Chapter 4: The person’s white dress was stained with blood, her pretty face was as cold as ice, yet she looked like the warm sun in winter.

[With the sad end of the Dragon Blood Ritual, you seem to see a bleak future. ]

[However, the gears of fate will not end here. ]

[The fate of 'ill-fated' is activated! 】

[Your 'Dragon Blood Ceremony' had just ended, and Gu Hua turned around and left without any regrets, leaving Gu Hongyu staring at you with evil eyes.]

[However, the entire 'Xuanqing Lake' suddenly shook violently for a moment! ]

[“The evil dragon is unjust and must be killed today!” A soft cry came from outside the lake. Soon, the smell of blood spread around. It was the blood of the demon.]

[“Wutong Xie Family, Qinjian Pavilion, and Xuanqing Government?!” Gu Hua, who had just left, suppressed his surging anger and his voice echoed throughout the entire Xuanqing Lake.]

[“Since when have the warriors of the ‘sect’ been able to mingle with the lackeys of the ‘government’?” Gu Hua soared into the air, then sneered and looked at the outsider cultivators who had stepped into Xuanqing Lake.]

[“You evil dragon, you kidnapped the daughter of the Xie family, the true disciple of the Qin and Sword, and I have negotiated with you many times, but you ignored me. You should have expected this day to come!” The white-clothed man who used the Qin as a sword in Qin and Sword Pavilion was furious. As soon as they disagreed, they started fighting! ]

['Bang, bang, bang! !' The sound of the collision was extremely far away. You, who are still a mortal at the moment, could only barely see it clearly. There were three beings who could compete with Gu Hua, fighting with him!]

[At the same time, following the arrival of the three powerful men, more than thirty or forty skilled warriors have already strode into the Xuanqing Lake! ]

[This former 'paradise of demons' has turned into a bloody battlefield. ]

[Among them, there is a woman holding a sword in a red palace skirt, with a very beautiful appearance like a candle in the sunset.]

[Just in time, I killed them in the side hall where you held the 'Dragon Blood Ceremony'! ]

[When this woman broke into the palace, you smelled the strong smell of blood, which actually came from her.]

[At the same time, you also discovered that the woman was not wearing a red dress, but a white skirt stained red with blood! ]

[But the strange thing is that demon blood should be dirty, but when set off by her clear eyes and snow-white skin, it is as beautiful as a crabapple tree for no reason.]

[All of a sudden, a line from a poem from your past life flashed through your mind: 'The crowd is full of smiles, and the colors of the world are like dust.']

in memory.

"Deng deng deng"

The woman's footsteps were clear as she stepped over the corpses of the demons one by one, getting closer and closer with each step.

Ji Xia, who was Gu Yue, looked up and happened to see the woman's true face.

Bright eyes, white teeth, white clothes covered with blood.

A casual silk ribbon held up her waterfall-like black hair, and one hand held a long sword as thin as a cicada's wing. Without any other decorations, she looked stunning.

In his past and present lives, Ji Xia had never seen a woman with such beauty and appearance.

But immediately, his expression changed:
"and many more,"

"What a piece of shit!"

[Inside the side hall at this moment, there are only Gu Hongyu and you, as well as a bunch of demons that have turned into corpses.]

[Gu Hongyu felt a strong threat from the sword-wielding woman, and his expression changed. He followed closely, without even a moment's hesitation, and slapped you on the back!]

[A palm with overwhelming demonic power nearly displaced your internal organs, and sent your body flying.]

[However, fortunately, you just awakened the dragon blood, and you were able to withstand the attack, but you still spat out a mouthful of blood and were seriously injured.]

[What’s even more serious than this is that you find yourself looking even paler.]

[Gu Hongyu's palm hit you and sent you flying towards the woman's sword! ]

【Gu Hongyu turned around and ran towards the exit without even looking back: "You are just a half-demon with a worthless life. You have awakened mixed blood and brought shame to your father. You have no place to stay in Xuanqing Lake."

[“If you die here, it won’t be considered as burying you!” As the last sentence fell, Gu Hongyu’s figure became more and more distant, and he was about to leave.]

You run pretty fast!

Ji Xia almost burst into curse.

How many of your men did she kill, fellow tribesman?
As Ji Xia of Gu Yue, he did not gain any benefit from Xuanqing Lake. Moreover, he was originally of human race, so he naturally watched from the sidelines and did not care how many monsters died.

But you, the dignified 'Young Master of Xuanqing Lake', the legitimate son of two dragons, don't even have the courage to fight the enemy?

This is not a dragon.
It's a bug!

Even if a real man knows he is unbeatable, he should not act like a stray dog!
At this moment, even Ji Xia felt that his life would most likely end here.

Life is full of twists and turns, and it is true.

