Volume 5, Chapter 45 – The Former Residence, Some Dusty Memories

Bai Xuansheng.

The previous head of the Bai family, and father to Bai Bin, Bai Nuoyu, and Bai Chengwu.

In the Bai family that revered ancient customs, almost all Bai family members addressed him as “Family Head.”

The address ‘Uncle Bai Xuansheng’… in Bai Bin’s memory, only one person had ever used it.

For a moment, the cold face of a black-haired youth quietly surfaced in Bai Bin’s mind.

At this moment, Bai Bin couldn’t help but gasp,

“You… you are? Bai Lianyue?”

“Oh?”

The man standing before Bai Bin raised an eyebrow, a flash of surprise crossing his eyes.

“You recognized me so quickly… you’re more capable than I imagined?”

“You, you’re actually still alive? You were clearly already cremated! And why do you look like father?!”

“This form…”

Looking down at his own figure, Bai Lianyue sighed with somewhat complex emotions.

“I can only say that the person you fear most is Uncle Bai Xuansheng…”

“You, what are you saying?”

“Nothing…”

Considering that continuing to act in her true form, even if she tried hard to suppress the curse power pressure, would probably still crush Bai Bin to death, Bai Lianyue helplessly snapped her fingers.

The next moment,

Under Bai Bin’s stunned gaze, Bai Lianyue’s form was instantly enveloped in ice-blue light, then twisted and transformed. When the ice-blue light dispersed, a beautiful elf maiden with cyan-silver gradient long hair appeared before Bai Bin.

The moment he saw her face, Bai Bin’s pupils suddenly contracted.

“You?!! It’s, it’s you?!! That elf?!! You’re actually that elf?!!”

At this moment, Bai Bin discovered in shock that the elf maiden Bai Lianyue had transformed into was exactly the being their Bai family had been desperately searching for these past days.

“What, what’s going on??”

“Nothing much… just think of it as me being reborn in another world, then getting a new body and coming back.”

Bai Lianyue said indifferently.

Her experiences in Yao Xing were too complex, impossible to explain in a few words… She had no patience to explain it to Bai Bin.

“In any case, you just need to know that I’ve returned.”

“Bai Lianyue…”

Silently reciting that once disturbing name, Bai Bin swallowed a mouthful of saliva in terror.

Although countless questions arose in Bai Bin’s mind about the current situation, he clearly had no energy to care about these things now. Bai Bin only cared about one thing…

“Are you, are you here for revenge? To… kill me?”

Bai Bin asked anxiously.

While asking, Bai Bin nervously glanced to the side, looking at those Mu family members who had been torn apart by the Blood Demon Beasts and died miserably. Thinking that he might suffer the same fate, Bai Bin’s heart was almost torn apart by fear.

However, Bai Lianyue’s next words made Bai Bin tremble all over, surprise suddenly surging in his eyes.

—”Didn’t I say… I don’t plan to kill you.”—

“Ah? You… what did you say? Not kill me? Why… why?”

For a moment, Bai Bin didn’t even want to believe his own ears.

“I told you the reason just now… because you’re Uncle Bai Xuansheng’s son. I promised uncle… I wouldn’t harm you all.”

Bai Lianyue said indifferently.

—”Lianyue, promise uncle, don’t hurt these children, okay? Get along well with them. Of course, if these brats provoke you first, giving them a proper beating isn’t out of the question, haha. Hmm? You ask what’s proper? Proper means… just don’t beat them to death, hahaha!”—

For a moment, a bold and hearty voice seemed to cross the river of history, directly echoing in Bai Lianyue’s ears.

Toward the Bai family as a whole, Bai Lianyue had no good feelings.

But toward Uncle Bai Xuansheng, Bai Lianyue held considerable respect.

After all,

If Uncle Bai Xuansheng hadn’t brought her, an orphan of unknown origin, back to the Bai family years ago, she would probably have died long ago on that chaotic battlefield.

To Bai Lianyue, Bai Xuansheng was essentially her savior.

