Let's debut, fairy!

Chapter 31 No power to fight back
"Tsk tsk tsk, Su Xintang, you've finally decided to come out?"

An abrupt sound interrupted Meng Bai and Su Xintang's enjoyment of the scenery.

The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw Lu Qichang, a protector of the Lu family dressed in black and holding a sword, flying down from below. He quickly flew to a position slightly higher than the two of them.

"Who are you?" Su Xintang didn't recognize him, but she could tell he was from the Lu family.

"The Lu family bestows the surname Lu upon the Dharma Protector, Lu Qichang Le." After saying this, he twirled his sword and struck a rather dashing pose in the air.

"Loading the cargo." Meng Bai couldn't help but complain to Su Xintang via voice message.

“The surname bestowed by the Lu family needs to be placed before the original surname for distinction. This protector’s original name should be Qi Changle. It seems that he has only recently entered the divine embryonic stage,” Su Xintang explained in voice.

At the same time, she clasped her hands politely and said, "So it is Protector Lu Qi in person. May I ask why you stopped him..."

"Don't play dumb!" Lu Qichang interrupted with a cold snort. "Let me ask you, why did you trick my goddess out of the extra money she used when buying souls from the ghost messengers?"

"?" Meng Bai, is the "add-on" he's referring to me?

"I truly do not understand what you are saying." Su Xintang's eyes also changed.

"It seems you'll continue to play dumb unless I explain things clearly." Lu Qichang paced back and forth in the air.

He sneered, "A few days ago, my goddess spent 57,000 to buy a dead soul. The ghost messenger promised to give her a free soul as a bonus, but you took that bonus..."

Before she could finish speaking, Su Xintang retorted, "There's probably a misunderstanding. That wandering soul was my reward for protecting that ghost messenger. How did it become your goddess's?"

"I have a letter written by a ghost messenger as proof, how can you still not admit it?"

Su Xintang's face immediately darkened, and she did not reply.

As for Meng Bai, his face looked as if he were constipated.

Damn it, I must meet that Liu Yuanqing when I get the chance, and see why he's worth 57,000.

"Su Xintang, my Lu family has always been charitable. Originally, considering your youth and ignorance, we agreed to return your soul and have you kowtow nine times outside the Zheng Shen Mansion to apologize. My goddess is magnanimous and will not hold it against you..."

"Heh~" Even Su Xintang, with her easygoing personality, was amused by these words.

Meng Bai said, "Xintang, your biggest secret right now is coming back to Earth with me. We need to take this opportunity to test whether they know about my special abilities."

Su Xintang agreed, and deliberately said, "The Goddess Xi Qing has purchased countless souls. I think it's not that she wants to add to the collection, but that you are using the Goddess's name to plunder."

"Insolence!" Lu Qichang's face turned cold. "A mere servant's descendant dares to presume to guess the goddess's thoughts? You think you're worthy?"

"No matter what, I lost that soul a long time ago, how can I return it?"

"It's alright if it's lost, just buy another ghost to make amends." Lu Qichang replied without thinking, since a ghost was a rather unacceptable excuse anyway.

The real reason was that Yu Xuanchen bit Lu Yunluo, the young lady of the Lu family.

They want to use this incident to blackmail Su Xintang into handing over the Purple Lotus Divine Token.

Speaking of the Purple Lotus Divine Token, it was a reward bestowed by the Purple Lotus Divine Palace after Su Xintang surpassed her fellow disciples to take first place in the final assessment of her cultivation period.

Holding this order allows her preacher to help her with a certain task.

It just so happens that her master attained the Spirit God status seven days ago, and the Lu family received the news in advance.

Therefore, Lu Yunluo devised a plan to use Yu Xuanchen as leverage, forcing Su Xintang to take the token to her master to exchange for a position as a sacrificial attendant.

Meng Bai and Su Xintang are unaware of this yet.

They were still relieved that the Lu family didn't know about their special abilities.

However, to their surprise, Lu Qichang then said, "The matter of the dead is a small matter, but what you shouldn't have done is that your sister Yu Xuanchen has gone mad and dared to bite Miss Yunluo!"

Upon hearing this, Su Xintang's heart leaped into her throat, and she immediately demanded, "What have you done to my sister?"

