Lotus rain, lotus rain, truly lotus rain.
The lotus flowers, the size of an adult man's fist, resemble and taste like real lotus flowers, and the increasingly lifelike lotus rain slowly falls from the sky.
The more beautiful something is, the more vicious it may be. The deafening explosion still echoes in my ears, and the wrecked courtyard is still vivid in my mind.
Scene after scene, frame after frame, it all feels like yesterday.
"Lotus, it's been a long time." A white lotus flower, stepping on lotus blossoms, quietly descended from the sky.
Seeing the white lotus appear silently, Ji Xiaoxin felt a chill of fear and instantly retreated to a safe distance. "Are you still following her?"
Gu Lianxin returned to the Demon Heart Sect with the white lotus flower, and the two disappeared without a trace. Two years ago, the Demon Heart Sect made a powerful comeback, and when Gu Lianxin reappeared, she had become the next successor to the Demon Lord of the Demon Heart Sect.
Rumors circulated in the martial arts world that Gu Lianxin was obsessed with beautiful women and handsome men. She not only kept hundreds of gigolos, but also imprisoned renowned young heroes. Her reputation for ruthlessly destroying women and forcibly abducting handsome men spread throughout the martial arts world, and any young men or women who were even slightly good-looking were so frightened that they wished they could harm themselves.
Thanks to Ah Lian's talkative nature, she not only confessed all her minor transgressions but also went on and on about the rumors surrounding the Demon Heart Sect.
Whether the matter is true or false, Ji Xiaoxiao, who has been in seclusion for three years, has not yet had time to verify it. However, there is no smoke without fire, and grass does not grow without roots. Judging from Gu Lianxin's alluring yet unfulfilled appearance, the truth is probably 80-90% accurate as A-Lian said.
Although Ji Xiaoxiao didn't know Bai Hehua inside and out, she was aware of his character to some extent. A seemingly perfect man, exceptionally handsome and skilled in martial arts with a promising future, Bai Hehua, raised under the strict discipline of the Tianshan Lotus Holy Sect, was picky about people, indifferent to matters, and had numerous rules governing his life, with his eating, dressing, and living arrangements reaching an almost insane level. Bai Hehua had fallen in love with Gu Lianxin, but he couldn't change his personality overnight, so he absolutely couldn't tolerate Gu Lianxin's improper interactions with other men.
Two years ago, when news broke that Gu Lianxin had ruthlessly abducted a handsome man, Ji Xiaoxiao wondered why Bai Hehua wasn't mentioned. Ji Xiaoxiao guessed that either Bai Hehua couldn't stand Gu Lianxin's lustful and fickle nature and broke off all contact with her, or Gu Lianxin had turned her back on her and killed or imprisoned Bai Hehua. Now that Bai Hehua was standing alive and well in front of Ji Xiaoxiao, Ji Xiaoxiao was somewhat bewildered.
"Can love really disregard everything? Abandon dignity, abandon principles, abandon oneself?" Please forgive Ji Xiaoxiao's little complaint, still retaining the essence of first love.
"I never follow Gu Lianxin." The white lotus flower, standing steadily on the ground, said her lover's name as if reciting it verbatim.
When Gu Lianxin saw Bai Hehua, she was as if she had seen a ghost. "Bai Hehua, how did you get here? Impossible, impossible, absolutely impossible."
Upon hearing the sound, Bai Hehua turned her head, looking at Gu Lianxin with seemingly lifeless eyes. After a pause, she slowly walked towards Gu Lianxin, step by step.
The lotus rain from the sky stopped sometime ago, and the lotus flowers that fell to the ground did not explode. Like the wind passing without a trace and the rain passing without a word, the shock came and went quietly.
Bai Hehua squatted down, her proud head slightly lowered, her eyes, devoid of desire, reflecting Gu Lianxin's figure in their darkness. "I told you, you will never escape my grasp. So what if you don't kill me, cripple my martial arts, or ruin my appearance? You'll still end up in my hands."