However.
[A pungent smell of blood, accompanied by an icy jade hand, unexpectedly stopped you from a distance.]

[You were shaken by the blow, and with a quick glance, you were surprised to find that the woman did not kill you, and even gave you a wisp of "qi" to help you calm your internal organs. ] [You were a little confused, and only heard her lower her head and whisper: "Half-demon?" Because you couldn't figure out the situation, you just nodded silently. ]

[After hearing this, the woman looked in the direction where Gu Hongyu left and said, "So that's how it is." She frowned and looked at you gently, then waved her long sleeves and said silently, "Go!"]

[As she finished speaking, the sword in her hand was covered with a layer of white light. Following the direction of her slender jade finger, it instantly crossed more than ten feet. After a few breaths, a scream was heard, and then it stopped abruptly.]

[Then there was a 'thump' sound, and a corpse fell to the ground. ]

[As the legitimate son of a dragon, although he has not truly awakened his demon body, Gu Hongyu has already established his Wuguan foundation.]

[As the woman's sword left and returned, he was killed instantly. ]

"Good to kill!"

Ji Xia cheered!
This fairy appears to be cold and aloof.

But in Ji Xia's eyes at this moment, she made him more excited than any other person with a beautiful smile.

[When you saw Gu Hongyu die, you felt relieved physically and mentally, and the pent-up anger over the past decade was almost completely cleared.]

[Looking up at the girl again at this moment, even if she is covered in demon blood, you can no longer be cold to her. You open your mouth to say something, but you don’t know how to start, so you have to remain silent.]

【Or】

[In the past ten years of your life, you have only seen cold eyes. 】

[But the fleeting warmth in the woman's eyes, or perhaps it was heartache, was a color you had never seen before.]

[Although I don't know why, in this world, except for your biological mother 'Xie Wei' whom you have never seen once, no, maybe even she will hate and be indifferent to you. ]

[As you think about this with self-mockery, you actually feel a little sad. ]

[At this time, the woman spoke, her voice was clear and cold, as if without any emotion, which was consistent with her personality.]

[But you seem to have discovered a secret, that is, she may not be such a person. ]

【“Song Fanjing.” she said.】

[“My name is Yunluanshan, Song Fanjing.” The woman looked at you with a complicated expression.]

[“Your face is somewhat like someone.”]

[“Your mother is the legitimate daughter of the Xie family, Xie Wei?” Song Fanjing asked.]

[After a moment of silence, you nodded and said "hmm", as if you didn't want to talk about this matter.]

[After these words came out, Song Fanjing's pupils shrank: "As expected." Then she pondered for a long time, and looked back outside the hall. When she saw that everything was almost settled, she turned back and continued to speak:]

[“I just happened to pass by here and encountered the Xie family, Qinjian Pavilion, and the government. So I wielded my sword to slay the demons and monsters. It won’t be long before I leave. You.”]

[Song Fanjing looks at you, as if pondering.]

[“Qinjian Pavilion is a ‘famous family’ inheritance and will definitely not accept half-demons. The government said that Empress Dazhao is an unprecedented and extraordinary person, but the turmoil has not subsided, and it is hard to say what is going on.”]

[“These three parties will pacify Xuanqing Lake and must wipe out the demons there. If you were born by Gu Hua or someone else, it would be very difficult, but with the bloodline of the Xie family, you should be able to survive.”]

[“Xie Wei is the legitimate daughter of Xie Qiaoxuan, the head of the Wutong Xie Family. You are also his legitimate grandson. Based on this relationship, the Xie Family should accept you.”]

Ji Xia listened quietly. Just by skimming through his memory, he found the woman's pretty profile pleasing to the eye.

But the next moment——

[1. Blood connection: Follow Song Fanjing's advice and go to 'Wutong Xie Family'. Unlock location: Wutong Xie Family. ]

[2. Heart towards royal power: Learn about the existence of the "government" from Song Fanjing, choose the nearest one and join the "Xuanqing Yamen", unlock location: Xuanqing City. ]

[3. A beam of light in the darkness: Song Fanjing brings you choices, but whether it is the Xie family, the Xuanqing government, or the Qinjiang Pavilion, they are all unfamiliar to you.

But the feeling she gives you is different, so you want to take a chance and follow her to unlock the location: Yunluan Mountain. 】

"turn out to be,"

"The so-called 'choice' is actually here!"

Originally, I was just like a 'spectator', and although it was no different from experiencing it personally, I felt a certain sense of powerlessness in Jixia.

Looking at the three options that were slowly engraved, his eyes finally lit up.

If he were really asked to choose.
Is there any need to ask?
Of course, I would choose the fairy in front of me!

And this guy looks like a natural born protagonist at first glance!

If I follow her, how can my path of cultivation go wrong?
It’s great to enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree!
