White Dew Is Frosty

Chapters15

“That fool Mo Chen actually accepted a disciple too.”Lan Zhi lightly slapped the table and covered her mouth as she laughed.

Fool... was Empress Lan Zhi very close to her master? Chao Lu was anxious.

“Continue speaking.”An Ling raised his hand and held Lan Zhi’s hand down. In return, he gave her a flirtatious look.

“It’s like this. Although my master injured exalted immortal yunfu, exalted immortal Yunfu was the one who injured the little beast guarding my house first.”

“But your master clearly reared a demonic beast. Wasn’t exalted immortal yunfu the one who attacked first when the demonic beast went berserk?”

“Demonic Beast?”Chao Lu rustled in her arms.

The two people above looked at the little girl curiously. Su Bai clasped his hands behind his back and smiled at Lan Ruo. The five people in the hall each had their own thoughts.

Chao Lu took out her peach blossom chicken, Xiao Xiao. It was lying in her palm, dozing off. Its legs kept twitching as it breathed. She braced herself and said, “This is the demonic beast that attacked exalted immortal Yunfu!”

Xiao Xiao’s body was neither too big nor too small. It sat between Chao Lu’s hands and adjusted itself. Except for the fact that it was a little fatter, the entire peach blossom chicken had a slightly honest look, which complemented the owner who was holding it.

An Ling fixed his gaze on this demonic beast with a face full of confusion. “Are you really talking about this demonic beast?”

When Exalted Immortal Chuchu Yun complained, the so-called demonic beast that appeared in his mind was the kind of gigantic demonic beast that could soar into the sky and devour divine power. When his eyes once again shifted to this demonic beast that was lying in the little girl’s hands and twitching like a little hen.., he instantly felt speechless.

“Chao Lu doesn’t dare to lie.”Chao Lu raised her head and looked straight at an ling with her sincere eyes. It was only when she saw Fairy Yun Jin, Lan Ruo, gently gesturing with her hand that she unconsciously lowered her eyes.

Fortunately, an Ling wasn’t angry. The rules in the ninth heaven naturally weren’t as many as those in the imperial palace in the mortal world. Thus, he pondered for a moment and turned to ask LAN zhi, “How do you think we should handle this matter?”

Although Lan Zhi should logically not be involved in the matters of the Heavenly Palace, an Ling was currently meeting Chao Lu in her study. Thus, he wiped away a trace of a smile and did his sister, Lan Ruo, a favor.

“I feel that since it’s such a small demonic beast, then what exalted immortal Yunfu said still needs to be verified.”Lan Zhi’s words made Chao Lu’s heart slightly calm down. She let out a small sigh of relief and stuffed Xiaoxiao into her hanging pocket, leaving only her head swaying.

However, she saw Lan Zhi raise her eyebrows and smile. “However, raising a demonic beast in the heaven realm is a violation of the rules. Fortunately, this demonic beast is just an uncivilized small beast and has nothing to fear. However, this matter still has to be punished.”

What! ! Empress Lan Zhi was actually so powerful.

Chao Lu’s heart stirred slightly and she looked up. Lan Zhi was smiling, and an Ling was also smiling. These people who were not involved in the matter, did they think that controlling the ninth heaven would allow them to be toyed with in the palm of their hands?

Suppressing the unwillingness in her heart, Chao Lu said, “This demonic beast was actually raised by Chao Lu herself. I’m willing to accept the punishment on behalf of Master.”

The Scarlet Red Dan Kou slowly placed itself on the table. Lan Zhi stood up slightly and narrowed her eyes. Her aura was overbearing as she said, “No, we have to punish the heavenly deity.”

Chao Lu was anxious, but she slowly sat back down. She turned to an ling and said, “If the teaching is not strict, then the master is lazy. Emperor, is this the right thing to do?”

An Ling looked at the little girl. Although there was some grievance on his face, there was also some stubbornness. He sighed in his heart and said, “Little girl, we only met you today because of Fairy Yun Jin. This matter can be dealt with leniently, but there must be punishment.”

