Chapter 40: A Farewell Kiss from Luo Chuxue
Su Lingxi’s injuries weren’t actually that serious. After taking a few healing pills, her complexion stabilized a lot.
The defense of the Ice Heart Art had absorbed ninety percent of the force, and only one-tenth of the power had hit her.
Even so, it had caused her blood to surge, and her internal organs had almost been displaced.
Su Lingxi’s face was ashen. Luo Chuxue had blocked the fatal blow for her. She felt that staying here would only be a burden to Luo Chuxue.
In truth, she didn’t know why Luo Chuxue had protected her. Even if they had some friendship, it shouldn’t have reached this point.
“Xiao Bai, can you tell me the clue for the last ingredient of the Ice Heart Jade Dew Pill?”
Su Lingxi had come to the Snowfall Sect for the Immaculate Water, but now that she had obtained it, there was no reason to stay in the Snowfall Sect.
“The last ingredient is Netherfrost Dew. It is located in the Snow Realm within the Glacial Snow Domain,” Xiao Bai analyzed.
“Snow Realm? What is that place?”
Su Lingxi had no knowledge of this place in her mind.
Xiao Bai: “It’s a secret realm, but I suggest you stay in the Snowfall Sect. The Snowfall Sect selects outstanding disciples to go to the Snow Realm for training every year.”
“And your Ice Heart Art has only cultivated to the second level. The incantations for the next four levels can only be learned after entering the inner court.”
“If you’re going to leave, you should at least learn the Ice Heart Art before you go.”
Su Lingxi’s eyes were downcast, and tears glistened in them. Luo Chuxue’s pale face came to her mind. “Staying here will only hurt Senior Sister. Her brother is a genius, I can’t deny that.”
“If I hadn’t come here, maybe she would have cultivated in peace and wouldn’t have had a conflict with her brother.”
Xiao Bai didn’t speak. She had no right to make decisions for her host.
“Let’s go.”
Su Lingxi had already made her decision. As for the Ice Heart Art, it wasn’t important.
At worst, she could just buy other spiritual techniques in the mall.
And she was a member of the Demon Clan. If her identity was discovered, Luo Chuxue would probably be the first to jump out and kill her.
Su Lingxi packed her things into her spatial ring. She didn’t have the courage to say goodbye to Luo Chuxue.
She only had two good friends in the Snowfall Sect: Luo Chuxue and Xiao Yun.
As for Big Brother Xiao, she would just leave him a letter.
Before leaving, she planned to tell Xiao Yun her identity. It was better not to let him misunderstand.
After all, she wasn’t very confident about finding him a dao companion.
Su Lingxi planned to leave after dark. She folded her robe and token and placed them together.
She didn’t know if she would be found by the people of the Snowfall Sect if she snuck away like this.
Probably not. There were so many people in the Snowfall Sect. One more or one less wouldn’t make a difference.
“It’s about time.”
Su Lingxi looked at the sky and prepared to get up. Xiao Yun next door was still snoring. Everything was as usual.
She turned her head and took a deep look at the courtyard. This was the first place where she had felt a sense of belonging.
After leaving here, she would truly be a rogue cultivator.
Just as she was about to fly up, a hand suddenly grabbed her wrist.
“Where are you going?”
Luo Chuxue’s stunningly beautiful face slowly appeared in the night. Su Lingxi was shocked.
How could Luo Chuxue’s timing always be so coincidental?
“I’m not going anywhere. I just came out for a walk.”
“Senior Sister, your injuries…”
Su Lingxi couldn’t help but look at Luo Chuxue’s wound.
Luo Chuxue had changed her clothes, but her face was still a little pale.
She subconsciously tightened her clothes to make herself look more natural.
“It’s nothing serious anymore, just a penetrating wound. The Snowfall Sect has the best healing resources. This little injury is nothing.”
“It’s good that Senior Sister is fine.” Su Lingxi breathed a sigh of relief.
“You’re leaving… aren’t you?” Luo Chuxue saw the clue in Su Lingxi’s expression at a glance.
