A huge golden lotus bloomed at the girl's feet, clear as a thin wing, with pure gold outlines on the edges of the petals. The petals fluttered lightly, shimmering with tiny rays of light, as if a goddess had descended.
However, such a beautiful scene could only be appreciated by the handsome young man.
The arrows, each pierced with a Five Thunder Talisman, fell with a swift motion, causing Xu Shaoxuan to frown in alarm.
The handsome young man was momentarily stunned when he saw Wu Yue suddenly appear and block his way. However, after only a few breaths, he hurriedly reached out and grabbed the girl's sleeve, "You... I'll protect you, you go first."
Wu Yue glanced back at the handsome young man with a strange look in her eyes. She seemed not to understand why the young man would say such ambiguous things.
Despite their doubts, the main concern was Xu Shaoxuan, who was eyeing them menacingly, intent on killing them. Wu Yue stared straight ahead, waved her hand, and a row of unidentifiable talismans appeared before her.
A hint of doubt flashed in the eyes of the handsome young man standing behind her, but it quickly turned into relief and determination.
Of course, Wu Yue didn't notice these changes. She focused on Xu Shaoxuan, whose face was filled with ruthlessness, and suddenly realized why he had asked that question before leaving.
What followed... could only be described as a crushing defeat.
The handsome young man glanced at the man lying on the ground, barely breathing; the man's body was just as bloodless as his own. He thought to himself, then turned his head uneasily to look at Wu Yue, as if he were hesitating about something.
The boy lowered his eyes, concealing the loneliness that had accumulated over millennia, and hiding the traces left by the vast night in his eyes.
When she looked up again, her eyes were brimming with tears.
He bowed and performed a mountain and sea salute, a gesture full of respect and extremely elegant and beautiful.
Wu Yue's eyes lit up; she had never seen Lu Shu and the others perform such etiquette before.
A handsome young man is indeed a handsome young man. Even his bows are more beautiful, elegant, and classy than others. Compared to the gods waving their sleeves, the mountains and rivers clearing, and the stars strolling, he is more stunning.
Wu Yue's faint smile didn't last long, because half a breath later she heard the handsome young man's extremely ambiguous words again. This time she didn't just want to complain, but was more surprised and puzzled.
“I should have protected you, not hidden behind you. Please punish me, my lord.”
"Well, I don't know you, and I'm not your master." Wu Yue waved her hand and took two steps back, making it all too clear that she wanted to distance herself from you.
The handsome young man raised his head, looking astonished: "I've only been gone for ten thousand years, and you've already forgotten me? My lord, I am Bai Ze."
“Yes, I know the name Bai Ze.” Wu Yue nodded. “But I don’t know you.”
The earliest record of Bai Ze is found in Ge Hong's "Baopuzi," which describes Bai Ze as omniscient, able to see into the past and know the future, and also able to speak human language. It was once asked by the Yellow Emperor to create a compendium of ghosts and gods. Therefore, from very early times, Bai Ze has been worshipped as a divine beast that can exorcise ghosts and as an auspicious omen.
If this person really is Bai Ze, then Xu Shaoxuan's act of harming Ze was simply foolish. A smart person would have already tricked him into going home and worshipping him, or rather, invited him home.
Bai Ze was momentarily dazed and incredulous. He suddenly stood up, ignoring the fact that his reopened wound was bleeding again, and the fragrance of the medicinal herbs became even more intense.
Wu Yue looked at Bai Ze with some concern, showing her interest.
Honest as she was, the thought that Bai Ze could exorcise ghosts and take people away grew stronger and stronger.
"Book God... why don't you remember me?" The loneliness of ten thousand years had only dissipated halfway, and suddenly it was poured into his eyes like clear water. The tears glistened, like stars that had been washed clean, so soft and bright that they were breathtaking.
Wu Yue met his gaze and quickly recited the mantra in her mind.
My Yan Chiyu is the most handsome... My Yan Chiyu is the most handsome... Yan Chiyu is the most handsome...
Beauty can be harmful; stay alert!
"Hey, let's talk this out. Don't look at me like that." It's making her seem like a heartless man. Honestly, she's not that kind of person at all.
Bai Ze still looked as if he had been struck by lightning.
-
There is a creature called Bai Ze in Dongwang Mountain. It can speak. When a virtuous ruler shines upon the most remote places, it will come to him.
