Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 218 Flowers Facing the Sun, Still Planted in Clear Waves

Two streaks of light flashed across the night sky of the capital city.

On the roof of a luxurious inn in the south of the city, three elderly figures suddenly looked up.

"Huh? That's Mr. Bai. Who's next to him? Why does he look so familiar?"

Watching the two figures swagger past, Jia Xingtian's brows furrowed, and he murmured:

"Old man Bing, do you recognize her? I feel like she looks a bit like that woman in the desert, but she doesn't have that signature snake tail?"

After a long silence, and hearing no reply, he turned to look and saw Hai Bodong with his head bowed, seemingly muttering, "You can't see me, you can't see me."

"!" Add Xingtian.

"!" Fama.

The two exchanged a glance, a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes. Judging from the old man's expression, could that woman who had just passed by really be Queen Medusa?

Thinking back to what Hai Bodong said at the Nalan family that night, if it weren't for Xiao Bai being there, his people would have already taken action against the Jia Ma Empire!

Jia Xingtian's expression gradually turned grim, and his vigilance rose to an unprecedented level.

The mysterious Mr. White, Queen Medusa, and the old man from Ice who disappeared more than 20 years ago—are these people gathering in the capital of Gama to overthrow the Gama royal family?

"Old man Bing, for the sake of our long-standing acquaintance, tell me the truth: what are your intentions towards my Gama Empire?"

A deep voice echoed across the empty rooftop. Jia Xingtian looked at Hai Bodong with apprehension, his gaze fixed intently on him.

These few people, with the strength of only Old Man Bing and that Mr. Bai, still have the confidence to fight to the death and at least take one of them down with them.

Now, with the addition of the infamous Snake-People Queen, he feels somewhat overwhelmed!

"No one would have designs on you, they're going to Yun." At this point, Hai Bodong suddenly realized something, his voice abruptly stopping, cursing inwardly:

Damn! I was so nervous just now that I almost blurted out Xiao Bai's purpose.

"cloud"

Jia Xingtian was taken aback, then seemed to understand something. His heart trembled, and a strong joy welled up in his cloudy eyes. He exclaimed in surprise:

"Could their purpose in coming here be the Yunlan Sect?!"

"I didn't say it, you said it yourself!" Hai Bodong rolled his eyes in dejection, plopped down on the roof ridge, and shrugged.

"Yes, yes, yes, it was my guess, it has nothing to do with you!"

Jia Xingtian waved his hand dismissively, his brows unfurrowing, and laughed heartily:

"Haha. Very well, very well. I remember I still owe Mr. Bai a favor. Please tell him that if he needs anything, our royal family will definitely lend a hand!"

Hai Bodong remained silent, glanced at Jia Xingtian who was still laughing uncontrollably, and said sarcastically:

"Is that how you repay a favor? I'm too embarrassed to call you out on it!"

"I'm certainly not just repaying a favor!"

Jia Xingtian ignored Hai Bodong's sarcasm, his gaze sweeping over the two men. Both were leaders of their own factions; their attempts to conceal their true intentions would only invite contempt. He readily nodded in acknowledgment, saying:

"You all probably see the current state of the royal family clearly; it's just this old man of mine holding it together!"

"The Yunlan Sect is becoming increasingly aggressive, making frequent moves in the Jia Ma Empire recently, treating our royal family as nothing. If this continues, a war with them is inevitable!"

"Recently, your Mittel family has suddenly become quite high-profile, almost making me think that the centuries-old foundation of the Gama royal family was about to be destroyed in my hands!"

"And tonight, I can finally get a good night's sleep!"

"hehe."

Hai Bodong glanced at Jia Xingtian, who was letting out a long sigh of relief, and smiled noncommittally. He knew he'd have to see how that woman who had just passed by reacted if he wanted a good night's sleep!

However, he was too lazy to say it out loud. No matter how the world of the Gama Empire changed, it had no effect on him!

"Have you forgotten why you came here tonight?" Fama, who hadn't spoken until now, pointed to the ice mirror beside him and said quietly.

"That's right! I almost forgot about this guy!" Hai Bodong hurriedly stood up, looked at the scene in the ice mirror, and said in surprise:

"Who is this?"

"Yanli, Vice President of the Alchemists' Guild of the Izumo Empire!" Famar stared hatefully at the figure on the ice mirror.

"How dare someone with that kind of status come here? What are you waiting for? Kill him and get out of here!" Frost appeared around them as Hai Bodong glared at Fama with annoyance.

Just then, their gazes sharpened as the figure in the ice mirror looked up and smiled slightly at them.

"Damn it. Too arrogant!" Hai Bodong was furious. How dare a bastard from the Chuyun Empire, with only the cultivation of Dou Ling, provoke three Dou Huangs?

"etc."

