it would be beneath him to participate. A group of youngsters who hadn’t even reached the Soul Transformation Realm weren’t worth his effort.

Upon hearing Shen Nian’s words, Xia Youyue was stunned.

Nine Peaks Grand Competition?

I’ll represent the Ninth Mountain!

Immediately, Xia Youyue cupped her hands with an extremely solemn expression and said, ”Yes, Senior Brother, Youyue will definitely not disappoint Senior Brother and will take first place!”

To let me represent the Ninth Mountain, what immense trust this is!

I will definitely not bring shame to the Ninth Mountain!

She secretly vowed in her heart.

”Not first place, but crush them, understand?”

A strange glint flashed in Xia Youyue’s eyes, and she cupped her hands again, saying, ”Yes, Senior Brother!”

At this time, the willow tree in the Heaven-Controlling Bottle was still deep in thought.

”Mm,” Shen Nian nodded in satisfaction, then turned and walked away.

”Follow me.”

Xia Youyue followed Shen Nian’s retreating figure.

Ninth Mountain.

Unlike the other wooden houses, this one was built of purple bamboo, radiating faint purple light under the moonlight, giving it a somewhat ethereal quality.

Pushing open the door.

The room was clean and tidy, all living items made of purple bamboo. There was also a rare, subtle fragrance in the air that made one feel refreshed and invigorated.

In the center, on a bamboo wall, a scroll hung.

The scroll depicted a woman, dressed in a cyan long gown, with a slender figure and a light veil over her face, yet it could not conceal her Heavenly Immortal-like exquisite features. Her smooth, dark hair cascaded down, and in her jade-like hand, she held a long sword, resting it behind her. A faint smile graced her lips, emanating a sense of warmth.

Although she was beautiful, she also exuded a sense of approachability. Despite carrying a sword, one inexplicably believed she wasn’t a bad person.

Shen Nian walked closer, gazing at the scroll, revealing a trace of gentleness for the first time as he softly said.

”This is our Revered Master, the Mountain Lord of the Ninth Mountain, Luo Li!”

”Qinger has met Revered Master before, but you haven’t. To avoid awkwardness when you meet later, I specifically brought you here to memorize Revered Master’s appearance...” Shen Nian said softly, a hint of contemplation in his eyes.

It wasn’t hard for him to see that his beautiful Revered Master was quite extraordinary. After returning to the Ninth Mountain, with his current cultivation, he could tell that the Ninth Mountain was unusual; unlike the other eight peaks, it seemed not to belong to this world, constantly imbued with Dao rhyme.

Could it be another Daughter of Destiny?

But if that were true, how would he handle it?

Take her as a Junior Sister?

That would be a mess!

At this thought, Shen Nian felt a headache coming on and rubbed his temples.

Forget it!

He’d deal with it when it happened.

What if she wasn’t?

Xia Youyue, who was following him, heard this and respectfully bowed to the scroll, earnestly imprinting the image of this peerless woman in her mind.

”Eh?”

”This woman...”

The surprised voice of the willow tree sounded in her mind, and Xia Youyue asked in confusion: ”What’s wrong, Sister Liu?”

”No... nothing...” The willow tree frowned slightly, as if pondering some memories. She seemed to have seen someone extremely similar to this woman somewhere... but for some reason, she couldn’t recall it!

This made her feel solemn. With her cultivation, even if she was severely injured, it shouldn’t affect her memory, let alone now that she had seen the other party’s portrait again.

If the willow tree had indeed seen the other party before, and now couldn’t remember, then there was only one possibility!

Someone had erased her memory, or eradicated her traces in this world... Those capable of doing this were few and far between even in the Immortal Realm...

At the same time.

Outside the Heavenly Sword Sect.

A burly and tall figure strode past the crowd, his demeanor arrogant, exuding two words with every move: domineering!

How domineering, you ask? Just look at the masked old man behind him, holding a large banner with the words written in bold, flowing strokes:

”Brother Nian, your Ji Ba is here!”

This caused countless Cultivators at the foot of the mountain to almost lose their composure. If it weren’t for the terrifying fluctuations emanating from this person, which suffocated them, they would have burst out laughing long ago.

What the hell is this?!

Whose Ji Ba?

And the masked old man, beneath his black cloth, his face had turned as black as charcoal. He was a top-tier Elder of the Ji Family, at the Void Return Third Layer Realm, and was the Dao Protector responsible for Ji Ba’s safety on this trip to the Lower Realm.

”Damn it!”

”Who the hell told me that a Goddess was descending to the Lower Realm and needed my protection?!”

”I knew there was a reason no one was fighting for this spot!”

”I’ve been tricked!”

”When I go back, I’ll flay him alive!” Ji Xuqing cursed in his mind, his mouth twitching again as he looked at the arrogant young man before him.

The Eldest Young Master of the Ji Family was famously stubborn!

All the Ji Family Elders kept their distance, and few dared to travel with him!

Mainly because it was just too damn embarrassing!

Look at that, what kind of nonsense is written on that big banner?!

”Young Lord, how about we put away this banner? We already know Lord Shen is at the Heavenly Sword Sect...” Ji Xuqing couldn’t help but transmit his voice, mainly because he couldn’t stand the strange glances from all directions anymore.

He felt like crushing everyone!

”No!”

”After so many years without seeing Brother Nian, the sense of ceremony must be maximized!” Ji Ba replied resolutely.

Ji Xuqing’s mouth twitched.

Can’t you consider Brother Nian’s feelings?

Is this the sense of ceremony he wants?!
