Chapter 135: 135

Chapter 135 – White Dragon Tongue

The ash-gray moon in the sky is radiating a cold radiance

Illuminated by the moonlight that pa.s.ses through the gaps between the branches and leaves, a small wooden hut is faintly outlined .

There are blue flowers growing around the hut and a brook flowing nearby . A simple wooden waterwheel creaking and water gurgling play a beautiful lullaby .

This place – this illusory place looks like a scene from a fairy tail .

… “Pure white” stepped into this fairyland .

While a la.s.s dressed in a white dress treads in the brook with her bare porcelain-white feet, light, fragmented foot steps echo in the air .

The clean, spotless white hair is more dazzling than the bright moon in the sky . The graceful snow-colored fox tail touches the surface of the brook, lifting ripples one after another . The linen clothes she wears are rather light and thin . Under the moonlight, the beautiful silhouette of the la.s.s is revealed .

The la.s.s – Beiming Youyu – treading in water came to visit this small wooden hut located deep in Martial Demon Realm .

There is a dim light coming from the hut’s window .

When Beiming Youyu reached the hut, she knocked on the door gently . The sound from the door is so soft that it instantly melted into the moonlight .

There is no response .

But Beiming Youyu knows that the owner of the hut is on the other side of the door . She feels the presence of the other party .

Just as she looked up and wanted to knock a second time…

Squeak, the door opened .

As the door opened, platinum hair flowed out through the crack in the door .

Two pairs of purple eyes reflect in each other .

The girl who appeared from behind her door looks a bit like Beiming Youyu . Similar hair color, similar iris color, similar temperament .

Beiming Youyu knows that the other party’s appearance is specially modeled after her .

… “For us, you are our radiance . ”

Therefore, the girl specially abandoned her original appearance . She wants to become a “radiance” much like Beiming Youyu .

“You came . ”

The girl said softly .

Her words portrayed the shape of gratification and the outline of excitement, as if the parent she was waiting for finally returned home .

However, all this fell apart in the next moment .

“Big Sister Beiming, I have been waiting for you for a long time…”

As if she is about to cry, she revealed an unsightly smile, and even her voice contained a subdued sobbing .

This sentence that is an outlet for the girl’s tumultuous emotions tore open Beiming Youyu’s chest and plunged deep into her heart .

“Xi He, I know . ”

Beiming Youyu responded lightly .

However, her gaze fell on the ground .

She doesn’t dare to face Xi He . That is the only person she can’t face .

“Come in . ”

With this, Xi He turned around and went back into the wooden hut . Her silhouette melted into the candlelight and disappeared in front of Beiming Youyu’s eyes .

Beiming Youyu silently came into the hut and saw a dim and simple scene .

There is only simple wooden furniture inside exuding a faint scent of wood .

An old-fas.h.i.+oned, neatly-arranged bed is placed underneath the only window in the hut .

In the center of the hut, there is a square table accompanied by only two chairs, one new and one old . The new chair radiates the l.u.s.ter of freshly-painted furniture, and is the only painted furniture in the hut .

Xi He’s figure is nowhere to be seen .

However, the fragrance of tea came from the back of the hut .

Did she go make tea… Beiming Youyu smiled . She approached the table, intending to sit down and wait for Xi He . But then she hesitated which chair to choose and stopped by the table .

According to her personality, she would choose the old one without hesitation . But when she thought some more about it, she felt that the new chair is probably…

“Sit on the new one . ”

Xi He who has already made tea walked over while carrying a tray with a teapot and teacups .

Sure enough, she specially prepared it for me . Did she antic.i.p.ate that I would show up… No, she just believes in my word… It’s been 10 years already, yet she still believes in me?

Her thoughts going back and forth, Beiming Youyu sighed secretly .

Despite this, she still complied with Xi He and took a seat on the new chair .

“My skill is lacking, so the tea I brewed is not as fragrant as yours . ”

Xi He first put a teacup in front of Beiming Youyu, then lifted the teapot and filled the teacup .

Beiming Youyu picked up the teacup and took a sip .

She closed her eyes and appreciated the fragrant taste in her mouth . It is a fragrance she hasn’t tasted for a long time, a flavor unique to Martial Demon Realm .

“Tea is not all about taste, but also about the intention . ”

She exhaled white vapor, feeling comfortable .

“I hope you can get used to it . ”

Xi He smiled faintly and sat down across from Beiming Youyu .

“Why wouldn’t I… be used to it? It’s just that I haven’t drunk it in a while . ”

How long is a while? 10 years? 20 years?

Perhaps it has been 100 years .

