Volume 5, Chapter 18 – Bai Chengwu’s Psychological Trauma

——”If you don’t confess honestly, I’ll eat you all up~”——

The blue-haired girl spoke these rather chilling words in such a charming tone.

Upon hearing this, all three Bai family members, including Bai Chengwu, felt their bodies tremble in unison, chills running down their spines.

Intuition told them that this girl who was gnawing on their weapons really might do exactly that…

This person was not human!

——”A monster in human form?”——

This speculation arose unanimously in all three minds.

The next instant, Bai Xuan and another companion directly unleashed their spiritual power! One from the left, one from the right, they attacked the blue-haired girl in a pincer formation! Since they knew the opponent had malicious intent, they naturally chose to strike first.

“Heaven Peak Seal!”

“Earth Soul Seal!”

The two concentrated spiritual power in their palms and continued forming hand seals. They were clearly planning to use the Bai family’s secret sealing arts to instantly suppress this inhuman existence before them.

However, just as they were about to complete their seals, two slender little hands quietly reached out~

Directly grasping the index fingers of both men…

Then, with a sudden snap~

In an instant, not only was the sealing process interrupted and their spiritual power scattered, but piercing pain directly assaulted their brains, causing both men’s faces to instantly contort and become incredibly ferocious.

But before the two could let out agonized roars, the blue-haired girl continued with a slight exertion of force, directly using the broken fingers to yank the two men close together.

“Boom~”

Accompanied by a crisp sound, their heads crashed together hard~

The two Bai family experts thus collapsed to the ground seeing stars.

At the same time, the ground began to distort, and countless eerie black liquid seeped out, transforming into terrifying black thorns. The thorns wrapped around Bai Xuan and his companion, slowly dragging them into the twisted ground.

Faced with this scene and feeling the terrifying pressure in the air, Bai Chengwu couldn’t help but swallow hard.

While being amazed by the opponent’s powerful strength, Bai Chengwu recalled the blue-haired girl’s movements just now.

At this moment, his eyes couldn’t help but flash with deep confusion.

Bai Xuan and the other man had clearly been attempting to use dual seals to suppress the woman before them.

The Heaven Peak Seal and Earth Soul Seal were among the Bai family’s ultimate techniques, using yin-yang power to suppress enemies—even cross-tier suppression was possible.

The dual seals were powerful, which naturally made them difficult to master.

To learn this skill, one not only needed a powerful spiritual power foundation but also superior spiritual power control and memory, plus mastery of complex hand seals. And this sealing process was still only known to those within the Bai family.

However?

Just now, this woman had clearly extended her hands in advance! Waiting for Bai Xuan and the others to extend their fingers!

She obviously knew the sealing process!

Moreover, this woman… the scene just now where she grabbed the two men and made them crash heads… why did it seem so familiar?

Speaking of which, he and his elder brother had also been bullied like this by that bastard back in the day.

Bah bah bah!

Now wasn’t the time to think about such things!

Taking a deep breath, while assuming a defensive posture and continuously mobilizing his spiritual power, Bai Chengwu glared viciously at the blue-haired girl and issued a serious and uneasy interrogation.

“Who exactly are you? Who taught you to break the Earth Soul Seal and Heaven Peak Seal?!”

As his words left his mouth, the spiritual power aura of the fourth tier began to gradually envelop Bai Chengwu.

Faced with Bai Chengwu’s interrogation, the blue-haired girl tilted her head in puzzlement.

“Breaking those two lousy seals still needs teaching… they’re just a dozen or so hand seal movements. What’s difficult about breaking them?”

“Just… just a few movements??”

“Yeah, what’s with the big fuss? It’s not like I haven’t broken them before.”

“Be… before?”

Repeating this word, Bai Chengwu’s expression became increasingly grave and confused.

On the other side, after taking in Bai Chengwu’s appearance, the blue-haired girl twisted her neck somewhat disappointedly.

