Chapter 59: Turn for the Better

Cancan decided to leave Shu Mountain with Hua Qing, but before that, she said goodbye to Big Green and Yu Xiu. Both of them looked a bit worried. Even though Hua Qing announced their engagement, both Big Green and Yu Xiu were still concerned and couldn’t relax.

Especially Big Green, who saw Cancan saying goodbye with a happy face, was worried. "Are you leaving with Hua Qing?" he asked. Then he thought for a moment and asked, "Is someone bullying you, making you want to leave?" Big Green understood the thoughts of the people at Shu Mountain, and he knew that they were not just worried about Cancan, but about anyone. It was not right to speak ill of the Shu Mountain Sect Master’s marriage.

Even though Cancan was believed to be the reincarnation of Xian Yue, they were ultimately not the same person. She was just a little fox, born and raised at Shu Mountain.

Cancan quickly shook her head and said, "No, nobody is bullying me. It’s just that Hua Qing is always protective of me, leading to some conflicts with others. I remember what you said before, ‘If you can’t fight, just run away.’ So, I think it’s better to leave for a while to cool off. When we come back in a few days, everyone will have forgotten the unpleasant things, and everything will be fine. Don’t you think my idea is great?"

Cancan felt very happy, thinking to herself what a clever little fox she was.

Big Green lowered his head slightly, looking a bit lonely. Then he raised his head and said, "Your idea is very good."

Cancan joyfully laughed, "I told you! I’m so smart, how could I not come up with a good idea?"

Big Green didn’t say anything, but Yu Xiu spoke up, "Cancan, what will you do in the future?"

Cancan was a bit confused about what Yu Xiu meant. She repeated Yu Xiu’s words and asked, "What do you mean what to do?" With her fists clenched on her cheeks, she looked puzzled.

Yu Xiu saw Cancan looking unsure, so Big Green hurried to say, "Yu Xiu, don’t worry too much about whether the people on Shu Mountain like you or not."

Cancan smiled sweetly, "Don’t worry, as time goes on, everyone will see that I am a good person, there are good fairies in this world, and I am one of them."

Glancing at Big Green, she said, "Brother Wolf is also a good fairy." Suddenly, Cancan thought of Mo Yuan, who would never appear again, sealed forever in Green Jade Sword. Mo Yuan was a demon, Big Green was a fairy. Brother Big Green was just a strand of Mo Yuan’s soul, yet he was also himself.

Demon Realm… Demon Realm… Cancan frowned and said, "I feel like I forgot something very important, but I can’t remember it. Do you think I’m getting old? I feel so forgetful!"

Big Green gave her a look and said, "You carefree little fox, there’s nothing important to worry about. Just go out and have fun, then come back to get married. Don’t overthink things." After a pause, Big Green said, "Once you get married, I plan to leave. Shu Mountain is not my home, I prefer our original wolf den at the mountain stream."

Cancan nodded, "Alright, I’ll come find you to play." She held Yu Xiu’s hand and said, "I know, Martial Uncle Mu Bai wants to take you as his disciple, you can finally join Shu Mountain. How nice!"

Seeing Cancan’s carefree demeanor, Yu Xiu couldn’t help but feel a pang of worry. She finally said, "Snowflake Glass is inside Hua Qing." Seeing Cancan and Big Green’s reactions, she added seriously, "When you’re out, make sure to keep Hua Qing in check. So he doesn’t make any big mistakes."

Big Green didn’t want Cancan to know about this, and glared at Yu Xiu fiercely. Yu Xiu felt uneasy, but knowing the situation at Shu Mountain, she knew she had to speak up.

"Even though I don’t understand why Snowflake Glass has little effect on you, it can greatly affect Hua Qing. Hua Yun has turned to the dark side, we can’t have Hua Qing do the same. If that happens, Shu Mountain and the world will face a disaster." Yu Xiu, avoiding Cancan’s happy gaze, felt the weight of her words. She clenched her fists, feeling cruel.

"Enough, Yu Xiu!" In a flash of lightning, Big Green suddenly struck out. Yu Xiu dodged, but she was no match for Big Green and was quickly defeated. After everything they had been through, Yu Xiu wasn’t angry. She just had tears in her eyes as she said, "If Hua Qing gets worse, he might hurt Cancan. Keeping it from her, is that really the right thing to do?"

The sword in Big Green’s hand suddenly emitted a faint light. Big Green seemed to be in a daze, clutching his aching heart, and ultimately lowering the sword.

Cancan finally snapped out of her daze and hurried over to support Big Green, anxiously asking, "Brother Big Green, what’s wrong?" For some reason, Cancan was afraid that Big Green would disappear in the next moment. Mo Yuan wasn’t bad, but he just wasn’t the same Brother Big Green she had grown up with.

