Chapter 736

True Person Zhuiyue, Bai Ri, the founder of the Laurel Xiangong, was active from the late Great Yu era to the early Great Xia era. It is rumored that her grace was elegant, her beauty transcendent, like a fairy, causing countless heroes and gallants of that time to be obsessed and infatuated.

Lu Yang pulled his attention back from his memory and looked through the mental space at the little girl Bai Ye, who was called "Bai Ri." She looked to be about ten years old, not much taller than his own shrunken self.

She was cute, but wasn't the gap between her and adjectives like "graceful and elegant" a bit too far?

"You aren't the Laurel Tree Ancestor? How did you become True Person Zhuiyue?" The Immortal Fairy was puzzled. She had felt before that Bai Ye wasn't just the Laurel Tree Ancestor, and now that she asked, there was indeed a problem.

Bai Ri was stunned: "How do you know about the Laurel Tree Ancestor?"

She shouldn't have told anyone about this.

"You tell me first what the situation is with this body of yours." The Immortal Fairy wouldn't be stupid enough to answer whatever others asked; this was called information exchange.

"If you can catch me, I'll tell you." Bai Ri curled her lips. This kid named Lu Yang was truly interesting. No wonder Bai Ye looked for him every night to tell stories.

As her voice fell, Bai Ri instantly disappeared into the vast snow, her trail hard to find. Looking around, there was only the dense laurel forest.

Bai Ri's cultivation was so high that even if Lu Yang were to recover his original strength, let alone being a child now, he wouldn't be able to catch the hem of her clothes!

Unfortunately, the current Lu Yang was not Lu Yang.

"You still want to run right under my nose!" The Immortal Fairy was filled with fighting spirit. Under her exquisite deduction, the true culprit had revealed her true face, and only the final capture remained.

The Immortal Fairy swung her two little arms and ran, her gaze determined, her target clear.

Huff—puff—

The Immortal Fairy's breathing method was extremely regular, as if it contained some kind of strange power, making Lu Yang feel very curious.

Legend has it that in the most ancient times, the earliest Qi Refining stage cultivators were called Qi Practitioners. The cultivation method they mastered was called the Breathing Method. By breathing in a specific way, they could produce all sorts of wonders; it was truly incredible.

Lu Yang carefully felt his physical condition and was surprised to find that after using the Breathing Method, he could actually prevent cold wind from rushing into his mouth and nose!

What a powerful Breathing Method!

"He shouldn't be able to find me if I run here." Bai Ri ran to a corner of the Xiangong. The Xiangong was already vast and sparsely populated, and this corner was a place where no one would pass for decades; it was absolutely safe.

Bai Ri found Lu Yang a bit tricky. There was no deep hatred between the two, so there was no reason to go for the kill.

If she couldn't go for the kill, she could only run.

"How exactly did he find me before?"

"That's right, I hid near the Tree Ancestor just now. He saw that I had some connection with the Tree Ancestor and went to the Tree Ancestor's place to try his luck."

"Troublesome kid, no wonder he has experienced so many things at such a young age."

Three hours later, a familiar voice came.

"Found you, don't run!"

The Immortal Fairy was seen stepping on skis made of laurel wood, carrying a basket of spirit fruits on her back. When she got tired of skiing, she would gnaw on a couple of spirit fruits to replenish her energy.

From the laurel forest to the corner of the Xiangong, the Immortal Fairy had skied for a full three hours!

If she hadn't had skis, this time would have been even longer!

The Immortal Fairy had calculated through the ages and even knew knowledge like the shortest distance between two points being a straight line. In order to take the shortest route to find Bai Ri, she skied all the way, overcoming obstacles along the way, passing through the pill refining room, the weapon refining room, the hot springs, and other places.

Her movements were elegant, her skiing skillful; one look and you could tell she was an old hand.

Along the way, she had encountered many eyewitnesses, but the disciples of the Xiangong all thought Lu Yang was simply skiing and didn't know she was actually pursuing a criminal.

"No, Fairy, when did you learn to ski?"

"Hmph hmph, didn't expect that, did you? In the ancient times, I calculated today's events and practiced the art of skiing in advance with a mortal body." The Immortal Fairy said brazenly.

"How exactly did you find me!" Bai Ri felt like she had seen a ghost. Did she leave some scent on her body that allowed Lu Yang to smell her location, or was it that as long as one had listened to Lu Yang's stories, one would be marked by Lu Yang?

Bai Ri just wanted to continue running away when her legs suddenly went soft, and she couldn't exert any strength.

Oh no, it's night time.

"Yawn... why did I run here today?" "Bai Ri" sat on the ground in a daze, looking around in confusion. Wasn't this a corner of the Xiangong? There was nothing fun here at all.

At the same time, she also saw the Immortal Fairy skiing toward her.

"Senior Brother Lu Yang!" "Bai Ri" waved excitedly at the Immortal Fairy.

The Immortal Fairy made a beautiful turn and stopped sideways, splashing up snow waves more than a person's height, and stopped in front of "Bai Ri."

"Now you are Bai Ye, right?"

"Senior Brother Lu Yang, you knew?" Bai Ye opened her little mouth, revealing an expression of surprise.

The Immortal Fairy smiled. She had witnessed the process of "Bai Ri" turning into "Bai Ye" with her own eyes and finally understood what was going on.

"One body, two souls. At the time of the alternation of yin and yang, the dominance is swapped. Am I right?"

"Senior Brother Lu Yang, you know so much." Bai Ye was even more surprised, feeling that Lu Yang knew more than she did.

"That's right, don't look at who I—who this person is!"

"Little Ye, wait a moment, I'll chat with Lu Yang for a bit." Bai Ri temporarily occupied the initiative of the body.

Bai Ri sighed. Things had reached this point, and there was no need to hide it anymore. It would be better to tell Lu Yang everything, lest this kid keep chasing her relentlessly.

"I don't know what's up with you kid, even knowing about things like one body with two souls."

"You guessed right. I am me, and little Ye is little Ye, but we share one body. During the day, I use this body, and at night, she uses this body."

"Little Ye's true form is the Laurel Tree Ancestor. The Tree Ancestor is rooted in the Great Snow Mountain and cannot leave its territory. It cannot leave this Great Snow Mountain, so it has always longed for life in the outside world."

"She often goes to eavesdrop on the disciples of the Xiangong telling stories about their missions outside. When she saw your story in Lan Ting's mission report, she had always hoped to see you with her own eyes."

"After 'The Legend of the Congwendao Sect' spread to the Xiangong, little Ye's desire to see you became even stronger."

"As it happened, you came, and she ran to your place every night to listen to stories. Of course, I was listening too."

"To be honest, I really didn't want you to come to the Xiangong. Before little Ye heard of you, she had always been listening to me tell stories—telling her how I fought for the world with people like Jiang Ping'an and Meng Junzi in those years, and how we established the Great Xia."

"After you appeared, little Ye's attention shifted completely to you."

Bai Ri sighed again, looking at Lu Yang with an indescribable strangeness in her eyes: "Although I don't really want to admit it, I have to say that your experiences over these past few years are indeed much more outrageous than mine."
