When the newly dyed snow finally showed signs of fatigue, it seemed that it no longer had the strength to continue.
Wei Tu decisively separated himself from the woman who was clinging to him, and Ran Xinxue glared at Wei Tu through gritted teeth.
"I...I haven't even said I'm tired yet..."
Wei Tu pulled the stubborn woman over directly, and then got out of bed first.
The moment the tall man pressed his body down on her again, Ran Xinxue's toes tensed up beyond measure.
Is the night quiet and still?
It's like a gentle rain nourishing the earth, happening silently and subtly.
P.S.: Double update!!
Chapter 143 It's best to keep it clean!
It was almost dawn.
The sky was a deep blue, like the ocean, as if dawn was about to break and the sun was eager to rise.
Meanwhile, the bed was already a complete mess.
Wei Tu wasn't wearing any clothes, just slightly covered by the blanket, since the blanket was the only fabric they could find. As for his clothes, pants, and such... they had long since disappeared after their fierce battle.
At this moment, Ran Xinxue was perched on his shoulder, unusually obedient and docile.
This was the only time this woman was docile. After the battle, both of them were exhausted, but not physically or mentally. Rather, the physical fatigue soothed their mental tension to some extent.
The taut nerves will finally be released with that almost hysterical chanting, with that distinct trembling time and time again.
Although my body didn't want to move, my mind finally went blank, no longer gripped by those tense emotions.
It was unusually quiet at this moment, and the chirping of insects outside had also weakened considerably; they needed to rest as well.
The two remained silent, their breathing and heartbeats the only sounds. It seemed that nothing else was needed to embellish the moment. They leaned on each other quietly, feeling each other's presence, as if they were still in their own world. This feeling seemed to be the most reassuring.
Ran Xinxue certainly liked this feeling.
It's hard to say when my mindset and emotions completely changed because of this boy.
All she knew was that, seemingly from a certain day onward, she had become accustomed to what the boy did to her, and what she felt was not the so-called anger and hatred, but rather something she had been faking.
On the contrary, if the other person disappears and leaves, one will truly bear those unpleasant dreams. They are longings kept deep in one's heart, never told to anyone, and never acknowledged.
She didn't like herself becoming like this. This woman's obsession was not to depend on any man for survival. But... it seemed that the other party had never mentioned that she wanted to become his appendage. She was the one who couldn't leave him. Whose fault was it? Ran Xinxue didn't know.
With a slight tilt of her head, she saw Wei Tu's profile as she looked at the ceiling.
His eyes seemed to be vacant, as if he were staring at the ceiling, but his mind was actually wandering somewhere else.
Ran Xinxue didn't pester the other person; she simply spoke calmly.
"What are you thinking about?"
Wei Tu snapped out of his daze and answered honestly.
"Thinking about what will happen next, you should know that things are far from over."
Ran Xinxue nodded.
"Of course I know that the retreat of Yihua Palace this time seems very strange, as if they were prepared to retreat all along. At first I was puzzled, but now I understand why they stopped here in Guang Shenzhou, and why they left Cangqing Sect here instead of attacking and occupying Cangqing Sect in one fell swoop, but instead engaged in a tug-of-war with us at a disadvantage."
"Ah."
"Dyed in the new snow," she whispered.
"They had planned to retreat long ago, but they wanted to postpone the retreat and were unwilling to occupy the entire Light God Continent. This was because if they completely occupied the Light God Continent, they would face the situation of being attacked from both sides by other God Continents. They were not familiar with the terrain of the Southern Sword Continent, and it was more complicated than other places. Therefore, occupying territory here and then waging a tug-of-war was the best way to delay time."
"Yes."
Ran Xinxue's analysis is completely consistent with my own judgment, but that doesn't mean my judgment is necessarily correct or the truth.
However, this was the result of Wei Tu's investigation based on clues and intelligence from various sources; this was the purpose of the Yihua Palace.
"The key question now is... what exactly do they want? Why take advantage of this opportunity, yet choose this method, preferring to retreat and adopt a conservative approach? What is their purpose?"
After Ran Xinxue, she couldn't imagine what would happen. Her information was limited, but Wei Tu had seen a lot in Yinping Prefecture, so he was very clear about the purpose of Yihua Palace.
He sighed.
"They have already reached a cooperation agreement with the Witch Clan. It must be Feng Huating's doing behind the scenes. What they need to do is create time and conditions for the Witch Clan to resurrect the Witch God."
"The resurrected sorcerer god?!"
Ran Xinxue felt her hair stand on end upon hearing this.
Although many people have never seen the Witch God, they know a great deal about the cruel methods and heinous acts of the Witch Clan. Moreover, Ran Xinxue also knows about the things that happened deep in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains.
Even if we can't fully understand what kind of being the Witch God is, it's still enough to leave people astonished.
"Are they insane?! They actually conspired with the Witch Clan like this? Don't they know that what the so-called Witch God most wants to do is to eliminate the other gods, take over the five great continents, and rule over all cultivators? What are they doing this for?!"
Ran Xinxue was naturally furious. Lu Qingyan had brought intelligence that hinted at this point, but Ran Xinxue still didn't think so. She didn't believe that the people in Beixuan Prefecture were so heartless.
