Chapter 105

"White Immortal." Qing Qing was holding a new pair of shoes with a little shy blush on her round face, "Junior sister and I made you a new pair of shoes. Your feet are still swollen. You can't wear the original ones, and they are too thin." The pair of shoes she was holding were sewn from fox skin, the thick fur fluffy and stretchy. It looked very warm at first sight.

"Thank you." Xie Bi An smiled, "I've really troubled you guys too much."

"It's no trouble. Kunlun is very cold. We need to wear these shoes to keep warm." Qing Qing said happily, "White Immortal, let me help you put them on."

With a long arm, Fan Wu She stopped Qing Qing and said with a stern face, "Put them down."

Qing Qing hesitantly looked at Xie Bi An. They had been taking care of Black and White Immortal for the past two days, and they had gotten to know both of their temperaments. While White Immortal was gentle and affectionate, Black Immortal was fierce and seemed to hate them going near White Immortal.

"Wu She, where are your manners?" Xie Bi An whispered.

Fan Wu She snatched the shoes from Qing Qing's hand, "I'll put them on for him, get out."

Qing Qing secretly glared at Fan Wu She and pulled her junior sister out.

Fan Wu She looked at the shoes, "They do look good."

Xie Bi An glared at him, "Not only did you not thank them, but you're also still so rude."

"The shoes were made for you, why should I thank them?"

"You ..."

Fan Wu She pulled Xie Bi An's ankle and put his calf on his lap, "Here, let me put them on for you." He gently put on Xie Bi An's shoes, carefully avoiding the wound.

Xie Bi An shook his feet, which were wrapped like balls of fur, and snorted, "How can they walk in these kinds of shoes?"

"They're used to it. They can still run and fly." Fan Wu She's hand smoothly rubbed Xie Bi An's calf, "Has your leg stiffened after not getting out of bed for the past few days?"

"It's still fine." The force of the kneading was just right, and Xie Bi An closed his eyes in comfort, "Yet you're in a hurry to get on the ground when you just recovered from your wounds."

"I wanted to see you." Fan Wu She pressed his fingertips against the soft muscle, seemingly caring, but in his mind, he was thinking of the image of him carrying this long, slender calf on his shoulder and banging savagely. As he thought about it, his hand crawled up the calf in a misbehaving manner.

He grabbed Fan Wu She's wrist and said angrily, "Where are you touching?"

That pair of extremely charming fox eyes made an innocent face: "Can't I touch?"

Xie Bi An was once again shocked by Fan Wu She's thick skin.

"Why can't I?" Fan Wu She pressed both hands on Xie Bi An's thighs and stretched his body over, "Didn't senior brother let me kiss you and promised to be my cultivation partner?"

"Is that the only thing on your mind?"

Fan Wu She came closer and closer, the tip of his nose almost hitting the tip of Xie Bi An's nose. He laughed lightly, "Which kind of things?"

Xie Bi An leaned back, but Fan Wu She was holding his legs down, so he couldn't retreat. He could only look at Fan Wu She's face, which was very close. Feeling the warm, flirtatious breath on his cheek.

"What kind of thing is it, senior brother? Is it the kind of thing that was drawn in the picture book?"

"I, I don't know."

Fan Wu She gave a cheeky smile, "How could you not know? You even lent it to me to read. You said, I would naturally understand when I read it, and I do now."

Xie Bi An was beyond regretful about the stupid thing he had done. He was so choked up that he didn't know how to retort, and his face quickly turned red from holding back.

"I understand now, so I want to try it with senior brother" Fan Wu She licked Xie Bi An's lips, "I want to take off senior brother's clothes, kiss you all over, and then ..."

Xie Bi An felt like his brain was about to explode and pushed him away.

Fan Wu She sat on the bed crookedly, pressing a hand on his chest and kept panting.

"You, are you deserving it?" Xie Bi An reprimanded, "You're so young, and always thinking about such naughty things."

Fan Wu She pouted with grievance, "I like senior brother, so naturally I would want to do intimate things with you."

"Now is not the time to think about that."

Fan Wu She came over again and placed his head on Xie Bi An's lap. When looking up from the bottom, his eyes were wide open and looked even more innocent, "Then when we're safe, can we think about it?"

Xie Bi An said with shame, "We'll talk about it later."

Fan Wu She hugged Xie Bi An's waist, "Senior brother, how long do we have to stay here?"

"Master told us to wait until we get well."

"But I'm worried about Master."

"I am worried too, but if we're like this, we will only be a burden to master." Xie Bi An looked at his "furry" feet and sighed, "It's been four days, why is there no news at all?"

"Mount Tai is very far away from here, so it's normal to have no news." Fan Wu She said, "Senior brother, I've been thinking about it for the past two days and I don't think we should stay here."

"Why?"

