Chapter 7: Bai Lian’s Words (1)
Ying Shi was lost.
But it was completely different from Xia Qingqing at that time.
If Xia Qingqing was deeply engulfed in a mist, unable to see any path ahead—
Then Ying Shi was finding herself at a deserted crossroads after a long and aimless wander!
The way ahead was feasible.
The back road was also unblocked.
If she didn’t mind, it would be no problem for her to go either to the left, the right, or even down the little path that not many people usually take.
If she could overcome her fear, then she could instantly become an all-knowing “god”!
But that was the problem.
Ying Shi was unable to overcome the fear in her heart.
Moving forward was not an option; she always felt like someone was going to come after her with a fiery stick.
But letting herself remain stagnant—over time, she would inevitably feel pain in her heart.
Especially when she felt the expectations of those around her, she felt even worse.
She felt very empty.
She was in urgent need of something.
Ying Shi knew this was not right.
But…
“I can’t do it!”
Not everyone has the courage to face their fear.
Fortunately, after experiencing twists and turns, she still found the solution to her problem from White Emperor Bai Lian.
Bai Lian had asked her what she wanted.
Actually, this didn’t need to be discussed any further—she had always known.
She wanted to go forward.
She wanted to be as dazzling as White Emperor Bai Lian.
She hoped that she would be remembered by countless people, just like her senior, even after she had left this world.
She still dreamed that one day, she would become a hero who burned herself up in an instant!
“Since it is not possible to fill the gap with my own strength, let’s go to others to find the answers.”
Ying Shi tightened her fists.
Look.
As perfect as White Emperor Bai Lian was, she also nourished her heart by reading biographies.
She was deeply moved.
Ying Shi planned to follow White Emperor Bai Lian’s advice and do it.
Learn from others.
Perhaps she could find a guiding light from those of the past.
If she couldn’t improve through reading, then she would go down the mountain and take a walk.
Exercise her heart.
Reading biographies was a way to cultivate one’s heart, just like cultivating one’s heart in the mundane world.
One day, she would take the first brave step forward!
Thinking of this, Ying Shi bowed to Bai Lian to show her appreciation. After thanking Bai Lian, she gave her an embarrassed smile.
O(///▽///)q
If you’re going to learn from White Emperor Bai Lian, you have to study deeply!
“White Emperor Bai Lian, can I copy the few books you just looked at?”
Poof—
Bai Lian was almost left speechless by Ying Shi’s sudden attack, wondering what she had figured out.
Fortunately, she used a spell for controlling facial expressions, so Ying Shi didn’t notice anything.
What the hell?
Don’t talk nonsense!
It was not easy for her to quietly put the books away.
If Ying Shi knew at this time that these were R18 novels, how could Bai Lian have the courage to look at her again?
Never give them to her!
Bai Lian sternly shook her head immediately.
Ying Shi showed a look of disappointment.
Bai Lian said slowly, with emphasis, “I’m not stingy either. I can tell from looking at these biographies that they are not written by professionals. The writing is not good, and the composition is not smooth. There are inevitably some mistakes in them. If you read them, you won’t get much out of it, or you might even get averse to it.”
Is that so?
“I see!”
Ying Shi’s eyes lit up.
Originally, White Emperor Bai Lian was afraid that after reading these books, she would jump to conclusions and form prejudices against the people described in them.
Indeed.
Going into a situation with preconceptions makes it easy to miss the best qualities of a person!
Ying Shi tentatively asked, “Do you mean I should start by reading those well-regarded biographies?”
“…”
You…
You’re right!!!
Bai Lian nodded repeatedly, with a faint smile on her face.
“Yes, that’s what I thought!” In the end, she added, “This is just my thinking, you can just listen to it, you don’t have to follow exactly what I said.”
“Hmm.”
Ying Shi softly answered.
Seeing how considerate White Emperor Bai Lian was for her, she felt a wave of emotion welling up in her chest.
Sure enough.
Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian may seem cold on the surface, but when you get to know her better, you’ll find that she is warmer than a furnace!
Ying Shi said, “I originally wanted to ask you to lend me the book ‘The Great Elder Martial Sister’s Romance’ for me to learn from, but it seems that there is no need for that now.”
That’s right, sister!
Bai Lian sighed.
If Ying Shi pressed on with great determination, the role of Big Elder Martial Sister would not be taken up by someone else, but Big Elder Martial Sister would be leaving.
[She would certainly die on the spot!]
Terrible.
“Exactly!”
She had an encouraging look in her eyes.
This made Ying Shi even more touched.
