Journey to the End of the Night
Chapter 81 - 81 81 A Rainfall

81: Chapter 81: A Rainfall 81: Chapter 81: A Rainfall Yin Baishuang immediately said angrily, “Damn thing, who was ever kind to you!”

The woman in white tilted her head with a smile and said, “Then why did the miss talk so much to me today?

If Miss truly despised me, you should have let me enter the game and watched coldly from the sidelines.”

Yin Baishuang’s expression choked, and she turned her body to leave only her back to the woman, saying coldly, “I don’t care about your life or death!”

After speaking, she actually did not turn back, jumping directly into the pitch-black abyss.

Watching the fiery red figure being devoured by darkness in an instant, the woman in white chuckled softly while touching her lips: “What a dishonest fellow.”

Roar!!!

Just at that moment, from the depths of the abyss where the woman in white’s gaze lay, erupted a majestic, shocking sound like that of a volcanic eruption.

Almost immediately after, flames illuminated the entire abyss, with the shrill death roars of fierce ghosts and demon echoing from within.

A fireball rose from the depths of the abyss, its scorching heat melting the entrance of the abyss, expanding it several times over.

The little deer cried out sharply, stepping back repeatedly, but soon the flames had reached its feet, its eyes filled with urgent fear.

Yet the woman in white casually slapped the deer’s rump and said in a relaxed tone, “What are you scared of?

With me here, you’re afraid of becoming roasted venison?”

After speaking, she seemed to recall something and subconsciously licked her lips, laughing softly, “Though, it has been quite some time since I’ve tasted roasted venison, I do miss it.”

The little deer suddenly turned its head, its gaze shocked and forlorn as it looked at her.

This unreliable woman is terrifying!

What should I do?

I really miss my master; I don’t want to stay by her side anymore!

Despite the scary words from the woman in white’s mouth, her actions were without the slightest hesitation.

With those two gentle pats on the deer’s rump, two streams of pure and transparent Sword Intent glided out from the palm of her hand.

One stream of Sword Intent supported the little deer’s hooves and body, lifting it gently into the air.

The other stream of Sword Intent slashed out vertically, shattering the terrifying flames surging towards them into pieces.

As the deer’s body ascended, the woman in white’s gaze shifted, and five meters to her right, she saw a white piece floating in the air.

The white piece shattered.

A spirit light poured out, transforming into a beautiful image of a woman in red, standing in Sword Flight.

She hooked her lips, about to tease her with a few words.

Yet, she saw Yin Baishuang with wildly dancing black hair, her eyes icily fixed on the man wrapped in the raging flames in the abyss.

“Fire Scripture, Xiao Ming!”

Baili An looked down at Jin Sheng, bloodied and unconscious in the underbrush, frowning and asking, “What are you doing here?”

Meng Zifei replied with a bitter smile, “The way we came in was already blocked by the Corpse Tide and Demon Beasts; there was no escape.

Carrying the Thirteen Swords master, I had no choice but to flee this way.”

Baili An furrowed his brow, about to speak but was interrupted by Lin Yuan, who said, “Let’s leave this place before we talk.”

Meng Zifei said with a laugh, “Lucky for us to have met you, otherwise I wouldn’t have known how to break the barrier up ahead.”

At the end of the Southeast Mountain Realm, there was also a Barrier, but Lin Yuan could solve it.

Once they escaped the Mountain Realm, Lin Yuan quickly closed the Barrier, temporarily blocking the footsteps of those pursuing them from behind.

The entire Kongcang Mountain, as Meng Zifei had said upon entering the mountain, was now teeming with demons, and evil creatures like the corpse demon and Tree Demon were almost everywhere to be seen.

Stretching across nine hundred miles of mountains and adjacent to the Endless Sea Region, without a dragon to pull the boat, Baili An naturally could not leave the mountain quickly.

Not to mention that he was accompanied by Jin Sheng, who was critically wounded, and Lin Yuan, who was not able to move freely.

After clearing the corpse demon from the fields, they rested in a secluded and remote cave, far from the Mountain Realm.

The cave was naturally formed, its entrance concealed by dense, wild vegetation, making it difficult to detect their presence.

More cleverly, this cave was not a dead end but connected to another cave a hundred meters away, making it a strategic retreat.

Of course, this particular cave was discovered by the terrain-savvy Meng Zifei.

In the moist and chilly cave, Baili An did not start a fire, as the flames would bring the smell of burning vegetation and attract attention.

He used only the Luminous Pearl Lin Yuan had given him for light.

After settling Jin Sheng, Lin Yuan took out several Zhu Fish fruits and passed them to Baili An, “Zhu Fish fruit can rapidly restore Human Spirit and nourish the Physique.

His body is heavily depleted and injured, so I hope it will help him.”

Baili An nodded, took them, and given the mild nature of the Zhu Fish fruit, he promptly fed them all to Jin Sheng.

The Spirit Fruit in the Mountain Realm was extraordinary, and although far less remarkable than the mysterious fruit Baili An had once given to Jin Sheng, after consuming them, his depleted Spiritual Power began to accumulate once more, naturally repairing the injuries within his body.

Roar!

Outside, the thunderous roar signaled a sudden downpour, clearly the drizzle had turned into a heavy rain.

Baili An glanced at Lin Yuan, picked her up horizontally, and turned back to instruct Meng Zifei, “Young Master Meng, please help look after Jin Sheng.

I’ll be out for a moment.”

Lin Yuan glanced at Meng Zifei, biting her teeth to suppress the scream that almost escaped her.

It wasn’t until Baili An left the cave that she trembled with anger, bit down on Baili An’s arm, and mumbled indistinctly, “I told you not to touch my tail.”

The horizontal carry and carrying her on his back were naturally different, so his cold palm naturally cradled her tail once more.

Lin Yuan’s biting didn’t seem to bother Baili An too much.

He looked up at the pouring rain and said with a wry smile, “Now, the rivers in the whole Kongcang Mountain have been tainted with the demon energy of the sea demon, and your body has cracked badly, and your webbing is also injured.

Only this natural rainstorm can temporarily alleviate your pain.

Wait until dawn tomorrow, once the corpse demons of this mountain can no longer roam, I’ll then find you a suitable lake to live in.”

The nibbling stopped abruptly.

Her clear blue eyes stared blankly for a moment before she slowly buried her face in the crook of his arm, her slender shoulders shivering under the pelting of cold raindrops.

She had yet to fully escape the old nightmare of her clan, and just when she finally found a peaceful home, a new nightmare began.

Was she really the abomination with the blue tail, the one her clan father spoke of, the one born with a matching iris between her eyebrows, meant to be a portent of ill omen?

Her voice choked slightly, breaking like rainwater, “The lakes are too deep, the water too cold…

I no longer have companions to embrace for warmth.”

All the Merfolk in the entire lake, except for Lin Yuan, were violated to death by those creatures dressed in human skins, legs forcible grown to be defiled by humans.

The souls of the Merfolk, filled with resentment and unable to return to the sea, would never receive the blessings and protection of the Sea God again.

The icy rain washed away the blood from Lin Yuan’s body and further etched the scars in her heart.

Baili An had never comforted anyone; he could only hold her tighter and softly say, “Then endure this piercing cold and survive.

Remember this bone-deep hatred, and live on.”