Big Green calmed down and the Green Jade Sword slowly quieted. He looked at Yu Xiu and reached out his hand.

Yu Xiu placed her hand in Big Green’s, and he helped her up, saying, "I know you wouldn’t harm Cancan, it’s just…" as if he wanted to explain something.

Yu Xiu shook her head, her hair in disarray but still serious. "I know, you’re not bad." The past was long forgiven, along with Hua Yun’s imprisonment and Ying Tu’s death.

"I only said all this for everyone’s good, for Shu Mountain, for Cancan, for the people of the world." Yu Xiu revealed everything she had learned from Martial Uncle Mu Bai. "Hua Qing is still calm now only because he hasn’t fallen too deep into darkness. But as time passes and Snowflake Glass continues to blend into his heart, it will be too late for regrets. He can be kind to us now only because he hasn’t been influenced much, but Snowflake Glass has shattered once and with each feeding, each nourishment, it will only further awaken the darkness within Hua Qing. Hua Yun… Was Hua Yun always this scheming? No! Perhaps he had some selfish motives from the start, but ultimately it was Snowflake Glass that triggered more of his evil. Hua Yun’s actions today might just be Hua Qing’s future."

Mu Bai couldn’t easily approach Cancan, as Hua Qing would be wary. The only way was through Yu Xiu, who wiped away her tears and looked sorrowful, "Telling you these things won’t be of much help, but I hope you’ll be extra cautious after you leave." Yu Xiu tightly held Cancan’s hand, "Take care of yourself. If you can, try to talk some sense into Hua Qing. At the end of the day, he still has some reasoning left."

Cancan was in a state of confusion, not understanding how she had ended up like this. She finally remembered, remembered the thing she had overlooked, Snowflake Glass.

Snowflake Glass entered Hua Qing’s body, and Yu Xiu said it would enchant Hua Qing.

For some reason, Cancan found herself lost in a cloud of mist. Within the mist, Xian Yue was full of tears, dressed in white, hands covered in fresh blood, saying, "What should I do? How could I have killed someone?"

In a daze, Xian Yue wore a bright red dress, as red as blood, with long black hair flowing, holding a sharp sword, surrounded by an eerie aura, saying, "Those who stand in my way will die."

"Cancan, Cancan!" Yu Xiu shook Cancan, who looked at Yu Xiu in panic, asking, "Will Hua Qing really be enchanted?"

She clung tightly to Yu Xiu, almost hurting her, as if she was a drowning person. "Will he?"

Yu Xiu bit her lip. "Do you know why Snowflake Glass is snow rather than blood?" Not expecting an answer from Cancan, she continued, "It shines in seven colors, pure and radiant, slowly melting into the host like white snow, gradually melting until it completely merges into the marrow."

Cancan suddenly felt a prick in her heart… it hurt a bit.

"In the end, what will happen if we do nothing?" She spoke with difficulty, the good mood for going out already gone, now in a panicked expression.

For some reason, she suddenly saw scenes from a past life – Xian Yue’s past of falling into darkness, being ruthless, cruel, and suffering from killing without hesitation, unable to control herself, day by day growing more numb…

She couldn’t bear to see Hua Qing end up like this. She didn’t want him to regret later when he realized his mistake.

She knew Hua Qing well, so if this happened, Hua Qing would surely regret it. At that moment, she gazed anxiously at Yu Xiu, seeing her in distress. She immediately let go of Yu Xiu’s hand and ran outside…

Big Green chased after Yu Xiu, but Cancan was nowhere outside the door. Yu Xiu panicked and asked, "Why can’t I see Cancan?"

A gentle breeze blew by, and Yu Xiu felt a piercing pain. She suddenly collapsed, and Big Green, not knowing what was happening, helped her up, asking, "Yu Xiu, what’s wrong?"

Yu Xiu felt like she was being pricked by thousands of needles continuously. She fell to the ground in spasms, her face turning pale. "It hurts, it hurts…"

Faint laughter drifted with the wind, and Yu Xiu recognized it as Hua Qing’s.

Meanwhile, Hua Qing stood in the room, next to the crystal clear glass ball. Yu Xiu writhed in pain on the floor, while Cancan quietly lay sleeping on the bed.

He raised his hand slowly and said, "I’ll spare your life for today. But if I hear you talking nonsense with Cancan again, you will face dire consequences."

Yu Xiu looked around but didn’t see Hua Qing. However, she heard his voice faintly, "Hua Qing, Hua Qing, please turn back. I beg you, please… It’s okay if you kill me, just please turn back."

An eerie voice whispered, "If you don’t want to live, I will take you to death…"
