We said we would experience life, fairy, how did you become real?

But others still can't see it.

Fighting with others in this way can send them the wrong message.

Another year and a half has passed.

When Xiao Mo was fifteen years old, he had already opened up three cave dwellings.

Bai Ruxue used the Water Dragon Pearl and the Azure Sea Wooden Sword to guard the three caves inside Xiao Mo's body.

Over the past few years, the relationship between humans and demons seems to have eased considerably.

At least there wasn't that tense atmosphere.

However, the defenses in Beihai have not been relaxed.

Xiao Mo wasn't sure if the relationship between humans and demons had truly eased, or if they were merely maintaining a facade of peace.

Xiao Mo prefers the latter.

But all of this seems to have nothing to do with such a remote fishing village in the State of Chu.

Bai Ruxue often took Xiao Mo to hunt magical beasts in the North Sea, and often brought Xiao Mo to the North Sea Dragon Palace, where the seven dragon kings of the North Sea took turns serving as Xiao Mo's sparring partners.

Although the seven dragon kings did not have a good impression of the human race, if it weren't for Bai Ruxue keeping them in check, given their hatred for humans, they would have long since defected to the demon race.

However, they grew to like Xiao Mo, this young man, even more.

Once, after accompanying Xiao Mo in training, a female dragon named "June" suddenly had a whimsical idea: she let Xiao Mo ride on her back and took him for a drive.

However, it wasn't long before Bai Ruxue discovered it.

Bai Ruxue stood before Liu Yue, her expression gloomy, her eyes as cold as the deepest abyss.

June was startled and quickly transformed into human form to apologize to her emperor, even though she didn't know what she had done wrong.

After that, June rarely had time to accompany Xiao Mo during training.

Even when she finally had a chance to spar with Xiao Mo in June, Bai Ruxue would stand by her side, watching her every moment.

I don't know if it's just my imagination in June.

She always felt that His Majesty was protecting his food.

Bai Ruxue and Xiao Mo weaved through the heavy clouds.

Wandering around one island after another.

We went treasure hunting in some parts of Beihai.

For Bai Ruxue, such days felt like a dream.

However, Xiao Mo never forgot one thing: to help Ru Xue transform into a dragon.

This is not just for myself, but also for Ru Xue.

In this world, the Immortal Realm is enough, but it's not enough either.

Only when you reach the Ascension Realm can you truly transcend the world, and everyone will have to defer to you; only then can you be considered truly safe.

As time went by, Xiao Mo's cultivation level rose higher and higher, and his height naturally increased as well.

Every year, the markings on the wooden door would rise one mark higher.

Before anyone knew it, the little boy who was only as tall as a snow-white thigh had grown into a young man who was five feet three inches tall.

Xiao Mo's appearance is becoming more and more similar to his previous life, with almost no difference.

Xiao Mo also noticed that Ru Xue would sometimes stare at him blankly, her peach blossom eyes seeming to be reminiscing about something.

But Xiao Mo pretended not to know anything.

It was the evening of mid-July in the thirtieth year of the Yongning era of the Chu Kingdom.

Three hundred miles north of Huanyu Village, a man standing five feet five inches tall stood on the sea.

Before the man, a two-headed sea serpent, twenty feet long, opened its blood-red maw and roared at him.

The man remained motionless, simply watching the sea snake.

He held a wooden sword in his hand.

"hiss!!!"

The sea serpent roared and pounced on the man.

Behind the man, dark spiritual energy gradually condensed into a long, dark dragon.

"Hooo!"

The dark dragon bit down on the body of the two-headed sea serpent.

The next moment, the man took a step forward, a flash of dark sword light appeared, and the two snake heads rolled onto the sea surface. The corpse sank to the bottom of the sea, and countless fish and sea beasts rushed towards the corpse, greedily eating the flesh and blood of the two-headed sea serpent.

"It seems the early stage of the Dragon Gate Realm has truly reached its limit."

The man looked at the long sword he had sheathed and couldn't help but sigh.

Just as I thought, even though Xue had countless resources at her disposal, I still needed to pursue my studies to break through the barriers of Confucianism and Taoism.

I heard that Bailu Academy is recruiting students in Beihai Prefecture, so I might as well give it a try.

"Xiao Mo!"

Just as Xiao Mo was lost in thought, a light and cheerful voice came from behind her.

Xiao Mo turned around and saw a woman in a white dress waving her snow-white arm at him: "Xiao Mo, it's getting late, it's time to go back for dinner."

"coming."

Xiao Mo responded and flew towards the woman. The two flew back to the fishing village together.

Back in the courtyard, Bai Ruxue brought out plates of dishes.

Dishes include Osmanthus Chicken, Braised Pork Knuckle, Braised Shrimp, Garlic Lobster, and Jade Abalone Congee, among others.

"Sister Bai, what day is it today? Why is there such a lavish feast?" Xiao Mo asked with a smile.

"What do you think?" Bai Ruxue gave Xiao Mo a playful glare. "Today is your eighteenth birthday. After today, Xiao Mo, you'll be an adult."

