Chapter 203: Cold on the Outside, Frozen Inside
"The goods are there, but what will you trade for them?" the figure lowered their voice.
Shi Nian patted her chest: "I'll trade a true heart!"
The figure: "..."
Lin Bai looked at Shi Nian speechlessly and tossed over a Storage Bag.
Shi Nian hurriedly started checking it.
Lin Bai said, "I've gathered all the Thunder Attribute Magic Treasures and Talismans that I could. But high-level materials for Thunder Attribute are really scarce, so these Magic Treasures and Talismans aren't of very high level."
Shi Nian was quite satisfied.
Even though none of them were of high level.
But she can't help feeling reassured by their quantity. Just seeing all these densely packed Talismans gives her a great sense of security!
"Goods received, goods received," said Shi Nian. "The coast is clear. Let's scram."
With that, she was about to slip away.
Lin Bai grabbed her collar in one motion.
Shi Nian turned her head to look at him, her face full of wariness: "Sword Immortal, don't tell me you want to take back what's already in my hands?"
Lin Bai slightly tugged the corner of his mouth, taking out a small sword only about the length of two thumbs.
Lin Bai spoke softly, "Take this sword with you too."
Shi Nian took the sword with some curiosity, looked at it for a moment, and asked, "Lin Bai Sword Immortal, this sword... doesn't seem to have the Thunder Attribute, does it?"
Lin Bai said indifferently, "The attribute doesn't matter, as long as it is useful. Don't worry about it and just keep it on you."
This sword...
Shi Nian looked at Lin Bai, then at the small sword, her expression subtly changing.
She had a vague feeling that the sword and Lin Bai's aura were of the same origin.
"Remember, keep it on you," Lin Bai didn't give Shi Nian a chance to speak more, and after a brief instruction, he instantly vanished from the spot.
Shi Nian held the small sword, lost in thought.
She had a rough guess, but wasn't quite sure.
If her guess was right, does that mean Lin Bai Sword Immortal is totally fearless of death?
Shi Nian stored the small sword with a somewhat solemn air, then let the bald creature out.
Lately in the Demon World, the bald creature had been staying inside the Beast Taming Bag.
Fortunately, it was inherently a homebody; if Shi Nian didn't call for it, it would be content to stay inside the Storage Bag forever.
There was nothing to do inside the Storage Bag, so during this period, the bald creature did nothing but cultivate.
Half a month ago, a second feather grew on its head.
And the first feather had grown a few centimeters longer than it originally was.
Originally, the function of the first feather was to teleport randomly within a thousand miles, but had to cool down for three days after use.
After it grew, the effect became the ability to teleport to a specific location within a thousand miles, with a cooldown only after three uses.
Shi Nian was able to meet with Lin Bai without anyone knowing because of this skill evolution of the bald creature.
"Master, shall we teleport back?" The bald creature yawned, "Then hurry up, I'm still young and need to go back to sleep."
Shi Nian flicked the feather of the bald creature: "Teleport."
In less than the time it takes half an incense stick to burn, Shi Nian had sneakily brought back the supplies undetected.
"Master, if there's nothing else, I'm going to sleep," said the bald creature, already wanting to burrow back into the Storage Bag.
"Wait a moment," Shi Nian grabbed the bald creature's wing.
The bald creature looked at Shi Nian somewhat puzzled.
Shi Nian said with emotion, "I just feel that you're already a chicken with two feathers, and it doesn't seem quite right to still call you 'baldy,' does it?"
Upon hearing this, the bald creature immediately woke up, looking at Shi Nian with some excitement: "Shall we change the name, then?"
Shi Nian nodded solemnly, "I think you'll eventually grow a third feather. How about we change your name in advance to 'Three Feathers,' what do you think?"
Bald creature: "..."
Is 'baldy' or 'Three Feathers' the less appealing name?
It suddenly couldn't tell.
"Still don't like it?" Shi Nian was a bit troubled: "You're a boy, how about the name Zi Xuan? Zi An? Zihao?"
Baldy: "..."
How did it turn into something so bizarre???
Shi Nian spread her hands: "Forget it, you pick one yourself."
That was about as good as her naming skills got.
Baldy's eyes lit up: "Master, not to hide it from you, I have a name deep in my heart that I have long cherished."
"Say it." Shi Nian eagerly encouraged.
"How about the name Shi the Bright and Martial with a Cool Exterior and an Icy Heart, the Proud Little Prince, the Invincible Overlord Chicken?" Baldy looked at Shi Nian with expectancy: "Master, I even took your surname, aren't you touched?"
Shi Nian: "...I think the name 'Baldy' is quite good."
Baldy was a bit disappointed, but it had gotten used to this name somewhat, so could only reluctantly accept it.
Shi Nian immediately shifted away from the topic of names: "Baldy, I just want to ask, what exactly does your second feather represent in terms of Skill?"
"Oh, that." Baldy casually plucked out its second feather: "The function of my sister's second feather is healing, mine is similar. It's for purification. If there's enough energy, it can purify all impurities in the Human World."
Shi Nian stroked her chin, this Skill sounded quite good.
She couldn't help asking: "Oh? Can you purify the Demonic Qi in the Demon Pool?"
"Goodbye!" Baldy decisively dove into the Beast Taming Bag.
Shi Nian once again dragged it out: "Can't you be a bit more confident? Hm?"
Baldy with a bitter face: "Master, it's not that I lack confidence. It's just that, after conversion, I only have the power of the Golden Core Stage. My feather can indeed purify Demonic Qi, but it also depends on having comparable power. To purify the Magic Power of the Demon Pool, I need to be infinitely close to the peak power level of the Human Clan."
Shi Nian nodded her head, hearing the important part: "So there is hope."
Her gaze at Baldy changed.
The Demon Pool has troubled the Human Clan for a long while.
And now, Baldy's second Skill can actually purify Demonic Qi.
If Baldy becomes strong enough...
Isn't there indeed hope to destroy the Demon Pool?
"Theoretically, there is hope, but I must remind you, it's very faint," said Baldy.
Oh, mama, it really didn't want to go face to face with the Demon Pool.
It still wanted to live a few more years!
Shi Nian apparently didn't catch the words "very faint hope," her face just revealing a smile that terrified Baldy.
Its master, she's not seriously considering making it face the Demon Pool, is she!!!
"Go back to the Beast Taming Bag and rest for now." Shi Nian waved her hand: "Hurry up with your Cultivation, the future destruction of the Demon Pool is all on you!"
Baldy instantly felt darkness before its eyes.
Didn't it choose this master precisely to avoid living in constant fear and hardship?
What's going on now!
Master, what about living cautiously? Have you forgotten your ways of living cautiously?
Baldy, tears in its eyes, wanted to say something but was already thrown into the Beast Taming Bag by Shi Nian.
Originally, it was extremely sleepy.
Now, good grief, it was so alert that it couldn't sleep.
Wuu wuu wuu.
That's the Demon Pool that nourished an entire Demon Clan!
Expecting it to purify the Demon Pool?
Has the master gone mad, or has it gone mad!
While Baldy was sobbing with a small handkerchief, Shi Nian had already taken the small sword given by Lin Bai and went to look for Lu Zhuoyan.
She always felt that the little junior uncle seemed to be capable of anything, maybe he knew what was the deal with this small sword.
