Chapter 48: Enchantment

Hua Qing looked at Cancan with cold eyes and said, "This time, I won’t let you escape."

Cancan shook her head and said, "No, I’m not Xian Yue, I’m Cancan! Even if my past life was Xian Yue, I don’t remember anything. I’m just Cancan now. Why do you keep bothering me? If you want Snowflake Glass, I’ll give it to you, I will." She cried and kept asking Mo Yuan how to give Snowflake Glass to him.

Mo Yuan held Cancan’s wrist, his face almost frozen, and said, "Do you really think these people are good? Have they never doubted your identity? They think that Xian Yue’s soul was scattered in the past and transformed into you and Yu Xiu. They are not really kind to you. Yu Xiu, have you ever thought why I had to kill people from the Qilian Mountains? You haven’t thought about it? And you, a fairy, why does Hua Qing treat you like this?"

Cancan couldn’t believe it. She angrily said, "Don’t try to turn us against each other. I… Ah!" A sword pierced Cancan’s shoulder, making her spit blood. She saw it was Hua Qing and couldn’t believe it. She shook with fear and said, "Are you… killing me?" A tear fell from her eye, and suddenly the Snowflake Glass on her shoulder seemed to shatter, emitting a bright light. When the light faded, Hua Qing was shocked to see Cancan and Mo Yuan were no longer there.

Hua Yun was furious and said, "Senior Brother, why did you release the Demon Lord and Xian Yue?"

"Hua Yun, how could you say that? And why did you do this? Holding Cancan and Yu Xiu captive, how is it different from the Demon Realm?" Uncle Mu Bai scolded him.

Hua Yun knelt down, admitting, "I was wrong. I was too anxious to get the Snowflake Glass. If the Snowflake Glass was with Mo Yuan, it would have caused big problems."

Uncle Mu Bai sighed, while Hua Qing frowned and said, "Hua Yun, don’t you think you’ve been acting strange lately?" He paused and continued, "It seems like ever since you met Cancan, everything changed." Unexpectedly, Hua Yun attacked Hua Qing and sealed his power, leaving him on the ground. Mu Bai and Yu Xiu were shocked. Hua Yun then threw an object at Mu Bai, who found himself unable to use magic.

Despite this, he pushed Yu Xiu away, saying, "You need to leave now."

Yu Xiu didn’t want to fight, instead she pushed Mu Bai and said, "You go quickly." Then she took up her sword and fought with Hua Yun. Mu Bai knew that if they kept fighting, no one would be able to escape. So he used all his strength and jumped into a pond.

Yu Xiu was no match for Hua Yun. Even when he held back, he quickly defeated Yu Xiu. Hua Yun stopped Yu Xiu, leaned close to her ear, and softly said, "Yu Xiu, do you know that I like you?"

Yu Xiu felt cold all over. She looked at Hua Yun with disgust and said calmly, "I never believed that someone who kidnapped me to exchange for Snowflake Glass really liked me."

Hua Yun’s hand moved to Yu Xiu’s waist, his eyes filled with poison. He slapped Yu Xiu across the face, knocking her to the ground. She stared at Hua Yun in disbelief. Hua Yun looked down at Yu Xiu and coldly said, "Don’t think I don’t know that you like Hua Qing."

Hua Yun’s face twisted in anger, almost hysterical. "You like Hua Qing, and just now you flirted with Mo Yuan. Did you think I didn’t see that? Do you think I’m a fool? You despicable woman."

Though Hua Yun was usually a bit extreme, he had never been like this before. Yu Xiu had never seen such a terrifying Hua Yun, and she didn’t know what to do.

"What are you looking at? Let me tell you, if you don’t obey, I’ll send you down to be with those ghosts in Mount Qilian." Hua Yun’s face was grim.

Suddenly, Yu Xiu remembered Mo Yuan’s words, he said he had no reason to do such a thing. Now, listening to Hua Yun, something seemed about to come out. Trembling, she asked, "Was it you? Did you do it?"

Hua Yun smirked sinisterly, then he grabbed Yu Xiu’s chin and stared at her face. "What did I do? It was all Mo Yuan, all Mo Yuan’s doing. Don’t you remember? Your favorite Hua Qing said this is a trick of the Demon Realm. How can you change your mind so easily because of a few words from Mo Yuan? Yu Xiu, how am I supposed to deal with you? A person can’t keep changing, don’t you know that?" He then slapped her again, leaving Yu Xiu dizzy and furious, staring at Hua Yun without begging for mercy.