Beiming Youyu is watching the ripples in the light green tee, dazed .

The tea is made from the petals of a kind of spirit flower called “White Dragon Tongue” . Because White Dragon Tongue grows in a very dangerous place, which is located deep in Martial Demon Realm, humans hardly set foot into it, and it’s circulation outside Martial Demon Realm is virtually nonexistent . She hasn’t drank this tea ever since she left Martial Demon Realm and joined Spirit Moon Valley .

“Because you abandoned this place . ”

This sentence is a huge blow that hit where it hurts .

“Yeah, I did give up this place . ”

The voice is hoa.r.s.e and grating .

Beiming Youyu’s words seem to be mixed with the unpleasant sound of bones being rubbed together .

Many years ago, when the unprecedentedly talented her stepped into Heaven Realm, she left Martial Demon Realm, and then founded Spirit Moon Valley after a freak combination of factors . Over the years, she became a Grandmaster, and Spirit Moon Valley gained a foothold since then . Over the past 100 years, under her leaders.h.i.+p, Spirit Moon Valley squeezed out the declining Desolate School and successfully sat on the throne of the Five Great Sects, and then gradually developed to what it is today .

It can be said that everything Spirit Moon Valley possesses was obtained through Beiming Youyu’s effort .

However, compared to Spirit Moon Valley, an increasingly more powerful martial demon sect that carved out a place for itself in a world that dislikes martial demons, Martial Demon Realm, the homeland of the martial demons, is gradually declining due to the suppression and exploitation done by humans .

If Beiming Youyu hadn’t abandoned Martial Demon Realm and chosen Spirit Moon Valley, would the current Martial Demon Realm be able to obtain stability and happiness in this world and become the shelter for martial demons? Would the martial demons living in Martial Demon Realm no longer need to fear being harmed by humans?

No one knows the answer .

What’s more, if she stayed in Martial Demon Realm and didn’t embark on the martial path, no one knows if Beiming Youyu would be able to become a Grandmaster .

No, she probably wouldn’t be able to .

After all, it is because you walk to the extreme of the martial path that you are called Grandmaster… Beiming Youyu sighed lightly .

But no matter the case, the fact that she hasn’t done anything for Martial Demon Realm can’t be changed .

As her comrades in Martial Demon Realm were being humiliated, ravaged, trampled on, Beiming Youyu kept silent .

She couldn’t speak out, for she knows that the uneasiness and dislike resulting from the apprehension humans feel for martial demons has never subsided .

The reason why Spirit Moon Valley can gain a place for itself in a world dominated by humans is purely because of her existence, which induces them to transfer the negative emotions that they originally placed on Spirit Moon Valley to Martial Demon Realm .

Since then martial demons have been divided into two categories – Spirit Moon Valley’s martial demons and Martial Demon Realm’s martial demons .

Under the condition that the total amount of hatred towards martial demons remains unchanged, the good impression that humans developed towards Spirit Moon Valley’s martial demons has given rise to an increase of their dislike for Martial Demon Realm’s martial demons .

This some sort of balance kept in place through transfer .

Therefore she could only watch the homeland of martial demons fall into agony . She could not speak out, act, or criticize, or else humans might recall, recall that fact that there is no difference between Spirit Moon Valley’s martial demos are Martial Demon Realm’s martial demons that they have deliberately hidden deep in their minds .

If this were the case, then Spirit Moon Valley would be pulled into a black vortex that can rip everything apart and torn to shreds .

Although Beiming Youyu is a Grandmaster, but…

“Xi He, I don’t have the power to be an enemy of the whole world . ”

Her tone is plain, as if she has just made an irrelevant statement . She is hiding the helplessness and guilt in her heart .

There is no one who wouldn’t shed a tear, who wouldn’t feel sad knowing that their homeland is suffering .

Beiming Youyu is no exception .

Therefore when she received the letter from Xi He, the eyes she believed have already dried up shed tears .

… “I will replace you as the radiance of Martial Demon Realm . At all cost . ”

There were only a few words in the letter .

Beiming Youyu remembers that when she first saw Xi He, the young martial demon could only complain tearfully to her that she lost her family .

However after reaching the Heaven Realm with her extraordinary perseverance, she said that she would become the radiance of Martial Demon Realm and would protect the happiness of Martial Demon Realm at all cost .

Before the world, a Heaven Realm master is clearly even smaller than a Grandmaster . Yet Xi He is willing to do everything, to attempt the impossible .

What she wants to protect is what Beiming Youyu abandoned .

Therefore Beiming Youyu had no choice but to come .

Even if she cannot help the other party, she must witness everything that is going to happen .
