Chapter 1215: Chapter 1215: Life and Death Together, Fortune and Misfortune Side by Side

In the Martial Dao World, power is revered above all. Even the smartest minds and most cunning schemes cannot withstand the might of indestructible fists.

If Madam Linghu truly comes pursuing, with her formidable strength alone, she could sweep through all the Martial Artists on this sea vessel.

Even Fang Bai, who possesses the ability to challenge those beyond his level, cannot contend with her.

That is why Fang Bai is worried.

"Meet force with force, dam water with earth. If Madam Linghu does not pursue us, then all is well. Should she come after us, let’s join forces and fight with all our might. As for life and death, leave that to fate."

Linghu Qianjiao said softly with a faint smile.

Her demeanor is gentle and uncontentious, and she views the potential life-or-death crisis with a certain detachment.

For Fang Bai, who has lived through millennia and reborn in two lifetimes, he no longer dwells on life or death. His actual concern lies solely in the safety of Linghu Qianjiao and the others.

"I’ve learned the unspeakable secrets of Misty Island, the one Madam Linghu truly wants to kill is likely me. If my life can be exchanged for your safety..."

"Don’t speak of such inauspicious things!"

Before Fang Bai could finish his sentence, a white figure flashed in front of him, and a fragrant breeze fluttered as Linghu Qianjiao’s palm gently covered his mouth.

"Brother Fang, we already knew each other in the Secular World, and you survived many life-and-death crises back then, always emerging from danger unscathed. It shows that you are a man of deep fortune; this time, nothing will happen to you... absolutely nothing!"

As Linghu Qianjiao spoke, her voice trembled slightly. In her eyes, brighter than the moonlight, a layer of mist appeared.

Fang Bai reflected on his life since his rebirth; indeed, as Linghu Qianjiao described, from the Secular World to the True Martial Realm, he faced numerous life-and-death crises, surviving each as if indestructible, growing stronger each time.

Even Fang Bai felt that heaven truly favored him, and Linghu Qianjiao’s words about his deep fortune seemed quite reasonable.

"Everyone’s life can’t always be smooth sailing. Even if I’m lucky, that luck will run out someday..."

"Brother Fang..."

Fang Bai was interrupted by Linghu Qianjiao once again.

"If...if you truly meet your demise, I will follow you, joining you on the Netherworld Road!"

Linghu Qianjiao looked up at Fang Bai, her lips trembling slightly and her eyes tearful as she spoke.

Though her voice was soft, her tone was extremely resolute.

Linghu Qianjiao values deep relationships and is fiercely loyal, dedicating her whole heart to those she loves.

Among Fang Bai’s confidantes, Linghu Qianjiao might not have known him the longest, but her devotion is no less than anyone.

Fang Bai believes that if he indeed perishes at the hands of Madam Linghu, Linghu Qianjiao would immediately end her own life.

"You silly girl!"

As Fang Bai watched Linghu Qianjiao, her garments fluttering in the sea breeze making her seem fragile, he was moved and held her small hand that covered his mouth in his palms.

"Enough of this talk of death. I was only joking! My life is my own, not dictated by fate. Let alone Madam Linghu, even the heavens can’t take my life so easily! In any case, no one can take Fang Bai’s life!"

Fang Bai declared dominantly, his face showing no hint of worry.

Fang Bai was not truly free from worry; instead, he deeply concealed his concerns within his heart.

He did not want his emotions to affect those around him, causing them to become pessimistic and despairing.

"Brother Fang, promise me, no matter what happens in the future, we will face it together, hand in hand, in life and death, sharing our fortunes and misfortunes. Okay?"

Linghu Qian Jiao slightly leaned her body and slowly moved closer into Fang Bai’s embrace, softly speaking.

With a gentle stretch of his arm, Fang Bai enveloped Linghu Qian Jiao’s waist, pulling her into his arms, and whispered into her ear, "Okay, I promise you!"

The warm breath he exhaled as he spoke entered Linghu Qian Jiao’s ears, making her cheeks blush and her earlobes heat up. She felt as if all her strength was being drawn out, her legs tremblingly weak. If not for Fang Bai’s arm holding her, she could barely stand.

Fang Bai smiled slightly, tightening his grip, holding Linghu Qian Jiao closer, their bodies touching, feeling each other’s warmth.

Some Martial Artists standing far away on the deck cast envious glances towards them occasionally. Initially, Linghu Qian Jiao was somewhat shy, but later she relaxed, gently wrapping her delicate arms around Fang Bai’s waist and resting her head comfortably on his chest.

The two cuddled together, facing the sea, watching the silver moonlight casting over the surging waves and listening to the sound of the waves gently slapping the ship, a serenity filling their hearts.

As the night progressed, the sea breeze grew stronger, and thick clouds covered the moon in the night sky, turning everything pitch black.

The Martial Artists standing on deck found it uninteresting and returned to their rooms one after another.

"Qian Jiao, you should go back to your room and rest too."

Fang Bai gently patted Linghu Qian Jiao’s shoulder, steadying her body, and spoke softly.

"And you?"

Linghu Qian Jiao looked up at Fang Bai, her eyes brimming with tender affection, her demeanor and tone a bit languid.

She had just been leaning in Fang Bai’s embrace, feeling as warm and safe as a bird returning to its nest or a ship entering the harbor, completely relaxed, nearly falling asleep. Now, leaving Fang Bai’s embrace, she felt reluctant.

"I, of course, will also go back to rest!"

Fang Bai spoke while casting a glance towards the dark sea in the distance, his eyes briefly flashing.

After watching Linghu Qian Jiao enter her room, Fang Bai also vanished into his own room.

Unlike Linghu Qian Jiao who immediately began meditating upon returning to her room, Fang Bai quickly wrote down a few sentences on paper and placed them in a conspicuous spot in the room, then concealed his presence and left the room again.

Facing the pitch-black sea, Fang Bai took a deep breath, his expression turning serious and stern.

"May this separation bring us both safety and peace. I hope that we can reunite in Shenwu Continent soon!"

Fang Bai turned his head, his gaze sweeping past the rooms of Su Linglong and others, then took a deep breath and, with a resolute expression, leapt over the high railing of the ship, soaring towards the sea like Dapeng spreading its wings.

Fang Bai left without a sound; even the crew member on the ship’s highest watchtower did not notice anything.

Fang Bai circulated Wind Essence Qi, his body floating down as light as cotton, and just before reaching the sea, he took a wooden plank several feet long from his Spatial Ring and threw it down.

The plank hit the water and bobbed on the wavy surface, and Fang Bai’s figure then landed on the plank. Using the buoyancy of the plank, he wouldn’t fall into the water even without using Essence Energy.

Fang Bai stepped on the plank, adjusted the direction, and drove both Wind Essence Qi and Water Element Qi, using the wind and the current to shoot away in the direction opposite to the ship like an arrow.

Far from the ship, on the sea surface, a stunningly beautiful woman stood on the back of a gigantic Sea Beast, her mouth curled into a sinister smile, her gaze as sharp as a knife.