"That's all your fault, don't blame me. I just wanted someone to keep me company, who told you to kill them all and make me angry? I advise you to let me go now, or you'll be sorry." Gu Lianxin was sweating profusely, and her harsh words trembled as she spoke.
"I won't let go, how could I let go? Now I only have you left." Bai Hehua pulled Gu Lianxin into her arms, gently stroking the back of Gu Lianxin's head.
Despite her severe facial paralysis, Ji Xiaoxiao's mouth was wide open.
The amount of information came too quickly and in too much way; her brain had limited capacity and couldn't process it all, so Ji Xiaoxiao crashed.
Bai Hehua picked up Gu Lianxin and turned to leave when Ji Xiaoxiao spoke up, "Wait, I captured Gu Lianxin, so she should be mine. You took away my hard-earned prey without even asking, Bai Hehua, you're becoming more and more rude."
Bai Hehua stopped, and only after Gu Lianxin, whom she was carrying, was carelessly abandoned on the road did she say indifferently, "What do you intend to do?"
"I have no objection to you taking Gu Lianxin's body away." Ji Xiaoxiao took a step forward, ready to intercept Bai Hehua's escape at any moment.
"Keep her alive, and name your other conditions." Bai Hehua clearly didn't want Gu Lianxin to die.
"What are you going to do? Release me now! I am the next Demon Lord of the Demon Heart Sect. If I die, the Demon Heart Sect will never let you go!" The two people in front of her would decide her fate in a few words. Gu Lianxin screamed desperately, fear rising in her heart, making her tremble with terror.
Ji Xiaoxiao refused to listen. The original owner's wish was to protect the Heavenly Lotus Holy Sect, and Gu Lianxin was a key force in destroying the Holy Sect. To spare Gu Lianxin's life would be tantamount to releasing a tiger back into the mountains. Ji Xiaoxiao absolutely refused to agree. "No, Gu Lianxin must die."
Bai Hehua saw Ji Xiaoxiao's determination and frowned, saying somewhat irritably, "Is this alright then?"
After saying this, Bai Hehua crippled Gu Lianxin's martial arts. Ji Xiaoxiao shook her head, indicating it wouldn't do. Bai Hehua didn't waste any more words; after crippling Gu Lianxin's martial arts, she silently broke Gu Lianxin's limbs. Then, she reached out and blinded Gu Lianxin with snow water. Only when Gu Lianxin was unable to speak, hear, see, move, or lift her hands or feet did Ji Xiaoxiao nod with a chill.
If she pushes her luck any further, Gu Lianxin will suffer the same fate as her, Ji Xiaoxiao thought to herself with certainty.
As Bai Hehua took Gu Lianxin away, Ji Xiaoxiao looked at the dying Gu Lianxin, whose limbs swayed like willow branches, and silently lit a candle for her. "Serves you right for not opening your eyes properly! Of all people to choose, you had to pick a lunatic! Now look what you've done, suffering and tormenting! Do you know you were wrong?"
After seeing off the ill-fated couple, Bai Hehua and Gu Lianxin, Ji Xiaoxiao immediately summoned the Supreme Elders who were in seclusion for cultivation, and together with the strength of the entire sect, they annihilated the Demon Heart Sect, ensuring they had no chance of survival.
On that day, the maple leaves on the snow-capped mountains turned red.
After this battle, the reputation and status of the Tianshan Lotus Holy Sect flourished even more in the martial arts world. Even the emperor, high above in the imperial court, was uneasy. How could he tolerate someone snoring beside his bed? The emperor wanted to eliminate the Tianshan Lotus Holy Sect as soon as possible. But when the Immortal Lord appeared, all the problems were solved.
A hundred years later, Ji Xiaoxiao, still looking like an eighteen-year-old, leaned against a peach tree. Her weathered eyes gazed longingly at the handsome man beside her. Her cheeks were flushed, and she lowered her head shyly. She tugged at the man's clothes and said sweetly, "Don't go yet, okay? I have something to tell you."
