Chapter 85 Yun Chuan regains his memories and dies, but it's just the beginning of their next encounter...
When Meteor led his men over, they had already dealt with a tiger-incarnated cougar.
Meteor alerted everyone, walked over to Zhan Kui, and asked her, whose body was stained with the blood of Guanghan, "Are you alright?"
Zhan Kui shook his head, his big eyes lingering on Guang Han: "I'm fine, but Guang Han's arm was almost torn off!"
"Senior brother, what's going on? Didn't you say that since the tiger is dead, the evil spirits will soon disappear?"
Meteor's expression was serious, his brow furrowed: "The tigers in the tiger's den have indeed been killed, but there are probably some that have escaped."
Given Meteor's personality, he should have gone to comfort Guanghan properly. He would have carefully inquired about every commoner, let alone his teammates whom he personally led.
But he only stood there for a moment, then seemed to suddenly remember something and said as if in a daze, "We don't know how many 'Chang Gui' there are, or when they will launch their attack. It's too dangerous. I'll go and assign guard teams."
Then he turned and left.
No one thought anything of it, and Meteor did indeed start planning the security team as he had said.
However, when Bitao was squatting on a tree not far away, eating fruit, she saw this scene from afar and tasted something different.
She stared at Zhan Kui, who was circling around Guang Han, her thoughts wandering.
The group decided it was unwise to linger there and quickly continued their journey out of the woods, but as they had anticipated, the attack was far from over.
They hadn't gone far when another evil spirit appeared, disguised as a tiger, and attacked them.
The number of changgui appearing each time is uncertain, and it is also uncertain from which direction they suddenly dart out.
Although there were special teams on guard against and attacking the evil spirits in all four directions of the group, and they were always on standby, their reaction was timely and no one died in the attack.
However, every time the cougars appear, they are fearless and will harm civilians or cultivators, even if they cannot kill people.
People's hearts began to waver, especially as public trust in meteors was on the verge of collapse.
When the tiger, which was actually a demon in disguise, launched its attack, they disobeyed orders and several of them were quickly killed or wounded.
This has caused even greater panic among the people.
The faster they traveled, the more they wanted to get away from the forest as quickly as possible, the more frequently the demons attacked. Each attack required them to regroup, greatly slowing down their journey.
Then, because they spent the whole morning burning the tiger cub's body, and in the afternoon, the attack by the evil spirits delayed their departure from the mountain, they were still in the mountains when the sun set.
As the last ray of light disappeared into the ground, the group quickened their pace, only to find that they were still in the same place after running for a long time.
The demonic miasma descended once more, trapping them in the mountains and forests, putting them back in the same passive situation they had been in before, when they were ambushed by hordes of demonic foes.
"What is this ghostly miasma? Why are we just going around in circles?" Some villagers were terrified and knelt down, kowtowing in all directions. "Tiger Immortal, please spare me, please spare me! I won't seek revenge anymore, I won't seek revenge anymore..."
He was a middle-aged man around forty years old, strong and healthy. His only son had been captured and taken to the mountains. He gathered a group of relatives and friends, armed with various hoes and pickaxes, and charged into the mountains fearlessly.
But after many twists and turns, and seeing everyone around him die, he fell into a tiger's den. Every day he saw one person after another being dragged away to feed the tiger cubs, and all his courage and bravery were worn away.
He was lucky enough to be rescued and was about to return to the "human world," but then he encountered a miasma and was trapped halfway there, and his spirit collapsed.
The crowd was already on edge, and his repeated cries of "Tiger Immortal, please spare my life!" only stirred up more anxiety. As cultivators, Meteor and the others couldn't attack him, but fortunately, the leader of the group, "Big Ox," was reasonable enough to quickly walk behind the man, raise his hand, and strike the man on the back of the neck.
The middle-aged man quickly lost consciousness.
"Big Ox" said to the people, "The cultivators could not have predicted this situation, but there are no immortals in this world who would kill or harm living beings, and there are no tiger immortals at all. Everyone, don't be afraid."
"The cultivators have all come to rescue us, and now they are trapped with us. We must work together to get out safely!"
