Chapter 13: A Cry of ‘Dao!’ and the Sword Appears! (3)
The moment approached quickly.
The faint and elegant fragrance suddenly filled Xia Qingqing’s nostrils, leaving her completely dazed.
When she came to her senses, Bai Lian was only a finger’s breadth away from her.
The cold from her lips awakened the fire in her heart.
She lowered her guard, allowing their “soldiers” to fiercely grapple with each other.
This battle was not long, but neither was it short.
In the end, it was Xia Qingqing herself who was defeated first.
Scalding tears flowed swiftly down the corner of her eyes, sliding down her face.
The tears continued to fall.
In the end, her eyes were filled with tears, and everything she had seen and remembered became blurred.
Past and present life…
Nothing was left.
Releasing Xia Qingqing, Bai Lian pulled out a saturated silken thread between their lips.
“Xia… Qingqing.”
She reached out to wipe away Xia Qingqing’s tears, but no matter how hard she tried, they couldn’t be wiped clean.
“Don’t cry.”
“You are the Green Emperor.”
“You are the heroine who saved the East Divine Land.”
“Your father must be very sad to see you like this.”
“Then… let me kiss you again?”
“No.”
Xia Qingqing hurriedly waved her hand.
That’s enough.
She didn’t know if she would dare to move forward again after this kiss.
She wiped her eyes, though the tears still flowed, she deliberately controlled them so no more would trickle down.
She spoke softly, “My biggest regret now is that I never said thank you or sorry to my parents and Martial Brother Zhao.”
Bai Lian comforted her, “There is still a chance. Everyone is still young.”
“Hmm.” Xia Qingqing nodded. “In fact, if I really face them, I can’t say anything like that.”
Bai Lian suggested, “Let me help you.”
“Thank you.”
As Xia Qingqing uttered these words, she suddenly felt her body become half as light.
She turned and faced the depths of the dense fog.
It was time.
But before leaving, she had one last question to ask.
Without turning around, her voice drifted over, “Bai Lian, why is your body always so cold?”
Good question!
Bai Lian straightened her body, also puzzled.
“My body has been like this since I can remember.”
She suspected it had something to do with the thick layer of death words on her body, but she had no evidence. Even her master couldn’t make sense of it.
“I see.”
Xia Qingqing nodded and didn’t continue to question Bai Lian.
She believed Bai Lian wouldn’t lie to her, so since Bai Lian said she didn’t know, it must be true.
Now, Xia Qingqing had nothing more to say.
She gazed into the distance.
Bai Lian removed the transparent wall formed by her spirit Qi.
In an instant, the cold wind blew in again, and the pattering of rain squeezed its way back.
Bai Lian raised the umbrella once more.
Xia Qingqing said nothing, simply walking forward in silence.
Through heavy rain and thick fog, she trudged through rocks and stones, muddy ground, puddles, and holes.
Her eyes were wistful, filled with nostalgia and lamentation.
Clearly, they were eyes with a story.
That year, she was naive and ignorant, with dreams of the future.
That year, she encountered a great disaster, and her heart died.
That year, she was full of enthusiasm, yet her efforts bore no fruit.
That year, she was filled with hesitation, yet her passion reignited.
That year, she made her official debut.
She is Green Emperor!
A city, a prison, and a lonely, helpless girl.
Suddenly, a “savage” burst into the slowly dying painting.
No matter how many years have passed, no matter how much she remembers the past, she probably cannot escape the night illuminated by a solitary lamp.
The solitary lamp.
Xia Qingqing’s eyes grew brighter and brighter.
The past was gone. What’s the point in struggling in this world again?
She knew Bai Lian’s strength wasn’t as formidable as the rumors claimed, and that it was a great risk for Bai Lian to protect her and come here.
But if asked what she liked best, it would be that phrase—
“Xia… Qingqing.”
She heard Bai Lian call her name at that moment.
This was the first time Bai Lian didn’t call her Miss Xia and the first time she shouted her name.
In that instant, Xia Qingqing felt no regret.
Come on.
Let her write the final chapter of the dark turmoil!
Xia Qingqing crossed the last rock.
It was like breaking through the walls of the world. The dense fog suddenly dissipated before their eyes.
Bai Lian saw the heavy rain in the sky slowly begin to ease.
In the end, although her umbrella still stood, the sound of rain ceased.
Xia Qingqing walked out, standing before Ruomu Cliff.
She turned to face Bai Lian.
“Be alive.”
Bai Lian spoke.
Her voice was light, yet heavy.
The girl nodded slightly.
She remembered the poem.
[If I were Green Emperor, I would give you a Peach Blossom Forest.]
White Emperor is the god of autumn.
And Green Emperor is the god of spring.
What a magnificent fate, isn’t it? How interesting.
Xia Qingqing raised her right hand and shouted, “I have come to fulfill my promise!”
She traded her remaining life for Ruomu’s power.
She had to fulfill her promise, so she had to become the invincible Green Emperor again.
Stop it.
Ruomu let go of the helpless feeling in his heart.
That moment.
Hundreds of white vapors rushed out from the black water, flying toward Ruomu Cliff.
The next moment.
Millions of white vapors leaped out of the blue water, flying fiercely and mysteriously toward Ruomu Cliff.
One represents “death” and the other represents “life”.
As the two forces collided, the heavens and earth roared.
This day, Green Emperor returned to the earth!
Xia Qingqing smiled.
Just like the flowers in spring, her smile was brighter than the whole world.
Her aura surged suddenly, and in that instant, a brilliant blue-green light burst forth.
Buzz.
The aureole rippled, breaking through time and shattering the four corners of the world.
This highly stable world was split apart by a huge gap.
On the boundless sea, near Qingxu, a towering ancient tree descended.
The cultivators, who were lingering uncertainly near the crack, all raised their heads.
“What is this?”
Their hearts were full of surprise.
The sea monster and the merperson, who controlled Xia Guiyuan in the shadows, also raised their heads.
“Ruomu!”
Their eyes were full of greed.
Bai Lian, standing next to Xia Qingqing, took a deep breath.
Miracles take time to grow!
In Xia Qingqing’s previous life, it took ten years.
In this life, though it won’t take ten years, it’s still not something that can be accomplished in the blink of an eye.
Bai Lian dropped the umbrella from her hand.
It was no longer needed.
She walked up to Xia Qingqing.
First, she crushed the Immortal Spirit Stone in her left palm, letting the turbulent Immortal Spirit Qi rampage through her body. In a very short time, she elevated her cultivation base by several levels.
Then, she stretched out her right hand.
She said, “Sword!”
Under the call of her soul power, pieces of broken ice quickly stacked together, until all the fragments coalesced into a crystal-clear sword.
The Dirt Free Sword!
Looking back at Green Emperor, she said, “I will be here to see you shine the brightest!”
