Though Bai Xiaofan had always been in a state of fusion, it didn't mean he was unaware of what was happening outside.

He originally thought that after successfully merging with the power of inheritance, his opponent would be Luo Hai. Yet unexpectedly, when he finally succeeded in the fusion and his strength greatly increased, Luo Hai was already at death's door!

"Bai Xiaofan, it's fate that brought us together. Before my soul disperses, let me bestow upon you a boon!"

Luo Hai looked at Bai Xiaofan, mustered all his strength, and with a grand gesture, flung the magical sword towards Bai Xiaofan. With that, his eyes rolled upward, and he breathed his last!

With Luo Hai's death, a wisp of an ethereal remnant soul floated out from his body and entered the magical sword, becoming the sword's soul!

Holding the magical sword, Bai Xiaofan cursed in his heart, "Damn it!"

Damn Luo Hai, even in death you still want to drag me down!

Knowing full well about your hatred with Luo Shen, you died and handed me this sword, with a remnant soul turning into the sword's soul. Isn't this just asking Luo Shen to come after me?

Bloody hell!

We're talking about a Heavenly Immortal here, and you expect a small cultivator like me in the early stage of the Tribulation to contend with her?

Sure enough, just as Bai Xiaofan grabbed the magical sword, the eyes of that woman Luo Shen turned towards him!

"Ahem, if you like it, you can have this sword. I also have a grudge with Luo Hai, and as they say, an enemy's enemy is a friend. So there's no enmity between us!"

Bai Xiaofan awkwardly coughed, casually flicked his wrist, and tossed the sword to the ground in front of Luo Shen!

Although Bai Xiaofan knew that this magical sword was of high grade, possibly not much worse than his Dragon Sparrow Sword, no treasure is worth having if it means risking your life!

Even someone like Luo Hai, at the mid-Mahayana stage, was killed with a single strike. What's the point of him even trying?

Although Bai Xiaofan possessed the Cultivation Technique that allowed him to barely stand his ground against someone like Luo Hai, facing Luo Shen, a Heavenly Immortal, was an entirely different league!

Moreover, Luo Shen didn't hesitate to merge a remnant soul with the Beacon Fire Inner Pill. Could her cultivation technique possibly be lacking?

Hearing Bai Xiaofan's words and seeing the magical sword tossed in front of her, a mocking smile appeared in Luo Shen's eyes.

"Little guy, seems like you're very afraid of death?"

Little guy?

Bai Xiaofan swore that if he could take on this vile woman, he would rush over, grab her, and slap her on her backside forty-nine times!

Damn it!

What's so small about me?

Isn't this an attack on my person?

That's just downright uncivilized!

"Of course I'm afraid of death. I have a wife waiting at home for me to return for soup. If there's nothing more, I'll be on my way!"

But given the situation, Bai Xiaofan, although arrogant, knew when to play the fool. He politely smiled and waved, wanting to turn and leave!

"Did I give you permission to leave?"

Just as Bai Xiaofan finished speaking, Luo Shen's voice, cold with a hint of amusement, echoed over to him.

Soon after, Bai Xiaofan felt a blur in front of his eyes, and a white silhouette appeared before him!

Gulp!

Faced with the exquisite, otherworldly appearance before him, Bai Xiaofan couldn't help but gulp!

Though it wasn't her beauty that affected him, it was the fact that she instantly moved in front of him without him noticing!

"Luo Shen Beauty, is there something else you need? I'm not used to being so close to others!"

Bai Xiaofan forced a smile, speaking while slightly stepping back three paces to maintain distance from Luo Shen.

Listening to Bai Xiaofan, Luo Shen stepped forward again, closing the gap until their noses were nearly touching, her lips parting slightly.

"What did you call me?"

Feeling the warm breath from Luo Shen's lips, Bai Xiaofan felt like he was being teased!

Oh come on!

"Luo Shen...beauty, if you don't like that, I can change it. Luo Shen sister? If that's also not okay, I'll call you whatever you want!"

As Bai Xiaofan spoke, he retreated a few more steps, still wearing a placating smile.

"Hehe, little guy, you must have many female friends in this world, don't you?"

Luo Shen's beautiful eyes showed a knowing smile, making Bai Xiaofan a bit apprehensive, not understanding what this woman meant.

"Not really!"

"If it weren't necessary to kill you today, I would have loved to take you back to the celestial realm as my first student. You're not only very talented but also quite charming in your words!"

As she spoke, Luo Shen moved with graceful steps, closing the distance Bai Xiaofan had retreated, once again nearly touching his cheek with hers!

Damn!

This time, Bai Xiaofan did not choose to retreat, instead glaring at her intently!

So in the end, this awful woman still wanted to kill him!

"Luo Shen Beauty, is it a habit where you come from to stand so close when talking? There's no grudge between us, so why kill me? Rest assured, I haven't seen anything today and promise never to set foot in the celestial realm again!"

Bai Xiaofan spoke with conviction, trying to seem imposing!

If she didn't have plans to kill him, Bai Xiaofan genuinely wanted to go to the celestial realm with her!

After all, he still wasn't sure if the celestial realm was the same ancient immortal realm Bai Qingcheng mentioned, but the name was similar enough, and maybe he could find the illusory spirit water needed to cure Murong Yue!

However, it was clear that this woman intended to kill him, and even if he did get to go to the celestial realm, he'd likely just end up as bones!

"You really are clever, but it's a pity your smarts won't help. I only recently succeeded in merging with the Fire Phoenix Inner Pill, and my Heavenly Immortal level cultivation is still unstable. If word reaches those elders in the celestial realm, I might be in danger!"

"So to ensure my own survival, I must kill you!"

Luo Shen's lips curled into a mischievous smile, gently placing her delicate hand under Bai Xiaofan's chin, speaking softly.

Should anyone see their stance, they'd surely think Luo Shen was flirting with Bai Xiaofan!

After all, given the posture, given the closeness, it's hard not to let one's mind wander!

Their faces were nearly touching, and Luo Shen even reached out with one finger to tilt Bai Xiaofan's chin, looking just like something between lovers!
