Chapter 172: Sorry, Bai Xiaochun

That night, martial law was imposed in Eastwood City. All the cultivator clans started to act, conducting a thorough investigation throughout the city. As for Bai Xiaochun and Du Lingfei, they disappeared into the night.

Du Lingfei explained to Bai Xiaochun that his commission was almost over, and there was no harm in returning to the sect earlier. Therefore, he would accompany her on the way back.

**

It's late at night. Stars shine in the sky, and the moon hangs high and bright. Bai Xiaochun and Du Lingfei were sitting on the top of the mountain looking at the stars. Du Lingfei looked even prettier than usual under the starlight. Smiling, he looked towards Bai Xiaochun as he retold the events that had happened over the years apart.

"You won't believe it, boo. On the south bank, they actually pelted me with stones. Man, it's so painful ….

“I don't mean things in the 10,000 Snake Valley to be like that! I just want the snake to look a little sweeter ….

“After you return to the sect, boo, you should definitely tell me if you see that damn rabbit!

“Those people on the northern edge are total bullies. I was sent to the north bank, alone and poor. I ran with my tail between my legs, afraid of offending anyone, but they still didn't let me off the hook…. ” As he told his stories about the Spirit Stream Sect, Du Lingfei occasionally comforted him and occasionally laughed. The expression of praise and shock given to him made Bai Xiaochun even more excited.

He protested against the use of his nickname ‘boo’, and did it more than once, but it was useless. In fact, the more he protested, the more he used it.

"Boo, boo, boo …."

Finally, he simply shook his head and sighed resignedly.

Finally, they found the mountain cave where they had spent the night. Bai Xiaochun sat down cross-legged to meditate, and after a bit of time passed, a gentle breeze blew by. Surprisingly, Bai Xiaochun did not notice the wind at all.

Du Lingfei opened his eyes and looked at Bai Xiaochun, mixed emotions in his eyes. After a while, he stood up and walked out of the cave to see the bright moon above. A gust of wind blew her strand of hair out of place, and she grabbed to slip it behind her ear.

However, when his finger reached the hair, it instantly pierced through it. Du Lingfei stared at his glittering index finger, and the complexity in his eyes deepened. Clenching his hand into a fist caused the finger to become solid again, after which he slipped the stray hair into place.

"There's not much time left …."

Some time passed. Looking extremely melancholic, Du Lingfei walked back to the cave and looked at Bai Xiaochun who was sitting there quietly. Careful not to push him, he sat by his side and placed his head on his shoulders. After he closed his eyes, a smile appeared on his face.

Time passed when they traveled. Three days passed, which did not seem to be too long for Bai Xiaochun. He fantasized a little about what it was like to return to the sect as a Heaven-Dao Foundation Establishment expert, and how he would be the center of all attention. Every time he thought about it, he became even more excited.

Du Lingfei wanted to slow down the journey, but when he saw how excited he was, he simply smiled and held his tongue. On the third day, the cultivation base of Bai Xiaochun Foundation was stable, and they were getting closer to the Spirit Stream Sect.

Far away in the night of the third day, when they were only about a day's journey from the Spirit Stream Sect, Du Lingfei suggested that they rest for a while. They found a mountain cave, where Bai Xiaochun began to tell of his terrifying experience in the Fallen Sword World. As he spoke, he began to feel tired, and before he realized what was happening, he fell asleep.

Everything was very quiet, with the only sound being the small explosions and hisses of fire they made. Inside the cave, flames cast dancing shadows, and outside, it was pitch-black. Everything is very peaceful.

Du Lingfei stared into the flames for a while, then looked at the sleeping Bai Xiaochun, a gentle look in his eyes as he thought back to the past. At this point, he did not pay attention to his physical body, which began to sparkle and became translucent.

After a long time passed, he sighed. Giving Bai Xiaochun an inside look, he got up, trembling slightly. At this point, he saw the man's mouth bend upwards as he fell asleep. Apparently he had some kind of good dream.

Bending down, he kissed her lips gently, then turned around and walked out of the cave, an expression of determination spreading across her face.

When he appeared, the air rippled and changed when nine shadow figures appeared. They were all mysterious and enigmatic, even bizarre, and as they stood there, the air around them glittered and flickered.

