I woke up to find myself as the villain's older sister.

Yun Qingyi followed along, listening to Xie Xiyan and his master discuss something about gentian, her eyes lighting up repeatedly.

Although I could only hear one person's words, I still got the gist of it.

"Master, are we ready yet? We've been walking for quite some time now."

"Oh dear, don't rush, we're almost there. Haste makes waste." Ling Xuzi stroked his beard and slowly floated in front of Xie Xiyan.

"Master, can you walk a little faster? The cave entrance is so small, and you keep blocking my view. Are you doing this on purpose?" Xie Xiyan said irritably, looking at Ling Xuzi in front of him after bumping into another rock.

"Young people are just young people, they can't keep their composure. What do you know? Did I walk slowly on purpose? Yes, I did it on purpose, hehe."

Xie Xiyan's face darkened as he bumped into another rock. He took a deep breath and silently told himself that this was his master and he couldn't get angry.

After taking a few breaths, Xie Xiyan's breathing gradually stabilized. He kicked Ling Xuzi's butt from behind without any expression, and Ling Xuzi's soul body involuntarily turned into a ball of light and rolled to the front.

"You traitorous disciple, this is utter disrespect!" Ling Xuzi said, kicking his beard and glaring as he rolled around.

Xie Xiyan: "Hehe."

They quickly followed.

Yun Qingyi watched secretly, then moved quickly and followed them, hiding not too far away behind them on the rocks.

Standing behind the dark reef, Yun Qingyi pondered for a moment and began to disguise herself.

Yun Qingyi licked her not-so-dry lips. She admitted that she had her eye on that dragon egg. Come on, it was a dragon egg! It was a dragon! Who wouldn't be tempted?

Besides, this isn't really stealing someone else's property, is it? The egg is right there; whoever gets it is up to their own ability.

Although that's what she said, she still disguised herself seriously, after all, the less trouble she had, the better. She didn't want Xie Xiyan to recognize her when she was trying to seize the dragon egg.

That's so embarrassing.

After disguising herself, Yun Qingyi continued to follow Xie Xiyan.

After winding through several caves, we finally arrived at the place they had mentioned where the dragon eggs were kept.

"Be careful," Ling Xuzi, who had regained his physical form, said to Xie Xiyan, his expression somewhat serious.

"What's wrong, Master?" Xie Xiyan didn't make any further moves. Ling Xuzi never caused any trouble on important matters, and he was very serious when he needed to be.

Not far away, above a small open area, floated an egg that glowed with blue light, with deep blue patterns constantly flowing across its shell.

Ling Xuzi frowned slightly and glared at Xie Xiyan: "My dear disciple, can you use your brain? This dragon egg is right in front of us, isn't it obviously a trap? What good beast in the cultivation world would leave its eggs outside for someone else to pick up?"

Xie Xiyan, who was about to listen carefully to Ling Xuzi's next move, was choked by these words and his face darkened.

"Master, you can't feel comfortable if you don't criticize me every day, can you?"

Ling Xuzi chuckled, "I'm just patiently teaching you. You should be grateful to have a teacher like me who is so patient and always gives you lessons. No one is better than me."

Xie Xiyan's eye twitched, he opened his mouth but chose to keep it closed, and said with a helpless expression, "Alright, just tell me, what's in this place?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Xuzi cleared his throat and said in a serious tone, "Guard the sea beasts."

"what?"

"Guardian of sea beasts?" he repeated casually, his heavy sword already on the ground, his long hair bobbing with the seawater, a smug smile playing on his lips.

"I'm still a little hesitant about the traps, but it's just a mere sea beast, why not just fight it directly?" With that, he raised his heavy sword and headed straight for the dragon egg.

"Hey! Wait! This... a sea monster..."

Before Ling Xuzi could finish speaking, a powerful force rushed towards Xie Xiyan, and almost instantly, he was slammed into the stone wall.

Ling Xuzi watched as Xie Xiyan was suddenly slammed against the stone wall, and then blankly uttered the second half of his sentence: "...It might not be an ordinary sea beast."

Xie Xiyan: "..."

"My dear disciple, are you alright?" Ling Xuzi said, then discreetly hid behind a nearby reef, only peeking out his head.

Xie Xiyan: "..." I don't want to talk.
