Realms In The Firmament

Chapter 208 – Bing Xin-Yue

Chapter 208 – Bing Xin-Yue

The lady in white stayed quiet after hearing that. She turned around and looked at Wen-Ren Chu-Chu. Yet when she talked again, she was talking to Ye Xiao, “Apparently, you are capable to support Chu-Chu till she needs the Regeneration Jade Lotus... As for the further future, it will all depend on her own achievement.”

“I was planning to kill you. If you said your last sentence a second later, you should be a dead body now.” She spoke casually.

Ye Xiao said with a deep voice, “I know. That was why I said so. However, even if I didn’t say anything, you might still not kill me.”

“I really don’t want you dead at the moment. You are too important!” The lady in white said again.

Ye Xiao sighed, “You have let go of your own life and death long ago. You don’t care about your own life. Indeed, you don’t need my help. However, your disciple, Lady Chu-Chu, will never have a bright future without my help. It is my special gift to have the capability to develop the Regeneration Jade Lotus!

Such gift has made me so important that nobody in the Misty Cloud Palace can look down upon me.”

“The small and elegant body; the cold and clean virginity. The heart will prove to gods that I shall never be in love...” The lady in white sighed. She frowned heavily and said with sadness.

Ye Xiao stayed quiet for a while and then he said, “Those were some phrases that are difficult to understand.”

Wen-Ren Chu-Chu was nervous. She looked at Ye Xiao and then looked at her master. She just didn’t know what she should do. She had totally lost the fierce vigor that she had shown in front of Ye Xiao earlier.

Ye Xiao was quiet for a while and then he said, “I truly don’t understand. Can you explain it please?”

The lady in white sighed and said gently, “Sorry.”

Ye Xiao heard that and felt something was wrong. He was just about to step aside or say something to stop the lady when he suddenly lost sight. A mass of white figure had covered him fully.

And then he felt pain on his head. He then fell to the ground and fainted.

What he had heard before he passed out was Wen-Ren Chu-Chu screaming, “No! Master... No!”

Once he had woken up, he could smell a light fragrance around him.

He didn’t need to open his eyes and he just knew where he was at the moment. It was the residence of Wen-Ren Chu-Chu. It was just the room that he had stayed before when he was captured.

He just smiled bitterly inside his heart.

[It seems I have some special connection with this place. I came in this place twice and I was fainted at both times.

I am just not sure whether I can get out of here alive or not!]

A slim figure was sitting around him silently.

Ye Xiao held his head and sat up. He shouted angrily, “I never said that I didn’t want to come. Did you really have to take me like this? What is wrong with you guys? Are you kidnapping me? Are you forcing me?”

The figure in white turned around quietly and said softly, “Sorry.”

Ye Xiao was annoyed and he said, “It is you.”

In this room, the lady who stayed with Ye Xiao alone was actually not Wen-Ren Chu-Chu. Instead, it was her master, the mysterious lady in white.

The lady nodded and said, “Yes, it is.”

Ye Xiao humphed and said, “You captured me. What? You want me to cure you?”

The lady in white blushed. She showed a sense of anger in her eyes. Apparently, she knew clearly what that ‘cure’ meant to her. She spoke blandly, “I don’t need you to cure me. I didn’t need it. I don’t need it now. I will never need it in the future. I just... I just want to ask you something.”

Ye Xiao nodded and said, “Hmm. You haven’t told me your name yet. Can I have your name please?”

The lady in white answered quietly, “I am Bing Xin-Yue.”

Ye Xiao was shocked when hearing that. His face suddenly turned pale. It recovered soon though. Such a change on the face was truly a rare thing that would happen to the Xiao Monarch. He spoke with a hoarse voice, “Bing Xin-Yue... is a good name.”

Bing Xin-Yue looked at him feeling strange. She asked, “Feng Zhi-Ling, why did your heart beat faster when you heard my name? And why did your face turn so strange. It suddenly lost the color of blood. You calmed yourself down immediately and maybe you think I wouldn’t notice. What? Does my name mean something special for you?”

“Nothing special though.” Ye Xiao took a breath in and smiled, “I have heard about your name before.”

“Oh? Really? From whom did you hear my name?” Bing Xin-Yue’s eyes became strange.

Ye Xiao said, “The Misty Cloud Bing Xin-Yue...”

Bing Xin-Yue spoke lightly, “The Broad Heaven Jun Ying-Lian... Do you know my Sister Jun?”

Ye Xiao was like being stabbed by a needle on his heart. He shook his head and said, “No. I don’t know your Sister Jun.”

Bing Xin-Yue said blandly, “If you know something about the Qing-Yun Realm, it wouldn’t be surprising for me. However, when the two phrases are put together, there must be less than five people who know about it. You, Feng Zhi-Ling, are definitely not included. You shouldn’t be connected to anyone of these five people.”

Ye Xiao spoke bitterly, “You are mistaking me, Lady. I only know the former phrase. The latter one, I only heard it the first time today.”

Bing Xin-Yue said blandly, “That is reasonable. In fact, my Sister Jun didn’t have such name before. She is such a poor lady. For an ungrateful man, she changed her name. However, heh heh...”

She changed her name for an ungrateful man.

Jun Ying-Lian?

Jun referred to whom? And ‘Jun’ should care whom tenderly? [1]

Ye Xiao coughed. He felt that he had a sore throat. He said, “Oh really? That is weird.”

Bing Xin-Yue smiled blandly and stopped the topic. When she looked at Ye Xiao, her eyes were full of some complex emotions.

Ye Xiao felt his heart in pain.

Jun Ying-Lian!

Jun Ying-Lian!

Such a familiar name to him. No matter how many lives he would get reborn, he would never forget this name, the girl and her face.

Ye Xiao sighed inside his heart. Some old memories were suddenly reminded in his heart.

‘I met a little sister lately. She is a bit weak in cultivation at the moment, but she has a good personality. I like her.’

That was what Jun Ying-Lian had told the Xiao Monarch.

‘Her name is Bing Xin-Yue. I love her name. I like her and her personality.’

‘So I started to see her as my sister. We can support each other from now on. Can you do something to strengthen the connection between she and me so that nobody dares to mess with her?’

That was what Jun Ying-Lian had asked the Xiao Monarch.
