Silence.
Silence.
A deathly silence.
The time between heaven and earth seemed to have stagnated at this moment.
The scene.
Everything seemed to have come to a standstill.
Moments later.
"Bastard."
Bai Yueru snapped out of her daze as her sword appeared in her hand once again. She stabbed at Hun Xiu ruthlessly.
Swoosh!
Clang!
Hun Xiu placed his hands behind his back and used two fingers to clamp down on Bai Yueru's sharp sword.
"Isn't that what you meant?" Hun Xiu asked in return.
Bai Yueru's performance.
Made him understand.
He seemed to have misunderstood something.
"What do you think?"
Bai Yueru snorted coldly. Her sword that was clamped down by Hun Xiu spun and split apart two of Hun Xiu's fingers.
She continued to stab at Hun Xiu.
Clang!
Hun Xiu flicked his finger and flicked Bai Yueru's sword away. "Since it's a misunderstanding, let's have a good chat!"
Bai Yueru was forced back by Hun Xiu's finger. She retreated several meters before stabilizing herself.
Bai Yueru was slightly alarmed.
Her heart was shaken.
One had to know.
She had not held back at all!
He had only flicked his finger gently and she had been flicked away.
It was evident.
He was very strong.
This made Bai Yueru even more certain of her decision.
"Alright."
Bai Yueru agreed to Hun Xiu's suggestion.
She wanted to have a good chat with him.
The sword in her hand disappeared.
"Let's go!"
"Let's talk inside!" Bai Yueru walked into the house and said slowly.
Hun Xiu didn't let his imagination run wild, so he followed after them.
Inside the house.
It was very clean.
There was a table, chairs, and a bed.
Everything was there.
"Have a seat!" Bai Yueru sat by the table and gestured for Hun Xiu to take a seat.
"Okay."
Hun Xiu did not hesitate.
He sat opposite Bai Yueru.
Bai Yueru said, "I don't know who you are, and I don't want to know who you are."
"I just want you to promise me one thing."
"What is it?" Hun Xiu didn't refuse, but asked instead.
Bai Yueru did not immediately answer Hun Xiu. Instead, she looked at the little girl who was sleeping soundly on the bed not far away.
His eyes were filled with unwillingness, reluctance, and other complicated emotions.
A moment later.
Bai Yueru retracted her gaze and looked at Hun Xiu. "Please take her away."
"Hmm?"
"Take her away?" Hun Xiu's interest was piqued. "Why?
You know, this is the first time we've met. It's not good to take her away, right? "
From Hun Xiu's point of view, this was what Hun Xiu thought.
It seemed to be no different from eloping!
Bai Yueru looked seriously at Hun Xiu and said, "Ling 'er treats you as her brother. I can tell that she likes you a lot."
"Therefore."
"Ling 'er should be very happy with you."
"What about you?" Hun Xiu asked in return.
"Why don't you take her away?
You know that I'm just a stranger. Why do you trust me so much? "
"Aren't you afraid that I'm a bad person?"
Bai Yueru looked at Hun Xiu and shook her head. "I trust you. Even if you are a bad person, it's impossible for you to be one of those heinous villains."
"You trust me?"
Hun Xiu extended his hand and said with a wry smile, "This is the first time we've met. Why should you trust me?
Why should you trust me? "
"Because …"
Bai Yueru hesitated for a moment before saying seriously, "You are very handsome. You are the most handsome person I've ever met."
"There is no other."
"Uh …"
Hun Xiu said in a somewhat speechless manner, "That counts as a reason?"
"Yea."
Bai Yueru nodded seriously and said, "It does count as a reason. You have to know that bad people typically don't look that great."
"Especially the heinous villains."
"You are so handsome. Even if you are a bad person, you aren't that bad."
"I …"
"There's nothing I can say." Hun Xiu smiled wryly.
He did not know.
When he wiped out the entire Spirit race, would Bai Yueru still think the same?
She believed that he was not a bad person.
Even if he was a bad person, he was not one of those heinous villains.
"Alright, I can barely agree with you." Hun Xiu said with a nod.
Following that, he changed the topic and said, "Your reason has moved me. However, there's one more thing. Why don't you take her away yourself?"
"You are an Elder of the Spirit race. It's very easy for you to take her away.
Why trouble a stranger like me? "
"Heh heh …"
When Bai Yueru heard Hun Xiu's words, she revealed a wry smile and said, "You saw what happened today. I believe you don't understand, right?"
"Yea."
Hun Xiu nodded and said, "Indeed."
"I don't quite understand."
Hun Xiu could not understand the series of actions that the Spirit race's clan leader, young mistress, and Elders had done today.
He did not understand.
Why would they fight over a young girl?
"Could it be …"
Hun Xiu thought of something as he lampooned inwardly. He already had a guess that was close to the truth.
However, this guess that was close to the truth still needed one more step. That was to verify that his guess was the truth.
Bai Yueru said with a wry smile, "The Spirit race is already sick. It's very sick and it's almost beyond cure."
"The Spirit race needs a savior to appear. And that savior is that black-dressed woman with thick makeup."
"She is the Spirit race's savior. The upper echelons of the Spirit race have always believed that. Even the Spirit race members believe that she is the savior."
"And this savior needs to save the entire Spirit race. She needs to sacrifice a person. You should be able to guess who it is."
"That is Ling 'er."
"Five years ago, Ling 'er was born. There was a worldly phenomenon.
And the Spirit race's savior took something from her. "
"Five years."
"With the item he took from Ling 'er, this savior has achieved what he has today."
"Now."
"It's been almost five years."
"Ling 'er is almost five years old. Which savior has set his sights on Ling' er's eyes?"
"What's laughable is that this is something that the entire Spirit race has agreed to." When she said that, Bai Yueru's face was filled with mockery.
Following that, she continued, "I've never heard of a savior sacrificing a child to save his clansmen or gain strength."
"Ling 'er doesn't have much time left because something was taken away. If she were to dig out her eyes, she would have even less time left."
"The experts in the race have discussed it. When Ling 'er is five, we will sacrifice Ling' er to fulfill this savior's wish."
"These five years will give Ling 'er a happy childhood. She will be able to leave happily when she is five."
"But …"
"That savior does not have such thoughts. Ever since Ling 'er can remember, that savior has constantly sent people to harass Ling' er."
"If not for me constantly protecting Ling 'er, that savior would have long dug out Ling' er's eyes."
When she said that, Bai Yueru clenched her fists as though she was gnashing her teeth.