Chao Lu’s hand pinched her palm. It was very painful.

Initially, she did not think that she would be able to successfully save her master. With her useless ability, she had relied on Su Bai to get here. How severe was the so-called punishment now? For example, it was said in the “Nine Heavens Chronicles”that a jade talisman golden immortal was once struck by lightning on a thunder platform for three days for sprinkling oil in the heart-protecting heavenly lamp of the Heavenly Palace.

This kind of punishment was not heavy for a exalted goddess, but it would make Chao Lu’s heart ache. This was a exalted goddess. How could her master punish herself by being struck by lightning in public?

Her nose felt a little sour, but she had no choice but to accept her fate and say, “Thank you, Imperial Emperor, Imperial Empress.”

Looking at the little girl’s crooked head and depressed expression, Lan ruo burst out laughing and pointed at Chao Lu, saying, “Elder sister, why don’t you give her a lighter punishment? Imprison exalted God Mo Chen for a hundred days and then let this little girl come to My Yun Jin Palace to atone for her sins for a hundred days? Master and disciple are both guilty of the same crime...”

Chao Lu looked at Lan Ruo with some gratitude. She didn’t expect that Lan Zhi would still be speaking up for her at this moment. However, she didn’t hear Lan Zhi laughing and laughing very happily. “This method is also good, but this little demonic beast must not stay in the Ninth Heaven.”

Like a bolt from the blue, Chao Lu was dumbfounded. She hugged Xiao Xiao tightly in her arms and said, “Can’t stay in the Ninth Heaven?”

“A demon is a demon. How can an immortal coexist with a demon? This matter has been brought to our attention. How Do You Want Us, the people in charge of the Heavenly Palace, to live with ourselves? !”Lan Zhi’s expression suddenly became stern. The speed at which her expression changed was comparable to flipping through a book.

Chao Lu took a step back. She was tongue-tied and hurriedly explained, “The immortals in the ninth heaven all know that Xiaoxiao is very good. Although it’s a Demon Beast, master is very lost. Only it can find him.”

No one answered in the huge study.

An Ling left this small matter to Lan Zhi to handle. He held a book in his hand and read it carefully.

There was some sympathy in Lan Ruo’s eyes, but she did not say anything more. Perhaps, in their eyes, demons were demons. Immortals and demons could not coexist.

Suddenly, there was no one beside her to help.

So, she lowered her head and held the small body in front of her eyes. It suddenly woke up at this moment. “Chirp chirp chirp.”It was still a very weak voice. It kicked its legs as if it was comforting her.

She desperately rubbed her face on the peach blossom chicken’s body, not letting a single tear fall. However, she made herself look very embarrassed for a moment. She slowly took a step back and bumped into the warm body.

“No... Xiaoxiao can’t leave me...”she murmured softly.

She suddenly regretted coming here. She thought that in this world, the so-called immortals were sentimental. Everyone asked for the protection of the immortals, but who knew that she was also forced to be so helpless by the immortals.

Su Bai slowly stretched out his hand and took Xiaoxiao. He sighed and raised his head, saying, “Why don’t You Leave This Little Demonic Beast to me?”

There was no doubt in his words and he looked at the Imperial Emperor and Empress with determination.

Lan Zhi frowned slightly but Lan Ruo gave her a look and the empress immediately smiled, “Alright, for the sake of my sister, I’ll leave the Little Demonic Beast to you. But remember, don’t let us know that there are still demonic beasts in the ninth heaven. If we find out, don’t blame us for dealing with it according to the rules of the heavens.”

“Su Bai understands.”

As soon as she walked out of the Heavenly Palace, Chao Lu felt dizzy. She staggered, and Su Bai supported her from behind. It had been a long time since she had this problem. Fortunately, she had held on in the study just now.

