The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 898 - 895 Bai Ling

The moment the light curtain swept past his body, Shen Luo felt as if he had been crushed by a massive force, his bones seemingly falling apart, and his mind as if struck by a heavy hammer, nearly losing consciousness.

Fortunately, he promptly circulated his divine sense power, steadied his divine soul, and finally landed steadily on the ground.

Once he steadied himself, Shen Luo quickly turned around to look and saw a faint white light curtain flickering in the void between light and dark for a few moments before slowly disappearing from his view.

He lifted his arm and tried to touch in that direction, but he grasped only empty space; there was nothing there.

And alongside him, the mountain forest that had been there had vanished, replaced by a somewhat vast plain. The dense grass was caressed by the cool Moonlight and the breeze, undulating like waves.

Remembering the white mink by his side, Shen Luo quickly tugged at the Golden Rope in his hand, causing a nearby clump of grass to rustle intensely.

He walked a few steps forward, pushed aside the wild grass, and couldn’t help but freeze in place.

There, in the midst of the grass, lay a petite and pretty young girl in a white long dress. Her skin was as white as snow, reflecting a pallid glow in the Moonlight.

Her white hair, almost as long as she was tall, spread out beside her like a waterfall, covering half her body.

Seeing that she was still unconscious, Shen Luo flicked his wrist, and the Golden Rope wrapped around her, binding her securely in place.

Then, he approached, took out an Elixir from his sleeve, placed it into the young girl’s mouth, and then helped her circulate it with his mana.

A moment later, the girl let out a soft moan and slowly opened her eyes.

But the moment her eyes opened, the blood-red pupils violently contracted. Her originally beautiful face suddenly distorted into ferocity as white light flickered on her body, and powerful waves of mana surged from within her.

However, before she could struggle, the Golden Rope lit up with bursts of light, draining all the mana from her body.

Yet, as if devoid of reason, the girl disregarded everything and continued to struggle mightily, still trying to summon her mana.

Regardless of how many times she tried, the mana was promptly drawn away by the Golden Rope without a trace. After several attempts, the blood in her eyes dimmed and her complexion turned increasingly pale.

As the blood-red light in her eyes weakened, the girl’s expression gradually became more peaceful. She slowly turned her head and her gaze fell upon Shen Luo, her eyes showing a hint of bewilderment.

"Who are you... what... person?" the girl asked hesitantly, struggling like a child learning to speak.

Before her words had completely faded, she had already passed out again.

Seeing this, Shen Luo grew more puzzled. He stepped forward, placed a hand on the girl’s forehead, and began to examine her carefully.

Upon examination, he discovered that not a single one of the girl’s meridians was completely open. Almost without exception, each connection point of her meridians was blocked and in disarray.

"With her mana in such a disordered state, no wonder she went mad. If I help her sort it out, she should be able to regain some divine wisdom, and then maybe I can get some useful information from her," Shen Luo mused, rubbing his chin.

He sat down cross-legged beside the girl, hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand to remove the Golden Rope from her body. He lifted her up and placed a palm on the location of her Dantian.

Then, a formidable surge of mana burst forth from within him, attacking the girl’s body with the force of a river breaking through a dam.

At the same time, his mind ran like lightning, starting the Great Unsealing Technique. Using his own mana as a blade, he began from the Dantian and started to sort the girl’s meridians.

As Shen Luo’s mana entered the girl’s Ren meridian, it advanced bit by bit along the acupoints within her body, gradually righting the chaotic meridians one by one.

The girl’s eyebrows wrinkled tight, her eyelids twitched slightly, and just as she seemed about to wake up, Shen Luo quickly pointed at her forehead.

A faint halo rippled from between the young girl’s brows, and she immediately fell back into a deep sleep.

Shen Luo withdrew his fingers and continued to help her sort through her meridians.

Time trickled by, and soon the sun began to rise, bringing early morning the next day.

Shen Luo was sitting cross-legged nearby in meditation when he suddenly heard a soft exclamation. As he opened his eyes and looked over, he saw that the young girl had woken up and was struggling to free herself.

Noticing that her eyes were no longer blood-red, he asked, "Who exactly are you?"

"I want to ask you the same question," responded the young girl, gradually calming down and looking at Shen Luo with full eyes of confusion. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

Seeing that Shen Luo was just staring at her and not answering, the young girl continued, "Was it you who cured my injuries?"

"What’s the matter with the meridians inside your body?" Shen Luo asked.

"Cultivating in this damned place for hundreds of years, you’d end up like this too," the young girl said slowly, her brow furrowed.

"It seems it’s indeed due to the chaotic Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi," Shen Luo murmured thoughtfully with a frown.

"Did you come from outside?" the young girl suddenly changed the subject, her eyes lighting up with a hint of hope.

"Yes," Shen Luo admitted without concealment and nodded.

"Then can you take me out of here?" Joy appeared in the young girl’s eyes, and she stopped trying to escape her bindings as she asked.

"Whether I can take you out or not depends on whether you’ll cooperate," Shen Luo said in an even tone.

"I must have attacked you when I was confused earlier, didn’t I? Not only did you not kill me, but you also helped sort out my meridians and restore my senses, why wouldn’t I cooperate?" the young girl quickly said.

"What...is your name?" Shen Luo inquired.

"I...don’t have a name, but Little Xi called me Bai Ling," the young girl replied, a look of sadness crossing her face suddenly.

"Little Xi?" Shen Luo asked, puzzled.

"Little Xi is the daughter of a teacher from Two Realms Town. I was her pet, and after mistakenly eating a Spiritual Orange, I gained spiritual wisdom and inadvertently began cultivation. Bai Ling is the name she gave me that year," Bai Ling said.

"So the demon vixen who attempted to snatch a groom in Two Realms Town the night before—you were that demon?" Shen Luo pondered briefly then asked.

"The night before?" Bai Ling’s brow furrowed even tighter, clearly perplexed.

Upon hearing this, Shen Luo recalled what he saw in Two Realms Town yesterday, vastly different from the night before, and for a moment did not know how to explain.

Bai Ling fell silent, her gaze dropping as if lost in memory.

After a long time, she suddenly shook her head before starting to speak:

"That was all many years ago. Back then, I had just begun to make progress in my cultivation and couldn’t even manage to shapeshift. When I found out that Little Xi was being forced to marry Official Lu’s son, that’s when I went to snatch her away."

Shen Luo recalled the banquet from the evening before; the guests were all in high spirits, and it didn’t seem like there was any kind of forced marriage.

"Later I found out that Little Xi’s copious weeping before getting into the bridal sedan was only because of the local custom of ’crying at the wedding’, not because she was being forced. If anything, she was frightened by my actions," Bai Ling said with mixed feelings of laughter and tears as she continued.
