Li Xinmei hugs the Golden Carp with a downcast mood. The Golden Carp shakes its tail and jumps out of her arms, even spitting a water bubble at her.

Earlier, when Su Tingyun used the "Spring Wind and Rain" art on it, it got drenched in water and started spitting water bubbles. Big Bai watches on the side and enjoys it, and also blows a few spiritual energy bubbles as well. Then, as Big Bai jumps around while blowing bubbles, it burst the ones it already made, amusing itself greatly.

This puts a small smile on Li Xinmei's face. "Granny, Big Bai is so cute."

"Yes," Su Tingyun nods. "And very strong too."

Both of them praise Big Bai, which makes it even happier, and it lets out an excited chirp. They walk across the covered bridge and arrive at the arched stone door. Big Bai then invites Su Tingyun and the others to enter its belly, and after hiding all the weak human cultivators, Big Bai gallantly and energetically bounces through the arch.

Once they enter the arch, two diverging paths appear on the left and on the right.

"Which way should we go first?"

"Chirp!" Big Bai's body turns a light gray color. It hates making choices. Generally, choices appearing within the secret realm usually means a choice between life and death. After breaking through to the Tribulation Transcendent realm, Big Bai has become slightly smarter, and it despises making choices. It wishes its body could grow big enough to fill both paths.

Xiao Mei looks at Su Tingyun, clearly showing that everything's up to Granny's decision.

Su Tingyun extends her divine sense slightly to try and perceive further, but her expression suddenly changes.

The mysterious voice beckoning her suddenly intensifies, even though Su Tingyun is inside Big Bai's body, which acts as a very strong natural barrier. She could still hear it clearly.

"Xiao Mei, do you hear something?" Su Tingyun asks nervously. Considering the previous sensation of hunger, and now this uncontrollable pull, she thinks that it’s not a good sign. Therefore, she puts her guard up.

"No, I don’t hear anything!" Xiao Mei shakes her head. Even Big Bai, whose soul has become especially sensitive after entering the Tribulation Transcendent stage, doesn’t feel anything unusual at this moment.

Su Tingyun frowns. "Let's go left." The mysterious voice is calling her, but she has no intention of going towards it.

Big Bai immediately rolls to the right, clearly unable to distinguish between left and right.

Su Tingyun calls out to it, and Big Bai then spins around and rolls to the left. As soon as it takes a few bounces, Su Tingyun suddenly feels a sharp pain in her finger.

It's the ring!

The ring is suddenly heating up. It’s as if the ring is burning through her bones and directly scorching her primordial spirit, and Su Tingyun can't stop herself from letting out a muffled grunt.

Big Bai continues forward, and the pain grows more intense with each passing moment. In just a few breaths, Su Tingyun is covered in sweat.

The ring that has saved her countless times is directing her towards the right.

"Granny, what's wrong?" Xiao Mei notices that something is amiss and quickly supports Su Tingyun, who’s rapidly losing her balance. Big Bai is still embarrassed about going in the wrong direction just now, so it hasn’t noticed Su Tingyun's condition at all. But upon hearing Xiao Mei's voice, Big Bai instantly turns completely black, releasing a powerful aura and vigilantly scanning its surroundings.

Who is it! Who dares to harm Granny in front of its eyes! Big Bai angrily transforms into its biting shape!

As soon as Big Bai comes to a stop, the pain instantly subsides, and Su Tingyun manages to say, "Let's go-, let's go to the right."

Although Big Bai is a bit confused, it quickly hops to the right. The pain on Su Tingyun's body immediately disappears, and she slumps straight down, gasping heavily.

Li Xinmei breathes a sigh of relief and uses her sleeve to wipe the sweat off Su Tingyun's forehead, then performs a cleansing skill.

'Even though Granny is wearing such a young and beautiful body, she is still Granny. Nothing has changed,' Li Xinmei thinks to herself, and her movements become even gentler.

Su Tingyun rests for a while and finally catches her breath. Her ring has always provided a cool sensation to help her, so this abnormal reaction is a first. If it was just a simple reminder, the usual coolness would have sufficed, and Su Tingyun would have immediately reacted. But this time, why did it use such a rough method?

She almost passed out from the pain just now.

She gently rubs the ring, her expression showing a hint of confusion. However, regardless of the reason, this ring has saved her countless times. As for the exact cause this time, she would only find out by investigating it herself.
