Chapter 46: Untitled

Next to the clear stream, Hua Qing sat alone, silent. The clear water surface was like a huge mirror, but it did not reflect Hua Qing. Instead, it showed Cancan’s room.

Watching Big Green and Cancan chatting before leaving, Hua Qing remained unchanged, his finger gently touching the water surface, causing the scene in the water to change instantly. The water rippled, showing Big Green saying goodbye to Cancan and returning to the room instead of going elsewhere.

Mu Bai came up behind Hua Qing at some point and asked, "Is there anything unusual?"

Hua Qing shook his head, "Nothing."

There was no anomaly, but still something strange, indescribably odd.

Mu Bai looked at the lake, the water rippling. He said, "Looking at him like this, he doesn’t seem like a spy, but more like a timid person. It makes sense, really. A monster must prioritize protecting their own life. It’s the right thing to do. In all my years traveling around, I’ve seen a lot. Some people focus only on self-preservation, but you can’t necessarily say they’re wrong."

Although Mu Bai appeared stubborn, he was actually the most understanding of others. Hua Qing naturally understood this, and as he looked up, he saw the setting sun’s warm glow reflecting on the water, creating ripples. Big Green’s face twisted slightly, becoming blurry.

Hua Qing quietly gazed at the lake, when suddenly, Big Green looked up and directly at him. Their eyes met, and Big Green showed a strange smile.

A sudden noise shocked both Hua Qing and Mu Bai. Hua Qing put his hand in the water, causing it to splash loudly. The water in the pool sprayed up suddenly, reaching tens of yards high.

Hua Qing jumped into the deep pool where he couldn’t see the bottom. He found himself in dark water, sinking quickly. Suddenly, a huge monster fish appeared in the pool with three eyes and sharp teeth, looking like it could swallow a person in one bite. It moved swiftly towards Hua Qing, ready to attack!

Swiftly, Hua Qing defeated the monster fish with just a few strikes of his sword.

The dark pool water spun around, and Hua Qing disappeared. When he reappeared, he was in a strange frozen land, facing a man among the ice and snow. It was no other than Mo Yuan.

Hua Qing, dry and not wet from crossing the water, calmly said to the man before him, "Mo Yuan, long time no see."

Mo Yuan laughed loudly and said, "Hua Qing, why pretend like this? We just met earlier. Do you doubt me?"

Mo Yuan, dressed in black, with his hair messy, laughed wildly without caring about manners.

Hua Qing raised an eyebrow, frost in his gaze, and said, "Big Green, alive or dead."

Ignoring Hua Qing’s words, Mo Yuan swiftly moved to grab Hua Qing’s neck. Hua Qing leaped into the air, flames bursting from his hands. Mo Yuan dodged and conjured countless ice spikes flying towards Hua Qing.

Countless ice spikes scattered everywhere, Hua Qing chanted a spell, and the ice spikes melted instantly. He had a serious expression, coldly chuckled and said, "Is that all you’ve got?"

Mo Yuan hated, "You’ll see if I am like that soon, Hua Qing. I’ll kill you, Snowflake Glass and Xian Yue are mine."

He raised his hands, and suddenly the icy land turned into a valley of flames, with raging fires burning. The Demon Lord’s face showed a hint of bloodthirstiness, he seemed to be burning along with the fire, saying, "Come…"

……………………………………………

"Ah…" Cancan screamed as she sat up, she touched herself and realized she was lying safely in Hua Qing’s cage. She patted herself with her paws, comforting herself, "Don’t be afraid!"

Somehow, she had just had a particularly terrifying nightmare, in the nightmare, she was sometimes in a snowy landscape, sometimes in a raging fire. It was especially, especially scary, and there seemed to be something pulling her, leading her to the end of the fire.

Just at that moment, she felt her heart ache in waves, unable to shake it off, as if someone was squeezing and kneading her heart. She curled up into a ball, whimpering softly, looking very pitiful.

"Little fox, what’s wrong with you?" Hua Yun appeared at the door, looking quietly at Cancan, with a touch of inquiry though not concern.

Cancan shook her head, then changed her mind, thinking she should let him set her free. So she pitifully said, "I feel really bad."

Hua Yun looked at Cancan suspiciously, as if trying to figure out if Cancan was lying. Cancan tried to show Hua Yun her sweat, but when she wiped it, her hand was covered in fur. She realized she had turned back into her true form! And…she wasn’t lying, she was really in pain. She whimpered, leaning against the railing, and softly cried, "I’m really hurting, Hua Yun, please let me out? I, I don’t know what’s happening to me."