She held her chest and said with emotion, “White Emperor Bai Lian, you have such keen insight, just a few words can hit the nail on the head of what I am thinking!”
“…”
That—mainly because those words were yours in the first place, I was just agreeing with you!
But Bai Lian dared not face the truth and just wanted to quickly get over this topic.
How about we chat about what to have for dinner tonight?
Fortunately, Ying Shi didn’t plan to linger here. With a full sense of enlightenment, she now just wanted to hurry and go read a book.
By the way.
Her master must also be very worried about her now.
Although the Saint Lord allowed her to go down the mountain, her master must not have been too happy about it in her heart.
She had always only considered her own feelings, forgetting those of others.
She was so selfish!
Fortunately, White Emperor Bai Lian had timely stopped her and taken action to show her the path.
Ying Shi raised her head, her gaze determined. “White Emperor Bai Lian, I want to go back to Yaochi Holy Mountain right now.”
“Go.”
Bai Lian smiled as she spoke.
She couldn’t wait for Ying Shi to leave—the sooner, the better.
“Hmm!”
Ying Shi raised her head with determination after receiving affirmation.
White Emperor Bai Lian’s tolerance was greater than that of her master. If she had to describe it, it would probably be similar to a mother’s love.
To be honest, Ying Shi’s impression of her own mother was not as considerate as Bai Lian’s.
It was no wonder that the people of the Duxian Sect held White Emperor Bai Lian in such high esteem.
Who doesn’t like an Elder Martial Sister who is so understanding?
Ying Shi and Bai Lian bid farewell with a feeling of nostalgia.
She moved at an incredibly fast speed and had already gone a thousand miles away after just a few flashes of her body in the air, having only just left the Duxian Sect.
Above the Clouds
Gazing at the endless expanse of the East Divine Land, Ying Shi’s mind suddenly flashed back to the stunning scene when Xia Qingqing soared into the sky in front of Ruomu.
That day—
The sky was full of stars.
A pale green pillar rose from the icy sea surface, as if a green dragon were leaping into the endless starry sky.
This scene left an indelible impression on everyone present.
Therefore, when the people praised White Emperor Bai Lian for slaying the sea monster with a single sword and piercing the merperson with a single lance, celebrations for Green Emperor were also held across the East Divine Land.
“Where Does Green Emperor’s Courage Come From?”
Ying Shi muttered to herself.
She couldn’t find the answer—not yet.
Green Emperor was like an invisible cloud of mist. Everyone knew she had saved people from despair during the Dark Ages, but that was all. Even after scouring ancient texts, no one knew what experiences shaped her before she fought the Sea Emperor.
Ying Shi continued thinking, recalling a book she had seen on Bai Lian’s table—
“Green Emperor’s Legend”
That book was written by Bai Lian.
White Emperor Bai Lian, who could transcend the heavens, had spoken with Green Emperor in front of Ruomu. Surely, she knew Green Emperor’s past and had set out to tell her story to the world!
That must be an incredibly fascinating story.
Ying Shi’s heart burned with excitement.
She was eager to read the entire book.
If she had the power, she would have locked Bai Lian in a dark room and ordered her to write until the book was finished!
[Don’t rest until you finish writing!][Spank if you dare to resist!]
Ying Shi immediately shook her head.
No way.
Bai Lian cared for her like a daughter—how could such a wicked thought cross her mind?
“I hope this book comes out soon.”
Inspiration Strikes
Ying Shi gazed at the distant snow-capped mountains.
As she read more biographies, perhaps she too could follow in Bai Lian’s footsteps and write a book.
Green Emperor’s great virtue deserved to be praised, and White Emperor Bai Lian’s noble qualities, warm words, and selfless deeds deserved to be spread as well.
She couldn’t keep such goodness to herself—she had to share the Saint’s kindness with more people!
“Calling it ‘White Emperor’s Story’ doesn’t feel quite right. I don’t know anything about Bai Lian’s past. Writing it now wouldn’t make for a proper biography, so then…”
Ying Shi fell into deep thought.
Yes.
The book she intended to write would focus on Bai Lian’s words and deeds after her rise to fame.
“Let’s call it ‘Bai Lian’s Words’!”
Ying Shi nodded in satisfaction.
She had also considered naming it “Bai Lian’s Love for All Mankind”, but “Bai Lian’s Words” seemed more fitting.
In the future, the teachings of White Emperor Bai Lian would be known as the Bai Sect, and the study of her philosophy would be called Bai Doctrine.
“Am I actually undertaking such a grand endeavor?”
Ying Shi was astonished by the thought and chuckled softly.
A few seconds later, she took off once more, heading toward Yaochi Holy Mountain.
