    Chapter Index

    In the dark night, Xie Ren eyes pupils instantly contracted into very small two points, trembling voice: “…… is you?!”

    White without a phase!

    Xie Ren was creeped out and leapt up, backhandedly trying to pull out his sword but came up empty, only then remembering that all of his swords had been pawned off long ago. Even the branch that he had used as a weapon had been cut off. In other words, he was now powerless and unarmed, but against this thing!

    A few years ago, after the destruction of Immortal Music, Bai Wuxiang disappeared from the world. Xie Ren had never looked for him, nor had he ever thought of looking for him, but only hoped that he would never show up again, who knew that this thing would suddenly appear in front of him today!

    The white-robed figure slowly approached him, Xie Ren felt a chill from the bottom of his heart, first he couldn’t help but take two steps back, and then he reacted: he couldn’t back off! It’s useless to run away!

    He snapped, “What do you want?!”

    Bai Wuxiang did not reply, continuing to walk closer with his hands folded. Xie Ren’s hands and feet were trembling along with the white breath exhaled from his lips.

    He forced himself to recall the faces of the thirty-odd Magi who were either derisive or indifferent or laughing, as well as the side face of Mu Qing who turned away, and suddenly, he forgot his fear, shouted out, and slammed his palm up!

    However, before this palm hit, a sharp pain came first. The other party had actually anticipated Xie Ren’s move and flashed behind him before him, kicking him in the crook of his knee!

    It’s too fast!

    Xie Ren’s knees had already fallen to the ground with a heavy thud, and only then did this horrible thought come into his mind.

    The thing actually moved faster than he could think!

    The next moment, Xie Ren felt something even more terrifying – the five fingers of an icy palm opened wide and covered his heavenly aura!

    He cried out while the hand exerted a slight force, lifting his head along with his entire body. Xie Ren had no doubt that with the strength of this thing, these five fingers would be able to directly crush his cranium as soon as they closed in, turning his head into a bloody mass of bone-clenched flesh in no time. He also had no doubt that Bai Wuxiang intended to do just that as his next step after grabbing him!

    Xie Ren drew in a messy breath, thinking that he was bound to die, and closed his eyes with force. Who knows, that thing behind her didn’t even have the intention of continuing to exert force, instead, she collected her killing aura and let out a light sigh.

    After this soft sigh for a while, the other party did not continue to move. In a dead silence, Xie Ren again, little by little, opened his eyes.

    The ghost flames in the sky were dancing around in ecstasy, each flame was an undead that was watching and giggling, however, the many ghost flames seemed to be deterred by something and didn’t dare to come close to the two of them, there was only one ghost flame that had an extraordinarily bright flame that was hanging above them, and it was using its own flames one by one to violently slam into the person behind Xie Ren. I don’t know what it was doing, but how it looked, it was like a mayfly shaking a tree.

    Suddenly, Xie Ren’s body stiffened.

    Bai Wu Xiang, actually hugged him.

    Xie Ren sat crookedly on her knees, held in a lifeless embrace by a pair of cold and strong hands.

    Bai Wuxiang also sat down at some point and muttered, “Poor, poor. Your Highness the Crown Prince, look, what you’ve been made to look like.”

    He murmured and whispered as he stroked Xie Ren’s head, his movements gentle and compassionate, as if he were petting a wounded puppy or his own child who was seriously ill and about to die.

    Under the moonlight, the half-smiling face of the sad and happy face was hidden in the darkness, and there was only half a crying face, as if it was genuinely grieving and shedding tears for Xie Ren.

    Xie Ren stiffened and shrank still, and the white-robed man behind him lifted his fingers and wiped the dirty mud off his face.

    In the midst of his movements, Xie Ren actually felt a bizarre kind of compassion. It was like being in the arms of her best friend, her most familiar relative, and her body, which had been frozen to the point of shivering, miraculously returned a little warmth.

    I didn’t realize that the thing that gave him such compassion and warmth in this situation was actually something so bizarre.

    Xie Ren let out a gurgling, suppressed whimper in his throat, shaking harder and harder. The ghostly fire flew to his heart, as if it wanted to warm him up, but it was unsure if it could help dispel the cold and didn’t dare to get close.

    Bai Wuxiang helped him wipe off the rotten mud on his body and said, “Come over to my side.”

    “……,” Xie Ren said in a trembling voice, “I …… I …… “

    Before the sentence was finished, he suddenly probed out with his palm and attacked Bai Wu Xiang’s mask!

    The surprise attack was successful, the mask was hit by his palm and flew high, and Xie Ren has rolled over and leaped to a few feet away, the fearfulness of the party was swept away, and he said in a deep voice angrily, “Who wants to go over to your side, you …… monster!”

