Chapter 1523: He Still Came

Ever since Jing Jia was injured, his vitality was damaged, and the originally wild-natured Divine Beasts in the Heavenly Court began to flee.

Over the years, many have been gradually captured and returned, but there are still some Divine Beasts at large.

This time, Bai Zhi’er is personally going to Caiyun Mountain to capture the runaway Fu Niu.

Ordinarily, she would assign this task to a formidable War General.

But Bai Zhi’er desperately needed to do something to divert her attention.

To make her avoid thinking about Feng Fuce.

Therefore, she went alone this time, treating it as an excursion.

Caiyun Mountain is not as beautiful as its name suggests, but rather grows on a strange island beyond the Three Realms.

The weather here is treacherous, sometimes with torrential rain, sometimes heavy snow, extremely harsh.

Due to the lack of sunlight on the mountain year-round, some places are filled with toxic miasma.

Bai Zhi’er arrived and walked up the mountain path, everywhere surrounded by faintly misty peaks.

She hadn’t walked far when the skies began to snow.

Bai Zhi’er suddenly heard an unusual commotion, and immediately became alert.

Suddenly!

A giant dark shadow attacked her from behind, and she swiftly sidestepped to evade.

A bull, three times the height of a person, brushed past her.

Having missed its target, instead of running away, the bull turned around and gathered energy to charge at Bai Zhi’er again.

Originally, the Fu Niu was golden all over, but perhaps after years of wandering, it has been tainted by evil spirit; now its fur is pitch black, eyes blood red, staring at Bai Zhi’er with hostility, its spiritual nature long lost.

Bai Zhi’er stood upright, flung her sleeves to confront, her tone firm: "Instead of being a Divine Beast, you come to such a place to be an Evil Spirit!"

"Today, I’m taking you back and giving you a good cleansing!"

With that said, her Immortal Silk flew out suddenly to battle with the Fu Niu.

Unexpectedly, the Fu Niu had already devised its own cultivation method!

With a loud "moo," it immediately produced dozens of avatars, encircling Bai Zhi’er in a circle!

All the Fu Niu’s sharp horns were pointed at Bai Zhi’er, charging towards her with immense force!

Before Bai Zhi’er could react, a swift, cold figure suddenly swooped overhead.

Feng Fuce reached out and grabbed her collar, instantly pulling her away from danger.

Then, he formed a red cloud in his palm, seeing his intent to kill, Bai Zhi’er quickly said: "Don’t kill it!"

Feng Fuce gave her a cold look but eventually relented.

He pulled her to a safe place, Bai Zhi’er looked back and saw that the Fu Niu had taken the opportunity to escape!

It used the Earth Escape Technique, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Bai Zhi’er felt somewhat discouraged: "You shouldn’t have appeared so rashly. It’s very cunning and hard to catch. It’s escaped this time, and who knows when it will appear next time."

Feng Fuce’s lips were slightly pursed, he said: "It’s easy to catch, its aura — Demons can track it."

Bai Zhi’er looked up at him: "No need for your help, you should go back. I can handle it myself."

With these words, she walked forward.

However, the skies were uncooperative, and heavy rain fell.

The rain on Caiyun Mountain was always like drumbeats, and if one didn’t find shelter, the bean-sized raindrops would hurt when they hit.

Thus, Feng Fuce pulled Bai Zhi’er to a nearby cave.

Bai Zhi’er struggled a few times, but unsuccessfully, so she let him lead her.

Once inside the cave, the first thing they did was use mana to dry their clothes.

Bai Zhi’er found a stone to sit on, without looking up at him.

Feng Fuce walked up to her.

Before he came, he had thought of many ways to communicate with her.

However, he realized that when he saw Bai Zhi’er, all those pre-prepared words vanished from his mind.

He only wanted to be sincere with her.

"I have inquired; you need to maintain the mana of the Linglong Lamp, so you dare not indulge in love, because I am bloodlined as a Demon, Heavenly Demons are forbidden to fall in love. You fear impacting the Linglong Lamp, thereby affecting the Three Realms, right?"

Bai Zhi’er froze all over.
