inwardly, knowing she had misspoken and was about to remedy the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man opposite holding an umbrella responded with a serious bow, showing no embarrassment at being caught off-guard; his demeanor was entirely natural, “Thank you for your concern, miss, I did not sleep last night.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such an honest, straightforward answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what they didn’t know was that when Baili An spoke, he meant it literally; corpse demons do not need to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The color rose slightly to the cheeks of the Lihe Sect’s Senior Sister, unsure how to continue the conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lips stammered for a moment before she slowly asked, “Young master, about Jiujiu…Is she…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An squatted down, tilting the umbrella to hide his slightly reddened ear tips, and picked up the small rabbit, saying, “Jiujiu is asleep.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young master…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I think you should discuss this matter thoroughly with our Sect Master.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An nodded, “I intend to do just that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the solitary peak cliff, the great river roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wild wind in the mountains tore at Baili An’s clothes and hair as he faced the elderly man on the cliff and stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xuan took a deep breath, his temples white as silver tangled, his eyes full of deep anger, grinding his teeth as if he were bleeding, “You dare!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An shook his head at the old man, his voice calm, “In this world, it’s not about daring or not, but about willing or not.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Impudent youth!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Li, I did not come here today to argue with you, for in this world, many things are unreasonable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An gave him a deep look, “I will leave the mountain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder was startled, not expecting to hear such a statement, but what followed was boundless rage that burned him, turning his complexion as fiery as a War Ghost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you had intended to leave Jiujiu and go down the mountain from the start, why then did you come to provoke her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is what Jiujiu wants,” he said lightly, collapsing the old man’s fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jiujiu’s…wishes?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An said, “Jiujiu asked me to leave, so I will leave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man had not expected the matter to be resolved so simply; he thought the young corpse demon would cause endless trouble, not resting until he had driven the entire Lihe Sect to demonic vows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet unexpectedly, because of a single word from Jiujiu, he was so compliant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you truly wish to give up Jiujiu just like that?” the old man asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An looked up at him, “Why would Senior think that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving the mountain and giving up on Jiujiu seem to be two different matters.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the old man could grow angry again, Baili An lowered his gaze, his Autumnwater Sword across his chest in its sheath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior thinks that as a corpse demon, I should not be tied to the Immortal Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One human and one demon, ultimately different paths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If outsiders were to know, it would undoubtedly give them leverage, a direct confrontation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xuan’s eyes were heavy with anger, “Since you know the crux of it, why then do you harm my Jiujiu!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An lowered his eyelids, “Jiujiu said I was good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xuan’s expression froze, his heart filled with great hatred, “Jiujiu has no experience with affairs of the heart, her thoughts are naive, merely deceived by your appearance for a moment, how could she know the fatal harm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you truly cared for her, you should stay away from her!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiujiu has exceptional cultivation Talent, a bright path in the Immortal Sect—how could you let her waste it by falling into the hands of a corpse demon like you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stay away?” Baili An pursed his lips, “Then, Senior, why don’t you tell me—after I leave Jiujiu, what will you do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His calm gaze finally held a trace of cold irony, “As a family of the Immortal Sect seeking the path, for her sake, you should naturally stay away, then pair her with a suitable companion to pursue the immortal path?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xuan’s face grew more unpleasant, though the youth’s words were blunt, they rang true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because it was true, he found it humiliating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An’s eyelids gradually fell, “Without permission, Si Chen will not presume to declare that Jiujiu is my woman!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, if Senior intends to betrothe Jiujiu to another, I may indeed make the Lihe Sect disappear from this world.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xuan’s eyes widened, bloodshot, “You truly are extremely arrogant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you not afraid that I will call upon powerful sects, issue a hundred orders to expel demons, and eliminate your evil nature!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An’s words were neither warm nor harsh, “Senior is welcome to try.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His disposition was gentle, but that did not mean he lacked the sharpness and ferocity of a young man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His disposition was not greedy, but that did not mean he had no desires.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once something fell into his hands, he would not overly confine it, he would let it soar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he would not weakly watch it fall into the hands of another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That kind of love that required letting go for her sake was best left to the righteous heroes in the tales.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, to the old man, he was a demon, and he did not mind being utterly demonic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, how far had things actually gone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After lying in a coffin for two hundred years, was he not allowed a little temper?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The conversation ended on a sour note.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky was clear and the snow colder, making the mountains and earth foggy despite the bright sunlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ancient trail and small pavilion in the mountains were chilly, long curtains hanging low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several unicorns whiter and more sacred than the snow lowered their heads to drink from the stream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the ancient pavilion flaking with black paint, a young girl wrapped in a snowy feather coat sat alone in the Cold Pavilion, brewing tea with snow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moonlight and clear wind mixed with the thick fog and clear snow, coinciding with the sky cracking open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A beam of heavenly light fell on the young girl’s shoulders, draped in plain feathers, adding a layer of utmost luxurious and beautiful charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl had very attractive overturned lips, which, when slightly pursed without a smile, gave off a cold and detached air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The unicorns’ neck bells jingled lightly as they raised their heads and looked in one direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl seemed to sense something, her slender eyes lifting slightly, revealing her deeply inked pupils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spotting the young man with the umbrella outside the Cold Pavilion, she picked up the White Jade Cup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chilly lips warmed by the tea mist spread a careless smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yo?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t this the little son-in-law of Lihe Sect?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To have survived in Su Jing’s hands and not died, truly a great misfortune yet a blessing indeed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, Fang Geyu gently pushed a cup in Baili An’s direction, her jade-white fingers lightly tapping the tabletop, her eyebrows raised, “Come in and sit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t holding an umbrella tiring?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The White Jade Cup by her fingers held a fresh, pomegranate-red liquid, the cold wind bringing a faint sweet aroma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An’s gaze landed unexpectedly on the girl’s slender, bandaged wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the snow-white bandage, not a hint of red bled through, suggesting a precious medicinal ointment with hemostatic effects had been applied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He closed his umbrella and entered the pavilion, lifting the cup and downing its contents without hesitation or refusal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood had already been shed, and to refuse now would just be a waste of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood of Fang Geyu was surprisingly sweet and mellow, unexpectedly even more so than Jin Sheng of the Thirteen Swords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Corpse Pearl inside him was noticeably smoother in circulation due to the fresh blood.\u003C\u002Fp>",1325,"2026-06-06T15:16:24.479Z",1,"novelbin.me","676cd12e40191eba5db133e056d6e214b7bc789b3844a529cfe073b839fcb3a3","journey-to-the-end-of-the-night-chapter-178","journey-to-the-end-of-the-night-chapter-176",1594,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fjourney-to-the-end-of-the-night-cover.jpg"]