    That ghastly white face of sorrow and joy crashed to the ground, and as if stunned, the ghostly flames that filled the sky suddenly went out of order, dancing wildly and screaming silently. For his part, Bai Wu Xiang covered his face and laughed lowly.

    That smile made Xie Ren’s cold hairs stand on end, saying, “What are you laughing at?”

    Bai Wuxiang hummed lightly and said, “You will come to my side.”

    His tone was certain, Xie Ren didn’t understand what he meant and said incredulously: ”Which side is your side? You destroyed Immortal Music and you’re asking me to go to your side? Are you crazy? You’re sick!”

    He wouldn’t curse, even if he was furious to the extreme, he would only say those few words, or else he would curse this thing with the most vicious and anger-venting words in the world. Bai Wuxiang laughed, covered his face with his hands, and said with his head held high, ”You will come. In this world, besides me, no one will truly understand you, and no one will be with you forever.”

    Xie Ren was chilled in his heart, but still refuted, “Get lost! Cut the self-righteous nonsense, you say there’s no one and there’s no one?”

    A ghostly fire flew to his side, nodding up and down as if nodding in approval of him. But with such evil things on all sides, Xie Ren did not notice this lone one.

    Over there, Bai Wu Xiang said in a warm voice, “Oh? Is there someone? There were people in the past, but do you guess there will be in the future?”

    “……”

    Xie Ren said, “What do you mean? What are you implying?”

    Bai Wuxiang did not reply and turned around with a cold smile, seemingly about to float away.

    He whispered, “I’ll be here for you, Prince.”

    Xie Ren, of course, couldn’t just let him go and said, “Wait! Don’t you go! What have you done to them? You moved my father and mother and Feng Xin?”

    He chased after him and reached out to grab the white-clothed figure, but who knows, the other party flicked his sleeve and backhandedly grabbed a ball of ghostly fire.

    He didn’t specifically attack Xie Ren, but Xie Ren felt a terrifyingly strong force coming at him, and his entire body flew high into the air, crashing into a tree. With a loud bang, the large tree that was hugged by two people was collapsed by his figure!

    If it is in the past, such a tree Xie Ren is to break ten trees will not frown, but now he is a mortal body, so a collision, all the bones to fall apart generally, heavy landing, fainted.

    At the last moment before he closed his eyes, he seemed to see the white-robed figure stretching out one hand, holding a blazing ball of ghostly fire blaze in his palm, and laughed, “Ghost, tell me, what’s your name? This can be too interesting ……”

    Woke up and everything was gone.

    Xie Ren head down and feet up, chest and mouth are full of blood, dizzy for a while, suddenly a wheel to climb up, murmured: “…… Father! Mother! Feng Xin!”

    Remembering what all had happened before he passed out, he didn’t dare to delay a moment and ran furiously for dozens of miles, finally returning to the hiding place of the State Lord and the others in the middle of a late night more than twenty days after he had left with his traveling bag on his back.

    Xie Ren’s heart was burning all the way, terrified, afraid that Bai Wuxiang had already poisoned his relatives and friends. When she returned to the small house, she pushed open the door and lost her voice, “Father! Mother! Feng Xin!”

    Fortunately. Inside the house, there was no such miserable situation as he had imagined, not even things were in disarray, still the same as before he left.

    Xie Ren ran wildly for dozens of miles with all his injuries, his throat was dry to the point of smoking, and he put his heart down a little before swallowing his throat and continuing to walk inside, saying, “Feng Xin! You guys are in ……”

    As soon as he pushed open the door, his voice caught. Feng Xin was in the house, and when he saw Xie Ren return, he curiously said, “Your Highness! Why have you come back?”

    However, Xie Ren did not look at him, but instead stared intently at the opposite side of him. Across from Feng Xin stood a man in black.

    It’s Mugatu.

    Mu Qi turned around to see him and pursed her lips, her face not looking too good either. Feng Xin walked around him to welcome him and said, ”Didn’t you go to cultivation? How’s it going? I thought you were going to be gone for months, coming back so early, is there some great progress?”

    Xie Ren stared at Mu Yi and said, “Where are Father and Mother?”

    Feng Xin said: ”Sleeping in the house, already lying down to rest. Why are your clothes so dirty? What happened to the wound on your face? Who did you fight with?”

    Xie Ren didn’t answer, hearing that her parents were safe and sound, she was completely relieved and said to Mu Yin, “Why are you here?”

    Muyi didn’t say anything, and Feng Xin answered on his behalf, “He came to deliver something.”

    Xie Ren said, “What is it?”