"Two people, carry Uncle Fugui to the side to rest."
The brief internal turmoil subsided, and everyone was no longer able to leave the mountains and forests. There was no need to waste energy running around, so they rested for the time being and remained on high alert.
The fellow disciples should have been sitting together, but now the formation has become very strange.
The members of the Supreme Sword Sect were divided into two distinct groups.
Bitao was with Zhang Yuluan, surrounded by Zhan Kui, Guanghan, Bingjing, and her husband Bing.
Lin Xuantu and Wei Danxin sat down far away from them, surrounded by a group of cultivators from other sects, with Wei Danxin seemingly at the head, whispering among themselves.
Zhang Yuluan called two people twice, but both of them looked very strange and refused to come over.
In particular, the fourth junior brother, "Lin Xuantu," refused to even glance in their direction, always keeping his back to everyone.
Zhang Yuluan returned to Bitao's side, holding her sword and looking down at her, asking, "Did you have a falling out with your fourth junior brother and your eldest senior brother?"
Bitao: "...Is that so?"
Zhang Yuluan stared sharply at Bitao, her face full of disappointment, and said, "Were you entangled with Fourth Junior Brother and got caught by Eldest Senior Brother?"
Bitao tilted her head back, her red lips slightly parted: "..." Impressive, Second Senior Sister.
Zhang Yuluan got the answer from Bitao's face, snorted and said, "I knew you would fail. You love this one today and that one tomorrow. What's the use of fighting and scrambling? Now you've lost everything!"
Zhang Yuluan muttered to herself, sat down again, ignoring the "love and hate" between her fellow disciples, and even feeling somewhat fortunate to have withdrawn from their complicated relationship.
Zhang Yuluan, holding her sword, leaned against a tree trunk and pretended to doze off.
Bitao’s companion, Zhan Kui, nudged her: “What exactly happened? I noticed Binglun was acting strangely a long time ago. When he was dealing with the Changgui, he killed the Changgui, and when he saw you coming, he quickly turned around and changed direction.”
Bitao pondered for a moment: "What she said is half right."
Bitao glanced sideways at Zhan Kui and said, "If you want to know, you have to answer one question for me first."
"What's the problem?" Zhan Kui was the type to say anything to anyone, especially to Bi Tao, with no reason to hide anything from her.
"Did you and that 'sky skater' ever get intimate in private back then?"
Zhan Kui was taken aback, not understanding why Bi Tao suddenly brought up Tianhua.
Tianhua died in Xi Egui's illusion. Before he died, he almost cut off Liuxing's neck. It is unknown whether he was controlled by Xi Egui or what. Zhan Kui always felt sorry for him.
Tianhua is the "demure and sweet" type, and he often bickers with Zhankui, who finds him quite amusing.
But at this moment, she admired Bitao somewhat, cupped her hands in a gesture of respect, and said, "He himself might not even remember this. Sister, how do you know that we kissed when he was drunk once? Do you have supernatural powers?"
Bitao thought to herself, "Just as I suspected."
Tianhua didn't just not remember kissing Zhan Kui; he probably didn't even know how he died.
Bitao didn't explain how she guessed it, but she succinctly told Zhan Kui how Mingguang and Binglun regained their memories.
After hearing this, Zhan Kui laughed so hard he fell to the ground and couldn't get up.
"Hahahahahaha—" Zhan Kui laughed so hard he was digging his head into the ground, as if he had transformed from a fish into a dog digging a hole.
The atmosphere wasn't right for laughter, so she desperately suppressed it, her whole body trembling, like a dog having an epileptic seizure but still insisting on digging its own grave.
Bitao had anticipated her reaction, and sat cross-legged, continuing to piece together the clues in her mind.
Zhan Kui laughed so hard he almost fell over, then climbed over to Bi Tao's side, buried his head in her arms, and rested it on her lap.
"My God, you really do see all sorts of things when you live long enough! Binglun actually likes you, hahaha..."
Bitao: "He just misunderstood me, and now he's ashamed of himself."
"What misunderstanding? How could it be a misunderstanding? Anyone who spends time alone with you would find it hard not to like you."
