Chapter 61: Mother and Daughter
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The red light of the flames shone on the white figure in front of him. Liu Yuan put down the Flying Star Sword in front of him and stared at the corner of his clothes that was fluttering in the wind.
The person who was slashing the flames with a sword was clearly a slender young lady in white!
Her long black hair was blown by the wind and danced wildly, revealing her fair and slender neck. She was wearing a tight-fitting white outfit that wrapped around her slender body, outlining her tender curves.
Just by looking at her back, one could imagine the delicate and lovely face of this young girl.
Who is she? Where did she come from? Why did she save me?
Such questions popped up in Liu Yuan’s heart.
Although he had maxed out the favorability of all the available characters, it did not mean that he knew all the female characters in the game.
Some characters already had their own fixed partners, and even the favorability system was not activated for these characters, let alone conquering strategies. There were also some background boards that had not been updated in the information film, and hidden characters, all of which were existences that could not be conquered.
However, although he said that… Liu Yuan actually conquered a female character with the ‘wife/widow’ attribute before. She must have encountered another problem.
Anyway, at this moment, Liu Yuan was looking at the girl in front of him with a dumbfounded expression, unable to understand.
The girl in white slashed out with her sword. Not only did she split the flames, but her Sword Qi was also like a rainbow. It drew a sharp white light and slashed toward Hou Ying.
“What!”
Before Hou Ying could finish his sentence, half of his arm was already cut off.
Blood spurted out and was burned by the flames.
Swish!
The girl’s figure instantly disappeared from where she was standing. A bright sword light flashed along with a white afterimage and appeared in front of Hou Ying. The blade of the sword pierced into his Dantian and stirred it up.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
Hou Ying screamed in pain. Liu Yuan could not help but frown and hiss. He clearly saw the remaining Sword Qi around the blade. The huge spiritual power was spinning like a blooming lotus flower. It probably destroyed Hou Ying’s Dantian and Nascent Soul completely!
Hou Ying’s face twisted. The dark lines on his body disappeared instantly, which meant his Dantian was damaged and his spiritual energy was leaking.
The girl seemed to have destroyed the core of his cultivation in a very targeted manner.
He struggled and widened his eyes, as if he suddenly understood. “How… how is this possible? I, I did it all… for the Holy Church… W-why… Are you doing this…?”
The girl did not say anything. She pulled out her sword and stabbed it into his chest again.
“No!” Hou Ying’s arms drooped down powerlessly and lost his life. The girl reached out her delicate hands, grabbed his neck, and threw him to the side like a broken bag.
F*ck! This is too cruel…
The corner of Liu Yuan’s mouth twitched. It really hurt just to look at it.
However, Liu Yuan had a vague feeling that this young lady’s fighting style was similar to that of a demonic sect.
Vicious and decisive.
Ma Shu and Xue Yan were hiding in the grass, shivering. Hou Ying fell to the ground with a bang, and the two were shocked.
Anyone who saw a Nascent Soul being killed in seconds would be scared to death!
The surroundings were silent.
Whoosh!
The young girl kept her sword and turned around, revealing her full appearance.
Liu Yuan subconsciously held his breath. The young girl indeed had an exquisite and beautiful face. She had slightly narrow phoenix eyes, a sharp and delicate chin, cherry-red lips, and jade-like skin. She had black hair and wore white clothes.
The girl’s appearance was actually not as beautiful as Ning Xiangrong’s, but her eyes and expression were as cold as ice and snow. Her shoulders were thin, and her figure was slightly thin, making her look like a lifeless puppet.
Only then did Liu Yuan hold his breath.
However, at this moment, the sun was setting, and the color of the sunset made her pale face blush shyly. The golden sunlight shone on the thin and faint hair on the side of her face, making her look young and cute, making her a little more human.
The long sword in the girl’s hand was silver in color, but the edge of the sword was in the shape of a golden wing. It was hollowed out and inlaid with pearls and jade.
This gold and silver intertwining magnificence did not match the girl’s pure white dress, but they complemented each other well in the extreme contrast.
Liu Yuan was still in a daze. The girl looked at him without a word and was about to leave.
“No, wait! Who are you?”
The young girl stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at Liu Yuan. Her eyes were as cold as pearls and contained a deep radiance.
“A shadow.” She opened her mouth and spoke in a pleasant voice. After a pause, she added, “The clouds are far away, and the snow is falling over the mountains. Who is the shadow going to look at? My name is Zhiying.”
Liu Yuan nodded his head, but then was stunned. F*ck! No, this poem doesn’t belong to this world!
However, after eliminating the possibility that the other party was a time traveler, there was only one possibility… He had recited this poem to Pihuan Luo while he was conquering her!
…
“Pihuan Luo, do you have a Central Continent name?”
“No, why?” The eyes behind the black veil were a little puzzled.
“Then I’ll give you one… The clouds are far away, and the snow is falling over the mountains. Who is the shadow going to look at? What do you think about the word ‘Miao’?”
“… Okay. My father’s family name is Qiu. In the current Central Continent, it’s Lu. From now on, I’m Lu Miao.”
At that time, Pihuan Luo, who was still a young girl, smiled like a flower and murmured.
“The clouds are far away, and the snow is falling over the mountains. Who is the shadow going to look at?”
…
“It’s Pihuan Luo who asked you to come.” Liu Yuan said with certainty as he looked at the young girl.
No wonder Hou Ying had such a reaction before he died. She was a member of the demonic sect and understood the demonic sect’s techniques. When Hou Ying attacked Liu Yuan, she suddenly appeared and killed him. It was inevitable that she felt like she was going against the law.
Besides, the name ‘Zhiying’ had too much significance. He could not think of the relationship between Pihuan Luo and the girl in front of him.
Zhiying nodded, hardly speaking.
“… Damn it.” Liu Yuan cursed in his heart, but at least the girl stopped and did not have any intention of leaving.
It seemed like he had to take the initiative to ask.
Liu Yuan coughed and asked, “She asked you to protect me? You saw me in danger and decided to help?”
Zhiying nodded.
“Did she arrange for you to come here after she left that day?”
She nodded.
“You’ve been following me all this time and observing in secret?”
She nodded.
“She doesn’t allow you to appear in front of me?”
She nodded… paused, and shook her head.
The young girl looked at Liu Yuan with a hint of complaint.
Liu Yuan turned his head around as if nothing had happened, not admitting that he was teasing her. “It seems like she’s trying to say that… you’re her shadow, so you have to stay by my side at all times. May I ask, what’s your relationship with her?”
“Mother and daughter,” the young girl replied simply.
“Oh… oh?”
He was stunned. He thought about it, then he was stunned. He was completely stunned.
“What the f*ck??????”
