Chapter 169 The Nine Nether Pearls Appear
"Sister, please stop making fun of me!"
Luo Sifan wasn't happy and complained.
Bai Lan gave him a deep look, looked around, sighed softly a few times, and stretched out her jade hand, gently moving it in the air.
She beckoned out a few wisps of white, gauze-like material, which she then lightly twirled around her fingertips.
"Sister, what is this?"
Luo Sifan felt a sudden urge and asked Bai Lan about it.
Bai Lan rolled her eyes, glanced at Luo Sifan, and suddenly giggled:
"My dear brother, don't you recognize me? Isn't this the remnant soul of the infatuated woman who gave you the celestial treasure?"
The silk threads on Bai Lan's fingers grew more and more numerous, seemingly inexhaustible even when drawn from the void.
Upon hearing this, Luo Sifan's heart skipped a beat. He stared intently at the clump of white fluff, half-believing and half-doubting, almost mesmerized.
"What? Would I, as your older sister, lie to you?"
Bai Lan coldly mocked Luo Sifan, took out a reddish-white, semi-transparent bead from her bosom, and slowly brought it close to the white fluff on her fingertips.
"What are you doing?!"
Luo Sifan frowned and asked Bai Lan, his expression already displeased.
Bai Lan sneered coldly, raising her eyes to stare meaningfully at Luo Sifan:
"You claim to be from the Immortal Realm, yet you don't recognize this treasure? It's the Nine Nether Pearl! Formed from the inner core of the Prison Dragon, it can gather even the most fragmented divine souls within a hundred miles. Its wonder lies in its ability to gather spirits to fulfill vows and nourish the soul!"
Even with his two lifetimes of cultivation, Luo Sifan had never heard of such a thing.
My immediate instinct was to ask Bai Lan a question:
"Is this thing truly effective? Perhaps it's just a legendary item; things said to be real are not necessarily true."
Bai Lan smiled mysteriously:
"Hehe, little brother, you don't know this, but it was just a coincidence that I used this bead to refine a person's fragmented soul. I restored him and tore him to pieces. It was quite satisfying!"
Luo Sifan was startled by Bai Lan's cold tone, and wondered which sin he had committed in his past life to provoke this wicked woman from the lower realm, who was even dying a miserable death.
Bai Lanyu lightly flicked the Nine Nether Pearl with her jade-like fingers, a flash of murderous intent disappearing in an instant, as if she were eyeing a rare commodity, and provocatively said to Luo Sifan:
"Brother, would you like to gather the souls of your soulmates and reunite them in the next life? Although we may not be able to be together immediately and have sex, it is not difficult to chat and share our innermost thoughts on a regular basis."
Luo Sifan blushed and stammered:
"Sister, don't talk nonsense. How could I, Luo Sifan, be such a person with such low tastes? But as for the Nine Nether Pearl, I really do want it!"
Whether it was true or false, Luo Sifan's heart was pounding, and he was already eager to try.
Bai Lan's eyes flashed as she fixed her gaze on Luo Sifan:
“Even between siblings, accounts should be kept clear! This Nine Nether Pearl of yours was hard-won, and compared to your celestial treasure, it can only be said that each has its own strengths. I can’t just give it to you for nothing.”
Luo Sifan didn't expect Bai Lan to be so stingy, showing no regard for elder sister or younger brother whatsoever.
He said, feeling depressed:
“I have nothing of value on me, sister. Please tell me what you need.”
He did have some valuables, such as sword fruit, scrolls, and a single branch of crimson pearl grass, as well as many other miscellaneous items. However, he wasn't honest enough to confess everything to Bai Lan.
Bai Lan smiled wryly, not paying any attention to Luo Sifan's inaccurate statements.
"Sister, I am somewhat interested in your magical treasure. If you, little brother, are willing to ask for it, I am not unwilling to grant your wish. We can exchange this treasure for it!"
In the blink of an eye, more and more white fluff gathered at Bai Lan's fingertips, swirling around the Nine Nether Pearl and emitting wisps of white light.
Luo Sifan's mind was greatly moved, and he stopped haggling with Bai Lan.