Standing outside the Heavenly Palace, she took Xiaoxiao from Su Bai’s hands with a reluctant look on her face. Tears rolled in her eyes, but she forcibly held them back.

“I’m sorry, you owe her a favor again...”she was referring to Yun Jin Fairy Lan Ruo, who was still reminiscing with Lan Zhi.

Chao Lu stroked Xiaoxiao’s wings reluctantly. Xiaoxiao had finally become a peach blossom chicken as she wished, but she was finally going to leave her.

Su Bai looked at her and sighed softly. “This little demonic beast has violated the Empress’s taboo. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so serious with you.”

“Why?”

“Empress Lan Zhi was born from a flower demon, so the word ‘demon’is the most taboo.”

“I thought she would at least be more lenient with demons...”Xiaoxiao leaned on Chao Lu’s chest and acted coquettishly back and forth. Although she was not intelligent, she knew that it was time to leave.

Seeing the tears in Chao Lu’s eyes, Su Bai took Xiaoxiao and said, “Don’t worry, I will find a good place for it to settle down. I Won’t let it suffer.”

He reached out and stroked Chao Lu’s head, which hurt a little. Then he heard a playful voice above her head. “A son has to leave his mother eventually. You Can’t keep spoiling it like this. It doesn’t look like a demon beast anymore.”

“No, no, you mustn’t make Xiaoxiao look like that.”The horrifying appearance of the snake-armored beast in the Great Wilderness appeared in her mind, but she stopped feeling sad when she said this.

Su Bai carried Xiaoxiao and said that he would leave first. He asked her to wait for Lan Ruo here.

She was like a mother who was sending her off. She stood in the same place and stared blankly at the empty hand and general Su Bai’s back as he turned around.

As soon as they parted, Xiaoxiao seemed to have realized something. She suddenly cried out in an extremely tragic manner. She hissed as if she was shouting, “I don’t want to leave, I don’t want to leave.”.

Chao Lu’s mind was reeling. She suddenly remembered that back on Green Bull Mountain, 22 had also been in such pain. He had hugged her and shouted, “I’m not a demon, I’m not a demon...”.

“22!”She shouted subconsciously. Su Bai’s shoulders stiffened and he slowly came to a stop.

“22, you have to come back... 22, you’re not a demon...”this voice was filled with uncertainty. It was like a nightmare. It completely overlapped the scene from back then with the scene now.

Su Bai was stunned, and Xiaoxiao struggled desperately in his arms.

But often, a separation was the difference between a demon and an immortal. Back then, er-er could not reach the ninth heaven. He was a demon, and now that he was standing in front of her, he was no longer a demon.

He was not a demon, but he had gone through a lot of pain. He had torn apart his tendons and bones, cleansed his marrow, and was reborn. At that moment, he even thought that he could not endure it. It was only after he had been unconscious for decades that he managed to overcome the torment and wake up again.

Xiaoxiao suddenly fell from Su Bai’s hand. She rolled on the ground and pounced toward Chao Lu.

Her aggrieved little eyes were filled with panic. Her wings were injured, but she could not fly. She could only limp and run with great difficulty.

Su Bai stood where he was and looked at Xiaoxiao, who was still struggling. His eyes were filled with sadness.

Who was willing, who could, who promised, and who was willing.

Who was born a Demon? who was willing to be a demon? Heaven and earth were heartless. Whether it was this little demon beast or Su Bai, they had both been treated like this before. If they could not cultivate to the right level, they had no choice at all.

Chao Lu ran in front of Xiaoxiao and bent down to take it. She held it in her arms and could not help but throw her entire body in front of Su Bai.

She said quietly, “Don’t look at me...”

Su Bai didn’t move and listened to her talking to herself.

Her shoulders were trembling, and Xiaoxiao was whining pitifully. She said softly, “Xiaoxiao, when I’m strong enough, when I’m strong enough, I’ll come and pick you up, okay?”

