Chapter 195 - The Saintess and the Sacrifice (1/2)

The woman’s eyes are so cold, like she is not a human. She casts an emotionless glance at Lin Luoran and asks indifferently,

“Who is…Baojia?”

Lin feels that she just took a head-on blow.

Baojia went missing outside of the Bushman’s tribe. Lin and Wen forced Yakee, chief of the tribe, and Barney to be their guides. The four of them walked in the desert and were attacked by the scorpions. Then they were drawn into this underground world by drift sand. Lin later met Wen at the foxes’ cave and the two went through the danger of lava… Baojia is like a sister to Lin. Lin feels obliged to save her.

Now, Baojia is standing right in front of Lin, but she is acting like they are strangers. Lin feels cold all over her body.

Seeing that Lin Luoran is about to lose herself, Wen Guanjing, who has been in silence, pulls Lin’s sleeves.

“Sister Lin… This may not be the real Baojia.” Wen says in a low voice but he doesn’t try to hide his voice. He has a feeling that this “Baojia” who came here on a beast is extremely powerful. As a bystander, Wen is actually able to think more calmly.

Qin Baojia’s level of cultivation was low. There is no chance that her power can feel like a deep sea. The woman in front of them is definitely not Sister Lin’s best friend!

After being reminded, Lin comes to her sense. She is usually composed and she was being surprised by “Baojia”’s sudden appearance. Lin steps back and checks on this woman. She is in a loose ancient costume and a ribbon is in her long hair — This woman looks nothing like Baojia except for her face.

Baojia never likes ancient costume. She always says that she can’t get the Tang costume Li Xi’er wears every day.

Before coming to Africa, Baojia cut her hair to cope with the hot weather. It has only been days since Lin last saw her… Her hair can’t grow so fast.

Baojia’s long eyes are always so glowing and the glow makes her look beautiful and elegant. If Lin Luoran can be compared to a gentle jade, Baojia will be a s.h.i.+ning diamond.

Lin looks “Baojia” in the eye. Her eyes are blank and empty. The expressions in her eyes feel like the clouds in the sky, which is unreal.

This is not Baojia!

Without noticing, Lin clenches her fists.

She steps back. After coming here on a beast, the woman who looks like Baojia has said nothing after the question “who is Baojia”. It’s like that she doesn’t care about Lin and Wen at all.

The woman looks around. She seems to be satisfied by all the s.h.i.+vering animals on the ground. Suddenly, she turns around and asks Lin and Wen, “Why don’t you two kneel?”

Kneel—? Why should we kneel?

Wen asks.

Hearing Wen’s question, “Baojia with long hair” finally shows another expression except indifference… Is she slightly angry?

Yes. She is.

The woman flicks her sleeves and Wen falls back. To be more specific, Wen is blown away like a stone!

Of course, Lin won’t stand there and watch Wen get hurt. Rolling lava is right behind them. If Wen falls into the lava, he will be immediately melted. Therefore, in a flash, a vine rushes out of Lin’s palm and circles around Wen Guanjing. With wood Reiki, Lin Luoran has managed to help a seed of the iron thorn to grow up into a vine in one second.

“Bound!” Lin Luoran shouts. She tries to draw the vine and Wen back, but the momentum on Wen’s body is so strong that Lin is almost dragged into the lava. Lin’s feet are off the ground. She steps on the wall around the platform and her shoes are almost on fire. Luckily, she manages to land on the ground along with Wen Guanjing.

Lin gasps. She looks at the woman with long hair warily. Now Lin is sure that the woman in front of her is not Baojia — This woman only looks like Baojia. She tried to kill Wen with the first strike. How could she be Baojia?

Lin Luoran doesn’t want to think about the worst scenario. The worst case is that the woman here is Baojia, only being possessed…

The woman is more powerful than Lin and Wen. They don’t know what to do except for staring at the woman warily.

“You stupid Qi-trainers…are so reckless.” The woman draws a conclusion on Lin and Wen. She doesn’t seem to want to kill Lin and Wen now, and she even stops to ask them to kneel.

The beast which has four burning hoofs and a horn on its head looks like a bull or a dear. It moos.

The woman seems to be able to understand what the beast is saying. She is surprised.

She stands up and looks at Lin’s feet. A cyan little fox is lying by Lin’s feet.

“It is you. Why are you hiding?” The woman smiles and waves her hand. The cyan little fox loses control of its own body and it flies to the woman reluctantly.

Lin worries that the woman may hurt the little fox. She moves her right hand. The next second, a ball of light hits Lin’s right hand. Lin feels a sharp pain.

The woman says coldly, “Silly Qi-trainer, don’t try again. If you do, don’t blame me, the saintess, for killing you instantly despite of the sacrifice.”

Saintess? Sacrifice?