Moreover, Feng Huating is one of the divine palaces, and if they do this, their own situation will be awkward after the resurrection of the Witch God.
"I don't know what they're thinking for now, but all the signs point to this goal, so all we can do is stop them."
"What are your plans? And... what about Miss Luo who will accompany you to Yinping Prefecture?"
Wei Tu calmly replied, "She went back to the Polar Sun Palace first. There are some things I need to find out from her. I need more accurate information before I can decide on the next step. Otherwise, any rash action could lead to complete failure. We've reached the most critical moment."
Although Ran Xinxue felt comfortable lying in this man's arms, she couldn't help but feel a chill creeping into her heart.
She took a deep breath.
"It seems you can't stay too long, there's no peace at all... What do you need me to do?"
Ran Xinxue said these words.
This time, Wei Tu looked at her, but Ran Xinxue spoke directly.
"Don't give me that nonsense about how safe we are. If you dare say something like that, I'll take them all with me and we'll all go down with you. I mean what I say, and they'd probably be more than happy to do so."
Wei Tu gave a wry smile, "I haven't even said anything yet, why are you in such a hurry?"
Ran Xinxue snorted coldly, "Isn't it because you're always like this?"
Wei Tu shook his head and said with a wry smile, "This time, we may really need you to do something. At least you will be in charge of the overall situation. I don't trust anyone else to take charge. So I need you to win people's hearts as soon as possible during this time, so that they can understand the priorities. If these sects are not connected in Shenzhou, once the Witch God is really resurrected... what awaits us is still annihilation."
Ran Xinxue looked at Wei Tu, and she didn't feel embarrassed. She just said...
"No matter what, be prepared. If you're thinking of taking everyone down with you, then you'd better be completely wiped out, and by completely wiped out, I mean including our lives."
Chapter 144 She'll be there soon.
Wei Tu didn't meet Su Mi and Jiang Ying until the following day.
It was just a little late, not in the morning, but at noon.
Hmm... it was indeed quite physically demanding, to the point that this usually disciplined and well-rested boy was unusually sleeping in late.
Ran Xinxue got up early and left her room to handle complicated matters.
It has to be said that this kind of thing is really energy-consuming.
Fortunately, he possessed the essence of the evil dragon; otherwise, with his previous physique, he might not have been able to withstand these successive battles.
The sun is shining brightly today, and the weather is relatively mild.
It's neither cold nor hot.
And so, in this sunlight, Wei Tu met Su Mi and Jiang Ying.
The two girls did more than nothing; in fact, they contributed quite a bit.
No one could remain uninvolved in this battle, and these two girls were no exception. Although Su Mi usually appeared overly gentle and considerate of others.
However, he was very principled in this matter.
I understand that not everything can be solved with kindness and tolerance.
Some interests force people to stand on opposing sides. Rather than fighting, the best solution seems to never be peace, but rather the complete conquest of one side.
Even though it may seem too cruel, this is an unchanging system that has existed since ancient times.
Even if things are divided for a long time and then reunited, and reunited for a long time and then divided again.
When Wei Tu appeared in front of the two girls, Su Mi seemed a little incredulous, while Jiang Ying, as usual, stared at Wei Tu and stood obediently in place. Even so, her eyes said it all.
Wei Tu felt guilty, but as always, she took the initiative to hug Su Mi.
He held the beautiful girl in his arms and whispered in her ear.
"I'm back. I'm sorry to have worried you."
Su Mi indulged in the moment for a moment, then immediately and gently pushed Wei Tu away.
"It's good that you're back... Yes, Senior Sister Jiang was also very worried about you."
He was clearly still worried about the girl beside him who wasn't good at fighting for things and didn't like to compete for them.
His eyes smiled as he spoke.
Wei Tu smiled and nodded, then walked over to Jiang Ying, gently took her hands in his, and looked at her, saying, "Senior Sister, I'm back."
Jiang Ying nodded, a smile playing on her lips, as if she didn't know how to express it.
Wei Tu didn't think there was anything wrong with that smile; in fact, he thought it was very beautiful, and he liked it a lot, really liked it.
The three of them found a room and sat down. The first thing they asked Wei Tu was whether he had encountered any troubles or dangers along the way.
Wei Tu truthfully told the two girls who cared about him the general situation. Of course, he subconsciously omitted some of the life-threatening parts and tried to downplay the situation. No matter how well they understood him, a man should not make his woman worry too much or lose her sense of security.
Su Mi sighed.
"So, according to you, this isn't over yet..."
Wei Tu nodded, suppressing his smile.
"It'll be soon. Now we're just waiting for Bei Huang's news. We'll have to wait until she comes back to know what to do next."
In fact, Wei Cha had a general idea, but he needed accurate intelligence to support it. Otherwise, if anything went wrong, it would be a complete loss.
Su Mi looked at Wei Tu for a long time without saying a word, but Wei Tu understood the intense emotions hidden in that complex gaze. She didn't want to take any risks.
But I also know what kind of person I am. There are some burdens and responsibilities that I cannot easily unload, and I cannot think like others: "When the sky falls, there will always be someone tall to hold it up."
