Chapter 425: Life was Hard to Predic (1/2)
t
Tang Doudou gave a light humph. ”Then why are you talking so much? Since you suspect that I'm not Li Xueyi, why didn't you just kill me?”
Bai Feiyun didn't speak.
Tang Doudou continued, ”Or is it that you want to find the real Li Xueyi through me?”
Bai Feiyun looked up.
Tang Doudou laughed coldly. ”Then I can tell you right now that in this lifetime, the next lifetime… you'll never find her again!”
Bai Feiyun abruptly stood up. His gaze which had always been gentle now turned sinister. ”What have you done to her?”
”What could I do to her? Bai gongzi must've forgotten that the Li Xueyi you guys speak of has extremely high martial arts and is very intelligent. Meanwhile, I'm just an ordinary person who's only skilled in culinary arts. What could I possibly do to her?” replied Tang Doudou with a scornful laugh.
Bai Feiyun looked at her hard as if he was trying to find a crack in her act.
Tang Doudou wasn't worried and just gazed back at him calmly. All of her words were true. There was no way that Bai Feiyun could find the real Li Xueyi, because she was already dead. She hadn't done anything to Li Xueyi either. If they wanted to know what happened to Li Xueyi, their only choice was to head to the underworld to ask her in person. And more importantly, in this world, she was Li Xueyi, and Li Xueyi was her.
After so many gradual influences, she herself had come to accept this identity. However, unexpectedly, the person who had been the most convinced that she was Li Xueyi was now suspecting her of not being Li Xueyi.
Life was truly hard to predict.
The two kept looking at each other for a long time. Even the moonlight seemed to dim. The sky was gradually covered by clouds and not even the mass curtain of stars could chase away the surrounding darkness.
Tang Doudou could faintly sense that Bai Feiyun was approaching her. Puzzlement flashed through her eyes. What was he about to do?
”I'll believe you this once.” Bai Feiyun leaned over her ear and said this emotionlessly.
Afterwards, he didn't wait for Tang Doudou to react and sealed her voice again with a couple taps before lifting her in a princess carry and jumping down the cliff. Without the moon, the surroundings were pitch black. All Tang Doudou could hear was the urgent whistle of the wind. She didn't know how fast they were falling, but after a few moments, they stopped.
Tang Doudou opened her eyes and found that they were already back at the courtyard.
However, she soon realized that Bai Feiyun had been forced to stop. Otherwise, at this time she would already be lying back on the bed.
Who was it?
She then sensed the familiar gaze and her eyes felt hot with tears. She wanted to call out that person's name, but she couldn't make any sound.
”Oh, Bai gongzi?” The light remark contained an extremely cold chill. Baili Yu had come out from the courtyard. When he saw that Bai Feiyun was carrying Tang Doudou and that there were tears on her face, a trace of murderous intent flashed through his eyes.
Bai Feiyun could sense the murderous intent. He knew that he wasn't a match for Baili Yu, but he also wasn't scared. Even as Baili Yu glared at him, he continued walking towards the courtyard.
However, after a few steps, he was forced to stop. He looked down and saw that Baili Yu's Three Thousand Overlooking Blossoms had wrapped around his legs. They seemed to have the intention of continuing upwards.
He said mildly, ”Resplendent Prince, if you want her to die, you can go ahead and take my life.”
Baili Yu's eyes narrowed and he stared at him for a while before finally waving his hand. The flower petals floating in the air instantly turned to dust. ”Put her down and I'll let you go.”
Bai Feiyun laughed, but he did place Tang Doudou on the ground. Once he got back up, he said, ”Resplendent Prince has always kept his word, so I'll give the person back to you. Farewell!”
When Baili Yu saw that he had placed Tang Doudou down, he immediately moved over and pulled Tang Doudou into his arms. After a few taps, Tang Doudou was released from the seal and she started crying while burying her face into his arm. Her body shuddered with her sobs.
Baili Yu's heart softened and he felt strong self-blame. ”Doudou…”
”l'm fine, so don't blame yourself. Big evil spirit, you should know that you're just a person, not a god. The fact that I encountered danger has nothing to do with you. You've already done very well!”
After Tang Doudou said this, she wiped her tears off on his clothes. She saw Bai Feiyun turn away out of the corner of her eye and abruptly recalled how much pain Jun Xin had been in just before he died. She gritted her teeth and said to Baili Yu, ”We can't let him go!”
Bai Feiyun stiffened, but he quickly reacted and moved to fly away.
However, Baili Yu was faster than him and moved in front in the blink of an eye. Blood Satan appeared and made a harsh red arc in the night air. Bai Feiyun hastily retreated, but was still a step late. His waist was cut and blood instantly soaked through his white outer garment, dying it with blossoms of blood.
He still managed to quickly get away from Baili Yu and landed in the forest. Baili Yu made to follow him, but someone suddenly ran out from inside. It was Cang Baicao. After he came out, he shouted towards Baili Yu, ”Stop wasting time! No matter what, let's deal with the main matter first, alright?”
When Bai Feiyun heard his voice, he turned back to glance towards Cang Baicao for a long moment, then quickly left while Baili Yu and Tang Doudou were still hesitating.
