Chapter 637 See You Later
Shen Qingqing hates Jiang Liqian.
She must hate her.
She lifted the demon seed high and threw it forcefully.
The irregularly shaped stones emitted an eerie and chilling light as they flew toward the lotus platform in the center of the Xuanlei Pool.
Jiang Liqian trembled slightly, so angry that she couldn't suppress the smell of blood and spat it out. She struggled desperately to move her body, to get as far away from that demonic seed as possible.
She didn't want to. She didn't want to become a pawn of hatred and darkness. She had had enough. Why should she be manipulated by these people?
But the more resentful she became, the deeper the chilling aura enveloped her. She couldn't move a finger, let alone her body, and could only watch helplessly as the stone hurtled towards her.
No, you can't!
She screamed inwardly.
She would rather die than be struck down by heavenly lightning for falling into demonic possession! For her, that would be the destruction of her faith and the end of her path.
We can't be so cruel to her; she'd rather be torn to pieces!
Just as the stone was about to fall onto the lotus platform, at the critical moment, a ferocious beast with fiery mane, sharp claws, and bright eyes, resembling a Qilin, suddenly leaped out and swallowed the demon seed whole.
Shen Qingqing was shocked and retreated repeatedly, her legs going weak under the pressure of the suddenly appearing ferocious beast.
Jiang Liqian's initial shock turned to fear, her eyes widening in terror: "Little Golden Peach—!"
The beast that had swallowed the demon seed shook its head, exhaled a cloud of black mist, then flicked its tail to protect its young master. It pawed at the ground with its front hooves and growled a dangerous warning at Shen Qingqing.
Blood immediately flowed from Shen Qingqing's ears.
Amidst the roar, a shadowy figure flashed across her body, and the next second, she vanished into the Xuanlei Heavenly Cave.
Seeing that Little Golden Peach was completely unharmed after swallowing that eerie and sinister stone, Jiang Liqian smiled with joy, and tears immediately rolled down her cheeks.
She opened her mouth as if to say something, but the Demon-Slaying Heavenly Lightning struck again. Her face contorted in pain, she writhed in agony, her consciousness repeatedly fading into chaos, only to be jolted back to reality by the excruciating pain.
Little Golden Peach felt sorry for its master's situation and sadly circled around the Xuanlei Pool, but couldn't manage to rub against its master's face.
The demonic seed was extremely domineering, and it had no choice but to forcibly revert to its true form to protect its young master. However... when its true form was revealed, divine light soared into the sky, and its clansmen could immediately discover its presence. They could not allow it to remain here any longer; this would be a "foul"!
It was so sad that it couldn't bear to leave its little master. It was all that was left for its little master. How could it leave when its little master needed it the most?
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
Jiang Liqian felt a chill in her heart, her pale lips trembled, but she couldn't bring herself to say anything to persuade her to stay.
She's in dire straits, barely able to save herself. She carries a demonic seed, her fate uncertain. How could she possibly deserve Little Golden Peach by her side? How could she possibly protect this divine beast that everyone covets?
The thunder suddenly stopped, and a dazzling seven-colored light shone down from the gaps in the dark clouds, piercing straight through the thick stone wall and landing on Little Golden Peach.
Little Golden Peach raised its head and roared repeatedly in the direction of the divine light, causing the entire stone cave to tremble. But no matter how much it roared, the divine light never disappeared.
The clansmen were determined to take it with them.
Little Golden Peach's roar grew softer and softer, and its body lowered further and lower. Its eyes were fixed on the divine light above its head, and its limbs were tense, as if it were about to rush up and fight to the death at any moment.
Just as it was about to stay at all costs, its little master's voice suddenly came over.
"Little Golden Peach, no!"
Little Golden Peach immediately turned around to look at her nervously.
Jiang Liqian mustered her last bit of strength, gritted her teeth, and stood up unsteadily. Blood dripped continuously from the hem of her tattered skirt, but she didn't care at all. Instead, she gave it a particularly bright smile.
"Go back home, don't make your elders worry."
"Later, when you're older, you can still come to see me, right?"
Little Golden Peach shook her head, feeling wronged and unwilling, and yelled at her.
It wanted to stay; it would rather be punished by its people than not stay. And its young master actually told it to leave?!
It doesn't want to go! It doesn't want to go!
Jiang Liqian was almost unable to stand, but she tried her best to stay upright and not let it do anything bad because of her: "Be good, okay? I...I will come to see you too."
The divine light shone even brighter, clearly indicating that the tribespeople were urging it on.
Little Golden Peach sadly circled in place. It wanted to stay, but it couldn't bear to disobey its little master.
Finally, having no other choice, it obediently prepared to leave with its people. However, before leaving, it opened its mouth and spat out a small, round, golden bubble. The bubble flew over the Xuanlei Pool, entered the barrier, and enveloped Jiang Liqian's body.
This is the divine power it bestowed upon its young master, hoping to help him overcome this calamity.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
Jiang Liqian forced back her tears and waved at it.
"There will be a future meeting!"
Suddenly, a bright light shone. Jiang Li closed her eyes briefly, and when she opened them again, the spirited figure was no longer in the cave.
Jiang Liqian, who had stood up by sheer willpower, trembled, then collapsed like a crumbling building, falling into a coma.
After the Xuanlei Heavenly Cave returned to silence, a dark figure appeared and gazed at the person on the lotus platform for a very long time.
The faded, old gauze curtains of dreams are faintly visible beneath the fence.
Just now, someone intended to harm Jiang Liqian. She was about to take action when a divine beast unexpectedly jumped out first.
If she wasn't mistaken, this divine beast had even had dealings with her family. The girl on the lotus platform clearly possessed such a powerful divine beast, yet she had almost never seen her command it to do anything.
Human cultivators, don't they love to bind free spirit beasts and force them to serve them?
Or is she overconfident, believing herself to be so powerful that she looks down on a mere ancient mythical beast?
Xuan Yue stood outside the vast Xuan Lei Pool, gazing at that blood-red shadow, her mind replaying everything Xu You'an had done for her, risking his life for her.
Jiang Liqian was the host she originally chose. Her luck was strange, but it was the best place for her to hide. However, something went wrong halfway through. Xu Youan seemed to know where she would be and what she would do. He forced her to sign a forbidden blood pact with him first, so she had to be bound to him, thus being deliberately separated from Jiang Liqian by him.
Now, at this moment, she seems to belatedly realize something.
In this world, there are people who are willing to give their all for another, time and time again, over and over again.
No regrets, I'm willing to do it.
She herself once had someone like that, but later, everything changed.
