Is the cultivation world now only populated by demonesses?

Chapter 41. I'll insist on doing it anyway (If you haven't read this far, this is from Vadashi)

The moon is shining brightly tonight, illuminating the earth. Perhaps it's because it's autumn, but the night isn't hot, and there's even a cool breeze.

Not far from the inn is a house.

"Young Master, I listened to you and stood at the village entrance with that sign, but the sign suddenly disappeared."

The speaker was a thin, frail little girl.

She was truly a woman suffering hardship.

No, now she should be called Bai Wei, which is the new name Xue Yanluo gave her.

Baiwei (白薇) has a bitter taste and small, lovely, pale yellow flowers.

A figure emerged from the darkness, dressed in a long red dress with a white jade sash around her waist, coughing up blood: "Well done, thank you for your hard work, Bai Wei."

Xue Yanluo struggled to suppress his churning blood and qi, and patted Bai Wei's head.

He and the town elder barely escaped with their lives from Su Youwan's clutches. The town elder lost a leg, and he suffered severe internal injuries. Moreover, the Yin and Yang energies he cultivated were even backfiring on him.

Therefore, it took Xueyanluo several days to bring Baiwei to this town.

Bai Wei nodded: "But Young Master, the plaque is missing."

"It's alright, come, help me back."

The obedient girl then helped Xueyanluo back into the house.

"ah!"

Bai Wei exclaimed in surprise, realizing that someone had somehow appeared in the room.

Xueyanluo said, "It's alright, they're not bad people."

Bai Wei was finally relieved.

Xueyanlu coughed up a mouthful of blood and muttered, "What a powerful destiny."

Bai Wei hurriedly picked up a silk handkerchief and carefully wiped the blood from the corner of Xue Yanluo's mouth.

The man emerged from the shadows.

Bai Wei screamed and covered her eyes.

"Oh, little sister, you're all girls, why are you so shy?"

The person was only wearing a bodice on their upper body, with most of their snow-white skin exposed to the moonlight.

Xueyan Luo coldly said, "Don't act recklessly here, Xian Qingqiu."

"You hermaphrodite, you don't understand the beauty of women at all, you have no taste."

Xian Qingqiu sighed: "Xue Yanluo, you said Xia Lianxue has lost all her cultivation? But to me, she seems to have made even greater progress?"

Xueyanluo's eyes were extremely deep: "Hanyi has no reason to lie to me. She does hate Hanshui, so she must get rid of Xia Lianxue, whom Hanshui left behind. You should have seen the man beside her. He is extraordinary. He probably helped Xia Lianxue return to the Dao Realm. You'd better pay more attention to that man."

For some reason, Xian Qingqiu's expression suddenly turned cold: "The fairy of Miaoyu Palace is just as despicable as me, climbing into men's beds in order to cultivate Taoism."

Xueyan Luo said, "I will leave this place tomorrow, and everything is none of my business."

Xian Qingqiu rolled her eyes coquettishly: "Whatever you say. Our people should be arriving tomorrow. This delicacy from Miaoyu Palace is truly fragrant and tender."

She took one last look at Xueyanluo before leaving the house.

Once Xian Qingqiu had completely disappeared, Bai Wei finally spoke, "Young Master, please lie down."

Xueyanlu hummed in agreement and returned to the bed.

"Young Master, is something about to happen?"

"Okay, but we won't participate. I'll take you back to the village tomorrow, okay?"

