154 – A Pure White Figure
Xue Qilin followed Puppy.
Under his lead, Xue Qilin and Phecda went deep into Martial Demon Realm.
Considering the environment, Puppy’s current pace is rather rapid… Of course, this is the result of Xue Qilin urging him. However, Merak Temple’s Young Ancestor doesn’t seem to be satisfied with this.
Although she agreed to meet with Beiming Youyu, but she hasn’t forgotten about Qi Qiqi and them. She is getting more and more anxious as time passes. If the person who wants to see her wasn’t Beiming Youyu, who has been kind to her, Xue Qilin wouldn’t care about the other party.
I must see Beiming Youyu as soon as possible, and then find Little Seven! Only this thought remained in Xue Qilin’s mind.
“Too slow! I’ll take you to fly, show the way!”
Xue Qilin suddenly said so after walking for 1 li. Before Puppy could react, she picked him up and stuck him under her armpit. Then Puppy made startled sounds, “Ah ah ah –“. In order to further increase the speed, Xue Qilin rose into the air and broke away from the encirclement of the trees, thus reducing the time spent on avoiding the trees.
After changing the way of moving forward from walking to flying, the speed of the three increased dramatically.
The scenery quickly flew by.
The sun is setting in the west. Faint yellow color spread and enveloped the earth.
Xue Qilin, while carrying Puppy, and Phecda, like two shooting stars, are depicting two straight trajectories across the flame-colored sky and moving toward the northwest.
The wind pressing against the ears produces a ringing.
However, her thinking has unexpectedly become clear.
— wait a moment. Why does Beiming Youyu want to see me? After suddenly realizing that she still doesn’t know the reason, Xue Qilin voiced her doubt.
“Puppy, did Beiming Little Fish [1] say why she is looking for me?”
The wind is very strong, and thus the volume of her voice has increased unconsciously.
Despite this —
“What did you say, Big Sister Immortal Lady? I can’t hear you clearly.”
Puppy asked back loudly, apparently not having heard Xue Qilin’s question clearly.
In order to go against the noise of the wind, Xue Qilin shouted while enunciating each syllable, “I, said, what, does, Bei, ming, Little, Fish, want, from, me!”
“Bei — Beiming Little Fish?”
Finding it hard to hide his surprise, Puppy’s eyes widened. His expression seems to be asking, “Big Sister Immortal Lady, where did you get the courage to call Big Sister Beiming ‘Beiming Little Fish’?”
In normal circumstances, Xue Qilin would tease the other party. But now she isn’t in the mood for it.
“This is not the point!”
Xue Qilin is looking straight ahead.
“The point is, why is she looking for me?” Xue Qilin asked for the third time.
The scenery in front of her is full of dark green. She humphed, apparently tired of this seemingly endless scenery. No, perhaps it’s not the monotonous scenery feeling her vision, but the chaotic situation that is really bothering her.
Xue Qilin hopes that Puppy’s answer can help her dispel her worry a little.
However, she is doomed to be disappointed.
I don’t know either — Puppy answered thusly.
“Big Sister Beiming just asked me to get you… she didn’t say for what reason, only that she wants to see you.”
Doesn’t know anything!
“Ah! How vexing!”
Xue Qilin clasped her head, hollered, and even scratched her head.
As for Puppy, whom Xue Qilin suddenly let go, Phecda caught him in time.
“Qilin, do you want him to fall to his death?”
When Phecda rebuked her master, Xue Qilin realized she nearly let Puppy fall to his death.
“Uh…” Xue Qilin rubbed her nose awkwardly, “I’m sorry, I was careless.”
Still in a state of shock, Puppy turned his neck stiffly and looked at Xue Qilin. He clearly hasn’t reacted to the accident yet.
“It really wan’t on purpose… Do you hear me, Puppy?”
He isn’t scared silly, is he? Anxious, Xue Qilin waved her hand in front of Puppy.
“Puppy?”
“Ah! I do!”
Puppy shook abruptly, and his sluggish eyes finally focused.
He looked at Xue Qilin and Phecda back and forth, and then looked at Phecda’s arms embracing him from behind. He should be ascertaining if he is well and sound.
Puppy’s gaze suddenly landed on a place.
“Big Sister Immortal Lady, it’s there!”
“Really!” Xue Qilin looked in the direction Puppy is pointing with a finger, “Is it there?”
“Yes.”
Puppy nodded repeatedly.
Xue Qilin and Phecda exchanged a look, and then adjusted their flying trajectory.
Their destination is a meadow, an empty place that seems like it has been dug out in the forest. The meadow surrounded by a sea of trees looks like a sinkhole.
Instead of trees, there is a small wooden hut in the meadow. There is a brook flowing beside the wooden hut, and a simple wooden waterwheel is spinning on top of the brook, gurgling.
“Someone lives in this deserted place?”
Xue Qilin raised her eyebrows and murmured. If it was her, she wouldn’t want to live in such a forsaken place like Martial Demon Realm.
“Puppy, we’re going to land! Grit your teeth and bear with it!”
Xue Qilin adjusted her posture in the air and lowered her speed gradually, preparing to land.
“Ok, okay!”
Puppy took a deep breath, and then screamed, “Wahhhhh –!” He probably didn’t expect the so-called “landing” to be so violent.
The three approached the ground in a near free fall.
“Big Big Big Big Sister Immortal Lady, we’re going to crash, crash!”
Of course, they didn’t crash into the ground. But almost.
Before Xue Qilin and Phecda touched the ground, they made a sharp turn, almost cutting across the ground. After landing, due to the inertia, they took a few steps forward before steadying themselves.
Phecda let go of Puppy, letting his feet touch the ground. However, without calming down, the lad still screamed with his eyes closed.
“Why are you screaming?”
Xue Qilin stood up on tiptoes, leaned forward with one hand on her hips, and glanced at Puppy unhappily.
“We already arrived! You’re a man, be more steady! Next time you see Little Jade, ask her how to be a reliable man! She is more manly than you!”
Only then Puppy recovered his composure and opened his eyes cautiously.
“So, sorry.”
“Don’t say sorry so easily!”
Xue Qilin glared at him, upon which the latter shrank back in fright.
Just told him to be more steady, and he immediately says sorry, what is this? After sighing, Xue Qilin, no longer paying him attention, shifted her gaze and searched for a certain figure. Before long, she found a figure she hadn’t seen in a long time next to the waterwheel, in front of the brook.
It’s a pure white figure.
Gazing at the female figure from behind, she looks as ethereal as usual. Surrounded by an air of transcendence, she looks like a dandelion that will dissipate into the air at any time. Xue Qilin even has the misconception that the girl doesn’t exist in the world.
Her sense of existence has turned faint!