"This matter is fairly fair, but I need to confirm that this bead is indeed effective and can completely restore my Bai Lishuang!"
Luo Sifan said firmly that he had no lingering feelings for Lianbao.
Although the Lotus Treasure is a relic of the Immortal Realm, its immortal power is enough to help him contend with an old monster in the Mahayana Realm. However, a complete Bai Lishuang, even if it is just her soul, is extremely important to him, far more so than this.
"You, on the other hand..."
Bai Lan was taken aback by his unhesitating and straightforward manner. A bitter expression appeared on her face, and she sighed softly before a smile appeared on her face:
“It’s a small matter, what’s so difficult about it? Release this object’s domain, and I can collect those scattered soul fragments into this pearl in an instant.”
Without hesitation, Luo Sifan controlled Lianbao as instructed, opening a boundary to Bai Lan Da without any further obstruction.
With a smile, Bai Lan waved her finger lightly, and the Nine Nether Pearl flashed with white light before disappearing into the Lotus Treasure Realm.
As the master of the Lotus Treasure, Luo Sifan was able to roughly grasp the trajectory of the Nine Nether Pearl. This object traversed high and low, and it was indeed conducting a search based on Bai Lan's words.
Luo Sifan was filled with anticipation, his heart pounding with anxiety. A short breath felt like an eternity, fearing that something unexpected might happen.
As expected, after a short while, the Nine Nether Pearl trembled several times and almost stopped. Bai Lan let out a soft "Eh," and her face showed a strange expression.
"What happened?"
Luo Sifan felt anxious and asked Bai Lan.
"There are some obstacles. Even with the core of your immortal treasure having seized the last fragments of soul, the Nine Nether Pearl will have difficulty absorbing them!"
Bai Lan frowned as she looked at Luo Sifan, as if she were questioning him.
That's it!
Luo Sifan slapped his forehead and briefly explained the matter of the magic array in the inner chamber of the Lotus Treasure and the Jade Lotus Heart.
"Celestial Charm? Shattered Soul? I never imagined this lovestruck woman was actually a fellow immortal! She's chased her man all the way down to the mortal realm!"
Bai Lan clicked her tongue and sighed softly; it was hard to tell whether her tone was one of disdain or admiration.
What should I do?
Luo Sifan hesitated, reluctant to destroy the Jade Lotus Heart.
Bai Lan glanced at him, a hint of mockery in her eyes:
“My dear brother, I have certainly learned a thing or two about your chivalry. Don’t worry, I don’t have the ability to destroy her in one fell swoop. Unless you cooperate and lure her out of the magic array, separating her from that celestial aura.”
Luo Sifan couldn't bring himself to lure and kill Yu Lianxin, since although Yu Lianxin lacked intelligence, she was still like a mischievous girl to him, already an independent person.
"Sister! What should we do? If Yu Lishuang's soul is incomplete, will she suffer from hidden illnesses in the future?"
Luo Sifan was caught in a dilemma and asked Bai Lan for advice.
Bai Lan didn't care at all. She raised her hand and put away the Nine Nether Pearl, which spun around in her palm.
Gazing intently at the gathering of divine soul within the Nine Nether Pearl, Bai Lan spoke softly:
"The matter of the soul begins with the smallest and grows into the whole. Sometimes, even a seed can sprout from emotion and be fully nourished. This woman's love for you, her brother, is so deep that it borders on resentment. Even if she only had a trace of your soul left, after being fully nurtured by the Nine Nether Pearl, she would still be Bai Li Shuang, relentlessly pursuing you and deeply in love with you!"
Bai Lan's tone was sarcastic, leaving one unsure whether it was praise or criticism.
Luo Sifan's brows were still furrowed:
"Sister, what if Yu Lianxin's memories happen to be some of Yu Lishuang's important memories? If some are missing, it will be difficult to make up for them, right?"
Bai Lan glared at Luo Sifan, annoyed by his nagging.
"What's missing? Why don't you tell her yourself? With her love-struck mind, she'll believe whatever you tell her!"
Luo Sifan nodded in realization and made two "oh" sounds.
Although things weren't perfect, he had no choice but to accept it and stop dwelling on it.