Zhan Kui said, "Don't you know that most of the male immortals you get along with are interested in you? And they even get together in private to talk about how you're a womanizer."
Bitao frowned, looking down at Zhan Kui, who was resting his head on her lap: "What nonsense are you spouting?"
"How am I talking nonsense? The way you make friends is not only open-door, but you also open your wallet."
"You're so nice to everyone, you'd even worry about where their ancestral graves are buried so they can benefit from the dragon vein. Those peach blossom eyes of yours look so affectionate even when you're looking at a dog. The male immortals think you like them, but then you turn around and start being nice to someone else. Your young love is nipped in the bud. Of course they'll call you a jerk behind your back, but they can't bear to break off all ties with you, right?"
Bitao: "...You're probably just lustful to everyone, aren't you?"
"Really! I've even privately turned down several guys who wanted to confess their feelings to you!"
"I told them it was best not to tell, because if they did, Tao Tao wouldn't even be friends with them anymore, and that's why they gave up!"
Bitao raised an eyebrow: "Are you blocking my path to romance?"
Zhan Kui blinked his big eyes: "Of course, I know you can only have eyes for the best Mingguang. Every time someone confesses their feelings to you, you act flattered and politely refuse, but don't you just quietly push them away?"
"Thank you," Bitao said sincerely.
However, she honestly didn't know who liked her. In her view, everyone was a friend, and she opened her heart to build connections; she left her room and purse open because she didn't care.
In this respect, she is just as stubborn as Mingguang, who always mentions the friendship of "close friends," and is just as arrogant and ruthless.
Zhan Kui twirled his hair with his fingers, looking up at Bi Tao's chin, and said, "If I were a man, I would have already hooked up with you."
Bitao closed her eyes and argued with her: "I don't like fish-headed people. I don't have an appetite like Guanghan."
Zhan Kui turned his head slightly and looked at Ming Guang for a while, then whispered, "Bing Lun definitely likes you. If it's just a simple misunderstanding, given his personality, he would definitely think that you deliberately seduced him and tried to sow discord between him and Ming Guang. Sister, believe me, I have a lot of experience in love."
Bitao, of course, did not believe Zhan Kui's advice; her advice was simply to fall in love with every woman she met.
Zhan Kui couldn't stay lying on Bi Tao's lap for long.
Guanghan is currently in a deep sleep after taking a pill due to her injuries and shock.
He was unlucky; whether he was human or immortal, he was not good at fighting. He had just been bitten by Zhan Kui when he was bitten again by a tiger transformed from a ghost.
Few of the cultivators from Taixu Tower went into the mountain this time; most of them had died. Since no one was gathering with Guanghan, he could only stay by Zhankui's side and rest in an open space not far from Bitao.
Zhan Kui, who was "experienced" in this, found it boring to see him asleep, so he went to bother Liu Xing.
Bitao: "...Sigh." She let out a deep sigh.
Zhan Kui survived only because of her lucky charm.
In the middle of the night, the ghouls launched another group attack.
Although everyone was prepared, they had already used up all their magical artifacts and talismans, making it extremely difficult to cope.
The cultivators were scattered, and several of the mortals without cultivation were killed in the blink of an eye.
As one of the cultivators fled for his life, he glanced back at the horrific sight of the torn and dragged corpses of the common people on the ground and couldn't help but lament, "How can there still be so many vengeful spirits? Are we... doomed to never get out of these mountains?"
"Gentlemen, follow me and form ranks!"
Mingguang's voice echoed steadily through the night, and all the immortals who had regained their memories spontaneously gathered towards him, forming an array under his command.
The moment the formation was completed, crimson-gold light spread out from the earth like a snake. All the ghosts touched by the golden light were instantly burned by the spiritual light, screaming in agony, and then turned into ashes.
Just as Zhang Yuluan was about to find Bitao to resume commanding them against the Changgui, she saw her senior brother and other cultivators from different departments form some kind of array. Wherever the golden light of the array passed, the Changgui scattered. It was an unparalleled display of power that she had never seen before, and her expression was strangely indescribable.