Fama stopped Haibodong from making a move, and looked at Yanli, who was looking at them in the ice mirror, and asked in confusion:

"This guy knew we were here, yet he still dared to act like this. He must have some kind of backing. Let's ask him first!"

"Pharaoh, who cares what gives him the confidence? Just kill him and be done with it!"

Jia Xingtian frowned, somewhat dissatisfied with Fama's hesitant way of doing things.

"Fama, I know it's you. Since I dared to come alone, I'm not afraid of you killing me. If you kill me, your Alchemist Guild will be finished!"

"And I'm Lord Bai's person now!"

"Lord Bai?"x3

Upon hearing Yan Li's mocking voice, the three people on the rooftop looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Could the 'Lord Bai' he mentioned be Mr. Bai?" After a moment of silence, Jia Xingtian slowly came to his senses and spoke first.

"Judging from his appearance, he can't be wrong, otherwise why would he be so calm!" Fama's face darkened, wondering why the black-robed youth had instructed him to do this.

"This guy, I invited him to come along, but he didn't tell me!" Hai Bodong's frost slowly dissipated, and he touched his nose sheepishly as he looked at the two people looking at him.

"So what do we do now?"

Feeling that things were getting a bit tricky, Jia Xingtian couldn't help but glance at Fama. That Mr. Bai was related to the vital interests of the royal family, and he was unwilling to offend him because of this!

"Since we can't kill him, let's find someone to keep the champion here and save face for the Alchemists' Guild of the Gama Empire!"

Fama frowned, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke:

"Right now, the only ones who have a chance to compete with them are Yue'er, Liu Ling, and Yan Xiao!"

When Yan Xiao was mentioned, Fama's eyes flickered, and his expression was inscrutable.

Yan Xiao was also someone closely related to Mr. Bai, and he was also in disguise, which made Yan Xiao a little suspicious. Could this person also be here to cause trouble?

Does this Mr. Bai have a grudge against his Alchemist Guild?

"Haha. Pharaoh, for the sake of our old friendship, I advise you, if you really want to preserve the reputation of the Alchemists' Guild of the Gama Empire, you should go find Rock Owl!"

Hai Bodong, who had been silent until now, chuckled and winked, saying:

"He has a trump card; he should be able to meet your requirements. I know what you're worried about, but rest assured, he's definitely from the Gama Empire!"

"And even if that guy fights with his left hand against his right, and this bastard of the Cloud Empire loses, he won't say a word!"

Is this really true?

Fama's eyes lit up. He knew Hai Bodong's character, and his suspicions about Yan Xiao lessened considerably. Without waiting for a reply, he grabbed Yan Xiao and pulled him away.

"Let's go, let's go to your family right now and find that little guy!"

"No, I won't go!" Hai Bodong's expression changed drastically. He shook his head repeatedly, trying to shake off Fama's hand, but the old man held on tightly and wouldn't let go.

"Old man Bing, are you not welcoming this old man?"

Fama's face darkened, and he glared at Hai Bodong with displeasure, angrily saying:

"If it weren't for the reputation of the Alchemists' Guild, do you think I'd want to go to your wretched place?"

"That's right! Old man Bing, it's perfect timing for me to go too, let's deliver the medicinal herbs to Mr. Bai!" Jia Xingtian pulled Hai Bodong from the other side and said with a smile.

"You two old bastards! Let me go! I don't want to go back now!"

Seeing the two men holding him up from the left and right, Hai Bodong was furious, and frost immediately covered his arms.

Pulling his two withered arms, one earthy yellow and the other orange-red, they instantly lit up, fiercely resisting the blue frost, unmoving and unshakable.

"You're not afraid of Queen Medusa, are you?"

"Nonsense! Why would I be afraid of her? I just want to take advantage of the night to wander around somewhere else!"

"The night view is the same every night, we can explore tomorrow!"

"That's different. I might not be in the mood for it tomorrow night!"

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"No problem. I'll keep you company tomorrow night!"

"Get lost! Who the hell wants an old geezer like you to keep me company!"

"."

The sound carried far away on the night wind, growing weaker and weaker until the rooftop fell silent.

On the other side, in a quiet courtyard in the north of the city, the atmosphere was also somewhat peaceful.

A pair of long, narrow, beautiful eyes that hinted at a smile met a pair of deep, dark eyes.

"You really won't let me in?" Xiao Bai's face darkened as he looked at the exquisite and voluptuous body blocking the doorway and gritted his teeth fiercely.

With a gentle wave of her beautiful eyes, Cai Lin smiled radiantly, quietly reaching out her jade-like hand to tuck a strand of black hair that fell to her full, soft breasts. She lightly shook her head, her alluring red lips slowly parting:

"After we're married, you can come in whenever you want, but not now!"

"!" Xiao Bai.

There are too many flaws in this statement. I'm starting to wonder if Queen Baby is making a suggestive joke.

The car wheel ran right over his face!

And then there's the wedding!

