the girl rubbed her eyes and gazed at the white-clad woman outside the dilapidated City God Temple, who was earnestly reading a book while riding a deer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl exclaimed softly, drawing the beaded curtain aside even further, her bright sparkling eyes intently fixed on the elegantly standing white-clad woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She laughed softly and said, “Isn’t this Sister Yun Rong?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such good spirits today, replacing swords with raising deer?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fancy some roast venison?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little deer’s gaze immediately turned mournful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter where it went, someone always seemed to covet its plumpness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It ate to satiety every day, not to satisfy these people’s desires, but to feed its master, alright?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The breeze stirred the curtains outside the carriage as the white-clad woman put down her book and gently stroked the little deer’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What seemed like a soothing touch was accompanied by her saying, “I’m a bit picky; I prefer lean meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This deer is too fat; I’m afraid it might be a bit greasy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can bear this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Certainly, the little deer couldn’t; it turned back, bared its large white teeth, and fiercely bit the woman’s pristine hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the deer’s current level of cultivation, breaking through a hundred refined steel with one bite wouldn’t be a hard task at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the woman simply smiled and teasingly said, “Little deer, stop it, it tickles.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little deer instantly felt defeated and hung its head low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl casually tossed the banana peel, crossed her fingers, and propped up her chin, her eyes curved as she watched the scene unfold: “Hmm~?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems Sister Yun Rong is quite fond of this deer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she called her affectionately, her eyes brimmed with laughter; yet in their depths was a proud and disdainful aloofness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if she were merely going through the motions of greeting the woman known as the fourth of the Thirteen Swords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The morning light was crisp and bright, casting a particularly clear reflection on Yun Rong’s unadorned face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pair of eyes as deep as water glanced at the girl, the noble crane robe adorning her and catching the morning light entering her sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The feathers were woven from those of the immortal cranes from Buzhou Mountain; the robe was spun from the thread of Spiritual Cranes kept within the Clock Flower Immortal Mansion, spotlessly clean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a garment so luxurious that even a princess at the pinnacle of power might not be able to afford it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Yun Rong remembered that this girl always had an intense passion for brightly colored clothes, only during that incident years ago…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mid-recollection, Yu Rong intently stared at the old Sword Box hidden behind her and cracked a faint smile, “Miss Fang, with such an extravagant dress, are you on your way to a funeral?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath her gentle smile was a surgical sharpness in her words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl’s slender brows like crescent moons slightly furrowed, and her bright, large eyes also narrowed gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A look that retained the girl’s innocence dissipated in the blink of an eye, replaced by a dangerous gaze akin to a lone wolf in the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People revered the Thirteen Swords, but she did not see herself a part of the masses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, the white-clad woman wouldn’t be intimidated by the gaze of a junior; she still wore a smile, but her sight moved past the golden Jade Chariot to the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of shoes crunching fine stones approached from afar and paused beside the Jade Chariot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl’s narrowly squinted eyes quickly softened, and turning her head, she spotted a golden-robed youth standing quietly with an umbrella.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The youth was not looking at her, nor did he even let his gaze fall upon the nine unicorns radiating a divine glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His brows and eyes were calm as he quietly watched the white-clad girl—more precisely, the little deer beneath her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little deer, wildly excited, let out a sharp cry, ready to sprint towards Baili An.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But who would have thought that a slender hand would press down on its little head and in an instant, it couldn’t move a muscle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Rong chuckled and bent down, patting the little deer’s full belly with her other hand:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Truly an ungrateful little deer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have been treating you well, feeding you good food for over ten days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Look at this little belly; it’s almost touching the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To turn your back on me now, it truly breaks my heart.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little deer’s eyes widened, looking back at her in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her exaggeration knew no bounds; its belly was not about to hit the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn’t it ashamed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could you please have some decency before its owner, Madam, and leave it some dignity?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even as a mere animal, given time, it could still become a graceful young lady, couldn’t it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was bad enough that you described it as greasy and rolly-polly, but to say such things in front of its master was just too unbearable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An couldn’t hold back a muffled laugh: “It seems that the young lady has been getting along with the little deer quite well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Moderately,” Yun Rong replied with modesty and a smile in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When her gaze landed on Baili An, as if capturing something, her expression showed surprise, followed by her briskly saying, “I heard from the Miss of the Yin Family a while back that my unworthy junior brother has been under your care.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An was slightly taken aback: “Junior brother…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes shifted to the longsword sheathed and sealed behind her, suddenly realizing, “So you are also one of the Thirteen Swords of Tianxi?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not show surprise though the realization came; he had personally witnessed how formidable this woman’s skills were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power in her every movement was far beyond Jin Sheng’s match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the presence of this woman, Jin Sheng was likely just a little brother indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thirteen Swords of Tianxi, fourth sword, Yun Rong,” she said with an undisguised smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An immediately showed his respect: “From Kongcang Mountain, Si Chen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Both of you seem to be enjoying your conversation so much; don’t you think it’s a bit rude to neglect me?” complained the girl inside the chariot, her voice filled with discontent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the moment Baili An appeared, her gaze had never left him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl pulled down another banana, seemingly casual but not hiding the defiant look in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She waved the banana in front of Baili An, asking, “Want a banana?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An, gazing at the young lady dressed in a crane robe and waving a banana, appeared to be in a trance and forgot to reply.\u003C\u002Fp>",1352,"2026-06-06T15:16:24.479Z",1,"novelbin.me","916fb399b6600d858459020db0f5fecc03aa595fe25e1cf683886f82cceaf280","journey-to-the-end-of-the-night-chapter-104","journey-to-the-end-of-the-night-chapter-102",1594,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fjourney-to-the-end-of-the-night-cover.jpg"]
