Chapter 97 - The Essence (1/2)

The White Fairy stands in amazement and becomes angrier, “Junior, how dare you disrespect me!” She raises her hand and reaches to Lin Luoran. Her delicate hand turns into a black and ghostly claw.

This place is filled with pure Reiki, and Lin Luoran has regained her power after being here so long. Now, she actually can cast spells, but she chooses to stand still in the face of this menacing claw like bamboos always stand against the wild wind!

The sharp nails on the claw seem to have pierced into her face. She feels a sense of coldness. Lin Luoran shouts, “Fire Ball spell!”

The White Fairy is frightened. She withdraws her ghostly claw and returns to the round stone peacefully. Then she discovers that Lin Luoran doesn’t even direct any Reiki while shouting. The fairy is struggling between getting angry or surprised — she is actually tricked by a junior!

“You…”

Lin Luoran claps her hands. She looks nonchalant, but she is, in fact, nervous since she may die making this bet.

“Fairy, you are scared by a little Fire Ball spell. Is your essence so unstable?”

Lin Luoran has no idea where her courage comes from. She is unexpectedly right about the situation of the White Fairy with her conjectures and inspirations.

The White Fairy sneers, “Junior, you don’t have to care about the condition of my essence!”

Though the fairy’s att.i.tude is poor, her words confirm Lin Luoran’s guess. Lin Luoran puts up with the att.i.tude of the fairy and says friendly, “Senior, it’s bad for both of us if we stay in the stalemate. How about we sit down, make things clear and figure out a win-win solution?”

The gra.s.s is soft. Lin Luoran sits down and invites the White Fairy to do so. The fairy hums coldly and doesn’t get off the round stone. Moments later, she can’t help asking, “How did you see through my trick?”

Though her body had long since been destroyed, her essence was not harmed. She has been practicing illusionary spell since she was trapped here. The fairy doesn’t believe that a junior in the level of Training Qi can see through her spells.

How did she see through the spell? Lin Luoran gives no straight answer. Instead, she asks in reply, “Fairy, were you so polite to juniors in the level of Training Qi in those years?”

Those years… In those years, she wouldn’t even look at cultivators in the level of Training Qi.

The White Fairy has been trapped in the secret land for too long. A living person suddenly shows up here, and she forgets about the hierarchy in the world of cultivation. The fairy now realizes what her mistake is — she is too impatient?

Lin Luoran knows that the fairy has figured things out. Speaking of the hierarchy, Lin actually has to thank Wen Guanjing. If he didn’t insist on calling her an elder sister, she might forget about this.

Although there are kind seniors in the world of cultivation, the fairy is not good-tempered when she talks. How can she keep asking questions instead of simply seizing and interrogating Lin? The reason must be that she is not entirely sure that she can pull this off.

“Even you are suspicious, I don’t believe a junior like you can tell that this is only my essence…”

Hmm… In the first place, Lin Luoran really didn’t think of this. She only thought that the White Fairy didn’t look like a real person, but it was just a hunch which was totally irrelevant to seeing through the spells.