"This is the territory of the Cangyu Sect after all. Even if it's now taken over by the Immortal Alliance, I've always felt unsafe. The point is, we have Cheng Yan Zhi in our hands. Qi Meng Sheng must not want to be coerced and will definitely find a way to take it back. Now that Yun Zhong Jun and a few elders are nowhere to be found, if they come back and sneak up on us, it is impossible for us to defend effectively."

Xie Bi An nodded, "You have a point. This thing, no, this person, is still alive and can't be put into a Qiankun bag. It is indeed a problem to carry around."

"Moreover, we are all worried about Master. The trip to Mount Tai is bound to be a fierce battle. Li Bu Yu is not trustworthy at all, and Official Lord Cui's Book of Life and Death has the Master's fate written in it ..."

Fan Wu She knew that Xie Bi An would definitely be persuaded, as long as the matter concerned Zhong Kui's safety.

Xie Bi An's expression really tensed up: "Actually, I have been thinking about this matter too. When I was at the Spirit Palace, I was so scared. Scared that Master would ... but Master didn’t lose when fighting Qi Meng Sheng alone. Even if Li Bu Yu is not trustworthy, the sect leaders and elders of the major sects are all present. It should be safer than him being alone."

"On the battlefield, anything can happen. Didn't Master get his sword seized just because of Lan Chui Han?" Fan Wu She said disdainfully, "Lan Chui Han might as well hide. What a burden."

"Wu She, don't say that. If it wasn't for Brother Lan, Master would definitely have suffered more." Xie Bi An sighed, "I don't know how big brother Lan is doing now. Without exchanging back using Cheng Yan Zhi, Qi Meng Sheng won't kill him for now, but ..."

"We can't do anything by panicking here. We might as well go to Mount Tai together and join our master."

Xie Bi An frowned and pondered.

"First, we leave Fenglin Continent. Qi Meng Sheng won't be able to find us, so naturally she won't be able to send anyone to sneak up on us. Second, we'll be safer after we reunite with our master and the Immortal Alliance. When our injuries are almost healed, we'll still be able to give our master a boost."

Xie Bi An nodded, "You're right, but how do we leave Fenglin Continent now? You're still unable to fly with your sword due to your injuries, and I can't walk, so if we want to leave Fenglin Continent on our own, we'll have to recuperate for at least half a month."

"Actually, I have a solution." Fan Wu She sat up, "But it's a bit risky. Would senior brother dare to try it?"

Xie Bi An was aroused by his curiosity and desire to win: "What is it?"

Fan Wu She's gaze drifted out the window and slightly raised his chin in the direction of Fengming Lake, "Horse."

"Horse ... Wuya?" Xie Bi An's eyes widened.

"Yes, Wuya."

Xie Bi An subconsciously looked to his left and right and lowered his voice, "What are you thinking? That's Zong Zi Xiao’s mount."

"So what? It’s just an evil spirit, and if it's an evil spirit, it can be ridden by a cultivator."

"Wuya is not an ordinary evil spirit. It has been cultivating at the bottom of Fengming Lake for a hundred years and is very powerful. As you can see, if it wasn't for Master’s help that day, Yun Zhong Jun might not have been able to capture it. Moreover, it is the mount of the Supreme Demon. You and I both know how much the immortal cultivation world fears the Supreme Demon. Just the fact that Wuya has appeared in the world has already made Li Bu Yu lead the Immortal Alliance to come and investigate personally. Who dares to touch it?"

"Now that the Immortal Alliance has no time to take care of themselves, where would they have time to care about us? Besides, we're just borrowing it, otherwise how would we travel these thousand miles on foot?"

Xie Bi An said anxiously, "You are really a newborn calf not afraid of the tiger. How can things be as simple as you say? What if the Immortal Alliance investigates it? Even if the Immortal Alliance doesn't investigate the matter, what makes you think you can handle Wuya? Wuya's cultivation level is likely to be above yours and mine."

"How will we know if we don't try?” Fan Wu She's two eyes were unusually bright, "We have soul weapons. All evil spirits are afraid of soul weapons. If it wasn't for the Qingfeng Sword, even Master wouldn't be able to subdue Wuya at once, right? So, Wuya may not resist me." In fact, he was not fully confident. With his current cultivation level, he really could not tame Wuya, but he bet that Wuya still remembered him, because that night at the shore of Fengming Lake, Wuya attempted to break through the heavy encirclement and run towards himself. No matter how much the years had changed, Zong Zi Xiao or Fan Wu She, his soul had not changed.

"No, it's too absurd." Xie Bi An shook his head firmly, "Wu She, that’s really bold of you. There are many, many rules in this world, how can you be allowed to run amok?"

"This is the only way we can get to Mount Tai." Fan Wu She grabbed Xie Bi An and stared him dead in the eyes, "Don't you want to go and help Master?"