    Muoi raised his hand slightly and pointed it aside. He was pointing at a few clean bags that were supposed to contain rice cereal.

    Seeing Xie Ren’s silence, Mu Qi whispered, “I heard that you guys are short of medicine, so I’ll try to get some later.”

    Feng Xin said, “Alright, then I’ll say thanks a lot, there’s a shortage of these right now. Magi can’t privately give things to mortals, so be careful yourself.” He then came over to Xie Ren’s side and whispered, “I’m also quite surprised, he actually came back to help, count me out before. Anyway …… “Xie Ren but suddenly said, “No need.”

    Muyoung’s face grayed a bit and he clenched his fists. Windsong wondered, “What don’t you need?”

    Xie Ren said word for word, “I don’t need your help. I also …… don’t want your things. Please leave.”

    Hearing the words “please leave”, Mu Qing’s face became more and more gray.

    Feng Xin also sensed something was wrong and said, “What’s wrong?”

    Muoi lowered her head and said, “I’m sorry.”

    After knowing Mu情 for so many years, this was the first time I heard him say those three words, and the first time I saw him apologize solidly, but Xie Ren no longer cared to be surprised and said, “Please leave!”

    He was a bit emotionally out of control and grabbed those bags and threw them at Mu Ai. The white flowery rice scattered all over the place, Mu Ai was thrown by him in a terrible mess, but just raised her hand to block it, still enduring. Feng Xin pulled Xie Ren back and said in shock, ”Your Highness! What in the world, what did he do? Didn’t you go to cultivate? What happened in between?!”

    Xie Ren was pulled by him and said with crimson eyes, “…… You ask him. I went to cultivate, why I came back, you ask him!”

    The noise outside was too much, and the Queen who had already fallen asleep in the house was awakened, draped herself in her clothes and came out, saying: ”Emperor’s son, is it you who has come back? What’s wrong with you ……” Feng Xin busily said, “Nothing! Your Majesty the Queen quickly go inside!” Hardly pushed her back again, closed the door and questioned, “What did you do? Mu Qi what did you do in the end? Your Highness, this wound on your face is from him?!”

    Xie Ren’s breath became more and more rapid and messy, and she couldn’t speak at all. Mu Yi said, “It wasn’t me! I didn’t hit His Highness, I just told him to leave, other than that I didn’t say a single heavy word or make a move against him! That piece of spirit land they were aiming to win, in that situation you couldn’t even close the deal if you didn’t leave!”

    “You! ……”

    In three words, Feng Xin also finally figured out what was happening. His eyes widened as he pointed at Mu Qing, unable to say a word. In the middle of the day, he bent down and grabbed the cloth bag on the ground and threw it across his face, growling, “Get lost! Get lost, get lost, get lost!”

    Mu Ai was hit in the face again by the rice bag he brought and took two steps backwards. All three people in the room gasped for air, and Feng Xin said, “I said why did you suddenly turn around? I’m so fucked, this fucking …… don’t let me see you again!”

    Mu Ai said in a mute voice, “Yes! I made a mistake, I admit it, I apologize! But I was trying to solve the problem at hand before talking about anything else! If I don’t return to the Lower Heavenly Court, everyone will be doomed! Your parents, my mother, the three of us, we don’t know how long we’ll be struggling in the muck! If I go back first, there’s still a chance ……”

    Feng Xin scolded, “All fucking bullshit, less bullshit! No one wants to hear your excuses, get the fuck outta here!”

    Mu love said, “If you and I change places ……,” Feng Xin interrupted him, “Let you stop talking nonsense! Do not listen! I just know that no matter what situation I will not do the same thing with you, no need to change places, you are just ungrateful!”

    Mu Qi’s face appeared green with anger as she took a step forward and said, “Wasn’t Your Highness also forced to rob in times of difficulty? Why is it that when it comes to me, you can’t put your heart in the right place?”

    Windsong sputtered, saying, “Huh? Robbery? Who robbed? His Highness robbed? What the fuck are you talking about?”

    “……”

    Xie Ren choked.

    Seeing Feng Xin’s face of fury gradually turned into dismay, Mu Yi then realized where it was wrong, hesitantly turned to Xie Ren and said, “You …… you don’t have ……?”

    He also didn’t expect that Xie Ren actually didn’t tell Feng Xin about it!

    “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!”

    Xie Ren went crazy and casually copied something and kicked Mu情 out. Mu情 also realized that she might have stirred up a big basket, and didn’t dare to speak even after being hit several times. But after escaping to the outside of the house and seeing that the thing Xie Ren used to beat herself with was actually a broom, her face blackened again and she said, “You’re not going to taunt me like this, are you?!”