She felt the piercing pain hadn’t lessened at all, and she didn’t know why, she just felt like her whole self…no, her whole fox self was not good at all!

With a pout, she pleaded, "I don’t know why, I’m in so much pain like I’m about to die. Please don’t think I’m lying, what I’m saying is all true."

Hua Yun’s face changed slightly, he observed Cancan, then he stretched out two fingers and chanted a spell. Seeing Cancan still in great discomfort, he touched the railing with his fingers, causing the shiny railing to disappear. Cancan was still suffering, her small face filled with misery as she said, "It hurts so much."

Hua Yun pointed at Cancan and chanted a spell, and in an instant, she spat out a mouthful of blood.

Cancan quickly dodged and said with a pout, "You’re so unhygienic."

Hua Yun was angry, "How dare you say that? The place you live in is like a dog’s den, isn’t it?"

Cancan scratched her head, thinking Hua Yun was trying to help her, she timidly moved closer to him and touched his front paw, "Am I going to die?"

Hua Yun smirked, "You’re not going to die, I am."

Cancan, "Silly?"

Looking at her silly fox-like face, Hua Yun got even more angry, "I can’t believe how foolish you are, growing up thanks to our Shu Mountain’s beauty. If not for that… Oh, wait!"

Hua Yun was stunned for a moment, then he said, "It was Senior Brother who set up the barrier for you."

Cancan nodded, feeling very wronged, "Yes, it was him. He wants to go and defeat the Demon Lord, but he won’t let me go. Ah! I need to find him, I can’t let him go alone risking it. The Demon Lord is immortal, if I don’t help, what if something happens to him?"

Cancan was so anxious that she didn’t know where to find Hua Qing. After some random thoughts, she dashed out, not caring about her own pain.

Before she could even run far, she was pulled back, looking at Hua Yun holding her tail, she growled, "Don’t stop me from saving Hua Qing!"

Hua Yun said seriously, "I’ll take you to find Senior Brother." He furrowed his brows, "If you feel uncomfortable with the barrier, it must be difficult to handle on Senior Brother’s side. I’ll take you with me. Having one more person helping is always better at this time."

Cancan nodded quickly, following Hua Yun to the back mountain. However, they seemed not to notice Yu Xiu standing not far away in the hallway, biting her lip and tightly gripping the sword in her hand, following them.

Hua Yun brought Cancan to the back mountain, where Martial Uncle Mu Bai sat quietly next to the glistening pool of water, not moving at all.

When he saw the two of them coming, he said, "Go back!"

Cancan refused, "No, I want to go help Hua Qing. And, a good man has three helpers, if we all go to help, we can definitely beat the Demon Lord. You shouldn’t just sit here, come with us, let’s fight him together." Cancan was filled with righteous indignation.

Mu Bai looked at Hua Yun and said, "She doesn’t understand, do you not understand either? Don’t come here to cause trouble, go quickly, Hua Qing doesn’t need your help."

At this moment, Hua Yun was different from before, very anxious. He took a step forward and quickly said, "Martial Uncle, I understand your meaning. It’s just that Cancan couldn’t bear to see what happened earlier. Cancan’s residence is like a prison drawn by Senior Brother, if it wasn’t for Senior Brother’s incident, I can’t think of any other reason."

With these words, Mu Bai hesitated for a moment, and in that moment, Hua Yun suddenly made a quick move. Mu Bai was caught off guard and couldn’t move. He looked incredulously at Hua Yun, who had a cold look on his face, and said slowly, "Martial Uncle, I must take Cancan to find the Demon Lord." He paused for a moment, then coldly laughed, "I believe Demon Lord won’t lose out on a deal exchanging Xian Yue for Snowflake Glass." Then, he shook the sword in his hand towards Yu Xiu, who was not far behind, and Hua Yun grabbed Cancan with one hand and Yu Xiu with the other, saying seriously, "Martial Uncle, no matter who of them is Xian Yue, this will be the end. Since you can’t do such things, let me do it!"

After that, holding the two of them, they jumped directly into the icy pool. Cancan suddenly felt dizzy, scolding, "You little rascal, cruel ghost, you should have warned me a bit, are you trying to drown people?!"

Hua Yun’s voice came faintly, carrying an unspeakable chill, he said slowly, "If you want to die now, I will grant your wish."

No matter how angry Hua Yun used to be, Cancan never felt there was any danger. But at this moment, she found it hard to control the chill in her heart.

It seemed that if she said one more word, he would really dare to kill. Although she didn’t know why, Cancan had this feeling, not even the slightest bit different…
