Witnessing that Yun Yang was at a disadvantage, Ji Lingxi took an unhesitant step right in front of him and raised her palm to pound at the lady in white. The shockwave that followed her strike was intimidating, as, after the breakthrough, Ji Lingxi’s cultivation base was almost paramount in the world.
The power of the strike was unstoppable. Even if it had been a pinnacle of this realm like Ling Xiaozui, Dugu Chou or Mr. Nian, they might not have dared to tackle it head-on!
In spite of this, the lady kept her faint smile as she gently raised her hand to block the attack.
Two delicate hands collided in the air with a loud screech.
Ji Lingxi felt an aggressive surge of energy that she could not withhold. There was simply no room to fight back. In spite of it, Ji Lingxi was relieved instead when the strike failed.
‘You have been tricked!’
‘I’m not really using my palm strike to fight you - I’m using the red light!’
Taking in how the other party could easily and casually break Yun Yang’s unique skill, Ji Lingxi was quite sure that she could never rival her. Since it could not be done, she would go along another route and cheat, using her red light.
The lady clad in white gave an amused smile and continued to increase her strength.
A beam of red light then emerged, as expected.
Ji Lingxi retreated two steps and looked at the lady in white rather triumphantly. ‘Even when your beauty is absolutely envy-worthy, you will eventually have to succumb to me…’
This was most probably the only time in Ji Lingxi’s life that she did not loathe the red light all that much. The fact that the red light was overwhelmingly tyrannical was deeply planted in her heart. The unrivaled dominance had never failed once to this day, so even when the lady in front of her and Yun Yang was unexpectedly masterful, so much so that her proficient cultivation base exceeded their knowledge, she would not be an exception to the flawless record.
Ji Lingxi was incredibly certain that her plot was accomplished. What awaited was only the extent of its success!
When the next moment came, however, her mouth was agape in shock.
The lady in white was still at ease in the glare of the red light. With a gentle smile, her delicate finger made a light tap and she caught the crimson ray with her palm.
She had caught the deadly light in her hand!
Ji Lingxi’s eyes bulged.
What was going on? How was this possible?
Where was the tyrannical force? Where was its invincibility?
The corners of the white-gowned lady’s lips went up as she said, “This stuff must have taken your father some energy… That’s a lot of effort! Ah, the love of parents…”
With a wave of her hand, she sent the red light back into Ji Lingxi’s body.
Ji Lingxi was still dumbfounded, losing any sense of recognition towards what was happening.
She was truly terrified. She could not understand how the guarding red light that had always been indomitable had suddenly gone astray today. It did not make sense!
The lady smiled again and dissolved the restraints on Yun Yang with another wave of her hand, saying, “Why are you children so surprised? Why show off your ace cards so blatantly? I don’t have any ill intentions - I just wanted to see the both of you along my way.”
“See both of us along the way? Only?” Yun Yang was sensitively aware of the hidden meaning in her words. “You know us? Or maybe you know our elders?”
The lady smiled and answered softly, “Knowing or not is only a matter of time.”
Yun Yang was then conscious of the fact that this white-clad lady in front of them was an extremely significant figure. If his prediction was correct, she could possibly be on the same level of omnipotence as his mysterious ‘aunt’!
He had manifested into wind and cloud but had been easily caught and restrained while Ji Lingxi’s red light that had never missed was subdued as easily. This paramount power was unimaginably terrifying…
Ji Lingxi asked, “Then, who are you?”
“My surname is May. You can call me Aunt May. Let’s see, you too,” replied the lady. The latter part of her answer was directed at Yun Yang.
Another aunt indeed. Then, paramount power was no longer an adequate description of this lady’s level. It should probably be called…a force of the universe?
Yun Yang had a vague idea about this, as well as a very odd thought - why did the universe’s forces all consist of females? Could the Yin overpower Yang there?
Aunt May, who was dressed in white, waved her hands again, taking away the restraints on Fang Mofei and Bai Yixue, before she spoke warmly, “Come, come, chat with me, the both of you. Let me see what you fellows have learned. This world’s withstanding limit is above my expectation, but my time here is still limited. Try to pick what’s crucial to talk about.”
Ji Lingxi started hesitantly. “Aunt - aunt May… do you… know my father?”
“Hmm… Perhaps… I guess?” The lady lifted one of her eyebrows and answered with an amused smile.
Yun Yang’s mind worked quickly, recognizing that the answer could be read between the lines, but Ji Lingxi did not think more of it as she continued to speak, gritting her teeth, “What’s that old bastard’s name?”
The lady in white was taken aback instantly. No matter how ethereal and clever she was, she had never expected a daughter to curse, with the target being her biological father. Right away, the lady laughed animatedly as she answered, “Old bastard… This nickname matches your father’s character indeed! Perfectly so, in fact…”
She was thoroughly tickled.
Blushing, Ji Lingxi continued. “Can you tell me his name please? And who was my mother? Is she… still here?”
The lady answered, “Don’t worry. Your parents are well. They miss you every day too actually but it’s inconvenient for them to visit you for now. They have… ineffable difficulties.”
“What difficulties? Could they… have been captured by someone?” Ji Lingxi panicked at once.
The girl’s imagination went wild then. Suddenly, her eyes were rimmed red as she said, “Is it… is it because my parents met an indomitable danger? Have they been attacked and captured? Before they were held captive, they tossed my brother and I out with the last of their cultivation base. That’s why we…”
The white-gowned lady’s eyes went wider and wider as her mouth was almost agape. She looked shocked without any grace, most probably stunned by Ji Lingxi’s wild imagination.
Powerful as she was, however, she retracted her surprise swiftly and continuously nodded. She actually forced out a sigh and said, “Your prediction… is rather off… but your parents… aren’t really living their best days now. That much is true. Enemies are everywhere, danger lurking all around them.”
‘Of course, your parents are having a hard time. I hear that your father is being attacked by his brothers now. There are really enemies everywhere, with lurking danger… He’s being beaten up daily like it’s a routine.’
