Chapter 107: Why Would Someone Do This?

If it were a chaste and virtuous woman fighting to the death to protect her purity, Lin Xun could understand.

But the opponent was a Cultivator of the Huanxi Sect; it wasn’t that Lin Xun had a prejudice against them.

It was mainly because Huanxi Sect Cultivators were heartless and had no concept of chastity; every one of them could drive a car fast enough to break records at Mount Akina.

Asking them to die to protect their purity? Was that a joke?

Even if the Saintesses of the Huanxi Sect throughout history were “pure love” types who stayed with one person for life, it was only because they were “forced.” If they ever strayed, their bodies and Dao would perish.

To be honest, looking at it this way, Lin Xun felt that the supreme Secret Technique of the Huanxi Sect was quite ridiculous.

Why did it feel like the supreme Secret Technique of the Huanxi Sect was created by some “pure love warrior” who went undercover in the Huanxi Sect and successfully climbed to the top?

“Why does the Young Master keep looking at me?”

Bai Luoxue looked at Lin Xun with her usual expressionless face.

“I was wondering why you would protect your purity with your life. Do you have someone you love?” Since he didn’t understand, he asked directly; Lin Xun felt the only advantage of talking to Bai Luoxue was that neither side needed to beat around the bush.

“Someone I love?”

Bai Luoxue shook her head.

“We women of the Huanxi Sect have long been heartless; it is impossible for us to fall in love with anyone. If there must be a so-called loved one, then Young Master Lin, who will spend the rest of his life with Luoxue, is that person.”

“Wait, I’m not your loved one. Don’t talk nonsense. I’m a good man, don’t slander me,” Lin Xun said, suddenly anxious.

“Luoxue is not talking nonsense,” Bai Luoxue said calmly. “Master said that this body of mine can only be used to control Lin Xun, so the only one who can touch me is you, Young Master.”

“…Why are you so obsessed with me?” Lin Xun asked this question for what felt like the umpteenth time, even suspecting the author was just padding the word count.

“He is the strongest in the world. Master said that by controlling him, I not only gain a peerless Genius but also a path to the Immortal Realm.

Furthermore, after bringing him back to the Sect, the Senior Sisters and Junior Sisters can also use him for cultivation, improving the overall strength of the Sect.”

“…” Lin Xun felt like cursing in his heart. “Even if you get me, you’re willing to share me?”

“Why not?”

Bai Luoxue tilted her head.

“The soul-controlling Secret Technique Luoxue cultivates only restricts Luoxue. I can only engage in Dual Cultivation with the Young Master, but it does not restrict the Young Master.

Rest assured, the Senior and Junior Sisters will not harvest your Qi or damage your Foundation. Your strength will even improve…”

Lin Xun: “Forget it, I don’t want to be a stallion.”

Lin Xun felt he couldn’t continue the conversation; he felt his worldview was being forcibly reshaped.

Moreover, this further solidified his resolve never to go back with this Bai Luoxue.

The Huanxi Sect being full of women sounded beautiful, like being the only man in a Kingdom of Women—who wouldn’t want to be the “Holy Monk brother”?

But Lin Xun didn’t want to be turned into a dried corpse.

“Miss, life isn’t just about missions; there’s also poetry and the distant horizon. Actually, you should give yourself to someone you love, not sacrifice everything just to control someone.”

Bai Luoxue shook her head. “Young Master seems forgetful. As Luoxue said just now, my heart is already void of emotion. Where would a loved one come from? Joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness—Luoxue can no longer feel any of them.”

“…You really… are quite pitiful.”

“Why?”

“…Never mind, forget I said anything.” Lin Xun shook his head.

A woman as stunning as a masterpiece of the Heavenly Dao, yet unable to find her own love, only acting according to missions—how was that not pitiful?

But since she was a stranger, there was no need for him to judge.

“Miss Bai, please help clean this up.”

“Okay.” Bai Luoxue nodded. “Luoxue understands.”

As she spoke, the girl stepped forward. Before Lin Xun could react, she waved her slender hand, and the three men’s heads fell instantly.

Blood splattered at her feet. Under the moonlight, the girl seemed to stand amidst flowers of blood as she slowly turned around. She was breathtakingly beautiful, yet dangerously like a demon under the moon, ready to devour you at any moment.

Amidst Lin Xun’s shock, the girl said calmly, “Everything that happened today was done by Luoxue and has nothing to do with the Young Master.”

Perhaps thinking her forgery was a bit crude, Bai Luoxue left behind some aphrodisiac incense (equivalent to Ten Fragrance Tendon-Weakening Powder) often used by the Huanxi Sect.

After thinking some more, she even picked up a branch near Lin Xun and wrote stroke by stroke on the ground: “All were killed by me, Bai Luoxue.”

The handwriting was very elegant, with a hint of small cuteness.

Just looking at the corpses on the ground and the elegant small words “All were killed by me, Bai Luoxue” beside them…

Lin Xun felt quite conflicted.

He felt this girl was not just expressionless, but also a bit of a ditz.

“Forget it, forget it. You go first, I’ll handle things here.” Lin Xun snatched the branch from her hand.