“What? You still haven’t recognized who I am?”

“You? Who… who are you?”

“Sigh…”

After sighing, the blue-haired girl’s figure suddenly distorted.

“Huh?!!”

The next instant, under Bai Chengwu’s terrified gaze, the blue-haired girl flashed before Bai Chengwu like a ghost and suddenly thrust two fingers toward his eyes! The speed was so fast that Bai Chengwu had no time to react, frightening this Bai family expert into directly closing his eyes.

!!!

After a brief silence, Bai Chengwu tremblingly opened his eyes.

Then, two slender fingers close at hand entered Bai Chengwu’s vision, directly causing drops of cold sweat to flow down from his forehead.

——”Keep causing trouble, and see if I don’t gouge out your eyes.”——

The blue-haired girl said indifferently, slowly withdrawing her hand.

How pleasant and beautiful the girl’s voice was.

In this instant, it directly triggered some unbearable memories deep in Bai Chengwu’s heart.

The man over forty couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air.

“Bai… Bai Lianyue…”

…

Regarding his sister who had betrayed the family and abandoned everything, Bai Chengwu was indeed quite disgusted.

But the person he hated most in this lifetime wasn’t his second sister Bai Nuoyu, but that man called ‘Bai Lianyue.’

Bai Lianyue was just an orphan wandering outside, without father or mother.

If not for Father’s great mercy in bringing him to the Bai family, he probably would have long since died plainly in the wilderness, perishing in that war-torn land.

His status was just that lowly.

Clearly having such lowly status, he should have been grateful to their Bai family just for being allowed to live… yet this guy had constantly opposed him, who was the Bai family’s third young master, since childhood.

Therefore, Bai Chengwu had disliked Bai Lianyue since he was small.

Moreover, Bai Chengwu was quite jealous of him. That his sister’s talent was better than his own, Bai Chengwu could accept… but Bai Lianyue? This orphan who had been picked up actually had ridiculously high martial arts talent?

A set of swordsmanship that Grandfather taught—he needed a week to learn it, even Sister Nuoyu needed two days, but that bastard Bai Lianyue?

Rеаⅾ on КаtRеαԁinɡСαfе

He learned it just by watching once?

If not for Bai Lianyue himself having no spiritual power and being unable to cultivate… that guy probably would have long since become an unstoppable monster.

Therefore, Bai Chengwu had also been jealous of Bai Lianyue since childhood.

While feeling disgust and jealousy… Bai Chengwu was also quite afraid of Bai Lianyue…

Because of Bai Lianyue’s background, his enviable talent, and his overly intimate relationship with his sister, Bai Chengwu and his elder brother Bai Bin, along with many Bai family juniors, had given Bai Lianyue plenty of trouble back then.

They all wanted to severely educate Bai Lianyue, to make him understand his position and stop constantly relying on his companion status to play with Sister Nuoyu.

Of course, after these Bai family juniors lost face in class, they also instinctively wanted to regain it outside of class.

Beat Bai Lianyue until he cried for his parents!

However, ideals were perfect, but reality was cruel.

Every time they tried to regain face, they failed.

Indeed, Bai Lianyue had no spiritual power and couldn’t cultivate… but for some unknown reason, this guy’s combat ability was ridiculously strong. Every time they caused trouble, it ended with them being beaten to a pulp, their faces bruised and swollen.

It could be said that the current generation in power in the Bai family had all been beaten up by Bai Lianyue back then.

And back then, the method Bai Lianyue most commonly used to warn them… was to aim two fingers at their eyes.

Precisely because of this, after seeing that familiar gesture and hearing those familiar words, Bai Chengwu’s mind immediately recalled that figure.

The next moment, his spiritual power scattered, and the incredulous Bai Chengwu sat down on the ground in complete disarray, tremblingly raising his hand to point at the blue-haired girl before him.

“You?! You! You! You’re supposed to be dead?!! Are you human or ghost?!”