One of the cultivators exclaimed in surprise, "What kind of formation is this? Its power is so immense!"
Looking at the array symbols that were moving around and gradually gathering into shape, Bitao quickly recognized that it was the Five Elements Dangerous Constellation Array.
This was created by combining the power of the five elements here with the star power of the constellation deity, Wei Yueyan.
The cultivators of this realm have no idea that the Star God of this realm activated this formation with his light, and if any cultivators were to press for an explanation later, he would be unable to provide one.
He essentially revealed that he was not from this world.
Why did he choose this time to expose himself?
Instead of rushing to kill the evil spirits and steal merit, Bitao stood at the edge of the formation, her gaze sweeping across everyone's faces, taking in their expressions.
The formation continued to expand, with Mingguang standing at its very center. Golden light emanated from beneath his feet, flowing outwards. It was as if a sun was about to rise from beneath the earth, and for a moment, half the forest was illuminated as bright as day.
Upon seeing the divine power of this formation, those demons should have scattered and fled. Although they had lost their humanity, they should at least have retained their instinctive fear of life and death.
After all, when the cultivators killed the tigers before, they would flee in groups.
But at this moment, seeing the golden light spreading, those demons continued to frantically tear at the people around them.
The civilians and monks scattered by the storm continued to be attacked in areas untouched by the golden light.
"Ahhh—Tiger Sage, I beg you, spare my life, spare my life!"
The middle-aged man who had been knocked unconscious by "Da Niu" had woken up and was fleeing for his life with the others.
Seeing the tiger, which was actually a ghost, chasing after him, he was so frightened that his legs went weak and he knelt down on the ground and began to kowtow to the tiger.
But the tiger certainly wouldn't let the man off the hook just because he was called "Tiger Immortal".
With its jaws wide open and a deafening roar, it spewed arrows of yin energy straight at the man's chest.
In the nick of time, the man was forced to unleash superhuman potential by extreme fear and dread of death—he grabbed wildly with incredible speed, pulling someone next to him to shield him.
With a soft "whoosh," the arrow of yin energy was too weak for a single person's frail body to stop. It pierced through the man's slender figure as he frantically pulled at himself, passing through him like a string of candied hawthorns.
He opened his eyes wide in bewilderment, on the eve of death, his eyes filled with incomprehension.
Why...why did he still die even after all that?
"Xiu Niang——"
A roar more heart-wrenching than a tiger's howl pierced through the entire jungle.
The middle-aged man who was afraid of death pulled the woman who was six months pregnant, who was next to "Da Niu," before he died.
The woman stumbled as she was pulled over, but she was standing. As a result, the arrow of yin energy pierced a large hole in her abdomen, but unlike the middle-aged man who knelt and begged for survival, she was not pierced through the heart.
She collapsed to the ground, looking bewildered. She didn't feel any pain, only a chill.
A chill that seeps into your bones.
When "Da Niu" rushed to the woman's side, the tiger that the demon had transformed into had already opened its bloody maw and was biting at the head of the woman, who looked bewildered but, unusually, did not cry out for help.
Da Niu grabbed the woman's head and used his body to block the tiger's gaping maw, but was bitten in the back.
He made an "uh" sound.
Just then, the golden light of the formation finally spread across the ground beneath their feet, and the tiger that the changui had transformed into, which had already bitten the ox, vanished into thin air in an instant.
The "Big Ox" tilted its head back, its eyes filled with pain and fear, reflecting the still-spreading golden light.
The flowing golden light pierced through the darkness, instantly breaking through ignorance and chaos, and the memories of the immortals poured into his eyes like a rainbow.
The thunder pattern incantation seal that Yun Chuan had used to seal away the past collapsed silently.
He was still holding the woman tightly. The woman spoke in his arms, her voice losing its usual sharp and exaggerated quality, becoming very weak and fearful.
"Big...big cow."
Yun Chuan lowered his head, suppressing the myriad emotions in his eyes.
His back was bleeding profusely, but he did not look down at the woman's bloodshot eyes.
"Xiu Niang..."
"Da Niu...please help me take a look, my child, our child..." The woman's voice was choked and trembling by the end.