Bai Wei nodded in surprise; she missed her mother.

~~~~~~~~~~
Ice and snow come into my dreams.

The snow was enough to engulf the world; looking at it, it seemed as if the world was nothing but ice and snow.

cold?
It wasn't too cold, but I couldn't see anything.

Xia Lianxue couldn't open her eyes.

boom! boom! boom!
The continuous, rhythmic crashes against the ground, hoarse and shrill, sounded like inhuman screams rising and falling, sending chills down one's spine.

At a certain moment.

Xia Lianxue finally felt the immense burden on her eyelids lifted. She opened her eyes and saw snow demons covering the mountains and plains, and these ferocious snow demons were kowtowing to her.

These creatures on the snow-capped mountains instinctively worship power, so they kowtow to it, believing Xia Lianxue to be their new queen.

The snow demon kowtowed and died, then seemed to have its time absorbed, quickly turning into a stone statue, forever kneeling before Xia Lianxue.

The death of their companion did not stop the snow demons from kowtowing; instead, they became even more frenzied. I don't want to be here.

I want to go back.

Xia Lianxue couldn't help but think this way. She stretched out her hand and found it was a fair little hand, chubby and soft.

Is she a baby?
This is what she looked like as an infant.

"Finally found."

Voices could be heard coming from afar.

Xia Lianxue stared wide-eyed, wanting to see who it was and why they were looking for her in this freezing weather.

The man walked in.

Xia Lianxue exclaimed in disbelief, "Master Hanshui!?"

The words were on the tip of her tongue, but they turned into babbling sounds.

Master Han Shui slew the Snow Demon with a single sword strike, then picked her up and said, "It's time to return to the palace."

Everything began to fade until it became distorted and invisible.

It was as if in the beginning of chaos, everything had lost its color.

An abrupt shadow loomed.

It was all shadow. She said, "I need to go out. Someone is waiting for me."

Xia Lianxue reached out and covered her chest. A sense of familiarity washed over her. She knew that if she could not comprehend the Dao, she could not leave.

But where is she?
Didn't she attain enlightenment?
The surrounding scenery was like ink paintings, dotted, spreading, and fading. At one point, she saw those ink paintings actually receding, eventually turning back into the original ink.

Eventually, it transformed into a small village.

Someone said, "You mean him? He died of illness a few months ago. His grave? We can't find it anymore."

A small mound appeared before her eyes.

Panic, helplessness, and terror—all these emotions were like an overturned bottle of spices, red and green mixed together, making it hard to breathe.

Xia Lianxue heard a sentence.

"Let it be divine punishment!"

"I'll do it my way!"

The tall, green bamboo shrank inch by inch, then became a bamboo shoot, and finally hid in the soil.

Xia Lianxue felt like she was drowning. She couldn't breathe as the water submerged her entire body, and the feeling of suffocation slowly crept over her. She couldn't help but wave her hands wildly.

Do fairies also sleep in?

These words were like a rope that saved her, and Xia Lianxue suddenly opened her eyes.

When I opened my eyes, I saw Lu Changyuan's warm smile.

The sense of unease brought on by the nightmare vanished without a trace in the face of that smile, and Xia Lianxue felt a sense of peace within her.

Xia Lianxue stood up, her eyes still slightly sleepy: "Young Master?"

Lu Changyuan smiled and said, "The sun is high in the sky, Fairy Lianxue."

Xia Lianxue blushed suddenly and nodded: "Where is that Fairy Xian?"

Lu Changyuan joked, "She said the people from Canglan Sect had already arrived, so she didn't wait for us and climbed the mountain with them."

Xia Lianxue then stood up and looked out the window. The sun was not only high in the sky, but it was even slightly off-center. She had actually slept for so long.

"Young master, why didn't you wake me up?!"

Lu Changyuan concealed the strange look in his eyes and waved his hand: "I noticed that you had the aura of the Dao around you when you were sleeping, as if you were comprehending the Dao in your dream, so I didn't wake you."

In fact, it wasn't just that. Lu Changyuan even tried to awaken Xia Lianxue using the "Supreme Pure Spirit Forget Immortal Technique," but it was to no avail, as if Xia Lianxue was truly just comprehending the Dao.

Xia Lianxue asked anxiously, "But what about climbing a mountain?"

"No rush, let's climb the mountain tomorrow. Today I'll teach you the Autumn Sword first."

"Sir?"

Lu Changyuan waved to Xia Lianxue: "Now that you have Qiu Jian, I feel more at ease."

Xia Lianxue's earlobes flushed red.

Learning swordsmanship is definitely more important than mountain climbing.

Yes, learning swordsmanship from the young master is important.
