These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

……

76. I don't care about the big picture; I only care about Wei Tu.

Looking at the corpse on the ground, Wei Tu sheathed his sword.

The white clothes were soaked by the rain, clinging to the chest and slightly revealing the muscle lines underneath.

The girl in the white dress beside him, however, had no time to pay attention to any of this.

When she saw the skull mask, the anger that welled up inside her was almost uncontrollable.

"It's them..."

Wei Tu squatted down and tried to find something on the corpse.

But all they received was a slip of paper with strange characters drawn on it.

"what is this?"

Bai Youwei took the note.

"This is an order...this is the script used exclusively in the Northern Desert."

"What's written on it?"

Wei Tu looked at Bai Youwei.

He didn't actually intend for the other party to tell the truth, because in his view, all of this information was about her, and it was the most rational choice for her to hide it.

But unexpectedly, the girl glanced at Wei Tu and then said in a deep voice.

"The meaning is simple: kill everyone you encounter in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain. Including me, make sure I can't return to the Northern Desert."

Wei Tu looked at Bai Youwei, but couldn't manage a smile.

"All of this started because of me..."

Bai Youwei gripped the sword, exuding an aura of deathly resolve, appearing dejected yet harboring deep-seated anger.

"It's no use saying all this now. Since those people came with the intention of silencing us, all the disciples are in danger. There's no time to lose."

"...Although I really want to ask you when you would do something that puts your own safety at risk for the sake of others, it seems that I don't have the right to ask that now."

As Bai Youwei uttered those words, the two walked through the rain, countless raindrops shattering the leaves.

Large, heavy stones are falling, seemingly threatening to engulf the world, relentlessly.

"You believe you have a responsibility for their safety."

Wei Tu walked beside him, and the two began to follow the trail.

They needed to quickly locate the enemy's main force. They seemed to have no plan and could only act according to circumstances, but they knew that they could no longer remain indifferent to these matters.

Bai Youwei nodded.

"Of course, if it weren't for me, this undeserved disaster wouldn't have happened..."

"Since they followed you here, and may even have been lying in ambush beforehand, why did you reveal your identity?"

Bai Youwei paused, seemingly only now beginning to consider this issue.

Raindrops dripped from her hair down to her chest, accentuating the woman's graceful curves.

She shook her head in pain.

"I don't know, I don't know now... and I don't want to think about it right now."

“If there’s a first time, there will be a second. You still don’t want to think about it. Do you want to wait until a real disaster strikes before you start thinking about it? If you want to survive, if you want to survive in this kind of situation, you must think constantly about who is hostile to you, who might do such a thing, and who you should be wary of, instead of living in a daze and just getting by day by day. Of course, if what you’re saying about revenge is just for show, and you don’t want to live, then disregard what I said.”

"..."

Bai Youwei turned her head to look at Wei Tu.

"Do you think this is a simple matter? Is this the kind of life I want to live? Before, I thought I was just an ordinary child. Why did I have to accept those messages for no reason? Why did the floodgates of hatred open in my mind!"

Therefore, I have to be wary and cautious of everyone around me!

You can talk so easily, you can all be so relaxed, but I feel like I'm fighting against the whole world! I've put in so much effort, yet I still feel so vulnerable in the face of reality!

I'm not even as good as you! I can't compare to anyone, yet this burden weighs me down every day, making it hard to breathe! I wish I could die here! Die with everyone else!

Raindrops fell on her face.

My eyes are a little red.

It's hard to tell whether the emotion on that cold, beautiful face is from rain, tears, or a mixture of both.

She looked into her own eyes.

It seems that at this moment, all emotions can only be vented on oneself.

It seemed that no one else was listening to her.

Wei Tu's expression remained unchanged.

He simply looked into her eyes.

"Never mind...you wouldn't know any of this anyway..."

The girl lowered her eyes as Wei Tu passed by her, disappointing her. The young man holding the long sword left behind only one sentence that Bai Youwei would ponder for a long time.

"We cannot choose our birth, but we can choose the path we take. No one forces you to take a certain path, and you can give up if you want to. Just don't do it on a whim, but think it through carefully."

The two continued walking in the heavy rain.

They let the rain soak their shoulders.

Speechless all the way.

After a long time, the two passed through a jungle and saw a hill in front of them.

At this moment, Bai Youwei couldn't help but say something.

I apologize for having no reason to be angry with you before.

Wei Tu nodded.

“I know that men often become tools for venting their emotions when they are alone with each other, but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that.”

Bai Youwei felt a little annoyed, as if she were saying that she did it on purpose.

She took a deep breath.

“These people are targeting us, so as long as I'm there, the others will feel a little safer.”

"You mean you're willing to trade your life for the lives of others? If that's really the case, I admire your courage and agree with your decision. But it's not that simple. They'll kill everyone else here to silence them."

That bastard... he really doesn't care about his own life or death at all!

Despite thinking this way, Bai Youwei still decided to say it.

"That's not what I wanted to say. What I really wanted to say is that you can choose to leave and hide. I don't think any of my three senior uncles would be unable to send a message through the transmission stone to tell the sect what's happening here, so reinforcements will be back soon. I'll hold them off... and try to buy them as much time as possible."

How to drag it out?

Wei Tu looked at the girl who seemed to be starting to use her brain.

Bai Youwei said softly, "I will appear in front of them, then run away, luring them to chase me. I will run deep into the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains. Then they will have to deal with not only me, but also other demonic beasts. My chances of survival will be much greater, and they won't have the energy to care about the other disciples..."

Wei Tu smiled.

In the gradually weakening rain, his smile had a hazy quality, even a bit mesmerizing.

"That's well said, but you can't do it."

"I can do it!"

Bai Youwei looked at Wei Tu stubbornly.

Wei Tu shook his head again.

"It's best not to say these things when I've decided to fight alongside you."

"Oh……"

What the heck... He's clearly just saying one thing and meaning another; he still cares about whether I live or die!

The woman, feeling somewhat lighter, was about to say something when she suddenly heard the boy beside her whisper something.

"Shh...they're just ahead."

-

"Lu Qingyan! What are you doing!"

Inside the Treasure Light Hall, all the disciples and elders above the Dragon Slayer Realm gathered together.

Ran Xinxue stopped the aloof and beautiful woman who was about to leave Baoguang Hall.

Lu Qingyan turned slightly to the side, staring coldly at Ran Xinxue.

"I'm going to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain."

Ran Xinxue said in a deep voice, "I know you're in a hurry! But since the visitors are members of the demonic path from the Northern Desert Demon Realm, this matter requires planning! We need to minimize our losses!"

Lu Qingyan gripped her sword, completely ignoring the situation.

"How to minimize the losses is your business. All I know is that Wei Tu is there, and my disciple is there."

"Lu Qingyan! You must consider the bigger picture!"

Lu Qingyan turned around and raised her sword directly at everyone.

Cold and aloof.

"Don't talk to me about the big picture, I don't care about the big picture. I only care about the present, right now. My disciple Wei Tu is there, facing the demons, and his life is in danger. And I... can't let him die there."

……

77 Go to hell!