Yun Chuan covered the woman's empty belly with his large hand, and supported her soft, drooping nape with his other hand, then smiled and looked down.
This smile was like a gentle spring breeze or a light drizzle, so tender it was heartbreaking, but it was definitely not the kind of smile a country bumpkin would have.
"It's alright, Xiu Niang, the child is fine."
"You're alright too."
Yun Chuan's strange accent disappeared, and he spoke clearly and firmly: "We'll go home soon, and then we'll get married."
"Xiuniang, I will be a good father."
The woman smiled, but along with the smile came tears welling up in her eyes.
She said in a low voice, "Are you stupid... the child isn't yours at all..."
"Do you... like me or not?"
If you like me, why won't you get close to me, marry me, and have children with me?
If you don't like me, why have you been taking care of me all this time and even been willing to be the father of my child?
But she couldn't say the rest.
She just stared intently at her "Big Brother Niu," refusing to close her eyes.
What a handsome young man... He lives next door to her, is hardworking, earns money, is healthy, and has excellent character.
Unfortunately, he refused to have children with her and start a family.
Shouldn't a woman's life consist of getting married, having children, and then supporting her husband and raising them?
Throughout the entire process, Xiu Niang did not dare to touch her belly.
But she wasn't cold anymore; his palm covered her, and she wasn't cold anymore. Xiu Niang felt a little regretful.
But she didn't know what she should regret, and soon she couldn't see anything clearly anymore.
Yun Chuan lowered his head and buried it in Xiu Niang's soft, limp neck.
He was a celestial being in the heavens, possessing exceptional talent and innate knowledge. From a very young age, he became a key figure in the training of the Nine Heavens Military Department.
His swordsmanship was superb, capable of turning the world upside down, yet he could never save the people he cared about.
Yun Chuan initially suppressed his emotions, but soon he couldn't care less about anything else and burst into tears.
The man's voice was muffled and suppressed, not shrill, but because it was filled with such deep pain, it struck people's hearts like the tolling of a bell.
"Yun Chuan".
After the evil spirits were eliminated, Mingguang walked to Yunchuan's side and touched his shoulder from behind.
Yun Chuan turned to look at him, his eyes blazing with bloodlust and boundless rage.
“You did it on purpose,” he asserted immediately.
"You refused to activate the formation sooner, causing my Xiu Niang's death!" It was all so that he could regain his memories on the verge of death and be used by him!
Mingguang had just forcibly activated the formation to connect with the power of the stars in this area. As the core of the formation, he had exhausted his spiritual energy, and his face was now deathly pale.
Accused by Yun Chuan, he pursed his lips and his expression turned somber.
Yun Chuanxiu's gentle and refined face twisted in anger: "Get out of my way—"
Although Yun Chuan was always compared to Ming Guang as Ming Guang's servant, he always respected Ming Guang with utmost respect and loyalty.
But he felt that Mingguang could clearly activate the array faster; he could clearly...
"Yun Chuan, are you crazy?" Bing Lun stepped forward, blocking Ming Guang's side. "Ming Guang also forced the formation to activate..."
"You get out of here too!"
Binglun was forced to take a step back by the shout.
Another immortal stepped forward to defend Mingguang: "...You've gone mad. Are you going to break ties with us for the sake of a mortal?"
"For the sake of a mortal," Yun Chuan sneered, turning to glare at Ming Guang and the others, "What a fine excuse, 'for the sake of a mortal'!"
"You arrogant and aloof immortals, I am truly unworthy to walk the same path as you!"
Everyone was at a loss for what to do because of Yun Chuan's crazy behavior.
He clearly wouldn't listen to anything.
Mingguang also needed to rest as soon as possible, and everyone helped him sit cross-legged and meditate to recover his spiritual energy.
Yun Chuan held Xiu Niang tightly, feeling her body gradually grow colder, as if he were falling into a nightmare once again.
His mind was filled with demons, and the blood in his hand, which was pressing against Xiu Niang's empty belly, was sticky, just like before.
