Chapter 43 Reunion

Wu Tian slowly walked to the hot spring, gently lay down, even his ears drooped, looking somewhat tired.

The fight just now didn't last long, but it consumed a lot of physical strength and energy. However, what made him feel tired was not the physical exhaustion.

Instead...murder...

In both his past and present lives, this was the first time he had ever killed someone.

During battle, the hunting instinct stemming from his soul and bloodline allows him to deal with the fight calmly and even indifferently.

He could violently bite off an enemy's throat, or kill calmly, but after the battle, he felt a weariness that came from within.

He did not regret killing these people, nor did he have any mental burden.

Perhaps, it's simply because I was once born a human being...

Now, however, they use their claws and fangs to end one vibrant life after another.

Perhaps there will be more in the future.

Wu Tian lowered his eyes slightly. In this forbidden area, no one would disturb him at will, nor would anyone threaten his safety. He could have a rare moment to rest.

"White Dragon~"

He suddenly heard someone calling him. He felt a little dazed, as if he were dreaming. Was it that senior?

He slowly opened his eyes, but saw nothing. Before him were still the hot springs and forests, a scene of tranquility.

However, at that moment, it seemed as if there were shimmering waves above the hot spring, like a waterfall cascading down and then being split in the middle.

Then a fair and delicate hand appeared...

Wu Tian was stunned; he finally caught a whiff of that familiar scent.

As the hand appeared, a pale blue hem flashed by, and then a pretty young woman stepped out.

Her hair was styled in a double-looped bun, with her jet-black hair hanging straight down to her waist. She wore a light blue horse-face skirt, with a wide and long silk ribbon tied around her slender waist, making her waist appear even more delicate and slender.

She wore a cross-collar jacket made of brocade, which made her already fair and delicate face even more beautiful.

"Bai Long'er..."

The little girl called out, her smile brightening the tranquil lake and mountain scenery.

Before she finished speaking, she started to jog, her skirt swaying like the blue water of a lake, appearing somewhat anxious.

"Bai Long'er!!"

Wu Tian snapped out of his daze and looked at the pretty girl who had appeared in the distance and was running towards him. His previously weary heart felt as if it had been filled with something.

What appeared before him was Chi Limu, who had disappeared for more than a year.

"Woof woof woof~"

He suddenly jumped up, shouting excitedly, and rushed over in an instant.

With a thud, the man and the dog collided head-on.

Wu Tianke has grown much bigger than he did a year ago, and the little girl could no longer hold him. The two of them fell directly into the hot spring.

"Hahaha, Bai Long'er."

"Woof woof woof~"

Chi Limu wrapped her arms around Wu Tian's neck in the water, letting out a silvery laugh, "Hehehe, it tickles a little..."

As they frolicked, the calm hot spring water rippled and dripped onto the little girl's fair face, while Wu Tianxue's white fur was soaked through.

Even the blood on the fur spread in the lake water.

"Bai Long'er, I miss you so much. Do you miss me too?"

"Woof woof woof~"

"Haha, I knew you missed me too." Wu Tian was overjoyed as the little girl hugged his neck.

Upon waking up in this world, the first person he saw was Chi Limu. At that time, he was just an ordinary puppy, while Chi Limu was a pitiful little girl who had lost both her parents.

Every night, the little girl would groom his fur and hold him as they fell asleep. During those early, somewhat bewildered days, it was Chi Limu who gave him a sense of home.

Even the ability to ascend Skull Mountain was due to the Red Wood.

The reason I was able to receive the decree from that senior was because of the Crimson Wood.

The bond between them was already inseparable.

After playing in the spring for a while, Chi Limu brought Wu Tian to the edge of the spring. The moment they stepped ashore, a crimson glow appeared on Chi Limu's body, like flames burning or as splendid as the sunset.

The glow of the sunset lasted only a few breaths, but Chi Limu's originally soaked clothes, wet hair, and water droplets on her skin all disappeared in the glow.

She was completely dry, still the same bright and cheerful young girl.

"Good boy, White Dragon, don't move."

The young girl had Wu Tian lie down beside her and used hot spring water to wash his snow-white, lustrous fur, carefully cleaning away all the bloodstains and dust.

Wu Tian pressed his body close to hers, as if he had returned to the days of a year ago. The lingering depression and exhaustion after the murder gradually dissipated under the girl's gentle caress.

"Bai Long'er, are you alright? Have you been bullied?"

"With so much blood on you, are you injured?"

As Chi Limu gently and meticulously cleaned his fur, he slowly said, "After being brought up the mountain by my master, I entered his cave to cultivate."

"My master is very good to me. She taught me to read and write, taught me cultivation methods, and even prepared clothes for me and combed my hair. She's just like a mother to me..."

"It's just that after a while, it gets a bit stuffy in the cave."

"My master forbids me from going out."

"They said I could only descend the mountain after I had finished casting the tripod."

"But it's so difficult. I just completed the Qi cultivation and physical formation yesterday, and I still don't know how to open the Xuan Guan (mysterious gate)."

"My master just told me to go out and see an old friend."

"Hehe, I really didn't expect it to be you."

"Bai Long'er, I'm so happy..."

Wu Tian listened to the little girl's rambling, as she recounted everything that had happened over the past year, one by one, in great detail.

Listening to her talk about her happiness and her sorrows...

However, she kept smiling when talking about these things, which shows that the senior was really good to her.

Wu Tian felt somewhat relieved, but at that moment, he suddenly felt the originally calm spiritual energy of heaven and earth from all directions suddenly converging on this place like raging waves.

The endless fire elemental energy was like a tidal wave that blotted out the sky, or a raging fire that swept everything away, dazzling, magnificent, and scorching, instantly obscuring the entire canyon.

Keng!
Wu Tian seemed to hear a clear and melodious sword cry, which seemed to be mixed with the roar of a dragon, making him feel a tremor.

He subconsciously turned his head to look at the Red Tree.

Then, a crimson glow shot into the sky above the top of the Red Dewwood, accompanied by boiling heaven and earth essence and dazzling cloud light, and an ancient sword slowly emerged from its top.

Her body resembled a sword sheath, while the ancient sword was drawn out inch by inch.

When the ancient sword was fully drawn, the blade hummed, as if a dragon was coiling and roaring on the blade.

In an instant, the wind and clouds stirred for ten miles, fiery clouds covered the sky, sword light tore through the heavens, and the roar of a dragon resounded in all directions.

In a casual conversation, Chi Limu broke through the barrier of mystery one day.