If handled like this, the Zilin Holy Land would find him sooner or later… By the way, how on earth did the Huanxi Sect teach her? What have they been teaching her all these years? The Eighteen Moves of Avril?

Bai Luoxue looked at the empty space where the branch had been in her hand, then nodded without being pretentious. “Then I’ll leave first.”

“Go, go—”

Before the word “go” was finished, a gust of fragrant wind blew past, leaving Lin Xun alone in the woods.

Bai Luoxue had left, leaving as decisively as her expressionless personality, without any hesitation.

He erased the large characters left by the girl and used the Corpse-Dissolving Powder specially made by the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, scattering even the ashes.

Finally, except for the signs of a fight, there was no “evidence of the crime” at the scene.

Although his strength wasn’t at its Peak level, he didn’t need a little girl to take the fall for him.

Recalling the information he had gathered, Jiang Qingshang was certainly in grave danger in the Desolate Territory.

Regardless, Jiang Qingshang was Qinger’s best friend and had been quite good to her. Lin Xun felt he should help, at least to ensure she didn’t die in the Desolate Territory.

So Lin Xun decided that while Qinger was away on her business trip, he would take a trip to the Desolate Territory. No matter what, he had to rescue Jiang Qingshang.

After destroying the evidence, Lin Xun returned to the courtyard. He planned to get a good night’s sleep and set off for the Desolate Territory tomorrow to save Qinger’s best friend.

Otherwise, if something happened to Jiang Qingshang and Qinger had to attend a funeral, wouldn’t she be away for several more months?

They hadn’t been married long; why were they spending so much time apart?

He just hoped that by the time he reached the Desolate Territory, Jiang Qingshang would still be alive.

To think that he, the Demon Son of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, would go to save a Saintess of the Righteous Path.

Lin Xun felt a sense of irony.

Returning to the courtyard, before he even entered the gate, a black line appeared on his forehead.

Lin Xun saw Bai Luoxue standing straight at the entrance of his courtyard, like a “husband-waiting stone,” staring into the distance.

Seeing Lin Xun arrive, this husband-waiting stone, which looked as if carved by God himself, finally moved and walked toward him.

“Why are you still here?” Lin Xun asked.

“Since your wife hasn’t returned, I naturally came. Anyway, you will be mine in the future.” Bai Luoxue looked at Lin Xun, her eyes blinking.

Although her beautiful eyes held no emotion, Lin Xun felt that her jewel-like eyes were saying, “Why would you ask such a question? You seem a bit slow.”

“Miss Bai, I am not yours. I’m not now, and I won’t be in the future.”

“Then,” Bai Luoxue thought for a moment, “I am yours.”

“No! You aren’t mine either.” Being targeted by a girl with a natural Bewitching Bone and world-toppling beauty might be a good thing.

But Lin Xun didn’t want his mind controlled, turning him into some “Steel Train Man” of the Huanxi Sect.

“Then I am injured.” Looking at Lin Xun, the veiled girl spoke slowly. “I have nowhere to go. I want to stay for a few more days. We can make a deal.”

“…” Lin Xun’s brow twitched. He thought to himself, “What I fear most right now is making a deal with you.”

But seeing her Pale face and turbulent breath, Lin Xun knew her injuries, which hadn’t healed yet, had worsened.

“Fine, come in.” Lin Xun said nothing more, brushed past the girl, and walked into the courtyard.

Watching Lin Xun’s back, Bai Luoxue walked slowly up the steps and followed beside him.

“I am very weak right now,” Bai Luoxue said out of the blue.

“I know,” Lin Xun replied nonchalantly.

“Don’t you plan to make a move on me?”

“No, I don’t want to become the King of Trains.”

“What kind of women do you like?”

“I like all women except for ‘tanks’ and you.”

“Turn your head for a moment.”

“For what?”

“If I show you my true face, you will fall in love with me.”

“Miss Bai, confidence is a good thing, but narcissism is a problem.”

“Then why don’t you turn your head?”

“I sprained my neck during the fight earlier.”

“Liar.”

“I, Lin Xun, never lie.”

“Liar.”

“…”

“Wait! What are you doing?” In front of the room, Lin Xun stopped and looked at Bai Luoxue.

“Entering your room.”

Bai Luoxue said calmly, without blushing or her heart racing, as if she were talking about something extremely ordinary.

“…” Lin Xun pointed to the side room. “Miss Bai, that is your room!”

Bai Luoxue looked at the side room, then at Lin Xun, and lifted her head. Her cat-tail peach-blossom eyes were as deep and tranquil as a green lake: “Is it because I’m not beautiful?”

“I haven’t even seen what you look like.”

“Then I’ll take it off and show you.” As she spoke, Bai Luoxue reached out to remove her veil.

“No need!” Lin Xun instinctively grabbed her wrist.

The moment he touched the girl’s wrist, a sensation smoother than celestial silk reached Lin Xun’s palm, followed by a bone-eroding charm.

Lin Xun quickly let go and dispersed the charm that was rushing toward his heart.

Actually, the moment Lin Xun touched her, Bai Luoxue had activated her Bewitching Bone. But she didn’t expect him to let go so quickly.