Xiaoxiao continued to protest. Perhaps in its undeveloped mind, it really didn’t understand why its master had suddenly abandoned it. However, it could feel the sadness in Chao Lu’s heart, so it just cried, until its voice became hoarse.

“Then Xiaoxiao, when you’re strong enough to protect me, can you come back to me?”

After a long time, Xiaoxiao did not move. She retracted her wings and nestled in their arms, no longer saying anything.

After saying this, she gritted her teeth and pressed Xiaoxiao into Su Bai’s arms. Without thinking, she turned her back and did not dare to look again.

In front of her was the soft and boneless Lan Ruo. She stood quietly like water and held Chao Lu’s hand. She said to Su Bai, “Go quickly. I’ll take sister Chao Lu to My Yun Jin Palace to wait for you.”

Lan Ruo was very clear-minded. She still couldn’t see the relationship between the two of them, just like how she never thought that Su Bai would like this kind of girl.

Chao lu asked, “Can I go and see Master First?”

Lan Ruo was stunned. She looked at Chao Lu’s calm face and suddenly saw her in a new light. She smiled and said, “The Heavenly Palace’s water realm is not something I can go to as I please.”

“I know Fairy Lan Ruo must have a way. I just want to meet Master.”

It was not Chao Lu’s character to make things difficult for Lan Ruo like this, but she still stubbornly stared at Lan Ruo until she sighed in relief and clapped her hands with a smile.

“I’ve really lost to you. Why do you have the same problem as Su Bai?”

Then she turned around and walked in front in a graceful manner. “Come with me.”

The water realm of the Heavenly Palace in the Ninth Heaven was called the place to guard the sinners and sinners, but it was actually an endless illusion that trapped people inside.

It had to be said that with Lan Zhi as her backer, Lan Ruo was indeed particularly popular in the ninth heaven. With just a slight shake of the glazed token, the enchantment outside the water realm automatically opened. She followed behind Lan Ruo, praising her in her heart for taking advantage of both sides.

Just as they were about to reach the gate, they heard the sound of the tian sha zither coming from inside.

The sound of the tian sha zither stunned Jiao Chaolu and made her face turn pale.

The sound of the zither suddenly stopped. It seemed that her master, Mo Chen, had already sensed that someone was approaching, so he stopped the ghost cries and wolf howls in time. Jiao Chaolu’s heart sank.

With a pale face, Lan Ruo smiled bitterly and said, “Hurry up and talk to your master. I’ll wait for you here.”

Nodding her head gratefully, Chao Lu quickly moved forward and merged into the enchantment. It was a pool of water. The water was light and could support people to float on it without falling down.

On the pool of water, the purple-robed woman was still sitting on it casually.

As soon as she saw the figure, Chao Lu swallowed back all the sadness and grievances in her stomach. She could only say with a little melancholy, “Master, why did you bring your zither here?”

She had really wanted to have some fun, but who would have thought that the sound of the damn zither would stop her ridiculous fantasies? She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Her master was punished by the heavens, yet she still had the mood to bring her own zither.

Mo Chen was slightly stunned. He looked at his disciple not far away and looked rather surprised. “This is my lifeblood. What’s wrong with playing the zither more?”

However, Chao Lu’s eyes suddenly turned red. “Master, aren’t you afraid that we’ll be worried? You’re alone like this...”

Mo Chen smiled and beckoned her over. He had a faint smile on his face, but he gently brushed her face with his hand. Instantly, it was like a gentle breeze blowing against her face. The turbid air gradually dissipated, and her agitated heart gradually calmed down. “Aren’t you here now?”

“Master, you even know this?”

“Even if I don’t know, I can still guess a thing or two. Don’t forget that I can’t remember my previous life clearly, so I can’t predict the future. How can I be so thorough?”

“Master, Xiaoxiao... Xiaoxiao has been sent away...”pulling on Mo Chen’s wide sleeves, as if she had found her own support, Chao Lu told him everything that had happened in the study one by one, feeling wronged, she also told Mo Chen about how er er had become the young master of Narcissus.