The other cultivators were busy organizing the group, while the mortals, seeing his terrifying appearance, assumed he was possessed by a ghost and dared not approach him.
Bitao watched the whole thing from a short distance away, her heart heavy with sorrow.
She looked at Mingguang, and their eyes met in mid-air.
Seeing that his eyes were also bloodshot, and beneath his crimson golden eyes, there was an unspeakable surge of emotions.
Mingguang quickly closed his eyes, sat upright among the crowd, and meditated to recuperate.
He is not Wei Danxin; he is unwilling to reveal his emotions to anyone. He never allows himself to be vulnerable or wronged.
Bitao walked towards Yunchuan.
Midway, Zhan Kui pulled Bi Tao aside and whispered, "What are you going to do? He broke the Thunder Pattern Curse Seal, but he lost his wife and children, and even Ming Guang cursed him. He's probably suffering from demonic possession because of the 'Separation from Love' tribulation."
Bitao patted Zhan Kui on the shoulder: "Go and ask Meteor for a Soul-Binding Bag."
Then they headed towards Yunchuan.
Of everyone present, only Bitao and Mingguang knew the reason behind Yun Chuan's madness.
That day at Tiger Mountain, when Bitao first saw the pregnant woman, she nestled intimately beside Yunchuan. Bitao knew then that this must be the "calamity" arranged for him by Heaven.
It was the most difficult thing for him to overcome in his life: separation from loved ones and unrequited love.
This has nothing to do with romantic love, but rather because this woman... looks exactly like Yun Chuan's deceased birth mother, Fairy Qing Si.
Bitao also saw Yunchuan's birth mother, Qingsi, in Mingguang's official documents and the records of immortal positions in the celestial realm.
The Fairy of Light Silk was born in Penglai. She was born from fine rain and was gentle and beautiful.
Yun Chuan's appearance is mostly inherited from his mother.
However, Yun Chuan's abilities and talents were inherited from his father, Bei Chen.
His father was the successor of Zhenwu Lingying Gusheng Zhenjun, and held a prominent position in the Ministry of War. Through a public service assignment in the mortal realm, he met Qingsi Fairy, who was then a guardian celestial master who helped summon clouds and rain.
They did encounter some obstacles from Zhenjun, who said they were not suitable.
However, since the two were in love and determined to be together, Zhenwu Lingying Gusheng Zhenjun did not stop them.
They were originally a perfect couple.
Unfortunately, when Fairy Qingsi was pregnant with Yunchuan, her own aptitude was too poor, while Beichen's aptitude was too good. Their son, Yunchuan, inherited his father's traits. During the pregnancy, the child excessively absorbed Fairy Qingsi's spiritual energy, causing Fairy Qingsi's immortal rank to regress again and again.
So much so that she had to resign from her public office and focus on her pregnancy after only ten years of pregnancy.
For a fairy to conceive the bloodline of the ancient immortal race, the pregnancy alone takes ninety years, a hundred times longer than for a mortal.
Bei Chen originally suggested that Qing Si Xian Ji have an abortion and recuperate, but the two of them loved each other deeply and had never had any unpleasantness in their many years of marriage. How could they bear to really abort the child they were so eagerly anticipating?
So Fairy Qingsi consumed all kinds of tonics, prayed to the gods of the nine heavens, and even went to the mortal realm to kowtow on three thousand long steps, begging the Southern Heavenly Venerable to save her life.
Finally, moved by the heavens' blessing, Yun Chuan was born.
She personally took care of her and doted on her immensely, making her arguably the gentlest fairy in the entire Nine Heavens.
However, if one's immortal spirit and even some of one's immortal essence are drained during pregnancy, no amount of tonics can save her, and she will eventually perish.
She fell right in front of Yun Chuan. At that time, Fairy Qing Si and the very mischievous and spoiled Yun Chuan climbed the high platform and coaxed him to practice the Flying Back Spear Style.
At that time, Fairy Qing Si's health was deteriorating. She wanted to do everything she could to be with her child, but she accidentally fell from the high platform due to dizziness.
Her cause of death was not a fall. She was, after all, a celestial being. Even if she had nowhere else to retreat, she couldn't possibly die from a fall.
