Chapter 50: Am I Such a Beast?
“Let’s rest for a while. We’ll make plans as soon as she wakes up!”
Chen Qingyan nodded and continued to meditate and recuperate.
Lin Fengmian checked on Liu Mei from time to time, offering her water and monitoring her condition to prevent infection and fever.
Chen Qingyan paid attention at first, but when she saw that he was behaving honestly and didn’t make any other moves, she ignored him.
Lin Fengmian muttered to himself, “Am I such an beast?”
Although Liu Mei looked weak and pitiful, she was still somewhat alluring.
During his bored rest, the twin fish pendant on his chest suddenly lit up.
Unconsciously, three days had passed. He looked at the unconscious Liu Mei and the concentrated Chen Qingyan who was deliberately sitting far away.
He closed his eyes and responded to the call of the jade pendant.
Lin Fengmian once again entered that mysterious space.
Standing by the black river was a woman as beautiful as a fairy, it was Luo Xue.
However, at this moment, Luo Xue’s face was frosty and she looked at him coldly, giving her a strangely captivating aura.
“Liar!”
Lin Fengmian smiled awkwardly, “What’s wrong? Is it because I didn’t respond to you last time?”
“I searched for days in the Eastern Wilderness Dong Wang Mountain Range. Don’t even talk about the Joyful Union Sect, I couldn’t even find a single sect.”
Luo Xue snorted coldly with a smirk on her lips, “Lin Fengmian, what do you have to say for yourself?”
Lin Fengmian asked nervously, “Could there be an array hiding it?”
Luo Xue became even angrier, puffing out her chest, “How is that possible? I dug up the whole place, I even found rats, don’t even talk about arrays!”
Lin Fengmian was now completely at a loss, racking his brains for an excuse.
Seeing his predicament, Luo Xue folded her arms, turned her back to him, and snapped, “You’re a big liar!”
Lin Fengmian saw that she didn’t want to listen to him at all. When he thought about how she had gone to the Eastern Wilderness just for him, he felt a mixture of gratitude and guilt.
When she saw Lin Fengmian’s silence, she became even angrier.
Lin Fengmian hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to tell her the truth: “There’s something I have to tell you, it might sound unbelievable, don’t get too excited.”
“Go on, I’m listening,” Luo Xue said calmly.
“I practice the Forgetting Dust Sword Dao and have received professional training. No matter how unbelievable it is, I won’t be surprised.”
Lin Fengmian said nervously, “Have you ever considered the possibility that we are in different timelines?”
Luo Xue was stunned for a moment, then she suddenly drew her sword, her anger flaring up, “You liar, do you think I’m a three-year-old child?”
Lin Fengmian quickly raised his hands in surrender and said with a wry smile, “I really didn’t lie to you. I am in a different timestream from you, a thousand years after you.”
“So it’s impossible for you to find the Joyful Union Sect in the Dongwang Mountain Range a thousand years ago.”
Luo Xue gritted her teeth, her voice filled with hatred, “Do you think I’ll believe you?”
Lin Fengmian racked his brains and began to describe her jade pendant, “The twin fish pendant you have has the character ‘Xue’ engraved on it, right?”
Luo Xue was speechless and astonished, “How did you know?”
“Because the one in my hand also has it. There can’t be two identical jade pendants in the world. We are both holding the same one.” Lin Fengmian explained.
Luo Xue couldn’t help but remember Lin Fengmian’s strange request earlier, to keep the magic power for as long as possible, ideally for over a thousand years.
Could it be that the jade pendant not only connected two different spaces, but also two different time spaces?
She said incredulously, “Impossible, you must be lying to me.”
Lin Fengmian said seriously, “You don’t believe it, and I don’t believe it either, but whether you believe it or not, the fact remains.”
After a long time, Luo Xue finally came to her senses and asked, “What is the world like a thousand years later? What about the Qionghua Clan? What about me?”
Lin Fengmian didn’t dare tell her about the Qionghua Sect, nor did he dare tell her what had happened to her.
He could only smile wryly, “I don’t know. My current level is too low, and I’m separated by a continent. How would I know?”
“Then how do you know that we are separated by time and space? Could it be…” Luo Xue suddenly remembered something.
Lin Fengmian nodded. “That’s right, I knew it from the year you mentioned.”
Luo Xue was skeptical and remained silent for a long time, still finding it incredibly unbelievable.
Talking to another person across a thousand years of space and time, wasn’t that a bit too magical?
After an unknown amount of time, Luo Xue still asked, “Shouldn’t you be out with your Senior Sisters? What’s the situation now?”
Whether it was true or not, she still wanted to know what was going on with this guy.
It was like reading a novel and desperately wanting to know what happened next.
Lin Fengmian felt her kindness and sighed with relief, “I escaped from the Joyful Union Sect, but the situation isn’t good.”
He explained everything that had happened recently to Luo Xue, leaving her stunned.
“You said the person you met was dressed like a monk and could emit red smoke?” Luo Xue exclaimed in surprise.
“Yes, why, do you know them?” Lin Fengmian asked in surprise.
Luo Xue nodded. ” That is the Huanxi Temple of the Northern Abyss Demon Sect. They specialize in absorbing yin energy to replenish yang energy, a notorious demon sect. How could they appear in Eastern Wilderness?”
She couldn’t understand it, and Lin Fengmian couldn’t understand it either, but he could only smile ironically, “In this situation, I don’t know how to deal with it.”
“They are much stronger than you, you can only wait for your sect elders to save you.” Luo Xue was also speechless.
Lin Fengmian hung his head and said, “But even if they come, I’ll just go from the wolf’s den to the tiger’s mouth! I’m still too weak.”
Luo Xue rolled her eyes and looked at him with exasperation, “That’s because you’re too weak! If it were me, I would have escaped the Joyful Union Sect a long time ago.”
“Then go ahead!” Lin Fengmian sighed.
“If I could go, I would definitely be better than you!”
Luo Xue stood there talking, not knowing how difficult it was for him, leaving Lin Fengmian speechless.
Seeing that it was almost time, Luo Xue stood up and said, “I don’t want to talk to you anymore, I’m leaving.”
Seeing her raise her sword to strike, Lin Fengmian quickly said, “Why are you always attacking me?”
“Because I have a sword!”
Luo Xue shook the Zhenyuan Sword in her hand, looking smug.
“Give it to me, this time I’ll attack you!” Lin Fengmian replied, not willing to be outdone.
It was too unfair! He came empty-handed while she could even bring a sword. It was ridiculous!
Luo Xue thought for a moment and threw the Zhenyuan Sword over, “Fine, this time it’s your turn.”
Lin Fengmian grabbed the Zhenyuan Sword. Looking at Luo Xue who was closing her eyes as if waiting for death, he hesitated.
How should he strike?
He couldn’t help but look at her chest, which seemed to be very full. Should he rip it open to peek into the abyss?
He swallowed nervously and quickly shook his head, pushing away the terrifying thought.
Wouldn’t Luo Xue kill him if he did?
