"Hmmmm, not bad, not bad!"

"An 8th level Qi Condensation stage kid managed to kill a Mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. That Saber Qi even had a hint of intent and that martial technique was quite interesting, definitely not a low level. His comprehension must be quite good."

Jiang Fu stood in the skies above, murmuring to himself while watching the running Jiang Chen. He was giddily stroking his thin moustache, using his thumb and index finger.

"A genius worthy of joining my True Origin Sect. The only problem is his talent seems a bit low..." As Jiang Fu spoke his eyes glowed with a multitude of colors, his gaze trained on Jiang Chen.

After a moment Jiang Fu's eyes widened in surprise.

"Low-grade Mortal Tier Spirit Root of the 5 elements! How unexpected! With such a trash spirit root he made it this far on the road of cultivation. Judging from how robust his cultivation base is, he must has a cultivation manual that perfectly matches his spirit root."

"How mysterious! Even in the sect there are no more than two of such manuals, let alone here in the Mortal Continent."

"Hehehe, I like him! We even share the same surname. It must be fate willing you to join my sect!"

Jiang Fu spoke with a wide smile on his face. His body was shaking in excitement.

"I'll follow you for a while longer first. Lets see what other surprises you can show me!"

A maniacal aura appeared around Jiang Fu due to his excitement.

At this moment the running Jiang Chen looked startled and stopped. His gaze traveling all over his surroundings, his face grave.

"Oh did he mange to sense me? This is getting more and more interesting!"

Jiang Fu once again hid his aura and disappeared, stealthily following behind the wary Jiang Chen.

....

Time quickly passed.

Soon it had been a year since Bai Jing and her Father left for training.

Within the Bai Clan's Teleportation Hall, in an underground room. A teleportation array lit up with light.

Once the blinding light receded, two figures appeared within the formation, walking out and making their way through the Bai Clan.

Walking out of the teleportation hall, the two figures caught the attention of many surrounding Bai clansmen.

"Oh it's Senior Kong and Miss Jing! They have returned!"

"Wow Miss Jing is even more beautiful than before."

"I wish I could be as beautiful as senior sister Jing!"

"Keep dreaming! Even if you ate pinnacle grade beauty pills daily, you still couldn't hold a candle to Sister Jing!"

"Wow Miss Jing looks even taller now! Maybe I should cultivate a body manual? How can I be worthy of Miss Jing if I'm shorter than her!"

"Dream on, in the clan only I am worthy of Sister Jing!"

Maybe curious about the commotion, a small snake peaked its head out from Bai Jing's messy hair, scattered over her shoulders, looking curiously at the surrounding clansman.

The snake was quite small, only around the length of two palms. Its body rest atop Bai Jing's ear as its tail continued downward, wrapping around her earing.

The snake was quite beautiful. It had a sleek, rounded, golden head with some specks of purple on its forehead. The scaley body of the snake was a mix of gold, dark-purple, and violet stripes.

The snake's eyes were a speckled purple, white, and black with pitch black vertical pupils. It had scales that were quite big for its body and looked sturdy.

"Oh look at that snake how beautiful!"

"Lucky snake!"

"Ah Miss Jing is finally back. I've been waiting for so long to see those beautiful legs and perfect feet! What I wouldn't give to be able to touch and be stomped on! Ahhhh~"

"Holy shit are you crazy man! You said that out loud!"

"Huh?"

At this moment Bai Kong sent a glance at the man who uttered something that shouldn't be said aloud.

The man froze and went limp from that gaze. He fell to the ground, face pale.

Bai Jing and her Father continued their way through the clan. Before long the appearance of a villa came into view.

A smile appeared on Bai Jing's indifferent face upon seeing her home.

This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

Bai Jing had not changed much yet her beauty had become even more prevalent and she appeared more mature.

Her height had increased even more, now she was only slightly shorter than Bai Kong. Her cheeks and figure had lost the last bit of pudginess they had before.

Her carefree, cold, and indifferent aura she previously possessed now had a hint of sharpness to it.

Bai Jing floated up and rushed towards her home, busting through the doors.

Upon entering the doors Bai Jing saw her mother there waiting for her. Without even having to use one of her secret techniques, Bai Jing's eyes became teary.

Bai Jing rushed at her mother, embracing her.

Bai Ting gave her daughter a tight hug back and spoke to her.

"There there, sweetie, what's wrong, what did your father do to you?"

"Father was so mean to me! Do you know where he brought me!" Bai Jing furiously spoke, beginning to air her grievances to her mother.

....

"Then do you know the worst part Mother? He dropped me in the middle of a nest of 5 Poison Ghoul Centipedes! He even suppressed the surrounding spirit energy and made me fight them at close range."

Tears were at the edge of Bai Jing's eyes as she spoke.

"He said I should get over my fear. But what's wrong with fear? Fear can make you stronger! He just wanted to bully me!"

"He threw me shoes to wear after he dropped me in and I knew what he was trying to do. So you know what I did Mother? I threw the shoes away and stomped them all to death with my bare feet! That showed him! You should have seen his face. Ha!"

Bai Jing shivered as she recalled the worst part of her training.

Suddenly there was a shout as Bai Chao came running towards Bai Jing.

"Sister you're back!"

Walking behind him were Pai An and Ying Ying, smiles on their faces.

Separating from her mother Bai Jing looked towards Bai Chao running over to hug her.

Bai Chao embraced Bai Jing and she ruffled his hair.

"Looks like you have gotten bigger little guy. You miss your beautiful and perfect big sister huh?"