"Of course I want to, but ..."

"Then let's go and help Master." Fan Wu She said, "Senior brother, let me try. If I can really ride Wuya, we'll go, okay?"

Xie Bi An looked out of the window with a difficult expression, not really being able to see anything from here, "Wu She, calm down a bit, this is too risky."

"I have considered it carefully. This is an extraordinary time, so naturally we have to use extraordinary methods. As long as we can stop Qi Meng Sheng, we can take our time to investigate the matter of Wuya. We are just borrowing it."

Xie Bi An's sword brows were tightly locked.

"Senior brother." Fan Wu She encouraged, "I also want to know Master’s situation as soon as possible. There is nothing we can do by staying here and feeling anxious."

Xie Bi An seemed to be persuaded. He was too worried about Zhong Kui. The Book of Life and Death said that Zhong Kui was nearing the end of his predestined life, and there were only a few people in the world who had the ability to hurt Zhong Kui. He had been wary of Li Bu Yu at first, but now it seemed that Qi Meng Sheng was even more dangerous, especially since the Qingfeng Sword had been seized. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. He wanted to get to his master's side immediately.

Xie Bi An gritted his teeth, "How confident are you?"

Fan Wu She's eyes flashed with a brilliant light: "Just try it and we’ll know."

"There are people from Wuliang Sect guarding outside."

"Not enough to be feared."

Xie Bi An frowned, clearly still hesitant to decide.

"Senior brother, leave it to me."

"Wu She, you are really bold." Xie Bi An let out a long breath, "If I weren't worried about Master, I would never have let you do something like this."

"It's not reckless, I've given it a lot of thought." Fan Wu She gently cupped his chin, his gaze steadfast, "I will take you away."

---

After nightfall, Fan Wu She quietly left the Ice Palace.

There were people from the Immortal Alliance patrolling and guarding the shores of Fengming Lake, so if he went over there, he would definitely be discovered, and he waited patiently.

At this moment, fire and explosions suddenly came from inside the Ice Palace, and someone shouted, "The people from the Cangyu Sect have escaped ------"

Lights lit up one after another inside the Ice Palace, and people from the Immortal Alliance ran towards the underground. The shouts and footsteps completely stirring up the quiet night.

The people patrolling at Fenming Lake also ran towards the Ice Palace.

Fan Wu She took the opportunity to run to the edge of Fengming Lake. He drew out his Ting Mo, lifted his sword high up in the air, which was wrapped in spiritual energy, and struck the horse-shaped ice sculpture, which shattered with a sound.

A skeletal warhorse with a black death aura reappeared in the snow. Its front hooves leaping up and its neck pointing towards the sky, letting out a long, chilling neigh in the darkness of the night.

"Oh no, it's Wuya!"

"Something's wrong, someone come quickly!"

Fan Wu She's chest rose and fell violently as he approached Wuya and slowly extended his hand, saying in a deep voice, "Wuya, listen to my order."

Wuya shook its high steed body and twisted its head. Its dark eye holes looking straight at Fan Wu She.

"Wuya, listen to my order."

"Quickly, someone -----"

A large group of Immortal Alliance cultivators ran towards Fengming Lake.

Wuya suddenly lowered its head and rubbed its nose across Fan Wu She's palm.

Fan Wu She leapt up and jumped onto Wuya's back, "Rise!"

Wu Ya spread its four hooves and ran wildly towards the Ice Palace. A group of cultivators roared wildly, but none of them dared to make a move to stop them. They all stepped aside.

That was Wuya, the mount of the Supreme Demon Zong Zi Xiao. No one had seen the grand occasion with their own eyes a hundred years ago, but the fear of the Supreme Demon that had been instilled in everyone in the immortal cultivation world from birth to the present day, and was already deep in their bones. This sudden change left them completely at a loss for words.

Wuya galloped across the long snow mudflat. The fierce black death aura on its body was like a burning black flame, leaving a phantom shadow like smoke and ashes on the snow. The man on top of it was dressed in black, his face was stunningly beautiful but cold and grim. He was calm, he was awe-inspiring, as if the Supreme Demon had walked through a hundred years of time, stepped over thousands of dead bones and returned from hell.

Wuya ran straight up to the outer wall of the Ice Palace. It was capable of flying over the walls.

Fan Wu She called out to an opened window, "Senior brother, jump down."

Xie Bi An glanced downwards, and just seeing the skeletal horse, his legs began to go weak. Fan Wu She could actually control Wuya! There was no time to hesitate at this point. What was the use of regretting after what was done? He clutched the bundle in his hand and leapt down from the window.

Fan Wu She embraced Xie Bi An with one arm and put him in front of him to sit properly. He gave him a big kiss on his face and then let out a hearty laugh, "Wuya, go!"