Moreover, his Realm was indeed too high; he dispersed the bone-eroding charm in less than a breath. It seemed such small tricks wouldn’t work.

Lin Xun clenched his left fist, trying his best not to think about that sensation that made one reluctant to let go. Just touching her wrist was like this; this woman was too terrifying.

“I’ll be blunt. I’m going to the Desolate Territory tomorrow. You can stay here to recover during this time and look after the house for me. Just clean the courtyard and Yaya’s room every day. Do not enter my room.

Miss Bai can stay in this courtyard for at most a month and a half. You must leave after that. Any problems?”

In the courtyard, Lin Xun laid down the law with Bai Luoxue.

Although she was a woman of the Huanxi Sect, this Saintess was very different. Lin Xun felt he could trust her.

Moreover, looking at this expressionless girl, Lin Xun found it hard to associate her with the Huanxi Sect.

He even felt she was somewhat pitiful.

“I’m going to the Desolate Territory with you,” the girl said, looking up.

“You? To hold me back?”

Lin Xun rolled his eyes at her quite rudely.

Countless Cultivators in the world wanted to possess her.

Even if she were a Mortal, her presence in the mundane world could trigger wars between several Dynasties.

Yet Lin Xun seemed to hold nothing but disdain for her from beginning to end, his speech not polite at all.

In fact, Lin Xun was doing this intentionally. He could inadvertently show kindness to Wang Chen and Nong Qin.

But he absolutely could not show her any gentle smiles or anything of the sort.

He had to make her realize that the distance between them had not shortened one bit, leaving her no opportunity!

“I…” Bai Luoxue lowered her head, seemingly weighing the pros and cons. She also knew that in her current state, she would indeed be a burden. “I understand. I will wait for you to return.”

“You don’t need to wait for me—”

“Why? Only when you return can I continue trying to control you.”

“…Fine, whatever makes you happy,” Lin Xun didn’t want to argue about it anymore. “Any other questions, Miss Bai?”

“No.” Bai Luoxue nodded, looking somewhat obedient.

“Then that’s it. Go sleep in Yaya’s room. I plan to set off early tomorrow morning.” Lin Xun wasn’t worried about her attracting enemies.

The reason they were able to chase her before was entirely because of that mandarin duck cauldron.

Both the Great Joy Temple and the Huanxi Sect practiced Dual Cultivation. Although their approaches differed, their essence was similar, so the mandarin duck cauldron had a specific tracking function.

But now that the cauldron was gone, as long as Bai Luoxue didn’t go out or show her face, there was no risk of exposure.

As for the Zilin Holy Land searching the city because of the death of Fang Jianqiu’s son, that was even more impossible.

The Zilin Holy Land hadn’t even realized their Sect was missing three Elders of the Jade Purity Realm. Even if they did, they would just assume they were out on business.

Fang Jianqiu’s supporters were even less likely to search the city on a large scale and expose themselves, because his son’s search for Bai Luoxue was kept secret from the Zilin Holy Land.

So Bai Luoxue was very safe here. Lin Xun’s main concern was that it would be hard to explain to Qinger when she returned, so he only let Bai Luoxue stay for a month and a half.

After Bai Luoxue left and the courtyard was aired out for half a month, Qinger wouldn’t notice anything unusual upon her return.

“Lin Xun.”

“Hmm?”

Just as Lin Xun was about to enter his room, Bai Luoxue called out to him.

“Lin Xun, do you love your wife very much?” Bai Luoxue asked, staring into his eyes.

“Hmm?” Lin Xun was a bit surprised she would ask such a question. “Of course I love my wife very much. Why do you ask?”

“What does ‘love’ feel like?”

“A feeling of happiness.” Lin Xun looked at the girl. “What’s wrong? It’s winter right now.”

The girl shook her head. “The Saintesses of the Huanxi Sect throughout history do not fall in love with anyone. However, back in the Sect, there was a Senior Sister who rebelled and fled the Sect to elope with a man. After she was caught, I was responsible for the execution. But Senior Sister was smiling then.”

“I asked her why she was smiling.”

“Senior Sister said that after death, she could be with her lover, so she was very happy.”

“I don’t understand.”

“Senior Sister said I would never understand.”

Lifting her head, Bai Luoxue’s eyes were beautiful enough to stir the soul, yet they were still, like a pool of stagnant water:

“Senior Sister said the same thing to me as you did—that I am very pitiful. As a Saintess, I will never have a loved one and will never understand ‘love’.”

“So, what is ‘love’? Can you describe it?”

Lin Xun: “I think you should ask ‘Fa Hai’ first.”

“Fa Hai?”

“Never mind.”

Lin Xun stood up and waved his hand as he walked toward his room. His voice drifted back from behind him.

“‘Love’ is something that cannot be understood just by hearing others talk about it. When you are willing to sacrifice your life for someone regardless of the cost, you will understand. It’s not about sacrificing everything for a so-called mission.”

“Sacrificing one’s life for someone regardless of the cost?”

The girl stood in the courtyard, staring blankly at the closed door.

“Why would someone do that?”

“Why would someone be willing to do that?”
