Chapter 159 Dual Blades, Icy Brilliance in the Martial World (28)

“If there are two flowers, and if I can bring them back from Narrow Heaven, I will definitely give one to Young Master Qi,” Bai Tang perfunctorily said.

If she gives, it must be two flowers, no less.

Qi Jiayan received Bai Tang’s assurance and smiled, saying, “Thank you for your trouble, Young Lady Bai. I’ll surely reward you with generous gifts in the future.”

As for whether this gift was what Bai Tang desired, that remained uncertain.

Qi Jiayan also presented Bai Tang with a series of tools, including iron claws designed for flower picking.

Qi Jiayan’s departure didn’t have any impact on them. As they approached Narrow Heaven, the sandstorms became more severe. Within a hundred meters, it was challenging to see anything clearly.

Looking down at Narrow Heaven, Bai Tang saw a dark expanse beneath the two cracks. Sunlight couldn’t penetrate, but a lush forest thrived inside. The forest looked dim from the cliff, as it was so deep that most of it remained unseen, shrouded in mist.

Such an environment was indeed an excellent place to kill people and seize treasures, wasn’t it?

Weng Quan held Bai Tang back. “Female Hero Bai, let me take a look first. It seems too dangerous here.”

Tantai Ziheng coldly snorted. “If you seek death, I won’t stop you. But if you drag Yaoyao into it, I won’t let you off easily.”

Bai Tang ignored Tantai Ziheng and turned to Weng Quan. “Young Hero Weng, there’s no need for you to go down. This matter is mine alone. Later, a large group of people may come, perhaps from the Blood Devil Cult. Young Hero Weng, I’ll have to trouble you to intercept some of them.”

This was such a perfect opportunity for someone to kill her, Bai Tang couldn’t believe Qi Jiayan would let it pass.

Weng Quan frowned, “If that’s the case, Female Hero Bai, why don’t we avoid it?”

Bai Tang’s eyes flashed with eagerness. “Avoid it? No need. As long as I go to pick this Lifeless Flower, avoiding them is impossible.”

Tantai Ziheng drew his sword to block her. “I won’t allow you to pick it. I won’t allow anything untoward to happen to Yaoyao’s body.”

Bai Tang, “…”

What were you doing earlier? Forbidding her right before the crucial moment? Dream on.

Yaoyao anxiously pleaded, “Young Lady Bai, let me come out. I’ll talk to Ziheng.”

Bai Tang refused, “Last time, you exceeded the time limit, causing a lot of my efforts to be wasted. No.”

Bai Tang said that when she mentioned a quarter of an hour, it really was a quarter of an hour. Not a minute or a second more was allowed.

Weng Quan also looked at Tantai Ziheng inexplicably, wondering what he was thinking.

Bai Tang smiled mysteriously, “If you want to stop me, then it’s up to your abilities.”

With an eerie rhythm, Bai Tang stepped forward, forcefully pinching the acupuncture points on Tantai Ziheng’s wrist. His wrist went numb, losing strength, and Bai Tang seized the opportunity to take the sword from his hand. With a swift wave, she aimed the sword at Tantai Ziheng’s knee. With this move, Tantai Ziheng almost knelt.

Bai Tang tossed the sword near Tantai Ziheng’s feet and quickly retreated. She didn’t forget to instruct, “Young Hero Weng, please pay attention to your safety.”

Weng Quan watched with raised eyebrows. Bai Tang was jumping off the cliff? Looking from the edge of the cliff, Bai Tang was facing upward with hands outstretched, her azure dress billowing in the cliff’s wind. She looked like a flower gracefully falling with the wind, wearing a flamboyant smile.

It was truly terrifying! Those that didn’t know would thought she intended to commit suicide!

Weng Quan saw an iron claw shoot out from Bai Tang’s sleeve, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He had never seen someone take such risks. Picking a flower while simultaneously jumping off a cliff.

Tantai Ziheng hurried over, frowning. When he saw Bai Tang’s actions, his heart contracted. “Why did you treat Yaoyao’s body like this? Why did you!”

She couldn’t hear Tantai Ziheng’s accusations, but she could sense the weightlessness, the inability to see anything, and the whistling wind around her.

Still, she didn’t forget to ask Yaoyao, “Young Lady Yaoyao, how does it feel? Exciting, isn’t it?”

Yaoyao, “…”

What could she say? She was almost scared to death.

What Bai Tang could feel, she could also feel.

The sensation of weightlessness, unable to see anything, with the only sound being the whistling wind in her ears.