Mentioning this gives Xiao Bai a headache. This is a world of cultivation, where lifespan is long, so why rush things!

How can one establish a family before becoming a Dou Di (a powerful figure in the martial arts world)?

Thinking of this, Xiao Bai suddenly lost his mind and waved his hand, saying, "You must be tired after traveling such a long way. Get some rest!"

When you're done, turn around and leave.

Cai Lin was taken aback. She was prepared to deal with his persistent pestering, but she didn't expect him to suddenly become so polite, which made her feel a little uncomfortable!

Gazing at that somewhat lonely figure, she furrowed her brows slightly, swayed her slender waist, and stepped out of the room.

Just as Xiao Bai was thinking of going back to continue studying the pill formula, he suddenly felt something tugging at his robes from behind. When he turned around, a charming and alluring face came into view.

"Are you scared to sleep alone?" Xiao Bai chuckled teasingly.

"Xiao Bai, is something on your mind?"

Ignoring his teasing, Cai Lin gazed at him steadily with her clear, beautiful eyes, a hint of worry in them, and whispered:

"Could you tell me about it?"

Xiao Bai was speechless. What could he possibly have on his mind? If he had anything on his mind, it was that he hoped to become a Dou Di as soon as possible and ascend to the Upper Realm, and he also hoped that the four of them would get along harmoniously.

But neither of these two can be said aloud. If the first one is mentioned, not only Cai Lin, but even Xun'er would probably think he's bragging. As for the second one, if he dares to say it, he might be beaten to death on the spot!

Sigh. Sometimes knowing too much isn't a good thing; in the end, I had to shoulder it all alone!

Xiao Bai almost cried out to the heavens, tears streaming down his face. Looking into those worried, beautiful eyes, he shook his head slightly and smiled:

"What worries could I possibly have? My cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, and I have a soulmate like you to entrust the rest of my life to. My life is perfect, and I am already content!"

"loquacious!"

Cai Lin glared at him, a fleeting tenderness in her eyes, and said irritably:

"We are of one mind; you cannot deceive me. Just a moment ago, you seemed somewhat disheartened!"

"!" Xiao Bai.

Looking at the silly queen in front of him and sensing the worry in her heart, Xiao Bai sighed helplessly. Isn't it normal for a man to feel a little dissatisfying when he can't get what he wants?

Under the moonlight, out of the corner of his eye, Xiao Bai caught a glimpse of a pair of bare feet on the ground that looked cold and aloof. He suddenly slapped his forehead, realizing he had almost forgotten about it.

"I have something for you!"

He pulled her to the stone table next to him, placed his hands on her shoulders to help her sit down, and then knelt down in front of her.

Under Cai Lin's questioning gaze, she reached out and touched something, and a pair of exquisite shoes in gold and red appeared.

"This is... for me?" Cai Lin's cool voice trembled slightly, and a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes.

"Um!"

Nodding, Xiao Bai picked up a slender foot with perfectly curved lines and prominent veins. It was enveloped in battle qi, and was fair, flawless, and spotless.

I couldn't help but play with it for a while, looking at the snow-white bean tips on it, which seemed to curl up slightly as if shy, and I couldn't help but chuckle.

"Hurry up!" A slightly embarrassed and annoyed voice suddenly rang out.

Hearing this, Xiao Bai stopped teasing her and slipped one shoe on. If it weren't for this moment, this woman would probably have kicked him already!

Looking at the man kneeling down to put shoes on her, Cai Lin was stunned. Her red lips pursed slightly, and tenderness welled up in her majestic phoenix eyes.

The fact that he took it directly from his storage ring shows that he had always kept her in his heart and had prepared the shoes for her long ago.

The fact that he didn't feel any discomfort in her feet showed that he was incredibly attentive, understood her so well, and had been preparing to do this all along!

Everyone says she's proud, but she and he can sense each other and know that the man in front of her has pride that runs deep in his bones, but it's just that ordinary people can hardly know it!

And now, this proud man is actually willing to bend down and put on her shoes. Isn't this a manifestation of his deep love for her?

"Alright!" Xiao Bai clapped his hands, stood up, and smiled, "Do you like it?"

Gazing at his handsome face, Cai Lin's eyes were deep and followed his every move. Ignoring her shoes, she stood up from the stone bench, reached out, and a water jug ​​appeared in her hand.

She took Xiao Bai's hands and slowly poured water from the pot onto them. Then she took out a silk handkerchief and gently wiped his hands.

"There's no need for that!"

Looking at Cai Lin, who remained silent and quietly did all this, Xiao Bai shook his head and smiled:

"My queen is always spotless!"

Upon hearing this, Cai Lin paused in her wiping motion, remained silent for a moment, and then spoke in a clear, cold voice, firm and powerful:

"My men should be like sunflowers facing the sun, standing still in clear waters, pure and untouched by dust!"
