Immortal after a Hundred Reincarnations

"Bai Ling, oh Bai Ling, Master has been so good to you. Why did you have to leave Master all these years?"

The stooped Old Daoist Nun said, "Master wanted you and your senior brother to become Dao Companions.

I hoped you would Dual Cultivate, I didn't want you to be a Furnace Cauldron!

You have misunderstood Master."

"That's right, Junior Sister."

The young man chimed in, "I genuinely like you. I never wanted to treat you as a Furnace Cauldron.

If you're willing to be my Dao Companion, we can have a good life together. What do you say?"

But Bai Ling's expression was frosty, and she remained unmoved.

After all, she had used her Creepy Spirit to spy on them long ago, eavesdropping and seeing their true colors.

Naturally, she didn't believe a word they were saying now.

Besides, even if it were just to become Dao Companions...

This young man was completely unworthy of Bai Ling.

Although there was a significant age gap between them, when it came to Cultivation, Bai Ling's was now actually a bit higher than his.

"If you refuse to do this the easy way, we'll have to do it the hard way and keep you here by force."

"We raised you from childhood and gave you so many resources, didn't we? Now you're all grown up and want to run off somewhere else to become some other man's Dao Companion? To writhe in pleasure beneath another man? How could you even think of such a thing?"

"The best things must be kept in the family. I suggest you behave and not fail to appreciate the situation!"

"That's right. Master is old now. Fighting me will only be a waste of your own energy! Think clearly!"

"Master can swear an oath. As long as you agree to marry your senior brother, you will absolutely just be Dao Companions! There is no way you'll be treated as a Furnace Cauldron!"

"I'll be very gentle with you, Junior Sister. Trust me, alright?"

The mother and son continued their silver-tongued persuasion.

But Bai Ling remained silent, not saying a word.

Seeing that she had lured the two into position...

Suddenly, an Imperial Decree in Bai Ling's fair, jade-like hand flashed. A barrier of light from an Array erupted, trapping the pair.

"Heh heh, Little Bai Ling, don't you know that Master is an expert in Arrays?"

"A meager Array like this won't hold Master for long."

"You set up an Array? Do you think I haven't done the same?"

"I saw through your plan long ago. And this Trapping Array of yours? I can even add another layer to it!"

"Why don't we all stay here together! Let's have a proper chat, master to disciple and senior brother to junior sister!"

At that moment, the stooped Old Daoist Nun waved her hand, tossing out several items.

These items also emitted a glow, forming a barrier of light that enveloped the area.

It intertwined with the first Trapping Array.

Neither of their Arrays were particularly sophisticated; they were just simple Trapping Arrays.

They merely prevented anyone within from leaving for a short time.

And at that moment, Xu Lei made his move.

In Xu Lei's eyes, the Old Daoist Nun was just spinning a cocoon to trap herself.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Xu Lei couldn't be bothered with pleasantries. He stepped forward, raised his Shotgun, and opened fire on the mother and son.

A hail of bullets screamed toward them.

The mother and son were taken aback.

The Old Daoist Nun then channeled her Magical Power, deflecting the bullets to the side.

She then produced an umbrella. By channeling her Magical Power into it, she was able to block the bullets.

Meanwhile, her son retreated behind her.

After all, the Old Daoist Nun felt she was old. It was enough for her to handle this; there was no need for her son to get involved.

Xu Lei didn't mind. He just kept firing.

After all, while the Old Daoist Nun's umbrella-shaped Magical Artifact could block the bullets, it certainly consumed Magical Power.

If this kept up, the Old Daoist Nun would sooner or later be drained to death.

On Xu Lei's end, however, it cost him nothing. After all, the bullets and explosives could always be manufactured again.

Unlike Magical Power, which was incredibly difficult to replenish.

Just as Xu Lei thought he could wear down the mother and son and win a battle of attrition...

...he unexpectedly spotted an opening. The son's foot was exposed, not covered by the umbrella!

Xu Lei immediately took a step to the left. While continuing to fire the Shotgun, he pulled a pistol from his Storage Bracelet.

He aimed the pistol with his left hand and fired a single, precise shot. BANG! The bullet struck the young man's ankle.

The son had been hiding behind his mother, not even bothering to use his Magical Power for protection.

He assumed his mother's protection was absolute.

'I'll save my own Cultivation for pursuing longevity and attaining the Dao.'

He never expected a bullet to fly at him with such speed, striking him squarely in the ankle.

He couldn't help but let out a pained cry. "Aaargh!"

The pain forced him to stumble and drop into a crouch.

In that instant, Xu Lei fired again.

It was almost a headshot.

However, the son's Magical Power finally surged forth, forming a barrier in front of him. It stopped the bullet in midair before flicking it aside!

Her son's cry startled the Old Daoist Nun.

She whirled around, using the umbrella-shaped Magical Artifact to shield him from the bullets.

Xu Lei took another sidestep, moving to a new flanking position.

But now, the Old Daoist Nun counterattacked.

Her Flying Swords, seven in all, whistled through the air, streaking toward Xu Lei.

But Xu Lei had already summoned the black alms bowl, which now hovered over his head, deflecting the attacks.

Bai Ling offered to use her own Magical Power to control the black alms bowl and help Xu Lei defend.

But Xu Lei refused.

The black alms bowl didn't consume that much Magical Power.

Besides, Xu Lei needed to stay mobile; he couldn't just stand in one place and shoot.

If Bai Ling were to help control the black alms bowl, she'd have to run around following him.

And right now, she still needed to maintain the Trapping Array.

"I'll do it."

Just then, Qing Lian stepped forward. She wrapped her fair arms around Xu Lei from behind and said, "Let me control the alms bowl. That way, Senior, when you move, you can just carry me along. You can focus entirely on your attack."

Xu Lei didn't refuse.