She died when her life force was exhausted.
Unfortunately, when he fell from the platform, he injured the back of his head, bleeding profusely, which nearly drove the then young Yun Chuan crazy.
Yun Chuan lost his spear at that time, and his small hands covered the back of his mother's head, but he could not stop her life and body temperature from flowing away in his palms, leaving a deep shadow.
Even after that, he gave up learning to use guns and switched to using knives.
When Beichen Xianwei learned of the news, he rushed back and found his beloved wife had perished. Overwhelmed with grief, he disregarded his young son's fear and despair and offered sacrifices to the sundial that very night.
Yun Chuan lost both parents overnight, and also grew up overnight.
The ancient immortals were born with knowledge, and he was unwilling to grow up, being unruly and willful, precisely because his parents loved him.
He knew that his mother's health had deteriorated because of him, that she had died because of him, and that his father refused to live on because of his mother's death.
Bearing the weight of two lives lost in a family of three, he imitated his mother's gentle ways and worked tirelessly day and night to inherit his father's extraordinary abilities, all so as not to let down his parents who had given him their lives.
Originally, time had passed and he was no longer dwelling on the sorrows of the past. However, during this competition in the mortal realm, Heaven had paired him with a woman who looked remarkably like his mother.
They are equally gentle and delicate, and equally devoted to their children.
Although Bitao was unaware that Yunchuan and this woman had never had any romantic feelings for each other, and that their relationship was always kept within the bounds of propriety, the woman still misunderstood him as a castrated man and that the child was not his.
But Bitao knew that once Yunchuan saw this woman, even without his memories, he would surely fall deeply in love with her and find it difficult to extricate himself.
"Yun Chuan." Bi Tao walked to Yun Chuan's side, squatted down, and looked him in the eye.
Yun Chuan turned to look at Bi Tao, his eyes filled with the same hatred he felt when he looked at Ming Guang and Bing Lun.
He now hates everyone in the world.
Even yourself.
He hated himself for being useless, for never being able to keep the people he cared about.
Why did his mother insist on giving birth to him? Why wasn't it him who died?
With just a few words, Bitao convinced him to release the corpse and follow her.
Bitao did not advise him to accept the situation and move on.
Instead, he said in a gentle tone: "Life has been cut off here, and the bridge of reincarnation has collapsed. If you want a dead soul to be reincarnated, you need to capture the whole soul before you can send it into the cycle of reincarnation."
"She died of fright, and her soul left her body instantly, so it's easy for it to dissipate. Meteor has a soul-binding bag; let's go get one and capture her. When we return to the Heart-Questioning Pavilion, we can have Meteor help us send her into reincarnation."
"It's better than you holding onto her body here, leaving her all alone, her soul scattered in these mountains."
“Yun Chuan, we are both immortals. You should know that one person’s death is not the end.”
Bitao placed her hand on his trembling shoulder and said with a double meaning, "Heaven is merciful and life goes on. All things are subject to reincarnation, and even ants and mayflies are included in it."
"Death is merely the beginning of the next encounter."
Yun Chuan's tears were still falling, but his expression froze as he stared blankly at Bi Tao. After a moment, the chaos and demonic illusion in his eyes completely dissipated.
My eyes regained their clarity and brightness.
He released the half-cold body and forced himself to get up.
However, due to the severity of his back injury, he staggered.
Bitao grabbed his arm and pulled him up.
At this time, Zhan Kui also asked Liu Xing for the Soul-Binding Bag and brought it back.
Bitao directed a few people in her team to capture the soul of Xiu Niang, which had been startled and flown away from her body.
Along the way, Yun Chuan might have been unsteady on his feet, or perhaps... he desperately needed support.
He held Bitao's hand tightly the whole time.
As the two walked hand in hand past Mingguang, who was meditating, Binglun turned her head away, not daring to look at Bitao, but her expression was extremely strange.
When Mingguang opened his eyes and looked at Bitao, the luster of his golden pupils dimmed.
After a moment, he closed his eyes again, but was unable to enter a meditative state for a long time, and just sat there listlessly.
