Chasing after her husband? Is it even possible to win him back?

Too far away, she only saw Chu Xunfeng seem to turn around and look in her direction. The young man who had stood so tall and straight in front of the White Tiger God suddenly collapsed.

But... he seems to be smiling.

This shouldn't be happening!!!

Xu Bailing, who had been nestled in her mother's arms, struggled violently, crying out, "This shouldn't be happening!!! Let me go! Let me go!!"

She suddenly understood Chu Xunfeng's intention in pointing at her.

He wanted to survive, but he had no one to rely on. The White Tiger God gave him a choice, so he could only make this choice where there was no other option.

Just like how Baidi City chose to use him as a bargaining chip.

Since Baidi City made a mistake...

Then, I'll just do something to wrong you.

In that case, we're even.

Father, Mother, and Fifth Uncle will protect me, but he has no one by his side...

"let me go!!"

However, how could a woman at the Intentional Realm break free from her mother's control at the Earthly Profound Realm? If she only struggled, she would never be able to break free.

She did something utterly rebellious.

A loud slap landed on Jiang Shu's face.

Jiang Shu stopped in mid-air, silently watching her daughter, whose eyes were red and swollen, her teeth clenched, and who was staring stubbornly at her.

"Is this how Baidi City repays him? Is this how Baidi City treats its disciples?!"

“He made his choice.” Jiang Shu knew very well that Bai Dicheng had done wrong, but at this moment, it didn’t matter.

"That was you guys, it was Baihu who forced him, he had no choice!"

He chose you to die!

Jiang Shu roared, her gaze fixed on her unfamiliar daughter.

The daughter looked at her completely unfamiliar mother. After a long while, Xu Bailing suddenly laughed, "If the White Tiger God dares to kill me, he dares to kill me even more."

"Is it worth him dying for me, given how he treated Baidi City and what I did for him without ever doing anything in return?"

Jiang Shu was stunned when she saw her daughter's smile.

Xu Bailing is indifferent to people's emotions. In contrast, she herself rarely shows any expression. She cannot empathize with or understand such obvious emotional expressions.

However, at this moment, Jiang Shu tasted the disappointment and anger in her daughter's heart.

“Human emotions are reciprocal, and so are relationships.” Xu Bailing lowered her head. “What you said is all true, but I trusted you too much. I always thought that if you could say it, you could do it.”

"My daughter was too naive, Mother. You and Chu Xunfeng have both taught me a good lesson today." Xu Bailing glanced one last time in the direction of the White Tiger Territory.

She could see nothing on that stretch of mudflat.

All she saw was her father supporting her fifth uncle, whose mouth was bleeding, as he slowly flew towards her.

"Go back." She looked away and stopped looking.

Xu Bailing couldn't bear to look anymore. She was afraid that if she saw his smile, she would be too ashamed to face him. She felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if a dull knife was cutting her flesh.

If Chu Xunfeng hadn't helped her when facing the black-clad assassins, Zhichi could have saved her life from them, but... she couldn't overcome the White Tiger God.

Xu Bailing quietly closed her eyes. In just four days of being together, she had incurred a debt she could never repay in this lifetime.

Three life philosophies that can benefit one for a lifetime, and two life-saving graces that must be repaid for a lifetime.

The pure-hearted girl took a deep breath.

Wait for me, Chu Xunfeng.

Chapter 41, Discrete

"That's really decisive."

A voice filled with admiration, yet subtly emotional, mingled with the sounds of rain and rumbling thunder, reached Chu Xunfeng's ears.

The young man sitting cross-legged on the ground tilted his head slightly, looked at the demon youth who walked up to him, and twitched the corner of his mouth, "No one would really choose to die."

“Indeed.” Ao Ning took an umbrella from Hong Ji and handed it to Chu Xunfeng. “Let’s get to know each other again. Chu Xunfeng, my name is Ao Ning. I am the third son of the Azure Dragon God and the fourth prince of the Dragon Clan.”

"You already know, my name is Chu Xunfeng." The young man took the umbrella, opened it, and held it above his head. As he spoke, his gaze was fixed on the sky, where the group from Baidi City had already disappeared from sight.

The White Tiger God did not return to the ground. After forcing Xu Gengnian away, the giant tiger went straight back to its territory.

Even the little white tiger had disappeared into the deep forest at some point.

ended……

"Reluctant to part with him?" Ao Ning stood beside Chu Xunfeng and asked softly.

"I can't bear to part with just a few people." Chu Xunfeng said, raising his hand to touch the brocade pouch hanging at his waist.