"Mm-hmm! Mom won't take me flying fast, she always goes so slow, and she wont play some of the games you would play with me. So I've been playing with some of the other kids in the clan and little Hua, but it's not as fun as it was with you."

"Of course! Don't forget that your big sister treats you the best." Bai Jing stated.

Then separating from Bai Chao she picked him up by his robe. Turned around she could see Bai Kong just walking into the villa.

"Now go greet your mean father!"

As Bai Jing spoke she hurled her little brother towards their Father.

"Ahhhhhhhh! Fatherrrrrrr!!!!" Bai Chao screamed in excitement and fear as his blurry silhouette streaked through the air at a high speed.

Bai Kong simply looked at this with a sigh as his eye twitched out of habit.

Stretching out his hand Bai Chao came to a gentle stop before him.

As the father and son talked Bai Jing ran towards Ying Ying happily.

"Hello Aunty!" She spoke while passing by Pai An, who just smiled in response.

"Old Ying! I missed you the most! It was so hard without you! There was no one to massage me or give me a bath. The only thing keeping me going were the snacks you gave me that I had to ration out!"

Bai Jing stopped before Ying Ying and picked her up into a hug, lifting her feet of the ground and spinning her around. Embracing her tighter and tighter.

"Old Ying? P-princess too t-tight. L-let go!" Ying Ying squeezed out.

Bai Jing stopped and put Ying Ying down. Observing Ying Ying who was rubbing her chest, she noticed Ying Ying hadn't changed.

Noticing that Ying Ying had stabilized herself, she lightly jumped up and put her arm around the back of Ying Ying's neck shouting, "Catch me!"

Catching Bai Jing like a princess, Ying Ying let out a sigh.

"Now off to the bath! I'm exhausted and need a nice long time to relax." Bai Jing told Ying Ying while pointing out with her finger.

"...Verry well, let's go." Ying Ying responded after a moment with a roll of her eyes.

She then took Bai Jing who comfortably lay in her arms and chucked her onto her shoulder like a sack of potatoes.

"..."

Ying Ying began to make her way to Bai Jing's room, but before she made it a few steps Bai Jing lifted her drooping head and spoke.

"Wait! Uncle Fang are you there?"

As soon as she finished speaking Uncle Fang appeared before Bai Jing, though she could only see his lower body from the angle she was looking.

"What can I do for you Young Miss Jing?" Uncle Fang enquired.

"Please prepare a feast of all my favorite foods later." Bai Jing requested with a lick of her lips.

"No problem Miss Jing. I had already intended to do so." Uncle Fang responded with a smile.

"You're the best Uncle Fang." Bai Jing exclaimed then relaxed and went limp, putting her head back down.

"Now continue on Old Ying!" She commanded.

'Why is it Old Ying now?' Ying Ying wondered as she carried Bai Jing away.

Bai Jing's hair scattered, dragging along the floor, and a small snake peeked its head out from within as Ying Ying walked away.

....

*Splash!*

"Ahhhh~ That's the stuff!"

Bai Jing moaned in comfort as she entered the bath.

As Bai Jing got comfortable the small snake slowly lowered itself from Bai Jing's ear into the warm water.

It swam across the top of the water with a look of enjoyment on its little face.

"Eh! Princess what's this small snake. Did you catch a pet during your training?" Ying Ying discovered the snake as she began to wash Bai Jing's hair and enquired.

"Mmm, it hatched from the egg that appeared when I was born. Didn't you little Cutie?"

Bai Jing replied and called out to the snake.

The snake swam back towards Bai Jing and came to a rest, curled atop her voluptuous chest, it's head resting above the water. It's eyes soon closed in enjoyment.

"Amazing, that's a Connate Lifeform! It's already at the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment realm like me." Ying Ying exclaimed in amazement.

"What race is it?" Ying Ying asked in puzzlement, not recognizing it.

"I asked my father and even he wasn't sure. Since it's a Connate Lifeform it could be from ancient race or even a brand new one." Bai Jing replied.

"Wow!"

"Did you name it?" Asked Ying Ying.

"Of course, I already said it's name. Right Cutie?" Bai Jing said while looking at the snake on her bosom.

Cutie cracked it's closed eyes open at the mention of it's name and looked over at Ying Ying pitifully.

Ying Ying just stared back at the snake with a look of condolence and companionship.

"Is... it a girl snake?" Ying Ying asked after a moment of silence.

"Who knows? I can't tell. Maybe it doesn't have one." Bai Jing spoke nonchalantly.

"I see."

"Oh speaking of names. Why am I Old Ying now?" Asked Ying Ying.

"Oh that! I just decided on it once I saw you again. Two old friends since childhood meeting again after a long year of separation. I think it fits you. Plus you can also call me whatever you want, like Peerless Jing, Empress Jing, Young Miss, Young Master, Peerless Beauty Standing Above The 9 Heavens Bai Jing, etc..." Bai Jing Explained.

"But-" Ying Ying started but was interrupted.

"We will talk later, I'm too tired now. Give me a good massage so I can finally relax." Bai Jing said impatiently.

"Yes, Yes."

Bai Jing closed her eyes in comfort feeling Ying Ying's massage.

After a while of enjoying the massage Bai Jing lifted her hand and touched Ying Ying's hand massaging her shoulder.

When Ying Ying felt Bai Jing's touch, she noticed a large strand of extremely pure spirit energy entering herself, much purer than before.

Surprised, she hurriedly sat down cross legged and began cultivating.

Bai Jing smiled slightly at this and entered a light sleep along with her snake.