Su Lingxi didn’t want to hide it from her, so she nodded. “I don’t belong here. Staying here will only be a burden to Senior Sister.”
“And Senior Sister… you could have avoided so much trouble.”
“Without me, you and your brother…”
“Don’t mention him again!” Luo Chuxue’s expression was pained, and her emotions were on the verge of collapse.
“It’s not just him. I feel like everyone is forcing me, forcing me to do things I don’t want to do!”
Luo Chuxue’s words made Su Lingxi a little confused. “Senior Sister, what’s wrong…”
Luo Chuxue’s eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Su Lingxi.
“Sometimes I really envy you, being able to live so freely.”
“Brother has already been put in confinement by the Great Elder. You don’t have to worry about his revenge.”
“So… you can stay here.”
There were many things about Luo Chuxue that Su Lingxi didn’t know, but she no longer had the time to get to know her senior sister.
Su Lingxi shook her head. “I’m sorry, Senior Sister. I… don’t want to stay here anymore.”
Hearing this, Luo Chuxue took a deep breath. “I was the one who brought you here. Since you insist on leaving, then let me see you off.”
Along the way, neither Su Lingxi nor Luo Chuxue spoke, but they both deliberately slowed their pace.
But the end would come sooner or later, and they would have to part ways sooner or later.
At the plaza at the foot of the mountain, Su Lingxi looked at this place with mixed feelings.
She had entered the Snowfall Sect here, heard an elder teach the Ice Heart Art, and seen the luxurious spiritual ark with her own eyes.
“Senior Sister… Chuxue… after I leave, I will no longer be a member of the Snowfall Sect. So when we meet again in the future, I’ll just call you Chuxue!”
Su Lingxi forced a smile, trying to liven up the atmosphere.
“Alright,” Luo Chuxue replied.
There were no more words, just a simple one.
Su Lingxi wanted to say more, but with parting just ahead, saying too much was always a bit inappropriate.
“Say goodbye to Big Brother Xiao for me.”
Su Lingxi no longer hesitated. The moment she flew up, she suddenly fell to the ground.
“Hey, what’s going on?”
She looked back and saw Luo Chuxue circulating her spiritual energy to control her.
“Chuxue… what are you doing?”
Luo Chuxue’s gaze suddenly became gentle and lingering, every look filled with an emotion that was hard to part with.
Her thoughts gradually returned to the side of that pool.
By the Immaculate Pool, she had been seen by Su Lingxi by accident, but in fact, the mist was thick that day.
Su Lingxi hadn’t seen anything at all. It was just her imagination.
She was angry at that time, but Su Lingxi’s gaze was pure.
She couldn’t bear to send her to the Law Enforcement Hall. And it just so happened that Su Lingxi had used the excuse of seeing a doctor to ask her to let her off.
Luo Chuxue had done so.
In the following days, Su Lingxi had brought her surprises time and time again.
It wasn’t just the delicious food that Su Lingxi brought out each time. In fact, the most important thing was that she could be herself around her without having to pretend.
She could be a carefree girl.
No Father Emperor… no brother… she could eat whatever she wanted… do whatever she wanted…
Those were her best days. Now, even Su Lingxi was being forced away by them.
She really, really wanted to keep her, but… how could she?
Her thoughts returned to the present. Su Lingxi was unable to move. She didn’t know what Luo Chuxue was going to do.
Could it be that Luo Chuxue had regretted it?
Luo Chuxue was in a daze for a moment and then came to her senses. She quickly stepped forward without any more hesitation.
Su Lingxi was about to speak when her chin was suddenly lifted by Luo Chuxue, and then her warm lips pressed against hers.
Unlike Su Yuebai’s forceful and domineering kiss, Luo Chuxue’s kiss was clearly inexperienced, but it was incredibly soft and delicate, intoxicating.
Su Lingxi lay on the snow, letting Luo Chuxue kiss her.
Su Lingxi closed her eyes and no longer resisted. After a long while, their lips parted.
She heard Luo Chuxue’s somewhat domineering voice, “Now… do you still want to leave?”
