16. He might die. Back then, Xiao Qing was twelve years old. When he sought out the Demonic Sect, to the Sect Leader, he was like a toddler just learning to walk standing in front of an adult. Of course, Xiao Qing was no match for the Sect Leader. The man didn’t even draw a weapon—he simply picked Xiao Qing up like a kitten by the scruff of the neck. “I poured all my inner strength into a strike at his wrist. Guess what happened next?” Xiao Qing didn’t really expect Bai Yuanxiu to…- 80.2 K • Completed
- 17. Don’t be in pain anymore… please… Bai Yuanxiu lifted Xiao Qing into his arms—and suddenly felt like he was holding nothing more than a piece of paper. That thought was so ominous it startled him, and he quickly shook it out of his mind. Shifting Xiao Qing to rest in one arm, he gripped his pitch-black refined iron sword in his right hand and brought it down hard on the iron bars in front of him! A tremendous force rebounded up his arm. Pain exploded through his hand, and when he looked…

- 18. Rescued, But Utterly Embarrassed Bai Yuanxiu sat on a protruding rock, staring off at the drifting clouds for what felt like half the day, unmoving. A deliberately loud set of footsteps stopped behind him. After a moment, a sigh followed: “I mean, come on. It’s been ages. Don’t you think you’re overdoing it a little?” Bai Yuanxiu silently turned his head away and focused intently on a squirrel rolling a pinecone nearby. Ye Nanxun’s forehead twitched with frustration at his…

- 19. Confirmed. Bai Yuanxiu pressed on his own leg, then knocked on it twice with a clenched fist. “Didn’t wear enough clothes. A bit chilly.” The middle-aged man nodded. “True enough, it’s just early spring—gets cold when the wind picks up at night.” He was about to continue speaking when Bai Yuanxiu suddenly said, “How about this—can I rent it for just a month first?” “Of course you can! But…” The man hesitated, then asked, “You’re not afraid of… that, are…

- 20. You’re the Idiot! That ghost really was just like the rumors said—floating and eerie, with no visible feet. Bai Yuanxiu was so terrified he nearly lost his soul, but he didn’t dare move recklessly. He kept his nerves taut and stared at the figure, hoping he could at least memorize the ghost’s path this time. He’d heard that vengeful spirits lingered in the places they were most attached to. Some ghosts would even repeatedly reenact the tragic moment of their deaths. Bai Yuanxiu…

- 22. Tell me. Bai Yuanxiu hadn’t expected Zhou Xiaoxiao to say something like that. A trick. Bai Yuanxiu knew that although Xiao Qing often poked fun at him or stirred up trouble, he never spoke without reason. He waited a while, and when he saw the person standing in the shadows remain silent, he sighed heavily in his heart. So stubborn. Glancing at the sky that was beginning to lighten, Bai Yuanxiu figured this wasn’t something that could be explained quickly. So he looked at the…

- 23. The Consequences of Provoking Me The Left Protector of the Demonic Sect was a mystery. Some in the jianghu speculated that the sect deliberately kept his background a secret to ensure that his unparalleled martial arts could truly remain “one of a kind under heaven.” But what they didn’t know was that even within the sect, the Left Protector’s origins were shrouded in mystery. Aside from the Sect Leader, others only knew the tip of the iceberg. That included Bai Yuanxiu. Even before…

- 21. They were all deceived. In truth, according to Yuanxiu’s thinking, it would’ve been best to investigate the massacre of the Zhai family in Nanyang sixteen years ago without letting Xiao Qing know. Although he didn’t know what role Xiao Qing played in that event, he could guess—it was probably not a good memory for him. The capital of Dajing had a curfew, but for martial artists, the city walls were nothing more than a few extra bursts of internal energy to vault over. The imperial…

- 28. I only care about you Feeling the cool touch on his back, Bai Yuanxiu wanted nothing more than to cover his face in shame. How could he react like that? Xiao Qing was just trying to check his injury. How could a single word send his mind spiraling that far? The fleeting coldness on his back made Bai Yuanxiu uncomfortable. His Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed and stammered, “It’s probably not that serious, maybe we—ow—” He winced and yelped in pain before he could even turn…

- 29. Meeting the Parents Bai Yuanxiu stepped forward and shielded Xiao Qing behind him, face cold as he stared at the furious man in front of them. The man’s beard trembled beneath his chin—he was clearly fuming. “In broad daylight—have you no shame!” Faced with this scolding at such close range, Bai Yuanxiu blinked in confusion. “Sorry, and… you are?” That one sentence was like a spark thrown into a barrel of gunpowder—the man’s hair nearly stood on end from rage. “I’m…