"."

Hearing Ru Xue's words, Xiao Mo was stunned for a moment.

So, this second life has already lasted so many years?

"Xiaoqing will be here soon, but before she arrives, I'll give you a gift, Xiaomo." Bai Ruxue handed Xiaomo a box. "Open it and take a look."

Xiao Mo opened the box, inside was a Confucian blue robe.

"This blue robe was made by my sister herself. Try it on and see if it fits," Bai Ruxue said expectantly.

"Okay, then I'll give it a try."

Xiao Mo entered the room and changed into a blue robe.

A moment later, when Bai Ruxue saw Xiao Mo, dressed in a blue robe, walking towards her, her eyes widened in surprise.

"Sister Bai, what's wrong?" Xiao Mo walked up to Bai Ruxue.

"It's nothing." After a long while, the woman finally reacted, shook her head, reached out to straighten his collar, and said in a gentle tone, "It fits quite well."

Xiao Mo smiled and said, "What Sister Bai made will naturally fit perfectly."

"That... Xiao Mo."

"Ok?"

Bai Ruxue raised her head and looked at the man in front of her: "From today onwards, you have grown up. I have a request for you. Will you grant it?"

"Sister Bai, please tell me," Xiao Mo nodded.

"Now that you're not a little kid anymore, I won't call you Xiao Mo anymore, and Xiao Mo, please don't call me sister anymore, okay?"

"Then what should I call Sister Bai?" Xiao Mo asked.

"Ru Xue." Bai Ru Xue stared at the man in front of her, "From now on, we will address each other by our names. I will call you Xiao Mo, and you will call me Ru Xue."

"This"

"What's wrong? No... is it not allowed?" Bai Ruxue's expression was somewhat flustered.

"It's not impossible," Xiao Mo agreed.

Bai Ruxue clenched her small hands tightly: "Then, then say it and let me hear it."

Xiao Mo looked directly into the woman's eyes: "Ru Xue."

Hearing Xiao Mo call her name, Bai Ruxue's heart trembled slightly. She hugged her chest with her small hands, and her heartbeat quickened.

"Could you say it one more time?"

"Of course, but I remembered a passage I read in a vernacular novel."

Xiao Mo smiled, took Bai Ruxue's hand and sat her down on the stone bench, then walked out of the courtyard.

Bai Ruxue blinked, wondering what Xiao Mo was going to do.

She watched as Xiao Mo walked further and further away until he disappeared at the end of the path.

Just as Bai Ruxue was about to stand up, wanting to go find Xiao Mo...

Dressed in a blue robe, he reappeared on the path, walking step by step toward the courtyard.

As the sun set, the crimson sunset painted the sky and landed on the ground, as if dressing everything in red, or like a brush dipped in vermilion, outlining a faint silhouette on the man's body.

Bai Ruxue was in a daze, as if she were not in a fishing village.

It was a small courtyard in Shiqiao Village three thousand years ago.

He returned from his studies as usual.

"Ru Xue." Xiao Mo stood outside the courtyard gate and called softly to the woman who had been waiting in the courtyard for an unknown amount of time, "I'm back."

Bai Ruxue sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, clutching her skirt tightly, her swaying eyes seemingly veiled in a misty haze.

After a long, long time, the woman stood up, smiled with her eyes crinkling, and even the crimson clouds in the sky seemed to lose their color:

"you are back."

Chapter 100 I need to know everything about her life!

The residence of the Minister of Rites of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Early in the morning, Yan Ruxue had just woken up and stepped out of her room when she saw her maid Xiaochun carrying a basin of water toward her.

"Miss, you're awake! I was just about to wake you up to wash up." Xiaochun placed a basin of warm water on the stone table in the courtyard.

Is there anything special happening today?

Yan Ruxue smiled.

Normally, Xiaochun wouldn't wake herself up, let alone this early.

"Miss, have you forgotten? Yesterday, Madam said that she would go with you to Baideng Temple to pray for blessings."

"Yes, that's true. I'd forgotten about it."

Yan Ruxue remembered that her mother was a Buddhist and would often go to Baideng Temple to pray.

In particular, her mother heard that the Buddhist nun from Lei Ruo Temple in the Western Regions had traveled the world and had arrived at Bai Deng Temple.

Mother's trip to Baideng Temple this time was not only to pray for His Majesty with me, but also to meet that Buddhist nun who had a profound understanding of Buddhism.

Since ancient times, in the entire world of Buddhism, there have been no women, only men.

But this Buddhist nun was an exception.

It is said that she has a very perceptive mind, capable of discerning other people's joys and sorrows, and even reading their thoughts.

This Buddhist nun was originally hailed as the person most likely to achieve the "Buddha Realm".

However, a debate between Buddhism and Taoism a thousand years ago shattered her Buddhist heart, causing her to grow countless black hairs.

For the next thousand years, this Buddhist nun traveled the world, seeking enlightenment for her true nature.

Legend has it that the day she truly understands will be the day she attains Buddhahood.
