Chapter 10: Yue Li
“Wait, why can’t I get my gift package right away?”
Su Lingxi really wanted to beat this system up, but after all her complaints, the system actually started ignoring her.
Su Lingxi could only give up. When she opened her eyes again, the sky had already turned dark.
Only a crackling bonfire remained in front of the stone bed, but there was no sign of Su Yuebai.
Instead of searching inside the cave, Su Lingxi released her divine sense to probe the surroundings. At the Foundation Establishment realm, her divine sense could cover a hundred meters at most.
However, that was more than enough for this cave.
Soon, Su Lingxi found Su Yuebai outside the cave. At this moment, she seemed to be saying something to a sound transmission stone, her expression tinged with anxiety.
Having confirmed Su Yuebai’s location, Su Lingxi didn’t make any extra moves and walked straight out of the cave.
Noticing Su Lingxi behind her, Su Yuebai’s expression shifted slightly. The anxious look from just a moment ago vanished, replaced by a smile that bloomed like a flower.
“Congratulations, Master, on embarking on the path of cultivation once again. With Master’s talent, it is only a matter of time before you return to your peak!”
Su Yuebai’s words were not false. Su Lingxi’s cultivation talent was one of the best in the Demon Clan. Given enough time, she could become that Female Demon Lord once more.
“I have to thank you for reconstructing my spiritual meridians. Without you, I’m afraid I would have long since…”
Su Lingxi didn’t finish her sentence. Without Su Yuebai, she would have probably already become someone’s fifth concubine.
Although everything had taken a turn for the better, there was still a key issue facing the two of them.
And that was their relationship.
“Master… I am your disciple, and also… your first dao companion. So, for Master, I am willing to do anything!”
Su Yuebai’s gaze began to burn with passion. Su Lingxi understood this kind of look; it was no longer a simple master-disciple affection.
But what Su Yuebai didn’t know was that beneath this beautiful master’s exterior was the heart of an innocent male university student.
A pure boy who had barely even held the hand of a girl his own age.
So, in a way, Su Yuebai was her first love. In a university setting, her looks and temperament could instantly defeat ninety-nine percent of the people around.
As Su Lingxi thought about this, her mind began to wander.
“Master? Master!”
Su Yuebai waved a hand in front of Su Lingxi’s face, only to see an expression that shouldn’t have been there.
Only then did Su Lingxi wipe the corner of her mouth and look seriously at Su Yuebai. She was truly happy to have such a girlfriend.
“Then from now on, let’s face everything together!”
Su Lingxi took the initiative to hold Su Yuebai’s hand. Under the moonlight, the two snuggled together, unwilling to part for a long time.
**
For the next few days, Su Lingxi and Su Yuebai were inseparable, just like a couple in the throes of new love. They explored the snowy scenery within a hundred miles, but never went too far, always returning to the cave in the end.
Su Lingxi also picked some spiritual beasts with cultivation levels similar to her own to get used to the strength of her body.
But Su Lingxi always had a feeling that Su Yuebai was hiding something from her.
On one ordinary night, after coaxing Su Lingxi to sleep, Su Yuebai didn’t lie down beside her as usual. Instead, she quietly gazed at her face.
“Master… I have to go…”
She had a reason she had to leave, but at the same time, she couldn’t bear to leave Su Lingxi.
Su Yuebai took out a recording stone from her spatial ring. She walked outside the cave and spoke a great deal to the recording stone.
She only stopped recording when she could no longer control her emotions.
Returning to the cave, Su Yuebai neatly folded the things she was leaving for Su Lingxi and placed them together, then left a kiss on Su Lingxi’s forehead.
Then, she resolutely turned and departed into the distance.
**
Su Lingxi did not sleep well that night. It wasn’t until the next morning that she discovered Su Yuebai was no longer in the cave.
She anxiously searched inside, then outside, but all that remained outside were Su Yuebai’s footprints, not yet covered by the wind and snow.
It was then that Su Lingxi noticed the things Su Yuebai had left behind: two beautiful long dresses and a set of Su Yuebai’s personal soft armor.
At that moment, Su Lingxi understood. Her face paled. “Could it be… Yuebai left?”
“Yes, she left!” the system unhelpfully reminded her in her mind.
During the past few days she had spent with Su Yuebai, the system hadn’t said a single word to her.
Coupled with Su Yuebai being by her side constantly, she had almost forgotten about the system.
“She left a recording stone. You’ll find the answers you want there.”
Following the system’s guidance, Su Lingxi found the strangely shaped stone.
But the stone didn’t have a switch or anything. Suddenly, an idea struck her. She directly infused her spiritual energy into the recording stone, and it instantly exploded into fragments.
But after waiting for a long time, nothing happened.
Su Lingxi: “…”
“Aiyo, you’re so stupid. You got the wrong stone.”
The system once again transformed into the white-haired loli and ran in front of Su Lingxi, directly picking up a shimmering, lustrous stone.
“You can actually come out!” Su Lingxi exclaimed.
“Did I ever say I couldn’t?” The white-haired loli rolled her eyes and tossed the correct stone to Su Lingxi.
With the stone in her hand, Su Lingxi was at a loss for what to do.
“By the way, you can call me Xiao Bai from now on. Even though I’m a system, I can’t just be called ‘System’ all the time!”
Xiao Bai puffed out her cheeks, and her figure dissipated into specks of white light, merging into Su Lingxi’s body.
Watching Xiao Bai merge with her, Su Lingxi could only marvel at the wonders of the vast world.
Using the same method, the recording stone was once again crushed by Su Lingxi.
The moment it shattered, a familiar voice echoed through the cave.
“Master… Third Junior Sister used a secret technique to send a message, telling me that something major has happened in the clan, so this disciple must return.”
“Master’s cultivation is still too weak. Following this disciple back to the Demon Clan would be fraught with danger, so this disciple could only make the decision to leave Master here. Although this place is exceptionally cold, there aren’t many powerful auras around, so it is still very safe to stay here.”
“Master… you must protect yourself well. Before you have sufficient cultivation, it is best not to return to the Demon Clan for the time being.”
“One last thing… Yuebai misses you very much.”
Su Yuebai’s voice faded in the cave, and a piece of Su Lingxi’s heart seemed to go missing, leaving her feeling empty inside.
Although, as a transmigrator, she had only been with Su Yuebai for less than half a month, they had both fallen for each other, body and soul.
This kind of parting was undoubtedly painful…