Unexpectedly, the nine figures were holding hands and bowing deeply at Du Lingfei. From the respect they showed, they almost looked like servants.

One of the shadow figures stepped forward and spoke in a hoarse voice that almost seemed to be from the ancient past. “Junior Matriarch, the task you assigned us has been completed. All eleven individuals are here. "

With that, he waved his hand, causing the eleven severed heads to fall. The faces of each and every head were twisted into expressions of fear and disbelief.

To his surprise, these were all spies who had infiltrated Eastwood City with the intention of killing Bai Xiaochun.

Du Lingfei ignored the severed head and the nine shadow figures. Turning around, he looked at the sleeping Bai Xiaochun.

"Everything about me in the Spirit Stream Sect is fake," he murmured, his eyes sparkling as if tears were flowing. "The only real thing is when the Luochen Clan is after us.

One of the shadow figures held hands and respectfully said, "Junior Matriarch, the mortal body the patriarch created for you will not last longer. He sent us here to escort you back. Are you coming, Mom? "

Du Lingfei continued to stare at Bai Xiaochun for a long time, then nodded lightly. He looks exhausted. Finally, he turned around to leave. As he did so, his body slowly disappeared, turning into nothing more than smoke. Nine shadow figures also disappeared ….

As for the eleven severed heads, they dissolved into ashes.

The next morning at dawn, when the first sunlight reached the cave, Bai Xiaochun narrowed his eyes as he slowly opened his eyes.

"I'm thirsty, boo .." he said, yawning. He was a little surprised; after starting to cultivate, he found that he did not need to sleep this often, but just now, he had slept for quite a long time. Rubbing his eyes, he stood up and looked for Du Lingfei.

When he didn't see it, he didn't think too much about it. Walking out of the cave, he looked at the sunrise and then stretched lazily.

“I've definitely been too tired myself lately. Oh, my God, sleep well. ” At the moment, he felt more energetic than before, as if a boundless life force was pulsing within him. His nine spiritual seas were golden in color, and he was fully and completely in the Heaven-Dao Foundation Establishment stage.

His aura had stopped focusing inwardly, and with every breath he took, he could almost hear the waves pounding on his spiritual sea.

He felt better now than before, and decided to meditate for a while, both to familiarize himself with the Heaven-Dao Foundation Establishment and his Heaven-Dao aura, and also to wait for Du Lingfei.

After two hours had passed, and Du Lingfei had yet to return, Bai Xiaochun opened his eyes, feeling somewhat nervous.

"Not yet to return?" he thinks. He took out a transmission jade slip and sent a message to him, but it was as good as throwing a stone into the sea. No answer at all.

"What the hell is going on?!" He soared to his feet and immediately started searching in the area. By nightfall, he had searched everywhere, but had not found a single trace …. Du Lingfei .. has disappeared!

At this point, he was wracked with anxiety, and felt that something bad had happened. A pale face, red eyes, he expanded his search.

“Where are you, boo !?

"Du Lingfei, where are you!?!?

"Du Lingfei …." He searched for four consecutive days, looking everywhere he could think of. Soon her hair was disheveled, and she looked like she was losing weight. However, Du Lingfei was nowhere to be found.

"Did I say something wrong, boo? Why are you hiding from me? Tell me!

"Du Lingfei, come out, wherever you are!

"What's going on!?"

He went crazy with anxiety at this point. Finally, he returned to the cave where he had last seen her, and searched the entire place with a fine-toothed comb. Unfortunately, the result is the same as before.

He was not sure why, but his heart ached. It felt like someone was tearing him to pieces, and was a feeling he had never experienced before. Clasping her hands tightly in her pit, she thought back to how she had fallen asleep for no apparent reason, and then her heart sank. Finally, a blank look appeared in his eyes.

**

The fact that Bai Xiaochun had left for so long without returning caused the sect to send more people to find him. Hou Yunfei led a team, as did the other key disciples from the southern and northern banks. Even Li Qinghou helped.

When they finally found him, he was sitting outside the cave, his eyes red, his face thin. He looks confused.

When Li Qinghou saw her, he felt a slight pain upon seeing her, and asked, "Xiaochun, what's the matter ?!"

Bai Xiaochun shivered. With empty eyes, he turned to look at Li Qinghou and muttered, "Uncle Li, Du Lingfei."
