[END] Will Eternal

Chapter 922: Who is Du Lingfei ?!

Nightfall. The only sound that could be heard was the gentle pounding of the waves onto the island, making everything very peaceful.

As Bai Xiaochun sat cross-legged in meditation, his heart slowly calmed down. He had made the decision to return to the warship. His journey to Heavenspan Island was to obtain a longevity pill, ensure that Hou Xiaomei was safe, and also.

He does not sit in memory of the past. He just waited quietly.

The same pressure from earlier weighed on the island, and in fact, the absence of any sound other than the waves made the pressure seem even stronger. As a result, all visitors felt more awe and fear than ever before.

Such a feeling was stronger among those with a higher cultivation base, the reason being that they could sense it more clearly … that aura messed up their cultivation base and made their minds shaken. That aura could destroy them from any existence at will!

It was the most important aura, the kind that could not even be threatened by heaven. In fact, the heavens even seemed ready to submit to the source of that aura!

An aura like that, something that was truly domineering and rising ... could only be possessed by one person in the Heavenspan Realm!

That knowledge made the cultivators of the four rivers even more enthusiastic than before. The mere idea of becoming a Heavenly disciple was exciting.

Not even the gods could control their emotions. After all, the rule did not stipulate that only Nascent Soul cultivators could win the chance to become apprentices.

The only qualification ... is to be the first person to emerge from the trial by fire.

Although the level of one's cultivation base could play that, luck was a greater factor. And therefore, even if the gods had an advantage, that advantage would only help them to a certain extent.

As the night grew darker, most of the visiting cultivators drowned as they practiced cultivation. No one left their homes. It was not that they did not want to; they did not dare to do so.

Not only did Du Lingfei offer a warning of his, but the burdening pressure confirmed that only someone who wanted to commit suicide would go out into the open.

Bai Xiaochun made the same decision, and just sat there waiting.

Late at night .. she opened her eyes and looked at the front door.

At almost the same time, an alluring sound came in from outside.

"Can I come in?"

Only one sentence was spoken, nothing else. Bai Xiaochun sent his divine sense to the door, and could see Du Lingfei standing outside. He was not dressed as he was during the day. She wore a white dress that was not as flashy as her previous clothes, and made it seem like she had returned in the days of the Spirit Stream Sect.

It gave Bai Xiaochun a pause to think. A moment later, he waved his hand, and the door opened, revealing Du Lingfei standing there with a smile on his face.

Their views meet.

They were the same people as them all those years ago. However, on this occasion, Bai Xiaochun chose not to call him ‘boo’.

"It's been a long time" he said. When he saw that Bai Xiaochun was not inclined to say anything in response, he laughed softly and then walked in. Slipping a strand of hair in her ear, she said, "Why didn't you say anything?"

As the moonlight fell towards him from above, it made him appear as smooth as fine jade. There was something beautiful, pure, and holy about her.

When Bai Xiaochun caught the scent of his perfume, his heart started beating a little faster. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to tell the truth. "I don't know what to say."

Seeing that he was still sitting, he sat cross-legged in front of him and placed his hands on his knees.

"Why didn't you tell me about your time in the Wildlands?" he said, not sounding a little upset.

He took a breath, and smelled his perfume again. Then he went on to give a brief overview of his time in the Wildlands, leaving details of his secret identity.

In the end, he looked into his eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "Thank you for the god's soul."

Finally, they fell silent. Although they made a pretty picture, silhouetted against the moonlight, the two felt like strangers to each other.

The sound of the waves surrounded them, seemingly trying to bring them closer, but failed.

After some time had passed, Bai Xiaochun suddenly asked, "Who exactly are you …?"

It was the same question he asked before leaving for the Great Wall. Far away, she tells him that when she returns, she will tell him the truth.

Therefore, he finally decided to just ask a question.

Du Lingfei did not seem surprised at all, as if he had been waiting for him to ask. He did not respond at first, and did not even look at her. But after a while passed, he looked into his eyes.

"Heaven .. is my father."

Although Bai Xiaochun had long suspected that this was the case, to hear the words spoken directly, and to confirm his suspicions, caused waves of emotions to surge in his heart.

He could not control his breathing at first. Despite the fact that he had considered the possibility, now that he knew the truth, there were many things that suddenly made sense.

It made sense why Du Lingfei had a special status in the Starry Sky Dao Polarity Sect. If the rumors were true that the god ancestor ancestors of the four river source sects were Celestial disciples, then it made Du Lingfei their Junior Sister!

With such an identity and background, Du Lingfei had a very unique status in the Heavenspan Realm. She was like a pearl of peerless quality!

However, there are still unanswered questions. As a Heavenly Princess, a person of exceptional standing, what had she done in the Spirit Stream Sect? And why did he appear later in the Blood Flow Sect …?

Such questions popped into his mind, and it raised even more questions. And then, suddenly, he remembered something that made him tremble involuntarily….

He had absorbed the blood hairs from Heaven.

Back when he did, he hesitated. But the Celestial was a very distant figure at that moment, and his hair had been given to him by the gravekeeper. Therefore, he simply prepared himself and went through a plan to absorb it.

But now, she was on the threshold of the Heavenly Door.

"I understand" he thought. "Now it makes sense why the demigod patriarch of the Starry Sky Dao Polarity Sect only let me go with a warning when I caused so much trouble with concocting pills …."

Calming his mind, he asked, "Do you arrange for Hou Xiaomei to be brought here?"

He did not answer the question directly. He just looked at her and smiled, just like he was back in the Luochen Mountains. She got up, walked, and arranged her clothes like a wife would belong to her husband.

Its proximity made the scent of her perfume stronger, and caused her heart to beat faster.

After tidying up his robe, he looked into his eyes, mixed emotions within himself. Soon, Bai Xiaochun could feel that his life was not as happy and carefree as expected considering who he was. In fact, he looked exhausted, and even sad.

The way he looked at her dredged up memories from the past that suddenly caused her to experience it just like she had long since.

"Boo …."

He shivered as his own memories surpassed his. A moment passed, and then he leaned over, placed his lips right next to his ear, and spoke in the softest voice.

"Xiaochun .. be careful .. from Hou Xiaomei."

With that, he looked into his eyes once more, then turned around and disappeared into the air ….