Upon hearing Chu Xunfeng's reply, Ao Ning's eyes flickered slightly.

I wonder how Master and Senior Sister will react... The young man withdrew his gaze and looked at Ao Ning, "What's next?"

"What?" Ao Ning was stunned.

"The demon race has made arrangements... Surely they won't really let me leave?"

What if I really said I'd let you go?

"Then I'll really find a way to leave." Chu Xunfeng didn't have much affection for this squinty-eyed fourth prince of the dragon clan, but he couldn't say he disliked him either.

The deal was proposed by Baidi City, and the demon race did this favor by going along with it, which Chu Xunfeng didn't find unforgivable.

Let's set aside the problems and look at the essence.

Ao Ning came to rescue people.

Baidi City, however, sold itself out from the very beginning.

Right and wrong were obvious, and Chu Xunfeng had no interest in arguing about such things.

As for whether or not he will hold a grudge in the future, that depends on how the demon race intends to treat him.

"Come with me to the Demon Kingdom first to meet my mother. She has always wanted to meet you, a human who was able to obtain the dragon's inheritance from the Phoenix Blood Dragon Bone Pill."

“Alright.” The young man nodded. “Your Highness, please lead the way.”

The young man, holding an umbrella, stepped onto a 'flying carpet' made of bubbles, and amidst the howling winds and rumbling thunder, he gradually drifted away towards the south.

---

An hour later.

Inside the autumn hunting festival venue.

The group from Baidi City that set off earlier was missing the Dragon Prince and his maid from the demon race, but had an extra Baidi City Sword Fairy who looked somewhat disheveled.

Chu Xunfeng is not here.

The fat man and the thin man exchanged a glance, both seeing the other's confusion and bewilderment.

Go ask the people of Baidi City?

Does it make sense?

The skinny man frowned, while the fat man pressed down on his shoulder, saying, "Find out later, don't go looking for trouble."

Li Qinglian frowned, sighed, and nodded. He could naturally see the stiff atmosphere among the group from Baidi City, so he had no choice but to work with Jin Fugui to pack their belongings.

The two gave up, but there was a woman who seemed oblivious to the tense atmosphere among the people in Baidi City, or perhaps she was simply relying on her status and acting with impunity.

Both Li Qinglian and Jin Fugui noticed that Ning Qiuning from the Supreme Sword Sect abandoned her maid and headed straight for Baidi City.

"Elders of White Emperor City, Sword Fairy, I am Ning Qiuning of the Supreme Sword Sect..." Although her demeanor was cold, Ning Qiuning at least did not lack proper address and etiquette.

After speaking, she bowed respectfully, and only after straightening up did she ask, "May I ask, where is that Chu Xunfeng now?"

"Miss Ning, what is your relationship with my disciples?" The Fifth Elder had met Ning Qiu Ning before, but the matter of Chu Xun Feng was too sensitive at the moment, and even the sect might not be able to agree on a single story. Ning Qiu Ning's sudden appearance and direct questioning about Chu Xun Feng...

That's a difficult question to answer.

“Miss Ning, you and Chu Xunfeng had a tragic past.” Xu Bailing, who hadn’t spoken since yelling at her mother, suddenly spoke up.

Ning Qiu Ning's heart stirred slightly. She turned to look at Xu Bai Ling, only to see the sword fairy from Bai Di City looking at her with a pitying gaze.

"Sword Fairy, you seem to have some dissatisfaction with me?" Ning Qiu Ning frowned slightly. She already knew the answer she wanted, and now she was eyeing Xu Bai Ling, who knew about her 'dark history'.

"It doesn't matter, does it?" Xu Bailing looked at the genius of the Supreme Sword Sect in front of her, recalling the stories Chu Xunfeng had told her. "After all, you cultivate the Heartless Will, so no one in this world, no emotion, should affect you."

"My intentions haven't reached that level yet." Ning Qiu Ning narrowed her eyes slightly. If she was only suspicious before, she was now certain.

Xu Bailing from Baidi City dislikes me.

“Then Miss Ning should keep up the good work.” A slight smile appeared on Xu Bailing’s face. “After all, I have found my own path and understood my own will.”

Ning Qiu Ning stared at Xu Bai Ling's eyes, which were devoid of any smile, and took a deep breath. "Two months later?"

"Two months later." Xu Bailing nodded.

Two months later, the Supreme Sword Sect will bring its disciples to visit Baidi City, at which time the two will naturally have a friendly exchange of blows.