Hua Yun smirked, raised his hands together and chanted a spell, causing Hua Qing’s body to float in the air. Just as things were hanging in the balance, a beam of white light shot towards them. Hua Yun realized things were going south, but before he could react further, Yu Xiu had vanished. He felt immediate anger, but realizing Hua Qing was more important, he lowered his voice and continued chanting the spell quietly.

Watching Hua Yun not leaving, Mu Bai, who was hiding in the shadows, knew things were not looking good. He grabbed Yu Xiu and quickly left. The two ran for their lives, not daring to look back towards Shu Mountain.

Gasping for breath, Yu Xiu asked, "Why aren’t we going back to Shu Mountain? If we go back and work together, we can surely capture Hua Yun."

Mu Bai shook his head, furrowing his brows as he said, "I went ahead just now and found everyone trapped by barriers. It seems Hua Yun is playing tricks. Going back would be like walking into a trap." Dodging left and right with Yu Xiu, they finally escaped to the foot of the mountain. Mu Bai’s powers had not fully recovered yet, so he could only rely on his strength. Unable to use his sword skills, he and Yu Xiu found refuge in a small cave to rest against the wall.

Luckily, Yu Xiu was quick-witted and escaped at the critical moment. Mu Bai noticed her disheveled hair, pale face, and comforted her, saying, "Don’t worry. Even though we are at a disadvantage without our powers, there will be a way. Plus, without our powers, it will be difficult for Hua Yun to trace us through magic."

Clenching her lips, Yu Xiu said coldly, "He’s such a villain." The more she thought about what happened earlier, the more it didn’t make sense. Pausing for a moment, she hesitated before saying, "Was it Hua Yun who caused the incident at Qilian Mountain?" After speaking, she quickly denied it, saying, "No, at that time, Hua Yun was with us. He didn’t have time to do those things. I…" Suddenly, Yu Xiu remembered something, stood up abruptly, and said earnestly, "He had a colorful crystal of Snowflake Glass on him at that time. Why did he have that? Could it be related to this matter?"

The more Yu Xiu thought about it, the more she believed it was possible. The Snowflake Glass, a sacred item from the Demon Realm, if it had always been with Hua Yun, it would naturally affect him. She looked at Martial Uncle Mu Bai and asked, "Martial Uncle, what do you think about this matter?"

Mu Bai shook his head, "No matter what, it’s not looking good. Right now, I can only speculate that out of the seven pieces of Snowflake Glass, one piece was actually on Hua Yun, which caused his abnormal behavior. Although this piece of Snowflake Glass was found and taken by Hua Qing, if it had been with him from the beginning, for five hundred years, it would have changed Hua Yun. Although it changed Hua Yun, it seems to have not directly triggered his transformation. This transformation must have been sparked by something."

Although he didn’t know what that something was, Mu Bai had a bad feeling, as things were already developing towards the worst outcome.

Hua Qing was controlled by Hua Yun; he had no power to resist. In addition, Big Green and Mo Yuan were the same person, they combined, making the power of Demon Realm even stronger. Even though Hua Qing stabbed Mo Yuan at that time, Mo Yuan had Cancan on his side, she was Xian Yue’s reincarnation. At the same time, she possessed the holy item of Demon Realm, Snowflake Glass. Now, it seemed to be the most unpredictable situation.

"Thinking too much now is of no use. The priority is to find Cancan. Only with her help, we can save Hua Qing. Only with Hua Qing safe, everything can be handled properly. Otherwise, things may go bad. We can all see that Hua Yun has lost control. Hua Yun losing control and the Demon Realm becoming strong are very bad signs." Although Cancan is Xian Yue’s reincarnation, Martial Uncle Mu Bai still believes in Cancan. He thinks Cancan is right. Since she is reincarnated, everything from the past life is gone. She is just Hu Cancan, a little fox that adores and admires Hua Qing.

Yu Xiu nodded. But soon, a look of worry appeared on her face. She hesitated and said, "I do believe in Cancan, but…Hua Qing wanted to kill Cancan. He stabbed her."

Mu Bai frowned at the thought.
