A divine beast descendant that speaks human language?!

Ji Wushuang's voice carried an apologetic tone as she addressed the "magnanimous senior sister," yet the smirk at the corner of her lips remained unrestrained. She even flexed her wrist nonchalantly, clearly not having had enough of the fight.

For a long time, she had wanted to "return an eye for an eye," but Mo Lanyi always fled like a mouse spotting a cat whenever she saw her. It wasn't as if Ji Wushuang could storm into her quarters just to pick a fight.

Today, however, fate had aligned, and there was no way she would let Mo Lanyi leave without making her pay—turning her into a swollen-faced mess would barely suffice to vent her pent-up frustration.

On the other side, Liu Rutai, attempting to shield Mo Lanyi, was swiftly held back by the others.

"This is a matter between juniors. As an elder, Peak Master Liu, you should refrain from interfering."

"Cause and effect—this is the consequence of Mo Lanyi's reckless words. Consider it a lesson to teach her the dangers of a loose tongue."

"Indeed, Peak Master Liu, it's best not to meddle."

With even the sect leaders voicing their agreement, Liu Rutai had no choice but to withdraw, looking rather awkward.

Seeing that Liu Rutai couldn't protect her, Mo Lanyi finally began to panic. She understood that Ji Wushuang wasn't one to concern herself with "face."

She was even more shameless, even more tyrannical.

Mo Lanyi's eyes reddened, but she obediently said, "I was wrong. I shouldn't have spoken nonsense and tarnished Junior Sister's reputation. Please forgive me…"

Ji Wushuang secretly curled her lip. She had thought Mo Lanyi was tougher than this, but it seemed she surrendered far too quickly. How boring.

From her spatial stone, Ji Wushuang retrieved a prepared "letter of apology" and said, "Since you admit your fault, put your seal on this."

"Seal it?"

"Yes, seal it. Then we'll post it on the Wanshi Monument for all your supporters to see. That way, no one can claim later that I bullied you or tarnished the Sect Leader's reputation."

Lian Xing: "!!!"

Little Martial Aunt was so considerate of him—how touching!

Mo Lanyi stared warily at the letter of apology, but Ji Wushuang sneered, "Don't worry, I'm not like you. This letter merely states the truth. Seal it, and once it's done, we'll move on to the matter of my spiritual beasts."

It was only then that Mo Lanyi realized the spiritual beasts she had beaten belonged to Ji Wushuang.

No wonder they were as arrogant and domineering as their owner—utterly infuriating!

Without further hesitation, Mo Lanyi signed the letter, her cheeks burning red. She was eager to shift the focus to Ji Wushuang's beasts, hoping to turn the tables.

She would see to it that Ji Wushuang's two ugly creatures, after offending the divine beast Bai Ze, would pay the ultimate price!

Once the letter was signed, Ji Wushuang tucked it away with satisfaction. "Now then, before we review today's incident, I have something to present to the elders."

Mo Lanyi, wary, asked, "What is it?"

Surely she wasn't about to openly bribe the Grand Elders?!

Ji Wushuang feigned surprise. "Why, it's the sect mission I completed. Is there a problem with me submitting it? Senior Sister Mo, you're quite authoritative—do I need your approval to complete tasks now?"

At her words, the expressions of Yao Cang and Mu Ziqi darkened, sending a shiver down Mo Lanyi's spine.

"No, that's not it… I just wanted to resolve the matter of Bai being attacked as soon as possible."

Yao Cang said coldly, "There's no rush. The truth will always come to light."

With that, he unhurriedly opened the restored booklet Ji Wushuang handed over. His eyes lit up immediately upon seeing its contents.

However, now wasn't the time to discuss the booklet. Yao Cang, hands trembling, carefully stored it away before glancing at Mu Ziqi.

Yao Cang, familiar with Ji Wushuang's capabilities, had mentally prepared himself and managed to maintain his composure.

