Chapter 471: Chapter 437: Yan Chixia’s Love and Hatred Entanglement
(ÒωÓױ)!
Nani?
"Why are you threatening us? What does your getting beaten up have to do with us who are just watching?"
"Retreat!"
Yan Chixia gritted his teeth. He knew that today he had no hope of slaying demons and could only choose to temporarily avoid their sharp edges.
"Heaven and Earth are limitless, Qiankun Escape Technique!"
His figure flickered, turning into a shadow. With the speed of the Taoist Sword, he instantly broke through Dalian’s encirclement and fled toward the distance.
Dalian watched Yan Chixia’s fleeing figure, the corner of her mouth curving into a disdainful smile. She had no intention of pursuing, only saying coldly,
"Run, run, I hope that the next time we meet, you’ll bring me a little surprise~."
Jiang Xiao and Bai Yi witnessed everything. Although they were prepared mentally, their hearts still shook immensely when they saw Yan Chixia truly flee.
They had not expected that this man, known as the paragon of the Taoist school, would be defeated by Dalian, and defeated so miserably at that.
"It seems we were too naive."
Jiang Xiao sighed wryly and shook his head, aware that the gap in strength between them and Dalian was far beyond their imagination.
Bai Yi’s face was also pale as she tightly grasped Jiang Xiao’s hand, her eyes filled with worry.
However, Jiang Xiao’s confusion churned in his heart. Looking toward Dalian with puzzled eyes, he wondered,
In his view, although Yan Chixia had escaped, he was still a loose end that could become a major problem if not eliminated.
He couldn’t help but ask, "Sister Dalian, why not take this opportunity to kill Yan Chixia? Wouldn’t that solve the problem once and for all?"
Dalian turned around, her eyes flashing with profound light. She smiled lightly, her voice tinged with playfulness,
"Jiang Xiao, do you think you can kill anyone you want in this world?"
Jiang Xiao was stunned. He hadn’t expected this kind of response from Dalian, and this only piqued his curiosity further.
Dalian continued, "Although Yan Chixia is defeated, he has the force of the Taoist orthodoxy behind him. If I were to truly kill him today, I might invite endless troubles."
"And besides, although he has fled, this defeat is a severe blow to him. He will need time to digest this lesson. Sometimes, letting a person go can be more valuable than killing him."
After hearing this, Jiang Xiao fell silent, gradually understanding Dalian’s intentions.
She didn’t want to kill; she was simply waiting for a better opportunity—possibly to turn Yan Chixia into her pawn, or perhaps wait for him to grow stronger to achieve a greater victory.
Or maybe, she just wanted to crush Yan Chixia’s spirit completely.
After all, from his reaction just now, someone with a fiery temper like Yan Chixia might truly not be able to handle the blow of defeat.
"And..."
Dalian spoke again, this time her expression was much more playful.
"I didn’t kill him mainly out of respect for an old friend."
Old friend?
Dalian is a demon, so her old friends are mostly demons too, of course, it could be something else, but definitely not a good person.
And Yan Chixia, a symbol of righteousness from the Taoist school, how could an old friend of Dalian have any relation with him?
Bai Yi’s eyes lit up, telling her directly that a story was coming!
"My friend is indeed a demon, but back then Yan Chixia was also very young, and he was a young man with very open-minded thoughts."
After pausing, Dalian continued,
"As the old saying goes, in this world, there are humans and there are demons, and of course, there are also human-demons. There are good and bad people, and there are good and bad demons."
"Oh!" Bai Yi clapped her hands, suddenly realizing, "So your friend is a good demon, and she and Yan Chixia became good friends!"
"No, she’s a bona fide bad demon, and she loves collecting the essence of young men the most."
The two of them: "?"
This... couldn’t be what they were thinking, right?
"My old friend is also a renowned figure among the demon clan, and she has been living in the City of the Dead for many years. Her true form is that of Hei Mountain, which has cultivated for ten thousand years."
Damn?
"Hei Mountain Granny?!"
"Eh, you know about Hei Mountain Granny too? Didn’t you say you came from another world?"
Uh...
It might be a bit complicated to explain, but the place of residence, true form, and name all match up...
"Big Sister Bai, and then what happened? Yan Chixia looked so serious, did he actually fall in love with a mountain?"
"Little brat, can’t a mountain transform into a human?"
"Is she pretty? That Hei Mountain Granny?"
"Uh, I think she’s okay."
Watching the two Bais seriously discussing, Jiang Xiao was already speechless. You think she’s okay?
Are you judging from the perspective of a human or from the perspective of a demon?
Hei Mountain Granny, for goodness’ sake!
Just from the name, you can already tell quite a bit, right?
Whenever he thought of that androgynous, hermaphroditic, neutral old crack, Jiang Xiao felt nauseous.
And Bai Yi was getting more and more excited as she talked.
Perhaps she had been troubled that these secrets had always been buried in her heart, with no one to confide in, as they involved the face of her old friend.
But Jiang Xiao and Bai Yi were clearly not part of that circle; anyway, in a couple of days, they would either die or leave, so these secrets wouldn’t be known to Hei Mountain Granny.
"Hey! I’ll tell you, but don’t you tell anyone else. Hei Mountain Granny accidentally let it slip when she was drunk that Yan Chixia likes her just the way she is!"
"Really?! But, the age difference between them is huge, Hei Mountain Granny is tens of thousands of years old!"
Bai Yi blinked her big eyes, looking extremely excited.
Jiang Xiao’s stomach couldn’t help but churn again. Are their tastes so uniquely advanced?
Hell, Hero Yan, the rose-tinted glasses I had for your childhood... shattered to pieces...
"Could there be any doubt? As the saying goes, ’The heavens may grow old but a person stays young; why reserve flirtatiousness for youth?’"
"No generation gap?"
"Of course not, the two of them are spirited and vibrant, like an old tree sprouting new blossoms, with the golden sunset so dazzling and full of life!"
Dun dun dun!
Jiang Xiao immediately covered Bai Yi’s little ears. This was not something she should listen to more, lest she learn something bad.
"Big Bai, it’s been so long now... about Dalian..."
"Hmm, I can give her to you. I’m quite happy today, although these Yin-commanded girls are rare, with some time, they are not hard to find."
With that said, Bai Yi waved her broad white sleeve and a transparent soul was flung out.
Finally, the target person was seen, and the father and daughter could breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, although Bai Yi was pretty mean to good people, she was quite nice to bad people.
"Dad, so now we..."
"We’ve finished the job, so naturally, we’ll head straight back to Liu Town to turn in the mission!"
He was in a hurry!
If possible, with the Peach Wood Sword and this ancient mirror, after one more Kaidan, he should be able to exchange for Shi Shi!
But to be fair, being able to contact and summon Bai Yi with this mirror, Jiang Xiao was a bit reluctant to part with it.
After all, as things currently stood, Bai Yi seemed to be a very reasonable woman, and she might be relied on to save them in a critical moment; he was just unsure whether she could be summoned in other Kaidans.