    Xie Ren crumbled, “Get lost!”

    He threw a punch with a sharp wind, Mu love was swept by him, barely flashed, his face was swept out a trace of blood. He reached out and touched it, looked at the blood on his hand, clouded over, and after a long time, he said, “…… OK. I’m leaving.”

    Xie Ren shivered and bent down deeply. Mu Xiang walked out a few steps, still placing the rice bag on the ground, saying, “I’m really leaving.”

    Xie Ren jerked his head up, Mu Yi saw the look in his eyes, his throat moved, no longer lingering, flung his sleeves and left.

    The stunned Feng Xin in the house then chased him out and said: ”Your Highness! He dog bullshit it him? What’s going on with the robbery?”

    Xie Ren covered his forehead and said, “…… Don t ask, Feng Xin I beg you not to ask.”

    Windsong said, “No, of course I don’t believe that, I just want to know what’s going on ……”

    Xie Ren cried out, covered his ears, and fled into the house, locking himself in.

    Feng Xin was truly convinced that he would never do such a thing. But it was because of this that it turned into the worst situation!

    Xie Ren wanted to simply run away and escape to a place where no one would recognize him, but he remembered what Bai Wuxiang had said and didn’t dare to go too far, so he could only lock himself up in the house. No matter how much Feng Xin and the Queen called out to him he didn’t go out.

    It wasn’t until two days had passed that Xie Ren felt slightly calmer, and when Feng Xin knocked on the door again, he silently opened it. Holding a plate, Feng Xin stood in the doorway and said, “This is what Her Majesty the Empress made for you during the day, and instructed me to make sure to bring it over to you.”

    The color of the things in that plate was greenish purple, making people horrified at the sight of it. Feng Xin added, “If your highness is afraid of risking your life, I’ll just help you out, I won’t tell Her Majesty the Empress, huh?”

    It could be seen that Feng Xinli still wanted to ask after the robbery what was going on, but he was afraid that Xie Ren would lock himself up again, so he had to forcefully press it down, pretending that he didn’t have that matter to not inquire about it, pretending to be relaxed. But he was not good at joking, and the jokes he made were dry and simply embarrassing.

    Honestly speaking, the taste of his mother’s cooking was truly horrible to the extreme, and the more times he cooked, the more attentive his attitude became, the more he progressed in a direction he shouldn’t have. Xie Ren had also never cooked before, but he tasted good when he did, so it seemed that it could only be explained as being gifted. Nonetheless, Xie Ren took the plate and sat down at the table to eat honestly. The current him couldn’t taste anything he ate anyway.

    A blessing amongst misfortunes. Although he thought he was finished that night and was definitely heard, based on the past few days, it seemed that the State Lord and Queen were not aware of his robbery. Otherwise, with the temper of the Kingdom Lord, they would have scolded him long ago. Feng Xin definitely wouldn’t say anything to them, so for the time being, he could put his heart down.

    Thinking of this, Feng Xin suddenly got up, and Xie Ren awoke with a start, saying, “What are you doing?”

    Feng Xin took his bow and said, “It’s time to go out and sell your art.”

    Xie Ren stood up and said, “I’ll go too.”

    After a moment’s hesitation, Feng Xin said, “Forget it, you’d better rest again.”

    Although Feng Xin did not pursue the question any further, Xie Ren was also all over the place, always feeling that after being known by Feng Xin about this kind of thing, there was something between the two of them that they could never go back to, every word and every look of Feng Xin seemed to have a different meaning that was worthy of deeper investigation. Xie Ren shook her head, sighed and said, “I’ll be honest with you, I don’t have the heart to cultivate right now.”

    This Feng Xin more or less expected, lowered his head and did not know what to say. Xie Ren added: “In that case, instead of sitting in the house withered, why don’t you also go out to sell your art, at least you can still earn some money and not look like a ……”

    Not to look like a wreck.

    For some reason, he was unable to say these last two words. It was probably because he really felt in his heart that he was already an invalid, so he didn’t dare to easily spit out these two words.

    Feng Xin still wasn’t too relieved and said, “I can do it alone, Your Highness you’ve only had one meal in the past two days, it’s better to rest for a few more days.”

    The more he said so, the more anxious Xie Ren was to prove herself, turned to look in the mirror and said, “It’s okay, I’ll just …… organize it.”

    He had wanted to go and tidy up his grooming, at least not to be in a mess like a beggar’s madman, but who knows, he saw a horrible picture in the mirror to the extreme.

    In the mirror, he actually didn’t have a face – because the face that was reflected out of his face carried a sad and happy face that was half-crying and half-laughing.
