Chapter 90: Miss, Fu Bo asks you to return home

While the ten Taotie cubs were feasting heartily.

A graceful figure descended before Lin Yang.

Her sleeves fluttered, and she was enveloped in a rich floral fragrance.

Exuding the vigorous spirit of all things, her brows and eyes shone, beautiful as a dream.

The visitor was none other than Bai Hua Xianzi.

She slightly bowed to Lin Yang, without extra talk, only speaking with an excited face.

"Young master, we won."

"Indeed."

When she was trapped by Zi Youying on the Purple Spirit Flower Altar.

She thought this battle was already beyond hope.

But she never expected.

When the mountains run out and the water ends, doubting there's no path; willows dark, flowers bright, another village appears.

In her moment of despair, the blood sacrifice aura was disrupted, giving her the power for a desperate counterattack.

It is obvious that Lin Yang's fierce attack took effect.

Unexpectedly, the opponent possessed such terrifying power, directly assaulting the Grand Priest.

Lin Yang nodded slightly: "Yes, we won."

Bai Hua Xianzi nodded, then she solemnly said: "Young master, do you know where the Grand Priest currently is?"

"Our counterattack just now must have severely wounded her; we should take the initiative and find a way to kill her."

"Otherwise, she has an indestructible ability; before long, she will rise from the ashes."

"We should strike while she's ill and take her life."

Bai Hua Xianzi's face showed worry.

The threat of Zi Youying had long seeped into her marrow; not seeing this person dead, she felt uneasy.

"No problem."

"She cannot rise from the ashes."

Lin Yang pointed to the Zi Youying being gnawed by the Taotie cubs nearby, responding calmly.

Bai Hua Xianzi frowned.

Then.

She followed the gaze.

"Young master, you mean… the person being gnawed by that pack of little puppies is the Grand Priest…?"

Just as she finished speaking.

Bai Hua Xianzi's face changed instantly.

Because.

Ten Taotie cubs simultaneously raised their heads—human-faced sheep bodies, eyes under the armpits, tiger teeth and human claws, big heads and big mouths, staring hostilely at Bai Hua Xianzi.

It seemed that being called 'little puppies' by Bai Hua Xianzi made them unhappy.

Upon seeing the appearance of the ten little fellows, Bai Hua Xianzi immediately became unsettled.

Her teeth chattered as she said, 'thump-thump-thump'.

"Ta…ta… Taotie's cubs."

"And there are ten of them."

At this moment, her expression was truly wonderful.

That incredulity, that terror mixed together, causing her face to stiffen.

She was even about to cry.

If she had known earlier that they were Taotie cubs.

She would absolutely not dare to call them little puppies directly.

However, the ten Taotie cubs had no intention of letting her go, baring their big teeth and glaring fiercely at Bai Hua Xianzi.

"Young… young master!" Bai Hua Xianzi trembled as she approached Lin Yang.

Such a mythic-level existence, even if just cubs, is beyond what ordinary people can contend with.

"Eat your food, don't stare around." Lin Yang rebuked.

With Lin Yang's command.

The ten Taotie cubs then continued to feast heartily.

Bai Hua Xianzi: "…"

She was dumbfounded.

Of course, the object of her dumbfounded stare was not the ten Taotie cubs.

But Lin Yang.

A single word from Lin Yang actually made these ten mythic-level divine beasts so obedient.

Who exactly is he?

Is he a god?

Her chest rose and fell, the shock evident without need for words.

In the Hundred Flowers Secret Realm, he easily subdued an ancestral dragon.

Now, he has also collected ten Taotie cubs.

Seeing Bai Hua Xianzi's astonished appearance.

Lin Yang explained, "Don't mind, they're just my children."

"Understood."

"I know."

"I believe you."

"I don't mind."

Baihuaxianzi nodded repeatedly; although the answer that the Taotie cubs were his children was absurd, at this moment she firmly believed it.

Because she cared more about whether Lin Yang could control these little guys than about the truth; if he couldn't, it would be troublesome.

Soon after.

The ten Taotie cubs, rolling up wind and remnants of clouds, devoured the Purple Gloom Shadow cleanly.

Afterwards.

They licked their big teeth, lined up neatly, and as they passed Baihuaxianzi they each glanced at her, then one by one jumped into the spatial rift behind Lin Yang.

Only after all ten little ones had jumped into the space did Baihuaxianzi finally breathe a sigh of relief, as if releasing a heavy burden.

Fortunately Lin Yang was there; otherwise her fate would likely be the same as the Grand Priest's.

But unbeknownst to her.

The Ancestral Dragon on Lin Yang's arm also licked its tongue.

At that moment, when Baihuaxianzi called the Taotie cubs little puppies, it readied itself; if Lin Yang ordered it to devour her, it would immediately absorb the aura of myriad things within Baihuaxianzi's body.

Unfortunately…

——————————

And at that moment.

Boom!

The ground suddenly exploded, and a figure flew out.

That person was Li Yilan.

Upon seeing Lin Yang, Li Yilan hurried over and asked anxiously, "Master, are you alright?"

"Has the person behind the purple petal power been dealt with?"

Quite obvious.

As for the situation outside, Li Yilan still didn't know; she had been below, only caring about madly destroying the blood sacrifice, and she didn't know how the controller of the blood sacrifice was.

Lin Yang smiled; she could sense that this girl truly cared about him.

He hadn't spoiled her in vain.

He replied, "I'm fine; everything's been settled."

Lin Yang told Li Yilan the full story of what had happened.

After Li Yilan learned the full story, she was utterly stunned; she never imagined that the purpose of their four great sects and three great clans was to nurture the aura of myriad things in order to attack the great demon Purple Gloom Shadow via blood sacrifice.

Fortunately, the matter was settled, and no further deaths occurred.

At the same time, upon learning that the woman beside her was actually their ancestor, Baihuaxianzi, she was even more shocked.

She first offered a salute to Baihuaxianzi.

Baihuaxianzi naturally knew that Li Yilan was Lin Yang's disciple; that this girl could receive such favor was her good fortune.

After the two exchanged a few words.

Only then did Lin Yang turn to Li Yilan and ask, "And you? Are you alright?"

Li Yilan smiled sweetly and replied, "I'm fine too."

"My parents' remains weren't harmed either."

Upon mentioning the word "parents," Lin Yang suddenly froze.

This Li girl still didn't know that she actually had no blood relation to those two corpses.

She was not the daughter of the Li clan chief and matriarch.

He was considering whether to reveal the truth to the Li girl.

And at that moment.

Li Yilan's eyes bright and spirited as she said, "Master, I humbly ask you to stay a few more days in Baihuagu Valley so I can bury my parents."

"The tree wishes for calm but the wind will not stop; the child wishes to nurture but the parents will not wait."

"Parents toil their whole lives for their children; she ought to fulfill such filial duty."

Seeing Li Yilan so resolute, Lin Yang also decided not to tell the Li girl about the lack of blood relation.

Some things should be left to take their natural course.

"When soldiers come, generals block them; when flood comes, earth dams it—regardless of what happened before, what changes occurred, or whether the Li girl and the Li clan share some unknown background secrets."

But the Li clan treats the Li girl well, and the Li girl treats the Li clan well.

That is enough.

Future matters can be left to the future.

Thus.

Lin Yang thus stayed a few more days in Baihuagu Valley.

And Li Yilan also buried her parents.

And that day.

Suddenly, a plump man in fine robes appeared in the sky, his aura immensely powerful.

He respectfully walked up to Li Yilan and spoke amiably.

"Miss, Fu Bo has come to fetch you home."
