[END] Will Eternal

Chapter 923: Just Like Old Times

As Du Lingfei's words rang out in his ears, Bai Xiaochun suddenly became a little stiff. Turning his head, he looked towards where he had just disappeared. Despite the fact that he had used the power of Heavenspan Island to fade away, he could still see a faint shadow of his figure.

He felt like chasing after her to ask more questions, but before he could, he entered the depths of the island.

"What does he mean by that …? I should be careful with Hou Xiaomei? ” The more he thinks about it, the more suspicious it feels. Moreover, he did not know whether he was sincere or not.

Either way, his unease at the fact that Hou Xiaomei had become a special guard at Heavenspan Island had only grown more intense than before.

"Why should I be careful with Hou Xiaomei?" He thought back to when he saw her earlier in the day, and from what he remembered, he did not seem any different from her in the past. And the happiness in his eyes when he saw it seemed real.

However, he could not stop thinking about what Du Lingfei had just said. As he did so, his frustration grew. The truth was that, the entire time he had been on Heavenspan Island so far, he felt uneasy.

After thinking again, he sighed. The best thing to do was to find an opportunity to talk to Hou Xiaomei. Even when he thought of such things, his expression flickered, and he looked up.

A moment later, he saw a beam of light darting through the darkness towards him.

It stopped outside his residence, fused in the form of someone speaking in a sweet sentimental voice.

"Big Bro Xiaochun!"

It was none other than Hou Xiaomei! She was wearing the same long red clothes that she had worn earlier in the day. She was beautiful, her normally bright face with joy, and her eyes sparkled with joy.

Seeing Hou Xiaomei caused the things that Du Lingfei had just said, and the suspicion that they had raised in his heart, to disappear for now. Hou Xiaomei looked exactly like he had before that day, and just as he remembered her from the past. This was the same girl who had stuck so close to him in his early days in the Spirit Stream Sect. She was Xiaomei, and she really was like the perfect girl next door.

In stark contrast to his grim reaction when he saw Du Lingfei, Bai Xiaochun got up and excitedly threw his hands wide. Flashing, he smiled mischievously and said, “For a long time no see, Xiaomei. Come on, hug Grandpa Xiaochunmu! ”

The burst of joyous light that covered his face instantly turned deep red. Then he glared at her angrily, yet, at the same time, rushed over and hugged her, burying her face around her neck.

At first, she did not hug him very hard, but as time passed, and she thought back to how lonely he had been since coming to the island, his grip grew tighter, tighter and tighter, as if he didn't want to let her go. .

When she felt how tightly she hugged him, her evil smile faded into tender affection. He hugged her, stroked her long black hair, and took a deep breath. He smelled very different from Du Lingfei.

He suddenly thought back to when he first looked at Hou Xiaomei. She is the first girl to really catch his attention, though he is always confused about how he feels about her. All he knew just then, he was sure he liked it, even though he didn't know why.

Over the years he had known her, he had seen her actions like chili peppers around others, but it was interesting to him. It always made her feel so good about herself.

As he held Hou Xiaomei, he concluded that there was nothing strange about him. He hasn't changed. He's exactly like before.

As he lay leaning in his arms, he muttered, "Big Bro Xiaochun, after all these years that have passed, I'm not sure if you'll even remember me …."

His mood began to sink.

Bai Xiaochun quickly sat down with him and started telling his story about the Wildlands. He didn't go into all the details, just some of the most interesting parts. Soon, Hou Xiaomei's mood improved, and she even started laughing.

Covering his smile with his hands, he said, “Come. There is no way you rule the devas. ”

Hou Xiaomei laughed. "alright then. I trust you. I do, okay? You are really great! My brother Xiaochun is the most powerful person under the heavens! ”

When Bai Xiaochun heard his laughter and saw the rays in his eyes, his heart suddenly started racing, and he realized that he had been wrong. Hou Xiaomei had changed. His immaturity was gone, replaced by a certain charm and charisma.

"Another vixen!" Bai Xiaochun exclaimed inwardly. "How could I have never seen her before …?" Swallowing hard, he pondered how Hou Xiaomei might really end up surpassing Song Junwan ….

However, the fact that his heart started to beat fast just because he was looking at her was actually rather embarrassing. Clearing his throat, he decided to change the subject, and asked Hou Xiaomei about how he had finally been chosen to go to Heavenspan Island.

He immediately snorted in annoyance.

“What, you think I'm Song Junwan or something? That old crone has been plotting for years to catch you, Sdr. Xiaochun. He might have shown to take care of me, but he used his status as the leader of the Middle Peak Division Blood Peak to defeat me repeatedly! ”

"What?" Bai Xiaochun said in shock. He could not imagine Song Junwan being such a person, and even opened his mouth to try to explain. However, Hou Xiaomei seemed to realize what he was going to do, and continued to speak before he could.

“Sister Xiaochun, you really don't know. Song Junwan's old woman was always showing off every chance she could get. I can't even stand talking to him. As far as he knows, I'm just annoyed!

“Back to the competition to come here, he and I fought in the semi-finals. His cultivation base is higher than mine, and he has won several victories. Even if he loses to me, he still has a chance to continue. But that was my last chance! If I lose, I will go out. Can you believe that he did not show the slightest mercy !? I even explained everything to him, and he still beat me up. ” The more Hou Xiaomei spoke, the angrier she became.

“Thank God, the responsible elder of Heavenspan Island saw something special in me, something that made me match the divine abilities of Heavenspan Island. That was the only reason that in the end, I was chosen, and the old grandmother did not. ” As Hou Xiaomei said all his accusations against Song Junwan, Bai Xiaochun's head began to swell.

From what he knew, Song Junwan and Hou Xiaomei could not see each other….

And apparently, all of them were from the days of the Spirit and Blood Sect, after the war had taken place and the two of them helped take care of him back to health….

He suddenly recalled how the two of them could make medicine for him, and then carefully observed to see which one he would choose. Then his heart trembled as he remembered how, on one occasion, they had waited to see which foot he would use to step out of the door ….

He quickly changed the subject, worried that a bigger problem could arise if the current conversation continued.

Hou Xiaomei was happy to see him, so he did not mind that he changed the subject. She sat down next to him and gently told him about some interesting and funny things that happened when he left.

He also told him some things about Heavenspan Island. Bai Xiaochun smiled, occasionally gasping in praise, and occasionally throwing some of his own belongings. Finally, dawn approached, and Hou Xiaomei reluctantly left.

Soon, the cultivators of the four rivers would go to pay their respects to the Celestials, an important event where Hou Xiaomei had his own duties to attend to.

After seeing Hou Xiaomei leave, Bai Xiaochun took a deep breath and thought back to his visit. No matter how he looked at it, he could not think of anything that looked suspicious at all.

In fact, it made him suspicious of Du Lingfei's words!

"Why did he tell me to be careful with Hou Xiaomei?" No amount of thought brings insight. Finally, the sun came up.

As the first ray of light shone on the golden Heavenspan Sea, the sounds of ancient bells rang out throughout the island ….
