“Alright, I will follow you. In this life, as long as you don’t abandon me then I won’t abandon you even in death!”
The teen didn’t think much of his vow that day, but he really would die for her eventually somewhere into the future.
……
Bai Yan silently stood there as she watched the scenes flashed before herself. First it was the original meeting of herself and Black Turtle, then through their growth and eventually the final battle in the Celestial Realm where the sky has been stained with blood.
“I, Black White, promised her I will use my life to defend her!” Replacing that stubborn young teen with a attitude was now a tall standing and upright man who carried an air of reliability and strength.
From the day she took him in, Black White has vowed to follow this woman for life! That’s why in spite of the terrible odds and numerous injuries along his body, this last surviving member of the Black Turtle clan would never yield or submit before the enemy.
At this sight, Bai Yan’s heart instinctively clenched up and wanted to help. But the lady knew she couldn’t move; in fact, she could do nothing here. This wasn’t real, she knew that, but it doesn’t change the fact that her emotions are swirling out of control. Thankfully sanity had the better grip in this case, otherwise it would beat the whole purpose of falling into this state again of seeing the past.
Doing nothing as the battle raged onwards, growing fiercer and deadlier with each passing minute, it soon became clear neither side could really come out on top. Unlike the other three sacred beasts, Black Turtle had the strongest defenses of them all. Even when outnumbered, the attacks aren’t able to truly penetrate his skin, that was until he came….
From out of the blue without anyone noticing on the battlefield, a powerful force reared its ugly head out from behind Black White’s view. It’s a blade comprised of condensed air, a silent yet deadly strike that penetrated straight into the man’s heart and plowing a hole right through that chest where blood sprayed out like a fountain in it’s wake.
“You…” In light of the lethal injury, the demon general didn’t fall; instead, he fixed his gaze upwards and onto the clouds where a mysterious figure floated. In his eye, there’s shock, disbelief, but more were that of sorrowful pain at the recognition.
Bai Yan followed this gaze of course. In her discovery, the person responsible for this sudden attack appeared hazy and shrouded behind a cover of mist in her view. She wanted to get a better look, finally moving her legs to go forwards. Unfortunately, like all the times in the past, this was when her consciousness got dragged back out from the deep state.
“Black White…” Standing there with a solemn attitude after recognizing where she’s at, “I will find out who that person is, I promise you….”
She never accepts betrayal, especially those whom she trusts!
“I believe in you Mistress.”
Because of the contract they just formed, Black White had changed his way of addressing this demon queen and no longer called her his queen.
“During this period, you don’t need to stay with me, go protect my children instead. If I’m not mistaken, it won’t be long before that enemy begins to move against us….”
The only thing she couldn’t put down was her children, especially Bai Xiachen who has been with her the longest.
“Yes, Mistress.”
……
Demon Realm.
A blood-colored moon hung high in the sky as Chu Yi Yi – the Holy Land’s princess – strode through the open streets. She’s feeling rather creeped out right now due to the strange chills running through her back: “This Demon Realm is so scary, just like Di Xiao Wan’s older brother. No wonder that guy’s so frightening.”
