Chapter 186: The Weight of Inheritance

Ye Shiyuan had once seen a few outfits and felt that Bai He would definitely look good wearing them, so he bought them.

However, he had never had the chance to give them to him.

He originally thought he might never have the opportunity to wear them in this lifetime.

But now, it had solved an urgent problem.

His Master should look beautiful anytime and anywhere.

How could Bai He stay here wearing dirty wrinkled clothes?

After all, they would still be staying here for quite a long period of time.

"Thank you, Shiyuan. I really like it."

Bai He let out a quiet sigh of relief in his heart.

As long as it was not stolen from his room, that was good.

"Host, what kind of misunderstanding do you have about the protagonist’s character? Stealing someone’s clothes like that, how could the protagonist possibly do something like that?"

Bai He slowly shuffled into the inner ice chamber to change clothes and could not help but retort, "Then I also would never have thought that he would actually go and buy clothes."

"Buying a few outfits for a someone he likes is not very normal?"

That did sound quite normal.

After Bai He changed into the outfit, it fit perfectly.

"He actually knows my measurements. I have never even told him."

"Host, you two have hugged so many times already. How could he possibly not know?"

Bai He: ...

He chose to stopped talking.

That might really be the only explanation.

He felt a little embarrassed.

After changing clothes, he walked out of the ice chamber and saw Ye Shiyuan still standing where he was, not having left.

"Host, you are not actually thinking that Ye Shiyuan would peek at you while you change clothes, right?"

Mo Zhu... I had not thought that at all.

"Master looks really beautiful in this outfit."

"Is that so? I just feel it is a little different from my usual style. Is it a bit too flashy?"

Back at the Lingguang Sect, everyone’s clothing was very plain, so his own style had also always been simple and understated.

If he dressed too flamboyantly, would he stand out too much?

But here, that clearly would not be a problem.

"Does Master not like it?"

When Ye Shiyuan bought it at the time, he simply thought it was beautiful and very suitable for Bai He.

He had not considered whether he would like it or not.

What if he did not like it?

"I do not dislike it. I actually like it a lot."

"I thought that after waking up, you would be in a very miserable state. But now, you have completely changed your appearance."

The Cryo Sovereign walked over and glanced at Bai He.

Bai He was speechless.

It was just a change of clothes, not some kind of complete transformation.

Bai He smiled helplessly. "Thank you, Senior, for helping me survive the lightning tribulation."

"You are the successor I have set my eyes on. If the heavens want to take you away, they still need to see whether I agree or not. Ye Shiyuan, you can leave first. Today is not the time for him to rest yet."

In some aspects, the Cryo Sovereign was truly somewhat unfeeling.

Bai He had already gotten used to it.

"Master, I’ll take my leave."

After saying that, Ye Shiyuan finally left.

...

How long had it been?

Bai He could no longer remember exactly how much time had passed.

The system helped him keep track and it had already been about twenty days.

He only knew that he was becoming stronger every day and he did not know anything else.

He raised his head and saw a sky full of stars.

Bai He hugged his knees and his entire figure looking somewhat lonely.

At times like this in the past, Ye Shiyuan would always be by his side.

But today, it was the Cryo Sovereign who came to him.

He had even changed into a different outfit, making his whole presence seem a little more approachable.

After these twenty days, Bai He had gained some understanding of him.

Although his words were harsh, in reality he was also a gentle and kind person.

"Senior."

"It is almost time for us to part ways."

Yes.

Bai He suddenly felt a little reluctant, yet also felt as if something was not quite right, but he could not put it into words.

"Senior, we have come here so abruptly to disturb you. You must find us very annoying."

"In truth, I quite like liveliness. In the past, I also hoped that someone would come often to visit me. But as time passed, I gradually stopped looking forward to it anymore."

"Why?" Bai He did not understand.

The Cryo Sovereign sat down beside Bai He also looking at the stars in the sky.

His entire presence carried a faint sense of sorrow.

"Every time someone comes, someone else dies at my hands."

"That is not your fault. It is because they wanted to inherit your power, but they did not have the ability to do so."

"But it cannot be denied that they all died because of me. Bai He, to be honest, I did not think highly of you at the beginning either. But after only three days, I already knew you were the person I was looking for. And now, I am afraid I have no choice but to say goodbye to you."

From the Cryo Sovereign’s words, Bai He heard another layer of meaning.

"Goodbye?"

"You should not know this. Once all of my power is transferred to you, what my fate will become."

Bai He had never known this.

He only knew that the Cryo Sovereign was urgently searching for someone to inherit his power.

Could transferring his power to someone else also cause harm to himself?

"Senior, what exactly is going on? Could you explain everything to me in detail?"

Bai He suddenly felt a little nervous as if he had done something terribly wrong and was carrying some kind of sin.