Mo Chen thought of the Little Vermillion Bird on Chao Lu’s head that was shining with a rainbow-colored glaze. Now that he looked at it again, it had returned to its black hair. He did not ask where the Little Vermillion Bird had gone. Instead, he suddenly remembered that it was the little vermillion bird that had affected his state of mind.

He had forgotten his past life and did not think about his next life. The first emotional fluctuation of this person who had forgotten his feelings was when the Little Vermillion Bird appeared in his eyes.

“In that case, xiao-xiao has been taken away by er-er, right?”

Chao Lu nodded and Mo Chen said, “This is also xiao-xiao’s opportunity. If she doesn’t go, she won’t return. If she doesn’t return, she won’t know. If she doesn’t know, she won’t be able to break through and attain Dao.”

She nodded as if she didn’t quite understand. Then, she gently tugged at her master’s clothes and raised her head to say, “Master, I’m afraid you’ll have to stay here for a few more days. In a hundred days, lu-er will be waiting outside to pick you up. You mustn’t get lost.”

Without Xiaoxiao, Chao Lu couldn’t guarantee that she would be able to find her master amidst the chaos of all living things, so she specially reminded her.

Mo Chen smiled. It was very faint but very real. “Of course master will remember what Lu'er said.”

Above the green-blue swamp, it was cool and refreshing. Chao Lu walked forward and slowly sat down at her master’s feet. She raised her head to look at the boundless blue swamp. “Master, Do You Feel Lonely Here?”

“No.”Mo Chen only answered her with two words.

How could a cultivator be bothered by the word lonely? Thousands of years ago, he guarded Mount Li alone and did not feel lonely. Now, he was just trapped in a water world for a hundred days. Whether he came out or not, he did not have much to worry about.

Chao Lu was silent. She hugged her knees and lowered her head without saying a word.

In the silence, the sound of the zither rang out again. It was still the sound of the damned zither. What was sorrow of the Ghost? This was sorrow of the ghost.

What was sorrow of the Ghost? What was sorrow of the Ghost? Mo Chen’s zither music indeed had such power.

However, Mo Chen would often immerse himself in the world of demonic music that he had created. Although Chao Lu had cultivated a pair of diamond-like indestructible ears, she always suspected that her master had once lost his soul. Otherwise, why would he not recognize her and why was his ear not working.

Fortunately, the zither that her master played was too sad. If the zither and the person were just decorations, it would still be pleasing to the eye.

Chao Lu sighed slightly and actually fell asleep on the spot. To her, being able to fall asleep to Mo Chen’s ghastly sorrow’s zither music was also a kind of cultivation.

In her dream, there was a person’s zither music that was as gentle as water. The sound of the zither trickled into her heart bit by bit. There was sorrow and hatred in one’s heart, but at this moment, silence was better than sound. A pair of slender hands brushed across the zither, and a string of pearls and jades appeared. The jade zither played and turned like a flowing spring for thousands of miles, flowing into one’s bedroom. Huge rocks were born under the fingers of the cliff, and flying waves rose up from the strings of the waves. At first, it seemed like there was thunder and wind gushing out, but at the same time, it seemed like it was whimpering and could not flow. That hand suddenly stopped again, and the zither music stopped.

Morning Dew let out a long sigh, wondering why the sound of the zither had stopped.

He suddenly opened his eyes and saw a half-smiling face right in front of him. On top of his head was a bed with two phoenixes flying in the air, and from the top of the bed hung a few strands of light yellow spiritual gauze.

“22nd, Where’s master? Where did you send Xiaoxiao? Where am I?”Su Bai, who was sitting at the side, frowned as he asked a series of questions.

However, his patience was not bad, and he actually answered unhurriedly, “You fell asleep in the water realm, and it was your master who sent you out of the water realm. I have sent Xiaoxiao to a very safe place in the mortal world. As for where it is, I absolutely can’t tell you for the time being.”
