These people used to say such nice things, but at this critical moment, not a single one of them was willing to plead for her.
Even in this situation, Lin Yibai never once thought about self - reflection. She simply shifted all the blame onto others.
In her heart, she cursed the system for being useless, cursed True Lord Hengling for being too weak to protect her, and cursed Pei Xuanjing and the others for being heartless and unrighteous.
But what she resented most was Shen Qing!
She cast a resentful look at Shen Qing and saw Shen Qing looking down at her indifferently. There was nothing in that look.
"Shen Qing, you're quite pleased with yourself, aren't you!"
The next moment, Lin Yibai's hair quickly turned gray and dry, losing its former luster.
Her once young and beautiful face seemed to have all its vitality drained away in an instant, turning into that of an old woman.
This sudden change surprised everyone present.
Lin Yibai stretched out her hand, originally wanting to point at Shen Qing and curse, but saw that her once fair and smooth fingers had become like dried tree vines. She stared in horror with wide - open eyes.
"What's wrong with me?!"
She made a sound, but all she heard was a hoarse and unpleasant voice.
Lin Yibai grabbed her own neck with her wrinkled hands. "What's going on? My voice, my hands!"
She trembled as she carefully touched her face, but all her fingertips felt were roughness and wrinkles.
"Ahhhh!!"
Lin Yibai let out a shrill scream. "My face!!"
Everyone watched her warily, fearing that she would turn into a demonic creature again.
"What's going on? How did she become even older than you?"
Elder Yaoyue leaned over to True Lord Hongdie and whispered.
True Lord Hongdie rolled her eyes. "Who are you saying is older?"
Yaoyue didn't argue. She asked worriedly, "Isn't she going to eat something and turn into a demonic creature again?"
True Lord Hongdie tightly grasped her whip. "It shouldn't be. But if she does turn into a demonic creature again, I don't believe that with so many of us here, including Yu Xuzi, we can't defeat her."
"But..." Even though Hongdie said so, the demons had left too many shadows in Yaoyue's heart, and she still couldn't feel at ease. "The cultivation techniques of the demons are strange. We mustn't be careless."
True Lord Hongdie nodded. "You're right. Let's see what she's going to do next."
He Yu and the others were shocked by Lin Yibai's change and quickly stepped back, keeping a safe distance from her.
True Lord Hengling, seeing Lin Yibai's old face, finally lost the last bit of affection he had for her.
He stepped back in disgust, as if afraid of getting contaminated by something dirty.
Remembering that Lin Yibai had touched his sleeve just now, he wished he could take off this clothes and burn it right away.
Lin Yibai, who was already on the verge of collapse, became even more hysterical after seeing everyone's actions.
She shrieked at He Yu, "Second senior brother, didn't you say that my sword - holding posture was the most heroic and graceful, like a celestial maiden from the Ninth Heaven? What do you mean by this expression now?!"
Then she turned to Shen Chuyun. "Fourth senior brother, didn't you say that Shen Qing smelled like a country bumpkin and wasn't worthy of being your sister? I've always been the sister in your heart, haven't I? I've always regarded you as my own younger brother!"
She blinked her eyes and made some cute gestures in a hurry, but with her old and ugly face, it only looked extremely ridiculous and strange.
The others remembered the sweet words they had said to Lin Yibai before and got goosebumps all over their bodies.
Suddenly, a voice sounded in Shen Qing's ear. "Host, the guilt values of the five important male supporting characters have dropped to zero. The effect of the love curse has disappeared. Please continue to pursue them, host!"
At the same time, Lin Yibai broke down in tears and frantically grabbed Pei Xuanjing, who was closest to her.
"Senior brother! How about we become Taoist companions? Can you fall in love with me? I'll always be your little junior sister!"
Lin Yibai clung tightly to Pei Xuanjing, and her old face was extremely close to his.
Pei Xuanjing smelled the old and stinky smell on Lin Yibai and couldn't help retching in an unseemly manner.
This action seemed to stimulate Lin Yibai, making her voice even shriller. "You actually think I'm disgusting!"
"When you secretly touched me and often put your hand under your nose to sniff it, why didn't you think I was disgusting?!"
As she spoke, she rushed forward like a madwoman, trying to kiss Pei Xuanjing.
Pei Xuanjing was so ashamed and angry that he couldn't bear it any longer. He gathered spiritual energy in his palm and slapped Lin Yibai away.
Lin Yibai's body was now like that of a centenarian, fragile and easy to break. Everyone could clearly hear the sound of her ribs breaking when Pei Xuanjing's palm landed.
But Lin Yibai seemed to feel no pain. Like a vengeful ghost, she entangled He Yu, who was closest to her.
He Yu, who was used to seeing all kinds of beautiful women and had been pestered by them, was pestered by an ugly and disgusting old woman for the first time.
He frantically tried to slap away Lin Yibai's hand that was tightly holding onto him, his face full of panic.
"What are you doing? Let go of me!"
Lin Yibai opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, blood gushed out of her mouth, splashing all over He Yu.
Shen Qing stared blankly at this sudden change. Before she could react, Li Xian pulled her and dodged the dirty blood.
Shen Qing was held in Li Xian's arms. She looked up blankly and found that Li Xian was extremely tall.
Li Xian lowered his head, his face full of worry. "Are you scared? Don't be afraid. With my master here, he will surely protect you."
Shen Qing nodded.
She wasn't scared. She just thought that Lin Yibai's sudden actions were too strange and not like what she would usually do.
Lin Yibai desperately chased after the disciples from Worry - Free Peak, but they were afraid of being entangled and kept pushing each other, trying to use others as shields.
The whole hall was in chaos, just like children playing hide - and - seek.
True Lord Honghua rubbed his forehead with a headache, then gathered spiritual energy and shouted, "Enough!"
"What do you think this place is? Stop now!"
Shen Qing sighed, feeling extremely embarrassed. She even thought that her once being a disciple under True Lord Hengling on Worry - Free Peak was the biggest stain in her life.
She nervously looked at Yu Xuzi, afraid that he would have a bad impression.
Unexpectedly, Yu Xuzi had already hidden in a corner where no one noticed. He took out one handful after another of sunflower seeds from his storage bag and started to crack them.
The look on his face as if he was watching a good show was just like that of a mortal child watching a circus performance.
There was already a small mountain of sunflower seed shells at his feet.
The "crunch crunch" sound made Shen Qing's eyebrows twitch.
Noticing Shen Qing's gaze, Yu Xuzi even generously took out a large handful of sunflower seeds and sent them over with spiritual energy, putting them into Shen Qing's hand.
Shen Qing twitched the corners of her mouth and understood Yu Xuzi's lip - reading. He was saying:
Don't be polite. They're freshly made. Eat quickly!
But don't share them with my gluttonous disciple!
