Tracking by Bailing

Tracking?

What was there to track about Ye Yue?

Although his sister liked to dabble in a bit of peeping, she actually behaved quite obediently in front of him, or around Luoxi and the others.

If there was really anything strange about her...

Occasionally sucking on Lan Xiaoke? Although she would just leave Lan Xiaoke covered in drool, she wouldn't actually eat her, because Ye Yue knew he would get angry.

"Where is Bai Ling now? Is she still at home? Or did she go back to the Tianxuan Continent?" Ye Chuan asked.

"She just went out," Lan Xiaoke said.

Went out?

"Alone?"

"Yeah, I even asked her what she was going to do. Bai Ling said she had important business to attend to." Lan Xiaoke spread her hands.

"I see..."

Meanwhile, on the other side.

On the commercial street.

"Come on, you can definitely do it this time. Isn't this doll way too hard to catch?"

"Yeah, but Ye Yue, you are so amazing! You caught so many dolls with just a few coins."

"Look, look, this one is so close."

Inside the arcade, several young girls were gathered around a claw machine. The girl standing in the middle with grayish-white shoulder-length hair was none other than Ye Yue.

She was currently moving the joystick with focus, trying to grab a doll out of the machine.

However, apart from them, there was also a black-haired woman in a long robe standing in the distance, secretly watching the claw machine.

The peeping person was Bai Ling. Although she had the exact same face as Bai Qianshuang, compared to Bai Qianshuang's expressionless demeanor, Bai Ling's furrowed brows and intense peeping gave off a subtle sense of incongruity.

It should be noted that Bai Qianshuang basically had no expressions, only showing some unique looks when playing video games.

"As expected, she really is an evil creature," Bai Ling muttered.

She had followed Ye Yue out. Those girls clearly didn't know Ye Yue, but when Ye Yue approached them, they acted as if they had been friends with her for a long time.

This was way too strange!

This evil creature must have the ability to distort minds!

And precisely because of this, her master and the others didn't find that creature's actions strange at all.

Just then, Ye Yue, who was playing the claw machine, seemed to sense something and glanced directly toward Bai Ling's direction.

Bai Ling immediately dodged out of sight to avoid being spotted.

"What's wrong, Ye Yue?" a girl next to her asked. Coincidentally, Ye Yue accidentally pressed the button, allowing her to accurately grab the doll.

"Success!"

"Ye Yue, you're so awesome!"

"Really? It's nothing much."

Listening to their conversation, Bai Ling breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed she hadn't been discovered. But then again, she was the strongest sword spirit of the Yuxu Sect. How could she be detected by such an utterly evil entity?

This evil entity would definitely take the opportunity to devour and refine those mind-controlled girls. She had to slay it.

Just as Bai Ling was thinking this, Ye Yue and the others walked out of the arcade holding their dolls. Bai Ling immediately followed, but was stopped by a staff member.

"Hey, beautiful, you haven't paid for your snacks yet."

"Here."

"What kind of currency is this? We don't accept fake money!"

"This is Qianyuan. It is enough to pay."

"And I'm the Common Era! Pay up!"

"Another day. I have important business to attend to."

"Eh?! Hey!"

Bai Ling's speed was incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared from the staff member's sight. Seeing Bai Ling vanish, the staff member was dumbfounded for a moment.

"Such a pretty girl, and she skips out on her bill?"

Bai Ling followed far behind Ye Yue. Because she had locked onto her with her divine sense, she wasn't worried about losing track.

Just as Bai Ling suspected, Ye Yue led the girls toward a remote grove. It was obvious she was looking for a chance to devour them and refine their lifeblood.

"Evil cultivator, today I will definitely slay you."

While Bai Ling was thinking this, the girls entered the grove.

However, after entering the grove, not only were the girls unharmed by Ye Yue, but they instead started collecting wildflowers and plants together.

"Wow, thank you, Ye Yue. With these things, we have enough specimens for our practical class."

"What a great place. We never even noticed it."

"No problem. If you need to collect specimens for practical classes in the future, you can come here too," Ye Yue smiled sweetly.

A little later, the girls went their separate ways home.

Watching this scene, Bai Ling couldn't quite understand.

She actually didn't eat the prey that was right in her mouth?

How truly bizarre.

Just as Bai Ling was utterly bewildered, a voice came from behind her, "Sister Bai Ling, what are you doing?"

Hearing this voice, Bai Ling was stunned for a moment. She spun around, only to find Ye Yue standing right behind her!

How did she suddenly appear here?!

Bai Ling immediately looked toward the direction she was just watching and found that the Ye Yue over there had disappeared!

Spatial magic?

No, this is...

Bai Ling took a step back and drew her spirit sword. "Evil creature! You tampered with the minds of others! Today I will strike you down."

"Sister Bai Ling, you call me an evil creature?" Ye Yue's eyes flashed with a scarlet color. "I haven't really done anything, have I?"

"Hmph, an evil creature is an evil creature. Even if you haven't done anything now, you will in the future," Bai Ling snorted coldly.

"Oh?" Ye Yue dragged out her words. "It seems Sister Bai Ling is determined to kill me."

"But..." As she spoke, pairs of eyes opened up along Ye Yue's arms, densely packed and staring at Bai Ling. Her voice also seemed to become ethereal.

"You can't do it..."

The next second, Bai Ling felt as if her body had taken a heavy blow. The world spun, and her entire body went limp.

"You... this is... poison... Even though I'm an artifact spirit..."

Bai Ling's body swayed, and finally, under the influence of cognitive contamination, she collapsed straight onto the ground.

Ye Yue walked over to Bai Ling and crouched down. Her mouth tore open to reveal a massive maw filled with dense, sharp teeth. "Sister Bai Ling, thanks for the meal~"

"..."

"..."

...

"So, Bai Ling was tracking you all day today?"

By the time Ye Chuan arrived at the scene, he saw Bai Ling completely covered in drool and Ye Yue standing obediently to the side.

"Ugh... bleh..." Bai Ling was still in a state of cognitive contamination, unable to speak clearly.

"Sister Bai Ling is so mean, calling me an evil creature. I'm clearly just a normal girl," Ye Yue said, cupping her face with a tone full of innocence.

Ye Yue had just opened her mouth, swallowed Bai Ling whole, and then spat her back out, considering it a small lesson for the other party.

After all, since Bai Ling had the exact same face as Bai Qianshuang, Ye Yue still couldn't bring herself to actually eat her.

"What a day." Ye Chuan scooped up the slimy Bai Ling with one arm. "Let's go. We're heading home first."