And the “father” who had raised her for many years.

Therefore,

The evil god miss would naturally show respect for Bai Xuansheng’s request.

“Not, not going to kill me…”

Clutching his chest, Bai Bin kept gasping. However, his entire being was still in a pale state, seemingly still not recovered from the fear of approaching death just now.

And just then, the elf maiden continued questioning:

“Where is Bai Nuoyu?”

“Hmm… ah?”

Bai Bin was stunned, looking at Bai Lianyue in confusion.

The elf maiden then coldly repeated this question.

“I’m asking you, where is your sister, Bai Nuoyu?”

With these words, the terrifying pressure belonging to an evil god once again enveloped Bai Bin, directly making him tremble all over, blood beginning to continuously overflow from his facial features.

Although according to Bai Chengwu, Bai Nuoyu had disappeared on her way back to the Bai family after leaving her and Xingwu that year, Bai Lianyue’s intuition told her… things were definitely not that simple.

Bai Nuoyu’s disappearance was definitely related to the man before her.

Facing Bai Lianyue’s icy gaze, Bai Bin couldn’t help but nervously swallow.

After several seconds of silence, Bai Bin nodded as if resigned to his fate.

“Alright, I’ll take you there…”

“…”

After hearing this response, the evil god miss calmly snapped her fingers.

The black thorns dancing around and the floating Crimson Spectre Eyes all retreated into the black liquid, which then flowed back to Bai Lianyue’s feet.

“Don’t try any tricks.”

“No, I won’t.”

Twenty minutes later, the evil god miss, once again in Bai Xingwu’s form, was led by Bai Bin to another suburb of Cangdu.

That is, one of Uncle Bai Xuansheng’s many properties.

“It’s, it’s here…”

Bai Bin said quietly.

“…”

Hearing this, Bai Lianyue didn’t reply, but silently stepped forward, gazing at the three-story villa before her.

“So… it’s here…”

The evil god miss murmured.

As if triggered by the scene,

some vague memory fragments surfaced in Bai Lianyue’s mind.

You see, this place…

was where she had first lived after coming to Hualong Nation.

It was also where she had first met Bai Nuoyu.

“Kid… from now on you’ll be called Bai Lianyue. You’ll live here for a while. This is your home now.”

A man wearing black-framed glasses and with a kind face smiled as he spoke, casting a gentle gaze toward the silver-haired little boy whose hand he was holding.

“…”

The little boy remained silent, not responding, but silently looked toward the luxurious villa ahead.

In his empty, lifeless eyes, a rare glimmer of light appeared.

“Home…”

Just as the little boy was murmuring to himself, a sharp voice quietly rang in their ears.

“Daddy! Is this girl the new servant you prepared for me?!”

With the sound, the little boy slowly turned his head toward the source.

That is, toward the little girl of about eight or nine years old, wearing a white princess dress with pink pupils.

“What are you looking at? How dare you not bow when seeing this young lady? How rude!”

The girl put her hands on her hips, speaking arrogantly.

At the same time, the girl also stepped closer to the silver-haired boy, playfully pursing her lips.

“Emmm… but this girl is quite cute. Alright then, looks-wise she can barely serve as my servant!”

“…”

The boy didn’t speak.

However, the man standing beside him awkwardly raised his hand to his forehead.

“Nuoyu… he’s not your new servant. You need to treat him as family, understand? Also, Lianyue is a boy.”

“Hmm? A boy?”

The girl named Nuoyu raised her eyebrows in surprise upon hearing this.

Then she brought her head close to the boy’s face, confidently examining him.

“Actually a boy? That’s somewhat unexpected. You should cut your hair later, it’s too long and easily confusing. Whatever, anyway… since daddy says you’re family…”

Speaking thus, after patting her chest, the naturally familiar Bai Nuoyu extended her hand toward the little boy.

“Hey, I’m called Bai Nuoyu. Let’s get along well from now on~, Lianyue~”
