Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1539: Chapter 1539: Bai Ai Realm

Su Yuanyuan thought about it, “Where should we hide Chen Xiaorui?”

“We have to use Senior Sister Su’s Invisibility Talisman. Li Shaobai didn’t find us, so even the cultivators here won’t either.”

Su Yuanyuan nodded, “Alright, let her sleep for a few more days then.”

The two split up. Su Yuanyuan used the Object Control Technique to place Chen Xiaorui next door but still wasn’t assured. She set up a Sixth Rank Array Plate.

Once again, she approached Sun Qizheng, looking at the puppet on the ground, “Something feels off.”

Su Yuanyuan went over, stripped the outer garment from her, and dressed her in a regular Vestment robe. That improved the situation greatly.

Qi Hao and Qi Xuan were waiting outside, watching the servants of the City Lord Mansion come and go.

“He’s really enjoying himself. Seems like he wants to be an emperor, huh?”

“Probably. Everyone envies each other. The emperor envies immortality, and some cultivators envy the feeling of being above thousands.”

Seeing his myriad concubines indicated he’s completely enamored with mortal life.

“There’s something wrong with the Spiritual Power here in Bai Ai. Look, mortals and cultivators live mixed together here.”

“I’ve seen the sect’s records; Bai Ai used to be rich in Spiritual Power, but it weakened after falling from the Starry Realm.”

They kept waiting until the next day, but no one showed up.

And Li Shaobai hasn’t returned either. What’s going on?

Su Yuanyuan thought that Li Shaobai must be in a dilemma now.

She hoped he would wake up. Otherwise, there’d be no future for him.

Su Yuanyuan really guessed right. Li Shaobai was restless in the cave.

He regretted it. Suddenly he stood up quickly heading toward the City Lord Mansion. Tan Shaoting followed behind him.

Returning to the City Lord Mansion, he went straight underground, and with Object Control Technique, he set up the puppet.

“I’m such a fool, sending you back to the sect. No, this isn’t that person.” Li Shaobai was dumbfounded.

Su Yuanyuan revealed herself, as did Sun Qizheng.

Li Shaobai squinted at them, “Have you been following me all along?”

Sun Qizheng nodded, “Yes, we’ve been tracking you.”

“Why didn’t you stop me earlier?”

“We needed to know who wanted this female disciple.”

Li Shaobai’s expression turned very ugly. He looked at Su Yuanyuan—the woman he liked. She used to be a Foundation Establishment disciple; how could her cultivation now surpass his? And she’s so young?

She must have some heaven-defying treasure, otherwise, how could she advance so quickly? It’s simply impossible.

Sun Qizheng noticed Li Shaobai was slightly entering a state of confusion.

Quickly he shouted loudly, and Li Shaobai regained some clarity.

“Right now, I just want to send this female disciple back to the sect to admit my mistakes.”

Su Yuanyuan nodded, “Fine. We do know you genuinely want to go back and seek forgiveness, and that you still have feelings for the sect.

But before you leave, you must tell me who exactly wants this female disciple?”

“The Miao Family.”

Su Yuanyuan nodded and communicated with Tan Shaoting telepathically, instructing Sun Qizheng and the others to take Chen Xiaorui back while she stayed here.

Tan Shaoting reluctantly revealed himself as well.

Though he understood, Chen Xiaorui couldn’t afford any mishaps now.

Li Shaobai looked at Tan Shaoting, surprised that his cultivation surpassed his own. Could it really be his own inadequacy? But he had already reached the Nascent Soul!

Qi Hao and Qi Xuan also appeared. “The three of us will stay here. You guys head back.”

“Senior Sister Su, be careful. We’re leaving now.”

Sun Qizheng packed away the puppet. Su Yuanyuan went next door and handed Chen Xiaorui over to Sun Qizheng.

“We’ll head to investigate the Miao Family right now.”

Tan Shaoting and the two others left. Su Yuanyuan packed up the Array Plate, and the trio headed to the Miao Family overnight.

The Miao Family was in Zhulu City. There was still some distance from here. The trio arrived at the Miao Family in two hours.

The highest cultivation here was a Golden Core Fifth Layer cultivator.

Since they had stayed in the Demon Realm, they were very sensitive to demonic auras.

They sensed it at the Miao Family’s ancestral shrine.

Su Yuanyuan cast a Spiritual Power Shield over the shrine.

At this time, the trio had already revealed themselves.

The Miao Family’s ancestor, Golden Core Fifth Layer cultivator Miao Zairen, quickly appeared before them.

“I apologize for not welcoming you earlier, senior.”

“No need for formalities. Let Miao Renfeng come out.”

Miao Zairen was taken aback. “I don’t know what my grandson might have done wrong?”

Qi Hao flicked his hand, shrouding the entire Miao Family in a Sixth Rank Array Plate.

Soon, cultivators from the Miao Family gathered. Qi Hao looked at the female cultivator who resembled his mother by thirty percent.

Su Yuanyuan also noticed her, observing that she was a forty-year-old female cultivator at the Third Level of Foundation Establishment.

“Miao Renfeng, come out.”

Qi Xuan spoke.

A Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer cultivator stepped forward. “Senior, I am Miao Renfeng.”

Su Yuanyuan quickly read his memory; he truly believed it was an ancestral spirit wanting a sect’s female disciple. And Li Shaobai’s actions were disgraceful.

Being smitten by Miao Xixi, an agreement with a Nascent Soul involved reaching an arrangement with two Foundation Establishment cultivators to abduct someone.

How ridiculous. Was Li Shaobai a fool? Such childish excuses he believed?

Moreover, that Miao Xixi was the most problematic. Four Spirit Roots and now at Foundation Establishment Third Layer? That’s rather abnormal.

Su Yuanyuan quickly read Miao Xixi’s memory.

So, it was like this. It seemed she was a fortuitous person, but it depended on how she handled her future.

“Miao Renfeng, I want to know how you connect with this ‘ancestor’ of yours.”

Now, everyone in the Miao Family looked at Miao Renfeng.

“Reporting to the senior, the ancestor reached out to me, stating that if I could bring over Sect’s Chen Xiaorui, I’d achieve Nascent Soul.”

“Do you believe that?”

“He is my ancestor.”

“Ancestor?”

Su Yuanyuan performed a spell to separate the dark mist and conducted a Soul Search. Its ability to tempt Miao Family members showed it wasn’t a low-level demon.

The Miao Family was frightened, knowing it was a demon after all.

Su Yuanyuan had realized it wasn’t one from the Demon Realm but had always been lurking in Bai Ai.

Finding this one demon indicated there probably weren’t just this one.

Su Yuanyuan produced a special bottle, capturing the dark mist inside.

The trio bypassed the Miao Family and extended their Divine Sense without finding a second one.

Qi Hao retrieved the Array Plate, “Take care; there’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world.”

Since the Miao Family truly didn’t know, the trio left without troubling the Miao Family.

“Send a message to the Sect Master. Should we stay in Bai Ai Realm for a while? It can’t be just this one lurking,” Su Yuanyuan frowned, pondering if the demon could possibly find joy with Demon Mother. How else would it know about Chen Xiaorui?