With a few leaps and bounds, it ran down the Ice Palace, then spread its hooves and ran off into the distance, leaving the Ice Palace and the Immortal Alliance far behind it.

Xie Bi An crouched on top of Wuya, practically in fear: "Wu She, slow down, your injuries can't stand such a fast speed."

But Fan Wu She turned a deaf ear.

It had been a hundred years. He finally felt delighted to ride Wuya again. As if he was still the same Zong Zi Xiao, the only one in heaven and earth, and the person he rode with was still the one he loved the most. The extreme speed of the wind mixed with the cold snow blew his mind into a daze. In a trance, he thought that nothing had changed. That time had not gone, that person had not left, that they could keep running like this. Running through the changes of the cold and summer heat, running through the transformations of the world, until the days were long.

"Wu She!" Xie Bi An went to tug at the reins, but found that the reins did not work on Wuya at all.

Fan Wu She came back to his senses: "Wuya, slow down a little."

Wuya obeyed and slowed down.

Xie Bi An was shocked, "It, it listens to you?" He was sitting on this evil spirit, which was indescribably strange, but it seemed that apart from being much faster, it was not much more different from an ordinary horse. And once again, he had a feeling of déjà vu. Ever since he had been stimulated at the Eight Trigrams Platform, he had been experiencing this feeling in all sorts of people and things. He knew it was his past life that was haunting him, but there was nothing he could do about it.

But, forget about the other stuff, what about Wuya? How could he have some familiarity with Wuya too? No, he must have confused the feeling of "riding a horse" with "riding Wuya".

Fan Wu She wrapped himself and Xie Bi An in a large cloak: "Senior brother, are you cold?"

"Answer my question first, how can Wuya listen to you?" Xie Bi An remembered Fan Wu She's confident look when he said he would ride Wuya to Mount Tai, as if he had already known that Wuya would obey.

Why? This was the Supreme Demon's mount. How could Fan Wu She, a young boy who was unknown, make the Supreme Demon's mount listen to him?

"I have the Soul Weapon."

"I have one too. Why won't it listen to me?" Xie Bi An's tone had become stern. He felt that Fan Wu She was still hiding something from him.

Fan Wu She wrapped one hand around Xie Bi An's waist, "Senior brother, why are you so fierce? How do I know why it doesn't listen to you? I took out my soul weapon and it got scared. Try taking out your soul weapon and maybe it will listen to you too."

Xie Bi An reflected on his tone and his voice relaxed a bit, "Really? Then I'll try it out when we take a break." He realized he seemed to be thinking too much just now. Their soul weapons have the spirit of the Great Emperor Beiyin in it, and there were no evil spirits that did not fear the soul weapon, just the degree varies, so it seemed reasonable for Wuya to be submissive.

"Why else do you think Wuya listened to me, senior brother?" Fan Wu She cushioned his chin in the nook of Xie Bi An's neck and pressed onto his face intimately, "Could it be that senior brother thinks I have the Heavenly Secret Talisman?"

"Don't say such things. This is not a laughing matter."

"What's the big deal? Without a master, the Heavenly Secret Talisman is just a dead object. What’s more, we don’t know where the Great Emperor Beiyin had hidden it.”

"Having said that, it's not a good sign for Wuya to show up. Otherwise, Li Bu Yu wouldn't have personally left the mountain. It is enough to see that this matter is serious."

"Why do all of them think that Wuya’s appearance has something to do with the Heavenly Secret Talisman? I think Wuya was at the bottom of Fengming Lake long before the great battle at Mount Luofeng, and Kunlun is so far away from Fengdu, could someone else have sent Wuya here on purpose?"

"What you say is also true."

"Putting aside everything else, Wuya is just an evil spirit, and evil spirits can be controlled by cultivators, and they can also be overtaken and destroyed by cultivators. Wuya is actually not that scary. What they are afraid of, is Zong Zi Xiao and the Xuanyuan Heavenly Secret Talisman."

Xie Bi An sighed, "Yeah."

"However, Li Bu Yu’s fears are not entirely unjustified. As long as one has enough spiritual power, one can control the Heavenly Secret Talisman and turn into a second Zong Zi Xiao. What they are really worried about is whether the Heavenly Secret Talisman is safe."

"The Heavenly Secret Talisman is naturally safe. The Great Emperor Beiyin has personally sealed it somewhere in Jiuyou."

"Somewhere? What kind of heavily guarded place is it? Whether it's the evil spirits of hell, or the underworld generals and Yin soldiers, anyone wants to get their hands on this divine treasure. Is the Heavenly Secret Talisman really safe?"

"It is the safest when no one knows." Xie Bi An said, "I hope it will never see the light of day again."

Fan Wu She narrowed his eyes slightly.

It will definitely see the light of day again. It will definitely return to my hands.
