8 Snake and Rabbit 7 (1/2)

The academy was very important only because of the treasure that was there. As for the rest of the fighting between the female lead and the students, Yin Mei had no interest. If she had time, it would be a little fun to watch from the side, but right now Yin Mei had to focus on getting the treasure before the female lead.

Yin Mei thought that she might have gotten a little addicted to stealing the female lead's treasures? Oh well.

She couldn't bring the demon king this time, since she didn't want to interrupt his cultivation, so she could only alert the hidden guard captain before making her way to the academy.

This treasure that she mentioned was one of the best treasures in the story, at least at first look. This is because this is one of the treasures that didn't have as many secrets and wasn't so mysterious, but still very powerful. It was a sword made from the bones of an ice dragon. Because of the female lead's affinity, many of the treasures found here were treasures with an ice affinity.

The reason why no one else realized the existence of this super unbelievably good treasure was because first it was in a mustard seed space that was under the care of the academy, secondly it was in a tricky place to get to even inside that dimension, and thirdly, because it was in a sealed space, no one had been able to sense its existence.

There shouldn't be anything too dangerous, just that the location of the sword was in a bit of a tricky place to get to. That being said, Yin Mei couldn't be too underprepared. Even though she counted as having a pretty high cultivation, Yin Mei wasn't actually Bai Yu. She remembered Bai Yu's memories of fighting and the techniques she knew, but Yin Mei hadn't had a chance to practice them. As a result, she felt that when it came to an actual fight, the most Yin Mei could do was flee? Perhaps she could only exert a tenth of Bai Yu's true power at this time.

Well, preparing didn't take too long though, since she had already brought an unbelievable amount of life saving treasures with her from the demon world. She just took another glance before putting on an outfit that had all sorts of buffs and defensive formations embroidered on it. In addition, she wore a pair of pearl earrings similar to the ones she gifted to the female lead, as well as a few other defense and escape tools.

Thinking she was all good, she headed out for the academy. ”Ughhhhh, why do I have to go out and do this? If only this treasure wasn't so important for the demon king...” Yin Mei mumbled to herself as she snuck through the school campus, wearing the appearance changing brooch and shadow manipulating cloak.

The good thing was that the formations guarding the entrance to the mustard seed dimension were a joke in Yin Mei's eyes. This was because Bai Yu's specialty lay in formations and talisman making. Yin Mei thought it was an odd speciality, but in terms of this ability, even the demon king had praised her talent (at the age of five, apparently).

Maybe it was because Yin Mei was in Bai Yu's body, but she also found formations and talisman making very easy. Even if she didn't, she still had the vast amount of knowledge on it in Bai Yu's mind. She didn't think such meticulous and detailed work suited the carefree Bai Yu, but she had to admit that when Bai Yu got serious, she was actually very talented.

”Hey, did you hear? That waste actually came to school today!” A student passing by said to his friend, mocking clear in his face.

Yin Mei hid in the shadows of a nearby building, eavesdropping on them after hearing the word ”waste”.

”Really? I can't believe the Prime Minister would actually let such a shameful person out of the estate. What was the emperor thinking, allowing a cultivation waste to attend the academy? It'll only drag down our reputation,” the friend replied, his face warped in disgust.

They walked away, the sound of their chattering growing distant. ”The female lead is already at the academy? I should hurry,” Yin Mei thought to herself as she leapt from building roof to building roof. Actually, the female lead wasn't scheduled to discover the sword for the next few weeks at least, but Yin Mei was uncomfortable being in the same place as the female lead for so long. After all, she didn't have the big golden thigh known as the demon king with her at this time.

She couldn't only run slightly faster, soon arriving at the entrance to the other dimension, located inside a small tower. This dimension was an extremely simple dimension, slightly similar to a storage space. It contained various treasures to be rewarded to students that score high on certain exams. It was currently being watched over by two cultivators. From their appearance, they looked like twins, one with white hair and the other with black hair, very handsome.

Since their cultivation was lower than Bai Yu's, Yin Mei didn't think of them as too big of a problem. After all, cultivators couldn't sense the presence of those with higher cultivation, unless the person with higher cultivation specifically released their aura in a way that allowed them to be sensed. Currently, with Yin Mei using a special talisman, there was no way they would be able to sense her. She secretly took out an invisibility talisman, sticking it onto her body and activating it with a thin strand of energy. Taking a deep breath, she stepped out from the pillar she was hiding behind and walked up the stairs to the gate. The twin guards didn't notice her at all.

She entered the gate. There was only a faint ripple from her entrance, which merged with all the other ripples that flowed across the space of the gate. The first phase was over. It was easier than she thought it would be, but she also felt that it was expected. After all, even though this small Li Kingdom had a bunch of awesome treasures, they were still a small backwards kingdom without even a single Demigod practitioner (the highest level of cultivation one could reach in this lower realm).

Entering the dimension, it was like a starry night sky, the stars all different treasures. Yin Mei didn't glance at them, instead taking out a jade sword. The ”slightly tricky place” that the dragon bone sword was in was in the border of this dimension and the void. It sounded complicated, but what she needed to do wasn't too hard...

Yin Mei took the slender and elegant jade sword, waving it slightly. The movement was rough, but somehow still exuded an elegance. It was slow, but also seemingly unable to be seen properly with the naked eye. A single slash, and the space rumbled as a black tear appeared where Yin Mei had cut with her sword.

She jumped into the tear of space after taking a deep breath and gathering up her courage. Inside was just endless darkness. Although it didn't look like much, it was actually very dangerous. After all, she was messing with space here. The demon king would have been very useful right about now, but since he wasn't here, she could only haphazardly wave around her jade sword in order to cut through the different dimensions.
