The woman was beautiful and her expression was indifferent. She was like a chrysanthemum that bloomed by the mountain – fragrant and mesmerizing.

　　However, that was just the surface. Her eyebrows dripped with arrogance and she exuded a natural aura of intimidation just like a king.

　　“You’re Yunyao, the White Tiger?”

　　Gu Ruoyun’s voice traveled past the layers of fog and arrived by the ears of the elegant woman.

　　The woman chuckled lightly. She said, “Yunyao… Haha, it has been so long since someone called me by that name. Little girl, do you know where this is? Why are you here?”

　　Gu Ruoyun smiled as she replied, “I know that you’re living within the body of this child named Bai Chuan and you need his spiritual energy to nourish your injured body. I’m someone who came to subdue you.”

　　“Subdue me? Haha!”

　　Yunyao burst into laughter. Even the way she laughed was graceful and dignified; this was a real member of the royalty.

　　“What a boastful tone you sport there, little girl! A mere Martial General dares to subdue me? Why would you dare to make such a declaration when you know that I am the White Tiger, Yunyao? Today, I will see the extent of your capabilities that would allow you to subdue me!”

　　The White Tiger Yunyao was a spiritual beast with the bloodline of the Four Divine Beasts. Even though she had suffered severe injuries, her capabilities should never be underestimated. This little girl was just a mere Martial Warrior, how dare she hope that she would submit to her?

　　This was too hilarious!

　　Wham!

　　At this thought, Yunyao exerted her intimidation as an effort to disperse that thread of consciousness that extended from Gu Ruoyun. In her eyes, this should be a piece of cake. However, her smile soon froze on her face…

　　Although the opponent’s thread of consciousness was very weak, it remained within Bai Chuan’s body, wavering and unstable.

　　“It seems that I have underestimated you, little girl! Although your abilities are unsatisfactory, you made it up with your determination. You held on under the assault of my intimidation but it must’ve taken a toll on your physical being, no?”

　　Yunyao was right.

　　The intimidation from the White Tiger was too powerful. Gu Ruoyun powered through the attack by sheer willpower and that was what prevented her thread of consciousness from dispersing. After all, once the thread of consciousness disappears, it would be incredibly difficult to bring it back in again; that caused quite an injury to her body.

　　If she did not possess a consciousness that was stronger than ordinary people, there was a possibility that she would have turned into an idiot after that attack.

　　“Yunyao, you’re inside Bai Chuan’s body just to recover from your injuries. What if I could help you with your healing?”

　　Gu Ruoyun smiled as she studied the changes in Yunyao’s expression.

　　Yunyao was taken aback for a second before she snorted, “Why should I believe you, little girl? Humankind was always a sly one; if it wasn’t for you cunning humans, I would never have sustained such a severe injury that can’t be healed all these years. I wouldn’t have lost contact with my other three companions too.”

　　Yunyao never had any compassion towards the devious humans. Moreover, this little girl had come here directly to subdue her, and that behavior was not any different from the other humans that used evil tricks and conspiracy that nearly caused them to be trapped.

　　“If you do not believe me, I could let you have a taste of it now.”

　　Gu Ruoyun knew that Yunyao would not easily believe in her words. Thus, she secretly released the spiritual energy from the Ancient Divine Pagoda slowly.

　　An endless spiritual energy was channeled into Bai Chuan’s body through that thread of consciousness and it rushed towards that pond that dried up.

　　Yunyao’s body suddenly paused. Aside from shock, her face was colored with undisguised happiness and excitement.

　　She could not help but closed her eyes as she quickly absorbed the spiritual energy that was released by Gu Ruoyun into her body.