"I think you should return the soul first, then come with me to the God's Mansion to kowtow, and then we can talk about your sister's matter." As Lu Qichang spoke, he lowered his head and played with his fingernails, looking like he didn't take Su Xintang seriously at all.

"I'll ask you one more time, what did you do to my sister?" Su Xintang gritted her teeth.

Meng Bai reminded him, "Shoot a [coordinate] in front of him, then teleport there instantly and catch him off guard. Don't waste words, just beat him up. Beat him until he submits before asking questions."

Not a trace of fear.

The sapling with two black buds was growing its roots at an alarming rate, filling Meng Bai with a strange, manic excitement.

Lu Qichang was pleased to see Su Xintang raise her hand and sneered, "Oh ho, you want to fight me?"

Su Xintang remained silent, but instead sent out a coordinate to Lu Qichang Le.

Lu Qichang continued to sneer, "A lowly servant of the Jade Bone Realm dares to act arrogantly in front of me..."

The words are not finished yet.

He suddenly felt a tightness around his neck.

Looking again, he realized that Su Xintang had grabbed him!
"What happened to my sister?" Su Xintang asked in a cold voice.

Lu Qichang was ecstatic.

He didn't understand how Su Xintang, who was clearly a hundred meters away from him, could suddenly appear so close.
It's alright. Someone at the Jade Bone Realm, do you think you can hold me back?

He reached out and grabbed Su Xintang's wrist, then forcefully twisted it... twisted it again... and twisted it once more...

'How is this possible?' Lu Qichang was completely dumbfounded this time.

He was clearly more skilled than Su Xintang, so why couldn't he pry her hand off?

Su Xintang thought Meng Bai was right and didn't bother to argue with him anymore. She used the incense and magic to work wildly, grabbed Lu Qichang Le by the neck, and slammed him to the ground from the air!
"Bang!" Lu Qichang crashed into the mountain below like a meteorite, stirring up a cloud of dust.

"Pfft~" He spat out a mouthful of blood and was about to rest and fight back when he saw two bright meteors in the sky, each carrying a small sword, shooting towards him.

"The Falling Star Technique?" He hurriedly dodged.

Having just dodged the sword shadows and before he could even regain his footing, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, and a mouthful of blood mist spurted from his mouth.

But Su Xintang descended from the sky and stepped directly on his heart, pinning him to the ground.

"Miss Su, spare my life!" Lu Qichang hurriedly cried out.

"Where is my sister?" Su Xintang flicked her finger, and the two silver bracelet swords were pointed at Lu Qichang's throat.

"Point to his eyes," Meng Bai reminded him.

Pointing at the eyes is obviously more oppressive than pointing at other parts of the body.

Sure enough, as soon as the sword moved to his eyes, Lu Qichang immediately replied in a rapid-fire manner: "He was arrested in the Zheng Shen Mansion prison on Miss Yunluo's orders."

"Who is Yunluo?" Meng Bai asked via voice message.

“Lu Xiqing’s cousin is also a blood descendant of the God of Power,” Su Xintang explained.

Then, he asked Lu Qichang, "What does Lu Yunluo want to do?"

"I truly don't know. I'm just here on orders to find you." He couldn't possibly reveal Lu Yunluo's true purpose. The betrayer wouldn't fare well.

He continued, "Miss Su, I admit defeat to you today. But I am a protector of the Lu family, and although my life is worthless, if you kill me, there will be countless troubles to come."

If it were any other idiot, such words might have turned into "threats" in the end.

But this guy is a master of subtle persuasion, very skillful; it's obvious he's gained experience from begging for mercy.

Su Xintang couldn't kill him. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Since you're convinced, you should leave your money and magical artifacts behind according to the rules. Get out!"

"Of course, of course! Thank you for sparing my life. I will repay your kindness in the next life..." Lu Qichang continued to say nice things while leaving behind his magical artifacts and money before quickly running away.

"The Heavenly Realm has such rules?" Meng Bai asked, puzzled.

"Fighting consumes magical power, damages magical artifacts, and if you get injured, you have to spend money to buy medicine. Even if you win, you have to recoup some of your losses." Su Xintang said, putting the items into her spatial storage.

Then, she looked up at the Divine Palace, which was partially visible in the sky above the clouds.

Suddenly I felt a little lost.

Even with a surge in strength, it would be futile against the True God Palace.

"Meng Bai, what do you think I should do next?"
