Chapter 733: I Will Treat Them Like My Own Flesh and Blood
"Master!" Shandu and the others called out, trying to rise and move forward to enter the secret realm together.
However, they had barely taken a few steps before the evil aura emanating from the Vajra Umbrella knocked them back to the ground.
Even Chu Yang couldn’t make any headway.
Only Nanli remained standing, unaffected.
Her clothes fluttered in the wind, and she stood there as though unbothered, freely moving in and out of the evil aura.
From the whirlpool entrance, the master of the secret realm seemed surprised and spoke: "Who exactly are you? Why is it that I cannot pull you into the secret realm?"
Nanli furrowed her brows, replying calmly, "I don’t know."
The master of the secret realm laughed. "Very well, a monk alone is enough to entertain me."
The whirlpool entrance began to close.
"Wait." Nanli stepped forward.
The evil aura condensed into a delicate face, the eyes narrowed. "What? Are you planning to sacrifice yourself to save others?"
Now, the secret realm was filled with demonic energy!
If cultivators were pulled in, even if they survived, their cultivation and Dao hearts would surely be affected.
Nanli didn’t respond, her actions proving her intent.
Just as she was about to enter the secret realm, a shout came from behind: "Nanli, Daoist friend!"
Someone was rushing toward her, grabbing her hand.
Nanli turned around and saw Bai Xiangyu. She was stunned. "What are you doing? Let go of me!"
Why was he back here?
Bai Xiangyu urgently said, "There’s nothing but demonic energy inside, you can’t go in!"
But it was too late.
Nanli had already made up her mind to enter and save others, and the master of the secret realm could pull her in. Bai Xiangyu, holding onto her hand, was also dragged inside.
"Sixth sister!" Chu Yang didn’t expect this outcome.
But the Vajra Umbrella closed immediately, and no more evil aura leaked out.
It all happened in an instant.
Everyone stared at the Vajra Umbrella that had fallen to the ground.
"Master..." Shandu was deeply worried. He picked up the Vajra Umbrella, trying to open it.
But no matter what method he tried, the umbrella couldn’t be opened.
Chu Yang didn’t understand these things well.
Qiao Dabao said, "Shandu, I know you’re worried, but once the secret realm opens, Zen Master Cinian and the others will have to rely on themselves to get out."
No one else could help.
Chu Yang’s heart tightened. "Is there a time limit? Or if we can’t break the secret realm, will they never come out?"
Qiao Dabao explained, "It’s hard to say, each secret realm is different."
Everyone’s faces darkened.
The demonic energy from the Vajra Umbrella had been so strong that they could hardly withstand it outside, let alone the ones who had been pulled in.
It didn’t look good.
"Chu Yang, your sixth sister..." Zhou Zida didn’t know how to comfort him.
Chu Yang’s face returned to normal, no longer worried.
Instead, he comforted Shandu, "Don’t worry, my sixth sister will definitely bring your master back."
Shandu forced a smile.
Zhou Zida rolled his eyes. "Chu Yang, get this straight, Zen Master Cinian’s Buddhist teachings are boundless, and she usually only takes care of herself. Now she’s got two extra burdens, she should be crying instead!"
Chu Yang snorted, "Don’t underestimate my sixth sister."
Qiao Dabao, however, was worried about something else. "Why is Young Master Bai here? He’s gone into the secret realm too. If he can’t get out, how will we explain this to the Bai family?"
Wouldn’t the Bai family make trouble later?
That was what really concerned Qiao Dabao.
Everyone else was puzzled, but to understand why, they would need to ask Bai Xiangyu himself.
Inside the secret realm,
Nanli and Bai Xiangyu were pulled in, and the demonic energy greeted them face to face.
The two of them were tossed about, spinning in the air.
Bai Xiangyu let go of her hand, shouting her name.
Nanli finally stabilized her position and pulled out the Heaven Star Brush from her Qiankun Bag. She drew several Exorcism Talismans.
With a gesture, she activated the talismans, forming a protective formation.
The demonic energy was pushed back.
Nanli landed steadily on the ground, her movements clean and graceful.
But Bai Xiangyu couldn’t endure the demonic energy, his spiritual power was drained, and he collapsed to the ground.
Nanli glanced at him. "Are you okay?"
Bai Xiangyu, hearing her voice, hurriedly got up, his face flushed with embarrassment. "I... I’m fine."
But the demonic energy was already wrapped around him, affecting his meridians and Dantian.
Nanli moved closer.
Bai Xiangyu’s heart raced when he saw her delicate and stunning face drawing closer. His heartbeat nearly exceeded its limit, and he felt a great discomfort, quickly closing his eyes.
Instead of doing anything else, Nanli placed her finger on his forehead.
Instantly, Bai Xiangyu felt the weight lift, and he could freely use his spiritual power again.
"It’s done." Nanli retracted her hand. "This Exorcism Talismans will last a day, protecting you from the demonic energy. But you owe me a thousand mid-grade spirit stones."
Bai Xiangyu snapped out of his daze, hurriedly opening his eyes. "I... I have plenty of spirit stones!"
Nanli said, "I only take what’s due to me, I don’t want more."
Bai Peng was hot-tempered, and Nanli wouldn’t dare to swindle the Bai family’s spirit stones.
Moreover, whether in the Human World or Immortal World, she always conducted business with integrity, ensuring long-term trust.
Bai Xiangyu shook his head, his gaze intense.
Nanli frowned. "What? Do you think it’s too much? Want to negotiate?"
Bai Xiangyu pressed his lips tightly together, not knowing how to respond.
In this isolated place, Nanli didn’t care much and decided to sell herself out. She spoke with a pitiful tone, "The father of my unborn children is injured and can’t care for us. I have to feed both the elder and the younger, and there are three to feed... this price is already very reasonable, Young Master Bai, please understand."
Bai Xiangyu blinked, but then said, "I can take care all of you!"
Nanli was stunned.
Bai Xiangyu swallowed, took off his Qiankun Bag from his waist, and handed it to Nanli. Looking down, he said hurriedly, "I’ve thought it through. I don’t mind you being pregnant! I accept your children and will treat them like my own flesh and blood! After they’re born, I’ll raise them as my own!"
"???" Nanli twitched her mouth.
Bai Xiangyu saw her silent for a long time and finally mustered the courage to look at her.
Her face was one of utter disbelief.
Bai Xiangyu added, "You... you don’t think these spirit stones are enough? Don’t worry about that. When my father dies and I inherit the family head position, I’ll give you as many spirit stones as you want!"
Nanli sighed, "Although I really need spirit stones right now, I still can’t agree to this."
So this was what Bai Xiangyu had come here for.
"Why not?" Bai Xiangyu became more urgent. "I’ve asked around about your husband. Since the Immortal Gate was breached, he’s disappeared, so he must have found somewhere better to be and abandoned you and the children!"
