After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 335 Identity Interest

During the past six months, Bai Lu frequently traveled between the Four Directions Sword Alliance and Shuanghe Village in her flying shuttle, which required passing through Baiyu City.

Each time Baiyu City Lord returned, he would personally inquire about Shen Xu's whereabouts, thus Bailu gained the authority to directly land the flying shuttle at the City Lord's Mansion.

Not long after Bai Yu landed the shuttle at the city lord's mansion, City Lord Bai Yu arrived near the shuttle with a large number of maids.

She had expected another disappointing outcome.

But as soon as she got close to the flying shuttle, she felt a sense of oppression she had never felt before. It was a suppression from her bloodline, an oppression that she could not escape no matter how high her cultivation level was.

Immediately afterwards, she saw the figure of the Qiling White Crane fly to her side.

Before she could recover from her surprise, a soft, sweet girl's voice suddenly entered her mind, "You should be able to hear me!"

Upon hearing this, Lord Baiyu looked at Qiling Baihe with some shock, "It's you!"

"It's good that you can hear me! Listen, I'll give you two choices. The first is that I can dilute the bloodline of the Qiling clan in your daughter's body, so that the Feather Clan Temple will no longer summon your daughter, but your daughter may never wake up again."

Secondly, since Shen Xu cannot enter the Feather Clan Holy Temple for the time being, I can help your daughter delay for a while. However, I cannot be sure when he will be available, and once the delay is over, your daughter will definitely enter the Feather Clan Holy Temple.”

"I'd like to ask what the success rate of the first option is?"

"Because your daughter's body is very weak, the bloodline of the Qiling clan has brought her more than just harm. It has also maintained her vital signs. I think you should know better than me the consequences of rashly removing the Qiling bloodline."

"Do I have any other choice?" A bitter smile appeared on the beautiful face of the City Lord of Baiyu.

At this moment, Bai Lu, along with Guan Bi and Li Xiaoyi, arrived beside the City Lord of Baiyu City. The three of them bowed and said, "Greetings, City Lord!"

"Do I know what's wrong with Shen Xu? Maybe I, Bai Yucheng, can help him in some way?"

"Sorry, he's the only one who can solve his own problems!" Li Xiaoyi replied coldly.

After obtaining information about the Soul Devourer from Yun Yao, she knew that it was enough for her to know this alone.

"Lord of the City, can you hear Xiaobai?" Bailu asked curiously.

"It said it really dislikes the name 'Little White' and hopes you won't call it Little White anymore," said City Lord Baiyu with a hint of helplessness, having already phrased it very tactfully.

"Huh?" Bai Lu looked at Qi Ling Bai He in shock. Only now did she understand why Qi Ling Bai He was not close to her.

"Sorry, since you don't like it, I'll call you Qiling Baihe like the others do!" Bailu suddenly felt a little wronged.

"Please have a simple meal here, as Qi Lingbaihe and I have some things to attend to." City Lord Baiyu gestured for the group to follow her into the inner courtyard.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, City Lord," Bai Lu said, bowing again.

"It's my job to trouble you all."

After arranging things for Bai Lu and the others, Lord Bai Yu led Qi Ling Bai He into the white, enclosed building.

Compared to before it left White Feather City, the little girl's feathered features were more pronounced. More white downy hair had grown on her body, and the tiny wings on her back had grown to the point that they could completely cover her body in just half a year.

"What exactly did you do? How could you regress to this level in just half a year?" Qi Ling Baihe was shocked by the little girl's condition.

“I also really want to know what happened? Xiao Ru’s body didn’t gradually change over the past six months, but rather it suddenly changed not long ago, so fast that I didn’t even have time to react.”

"Not long ago?" Qi Lingbaihe couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

But when it saw the golden-red feather he had placed on the little girl's hair, it suddenly realized what might have happened, and that it might really be its fault.

Originally, it placed the feather here with the intention of helping the girl conceal the Feather Clan Temple's presence, but after it obtained the spiritual blood from the True Spirit Blood Tablet, the feather was also affected, thus attracting the attention of the Feather Clan Temple.

The girl was originally the one the Feather Clan Temple was meant to guide, which intensified the Temple's call to her, further aggravating the changes in her body.

But this also makes it easier for it to operate, because its method is to use itself to temporarily replace the girl and transfer the summoning of the Feather Clan Temple to itself.

Although this might incur punishment from the temple administrators, it will be fine as long as it doesn't actually use the girl's aura to go to the temple.

That way, he can go to the Feather Clan Temple with the girl, and Shen Xu won't have to accompany him again.

Thinking of this, the Praying White Crane spread its wings and hovered in front of the girl. Then, wisps of golden-red light emanated from its wings and clung to the girl's body. Meanwhile, specks of golden fluorescence from the girl's body clung to the Praying White Crane's wings.

After a while, when all the light disappeared, the Lord of Baiyu City suddenly noticed that the Praying Spirit White Crane seemed to have changed. The color of the edges of its feathers was no longer the mysterious golden-red, but a dazzling gold.

Meanwhile, the edges of her daughter's pure white wings changed from gold to a golden-red color, as if the two had swapped wings.

After doing all this, Qi Ling Baihe said weakly to Baiyu City Lord, "She should be safe until I switch back with her. You can wake her up now."

"Alright! I believe you!" A glint flashed in the beautiful eyes of the City Lord Baiyu. She then hurriedly came to the girl's side, stretched out her hand, and waved a faint white glow across the girl's face.

The girl in the nest slowly opened her eyes, which had golden pupils.

"Mother?" The girl's ethereal voice echoed in the white space.

"Xiao Ruo, I have found a way to save you, but you will need to wait for a while. However, you don't need to continue sleeping during this time," Lord Bai Yu said to the girl with a smile.

"Really?" the girl said with great surprise.

After slowly getting up, the girl quickly noticed the change in her body. She immediately rushed into the arms of the City Lord of White Feather in great fear and began to sob softly.

"It's alright, you'll turn back to normal after a while," City Lord Baiyu comforted him with some concern.

"I think your wings are beautiful! Why are you afraid of them?" At that moment, the voice of the white crane reached her mind.

Xiao Ru peeked out from Bai Yu City Lord's arms and looked at Qi Ling Bai He. Then, she waved her own wings with some confusion and took a look. She was immediately startled.

"Did you and I exchange wings?" Xiao Ru asked timidly.

"Golden feather pattern, your bloodline purity is indeed very high, and your senses are also very sharp. No wonder the Feather Clan Temple chose you."

"Alright! I'll switch back with you in a while. You can go out and have fun in the meantime."

"Really?" Xiao Ruo immediately broke free from Bai Yu City Lord's embrace, and then walked barefoot to Qi Ling Bai He's side.

"I have no reason to lie to you."

"Thank you!" Xiao Ru said sincerely.

"You're welcome, but I'll charge interest."