Mu Ziqi, on the other hand, was utterly stunned. His expression froze, his breathing quickened, and his heart—calm for centuries—now pounded wildly as if it might burst from his chest.

After a long moment, Mu Ziqi suppressed the tremor in his hands and looked at Ji Wushuang as if she were a priceless treasure. "Ji… no, Little Wushuang, these records… are they… your work?"

Ji Wushuang nodded with a smile. "If the Grand Elder has any questions, we can discuss them later. For now, let's address the injustice done to my two little ones."

Injustice?!

Yes, yes, yes!

How could it not be injustice?!

Little Wushuang's spiritual beasts must be just like her—clever, adorable, well-mannered, and law-abiding!

This talk of "punching Qi Refinement beasts" and "kicking Foundation Establishment beast parks" must be a misunderstanding!!!

Mu Ziqi, cherishing the records as if they were the most precious of treasures, guarded his spatial ring closely, as though fearing anyone might covet it. With a grin, he said, "Let's get to work, then. No time to waste."

Mo Lanyi watched the proceedings in silence, a sinking feeling growing in her heart. What on earth did Ji Wushuang just give them?

The Ghost Immortal shook his head. I don't know either.

Mo Lanyi raised her voice, How can you not know? Can't your divine sense penetrate it?

The Ghost Immortal explained helplessly, I can't see through it because it's just ordinary paper without any spiritual energy. My divine sense can't detect anything.

Upon hearing that it was merely ordinary paper, Mo Lanyi let out a sigh of relief.

So it wasn't some treasure.

Good.

As Liu Rutai began presiding over the case, the spiritual beasts were brought forward. Aside from the two main culprits, who looked perfectly fine, the other Foundation Establishment beasts were in pitiful shape.

At the sight of the two culprits, the other beasts collectively shrank back, evidently terrified.

Only then did Liu Rutai notice the "accused beasts" and was dumbfounded. "Wait, these are Golden Core spiritual beasts? Golden Core beasts aren't supposed to enter the spiritual beast park."

No wonder they had managed to bully every beast in the Foundation Establishment park—Golden Core beasts were like teenagers picking on toddlers!

What a disgrace!

Ji Wushuang blinked innocently. "Peak Master Liu, does the sect have any explicit, written rule forbidding Golden Core beasts from entering the park?"

Liu Rutai faltered. The sect, of course, had no such rule—because no one had ever encountered Golden Core beasts this shameless before.

Before he could respond, a silver-white unicorn pegasus appeared in the distance, regally striding forward. It had clearly taken the time to heal itself and now looked as dignified as ever.

As the descendant of Bai Ze, it would not allow itself to appear weak before others.

Though still a youngling recently hatched from its egg, it had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

Given time, it would undoubtedly grow into a formidable presence.

Both Liu Rutai and Mo Lanyi's eyes lit up at the sight of it. Mo Lanyi rushed over eagerly.

"Bai, are you alright?"

The unicorn pegasus nuzzled her cheek gently, its elegant eyes blinking as it spoke in a voice as melodious as a hymn. "This is all just a misunderstanding."

Its words, spoken aloud, stunned everyone present.

"Speech?! It can talk?!"

"This… how is this possible?"

Ordinarily, spiritual beasts could only refine their laryngeal bones to speak after reaching the Nascent Soul stage and could only assume human form upon transcending the Mahayana tribulation.

But here was a Foundation Establishment beast speaking fluently!

Could it truly be the descendant of a divine beast?!

As everyone gaped, Mo Lanyi brimmed with pride. She raised her brows arrogantly, her gaze falling smugly on Ji Wushuang, eager to see her seethe with jealousy.

Hmph! So what if you have Golden Core beasts?

The Ghost Immortal had already told her that Ji Wushuang's beasts were nothing more than impure mongrels. How could they compare to her Bai?!

Just wait—after what they did to Bai, Ji Wushuang would pay twice over!
